Analog Circuit Verification
Verification of relay analog measurement circuits can be accomplished in multiple ways and depends on
your preferences and practices. Either of the two following methods might be used.
Repeat the acceptance tests by injecting test quantities into the relay.
Use the relay metering functions to compare the relay's measurements with those made by
similar devices that are measuring the same signals. Redundant relays or metering devices
can provide this independent conformation of measured signals. If the relay is connected to
an integration system, this verification can even be automated and done on a
semi-continuous basis.
NOTE
If verifying the analog measurement circuits by comparison to independent devices is
used, you should ensure that the two devices use similar measurement algorithms. For
example, the measurements of a fundamental sensing relay cannot be compared with
the measurements of an RMS sensing device.
MAINTENANCE OF BACKUP BATTERY FOR REAL TIME CLOCK
The backup battery for the real time clock is an optional feature available in BE1 numeric products. A 3.6
V, 0.95Ah Lithium battery is used to maintain clock function during extended loss of power supply voltage
(over eight hours). In mobile substation and generator applications, the primary battery system that supplies
the relay power supply may be disconnected for extended periods (weeks, months) between uses. Without
battery backup for the real time clock, clock functions would cease after eight hours (capacitor backup).
The backup battery should be replaced after five years of operation. The recommended battery is a lithium
3.6V, 0.95Ah battery (Basler PN: 9 3187 00 012) (Applied Power PN: BM551902). Use the following
instructions to replace the battery:
To Replace Battery in H1 Case
Step 1 Remove the unit from the case.
Step 2 Disconnect the battery cable from the connector on the right side of the unit. See Figure 13-3.
Caution; Be sure that all static body charges are neutralized before touching the PC board.
Step 3 The battery is located on the left side of the case, See Figure 13-3. Using a 5/16" nut driver, remove
the nut holding the battery strap in place. Then remove the old battery, being careful not to hang
the leads on the PC board components. Consult your local ordinance for proper battery disposal.
