Molded Case Circuit Breakers
Series C
Breaker Interface Module (BIM)
The Breaker Interface Module
(BIM) is a panel mounted
user interface device that is
mounted on the front of an
electrical assembly or at a
remote location. The BIM is
used to access, configure,
test and display information
for OPTIM trip units and other
devices. The BIM consists of
four display windows, eight
function buttons, 18 LEDs,
and a graphical time/current
curve to provide breaker
status, operational
information, protection
status and energy monitoring.
A 24 Vdc power supply is
required to provide power
to the BIM. This is supplied
by the switchboard builder
to Eaton’s specifications.
The BIM is a member of
Eaton’s PowerNet family of
communicating devices that
connects OPTIM trip units,
Digitrip RMS 810/910 trip
units and energy sentinels
as a subnetwork system.
The BIM can also be
connected to a main
network via a PONI module
to PowerNet software.
Digitrip OPTIMizer
The Digitrip OPTIMizer is a
hand-held programmer that
is used to access, configure,
test and display information
from OPTIM trip units. The
OPTIMizer plugs into the
front of an OPTIM trip unit via
an eight-pin telephone jack
and is powered by a nine-volt
battery or the auxiliary power
module. One highlighted
feature is the “Copy” and
“Download” commands.
Setting up multiple OPTIM
trips can be finished in
minutes and with no errors.
An Auxiliary Power Module
connection provides a trip test
when control power is not
present at the breaker. The
OPTIMizer is supplied as a
standard package to include
the programmer, the eight-
pin connection cord, battery
and carrying case. The
auxiliary power module
is optional.
Auxiliary Power Module
The auxiliary power module
is a power supply requiring
120 Vac input at 50 or 60 Hz
that provides a 32 Vdc output.
The auxiliary power module
provides control power for
testing an OPTIM trip unit
when other means of control
power is not available or
for continuous OPTIMizer
operation versus temporary
with a battery. The auxiliary
power module connects
into the top of the Digitrip
OPTIMizer via a keyed
receptacle. The main
application for the auxiliary
power module would be for
the testing of a standalone
non-communicating OPTIM
breaker that ordinarily would
not have control power.
Cause of Trip Display/Remote
Mount Cause of Trip Display
The Cause of Trip Display
can be field-installed on any
Digitrip RMS 310+ trip unit.
The device provides breaker
information through an LCD
screen, such as cause of trip,
phrase current, ground current
and low loads. The display
is ideal for troubleshooting
common trips such as
ground fault, long delay, and
instantaneous/short delay.
The DIGIVIEW version will
provide a local display at the
breaker without additional
wiring by connecting directly
onto the trip unit. The
DIGIVIEWR06 version has a
6 foot cable that allows users
to mount the display on the
outside of an enclosure door
and connect to the trip unit
that is contained inside
the enclosure.
Cause of Trip LED Module
The Cause of Trip LED
Mo
dule can be field-installed
on any Digitrip RMS 310+ trip
unit. The device provides a
cause of trip indication via
LED. The Cause of Trip LED
Module connects directly
onto the trip unit. When the
breaker trips, the module
indicates the cause of trip
(long delay, short delay,
instantaneous and ground)
via LED indication. The
module is reset after the
breaker is reset.
Note: The OPTIMizer can work
off of 32 Vdc control power,
although 24 Vdc is the standard
on OPTIM breakers.
