ESISTANCE
The BVMBC can detect an increase in battery resistance of
22m

, an increase in battery resistance indicates an ageing
battery that must be replaced.
The as new resistance of a given battery will depend on the
manufacturer, capacity and cabling from the BVMBC to the
battery.
Therefore the BVMBC Battery Hi Res fault threshold must be
configured for the batteries chosen and the installation.
The BVMBC has a built in “diagnostic mode” that is accessed by
pressing and holding the L/Test button for 10 seconds.
The Fault LED’s then indicate the measured battery resistance as
shown below;
