When OFF the module will monitor the battery voltage and it will disconnect battery when
below 21V DC avoiding deep discharge.
SW 3 - ON
In this case the battery voltage monitoring is disabled.

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.
