General
Introduction
The microcontroller controlled battery chargers of the
BCI 800 R series are designed for wall mount and
work with an airow based cooling at models with up
to 640W output power or a fan cooling at models with
output power higher than 640W.
They are intended to charge different type of lead
batteries, Lithium batteries and Nickel batteries. The
multi-stage, temperature compensating charging pro-
cedure allows fast, complete and careful charging of
the batteries. The devices feature 12 charging proles,
which allow battery-specic modication of the most
parameters.
A slot for retrottable, digital interface cards (USB,
RS232, CAN or Ethernet (LAN)) enables supervision or
remote control of the device, as well as modication of
the charging prole parameters by means of a PC.
Furthermore, the devices feature a power supply mode
where the output voltage and current becomes fully
adjustable.
The power output is short-circuit-proof and overload-
proof. For protection of the loads, the devices also
feature an overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit. At an
overtemperature (OT) event, the power output will be
switched off until the unit has cooled down and auto-
matically switch on again.
Visual check
After receipt, the unit has to be checked for signs of phy-
sical damage. If any damage is found, the unit may not
be operated. Also contact your dealer immediately.
Replacing the internal fuse
Applies to all models up to 640W:
The main fuse is located inside the device. Before ope-
ning the device, completely disconnect it from mains.
Working on the open device must only be done by
trained technical personnel which is instructed about
the dangers and safety regulations.
In order to replace the fuse, unscrew the front cover
plate and remove it precautiously. The fuse is located
on the main PCB, on the left-hand side.
Scope of delivery
1 x Battery charger unit
1 x Printed user manual
1 x Mains connector
1 x Temperature sensor LM335Z (10mV/K)
Installation
Mounting
The device is designed for wall mount. It is required to
mount it in a way that allows unimpeded air ow through
the ventilation slots. Take care for plenty of space (at
least 15cm) below and above the device in order to
ensure proper cooling. Models of housing type 2 (see
section „Technical specications“) are recommended
to leave a distance of 20cm for the extension cards, if
mounted side-by-side.
Mains connection
All models are equipped with an active PFC (power
factor correction) and a wide range input. It can be
operated at AC input voltages from 90V to 264V and
mains frequencies of 45Hz up to 65Hz.
The connection is done with the included 3pole plug
(Phoenix Combicon GMSTB 2,5/3-ST-7,62) according
to the print on the front plate. It must only be carried out
by trained technical personnel. Main focus lies on an
appropriate cross section of the mains lead, as well as
the fact that the device does not feature a power switch.
The mains input is fused by a standard 5x20mm fuse
which is located inside the unit (housing type 1) or on
the front (housing type 2).
Battery connection
The battery or batteries are connected to the designa-
ted terminal „Battery“ on the front.
The cross section AND the length of the charging cables
are very important for good results.
We recommend to use following cross sections:
Charging
current
Cable length
0 - 1.5m
Cable length
1.5 - 4m
0 - 20A 6mm² 10mm²
20 - 40A 16mm² 25mm²
40 - 60A 25mm² 35mm²
Cable lengths of more than 4m should be avoided or,
if not avoidable, compensated by even bigger cross
sections.
