BE1-79A Controls and Indicators

STYLE CONFIGURATION SWITCHES 

Three switches on the left side of the relay cradle are used to configure the BE1-79A for either ACR11A 
or ACR11B operation. For simplicity, recloser styles ACR11B, ACR11C, ACR11D, ACR11E, and ACR11F 
will be referred to as ACR11B throughout this manual. Figure 2-2 illustrates the location of the style 
configuration switches. The BE1-79A is delivered with switches S1, S2, and S3 placed in the “A” position.

INSTANTANEOUS RECLOSE JUMPER SWITCH AND RS CONTACT SWITCH 

Two switches on the right side of the relay cradle select either internal or external jumpering for an 
instantaneous first reclosure and for selecting normally-closed or normally-open operation of the RS 
contact. Switch S4 is used to select internal or external jumpering and switch S5 is used to select 
normally-open or normally-closed operation of the RS contact. Figure 2-3 illustrates the location of 
switches S4 and S5. The BE1-79A is delivered with switch S4 placed in the “EXT” position and switch S5 
placed in the “NC” position.
