BE1-11m Timekeeping
operating power is restored after an outage and the clock is re-synchronized the current year is restored.
When the clock rolls over to a new year, the year is automatically incremented in nonvolatile memory. An
alarm bit is included in the programmable alarm function for loss of IRIG signal. The alarm point monitors
for IRIG signal loss once a valid signal is detected at the IRIG port.
Connections
IRIG connections are located on a terminal block shared with the RS-485 and input power terminals.
Terminal designations and functions are shown in Table 51-1.

Backup Battery for the Real-Time Clock
The backup battery for the real time clock is a standard feature of the BE1-11m. A battery is used to
maintain clock function during loss of power supply voltage. In mobile substation and line-powered
applications, the voltage that supplies the BE1-11m power supply may be disconnected for extended
periods (weeks, months) between uses. Without battery backup for the real time clock, clock functions will
cease if battery input power is removed.
The backup battery has a life expectancy of greater than five years depending on conditions. After this
time, you should contact Basler Electric to order a new battery, Basler Electric P/N 38526.
