Contact Inputs and Outputs
BE1-11t Transformer Protection Systems provide seven contact inputs, eight general-purpose contact
outputs, and one dedicated, fail-safe alarm contact output. Each input and output is isolated and
terminated at separate terminals. This section describes the function and setup of each input and output.
Contact-Sensing Inputs
Seven contact inputs are available to initiate BE1-11t protection system actions. Each isolated input
requires an external wetting voltage. The nominal voltage(s) of the external dc source(s) must fall within
the BE1-11t dc power supply input voltage range. To enhance user flexibility, the BE1-11t protection
system uses wide-range ac/dc power supplies that cover several common control voltage ratings. To
enhance flexibility, the input circuits are designed to respond to voltages at the lower end of the control
voltage range while not overheating at the high end of the control voltage range.
The contact input circuits are polarity sensitive. When an ac wetting voltage is applied, the input signal is
half-wave rectified by the opto-isolator diodes. The contact inputs drive BESTlogic
™Plus variables IN1,
IN2, IN3, IN4, IN5, IN6, and IN7. Each contact input is completely programmable so meaningful labels
can be assigned to each input and the logic-high and logic-low states. The
BESTlogicPlus chapter
provides more information about using contact inputs in your programmable logic scheme.
Contact-Sensing Input Jumpers
Note
The BE1-11t protection system is delivered with the jumpers in the
HIGH position. Read the following paragraphs before placing the BE1-
11t in service.
Energizing levels for the contact-sensing inputs are jumper selectable for a minimum of approximately 5
Vdc for 24 Vdc nominal sensing voltages, 26 Vdc for 48 Vdc nominal sensing voltages, or 69 Vdc for 125
Vdc nominal sensing voltages. See Table 4 for the contact-sensing turn-on voltages.

Each BE1-11t is delivered with the contact-sensing jumpers disconnected for operation in the higher end
of the control voltage range. If the contact-sensing inputs are to be operated at the lower end of the
control voltage range, the jumpers must be installed.
The following paragraphs describe how to locate and remove/change the contact-sensing input jumpers:
1. Remove the BE1-11t from service and de-energize it.
2. The contact-sensing input jumpers are located behind the rear terminal blocks that are used for
input connections. Using a 7/64” hex tool, remove the rear terminal block(s) associated with the
