Merlin E475M-12V Owner's Manual
BATTERY BACKUP UNIT
Model E475M-12V
1. Installation instructions for mounting the BBU.
After the opener has been installed, position the BBU next
to the opener on a structural support (joist) within BBU’s
cord length.
Attach the BBU to the support by using the wall or ceiling
mount holes on either side of the BBU and the 1” (25mm)
screws (provided).
2. Connect the BBU to the Opener (MR850EVO).
Disconnect the opener from the electrical outlet.
Connect the BBU cord into the connector on the bottom of
the opener (see picture below). Connect the opener into
the electrical outlet.
Turn the power ON. After 2 seconds the Courtesy LEDs will
flash 5 times.
After 20 seconds, the green diagnostic LED (see picture next
page) will begin to flash indicating the BBU is charging.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Installation of the BBU when permanent
electrical power is not available (such as a new construction
and the electricity is not installed) may damage the battery.
Unplug the BBU after testing to prevent damage.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Test the installed BBU with the opener.
To test the BBU, disconnect the opener power cord from the
electrical power outlet.
A solid orange LED indicates the BBU is operating on battery
power.
A flashing orange LED indicates the BBU is operating on
battery power and that the battery charge is low.
To test the BBU is functioning properly, open and close the
garage door.
Re-connect the opener power cord back into the electrical
outlet.
Verify that the green LED is flashing on the opener (indicates
that the BBU is now charging).
Test completed.
2. Charge the battery.
Allow the battery 24 to 48 hours to fully charge before using
the BBU system.
A fully charged BBU supplies 12V DC to the opener for one
to two days of normal operation during an electrical power
outage. If the battery voltage drops too low, the battery will
disconnect and the opener will no longer operate under
battery power.
After the electrical power has been restored, the battery will
recharge within 48 hours. Under normal usage the battery
will last 3 to 5 years.
To obtain maximum battery life and prevent damage,
disconnect the battery backup when the opener is not in
use for an extended period of time.
NOTE: Door operation may be limited until the battery is fully
charged.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution, disconnect ALL electric and battery power
BEFORE performing ANY service or maintenance.

GREEN LED:
All systems are normal.
A solid LED light indicates the battery is fully charged.
A flashing LED indicates the battery is being charged.
NOTE: Battery does not have to be fully charged to
operate the motor unit.
ORANGE LED:
The motor unit has lost power and is operating off the
BBU.
A solid LED indicates the opener is activating the
door and is operating off the BBU.
A flashing LED indicates the battery is low.
Once the power is restored the BBU will recharge. This
is indicated by a flashing green LED.
RED LED:
An error has been detected and the BBU will automatically
shut off. The BBU will attempt to restart by reconnecting to
the battery. If the error is still present it will shut itself off
again. This process will repeat every 5 minutes or until
the error has been resolved. This is used to prevent
further draining of the battery.
If a red LED remains on when the power is restored
please call for service.
