T500 ELITE SENSOR MONITOR
INTRODUCTION
The T500 ELITE is a microprocessor-controlled unit, which is able to accept signals from
temperature sensors or voltage free thermostat and relay contacts in groups of 1 to 4, and is
able to cause alarm and shutdown of a machine when alarm conditions are detected. The
control unit is housed in a self-contained wall-mounting enclosure. The temperature
sensors are separate items for mounting on bearings and the contact sensing may be any
voltage free contact device having either Normally Open or Normally Closed contact state.
The T500 ELITE will operate from 115v to 230v AC or from 12v to 24v DC.

1.3 Temperature NodeTN4e.
The TN4e is supplied either in an ABS housing complete with cable glands for use in
Europe or in a Crouse-Hinds type CU enclosure. The TN4e is equipped with a
microprocessor which will provide up to four scaled and linear temperature readings in the
range -23°F to +230°F ±2°F. The microprocessor design ensures a consistently reliable
performance. The T500 elite communicates with the TN4e using an industrial standard
RS485 communications system. The T500 also provides power for each of the 64 TN4e
through the communications cable. When operating with 64 TN4e connected the time
taken to update all of the 256 temperatures is approximately 8 seconds. An industrial
standard Belden or equivalent two twisted pair communications cable is used to connect
the T500 elite to the TN4e. This communications bus is referred to as HOTBUS 2. The
HOTBUS 2 uses one pair of cables to carry the communications signals and another pair to
carry the power supply. The cable includes an overall screen to provide signal protection.

1.4 Optional Relay Interface.

The optional R50016V345 relay interface unit is equipped with 16 alarm relays. Each
relay provides a single pole changeover contact rated 250V AC at 5Amp. The T500 can be
programmed to operate with up to 64 alarm relays with any number of sensors programmed
to operate any alarm relay. When a sensor exceeds its programmed alarm tolerance, the
relay associated with that sensor will operate.

Unit Address range - 0 – 7 (Factory Default = 0)
The T500 Elite software Version 3.x.x has been designed to support 4 R5004 relay
interface units. Together they provide a total of 64 alarm relays. Each relay interface is
fitted with a unit address selector switch. This switch allow up to 8 unit addresses although
only the first 4 are currently used. Address ‘0’ provides relays in the range of 1 to 16 and
address ‘1’ provides relays in the range 17 – 32, address ‘2’ provides relays in the range 33
– 48 and address ‘3’ provides relays in the range 49 - 64. The address must be set BEFORE
power is applied. The relay interface units are shipped from the factory set to address ‘0’.
If you intend to use 2, 3 or 4 relay units you must set each of the R500 interfaces to address
1, 2, or 3 accordingly. Additional relay interface units may be connected to the HOTBUS
communications network using the same unit address. This will duplicate exactly the
functions of the first unit. This can be useful when local and remote alarm indication may
be needed.
1.5 HOTBUS
HOTBUS is the term used to refer to the communications system used with the T500 elite
and the sensor network. This network is an active communications system and as such is
not restricted to monitoring temperatures. Other HOTBUS sensors will become available
in the future and can be mixed freely on the HOTBUS system.
2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 The Control Unit
The Control Unit box should be installed in a suitable control or starter switch room and
mounted at an eye level position so that the warning lights and display can be readily seen.
The box should have sufficient space to open the lid for wiring. An audible alarm, hooter
or visual indicator lamp can be installed in or outside of the control room.
L
The Control Unit is susceptible to static voltage. Connection of a
clean ground to terminal 29 is essential for optimum performance.
Prior to this connection, static handling precautions should be
ATIENTION taken.
2.2 Bearing Temperature Sensors (Grease through type)

The temperature sensors are screwed into the grease holes of the bearings for the elevator
leg head pulley, boot pulley and jockey pulley, where fitted or the bearings for conveyor
rollers. Each sensor has a greasing by-pass and is installed in the bearing as Drawing ‘C’.
3 ELECTRICAL WIRING
Refer to Drawings A & B
Mount the TN4e housing within 3 meters of the sensors. Connect the sensor cables to the
TN4e box SENSOR 1, SENSOR 2, SENSOR 3 and SENSOR 4 inputs using the provided
sealing glands and protect the cable from damage. If flexible conduit is to be used ensure
the correct glands are also used. Connect the communications/power cable to the TN4e box
via the remaining 9-way plug connector. The cable is intended to be daisy chain connected
as described in Drawing ‘D’.
Any Sensor inputs which are unused may be left unconnected but attention must be
paid to ensure that the procedures set out on page 19, items 10 to 12 are carried out.
When installing the equipment in an area which is likely to be hazardous from Ignitable
Dusts, use liquid tight conduit and fittings and follow all local codes.
4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The T500 elite is equipped with 5 programming keys. These are soft keys and change their
function according to the operation required at the time. When entering a numeric value,
the following format has been adopted.
UP (S) key will increase the selected number.

