CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
869 MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 2–23
Contact Inputs
Depending on the order code, the 869 relay has a different number of contact inputs which
can be used to operate a variety of logic functions for circuit switching device control,
external trips, blocking of protection elements, etc. The relay has ‘contact inputs’ and
‘virtual inputs’ that are combined in a form of programmable logic to facilitate the
implementation of various schemes.
The voltage threshold at which the contact inputs detect a closed contact input is
pr
ogrammable as 17 V DC for 24 V sources, 33 V DC for 48 V sources, 84 V DC for 110 to
125 V sources, and 166 V DC for 250 V sources.
Wet or Dry input signal types can be connected to contact input terminals as shown in the
f
igure: Wet and Dry Contact Input Wiring Examples.
Dry inputs use an internal +24V that is supplied by the
869. The voltage threshold must be
set to 17V for the inputs to be recognized using the internal +24V.
FAST PATH:
The same type of input signal must be connected to all contact inputs on the same contact
input card.
