INTRODUCTION
Product Overview
The Intellix BMT 300 is a monitoring system that continuously: Measures the condition of transformer bushings. (through changes in Capacitance and Power Factor) Detects any Partial Discharges (PD) activity in the transformer main tank; (measured as high frequency pulses).
All measurements and alarms can be reported to a remote monitoring centre via either the standard RS485 connection, one of the other communications options, or manually downloaded by a visiting service engineer. The Intellix BMT 300 is supplied with PC setup software, which is the subject of this user manual.
WARNING
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. The Intellix BMT 300 does not require periodic maintenance. However, if the transformer bushings are replaced then the Bushing Adapter circuit integrity checks that are at Appendix 2 should be implemented and the bushing nominal parameters updated before the transformer is returned to service. If the transformer bushings are subjected to routine maintenance, then the Bushing Adapter circuit integrity checks that are at Appendix 2 should be implemented before the transformer is returned to service.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The Intellix BMT 300 setup software is supplied on a CD. To install the software, load the CD into your PCs DVD/CD drive, and the installer package should run automatically. If the installer does not run automatically, then use Windows Explorer to view the CDs directory structure. Select and double click on setup.exe in the root directory of the CD to start the Intellix BMT 300 Monitor installer. Note: the installation of a third-party run-time library requires the existence of a My Documents folder. If this folder does not exist the installation will fail. This error can also happen if your My Documents folder is on a network location which is not accessible at installer runtime. This issue can be fixed by assigning the My Documents folder. This can be done by either: a) Right-click on My Documents from the Start Menu or Desktop, select Properties, and edit the Target folder location field; or b) Edit the My Documents registry location directly. The key value can be found at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer \Shell Folders. If manual assignment of the My Documents folder doesn't solve the issue, then creating a temporary user account in Windows and running the installer from that location should. Editing the registry carries inherent risks. Make sure you are familiar with the registry before editing the registry, manually or programmatically. It is highly recommended to create a backup of the registry before modifying it.

Communications
Click on the Communications side button, as shown below.
If the Intellix BMT 300 is to use an adjacent Transfix for its communications, then the settings from the Transfix column in Table 1 overleaf must be used. If the Intellix BMT 300 is to use another communications link, then select the most suitable. Note: Communication over modem requires ASCII transmission mode due to the low speed of the connection. Note 2: The settings in the Communications Settings tab are used to ensure that the Intellix BMT 300 setup software is attempting the communication with the correct protocol settings. It is required that the MODBUS protocol settings on the Intellix BMT 300 are to be changed, then Service user access rights are required to get access to the Utilities >MODBUS Slave Settings tab; refer to the BMT 300 Service Manual. If you change the MOBUS settings, then you will have to come back to this Communications Settings tab to enter the new protocol setting for the Setup software to use.

Serial Modbus Setting to be used when interfacing a TransFix family device In range 3 to 247. default value 3 COM port NB: This will only have to be changed if the Transfix is already using dev3 for another purpose 9600 Even RTU
If a serial connection is selected the flow control must be off. Please refer to the serial hardware documentation. For a modem this may be done either via AT commands (see below) of the modem drivers interface. To validate the communications settings, click the Ping button.
If there is doubt about the existing communications settings, or the Ping fails, then the basic ModBus settings can be found by the following method: Connect the laptop to the main PCB USB port. Use a terminal application, such as Hyperterminal. Configure the terminal as: baud=115200, 8-N-1. Use the command, mbs You should get a report like this:
To reset the communication port to its default use mbsr. The default port is the serial port/USB (as opposed to the serial fibreoptic port), with address=3, baud rate=9600, Parity=Even and Protocol=RTU.
Page 16
Once the settings are confirmed, it is suggested that they are saved for future reference, by pressing the Save Setting to File button. A Windows File Dialogue will open, to allow you to name the settings file (in configuration, cfg, format) and set the save location, as shown in Figure 5 below. Note: Most pages/ tabs have a Save Setting to File button. In each case, it will save just the configuration settings from that page/tab only. The option to save all configuration settings in one file requires the Service Function to obtain access to the Utilities>Program Setting tab; refer to the companion BMT 300 Service Manual.
NB: to send commands directly to the modem: Use atd#, where # is the telephone number. Some modems require a specific command to open the data connection: atdt#. Use ath to terminate the communication. The modems escape sequence (by default +++) prior ath is usually required whilst connected in data mode. The list of supported flow control modes is read by at&k=?. The current mode is read by at&k? and set by at&kN or at&k=N, where N is 0 : no flow control 1 :hardware mono-directional flow control (only CTS active) 2: software mono directional flow control (XON/XOFF) 3: hardware bi-direction flow control 4: software bi-directional with filtering

