Modules
The modules comprising the 505ITM include:

RTD Input Module CT Input Module AC Voltage Input Module Potentiometer Input Module DC Voltage Input Module Current Input Module Dry Contact Closure Module Powered Contact Closure Module
RTD Input Module

RTD Input Modules are used for monitoring liquid, ambient, or if used in a heated well, winding temperatures. The input to the module is either a 100 ohm platinum RTD or 10 ohm copper RTD. For measuring liquid or ambient temperatures, the module is scaled over the range of -40 120 C. If it is used in a heated well, the scale is -40 - 200 C. When ordering the 505ITM from the factory, the temperature requirements need to be specified.
CT Input Module
The CT Input Module is used to monitor winding temperatures, winding currents, motor currents of LTCs, or fan currents. The input to the module is a clamp on the CT, provided by Qualitrol, which has an input range of 0 - 5 A, 0 - 10 A, or 0 - 20 A, other ranges are available, and an output of 0 - 0.333 VAC, can be used as the input to the CT Input Module. If this module is used for winding temperatures, the scaling is in the range of -40 - 200 C; for anything other than temperature, the range is scalable to a maximum of 99999.9 C.
AC Voltage Input Module

The AC Voltage Input Module is used to monitor any AC voltages under 320 VAC. The input module works in conjunction with the Qualitrol Voltage Sensor, TRA-600-1, and measures ranges of either 0 - 140 VAC or 0 - 320 VAC. The range is scalable to a maximum of 99999.9 VAC.
Potentiometer Input Module

The Potentiometer Input Module is used for monitoring liquid level, flow gauges, or gas accumulation. The input to the module is a potentiometer that is typically supplied by Qualitrol. The range of the potentiometer input is up to 15,000 ohm. Typically, the 25 mark on a liquid level dial is set to the center of the potentiometer range, and the high and low readings are simply ratios of the angular deflections from the normal setting. Qualitrol gauges use a 340 angular degree potentiometer on a 2:1 gear ratio from the dial travel to the potentiometer travel. The Potentiometer Input Module must be calibrated on site. For

more information, see the Using the Factory Calibrator Tool (Advanced users, only) section in the Software Instructions. The scaling of the 505ITM for this module is 0 - 100%.
DC Voltage Input Module

The DC Voltage Input Module is used for monitoring transducer outputs with an output signal in either the 0 - 100 mVDC or 0 - 10 VDC range. The range for this module is scalable to a maximum of 99999.9 VDC.
Current Input Module

The Current Input Module is used for monitoring transducer output with an output signal in either the 0 - 1 mA DC or 4 - 20 mA DC range. These can be devices such as pressure transducers for measuring main tank pressure, bushing pressure, or dissolved gas in oil transducers. The input module can be configured to operate with either two-wire loop transducers, which are powered by the module, or three-wire transducers that are powered by the module or from the transducer. The range for this module is scalable to a maximum of 9999.99 mA DC.
Dry Contact Closure Module

The Dry Contact Closure Module is used for monitoring a contact and indicating on a display if it is open or closed. An open contact means there is no connection between the contacts; a closed contact signifies a shorted connection across the contacts. This can be used, for example, to monitor pumps or fans. The system internally treats closed and opened contacts as either a 0 or 100 numeric value. Therefore, if the module is used to control a relay, the relay set point should be set at midrange, e.g., 50. This module can monitor a non-powered, dry contact.
Powered Contact Closure Module

The Powered Contact Closure Module is used to monitor a powered contact, and it indicates on the display whether it is opened or closed. An open means there is no connection between the contacts, and closed indicates a shorted connection across the contacts. This can be used to monitor alarms or active fans, for example. The system internally treats closed and open contacts as either a 0 or 100 numeric value. Therefore, if the module is used to control a relay, the relay set point should be set at midrange, e.g., 50. This module can monitor a powered contact of >80 VAC/DC or >130 VAC/DC jumper selectable.

Heater Option
If the Enclosure or Panel Mount monitor is supplied with the Heater Option, the supply power, 120 or 240 VAC, as specified when ordering, is applied to Terminal Block TB1 terminals 1 and 17, as shown in the Heater Option Connection figure.
Heater Option Connection
Qualitrol recommends that the heater circuit be installed with a fuse for safety and protection purposes. The fuse is the responsibility of the installer. The rating of the heater is 75 watts at 120 VAC. A 240 VAC heater uses two of these heaters in a series, for a total of 150 watts. Qualitrol recommends installing a slow-blow fuse rated at 1.00 A, at 600 V.
RTD Input Modules