DOWN (T) key will decrease the selected number.
LEFT (W) will move the flashing cursor one digit to the left
RIGHT (X) will move the flashing cursor one digit to the right
SET will accept the number on the screen and move to the next entry.
If the flashing cursor is placed on a digit using the (W) or (X) keys then the number will be
increased or decreased by an appropriate amount.
For example:
If the display shows 0000 then pressing (S) will increase the number by 1
The (T) key operates in exactly the same way except that it will decrease the number by
the same amount. Each number has a programmed range and will not allow numbers
outside of that range. If you press and hold the (S) or (T) key for greater than 2 seconds,
then the numbers will increase or decrease at a faster rate. Due to a low software priority
the key repeat rate will vary, this is normal and should not be a cause for concern. When
you are satisfied that the number being displayed is correct, press the SET key to save this
number and move on to the next entry.
At other times the keys will have different functions. Please refer to those functions in
order to determine the key use.
WARNING: If you are in a menu or edit mode and do not press a key for 1 minute,
the edit menu will close and any data entered will be lost.
The TEST function
When the T500 is powered up a greetings message is
** T500 ELITE **
displayed and it automatically enters a self-test mode. All © 2002-2007
of the internal functions are examined and if no errors are DON ELECTRONICS
detected the software continues into normal operation. In ** VERSION 3.0.0 **
the event of failure, please contact the factory.
4.1 Initial Setting up

When power is first applied to the T500 the software checks
WARNING
for the existence of set-up information. If this is not present
No Configured
then it is assumed that the T500 is being set-up for the first sensors, press SET
time. The warning message opposite will be displayed and to begin
the alarm LED will flash.
The T500 will not continue until the SET button is pressed. - NODE SETUP -
At this point the LCD display will change to the T500 setup NODE Number 1
screen. This option can be accessed at any time once the NODE Address = 0000
initial setup has been performed.
The T500 has been designed to work with the TN4e temperature sensor node. Although
the TN4e has been specifically designed to work with NTC type temperature sensors, it
will also work with PTC temperature sensors and thermostatic switches. The switch input
is intended to work with voltage free contacts either normally open or normally closed in
operation and therefore is not restricted to temperature applications and can be used with
other sensors, such as the TS1V4CA TouchSwitch or signal relays. NTC type temperature
sensors are designed to provide a continuously variable temperature indication. PTC
temperature sensors are designed to provide a fixed temperature trip point for temperature
monitoring and the contact sensing provides programmable contact change detection from
a thermostat or other contact device. Below is an example of the setup procedure for each
type of sensor.
4.1.1 HOTBUS Node number.

The T500 elite is capable of being connected to 64 TN4e Nodes and therefore it is essential
to determine which of the 64 nodes the information is referring to. Each TN4e node is
manufactured with a unique serial number. The last four digits of the serial number are the
address of the node. If 683/1023 is the serial number then 1023 is the node address. As
each node supports 4 sensors it is important to carefully record which is sensor 1, 2, 3 and
which is sensor 4. Before attempting to setup the T500 elite you should plan your sensor
network and record the following for later use. Note that all sensors connected to the node
can be of different types, see page 13
Node Address: e.g. 1023

Sensor types for the node: NTC, PTC, or CNT (Contact)
The names for sensors 1-4 (20 characters maximum, see sensor name editing on page 16)
4.1.2 Node Setup.
When entering the NODE SETUP mode either for the first
- NODE SETUP -
time or when editing, the following screen will appear. The NODE Number 1
first line shows you that you are in the MODE SETUP. NODE Address = 0000
The second line displays the names of the chosen node

(Node 1 by default) and the third line shows the address of the node. The display cursor
should be placed to the left of the words ‘NODE Number 1’. At this part of the setup
procedure, you can use the UP (S) and DOWN (T) keys to move your way through the
list of 64 nodes. Un-programmed nodes will by default display with a node address of
0000. When you have selected the node you wish to edit, press the SET key.
The cursor will now move to the address portion of the node
details. You can now use the UP (S), DOWN (T), LEFT - NODE SETUP -
NODE Number 1
(W) or RIGHT (X) keys to edit the node address. When you NODE Address = 1234
are satisfied that the number being displayed is correct,
press the SET key to save this number and move on to the
next entry.
The T500 then displays the details associated with each of the 4 sensors that make up the
TN4e. Using the (S) and (T) you must first select which of the 4 sensors you want to edit.
If this is the first time you have edited this node then all the
Sensor Number 1
sensors will be NTC type otherwise the information for TYPE= NTC : Relay 00
each sensor will be displayed in turn as you scroll through RELATIVE ALARM 30
the four sensors. In order to help you identify the sensor ABSOLUTE ALARM 176
more clearly, each sensor has a unique name. The default Sensor Number 2
names for the first 4 sensors (Node 1) is “Sensor Number TYPE= NTC : Relay 00
1..4” and the second set of 4 sensors (Node 2) is “Sensor RELATIVE ALARM 30
Number 5..8” and so on until the sensors for node 64 which ABSOLUTE ALARM 176
are “Sensor Number 253..256”. Later we will examine a Sensor Number 3
method by which the sensor names may be changed but for TYPE= NTC : Relay 00
now we will assume that we are using the default sensor RELATIVE ALARM 30
names. ABSOLUTE ALARM 176
Once you have decided which of the 4 sensors you wish to edit press the SET key. The
cursor will now move onto the sensor type (NTC in our
example opposite). You can change this option as much as Sensor Number 4
you wish by pressing the (S) and (T) keys. As you change TYPE= NTC : Relay 00
RELATIVE ALARM 30
the sensor type the information on the display will change to ABSOLUTE ALARM 176
reflect the requirements of each sensor type. Once you have
decided on the sensor type press the SET key to move on to the entry detail for that specific
sensor.
4.1.3 Setup for NTC sensors.

