2) MOUNTING

Make a hole with the dimensions of 92x92 mm in the panel plate.

Fasten firmly the unit by the fixing blocks included with each unit.

3) POWER SUPPLY

The T-154 unit has a universal power supply. It can be supplied with 24 to 240 Vac or dc
without respect to polarities.
The ground cable must be fixed to terminal # 41.

ATTENTION: the unit may be damaged by overvoltage when power is supplied directly
form the secondary of the transformer it is monitoring. This may occur when the 220V is
obtained directly from the secondary winding and there are fixed capacitors online.

4) ALARMS AND FAN CONTROL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Take the removable terminal board off the unit before wiring.
ALARM and TRIP relays energize only when the prefixed temperature limits are reached
(NO Fail Safe) or reset when the prefixed temperature limits are reached (Fail Safe).

In order to protect the electronic apparatus, we suggest the application of the elec-
tronic dischargers of the series PT-73 mono or double phase.
Alternatively, we suggest the application of a 24 Vac or better 24 Vdc power sup-
ply.

The FAULT relay always energizes when the apparatus is powered and it resets when the
Pt100’s are damaged or when there is no power voltage.
The FAN relay can be used for fan control or else it can be included in the conditioning cir-
cuit of the transformer box.

5) THERMOMETRIC SENSORS CONNECTION

Each Pt100 sensor has three conductors : one white and two red (CEI 75.8)
Fig.1 shows the disposition in the terminal board of the connection cables to the unit.
Channel 2 must be always referred to the central column of the transformer.
Channel 4 must be always referred to the core of the transformer or else to the ambient
Pt100 sensor, if you want to monitor the temperature of the transformer box through the
T-154 unit.

6) MEASURE SIGNALS TRANSPORT

All the transport cables of the Pt100 measure signals must absolutely:

• be divided from the power ones

• be realized with shielded cable with twisted conductors
• have a section of min 0.5 mm²
• be twisted if you have no shield
• be firmly fixed in the terminal board
• have tinned or silvered conductors

All units of the “T” series have the sensors linearization with a max error of 1% v.f.s..

It’s available a special cable for the measure signal transport with all the protection
requirements in accordance with CEI Norms: mod. CT-ES

7) THERMOMETRIC SENSORS DIAGNOSTIC

In the event one of the thermometric sensors installed on the machine to protect is dam-
aged, the FAULT relay energizes immediately, the ALARM and TRIP LED’s of the dam-
aged channel (Chn) lighten and the FAULT LED is lightening.
The screen will automatically display a message showing the fault condition:

• Fcc sensor is short circuited

• Foc sensor is open

During the unit normal operation, if the Fcd/YES function has been selected, the display
show Fcd indicating that a sensor is damaged and the LED corresponding to the affected
channel will lighten (Chn).
The FAULT relay energizes giving a signal to the operator.
After the replacement of the damaged sensor, you can RESET the alarm pushing RESET
until the display shows the message RST.

8) TEMPERATURES DIAGNOSTIC

When one of the thermometric sensors surveys a temperature exceeding by 1°C the alarm
limit, after 4 seconds the ALARM relay will energize and the ALARM LED of the affected
channel (Chn) will switch on.
The same occurs when the TRIP temperature limit is detected: the TRIP relay energizes
and the TRIP LED corresponding to the affected channel is lightening.
When the surveyed temperature declines of 1°C below the prefixed limit for the ALARM
and TRIP switching , the relays de-energize and the respective LED’s switch off.

9) COOLING-FAN CONTROL

The T-154 unit, if suitably programmed, can control the ON-OFF of the transformer fans
according to the set temperature values.
The fans of the machine can be controlled in two different ways:

• using the temperatures surveyed by the sensors on the three columns

Channel 1.2.3
ALARM and TRIP LED CH1.2.3 illuminated
(e.g. ON at 80°C - OFF at 70°C)

• by an additonal sensor (CH4/YES) for the ambient temperature inside the transformer
box.
CHF 4
ALARM e TRIP LED Ch4 illuminated
(e.g. ON at 40°C - OFF at 30°C)

Press UP or DOWN key to select this function.

10) FAN TEST

By programming (hxx) you can establish to have the fans set for 5 minutes every “xx”
hours, independently on columns or ambient temperature values.
This function has the purpose to verify periodically the fans working, when they are not in
use.
By setting h00 this functions is disabled.

11) DISPLAY MODE

By pressing DISPLAY MODE you can select one of the three display modes:

• AUTO : the display shows automatically the temperature of the hottest channel.
• MAN : each channel may be viewed manually by pressing the UP or DOWN key.
• T.MAX : the unit shows the max. temperature recorded by the sensors and any alarm
recorded after the last reset.

12) WORKING PROGRAM CONTROL

To review the entered values momentarily press PRG key and continue to do so advanc-
ing to each programmed value. Press ENT to return to normal operating mode.

13) LAMP TEST

It is advisable to carry out this test on a regular basis to ensure all lamps are functioning
normally. Pressing the TEST key at any time allows the user to test all lamps.

If any lamp is not functioning the unit must be returned for repair.

14) ALARM RELAYS TEST

All relays may be tested using the following procedure.

Press and hold the TEST key for 5 seconds. Initially all LED’s illuminate, changing to the
main screen display flashing TST.
Release the test key when the yellow relay test LED illuminates.
The screen display will show the relay selected for testing and the respective LED will be
illuminated.
The relays to test will be indicated on the display by:

• “Fan” :cooling relay

• “Flt” :Pt100 fault relay
• “Alr” :alarm relay
• “trP” :trip relay

Use the Scroll UP or DOWN keys to make the selection. Press the SET key to perform the
test on the selected relay. To reset press the RESET key.
To discontinue operation and revert to normal operation, press the TEST key.
At the start of the test, a timer is automatically initiated which reverts the unit to normal op-
eration if no inputs are detected for a period of five minutes.

15) ALARM RELAY EXCLUSION

The alarm relay will change contact state when the alarm set point temperature value is
reached. An illuminated alarm LED provides indication of the affected channel. To reset
the relay contact, press the RESET key. The alarm LED corresponding to the affected
channel will start flashing to indicate that an alarm temperature value has been reached. If
the set point alarm value is exceeded up to a value of 5 °C below the set trip threshold, the
alarm relay will change contact state again and the alarm LED will illuminate. Once again
press the RESET key to reset the relay contact. When the trip set point temperature value
is reached, the trip relay will change contact state and both the yellow alarm and the red
trip LED’s illuminate.

16) IMPORTANT NOTICE

Before conducting the insulation test, disconnect the power supply to the unit to avoid
damage.