For each RTD Input Module, one standard 100 ohm RTD (or 10 ohm RTD), with a threeconductor, shielded cable is required to measure liquid and ambient temperature, or if in a heated well, winding temperature. The three conductors and the shield drain lead are connected to the monitor, as shown in the RTD Input Wiring Connections figure.
CAUTION: RTD wiring should be continuous, and the shield drain lead must be
grounded only at the instrument. The monitor uses a compensation scheme for the RTD cable connection. The three-wire connection compensates for the resistance of the connecting wires.
RTD Input Wiring Connections
If you are upgrading an existing Qualitrol device, or if the RTD you have installed is a fourwire RTD, DO NOT connect the fourth wire in parallel with the third wire, this will adversely affect the compensation scheme. If you have a fourth wire on the RTD connection, cut the fourth wire flush with the jacket. Qualitrol recommends a maximum length of 75 feet for RTD cabling.
10
505ITM Hardware & Software Manual Note:

Due to dimensional and mounting variations, the RTD, well, and connector must be ordered separately and are available from Qualitrol.
CT Input Module
For each CT Input Module, one standard clamp on the CT, TRA-017-X, is required to calculate winding temperature or currents. Input the current range as specified. Pull the supplied Qualitrol clamp on CT Sensor apart and place the wire which carries the current to be sensed, into the CT opening. Push the CT sensor back together and check that it is fully engaged. As shown in the CT Input Connections figure, connect the output wires of the clamp on CT to the terminal board.
CT Input Connections
The Qualitrol clamp-on CT sensor comes with 20 feet of cable. While it is not recommended to run the wire longer than 20 feet, if the application requires a longer distance, splice the longer cable as close to the clamp on sensor as possible. This replacement cabling should consist of shielded twisted pair wire.
Note:
Because the CT sensor is isolated from the transformer, the burden is so small it can only be measured in a laboratory. For all practical purposes, the burden sensed by the transformer is zero. current directly to the 505ITM will damage the unit.
Caution: The 505ITM measures current using the clamp on CT sensors. Wiring
11
AC Voltage Input Module

For each AC Voltage Input Module, one AC Voltage Sensor, TRA-600-1, is required to measure the AC voltage. The module can measure either 0 - 140 VAC or 0 - 320 VAC, 50/60 Hz, as specified at the factory. Connect the voltage to be measured to the sensor input Terminal Block TB1 of the voltage sensor (TRA-600-1). Then connect the sensor output to the terminal block of the AC Voltage Input Module, as shown in the AC Voltage Input Connections figure.
AC Voltage Input Connections
Caution: The 505ITM measures voltage using the Voltage sensor. Wiring directly to
the Voltage Input Module will damage the unit.
Potentiometer Input Module

For each Potentiometer Input Module, one standard potentiometer in the range of 1500 15000 ohm, as supplied by various Qualitrol case assemblies, is required to measure liquid level, flow, or gas accumulation. The module must be calibrated on site. See the Using the Factory Calibrator Tool (Advanced users, only) section in the Software Instructions. The three conductors and the shield drain lead are connected to the monitor, as shown in the Potentiometer Input Connections figure.
CAUTION: Wiring should be continuous, and the shield drain lead must be
grounded only at the instrument.
Potentiometer Input Connections
12
DC Voltage Input Module

For each Voltage Input Module, one voltage transducer, 0 - 100 mVDC or 0 - 10 VDC, as specified, is required. Connect the output wires of the transducer to the terminal block as shown in the DC Voltage Input Wiring figure.
DC Voltage Input Wiring
Current Input Module

The Current Input Module is configurable to accept either a 0 - 1 mA DC or a 4 - 20 mA DC (SCADA type) signal. Either of these options can be a transducer that is:

2-wire, self-powered from the transducer 2-wire, powered from the input module 3-wire, powered from the input module
For each Current Input Module, one current transducer (0 - 1 mA DC or 4 - 20 mA DC) is required. Connect the output wires of the transducer to the terminal block as shown in the Current Input Wiring figure.

Dry Contact Closure Input Module

The Dry Contact (Switch) Closure Input Module is designed to detect the actuation or deactuation of one dry, non-powered switch contact. The system internally treats closed and open contacts as either a 0 or 100 numeric value. Therefore, if the module is used to control a relay, the relay set point should be set at midrange, e.g., 50. See the Contact Closure Wiring figure for the correct circuit wiring.
Contact Closure Wiring
Powered Contact Closure Input Module

The Powered Contact (Switch) Closure Input Module is designed to detect the actuation or de-actuation of a powered switch contact. This is accomplished by measuring a potential across the switch contact of 0 volts when closed and a potential greater than 80 volts AC/DC contact is open. For applications where a higher potential is being measured, e.g., 240 V AC, 250 V DC) there is a jumper on the board that can be moved that will raise the sense voltage to 130 V, if required. The system internally treats closed and open contacts as either a 0 or 100 numeric value. Therefore, if the module is used to control a relay the relay set point should be set at midrange, e.g., 50. See the Powered Contact Wiring figure for correct circuit wiring.
Powered Contact Wiring
15
Output Contacts
Five isolated sets of normally open/normally closed output contacts, for Output Relays 1 - 4 and the System State Output Relay, are provided for controlling cooling equipment, sounding an alarm, or operating remote breaker coils. Each set is capable of switching 115/230 VAC, 30 VDC @ 10 A, and the sets are accessed on Terminal Block TB1, see the Relay Wiring figure for the Enclosure and Panel Mount monitors. Refer to the Software Instructions for configuring the relays controlling signal, as failsafe/non-failsafe, time delay, and other features. Refer to the back cover of the 505ITM for configuration and identification of the output contacts for each relay. Note that each relay is shown in the non-powered state.
Caution: Applying high DC voltage to the output relays will damage the relays.

