ORION BCM
Stand-Alone Battery Charger Module with Integrated
Sounder Circuit
INSTALLATION MANUAL
OVERVIEW
The ORION BCM is a self contained EN54-4 certified Battery Charger Module with a Conventional Sounder circuit. It
also incorporates internal Alarm and Fault relays.
An internal monitoring system continuously checks all circuits, ensuring fault detection and notification, listed below:
● Sounder Circuit Integrity Fault
● Battery Charger Fault (voltage level and charging behaviour)
● Mains Fault (voltage level) and Earth Fault
● Output Supply ​ v oltage level
● General System Fault (by the means of independent watchdog system).
MAIN FEATURES
● Voltage-free inputs to activate built-in Relay for controlling Door Holders and Sounder Circuit
● One supervised Conventional Sounder Circuit
● Dedicated battery charger (Secondary Supply) for Sounder Circuit and Auxiliary Power
● Two relays output for Fault (NC) and Fire (SPDT) signal - unmonitored
● Supervised 24V Supply Output with 900 mA
● EN54-4 Compliant
ORION BCM LSC​ has the following local controls:
● Internal Buzzer Silence
● System Reset
● Lamp Test
● Sounders circuit ON/OFF operation
● Disable Auxiliary Outputs
● Disable Sounders
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
● This equipment must only be installed and maintained by a suitably qualified and technically competent person.
● This equipment must have an Earth Connection.
● A basic knowledge and training in the installation of Fire Detection systems is assumed.
● The Fire Detection system should be designed by a suitably qualified person with reference to the Local
Regulations and Guidance from the fire Officer where applicable.

  • Page 2: Cable Types

    MOUNTING PANEL The ORION BCM housing is designed for either surface or semi-recessed mounting. Cable entry points are provided at the top and back of the housing. Do not drill additional holes as cables could then interfere with the PCB or standby battery position.

  • Page 3: Connecting The Panel

    Wiring to the Mains supply should only be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person. Depending on ORION BCM load and standby requirements, to 12 Volt valve regulated lead acid batteries with the capacity up to 7Ah may be fitted in the housing. The batteries should be wired in series (24V) using the supplied link. Take care not to short circuit the battery terminals.

  • Page 4: Status Leds

    www.acornfiresecurity.com Check sounder wiring for continuity. Short or open circuit indications must be rectified before connecting to the control panel. All cable testing must be carried out with a Multimeter. WARNING: Do not use a Megger when devices are connected. Induced voltage higher than 1 Volt indicates possible cable problems or bad earth connection and must be rectified before connection.

    www.acornfiresecurity.com COMMISSIONING Preparation 1. Check sounder cables and ensure all field connections are made. Ensure that all EOL Resistor are fitted to the last sounder of each circuit 2. Connect sounder lines to panel 3. Remove the mains fuse 4. Connect mains supply according to local mains voltage ensure good earth connection 5.
  • Page 7 www.acornfiresecurity.com General Fault The General fault LED is illuminated whenever there is a fault on the system. It is always lit along with at least one other fault indicator which gives more detail relating to the fault. Power Supply Faults - Supply Fault Associated with a low voltage (below 20V) present at the input of the power supply or the removal of the main power supply.
  • Page 8 Example of application (Door Holder Supply/External Control) This implementation, working as a standalone PSU, has the ability to, by pressing the ORION BCM sounder activation key, activate Sounder circuit and manually release all door holder connected to the AUX PSU (in addition to the Addressable System activation using an IO module).
