Shut off all power going to header before attempting any wiring procedures.
Maintain a clean & safe environment when working in public areas.
Constantly be aware of pedestrian traffic around the door area.
Always stop pedestrian traffic through the doorway when performing tests that may result in unexpected reactions by the
door.
ESD (electrostatic discharge): Circuit boards are vulnerable to damage by electrostatic discharge. Before handling any board
ensure you dissipate your body’s ESD charge.
Always check placement of all wiring before powering up to ensure that moving door parts will not catch any wires and
cause damage to equipment.
Ensure compliance with all applicable safety standards (i.e. ANSI A156.10) upon completion of installation.
DO NOT attempt any internal repair of the components. All repairs and/or component replacements must be performed by
BEA, Inc. Unauthorized disassembly or repair:
1. May jeopardize personal safety and may expose one to the risk of electrical shock.
2. May adversely affect the safe and reliable performance of the product resulting in a voided warranty.
JUMPERS
PRECAUTIONS TO OBSERVE WHEN USING A ‘WET’ OUTPUT
Never change the jumper settings when the module has power connected to it or when a load is applied.
Never allow 2 different voltage sources to be connected to the load (electric strike for example) at the same
time. This can result in serious damage to equipment.
Always move both jumpers when changing a jumper set.
If an EL device is being powered by a separate power source, DO NOT select the ‘WET’ output option on the
Br3-X. If ‘WET’ is selected, the next activation of the module will send a voltage to the load and if there is
already a voltage being applied from another source, the Br3-X and possibly the load will be permanently
damaged.
When using the ‘WET’ output option on the Br3-X, set all desired switch positions (‘WET’ – ‘DRY’ and AC –
DC) before the module is powered and before any loads are applied.
When DC ‘WET’ output is selected, COM terminal is po) and the ground(-) is switched between NO and
NC.
Ensure there is no other voltage connected to the load. Whatever the Input voltage is at the Br3-X, the output
will correspond. The following can also be observed:
1. If voltage Input at the Br3-X is AC, then output selection can be AC or DC.
2. If voltage Input at the Br3-X is DC, then output selection can only be DC.
3. The maximum load applied to Relay 1 should never exceed 1A. If more than one device is to be
connected, add the consumption values together for a total value. If current is excessive, damage to
equipment can result.
4. On the Br3-X, the ‘WET’ output is only available at Relay 1.
When supplying Br3-X with AC input voltage and selecting Relay 1 output for ‘WET’ and DC OUTPUT
VOLTAGE, note that the resulting DC output will be the rectified AC input voltage and therefore, about 40%
higher than the AC input voltage (rms).
CAUTION:
Relay 1 ‘WET’ OPTION IS ACTIVE FOR ALL FUNCTIONS!

NOTES
:
1. “WET output” allows the Br3-X to supply a voltage output of up to 1 A on relay
1 for powering maglocks or electric strikes directly from the Br3-X. Rating of
power supply which powers the Br3-Xmust be at least 1 A.
2. Default jumper settings make relay 1 DRY.
3. AC voltage only available if Br3-Xis powered by AC voltage.
4. DC voltage available if Br3-Xis powered by AC or DC voltage.