Allows simulation of field input signals/sensors. Allows calibration of 505ITM inputs and outputs. This tool is conditionally blocked to the user. Allows you to configure the 505ITM, including setup of cooling control,
28

Setup Factory Setup alarms, communications, and other features. Allows the factory to configure the 505ITM. This tool is not accessible to the user.
Password
Each tool requires a password. Passwords are set at the factory, but you can change them when you are in the tool. The factory set passwords are: Monitor Simulator Calibrator Customer Setup 111111 111111 If required, call Qualitrol Application Engineering at 585-586-1515 x 410. 111111
The Factory Setup tool can only be entered by Qualitrol factory personnel. This section is reserved for the factory except in the Demo mode (offline). Remember Me Check Box By checking in this check box, the password is stored in the communications file so that you do not have to re-enter it every time you start the tool.
Important:
Enabling this feature will disable security protection and allow anyone using this computer to gain access to the software.
Start Button
Activates the selected tool.
29
Opening a Tool
To open any of the 505ITM software tools, do the following: 1. Establish communications with the 505ITM. 2. From the Desktop Menu window, enter the correct password for the tool you wish to start.
Note:
If the Remember Me feature is enabled, you do not have to enter a password.
3. Click [Start].
Using the Monitor Tool

The Monitor tool provides remote monitoring and control of the 505ITM by simulating the contents on the 505ITM LCD, and relay LEDs appear on your PC screen. The monitor requests an update from the 505ITM three times every second.
30

There are eight control buttons on your PC screen: Test, Reset, Menu, Enter, Up, Down, Left, and Right. These buttons are activated by clicking on them with the left mouse button. Activating a button in this way has the same effect as pressing the same button on the 505ITM monitor itself. See the Operation section of the Hardware Instructions for specific information on the control and operation of the 505ITM. Click [Close] to exit the tool.
Note:
The actual 505ITM continues to operate when the Monitor tool is closed.
31
Using the Simulator Tool

The Simulator tool allows you to simulate values regardless of the actual inputs that the sensors register. The 505ITM responds to the input signal changes from the Simulator window as if the signals originated in the field. This mode is useful for testing items such as relay connections and wiring.
When you click [Start Simulation]: The field inputs disconnect from the actual field signals and connect to the signals from the Simulator tool. You can now change the simulated signals remotely as you desire. The 505ITM responds to the simulated signals as if they were the actual field signals. With the exception of the CT, Temperature signals, the transfer from the field to the simulation is almost undetectable because the initial simulation value is set to the last value of the actual field signal. The winding temperature (CT, Temperature) is a calculated value using load currents, oil temperatures, and time constants. All of these are bypassed in the simulation mode where the calculated values are replaced with the simulated values.
Important:
While the simulation is active, the actual field signals are not being monitored. If you have Trip functions connected to the 505ITM, you can activate them in simulation mode.
When you click [End Simulation]: The field signals reconnect to the input of the 505ITM. The 505ITM responds immediately to the actual field signals.
Note:
If you make no changes to any of the input signals for more than 3 minutes, the simulation ends automatically. Whenever any button is pressed, the 3-minute timer resets.
32
Using the Factory Calibrator Tool (Advanced users only)

The Factory Calibrator tool allows you to calibrate most inputs. When you first enter the Calibrator - Signal Selection window, the Input 1 channel is selected by default.
Important:
All channels, except for the Potentiometer Input module, are calibrated at the factory. Under normal operation, they will not need to be calibrated again. You must have a separate password for this application for the ITM manager to allow you to use this tool.
33

Calibrating the Input Channels 1. Open the Factory Calibrator tool. 2. Select the input channel to calibrate. 3. Click [Calibrate]. The Input Channel Calibration window displays. 4. In the terminal block that corresponds to the input module being calibrated, enter the signal value displayed in the Set input signal to field.
Important:
The Set input signal to field displays the value of the external signal that must be applied to the module terminals. For the RTD Input Modules, the input signal is expressed in terms of degrees C. If you continue the calibration procedure without inputting the correct excitation (stimulus) signal, you will overwrite the calibration with invalid data. This will cause the monitor to malfunction.
5. After you have entered the input signal on the terminal block and it is stabilized, click [Next] to accept the value in the Set input signal to field.
Note:
All channels require at least a two-step calibration procedure. The [Next] button changes to [Finish] for the second step in the procedure. If you want to return to the previous step, click [Back].
6. Enter the value for the second input and click [Finish]. The calibration of this channel is complete.
34

