System Overview
2.1 Topology
The BIC system transmits 4 binary signals from the mobile unit (Remote) via the air gap to the
stationary unit (Base). In addition to this signal transmission, the BIC system provides electric
power to the sensors connected to the Remote. The maximum permissible transmission
distance between Base and Remote is 3mm at a permissible offset of
±
3mm

The components are housed in an IP 67 protected brass enclosure
Sensors
For the standard version of electronic sensors, observe the following:
•
Be sure that the total current draw of the sensors is not greater than 100mA.
•
Only use sensors with a voltage of 12 V DC.
Mechanical switches
For the standard version of mechanical switches, observe the following:
•
Use switches for small load currents
•
Use switches with a residual current I <0.1 mA in the open switching state
•
The total resistance of the circuit should be less than 1 kOhm
