TYPE AR HIGH SPEED AUXILIARY RELAY
HIGH THRESHOLD DESIGN
CAUTION: Before putting protective relays into
service, remove all blocking which may have been
inserted for the purpose of securing the parts
during shipment. Make sure that all moving parts
operate freely. Inspect the contacts to see that
they are clean and can close properly. Operate
the relay to check the settings and electrical con-
nections.
APPLICATION
. The high threshold AR relay is a sensitive high
speed auxiliary relay with 4 N.O. contacts de-
signed to be secure against misoperation due to
inadvertent grounding of a station battery or the
trip lead. With the battery balanced with respect
to ground, the maximum momentary voltage that
can be applied to an auxiliary relay for either of
these grounds is half battery voltage. The opera-
ting level of the high threshold AR exceeds thesse
levels.
CONSTRUCTION AND OPEPIATION
AR unlt
The relay consists of four stationary contact
screws, four leaf spring moving contacts, a moving
armature and card assembly, which operates the
moving contacts; a U shaped laminated core, a
coil, a frame, a molded insulation block and a
series resistor. Refer to Fig. 1 and 2. A zener
diQde is connected around the coil to eliminate
the generation of induced voltages upon interrup-
tion of the coil circuit.
The armature and card assembly slip over a
hinge pin which is inserted in the laminations.
All po.s.sible contingencies which may arise during lnslallallon, operation, or maintenance, and all
de(ail.s and variations of lhis equipment do not purport to be covered by these instructions. [f J`urlher

. OPERATION . MAINTENANCE
The moving and stationary contracts are mounted
on the molded insulation block. The molded
block and coil and lamination assembly are
mounted to the frame. All contracts are fine
silver.
When the coil and resistor are energized, the
armature is attracted to the laminations. The
card moves with the armature thereby operating
the moving contacts. The tension of the moving
contacts is the resetting force.
High speed operation is obtained by the lovy
inertia of the moving parts. a sensitive electro-
magnet, and the proper L/R ratio of the operating
circuit.
Operatlng lndlcator (a.I.) (When Supplled)
The dc operation indicator is a small clapper
type device. A magnetic armature is attracted to
the magnetic core upon energization of the switch.
During this operation two fingers on the armature
deflect a spring located on the front of the Switch,
which allows the operation indicator target to
drop.
The front spring, in addition to holding the
target, provides restraint for the armature and
thus controls the pickup value of the switch.

The front spring, in addition to holding the
target, provides restraint for the armature and
thus controls the pickup value of the switch.
lndlcat]ng Contactor Swltch unlt (ICS)
(When Supplled)
The indicating contactor switch (ICS) has
two taps that provide a pickup setting of 0.2 or
2 amperes. To change taps requires connecting
the lead located in front of the tap block to the
desired setting by means of a screw connection.
0.2 ampere tap - 6.5 ohms dc resistance
2.0 ampere tap -0.15 ohms dc resistance

CHARACTEHISTICS SETTINGS

The relay operates in 4 milliseconds for an AR Unlt

®-energy input of 10 watts. The reset time is typically
16 milliseconds. No settings are required.

The relay is adjusted to have a pickup value
less than 80% of rating, but not less than 50% of
the typie`al battery equalizing charge voltage. i.e.
minimum pickup is greater than
TABLE I
® MINIMulvI PICKUP VALUES
28 volts for 48 volt rating
70 volts for 125 volt rating
140 volts for 250 volt rating
The relay will drop out at 10% of rated voltage
or higher. The relay is only available in a 4 make
contact configuration. Typical effective contact
bounce is outlined in Table II.-Contact Bounce.
Operatlon lndlcators (01) (When Supplled)
The only setting required on the 01 is the se-
lection of the 0.2 or 2.0 ampere tap setting. This
selection is made by connecting the lead located
in front of the tap block to the desired setting by
means of the connecting screw.
Indlcatlng Contactor Swltch (lcs)
(When Supplled)
No setting is required on the ICS unit except
the selection of the 0.2 or 2.0 ampere tap setting.
This selection is made by comecting the lead
located in front of the tap block to the desired
setting by means of the connecting screw.
INSTALLATION

The relays should be mounted on switchboard

ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
The proper adjustments to insure correct
operation of this relay have been made at the
factory and should not require readjustment after
receipt by the customer. If the adjustments have
been changed or the relay taken aparrfor repairs,
the instructions below should be followed.
Acceptance Check
The following check is recommended to insure
that the relay is in proper working order. The
relay should pickup at 80% of rating and should
not pick up below values in Table I -Minimum
Pickup.
r` 1. Contact gaps
Normally open contacts should have a gap of
.018 to .023 inch.
® 2. Contact pressure
On relays with four normally open contacts,
contacts should have ap`proximately 5 grams
pressure on the card in the de-energized
position, and 15 to 30 grams contact pressure
in the energized position. Pressure readings
are taken at the end of the contact spring.
3. Armature gap
The armature gap should be approximately
.010 inches measured at the narrowest part of
the armature gap.
4. Contact operate time
4 milliseconds at.rated voltage.
5. Operation Indicator (0.I.) (When Sdpplied)
Close the main relay contacts and pass suf-
ficient dc current through the circuit to drop
the target of the 0.I. This value of current
should be not greater than the particular 0.I.
tap setting being used. The operation indicator
target should drop freely.
I.L. 41-759.3A
6. Indicating Contractor Switch (ICS)
(When Supplied)
Close the main relay contacts and pass sufficient
dc current through the trip circuit to close the
contacts of the ICS. This value of current
should be not greater than the particular ICS
tap setting being used. The operation indicator
target should drop freely.
The contact gap should be approximately
.047" between the bridging moving contact
and the stationary contacts. The bridging
moving contact should touch the stationary
contacts simultaneously.
CALIBRATION
Use the following procedure for calibrating
the relay if the relay has been taken apart for
repairs or the adjustments disturbed. This pro-
cedure should not t)e used until it is apparent that
the relay is not in proper working order. (See
"Acceptance Check.")
Trlpplng Relay (All)
The type AR tripping relay unit has been
properly adjusted at the factory to insure correct
operation, and under normal field conditions
should not require readjustment. If, however, the
adjustments are disturbed in error, or it becomes
necessary to replace some part, use the following
adjustment procedure. This procedure should
not be used until it is apparent that the relay is
not in proper working order.
a. Adjust the set screw at the rear of the top of
the frame to obtain a 0.010-inch gap at the
rear end of the armature air gap.
b. Adjust each contact sp.ring to obtain 5 gI.ams
reset. pressure at the very end of the spring.
This pressure should be sufficient to move the
spring away from the edge of the slot of the
card.

the relay and the. normally open contacts
should have 15 to 30 grams contact follow.

d. Apply rated voltage to the relay in line with
the terminal polarity designation. Then
calibrate by adjusting the spring tension until FIENEWAL PARTS
the relay picks up in the line with Table Ill-