Calibrating the Output Channels The analog outputs can be adjusted in a four-point calibration; see the Output Calibration section of the manual for more details. However, this calibration should not be necessary because it is done at the factory. Saving Calibrations in Files You can save calibration values in files using the File pull-down menu. These files have the default file extension .qca3. Import Export Export As... Allows you to import a valid calibration file stored in the PC. Allows you to save the current calibration to a previously specified file for future use. Allows you to save the current calibration in a newly specified file for future use.
35
Using the Setup Tools

The User Setup tool allows you to set all the adjustable parameters of the 505ITM. The Factory Setup tool is used to set the hardware configurations of the monitor. The Customer Setup limits access to some of the 505ITM parameters, such as serial number, manufacturing date, and configuration date.
Note:
You can save configurations as files, which you can use to restore settings or to preconfigure before connecting to the 505ITM. See Importing and Exporting Configuration Files.
When you open the Customer Setup tool, the Customer - Setup window displays. When you open the Factory Setup tool, the Factory - Setup window appears. The windows for both tools are the same and allow for a specific subsystem to be configured.
36
The Setup windows have three main sections: Model Information Model Type System Index Displays the fields for Serial number, Manufacturing date, and the last Configuration date of the 505ITM. The Configuration date field displays when the 505ITM was last updated. Displays that the monitor is a Transformer Monitor. Displays the system buttons required to set up and view the parameters of the 505ITM. Click the buttons to begin setting up the configurations.

505ITM Hardware & Software Manual Password Setup

This section of the System Settings window allows you to configure the passwords that provide access for the different software tools. The passwords are stored in the 505ITM and have the following characteristics and requirements:

Passwords consist of one to six alphanumeric characters, and they are case-sensitive. The password for the User Setup tool is also the password used to enter the modification section of the MENU Mode from the front panel of the 505ITM. The password for the Calibrator tool must be different from the other tool passwords. This is a precaution to prevent users from accidentally entering the calibration section of the monitor. There is a hierarchy to the password system. The password for the Customer Setup tool will also work in the Monitor and Simulator tools, even if they have different passwords. This is because all of the passwords can be changed in the Customer Setup tool, so it is treated as the master password. When passwords are changed in the Password Setup tool, the user must enter the new password values the next time the tools are opened.
There are five Password fields and five corresponding Verify fields. The Password fields accept the password values for the associated tools. The Verify fields are used to check the corresponding password.
Note:
The Factory Setup password is not available to the customer.
To enter a new password: 1. Type the new password value into the Password field. Use one to six alphanumeric characters. 2. Type the same password value into the Verify field. Use the same alphanumeric characters and the same case as you did in the Password field. 3. Click [Load]. The software compares the values in the Password and Verify fields when they are loaded into the 505ITM. If the values do not match, an error message displays.

The 505ITM translates the input signal into the alternate monitors using the low- and high-end values provided. Example: You have a Dissolved Gas Monitor with 0 - 1 mA representing a 0 - 2000 PPM scale. Using a 0 - 1 mA input module, set: Low-End Scaling Value field to 0 mA = 0 High-End Scaling Value field to 1 ma = 2000 Custom Units Label field to PPM An input of 0.4 mA would appear as 800 PPM on the display.

CT Current Parameters
If the Input Module Type field is set to "CT, Current" or CT, Temperature, this section of the Input Module Setup window provides linear scaling between the 505ITM output and the actual current sensed by the Power Transformer CT. The fields in this section are described below.
CT clamp-on sensor Rating
Indicates the maximum rating of the CT clamp-on sensor used with this module, for example, 10 Amp, 30 Amp). You can read this rating from the clamp-on sensor. When selecting the sensor value, make sure that: the maximum rating of the sensor value is greater than the current it will be sensing. This will prevent saturation. the sensor value is as close to the maximum current reading as possible. This will optimize the resolution. Provides the parameters needed for CT Current Scaling. The left field identifies the true current, such as winding or bushing, being sensed by the instrumentation or metering CT. The right field identifies the secondary or output of the instrumentation or metering CT that will be used with the 505ITM Clamp-On CT Sensor. Example: If the Instrument CT on the transformer has a ratio of 1200 : 5 Amps, the two CR ratio fields are set to CT Ratio = 1200 : 5. The clampon sensor is on the 5 Amp circuit and now acknowledges that the 5 Amp are passing through the CT to scale the current to the 1200 Amp range.

