Product description
The BI/BCHP battery charger board may be used
to charge two 12 VDC 4500 mAh lead acid batteries
connected in series.
In the event of mains power loss, the battery charger
provides auxiliary power to the control unit (AG/
CTRL).
The battery kit, complete with the battery charger
board, wiring and two 12 Vdc, 4500 mAh batteries,
available for the BIONIK batteries is BI/BAT/KIT.

Electrical connections
With the unit disconnected from mains power:
• Remove the barrier (1) head. Lift the fairlead (2)
and remove the connector (3).
• Lift the central cover and the control unit (4).
• Insert the batteries inside their housing (5)
• Remove the Faston connector from the positive (+)
battery terminal.
• Connect the batteries to the control unit:
• Connect the red cable to the BATTERY (+) terminal
of the control unit.
• Connect the black cable to the BATTERY (-) terminal
of the control unit.
• Reconnect the Faston connector to the battery
terminal (+) of the battery.
• Insert the battery charger in the BATTERY CHARGER
(6) connector of the control unit.

Functioning
When mains power is available (green LED DL3 lit), the
circuit delivers a minimal current to the batteries to
keep them charged.
The yellow LED DL1 lights when the BI/BCHP is
charging the batteries.
N.B.: if charged batteries are disconnected briefly
and reconnected, the yellow LED DL1 may light
temporarily.
If there is no mains power (LED DL3 off) and the
battery voltage drops below the safety threshold,
the battery charger automatically disconnects the
batteries from the control unit.
N.B.: in the event of prolonged periods with no mains
power, we recommend disconnecting the positive
terminal (+) (red wire) from the battery circuit to
prevent battery damage.
The red LED DL2 lights to indicate a battery connection
error. As in this situation the circuit is disconnected by
the circuit breaker, it is imperative that the fault is
identified and the problem rectified immediately.
