General Information

1. General Information
1.1 Health & Safety
The information hereunder is supplied in accordance with Section 6 of the Health and
Safety at Work Act 1974 with respect to the duties of manufacturers, designers and
installers in providing health and safety information to Customers. The information
advises of reasonably foreseeable risks involved with the safe installation, commissioning,
operation, maintenance, dismantling, cleaning or repair of products supplied by Brush
Electrical Machines Ltd.
Every precaution should be taken to minimise risk. When acted upon, the following
precautions should considerably minimise the possibility of hazardous incidents.

1.2 Delivery Checks

Check for damage sustained during transport. Damage to packing cases must be
investigated in the presence of an Insurance Surveyor.

1.3 Installation
Where installation is made by engineers other than Brush Electrical Machines Ltd.
personnel, the equipment should be installed by suitably qualified personnel in accordance
with relevant legislation, regulations and accepted rules of the industry. In particular, the
recommendations contained in the regulations with regard to the earthing (grounding)
must be rigorously followed.

1.3.1 Electrical Installation

IMPROPER USE OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IS HAZARDOUS.
It is important to be aware that control unit terminals and components may
be live to line and supply voltages.
Before working on a device, switch off and isolate it and all other equipment within the
confines of the same control cubicle. Check that all earth connections are sound.
WARNING
Suitable signs should be prominently displayed, particularly on switches and isolators,
and the necessary precautions taken to ensure that power is not inadvertently switched
on to the equipment whist work is in progress, or is not yet completed.

Adjustment and fault finding on live equipment must be by qualified and authorised
personnel only, and should be in accordance with the following rules:
 Read the Instruction Manual.
 Use insulated meter probes.
 Use an insulated screwdriver for potentiometer adjustment where a knob is not
provided.
 Wear non-conducting footwear.
 Do not attempt to modify wiring.
 Replace all protective covers, guards, etc. on completion.

General Information

1.4 Operation & Maintenance

Engineers responsible for operation and maintenance of equipment should familiarise
themselves with the information contained in this manual and with the recommendations
given in associated documentation. They should be familiar also with the relevant
regulations in force.
 It is essential that all covers are in place and that all guards and/or safety fences
to protect any exposed surfaces and/or pits are fitted before the associated
machine is started.
 All adjustments to the associated machine must be carried out whilst the machine
is stationary and isolated from all electrical supplies. Replace all covers and/or
safety fences before restarting the machine.
 When maintenance is being carried out, suitable WARNING signs should be
prominently displayed and the necessary precautions taken to ensure power is
not inadvertently switched on to the equipment whilst work is in progress, or is
not yet complete.
 When power is restored to the equipment, personnel should not be allowed to
work on auxiliary circuits, eg. heaters, current transformers etc.
1.5 Protection and Monitoring Devices
WARNING
It is essential that any protection or monitoring device for use with generators or
ancillary equipment should be connected and operational at all times unless specifically
stated otherwise herein. It should not be assumed that all necessary protection and
monitoring devices are supplied as part of Brush Electrical Machines Ltd. scope of
supply.
Unless otherwise agreed, it is the responsibility of others to verify the correct operation
of all protection and monitoring equipment, whether supplied by Brush Electrical
Machines Ltd. or not. It is necessary to provide a secure environment that ensures
operator safety and limits potential damage to the generator and ancillary equipment. If
requested, Brush Electrical Machines Ltd. would be pleased to provide advice on any
specific protection application issues or concerns.

WARNING
Use of a protection or monitoring device in a way not specified by the manufacturer
could put operator safety at risk and cause damage to a generator and its ancillary
equipment. Brush Electrical Machines Ltd. does not accept liability for the consequences
of device usage that is not as recommended in this manual.

WARNING
The end-use system in which this product is to be used shall be equipped with a
disconnecting device that is capable of disconnecting all current-carrying conductors.

Introduction

3. Introduction
The unit comprises a single printed circuit board. It requires an auxiliary d.c. supply for
operation and an a.c. sensing signal. A relay is incorporated which is energised when the
voltage and frequency of the input signal are below pre-set levels. Above these levels, or
when the d.c. supply is disconnected, the relay is de-energised.

Specification

4. Specification
4.1 Input Sensing Signal
0 to 320 volts r.m.s. (6 VA at maximum volts).
Note
Required fuse: T 100 mA 440 V a.c. min.

4.2 DC Supply
Either:
125 volts +/- 20%, 100 mA maximum.
Note
Required fuse: T 100 mA 125 V d.c. min.

Or:
24 volts +/- 20%, 80 mA maximum.
Note
Required fuse: T 500 mA 24 V d.c. min.

Note: To make the unit suitable for the required auxiliary d.c. voltage, the correct
terminals must be used and Link 1 on the board must be set to the appropriate position.
(See the Connection Diagram, Figure 4).

WARNING
Supply wiring shall be suitably rated in accordance with the requirements of local wiring
regulations

WARNING
The unit must have an over-current protection device.

4.3 Operating Level

The relay is permanently energised when the signal is less than 1.5 volts r.m.s. or the
frequency is less than 2 Hz.
At input signal levels below 5 volts r.m.s. the operating frequency varies slightly with
voltage.
The typical operating frequency versus signal voltage is given in Figure 3).

4.4 Delay on Reset

There is a delay of approximately 10 seconds before the relay de-energises as the signal
increases from below to above the operating level.

Figure 4 Connection Diagram

1. Check that all earth connections are sound. An earth stud is provided for connection
of enclosure to earth.
2. Ensure that the unit has been wired in accordance with Figure 4.
WARNING
The 24 V input terminal shall not be connected when the 125 V input is used and vice
versa

3. Fit Link 1 to correspond with the appropriate d.c. supply voltage.

4. Switch on the d.c. supply and check voltage and polarity.
5. With the generator at standstill, the relay should be energised. Check that the relay
contact is closed between terminals 6 and 7, and that the contact is open between
terminals 6 and 8.
6. Start the machine and check that the relay de-energises in accordance with Typical
Operating Characteristic. Note: As the signal increases from below to above the
operating level, there is a delay of approximately 10 seconds before the relay de-
energises.
7. With the relay de-energised, check that the relay contact is open between terminals 6
and 7, and that the contact is closed between terminals 6 and 8.
8. When the machine is shutdown, check that the relay energises in accordance with
Figure 3.
