GFE-BCM
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 Amp PSU. 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.