If you selected to use the NTC type of sensor then the setup screen should look like it does
on the right. The top line shows the name of the sensor, the
second line shows the chosen sensor type and the alarm Sensor Number 4
TYPE= NTC : Relay 00
relay number. The third line shows the relative temperature RELATIVE ALARM 30
alarm level and the fourth line shows the absolute ABSOLUTE ALARM 176
temperature alarm level.
The flashing cursor will be placed on the High Temperature
Alarm relay. If setting up for the first time then the value Sensor Number 4
will be 00 otherwise it will display the value set previously. RELATIVE ALARM 30
The T500 is equipped with an internal alarm warning relay. ABSOLUTE ALARM 176
Any alarm condition will result in this relay operating. The
T500 can also have 4 R500 elite relay interface units connected to it. Each R500 is
equipped with 16 interface relays providing a maximum of 64 relays all of which can be
utilised as part of the temperature monitoring system. If the High Temperature Relay is set
to 00 then only the internal warning relay will operate, however, if you set the relay to a
number between 1 and 64, then the associated R500 alarm zone relay will also operate.
You can adjust the number of the relay by using the keyboard as described on page 7.
When you have entered your chosen relay number press SET to continue.
The cursor will now move down to the ‘Relative Alarm 30’ prompt. The relative
temperature alarm provides the ability to set an alarm level which is relative to the ambient
temperature of the system. This provides a close
temperature control for the T500 Elite. If the current Sensor Number 4
ambient temperature is 70°F then setting the relative TYPE= NTC : Relay 00
temperature for sensor 1 to 30°F will result in the alarm RELATIVE ALARM 30
ABSOLUTE ALARM 176
level of 70°F+30°F = 100°F. If the ambient temperature
was to rise to 80°F then the relative temperature alarm
would be 80°F+30°F = 110°F in other words the actual alarm is always 30°F above the
current ambient. Setting the relative alarm value to 0°F results is the close temperature
controls being disabled. A maximum relative temperature alarm limit of 90°F (above
ambient) is applied to this feature. The factory default level is 30°F. This alarm type only
applies to the NTC sensors. The ambient temperature is measuring by a separate NTC
temperature sensors located on the TN4(e) node circuit board and applied specifically to
the 4 sensors associated with the node. When you have completed your entry, press SET to
continue
The cursor will now move down to the ‘Absolute Alarm nnn’ prompt. If setting up for the
first time then the value will be 176°F otherwise the value will be as previously set. This
provides an adjustable absolute alarm level for the sensor
and can be adjusted between 000°F and 230°F. When the Sensor Number 4
measured temperature exceeds this setting, the T500 will RELATIVE ALARM 30
generate an alarm in accordance with the relay settings ABSOLUTE ALARM 176
above. This alarm operates independently of the relative
alarm setting and has no relationship with the ambient temperature. It is provided for use
when the ambient temperature measurement can not be relied upon or when you require a
second and secure alarm. If the ambient sensing system is not set or has failed to operate
correctly, then the absolute alarm will protect the system against high temperatures. If a
Relative alarm was set to 30°F above ambient and the Absolute alarm was set to 150°F,
then the alarm will operate when the measured temperature exceeds 150°F irrespective of
the Relative alarm settings. The factory default level is 176°F. When you have entered
your chosen Absolute alarm level, press SET to continue.
Pressing the SET button completes the entry page but we

you have a number of choices that you can make. Pressing
the LEFT (W) key saves the new information and returns you back to select a new node.
Pressing the RIGHT (X) key saves the information and returns you back to the sensor edit
screen and the SET key just exits the setup mode saving any changes.
Once you have pressed the (W), (X) or SET key, the information is saved in permanent
memory so that the next time the T500 is powered up, these settings will automatically
come into effect.
WARNING: If you do not press a key for 1 minute, the edit menu will close and any
data entered will be lost.
4.1.4 Setup for PTC sensors.

If you selected to edit the PTC type of sensor then the screen should look like it does on the
right. The top line shows name of the sensor. The second
Sensor Number 16
line shows the chosen sensor type and the alarm relay TYPE= PTC : Relay 00
number. The third and fourth line is blank. PTC sensors do
not require an alarm temperature as they are designed to
work at fixed alarm temperatures (see page 13).
The flashing cursor will be placed on the chosen alarm relay. If setting up for the first time
then the value will be 00 otherwise the value will be what was set previously. The T500 is
equipped with an internal alarm warning relay. Any alarm condition will result in this
relay operating. The T500 can also have 4 R500 elite relay Sensor Number 16
interface units connected to it. Each R500 is equipped with TYPE= PTC : Relay 31
16 interface relays providing a maximum of 64 relays all of
which can be utilised as part of the temperature monitoring
system. If the High Temperature Relay is set to 00 then
only the internal warning relay will operate, however, if you set the relay to a number
between 1 and 64, then the associated R500 alarm relay will also operate. You can adjust
the number of the relay by using the keyboard as described on page 7. When you have
entered your chosen relay number press SET to continue.
Pressing the SET button completes the entry page but we

