Page 5: Wiring Installation Guidelines
WIRING INSTALLATION GUIDELEINES Danger: Never work on the engine while its power is on. This Battery Charge Monitor does not generate a warning signal prior to automatic engine start. Warning signs should be placed on engine equipment indicating this important safety measure. Following these instructions will help avoid common installation problems during wiring and setup. -
Page 6: Wiring Guidelines
WIRING GUIDELINES 1. DO NOT use wire smaller than 18 AWG. 2. DO NOT short Run output to ground, as this will cause 20A fuse to blow, and may cause damage to on board relay contacts. 3. Replace on board 20A fuse with similar type and rating (Replacement fuse to be Blade type MINI FUSE rated 20 Amps maximum). -
Page 7: Terminal Description
TERMINAL DESCRIPTION Term # Description 1 & 2 + Battery connection to BCM unit. This connection is fused through the on board 20 Amp replaceable fuse. This provides main power to operate BCM unit. 3 & 4 Battery ground connection for the controller module. A good ground connection, directly from the battery, is required for proper operation. -

Page 11: Adjustments And Setup Procedures
ADJUSTMENTS AND SETUP PROCEDURES Warning: The following procedures will require BCM operation. Be sure to follow all safety guidelines and wiring procedures. NOTE: “Potentiometer” is abbreviated as “pot” throughout. To increase a pot’s setting, turn it clockwise; to decrease it, counter-clockwise. These Pots are 25 turns nominal, therefore turn pots fully 25 turns to ensure that you are at either the minimum or maximum setting. -
Page 12: High Trip Set Point
2. HIGH SETPOINT CALIBRATION: The HIGH set point range spans from 10 – 15VDC. This set point is adjustable via an on board Pot. There is a red LED adjacent to the Pot (HIGH), which illuminates when the sense input voltage has gone above the HIGH set point. -
Page 13: Delay On Calibration
4. DELAY ON TIME CALIBRATION: The Delay ON timer provides an adjustable delay for activation of the Run output. i.e. if the sense input voltage drops below the LOW set point, the BCM delays the activation of the Run relay for the delay ON period. The Delay ON timer function is configurable from DIP switches 1, 2 &... -
Page 14: System Operating States
SYSTEM OPERATING STATES There are 3 main operating states for the Battery Charge Monitor, they are as follows: A. IDLE B. DELAY ON C. CHARGING IDLE: Idle state is assumed when the unit is powered-up (power applied to +Battery terminal), but not told to run (sense input has not gone below low voltage set point).
