    Bare-Hand Live-Line Work Safety: BCM Series of Boom Current Monitors

    Uploaded by

    Rogério Paião
    The BCM-44 and BCM-44B are current monitors designed for bare-hand live-line work. They continuously monitor current between 1-400 microamperes and sound an alarm if the adjustable or preset threshold is exceeded. The monitors are rugged devices that can operate in varying weather conditions. The BCM-44B adds additional features including monitoring current for different circuits and detecting miswiring.

    BCM Series of Boom

    Current Monitors

    Bare-Hand Live-Line Work Safety

    Rugged, Dependable Design

    Automatic Safety Check for


    shorted or mis-wired test
    cables

    Models 44 and 44B

    The BCM-44 and BCM-44B are state of the art


    current monitors designed for continuous
    operation during bare-hand work. The BCM has
    an adjustable set point (5 presets also available
    on BCM-44B) between 1 and 400 microamperes
    AC or DC. A 90-dB horn sounds an audible
    warning if this current set point is ever exceeded
    during use.

    The BCM-44 and BCM-44B are extremely


    rugged and dependable current monitors.
    Designed for operation a variety of weather BCM 44B Installed on boom
    conditions, the BCM provides the security
    needed for bare-hand live-line work.

    VON BCM Specifications

    BCM 44 BCM 44-B


    Display Type 128 by 64 pixel wide temperature range LCD display. A microprocessor-controlled
    heater allows operation in extreme low temperatures.
    Ranges Low Range: 0-99 microamps A.C. or D.C. with .1 µA resolution.
    High Range: 0-500 microamps A.C. or D.C. with 1 µA resolution.
    Voltage Drop Less than 1 volt full scale
    Measurement System True RMS within 1% of full scale
    Preset Alarm Setpoint(s) Up to 6. Preset values are normally factory set to 27, 40, 66, 93, 133, and 289
    microamps. Other preset values are available by request. The presets can be changed in
    the field as desired.
    Adjustable Alarm Setpoint(s) Adjustable threshold can be set from 1 μA to full scale by a front panel mounted 10-
    turn control.
    Set point Accuracy Absolute
    Shorted Metering Circuit Monitor Continuous
    Metering Circuit Continuity Continuous
    Monitor
    Audible Alarm Internal 106DB multi-tone horn sounds when current exceeds setpoint, or when
    measuring lead is accidentally grounded.
    External Alerting Device A contact is provided to activate an external audible or visible alerting device. The
    output from this contact can provide either ground or switched input voltage.
    Power Requirements 12 or 24 volts D.C. negative ground. The monitor draws .04 amps steady state and .75
    amps with the horn sounding. The display heater can draw up to .75 amps additional in
    extremely cold weather. 24 volt D.C. negative ground current draw is about half of the
    12 volt current draw values.
    Enclosure Precision die-cast aluminum case
    4.72” (12cm) x 8.66” (22cm) x 3.14” (8cm) with external mounting brackets
    Weight 5 Lbs. (2.3kg)
    Environmental -20˚ to +140˚F (-30˚ to +60˚C) Sealed to IP67 equivalent
    Input for test UHF coaxial connector 7 pin Amphenol receptacle
    Input for Power Flange mounted 3 pin Amphenol Flange mounted 3 pin Amphenol
    receptacle receptacle
    Test Cable 25’ (7.6m) shielded coaxial cable 4’ (1.2m) shielded six conductor cable
    provided provided
    Power Cable 4’ (1.2m) three conductor cable provided

    Additional Features of the BCM 44B:


    1. Metering of test circuit for boom metering bands
    2. Metering of test circuit for hoses
    3. Metering of test circuit for leveling rods or fiber optics
    4. Total test including the sum of all three circuits
    5. Band mis-wiring detection during power-up test.
    Note: Daily use of this monitor does not eliminate the need to perform periodic over-voltage tests on aerial lift devices.
    The absolute minimum recommended over-voltage test should be a DC test of 2.1 times the line to ground exposure or
    an AC test of 1.5 times the line to ground exposure.