come into effect.
4.1.5 Setup for CNT (contact) sensing.
If you selected to edit the CNT type of sensor then the
Sensor Number 16
screen should look like it does on the right. The top line TYPE= CNT : Relay 00
shows the sensor name. The second line shows the chosen ALARM WHEN ON
sensor type and the alarm relay number. The third line
shows the current alarm condition for the contact.
The flashing cursor will be placed on the chosen alarm relay. If setting up for the first time
then the value will be 00 otherwise the value will be what was set previously. The T500 is
equipped with an internal alarm warning relay. Any alarm condition will result in this
relay operating. The T500 can also have 4 R500 elite relay interface units connected to it.
Each R500 is equipped with 16 interface relays providing a Sensor Number 16
maximum of 64 relays all of which can be utilised as part of TYPE= CNT : Relay 22
the temperature monitoring system. If the High ALARM WHEN ON
Temperature Relay is set to 00 then only the internal
warning relay will operate, however, if you set the relay to a number between 1 and 64,
then the associated R500 alarm relay will also operate. You can adjust the number of the
relay by using the keyboard as described on page 7. When you have entered your chosen
relay number press SET to continue.
Because contact conditions can be applied in one of two known states the ‘ALARM
WHEN’ condition can be toggled to either ‘OFF’ or ‘ON’ Sensor Number 16
by using the UP (S) or DOWN (T) keys. This means that TYPE= CNT : Relay 22
if your contact is normally ‘ON’, you might want to alarm ALARM WHEN ON
when it changes to ‘OFF’ or if it is normally ‘OFF’ you
might want to alarm when it changes to ‘ON’. This state can be set individually for each of
the contact inputs.
Pressing the SET button completes the entry page but we sometimes make mistakes during
entry of data or we need to edit more than one entry before moving on to do other things.
Before the new information is finally saved for use you have a number of choices that you

WARNING: If you do not press a key for 1 minute, the edit menu will close and any
data entered will be lost.
4.1.6 Sensor Network Design.
The HotBus2 sensor monitoring system based upon the T500 has been designed to offer
simplicity and flexibility. You can mix the TN4e node installation as freely as you like. It
is not necessary to use consecutively numbered TN4e for the system to work. Neither is it
necessary to assign the nodes to any logical sequence. If you leave holes in the setup
information, for example if you only have three nodes you might assign them like this -
Node 1 is address 1000, Node 3 is address 1097 and node 23 is address 1023 then the
missing or blank entries are ignored and have no effect on the operation of the T500. It is
however, strongly recommended that you consider assigning the Node numbers
consecutively 01 – 64 as this makes monitoring the temperatures easier and entering useful
and meaningful sensor name is easier. You may find it useful to leave small gaps in the
system especially if you intend to add extra TN4e nodes at a later date; however, there is no
association between the physical placement of the nodes and the order of programming in
the T500 so you are free to place the nodes in any order. Experience has shown that you
will benefit greatly by planning the system with some thought to how you intend to use the
information. A common format for use is to assign each node to a section or area to be
monitored and assign the sensors according the needs of that area, adding more nodes if
necessary.
4.1.7 Alarm zoning.

Each TN4e node can read the state of 4 independent sensors. These sensors can be
associated with an alarm relay. Alarm relay 00 (default) is the built in warning relay and
operates for all alarm conditions. If the optional relay interfaces are fitted (R50016V345)
then up to a further 64 alarm channels are available for the user. Setting the relay number
for any of the sensors to between 01 and 64 will associate the alarm relay 01 to 64 to that
sensor. Any number of sensors can be associated with an alarm relay. For example:
Node 1001 Sensor 1 = 00 T500 alarm warning relay only. (WR)

Sensor 2 = 04 Optional alarm relay 4 + (WR)
Node 1003 Sensor 1 = 01 Optional alarm relay 1 + (WR)

It can be seen from the examples above that a number of sensors can be zoned together,
Node 1001 Sensor 3, Node 1003 Sensor 1 are both associated with alarm relay 1. Any one
or both of these sensors, which exceed the programmed limits, will operate relay 1 of the
R500 relay interface. Any alarm will always trigger the internal alarm relay of the T500
elite. Any number of sensors can be associated with an alarm relay in this way.

