Page 2: Technical Details
Technical details: Cell detection: NiCd and NiMh batteries automatically up to 14 cells, Li-Ion batteries automatically up to 7 cells, special types able to be programmed via update. Charge: Microprocessor-controlled electronic charge based on precise impedance measurement at the electrode-electrolyte transition. - Page 3 Thank you for choosing this Nordisch charging station, which is a highly developed charging device. Our customers’ requirements for protection against overheating, modularity, operation and service-friendliness have motivated us to develop the type BCS-5400 (m) + multiple charging system.
- Page 4 Special properties of the BCS-5400 (m) +: Independent of battery type (Li-Ion/lead acid/NiCd/NiMh, etc.) Precision: exact full charge possible. Long lifespan of battery combined with simultaneous fast charging Micro-computer controlled, automatic charging Independent of battery capacity and cell quantity No memory effect, no gases Micro-processor controlled charging Automatic battery and voltage detection Automatic transition to conservation mode (after full charging)

Page 5: First Steps
First steps: (1) Remove the device from the packaging and place it on a stable underlay. (2) Connect the device to a protective contact plug socket (a matching mains cable is provided in the packaging). (3) Slide the corresponding charging adapter and the required intermediate adapter as needed (accessory) into the charging slots (figure 1). - Page 6 Notice: If a charging adapter is not inserted correctly or is not inserted at all, activation will issue a signal (optically and acoustically) via the red LED. The red LED flashes until an adapter has been inserted correctly or until the parameter sets of the adapter have been imported for the charging circuit board.
- Page 7 Charging slot description: The charging slot is the receptacle for the charging adapter (types, see separate adapter list) and indicates all of the necessary information to the user for the respective device or the battery level in this slot. Battery technologies that can be charged.
- Page 8 Interface/rear side of device: The BCS 5400 (m) + has been future-proofed thanks to its freely programmable structure. Battery technologies that are not yet used and batteries that will be only be used years from now may be used by individually adjusting the parameter sets to suit future, unknown requirements.
- Page 9 Additional battery information: The design of a battery is different according to the manufacturer. Make sure that the battery you use matches the adapter mechanically matches the internal contact arrangement in the adapter It is possible that the battery in fact matches the shape of the adapter you wish to use, but the connection contacts inside the adapter still do not match those of the battery.
- Page 10 Charging: After you have slid the battery into the charging slot, the system checks the battery briefly, the green signal lamp goes out, and the red signal lamps start to glow. The automatic charging process has now started. During the charging process, the internal temperature of the battery is monitored continuously.
- Page 11 Notice: If you insert older batteries in this device (basically NiCd or NiMh) that were charged previously in a conventional charging device, these could nevertheless possess less capacity in spite of complete charging. This so-called “memory effect” results from the different charging processes. After charging this battery multiple times with the BCS-5400 (m), this effect should be completely corrected again (provided the battery is not yet damaged).
- Page 12 LED signal description: GREEN glowing the charging slot is ready GREEN flashing fully charged & conservation charge glowing BATTERY charging flashing ERROR MESSAGE (for details, see the error codes chapter) BLUE glowing NOTICE - battery cooling off Automatic charging only continues after cooling.
- Page 13 After removing the battery, the type of error is indicated to the user by an acoustic signal. The error codes indicated below describe the errors that occurred: (please also see: “Technical service information for software version XX”) The exact importance of the notice/warning message and the error codes are included with the respective testing documents for the device and correspond with the newest version.
- Page 14 Safety instructions/disposal: ● Note the voltage supply! The device may only be connected to the following alternating current mains: a) 230 V/50 Hz (EU version) or b) 110 V/50-60 Hz (US version) ● Only batteries marked NiCd (nickel cadmium), NiMh (nickel metal hydride), and Li or Li- Ion (lithium ions are charged with the adapters provided for this.
