4.0 Operation
4.1 Charger
1. Connect a suitable main plug to the charger, the plug should be fitted with a fuse
of 1Amp or 3 Amp rating. Connect the Brown wire to the Live (L) terminal and
the Blue wire to the Neutral (N) terminal There is no connection to the Earth (E)
terminal.
2. The BCM as supplied may not be fully charged, it is recommended that the BCM
is charged for 24hours before initial use.
3. Connect the charger to the BCM. Check the orientation of the plug on the charger
as it will only connect one way.
4. Connect the charger to the mains supply, the Green led light in the centre of the
charger should illuminate, if not check the connection to the BCM and that the
mains power is on.
5. The normal time to re-charge the battery from flat is 14 hours, but it can be left on
charge for up to 48 hours without damage to the battery. The battery can be
topped up after use by giving a charge of 12 minutes for each hours use.

charger is turned off it will not discharge the BCM.

then from the BCM.
4.2 BCM Unit
1. Fit a pointed probe tip to the end of the instrument using a smear of Silicone
grease to help stop damage to the “O” ring seal. Use the spanner provided to make
sure that the probe tip is fully home.

the socket in the handle of the BCM. This switches the BCM on.

removed under water.

minutes.
