INTRODUCTION

This unit is a fully EN54-4 compliant battery charger which also incorporates, in some models, a loop interface that can be
used with all of GFE's addressable panels. It will monitor all fault conditions including: charger fault, charger voltage level,
input voltage supply fault and supply removal. It can be supplied as a standalone module or boxed in an ABS plastic
enclosure, including a 28V DC @ 1.7 or 2.4 Amp PSU. The standalone unit has 10A current rating and is supplied complete
with heat dissipation.
Battery charge is fully monitored and current output controlled and limited to a maximum of 4 Amps. Two auxiliary output
relays are provided, both equipped with a set of changeover contacts. One is used to signal fault conditions. The Output
relay, which is only available for addressable versions, can be used when included in an IO Group.