Oil Temperature Adder Winding Rise Temperature
Allows you to select one of the available RTD Input Modules. The selected RTD Input Module will be the liquid temperature measurement that is added to the winding curve simulation, for example, top oil temperature. Allows you to set the number of degrees that the winding temperature will be over the oil temperature (delta T) at nominal load for the transformer. You can calculate this parameter from the transformer heat run test reports by subtracting the oil temperature at nominal loading from the winding temperature at nominal loading. If you cannot obtain the heat run report, contact the transformer manufacturer for these values. Displays the value measured at the clamp-on CT sensor of the 505ITM at nominal loading of the transformer.
Current Factor
55

Winding Time Constant Allows you to set the time constant for the temperature rise of this winding. The time constant is defined as the time it takes the winding temperature to reach 63.2% of its final value for a given current input.
Note:
It takes approximately five time constants to elapse for the temperature to reach full value for a given load. If the time constant is unknown, the IEEE Std C57.91-1995 Annex G recommends a value between 3 and 7 minutes. Qualitrol uses a default value of 6 minutes.
Oil Rise Parameters This section of the Simple CT Temperature Scaling Setup window includes the parameters that are required if you want to use the Critical Forecast feature of the TransLifeTM Setup. If you are not using the Critical Forecast feature, leave these parameters at the default values. The fields in this section are described below.
Oil rise temperature
Allows you to set the temperature rise value of the transformer oil at nominal load. This is derived from the Transformer Heat Run Report by taking the value of the Oil Rise Temperature field over ambient at nominal load, and subtracting the ambient test temperature. Oil Rise Temp = (Oil Rise Temp over Ambient - Ambient Temp) Allows you to set the time constant for the temperature rise of this winding. The time constant is defined as the time it takes the winding temperature to reach 63.2% of its final value for a given current input. It takes approximately five time constants to elapse for the temperature to reach full value for a given load. If the Oil Time Constant is not provided, the IEC 354 Loading Guide for OilImmersed Power Transformers recommends: For distribution transformers: All cooling types: 180 minutes For medium and large transformers: ON (natural convection): 150 minutes OF (oil forced): 90 minutes OD (oil directed): 90 minutes

Advanced Calculation Setup Method
This method allows you to configure the advanced scaling parameters for input module types that are set to CT, Temperature. The advanced calculation method is capable of adapting the winding temperature model for all the different stages of cooling, thereby giving a more accurate response than the Simple Calculation Method. But to use this method, the winding rise parameters are required for each cooling stage. The formulas for calculating winding temperatures for this window were derived from the IEEE Std C57.91-1995. The Advanced CT Temperature Scaling Setup window opens when you click [Advanced Calculation Setup] from the Winding Temperature Setup section of the Input Module Setup window.

The Importance of Winding Temperature and Cooling Upper Fields Advanced Winding Rise Parameters TransLifeTM
57

The Importance of Winding Temperature and Cooling Paper insulation used in transformers contains organic materials that deteriorate over time at elevated temperatures. Cooling that is activated too slowly allows elevated temperatures to degrade this insulation. Cooling systems that are activated too early or too often will lead to reduced fan and/or oil pump life. The 505ITM implements advances in thermal modeling technology to increase both insulation and cooling system life. You can set different parameters for each of the possible cooling modes, or stages: ONAN, ONAF, OFAF, and ODAF are the designations for natural convection, forced air, directed air, and oil cooling, respectively. During operation, the 505ITM can dynamically alter the parameters to match the present cooling stage being used. You can individually program each winding for accurate representation of the winding "rise" (gradient). You can also program the winding time constant and the load current "exponent" for each cooling stage. More Information

Advanced Winding Rise Parameters This section of the Advanced CT Temperature Scaling Setup window includes the fields described below.
Cooling Relay (3 fields)
Allows you to input the relay number that controls the cooling system for each cooling stage. Example: Relay 2 controls fan bank 1, Relay 3 controls fan bank 2, and Relay 4 energizes the oil pump. Allows you to enter the measured current that the clamp-on CT will sense on the secondary side of the instrumentation or metering CT for each current stage at nominal loading. Example: A 30/40/50 MVA Single-Phase Transformer with a 32 kV secondary and an instrumentation CT 2000/5 A on its secondary side, which is the winding to be configured. In ONAN mode: 30 MVA / 32 kV * 5/2000 = X In first cooling mode: 40 MVA / 32 kV * 5/2000 = X In second cooling mode: 50 MVA / 32 kV * 5/2000 = X
Current Factor (4 fields)
Note:
For a three- phase transformer application, divide the current by the square root of three.
Winding Rise Temperature (4 fields)
Allows you to set the temperature gradients (delta T) for each winding at each cooling stage. This value is the winding temperature rise over the specified liquid temperature for that given current factor. The liquid temperature will typically be the top oil temperature measurement. The 505ITM accepts a maximum of 70 C for the temperature gradient. You can calculate the winding rise value from data in the transformer heat run report. The winding rise gradient is the winding rise temperature over ambient minus the oil rise temperature over ambient.
59

