BATTERY CHARGER MONITOR

INTRODUCTION
This unit is a fully EN54-4 compliant battery charger which also incorporates, in some models, a loop interface that can be
used with all of GFE’s addressable panels. It will monitor all fault conditions including: charger fault, charger voltage level,
input voltage supply fault and supply removal. It can be supplied as a standalone module or boxed in an ABS plastic
enclosure, including a 28V DC @ 1.7 or 2.4 AmpPSU. The standalone unit has 10A current rating and is supplied complete
with heat dissipation.
Battery charge is fully monitored and current output controlled and limited to a maximum of 4 Amps. Two auxillirary
output relays are provided both equipped with a set of changeover contacts. One is used to signal fault conditions. The
Output relay, which is only available for addressable versions, can be used when included in an IO Group.

- Battery Terminal Connections
Connect batteries as shown on page 6 of this manual. Maximum battery capacity for boxed units is 2 x 12V 7Ah batteries.
- Supply Output Terminal Connections
This output supplies a nominal voltage value of 28V DC. Current drive capacity depends on module specification.
- Supply Input Terminal Connections
- Loop Connections
Analogue Loop Connections. Device is not polarity conscious.
- Output relayTerminal Connections
A single pole changeover relay is provided. Activation of relay is possible via panel programming using IO group feature.
Please refer to panel installation manual for further details.
- Fault Relay Terminal Connections
A single pole changeover relay is provided. Activation of relay is caused by any fault detected within the monitoring
circuitry of the module.When device is in fault condition, the analogue value reported to the panel is 2 and it is indicated
by the panel as a supply fault. In these cases both the GENERAL and SUPPLY FAULTS LEDs are ON. Location of the fault is
also provided on the LCD screen where both the Loop and ADDRESS of the device generating the fault are indicated on
the LCD screen.

SETTINGS
Addressable IO Unit
Units fitted with a built-in addressable IO unit can be directly connected to a device loop on any of GFE’s addressable
panels, via the loop connections.These devices will be monitored directly by the panel.
When fitted, these units will be displayed as IO units and its analogue value monitored by the panel. When there are no
faults on the BCM unit the analogue value reported by the device to the panel is 16 and when in fault condition is 2.
When the device is showing a fault condition, which is always associated with either a fault in the battery charger or
battery voltage as monitored by the module, the panel will also indicate this condition locally by turning ON the
GENERAL FAULT and SUPPLY FAULT LEDs. The LCD of the panel will also display the location of module with a clear
indication of both Loop and Device Address and its associated text label.
Activation of the relay output is accomplished by including the unit in an IO Group. This group can then be assigned to
either a zone or device. Please refer to the Installation Manual of the panel being used for further information regarding
cause and effect programming and functions associated with IO units and groups.

GFE-BCM

Battery Connections
It is recommended that the batteries are fitted at the end of commissioning the system otherwise it can be difficult to
remove the power quickly if there is a problem.
The batteries are connected to the GFE-BCM module board. This battery connection not only supplies the module
with power if the primary supply should fail, it also provides a charging output to maintain the batteries in a fully
charged state.
Before connecting the batteries check the voltage across the battery connection terminals. It should be 28.0V +/- 0.5V.
NOTE: arcing and fire risk. Never short circuit the battery terminals. Always connect the blue wire between the
batteries last.
