Model
BE3-49TH and BE3-49TL
INTRODUCTION
BE3 thermocouple temperature relays monitor remote
temperatures using thermocouple transducers. The relay
operates when the monitored temperature exceeds the
preset limit. The BE3-49TH provides overtemperature
protection and the BE3-49TL provides undertemperature
protection. Type J or K thermocouple inputs are available.
These inputs cover a wide range of temperatures.

OPERATION
BE3 thermocouple temperature relays have two user-
adjustable controls: SET and DELAY. The SET control
adjusts the relay trip point. The BE3-49TL trips when the
monitored temperature decreases below the SET threshold.
The undertemperature SET level is adjustable from 0 to
80% (
±3%) of the rated thermocouple temperature. The
BE3-49TH trips when the monitored temperature increases
above the SET threshold. The overtemperature SET level is
adjustable from 40 to 120% (
±3%) of the rated thermocouple
temperature. The DELAY control adjusts the time from when
a fault is detected until the output contacts change state.
The DELAY control is adjustable from 0 to 10 seconds. All
BE3 thermocouple temperature relays have a green
POWER LED to indicate the condition of the power supply.
A red RELAY LED indicates the state of the output relay.
Setting Example
A BE3-49TH rated for a J type thermocouple with a
maximum temperature of 185
°C has the following settings:
•
SET - 80%
•
DELAY - 5 s
An overtemperature condition is detected when the sensed
temperature increases to 148°C. The output trips 5 seconds
after the overtemperature condition is detected. If the
sensed temperature falls below 144.3°C (2% of nominal
fixed differential) before timeout, the relay resets.
INSTALLATION
BE3 thermocouple temperature relays are designed for
mounting on standard DIN rails that comply to DIN-EN
50022. Mounting involves hooking the top edge of the cutout
on the base of the case over one edge of the DIN rail. The
opposite side of the cutout containing the release clip is then
pushed over the opposite side of the DIN rail. To remove or
reposition the relay, lever the release clip and move the
relay as required. BE3 relays should be installed in a dry,