4.2 Normal Operation.
Once the initial setup has been performed and at least 1 Sensor Number 1
Temperature = 082°F
TN4e has been connected to the system then the T500 will Amb 070°F :Relay 10
enter the normal monitoring mode. During normal Rel 30: Abs 150: NTC
operation, the T500 will continuously scan all of the
programmed sensors and respond to their programmed Sensor Number 2
Temperature = 080°F
alarm settings. This mode displays the status of a single Amb 070°F :Relay 10
sensor connected to the T500. The actual sensor being Rel 30: Abs 150: NTC
displayed can be selected by using the Up(S) and
Sensor Number 3
Down(T) arrow keys. During the normal sensor display Contact State = OFF
the software is capable of showing any one of the 256 Alarm = ON :Relay 11
sensors, which may be available. As each TN4e node has 4 Sensor Type = CNT
sensors connected to it, the display shows consecutively
Sensor Number 4
connected sensors. For example if you were to connect Contact State = OFF
three nodes 1,2 and 3 to the T500 then the display will show Alarm = ON :Relay 12
the settings for sensors 1 to 12. If a sensor is connected and Sensor Type = CNT
working correctly then its actual state will be displayed in Sensor Number 5
either °C or °F if the sensor is an NTC type, NORMAL or Temperature = NORMAL
HIGH if the sensor is a PTC type and ON or OFF if the Alarm Relay = 27
sensor is a CNT type. If a node is not programmed (see the Sensor Type = PTC
section on setting up the T500) then the display will show Sensor Number 6
<-> as the current sensor value (including <-> ambient if the Temperature = NORMAL
sensor is an NTC type). All 256 sensors can be displayed in Alarm Relay = 27
this manner. As you scroll up or down through the sensors, Sensor Type = PTC
the alarm zone number and alarm trip level or alarm Sensor Number 200
condition associated with each sensor will update Temperature = <->°F
automatically on the screen. Although no restrictions are Amb <->°F :Relay 00
placed upon the order of programming for the nodes, it can Rel 30: Abs 176: NTC
bee seen that it is to your advantage to programme them in a logical order. Three nodes
programmed consecutively will result in the first 12 sensors being displayed. This makes it
easy to choose the sensor, which you want to monitor. If you programme the nodes with
holes in the sequence, 1,15 and 26 for example, then the associated sensors numbers will be
1..4 for node 1, 57..60 for node 15 and 101..104 for node 26. It can be seen that this is not
an efficient way in which to programme the nodes as it takes a long time to scroll through
the list to reach a programmed sensor.
When power is applied details for sensor 1 will be displayed by default. While displaying
the detail for sensor 1, pressing the Down(T) key will cause the T500 to display the details
for sensor 256. The reverse of this is also permitted. When displaying the details for
sensor 256, pressing the Up(S) key will cause the T500 to display the result in the details
for sensor 1.
4.3 Sensor Alarm Detection and Display.
Each programmed node will have its status constantly updated on a first to last basis. As
the sensor data is read from a node, the status is compared with the programmed alarm
setting. If the actual status matches the programmed alarm *ALARM* DETECTED ON
condition an alarm is generated. If the alarm zone was Sensor Number 1
programmed at the default 00, then only the T500 alarm OVER SET TEMPERATURE
relay will operate. If the alarm zone was programmed with ALARM 01 OF 05
a number between 01 and 64, then the associated alarm
relay on the optional R5004 relay interface will operate as *ALARM* DETECTED ON
well as the T500 warning relay. When an alarm is detected, Sensor Number 3
the display changes to show the details for the sensor, which CONTACT CHANGE ALARM
ALARM 02 OF 05
generated the alarm. Up to 20 alarms can be detected and
displayed in this manner. The display will toggle between
the original NORMAL display as described above and the *ALARM* DETECTED ON
ALARM display at approximately three second intervals. If Sensor Number 6
HOT BEARING ALARM
for example three sensors alarmed the display would show ALARM 03 OF 05
the TEMPERATURE DISPLAY followed by the ALARM
for the first alarmed sensor then the TEMPERATURE
*ALARM* DETECTED ON
DISPLAY followed by ALARM for the second alarmed Sensor Number 12
sensor followed by the TEMPERATURE DISPLAY then OPEN SENSOR FAULT?
followed by ALARM for the third alarmed sensor. The ALARM 04 OF 05
process would then repeat with a three second delay
between screens. The bottom line of the ALARM screen *ALARM* DETECTED ON
shows the total number of detected alarms and which of Sensor Number 24
those alarms is currently being displayed. NTC sensors are OVER TEMPERATUR RANGE
monitored for fault conditions. As well as reporting the ALARM 05 OF 05
over temperature alarm the T500 will also show when it
detects an NTC sensor which it believes to be open or short circuit. These alarm conditions
are displayed in much the same was as the other alarms listed
In order that the system maintains integrity at all times all programmed nodes are
monitored for communications faults. If a programmed
*ALARM* DETECTED ON
node is disconnected by unplugging it from the NODE ADDRESS 1023
communication system or if a node should fail a COMMUNICATION ERR.C5
communications alarm will be generated and the T500 ALARM 01 OF 01
internal warning relay will be operated. The remaining
nodes and their sensors will continue to operate as normal and for as long as the HOTBUS
cable integrity is maintained.
Any alarm relays associated with the disconnected node will not be updated and no further
alarms can be generated for those sensors. If the communications problem is resolved then
the alarm will be cleared and the monitoring of that node will continue as normal.
There are 5 communication errors reported by the T500 for each Node connected and they
are C1 to C5. C5 is the most frequently seen communication error as this is the result of a
complete failure of communication with the node. If a node becomes unplugged or fails in
some way then this is the error that you would normally expect to see. The other errors
usually occur when there is a problem with the installation of the cable or when there is
electrical interference which is disrupting the communication system. A chapter is
included later to offer advice should communications errors happen in you installation.
Communications errors are not uncommon especially those which are due to electrical
interference, The T500 will reject intermittent communications errors when they are
caused by random electrical interference. If a communications problem persists, then the
T500 will correctly respond to the error by triggering an alarm and placing and entry into
the alarm log as described below.
4.4 Alarm Log

The T500 is equipped with a simple ALARM LOG. Every alarm detected by the T500 will
be entered into this log no matter how briefly the alarm exists. This is a useful feature for
finding troublesome intermittent alarms. The log has space for 20 alarms and the newest
alarm is always at the top of the list at position 1. As the alarms are entered into the alarm
log, the log is pushed down by 1 each time making room for the latest alarm to be entered.
Eventually, when the log is full the oldest alarm (alarm 20) will be discarded. Using the
ALARM LOG option in the main menu, you can examine the log at any time. The log is
erased when power is removed from the T500.
4.5 Warning Relay Cancel (Acknowledge).

