• Prevents unwanted activation of the M-7679 R-PAC’s Extended Inputs

by requiring 80–180 V dc to activate a contact on protected inputs.

• Portable and compact design, compatible with any recloser cabinet,

adapter kit, rack, or panel mounting installation in substation

environments.

• Engineered for quick and easy field installation in an M-7679 R-PAC,

reducing setup time and effort.

Introduction

The Digital Input Guard (B-2291) from Beckwith Electric is a field

-installable extended I/O voltage divider module designed to prevent

unwanted activation of the M-7679 R-PAC’s Extended Inputs.

On protected inputs, the Guard requires 80–180 V dc to activate a

contact, preventing false input triggers caused by EMI.

This product is available in three configurations to protect digital inputs

5–8. 9–12. or all (5–12). Compact and field-ready, the B-2291 integrates

easily with existing connections and requires no additional configuration.

The M-2406 is a direct retrofit chassis designed for a simple, quick

exchange in the existing control cabinet. The M-2406 contains all

necessary components to provide proper power and control for the

Eaton Cooper Nova Recloser. Power and control functions utilize the

existing wire harnesses. The M-2406 Adapter Chassis is mounted into

the Eaton Cooper Form 6 control location using the existing hardware.

The M-2406 includes an Analog to Digital Interface Module to provide

the following, via S-7600 IPScom communications software:

• Battery voltage monitor and power shutdown

• Battery charging mode monitor

• Battery load test (manual and automatic, based on schedule)

• Battery shut down and wake up

The M-2406 is available in two configurations:

• M-2406 for 14- and 19-pin reclosers,

• M-2406-26 for 26-pin reclosers.

Optional Intrusion Detection Kit B‑1929 (requires extended I/O)

The optional Intrusion Detection Kit can be added to the Cooper Form 6

enclosure to allow a DNP point (Input 10 Status) to be monitored via

SCADA. The kit is added to the enclosure using the existing mounting

studs, and requires no special modifications. The kit consists of two

Micro switches for the front and back door, two mounting brackets, four

connection wires, and all necessary hardware.

F6-P2B controls (serial numbers above 10.000 or beginning with

CP57) and Triple-Single controls for 26-pin reclosers.

Please contact Beckwith Electric for solutions to retrofit controls that

are not listed here.

The M‑2979 includes the capability to change out the Recloser Control

and Cabinet as one component. The M‑2979 Recloser Control Cabinet

and M‑7679 R‑PAC combination includes all the required interface

connections and external communications capabilities that are necessary

to replace an existing recloser control.

The M‑2979 Recloser Control Cabinet meets or exceeds NEMA 250. IEC

60529 and IEEE C37.60.

Each M‑2979 Recloser Cabinet can be configured with the optional support

equipment to match the existing recloser control application and environment,

or the cabinet can be supplied completely empty.
