Circuit and its working

The circuit diagram of the emergency light cum advertising display board is shown in Fig. 2. It comprises transformer X1, 12V voltage regulator LM7812 (IC1), timer NE555 (IC2), NPN transistor SL100 (T1), a 12V SPDT relay, and some other components. The transformer and bridge rectifier recharge the battery directly when mains 230V AC is connected across CON1.
