Description
The Battery Guard MOSFET BGM200 (hereafter referred to as the BGM) is an intelligent, user-programmable, fully waterproof battery guard.
The BGM has expansion options for an off switch and an alarm output to which a buzzer, LED strip or relay can be connected. To minimise
losses, the BGM is equipped with two bolt-on connections: input+ and output+. The remaining connections (neg, remote input, programmable
input and alarm output) are connected via separate 6.3 mm faston connectors. The BGM is equipped with a bright status LED which displays
how it is functioning. The BGM also features an "automatic board system detection", which enables it to automatically detect whether it is
connected to a 12 V or a 24 V system.
Installation
Install the BGM on a cooling metal surface to allow it to dissipate the heat it generates.
Use a power supply cable of up to 50 cm for the BGM. This is the only way to accurately
monitor the battery voltage.
Please note!
• The product may only be installed by qualified electricians who are fully aware of
the requirements for working with high battery voltages.
• The use of faulty connection material and/or excessively high gauge wiring may
damage the BGM.
• A short circuit between the battery's positive and negative terminals can cause
serious damage to the system.
• Always use the correct fuses.
• Use a 1.5 mm
2
cable directly from the battery to the BGM for the negative (–)
connection. Do not use this connection for anything else.
Operation
Input voltage protection
The input voltage protection values (undervoltage threshold, undervoltage reset, overvoltage threshold and overvoltage reset) can be set by the user. See
"Programming" for an explanation of how to set these values.
Undervoltage
When the BGM's input voltage drops below the undervoltage threshold for 15
seconds, the alarm output will turn on. The LED will also indicate
undervoltage. The BGM will shut down one minute later and the alarm output
and LED will turn off.
When the BGM's input voltage exceeds the reset threshold for 5 seconds, the
BGM will turn back on, and the LED will indicate that the BGM is active again.
Overcurrent protection
The current through the BGM is measured
constantly. If an excessive current flows
through the BGM for too long, the BGM will
shut down to prevent damage to both the
BGM and the connected equipment. The BGM
will turn on again after 1 minute.
Remote
A switch can be installed between the remote input and the negative (–) to manually disable the BGM output. The BGM will shut down immediately when
the connection is made. The BGM will turn on again when the connection is broken.
LED
The LED has two functions. The first is to indicate the BGM's status. The different options are outlined below. The second is to programme the BGM. This
operation is described in the section "Programming".
LED CODE
Two short blinks (± 0.15 sec.), then off for a long time (± 3.5 sec.).
One blink (± 0.5 sec.), then off (± 1.5 sec.).
One blink (± 1.0 sec.), then off (± 1.0 sec.).
Three short blinks (± 0.25 sec.), then off for a long time (± 2.5 sec.).
LED is off.

Temperature protection
The BGM will shut down immediately if its
temperature exceeds 85 °C. The LED will
indicate a fault. The BGM will turn on again
after 1 minute if the temperature has dropped
below 75 °C.
FAULT DESCRIPTION
BGM is enabled.
BGM is disabled because the remote has been activated.
Undervoltage or overvoltage detected.
BGM has been shut down for one minute due to one of the following causes:
Ground loss, temperature protection, current protection, low output voltage.
BGM has been shut down due to undervoltage.

Wiring diagram
Overvoltage
The BGM will shut down if the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage
threshold for 0.5 seconds. The alarm output will indicate (at a
frequency of 1 Hz) that overvoltage has been detected. The LED will
also display this information.
Ground Loss protection
The BGM will shut down
if it detects that the negative (–) is
disconnected on the power supply side. The
LED will indicate a fault. The BGM will turn on
again after 1 minute.
