CONTACT OUTPUT H1
Upon startup of the relay, the main processor will determine from an assessment of the modules installed in the chassis
which contact outputs are available and present the settings for only these outputs.
An ID may be assigned to each contact output. The signal that can
OPERATE
a contact output may be any FlexLogic oper-
and (virtual output, element state, contact input, or virtual input). An additional FlexLogic operand may be used to
SEAL-IN
the relay. Any change of state of a contact output can be logged as an Event if programmed to do so.
In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact used to interrupt current
flow after the breaker has tripped, to prevent damage to the less robust initiating contact. This can be done by monitoring
an auxiliary contact on the breaker which opens when the breaker has tripped, but this scheme is subject to incorrect oper-
ation caused by differences in timing between breaker auxiliary contact change-of-state and interruption of current in the
trip circuit. The most dependable protection of the initiating contact is provided by directly measuring current in the tripping
circuit, and using this parameter to control resetting of the initiating relay. This scheme is often called
trip seal-in .
This can be realized in the T35 using the
CONT OP 1 ION
FlexLogic operand to seal-in the contact output as follows:
CONTACT OUTPUT H1 ID:
“Cont Op 1"
OUTPUT H1 OPERATE:
any suitable FlexLogic operand
OUTPUT H1 SEAL-IN:
“Cont Op 1 IOn”
CONTACT OUTPUT H1 EVENTS:
“Enabled”

The T35 latching output contacts are mechanically bi-stable and controlled by two separate (open and close) coils. As such
they retain their position even if the relay is not powered up. The relay recognizes all latching output contact cards and pop-
ulates the setting menu accordingly. On power up, the relay reads positions of the latching contacts from the hardware
before executing any other functions of the relay (such as protection and control features or FlexLogic).
The latching output modules, either as a part of the relay or as individual modules, are shipped from the factory with all
latching contacts opened. It is highly recommended to double-check the programming and positions of the latching con-
tacts when replacing a module.
