    GEK-65512 receiving-end relays in the open position. An open pilot wire will result in the closure of the UC contacts and operation of the UC LED at both the sending and receiving ends. A shorted pilot wire, resulting in a significant increase in the monitoring current, will result in closure of the contacts of the overcurrent (OC) function and operation of the OC LED in the sending-end relay, and the closure of the UC function contacts at the receiving end.

  • Page 5: Ratings

    GEK-65512 An open pilot wire will result in undercurrent detection; a shorted pilot wire will result in overcurrent detection, and ground on either conductor of the pilot wire will result in ground detection. RATINGS TEMPERATURE These relays have been designed for continuous operation in ambient temperatures between -20oC and 55oC per ANSI Standard C37 .90-1978.

  • Page 10: Construction

    GEK-65512 The receiving-end relays (SPA 12A and SPA 128) must be set for a two-terminal application or a three-terminal application. This entails the positioning of a selector on the printed-circuit board. The target seal-in unit tap setting should satisfy the following two requirements : 1) the minimum trip-circuit current should be enough to operate the target seal-in (at least 150% of tap is recommended);...

  • Page 13: Visual Inspection

    GEK-65512 VISUAL INSPECTION Check the nameplate stamping to make sure that the model number and rating of the relay agree with the requisition. Check that the model number on the label in the back of the case agrees with the nameplate. Remove the relay from its case and check that there are no broken or cracked molded parts or other signs of physical damage, and that all screws are tight.

  • Page 14: 250 Dc Rating

    GEK-65512 250 DC Rating The 250 DC rating is accomplished with an external pre-regulator, 0138B7511G2 and G3. The pre-regulator is a DC-to-DC Convertor that reduces the 250 VDC station voltage to the 125 VDC rating of the SPA relay. Therefore, when this pre-regulator is used, the SPA relay DC pins on the 125 volt position.

  • Page 15: Receiving End

    GEK-65512 Connect a 24,000 ohm external resistor {rated 1/4 watt) between studs 7 and 8. Be sure that the DC voltage link above the target seal-in unit is in the proper position.Apply 75% of rated voltage to studs 4 {positive) {+) and 5 (negative) {-) and to studs 19 (positive) (+) and 20 (negative) (-).

  • Page 16: Hipot Tests

    While this method does not test the relay to its full dielectric rating, it will detect some cases of degraded insulation. TABLE IX CIRCUIT GROUPING FOR TRANSVERSE MODE HI POT TESTS TERMINALS OF CIRCUIT GROUPS RELAY SPA11A a. 4,5 b. 7, 8 c. 9, 10 d. 12, 13 e. 14, 15 f.

  • Page 17: Restoring Relay To Service

    GEK-65512 RESTORING RELAY TO SERVICE After the hipot testing is completed, the surge capacitors should be reconnected to the surge capacitor buses, the surge capacitor buses reconnected to studs 6 and 16, and all external wiring to terminals 6 and 16 (surge ground) should be reconnected. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Mount the relay vertically in a clean, dry and well lighted place to allow accessibility for cleaning, inspection and testing, and where it will not be subjected to excessive...

  • Page 18: Periodic Checks And Routine Maintenance

    GEK-65512 PERIODIC CHECKS AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGES MAY APPEAR ON PILOT WIRES UNEXPECTEDLY AT ANY TIME. USE APPROPRIATE CARE WHEN MAKING CONTACT WITH PILOT WIRES OR EQUIPMENT CONNECTED TO THEM The pilot wire protective equipment, if installed, is designed to limit the pilot-wire voltages to a level that will not damage the wires or equipment connected to them.

  • Page 19: Servicing

    GEK-65512 SERVICING CAUTION: ALL power from the relay before removing or inserting any of the printed-circuit boards. Failure to o bserve this caution may result in damage to and/or misoperation of the relay. Adjustment of telephone relays requires skill and experience for best results. The following guidelines may be of assistance.
  • Page 20 GEK-65512 CAUTION: Great care must be taken in replacing components on the cards. Special soldering equipment suitable for use on the delicate solid-state components must be used and, even then, care must be taken not to cause thermal damage to the components, and not to damage or bridge over the p rinted circuit buses.
