Operation 1S27
Front Panel Layout Supervision Healthy LED’s
A front panel green LED is provided to indicate when the 1S27 is
powered up and all connected arc sensors are operating
correctly. Should any of the sensors become disconnected the
associated red supervision LED will be illuminated. Healthy
sensors will continue to operate normally.

Supervision Alarm Contact

The supervision alarm contact is picked-up when all monitored
circuits are in the HEALTHY condition. FAILURE of a supervision
circuit will cause the alarm contact to drop out to signal an alarm
condition.

1S30 Point Sensor
The 1S30 is an electrically wired point sensor suitable for
application in discrete compartments in metal clad switchgear
and cable ducts. When an arc is detected, the resistance
presented by the 1S30 drops to a level where the current flow
increases to approximately 20mA. This increased current flow is
instantaneously detected by the 1S27 & its trip output contacts
closed. Refer to the 1S30 Technical Bulletin for further details.

Wiring Notes
1. Relays are shown in the non-powered condition.
2. Note that the number of connected sensors per input must
correspond to the configuration setting to ensure correct sensor
supervision function.
3. The 1S27-B version must have a 1S40 linear sensor connected to
ensure correct supervision function.
4. Common terminal 9 and 13 must both be connected to ensure the
rated current carrying capacity of the trip contacts is maintained.

NOTE 1 The Delta relay will be supplied for mounting as per the order code selection above. However, the relay mounting
can be changed by the customer from DIN rail mount (Code A) to Panel Mount (Code B) or vice versa using the
TBD-AC Relay Mount Conversion Kit. This provides more flexibility for the customer to manage changes at site
without returning to the factory for modification. The front panel relay ID employs a # code in place of the
mounting configuration code to indicate that either mounting configuration is possible. For example, 1S27-A-G#
The mounting configuration code A or B is shown on the escutcheon moulding.
