Battery exchange in BSF7 and BSF8 stations
All BSx7 and BSx8 control stations are equipped with high quality lithium batteries. The continuous
current in standby mode is extremely small.To avoid problems with the cable connector the batteries
of these control stations are soldered directly to the electronic board. The battery exchange requires
technical equipment and skills. Please read the following instructions to learn how the battery
exchange can be realized successfully.
BSx7 battery exchange
Remove the 4 screws with a screwdriver.
Take care of the nuts falling off at the back
side.
The box is tightly sealed. Take a blunt knife or
a flat screwdriver to open the box carefully.
Remove the two screws that hold the board in
the housing. Lift the board with the hole first
and then move the board slightly out of the
housing. Take care of the cable if the station is
equipped with a cable output.

Cut the shrink tube around the battery with a
side cutter. Be careful to not touch the board
electronics with the tool.
Desolder the battery contacts with a 40 to 60
Watts soldering iron. The temperature should
be between 350°C and 400°C,
because lead free tin solder was used.
Important! There is a risk of explosion when
the battery lugs are shorted. Please do not
forget to cut the soldering lugs from the battery
with a side cutter.
It is required to dispose of the batteries as
hazardous waste. Please bring them to a
collecting point or send them back to us.
Bend the soldering lugs of the new battery
around the board.

Pay attention to the right polarity of the battery!
The green ring on the battery is the minus
pole, „+“ and „-“ are marked on the printed
circuit board.
To solder on the battery, additional tin solder is
necessary. Please use only lead-free tin
solder, we recommend alloy Sn 95.5 / Ag 3.8 /
Cu 0.7 with a diameter less than 1.0 mm.
While contacting the solder lugs to the solder
pads the station gets a reset signal and is
brought on-line with 2 beeps. Press down the
lugs with a spiky tweezer while soldering and
wait for the soldering pads to cool down until
you can safely touch them.
Slip the shrink tube over the stations board
starting from the top. Do not remove the cable
from the BSM7 station.

Put the shrink tube evenly over the battery as
shown in the picture. Start heating it up with a
heat gun at level 2. Move the board back and
forth over the heat gun for about one second
for each side.
A perfect result can be seen in the pictures. If
the shrink tube cracks, replace it and use a
new one.
Be sure to not cover the LED at the back side
of the board.
Put the board carefully back in the case and
fasten the screws.
Clean the rubber ring with some alcohol and
apply silicone spray to ensure a proper sealing
of the rubber ring.
Close the case and fasten the screws. Use a
low gear level for the cordless screwdriver.
You need to reset the battery parameters,
check the settings and set the time of the
station with Config+ afterwards (see below).

battery with a finger while soldering and wait
for the soldering pads to cool down until you
can safely touch them.
Put the big rubber ring in the groove of the
ground plate.
Press it inside with the special case (article
number 33360).
Cover the large rubber ring with a small
quantity of liquid silicone continually.
The small round rubber ring is not covered with
silicone and must not be touched.
We strongly recommend to only use our
special electronics silicone as it does not
corrode the rubber sealing or plastic parts.

Clench together the ground plate and the
upper part.
Put the station in a dry and warm place. It
takes 24 hours until the silicone is hardened.
Finally remove the excess silicone with a
plastic strip with a sharp edge. Do not use
metal tools to no damage the housing.
Clean up the station with a soft cloth.
Clean up the station with a soft cloth.

Writing new battery parameters to the station
To write the battery change date and to reset the consumption counter in the station, you need to
enable the service mode in Config+. You can use the shortcut on your Desktop to do this.
1. Right click on the shortcut and bring up the
properties dialog.
2. In the text box “Target:” scroll to the most right
position and
append a “ --service” after the last quote
character.
3. The last few characters should look like this:
\SPORTident.ConfigPlus.exe" --service.
4. Confirm the changes with OK.
Now start up Config+ by clicking on the Desktop icon.
1. First select your device connection
and choose direct or remote
depending on which device battery
to have changed.
2. Read/verify the device settings and
correct if required.
3. In the menu “Service” select the
sub menu “New device battery…”.
4. In the upcoming dialog select the
