Brigade Interfaces

Overview

The Alarm Relay Card is typically used to provide a Brigade Interface. The default

 

configuration is for the three relays to operate on Fault (Trouble), Isolate (Supervisory)

 

and Alarm, respectively.

 

The connection drawings for the Centaur ASE, Western Australia AIU and Queensland

 

PPU are included in the appendix.

Format

 

These relays are normally de-energised and energise on the respective status. They have

 

voltage-free contacts that are connected to two terminals and can be configured as

 

normally open or normally closed by the positioning of links. Refer to Chapter 6 for

 

details.

 

If a normally energized relay is required to provide activation on complete loss of system

 

power (Standby), the Aux Relay on the SPS can be programmed as normally on and its

 

contacts connected in series/parallel with the contacts of the Fault (Trouble) relay as is

 

applicable (ie series for normally closed, parallel for normally open). Where the Brigade

 

interface is powered from the system power and monitored by the central station, this is

 

not typically required.

 

Note that the Aux relay programmed as normally energised, de-energising on Fault

 

cannot be used to replace the Fault relay on the Alarm Relay Card as the latter is link

 

connected to a hardware signal of “SPS CPU Fault”.

Applications

 

Standard rack mounting, 3U, Brigade Interface brackets are available as follows. FZ9028

 

includes the wiring loom. KT0199 requires KT0207 to provide the wiring loom with the

 

encapsulated Interface (FP0740).

 

Where there are space limitations, eg in the 18U cabinet, an A5 document holder

 

(KT0469) can be fitted to the 3U ASE Bracket, or the 3U AIU/PPU bracket. At 220mm

 

wide, this document holder is only half the width of the standard one that requires a whole

 

3U trim.

Connection for the ASE is shown in drawing 1963-62.

 

Connections for the AIU and PPU are shown in drawing 1901-267 sht2.

 

For the AIU (Western Australia) the links on the Alarm Relay Card are fitted for normally

 

open contacts. For the PPU (Queensland) and the ASE (most other territories) the links

 

are fitted for normally closed contacts.
