SECTION 2 

 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS 

INTRODUCTION 

All BE1-59N controls and indicators are located on the front panel. The controls and indicators are shown 
in Figure 2-1 and described in Table 2-1. Figure 2-1 illustrates a relay with the maximum number of 
controls and indicators. Your relay may not have all of the controls and indicators shown and described 
here.

Locator Description 

Overvoltage Pickup Adjustment.

 A multiturn potentiometer that sets the overvoltage 

comparator threshold voltage. Continuously adjustable over the range indicated by the 
style chart. 

Overvoltage Pickup LED.

 A red LED that illuminates when overvoltage exceeds the 

pickup setting. 

Overvoltage Time Dial.

 Pushbutton switch that selects the desired overvoltage output 

delay, either definite time (from 00.1 to 99.9 seconds) or, inverse time (characteristic 
curves 01 through 99). A setting of 00 is instantaneous in either case. 

Undervoltage Time Dial.

 Pushbutton switch that selects the desired overvoltage output 

delay, either definite time (from 00.1 to 99.9 seconds) or, inverse time (characteristic 
curves 01 through 99). A setting of 00 is instantaneous in either case.
