When using multiple frequency bands, the lower limit of the previous band becomes the upper limit for the next band, i.e., Low Band #2 is the upper limit for Band #3, and so forth. Frequency bands must be used in sequential order, 1 to 6. Band #1 must be enabled to use Bands #2–#6. If any band is disabled, all following bands are disabled.
When frequency is within an enabled band limit, accumulation time starts (there is an internal ten cycle delay prior to accumulation) and allows the underfrequency blade resonance to be established to avoid unnecessary accumulation of time. When duration is greater than set delay, the alarm asserts and a target log entry is made.
The pickup accuracy applies to 60 Hz models at a range of 57 to 63 Hz, and 50 Hz models at a range of 47 to 53 Hz. Beyond these ranges, the accuracy is 0.1 Hz.

The Breaker Monitor feature calculates an estimate of the per-phase wear on the breaker contacts by measuring and integrating the current (or current squared) through the breaker contacts as an arc.
The per-phase values are added to an accumulated total for each phase, and then compared to a user-pro-grammed threshold value. When the threshold is exceeded in any phase, the relay can set a programmable output contact.
The accumulated value for each phase can be displayed.
The Breaker Monitoring feature requires an initiating contact to begin accumulation, and the accumulation begins after the set time delay.

The AUX input is provided for monitoring the integrity of the trip circuit. This input can be used for nominal trip coil voltages of 24 V dc, 48 V dc, 125 V dc and 250 V dc.

An external Low Frequency Generator, Band Pass Filter and Current Transformer are required for this function. Figure 13, 64S Function Component Connection Diagram, illustrates a typical 100% Stator Ground Protection by Low Frequency Injection application. Hardware dimensional and mounting information is illustrated in Figures 14 and 15.
59D and 27TN function should be disabled when the 64S function is enabled. 59N may be applied when this func-tion is enabled.

DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE
– This sign warns that the area is connected to a dangerous high voltage, and youmust never touch it.
PERSONNEL SAFETY PRECAUTIONSThe following general rules and other specific warnings throughout the manual must be followed during application,test or repair of this equipment. Failure to do so will violate standards for safety in the design, manufacture, and intendeduse of the product. Qualified personnel should be the only ones who operate and maintain this equipment. BeckwithElectric Co., Inc. assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
– This sign means that you should refer to the corresponding section of the operation
manual for important information before proceeding.
Always Ground the Equipment
To avoid possible shock hazard, the chassis must be connected to an electrical ground. When servicingequipment in a test area, the Protective Earth Terminal must be attached to a separate ground securelyby use of a tool, since it is not grounded by external connectors.
Do NOT operate in an explosive environmentDo not operate this equipment in the presence of flammable or explosive gases or fumes. To do so wouldrisk a possible fire or explosion.
Keep away from live circuitsOperating personnel must not remove the cover or expose the printed circuit board while power is ap-plied. In no case may components be replaced with power applied. In some instances, dangerous volt-ages may exist even when power is disconnected. To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect power anddischarge circuits before working on the unit.
Exercise care during installation, operation, & maintenance proceduresThe equipment described in this manual contains voltages high enough to cause serious injury or death.Only qualified personnel should install, operate, test, and maintain this equipment. Be sure that all per-sonnel safety procedures are carefully followed. Exercise due care when operating or servicing alone.
Do not modify equipmentDo not perform any unauthorized modifications on this instrument. Return of the unit to a BeckwithElectric repair facility is preferred. If authorized modifications are to be attempted, be sure to followreplacement procedures carefully to assure that safety features are maintained.
PRODUCT CAUTIONSBefore attempting any test, calibration, or maintenance procedure, personnel must be completely familiarwith the particular circuitry of this unit, and have an adequate understanding of field effect devices. If acomponent is found to be defective, always follow replacement procedures carefully to that assure safetyfeatures are maintained. Always replace components with those of equal or better quality as shown in theParts List of the Instruction Book.
Avoid static chargeThis unit contains MOS circuitry, which can be damaged by improper test or rework procedures. Careshould be taken to avoid static charge on work surfaces and service personnel.
Use caution when measuring resistancesAny attempt to measure resistances between points on the printed circuit board, unless otherwise notedin the Instruction Book, is likely to cause damage to the unit.
