Tips

• Requires a Compatible Grid Plate: The CBi Bell Push Insert 4A White (BI661-P) is an insert and does not come with a faceplate. You must purchase a compatible CBI-electric grid plate (e.g., G000-P, G001-P, G002-P, G003-P, G004-P, etc.) separately to complete the installation. Ensure the chosen grid plate has an available slot for a lever insert.
• Low Voltage Application: Bell pushes typically operate on low-voltage doorbell circuits (e.g., 8V, 12V, 24V from a transformer), not directly on mains voltage. Ensure your doorbell system is correctly wired with a transformer to avoid damage to the bell push or safety hazards. While the insert is rated for 4A, this applies to the current it can switch, not necessarily the operating current of a standard doorbell.
• Professional Installation Recommended: While installing the insert into a grid plate is simple, the wiring of the doorbell circuit itself should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and proper functionality.
• Leverage the Fluorescent Indicator: For the fluorescent insert to glow effectively in the dark, ensure it receives sufficient exposure to ambient light during the day. The material absorbs light energy and then slowly releases it as a subtle glow when conditions are dark, making the bell push easy to locate.
• Regular Cleaning: To preserve the pristine white finish, regularly wipe the bell push surface with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the plastic or the internal components.
• Maintain Aesthetic Consistency: For a truly cohesive and professional look throughout your property, consider pairing the BI661-P with other CBI-electric Plastic Range accessories (e.g., light switches, power sockets, data outlets) that share the same design language and white finish.
• Check for Functionality: After installation, test the doorbell system to ensure the bell push is making proper contact and activating the chime reliably. If there are intermittent issues, check the wiring connections.