If during any alarm condition and whilst the T500 internal alarm warning relay is in
operation, the SET key is pressed, then the internal alarm relay and LED warning will be
cancelled. If the alarm condition persists, after a programmed period of time (see menu
options) the warning relay and LED indicator will operate again. The warning alarm may
be cancelled in this way any number of times. This version of software has a facility for
remote alarm acknowledge through the F500 fieldbus interface. See the section titled
‘F500 remote acknowledge’ later in this manual.
4.6 Alarm condition stop. (Shut Down)

The T500 is not equipped with any shutdown or stop relays. It was intended that the
internal alarm relay be used for audible or visual warnings. However, providing that the
correct ratings are observed, there is no reason why the relay cannot be used for indirect
control of a stop/start circuit. The T500 relay operates as a normally open relay and will
close contact when an alarm is generated. If you require greater flexibility in your
alarm/stop circuits then we recommend the use of the optional relay interface R5004. This
unit provides 16 additional relays each with a single pole changeover contact rated 250
VAC @ 5Amp, which are more suited to use in interface applications. Four R5004 relay
interface units may be connected to a T500 elite sensor monitoring system providing a total
of 64 relays. None of the relay contacts are ‘SAFETY’ contacts and as such must not be
relied upon for emergency stop purposes.
4.7 T500 Menu selection.

During normal operation, pressing the SET key will select MAIN MENU:-
< = SETUP
the main menu. The main menu has 3 options SETUP, > = DOWNLOAD
DOWNLOAD and ALARM LOG. Pressing the LEFT (◄) ^ = Alarm Log
key selects SETUP, pressing the RIGHT (►) key selects
the DOWNLOAD option, pressing the UP (S) key selects the ALARM LOG option and
pressing the SET key cancels the menu and returns the T500 to normal operation.
Selecting SETUP from the main menu allows 3 further < = Node Setup
selections to be made as described in the box to the right. > = T500 Setup
Selecting NODE SETUP will take you to the main node ^ = Sensor Display
setup area as described on page 8 and selecting T500 SET = EXIT
SETUP will select the menu option shown below. See section 4.9 for the ‘^ = Sensor
Display’ option.
The T500 SETUP menu has three options. Selecting the

< = Fieldbus Setup
FIELDBUS SETUP allows features to be selected when the > = Display in °F
T500 is used in conjunction with the F500 FieldBus ^ = Warning Relay
communications interface (see the chapter titled Fieldbus SET = EXIT
Interface).
Selecting the ‘Display In °F’ option will toggle this from °F to °C to °F each time the key
is pressed. This option is used to set the T500 to display temperature information and
alarm settings in °F or °C.
WARNING: We strongly recommend that you set this option BEFORE you set up any
NTC node alarms. Temperature alarms are done on the basis of a straight comparison
between the value measured and the programmed alarm level. Setting the alarm level to 40
means either °C or °F depending upon which option has been selected here. Setting the
alarm level to 40°C and then switching to display in °F changes the alarm level to 40°F
which may already be below the current temperature which would then result in an
immediate temperature alarm.
Selecting ‘Warning Relay’ allows an adjustment to the ALARM WARNING

REACTIVATION TIMER. This is the timer used to
reactivate the T500 alarm warning relay and LED when any ALARM WARNING
REACTIVATION TIMER
existing alarm warning has been cancelled. The default SET TO 03 MINUTES
value is 3 minutes and values between 0 and 5 minutes can
be set in 1 minute increments by pressing the UP(▲) and
DOWN(▼) keys. If the SET button was pressed to reset the alarm warning condition and
a new alarm occurs during the timing period, then the alarm warning relay will
automatically reactivate and the timer will be reset. Setting this value to 0 means that the
warning will NOT reactivate until a new alarm has occurred.
4.8 Fieldbus Interface