Exponent (4 fields) Allows you to enter the exponent parameter used in the temperature calculation for each of the four Cooling Modes. The exponent describes the rise curve of the winding temperature above the oil temperature. When installing a 505ITM on older transformers, this information might be difficult to obtain. In those cases, Qualitrol recommends: Winding Time Constant (4 fields) For ONAN (natural convection): 1.6 For ONAF (natural convection; forced air fans only): 1.6 For OFAF (forced oil; forced air fans and pumps): 1.8 For ODAF (directed forced oil and forced air): 2.0
Allows you to enter a time constant for each of the four cooling modes. The time constant is defined as the time required to reach 63.2% of the final winding temperature rise for a specific load increase. The winding temperature reaches its final value for a given load in approximately five time constants.
Note:
You can program the 505ITM for up to four cooling modes, including natural convection. If there are less than four cooling modes, the unused rows should match the last configured row. Do not enter zeroes as a value.
TransLifeTM This section of the Advanced CT Temperature Scaling Setup window includes the parameters that are required if you want to use the Critical Forecast section of the TransLifeTM Setup. If you are not using the Critical Forecast feature, leave these parameters at the default values. The fields in this section are described below.
Oil Rise (4 fields)
Allows you to set the temperature rise value of the oil of the transformer at nominal load. This is derived from the Transformer Heat Run Report by taking the Oil Rise Temperature over ambient at nominal load and subtracting the Ambient Test Temperature.
60

Oil Time Constant (4 fields) Allows you to set the time constant for the temperature rise of this winding. The time constant is defined as the time it takes the winding temperature to reach 63.2% of its final value for a given current input.

505ITM Hardware & Software Manual Relay Tabs

This section of the Output Relay Setup window includes the fields described below.
Relay 1 Relay 4 System Status Relay
The tabs at the top of the window allow you to select which relay to display for setup. The system relay is actuated by: Any abnormal condition in the internal circuitry. A microprocessor malfunction. A power supply malfunction if in the failsafe mode.
Note: Relay Control
Relays that are not in Test Lock Out mode are also actuated when the system relay is actuated.
Relay Number Enabled / Disabled
Indicates the number of the relay being configured. Allows you to enable or disable the relay function. If the relay is disabled, it remains in the non-energized state (the normally closed and common contacts are shorted together, while the normally open and common contacts are open).
63

Failsafe / Nonfailsafe Allows you to select the actuation function of the relay. When you select the Non-failsafe condition: The normally closed and common contacts are shorted together if the monitor is de-energized and the setpoints are not exceeded. The relay changes states when the setpoints are exceeded. When you select the Failsafe condition: The normally closed and common contacts are shorted together when the monitor is de-energized. If the monitor is energized and the setpoints are not exceeded, the relay changes states. This causes the normally open and common contacts to be shorted. If the setpoints are exceeded or if the monitor loses power, the normally closed and common contacts are shorted together.
Important:
Qualitrol recommends setting any trip contacts for a transformer to Non-failsafe. See the following table for further clarification of Failsafe/Non-failsafe operation. Monitor Energized < Set Point NC - C NO - C Monitor Energized >= Set Point NO - C NC - C Loss of Power to Monitor NC - C NC - C
Relay Condition Non-failsafe Failsafe Test lock out On / Off
No Power to Monitor NC - C NC - C
When you press the TEST switch on the display panel of the 505ITM, the monitor executes a test cycle of all the relays in the system. The test actuates each relay for one second starting with relay one and finishing with relay four. The test continues until all the relays in all the relay modules are cycled. There might be situations when you do not want the relays to actuate. In these situations, use the Test Lock Out switch function. By setting Test Lock Out to ON when you press the TEST switch, the LED corresponding to the relay illuminates, but the relay does not change states.
Important:
Latching
Any relay wired to a trip function should have the Test Lockout function set to ON.
On: The relay remains in the actuated state even after the controlling signal no longer exceeds the setpoint value. The relay can only be released if you press the RESET switch while the controlling signals do not meet the setpoint conditions. Off: The relay actuates and de-actuates according to the output of the Control Signal Matrix table and other function settings.
64

Manual / Automatic Manual: The relay actuates regardless of the setpoint values. Automatic: The relay actuates according to the Control Signal Matrix table and other function settings. This feature can be toggled through the communication channels, which allows you to actuate a relay remotely. On: If any of the control signals in the Control Signal Matrix table have sensor errors, the relay actuates. Off: If a control signal has an error, it is not used in controlling the relay. The status of the other control signals controls the relay.
Actuate On Errors
Actuation Delay
Allows you to enter the amount of time the actuation of the relay will be delayed after the control signals have continually exceeded the setpoint values. (Range: from 1 second - 10 hours).