Alarm Statuses
The Alarm Statuses tab indicates the current status of all alarms. The individual alarms can be selected in normal Windows manner (CTRL+ click for multiple selections). The actions are: Read Status refreshes the alarm status screen. Acknowledge Acknowledges the selected alarms, but leaves them at their current status as given by the alarm trigger state (see Alarm Settings) Reset Acknowledges the alarm and resets it to un tripped (Service user only)
Page 31
Relay Control
The Relay Control tab provides the means to control the BMT300 relays. On operational mode the Active relay on alarm is enabled. Thus the relays reflect the alarm statuses: Relay 1 (Service) is energized by default. If a service alarm is on or BMT300 loses power it will switch to off. Relay 2 (Warning) and Relay 3 (Alarm) is de-energized by default. If either of their respective alarms is on, the corresponding relay will switch to on.
Relays can be manually controlled by disabling the Active relay on alarm. Then the relays are not synchronized with the alarm statuses; and the user can manually switch the relays (by clicking on the relay switch icon and then click on write).
Page 32
Measurement
The Measurement page displays the instantaneous measurements taken by the BMT 300, plus CANBUS and GPS values.
Note: The expected phase angles for AB and AC are calculated and presented in the Bushing Current Settings page, and will be around 120 and -120 respectively. The PD Max displayed on this page is the maximum PD value for the cycle. The log file PD Max is the maximum value of the PD averaged over each cycle in the logging period. The Bushing Current fields are colour coded: Their background is red if there is no signal; yellow if beyond the threshold set in the Bushing Current settings page, see description at page 21. The Start button starts polling the instantaneous results. The label of the button then changes to Stop. Pressing the Stop button will cease polling. The Clear Error button resets the error counters in the Field Sensors error box.

For each phase connection, in turn: 1. Record Maker Plate information: PF%, C1, C2 and T. Confirm that the measured bushings capacitance (Cb) is within 10% of the nominal C2. 2. Test the capacitance between the cable core and shield. This should be the sum of the measured bushing adaptors capacitance and the measured bushings capacitance (Cb). 3. Test the continuity between the sensor cable shield and ground at the cabinet, as shown in Figure 20 . It should be less than 5 Ohm. 4. Test the resistance between the sensor cable core and the shield, as shown in Figure 21. It must be within 5% of the nominal value of the bushing adapter (2xR in parallel; if R=1k then the measured R must be 500 5%. Note this as [R1].
Page 38
5. Measure the resistance across the screws of the terminals (ie the input resistance of the PCB circuits, as shown in Figure 22. Note this as [R2]. Reconnect the coax plug of the phase. 6. Re-test the resistance across the 2 screws. This is the measured value of [R3]. 7. Calculate the theoretical value of [R3] using: [Rc] = [R1]x[R2]/([R1]+[R2]) Rc must be within 5% of the measured value of [R3] in step 6.
Figure 22: Measuring Motherboard Input Resistance
Note all of the above test values in a copy of this sheet. Repeat for the remaining phases. Store a completed copy of this record with the transformer maintenance documents.
8. Once the transformer is energized and whilst the Isolation/ grounding block is on the operational position, measure the voltage drop across the core and the shield at the block terminals of the co-axial cables connected to the bushing adaptors and record the values. The measured values voltages must be within the 0.61.5Vrms. This doesnt apply to the CT co-axial input.