The T500 can be connected to an optional F500 communications device. The F500
provides a high level communications interface where up to The Current Fieldbus
4 T500 can be monitored simultaneously (dependant upon Interface is ETH-NET
the Fieldbus type selected). The two most popular types
are catered for by the T500 and they are Ethernet <=ETH >=DEV SET=Nxt
TCP/Modbus TCP and DeviceNet. Using the fieldbus setup
option, you can set the basic configurations required by each interface type. First select
Fieldbus Setup from the menu. You can then chose from “<=ETH” which means press
the LEFT (W) key to select ETHernet as the fieldbus option, or “>=DEV” which means
press the RIGHT (X) key to select DEVicenet as the fieldbus option, or you can press
“SET” which means move on to edit the data for the selected fieldbus type.
4.8.1 Ethernet Fieldbus: (Applies to F500 software V1.3.2 ETH-NET and above)
Please refer to the F500 Ethernet manual for complete details about this product and how it
works. This manual is only concerned with the T500 settings.
Two menu options are available. Firstly you must choose how many sensors you wish to
transmit from this T500 to the F500. Using the UP(▲) and
ETHERNET setup
DOWN(▼) keys you can select between sensors 1-64, For Sensors 1 – 64
1-128, 1-192 or 1-256. 256 is the maximum number of T500 Unit Number - 00
sensors that the F500 can monitor so if you want to monitor
2 T500, you can only allocate 1-128 sensors for each of the
T500 (2 x 128 = 256 sensors). Once you have selected the number of sensors that suits your
needs press the SET key. Each T500 must have a unique identifier so the F500 knows
where the data has come from. To achieve this you can set the T500 address to between 0
and 4. The 0 setting effectively stops the T500 from
sending data to the F500. Each T500 must have a unique ETHERNET setup
setting (but they can all be set to 0). If you have 2 T500 then For Sensors 1 – 64
you would logically set them to address 1 and address 2. T500 Unit Number - 01
Setting them to 2 and 4 would still work but the F500 data
area would have large gaps in it and make reading the data that much harder. Using the
UP(▲) and DOWN(▼) keys you can select between T500 address 0 to 4. Once you have
decided what address you want to use, press the SET key to save the settings. The T500
will now configure data internally to suit the F500 Ethernet interface. These settings will
be effective immediately as far as the T500 is concerned but the F500 will require power to
be recycled in order for the changes to become effective.
4.8.2 DeviceNet Fieldbus: (Applies to F500 software V2.1.0 DEV-NET and above)
Please refer to the F500 Ethernet manual for complete details about this product and how it
works. This manual is only concerned with the T500 settings.
Two options are available. The first option is the allocation of free space bytes.
DeviceNet and its implementation are governed by a set of rules determined by the ODVA
(www.odva.org). The F500 has been designed with as much flexibility in mind as
possible. However, when using the F500 with other DeviceNet systems such as Allen
Bradley a number of limitations apply. The F500 is a
DEVICENET setup
DeviceNet slave and will not instigate the transmitting of Free Space 070 Bytes
data without the proper instruction from a master unit, T500 Unit Number - 00
which in most cases is a DeviceNet scanner or bridge
module. An example of this is the Allen Bradley 1756 DNB
module. This DeviceNet scanner allows a PLC or other appropriate device to be connected
to a DeviceNet system with multiple salve nodes attached of which the F500 is one of
them. The 1756 DNB has a limited amount of memory available to it and each slave unit
connected will require the use of some of this memory. Currently the 1756 DNB has 490
bytes of data memory of which a maximum of 255 bytes can be allocated to a single slave
unit. Therefore, the maximum amount of data that can be read from an F500 is 255 bytes.
Each sensor node connected to the T500 has 4 sensors inputs and an ambient temperature
sensor. This means that the data for 5 sensors is available from each node. Therefore, the
amount of TN4 nodes that can have their data retrieved by the F500 is determined by the
amount of memory available to the scanner module. If a scanner module has 255 bytes
free, then 255 / 5 = 51, the maximum amount of memory available is 255 bytes and each
nodes presents 5 bytes of data so you can read the data for 51 nodes. There is also a two
byte overhead for the activity counter (Byte 0 and Byte 1) which means that a maximum of
50 nodes can be read by a scanner module.
This applies to a scanner dedicated to the F500 but in many cases the scanner is part of a
much bigger system where existing DeviceNet nodes are in place and are using some of the
scanners memory allocation. This means that the scanner will have to read fewer than the
maximum of 50 nodes as calculated above. The minimum is 1 node and this requires 5
bytes + 2 bytes so 7 bytes in total.
In order that the F500 and DeviceNet scanner module DEVICENET setup
communicate successfully they must both be configured Free Space 070 Bytes
with the same amount of data bytes. Once you have T500 Unit Number - 01
decided, using the calculation above, how many bytes of
data are required by the DeviceNet scanner module, you can configure the T500 to match.
You can now use the UP (S), DOWN (T), LEFT (W) or RIGHT (X) keys to change the
“Free Space xxx Bytes” entry to any value between 5 which is the minimum and 255 which
is the maximum. This information is later passed to the F500 to configure the DeviceNet
interface. If this value is incorrectly set, the DeviceNet interface will not initialise
correctly. Once you have selected the number of bytes that suits your need press the SET
key. The T500 must have a unique identifier so the F500 knows where the data has come
from. To achieve this you can set the T500 address to between 0 and 1. The 0 setting
effectively stops the T500 from sending data to the F500. Using the UP(▲) and
DOWN(▼) keys you can select between T500 address 0 and 1. Once you have decided
what address you want to use, press the SET key to save the settings. The T500 will now
configure data internally to suit the F500 DeviceNet interface. These settings will be
effective immediately as far as the T500 is concerned but the F500 will require power to be
recycled in order for the changes to become effective.
4.8.3 F500 remote acknowledge.

This software version (and versions above) is equipped with the ability to have the F500
fieldbus interface perform a remote alarm acknowledge. This is done by passing a request
through the fieldbus interface of the F500 to the T500. This method does not interfere in
any way with the T500 local alarm acknowledge function which can be found in section
4.5. At the present time remote alarms acknowledge can only be performed through the
Ethernet series interface.
4.9 Status Display.

By default the T500 will display the information for each Status Display
programmed node (see section 4.2 Normal Operation. F500 Poll 00000
However, there is a special Status Display available. This HotBus Poll 00000
screen displays information relating to the communications Updating 03 Nodes
with the HotBus nodes and with the F500 interface if
connected. This is a simple diagnostics display and is an aid to installation only. If the
T500 and F500 communicate successfully and the data exchange is valid, then the F500
Poll count will increase by 1 with each event. Every time the T500 communicates
successfully with a node then the HotBus Poll count will increase by 1 with each poll.
Because of the update times involved, this number might increase by amounts bigger than
1 each time, but this is normal. The bottom line shows how many nodes are responding
correctly to the poll. This number doesn’t reflect the number of physical nodes connected
to the system but represents the number of nodes that the T500 can communicate with. The
Status Display can be selected at any time by pressing the SET key to select the main menu.
From the main menu pressing the UP (S) key will select the “Status Display” option, and
pressing SET again will select the “Sensor Display” (normal display) option. If an alarm
occurs while viewing the Status Display, then the alarm display will operate as normal,
however, you will need to select “Sensor Display” to be able to view the offending sensor
and the alarm condition.
4.10 Sensor name editing.

