The M‑2035 Interface Module monitors power supplies and battery chargers

used in Reclosers that have been retrofitted to operate with Beckwith

Electric’s M-7679 R-PAC system. This analog to digital interface measures

voltage, current, and current direction which can be monitored with the

same S-7600 IPScom communication software used with the recloser control.

The interface module can be DIN rail mounted during installation of the

M-7679 R-PAC and includes a SATA cable for easy hookup to the Aux I/O port

in the recloser control. The module will accept 8 to 30 Vdc power from the

existing power supply and batteries.

The module features essential indicator lights for battery and communication

status plus on‑board and remote manual wake-up pushbuttons to restore

function after a power failure. Four extra analog to digital inputs are available

for voltage measurements up to 30 Vdc. The module is able to periodically

test the batteries by briefly disconnecting the charger with a high side switch

and switching on a resistive load for five seconds.