505ITM Hardware & Software Manual Seasonal Setpoint

Seasonal setpoint installed
A check mark indicates that the Seasonal Setpoint feature is installed. This feature only affects the setpoint for the Control Signal 1 column in the Controlled by Matrix section. If the Seasonal Setpoint is active and the conditions are met, the Seasonal Setpoint has priority over the setpoint in the Control Signal 1 column. Allows you to enable or disable this feature. Opens the Seasonal Setpoint Setup window that allows you to configure the Seasonal Setpoint feature. You can adjust the setpoint to compensate for changing seasonal weather conditions. For example, for the warmer summer months when the cooling system is not efficient, you might want to enter a Seasonal Setpoint value of 70 C for a cooling bank that is normally set to actuate at 80 C at other times of the year.
Seasonal function Configure Button
66

To set the Seasonal Setpoint: 1. Enter the appropriate information in the following fields: Start Date: Select the Month and Day when the Seasonal Setpoint becomes active. End Date: Select the Month and Day when the Seasonal Setpoint is discontinued. Normal setpoint operation resumes the day after this date. Seasonal Setpoint: Select the temperature setpoint that will control the relay when the Seasonal Setpoint is active.
2. Click [Load].
Ambient Temperature Forecast

Ambient temperature forecast installed
A check mark indicates that the Ambient Temperature Forecast feature is installed. This feature only affects the setpoint in the Control Signal 1 column of the Controlled by Matrix section. If the Ambient Temperature Forecast is active and the conditions are met, the Ambient Temperature Forecast Setpoint has priority over the Seasonal Setpoint and the setpoint in the Control Signal 1 column. Allows you to enable or disable this feature.
Forecast function
67

Configure Button Opens the window that allows you to configure the Ambient Temperature Forecast feature. This window provides a common path for setting the values of the Ambient Temperature Forecast feature for all eight relays. This function measures the ambient temperature for a specified amount of time and allows you to adjust the setpoint for relay operation during forecasted periods of high temperatures. This feature is similar to the seasonal setback option except that the seasonal setback is used for a specific period of time, such as summer, while the ambient temperature forecast is used for a specific condition, for example, a heat wave. If the ambient temperature exceeds the number of the Threshold Value for more than the number of Exceeded Hours during the Measurement Period, the system substitutes the forecast override setpoint for the setpoint in the Control Signal 1 column. Example: In the Ambient Temperature Forecast Setup window, the following parameters are entered: Controlled By: Ambient probe in Input Module 4 Measurement Period: 120 hours (5 days) Exceeded Hours: 12 hours Threshold Value: 30 C Forecast Override Setpoint: 50 C If at any time during a rolling 120 hour time period the ambient temperature exceeds 30 C for a total of 12 hours, the setpoint for Column 1 of the relay matrix is 50 C.
68
To set the Ambient Temperature Forecast: 1. Enter the appropriate information in the following fields: Controlled By: Select a temperature signal source to use in forecasting the temperature. This should be an ambient temperature probe.
Note:

If the 505ITM does not have an ambient temperature probe installed as one of its input modules, this feature cannot be used.
Measurement Period: Select the number of hours to measure the ambient temperature. Exceeded Hours: Select the number of hours that the controlling signal must exceed the Threshold Value during the Measurement Period for the setpoint temperature shift to occur. Threshold Value: Select a value to override the standard value. All other settings for the relay, such as hysteresis and time delay, remain the same. Forecast Override Setpoint: Enter a setpoint for the first column of the relay matrix when the Threshold Value is exceeded for the
69

specified number of hours. 2. Click [Load]. Example: If the ambient temperature exceeds 30C for at least 12 hours over the previous 120 hours, the effective setpoint for the first column is 50C.
Cooling Equipment Exerciser

The Cooling Equipment Exerciser actuates the relay for a set period of time at a specified interval of days. This feature allows you to exercise a seldom-used fan circuit to prevent rust, lubricate bearings, and to keep wildlife from nesting in fan cages. This section of the Output Relay Setup window includes the fields described below.
Important:
Enabled / Disabled
Do not enable the exerciser for any relay that controls a trip function. Allows you to enable or disable this feature. Allows you to set the number of minutes that the relay remains actuated when the cycle time is reached. The range is 0 - 59 minutes. Allows you to set the amount of time between each exerciser actuation. The range is 0 - 30 days. Allows you to set the time of day that the exerciser starts to run once the cycle time is completed. The range is 0 - 23, in military time format.
Exercise time Cycle time Start time
70
Matrix Controlled
This section of the Output Relay Setup window provides a variety of input signal configurations and logic to control the relay actuation. For example, using the math function or, you can actuate the relay with a maximum of four different input signals. Conversely, by using the or function and setting the Actuation Direction to down, you can actuate on the minimum signal of the four control signals inputs. The fields in this section of the Output Relay Setup window are described below.
Control signal X (4 fields) Setpoint (4 fields) Hysteresis (4 fields)
Allows you to select up to four input modules and/or relay states, the measured values of which, when compared to the setpoints, actuate or de-actuate the relay according to the logic of the matrix. Allows you to select a value corresponding to the control signal, which, when it equals or exceeds the setpoint value, meets the conditions to actuate the relay in that column. Allows you to select a switching differential required to de-actuate the relay. Without hysteresis, a relay could toggle on and off rapidly when the control signal reaches the setpoint value, causing stress on relay circuits. The hysteresis prevents this by providing a dead band between on and off. Example: If there is only one signal controlling the relay and the Actuation direction field (see below) is set to up, when the control signal reaches the setpoint value, the relay actuates. The relay deactuates only when the control signal falls below the setpoint value minus the hysteresis. Select up to actuate the relay when the input signal becomes greater than the setpoint value. Select down to actuate the relay when the input signal becomes less than the setpoint value. Example: You could use the up actuation direction for rising temperature values and the down actuation for alarming on low oil level values.
Actuation direction (4 fields)
71