In order that the information displayed on the T500 LCD screen is as meaningful as
possible, the T500 is equipped with the ability to display a name associated with each of the
64 sensors. The T500 is supplied with a default set of sensor names, Sensor 1, Sensor
2….Sensor 255, Sensor 256. PC software is available to allow the editing and then
downloading of the sensor names to the T500 Elite. Each name is limited to 20 characters
in length and once edited; the names can be saved on the PC for use again later.
4.11 Downloading.
If DOWNLOAD is selected from the main menu then the
DOWNLOADING ..
T500 will stop monitoring the sensors and enter the PRESS SET TO
download mode. This mode allows you to download useful ABORT
sensor names from a PC via the sensor naming utility
software. If this option is selected by mistake pressing the
SET key will abort the download without any changes taking place. If download is
selected and download fails for whatever reason, then the download will automatically
abort after 1 minute. Pressing SET during a download will abort the download at the next
available point and therefore data downloaded to that point will still be valid.
The T500 must be connected to the PC through the standard RS232 serial port using a
standard serial communications lead. Only three pins are used TX, RX, and Ground so it is
acceptable to use a null modem cable.
The PC software has been designed to allow you to give names to all 256 sensors which
apply more appropriately than the default name Sensor Number 1, Sensor Number 2…
Each name is limited to 20 characters in length and can be any combination of letters
numbers and spaces. The 20 character limit is applied because the display used on the
T500 has lines of 20 characters and a single line has been allocated to the displaying of the
sensor name. Please refer to the manual accompanying the PC software for further detail
of its use. To download the sensor names run the PC software, load your saved name file or
if this is the first time then edit your names and save them; connect the PC to the T500 as
described above and using the T500 menu as described above select DOWNLOAD.
Clicking the “TEST CONNECTION” button on the PC screen will check the
communications connections with the T500 and ensure that the software is correctly set up.
Now click the DOWNLAOD button on the PC screen. The names for the 256 sensors will
be downloaded in order to the T500. Each downloaded name is check for errors and the
T500 confirms that the data is valid before the next name is downloaded. In order to help
keep you informed of the progress of the download the T500 will show the number of the
sensor that was most recently successfully downloaded. The PC software will also display
confirmation of the download process. If an error is detected then the download will retry
a number of times before eventually aborting the download. Any names that have been
successfully download before the error will be retained by the T500 and only the data
following the error will be lost. If a download is terminated by an error then the download
can be started again immediately by clicking the DOWNLOAD button the PC screen and
the download will begin from the start of the process. If the download is unattended and
fails to complete the software will automatically time out and return back to the normal
monitoring state after 1 minute. The download can be
manually aborted at any time by pressing the SET key on DOWNLOADING ..
the T500, or the download abort button on the PC, this will COMPLETE
bring the download to a stop at the end of the current name.
When a download is complete the T500 will display a
completion message for 2 seconds and then it returns back to the normal operation mode.
CHECKLIST
For problems after initial start-up
1. Is there excessive interference on the electrical power supply? Power conditioners

and surge (spike) suppressor may have to be fitted.
2. Has the wiring for the Sensors been routed away from power cables? See paragraph
3.
3. Is the T500 Elite circuit properly grounded?
4. Is the Micro-processor control unit overheating? If so mount it in a

temperature-controlled environment of maximum temperature 104°F (40°C).
5. Check that high powered two way radios are not operated immediately near the
T500 Elite control unit or Sensors as this will affect the performance.
6. Check that the communications/power cable is connected correctly and in

accordance with DRG ‘D’,’H’ and’ J’.
7. If the T500 display shows only information similar to this example and does not
update the temperature on screen then you are
attempting to run the T500 without having Sensor Number 1
Temperature = <->°F
configured sensors first. This can happen when you Amb <->°F :Relay 00
pressed SET to exit the setup screen without first Rel 30: Abs 176: NTC
saving any configuration. To clear this problem,
remove power from the T500, wait approximately 5 seconds and then re apply
power. The T500 should now enter the initial set up mode as described in section
4.1.
8. Have you set the optional R5004 address switch correctly?
9. If you are using NTC sensors have you set the Relative and/or Absolute alarm
level ABOVE the NORMAL working conditions for the sensor.
10. If you have programmed an NTC sensor and do not have a sensor connected, then
an open circuit sensor alarm will occur. Unused sensors on a TN4e should be
programmed as CNT type, see 11 below.
11. Ensure that any unused CNT inputs are programmed as ‘ALARM WHEN ON’ to
avoid unexpected alarms.
12. Ensure that any unused PTC inputs have a wire link connected across the sensor
terminals to avoid unexpected alarms.

Correct Wrong
Figure 2 shows the correct approach to wiring the T500 HotBus system with nodes. The maximum cable
distance between ends is 1KM, but this is only possible with good wiring practice.
Figure 3 shows an example of the wrong way to wire the T500 HotBus system. You are NOT allowed to wire
branches off of the main cable run. Incorrect wiring will cause signal reflections in the wire which in turn
causes poor communications reliability.
Each end of the communications cable MUST be terminated with a 120OHM resistor ¼ watt or above.
There is no minimum cable distance between nodes.
Ensure that the wiring is neat and tidy. Avoid loose wires which may cause shorting.
