November 2002 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OF BASLER ELECTRIC COMPANY, HIGHLAND, IL. IT IS LOANED FOR CONFIDENTIAL USE, SUBJECT TO RETURN ON REQUEST, AND WITH THE MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WILL NOT BE USED IN ANY MANNER DETRIMENTAL TO THE INTEREST OF BASLER ELECTRIC COMPANY.
SECTION 1 • GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL The BE1-49 Temperature Relay is a solid-state device that monitors the temperature of a remotely located resistive temperature detector (RTD), and provides signals to the protective scheme when the sensed temperature goes above or below predetermined limits. A variety of output options provide a selection of latching or non- latching types of normally open or closed contacts.

Therefore, the target must be returned to its normal (black) position after an upper temperature indication is terminated by pushing up on the reset lever that extends through the lower left of the relay case front cover. BE1-49 Controls and Indicators...
Figure 3-1. Functional Block Diagram Power Supply Basler Electric enhanced the power supply design for unit case relays. The new design created three, wide- range power supplies that replace the six previous power supplies. Style number identifiers for these power supplies have not been changed so that customers may order the same style numbers that they ordered previously.
The output will then remain latched until the RTD temperature falls below its lower limit (as determined by the lower temperature comparator). BE1-49 Functional Description...
Refer to Figure 1-1 for a list of all of the available output options. Target Indicator An optional target indicator on the front panel is tripped and magnetically latched when the upper temperature limit is exceeded. It may be reset manually after the upper temperature limit output is de-energized. BE1-49 Functional Description...
If there is evident damage, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify the Regional Sales Office, or contact Customer Service at Basler Electric, Highland, Illinois. In the event the relay is not to be installed immediately, store the relay in its original shipping carton in a moisture and dust free environment.
If, however, relay pickup accuracy is suspect for any reason, remove the relay from service and check the temperature settings using the procedures given in Section 5 of this manual. D1427-01.VSD 12-04-01 Figure 4-1. S1 Case, Outline Dimensions, Front View BE1-49 Installation...

Step 1. Connect the relay as shown in Figure 5-1. Step 2. Set the LOWER TEMP LIMIT °C control to at least 10°C above the intended lower temperature limit trip point. Step 3. Set UPPER TEMP LIMIT °C control to 190. BE1-49 Operational Test...
Step 9. Slowly adjust LOWER TEMP LIMIT °C control counterclockwise until appropriate indication is observed. For option L, DS1 should go off; for option M, DS1 should go on. The lower temperature limit trip point is now selected. BE1-49 Operational Test...
The operational test procedure of Section 5 provides an adequate check to verify proper operation of the relay. If the relay fails to function properly, contact the Technical Support Services Department of Basler Electric for a return authorization number before returning the relay for service.
Style Chart by changing power supply type X from “230 Vac” to “240 Vac”. Added new power supply information to Section 3 in Power Supply paragraph starting with “Basler Electric enhanced the power supply design...”. Added new dimension figures to include all options available (S1 Single-Ended and Double-Ended, and both mounting positions).
