Code Blue 40476 Audio Paging BSL Solar Kit
Overview
The Code Blue 40476 is a solar power kit designed to extend audio paging infrastructure to remote or off-grid locations where grid power is impractical or unavailable. This accessory powers Code Blue BSL (outdoor speaker/paging) systems via solar charging, eliminating the need for trenched electrical runs to distant announcement points, guard stations, or emergency communication towers. The kit operates on 12–24V DC, matching the input voltage of Code Blue's outdoor audio amplification lineup, making it a drop-in solution for facility-wide paging networks that span multiple buildings or outdoor perimeters.
Compatibility
The 40476 is designed as a replacement or accessory component for Code Blue BSL Series outdoor paging systems. It integrates with Code Blue's tower and wall-mount audio enclosures, including CB1, CB2, CB4, CB5, CB6, and CB9 Series configurations. Verify your existing BSL amplifier voltage specification (12V or 24V DC input) before ordering, as the kit must match your system's power requirements. The solar kit is compatible with Code Blue's standard outdoor speaker enclosure mounting options—wall, pole, and recessed installations all support solar panel placement.
Installation Notes
Solar panel placement requires unobstructed southern exposure (northern hemisphere) with minimal shading from 9 AM to 3 PM for optimal charging. The kit includes mounting hardware for standard pole and wall configurations. Wire the output terminals directly to your BSL amplifier's 12V or 24V DC input, observing polarity markings. Ensure all external connections use weatherproof strain relief and UV-resistant conduit where exposed. Battery backup capacity depends on the included battery reservoir and ambient light conditions; size accordingly if 24/7 operation is required during winter months or extended cloudy periods.