Math Expression (3 fields) Allows you to enter a math function in each of the three available fields. The first and third fields allow the math functions or, and, and minus. The second field allows only or and and. The minus function(s) are first evaluated in the matrix math expression. Otherwise, the overall equation is evaluated from left to right. Example: If the Matrix table is set up as: Control Signal 1 Control Signal 2 Control Signal 3 Control Signal 4
or
or
minus
The system will evaluate this as: ((Control Signal 1 OR Control Signal 2) OR (Control Signal 3 MINUS Control Signal 4)). Auxiliary Setpoint and Low Temperature Lockout Feature The original IED509 had a feature for an auxiliary current setpoint and a low temperature lockout feature. This has now been incorporated into the relay matrix and can be accomplished using the following example: 1. Set Control Signal 1 to WINDING, Setpoint to 80.00 ( C), and Actuation Direction to up. 2. Set the first (far left) Math Expression to or. 3. Set Control Signal 2 set to WINDING - current, Setpoint to 500.00 (Amps), and Actuation Direction to up. 4. Set the middle Math Expression to and. 5. Set Control Signal 3 to AMBIENT, Setpoint to 10.00 ( C), and Actuation Direction to up. The system will evaluate the relay if the winding temperature or winding current exceed the setpoints and will actuate the relay only if the ambient temperature is above 10 C.
Cancel and Load Buttons

Output Loops
The Output Loops Setup window opens when you click [Output Loops] from the Setup window. This window allows you to configure the two current loop output channels. The 505ITM is equipped with two software selectable 0 - 1 mA or 4 - 20 mA (0 - 10 mA on request) outputs to provide information to Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems or remote indications. You can configure each output to send data from any of the inputs or send a derived calculation, such as:

the maximum value of up to three inputs, or a difference calculation between two input modules
To begin, click the tab of the output loop that you want to configure. The Output Loops Setup window displays for the selected output loop.

505ITM Hardware & Software Manual Loop Parameters

This section of the Output Loops Setup window includes the fields described below.
Output Loop Loop function Loop type
Displays the number of the analog current loop that is to be configured. Allows you to enable or disable the output loop operation. Allows you to select between current loop ranges of 0 - 1 mA and 4 - 20 mA.
Note:
If requested at the time the monitor is ordered, this field can be made to select between current loop ranges of 0 - 1 mA and 0 10 mA.
Custom Range
This section of the Output Loops Setup window allows you to select the value range for the current loop output. Example: An RTD measures temperatures from -40 - 120 C. You select an output of 4 - 20 mA and a custom range of 0 - 100. For temperature measurements of:

40 - 0 C, the current loop output will read 4 mA 0 - 100 C, the output will correspond directly to 4 - 20 mA
Any temperature measurement over 100 C will continue to read 20 mA. The fields in this section of the Output Loops Setup window are described below.
Use Custom Range Minimum Maximum
Allows you to activate the custom scaling of the analog outputs by clicking to put a check mark in the check box. Allows you to enter a value that corresponds to 0 mA for a 0 - 1 mA output, or 4 mA for a 4 - 20 mA output loop. Allows you to enter a value that corresponds to 1 mA for a 0 - 1 mA
74

output, or 20 mA for a 4 - 20 mA output loop.
75
Loop Controlled
This section of the Output Loops Setup window allows up to three different input measurements and two math functions to correspond to the analog output loop. You can set up the current output loops to be controlled by one of these three options:

a single input measurement the maximum value of up to three input parameters the difference between two inputs
The fields in this section of the Output Loops Setup window are described below.
Control Signal 1, 2, 3 (3 fields) Math Expression
Allows you to select the input module(s) that will control the current loop output. Allows you to select the math expression(s) used for selecting maximum values or difference measurements corresponding to the output current loop value.
Bank Switching
The Bank Switching Setup window opens when you click [Bank Switching] from the Setup window. This window configures the cooling circuit management feature. This feature provides a method for evenly spreading the wear of cooling equipment between two or more different cooling groups. Example: If Relay 1 activates a cooling group at 60 C, and Relay 2 activates another cooling group at 75 C, the first group will be used more extensively than the second group. By periodically switching the relay functions, the wear is spread evenly between the two groups. To set up the Cooling Circuit Management section of the Bank Switching Setup window: 1. Determine two relays to be exchanged. 2. In the entry field for the first relay, select the second relay from the drop-down field. 3. In the entry field for the second relay, select the first relay from the drop-down field. Example: If you want to bank switch Relays 2 and 4, select Relay 4 in the Relay 2 field, and select Relay 2 in the Relay 4 field.
76
You can bank switch more than two relays in a loop, but this can only be accomplished if the bank switching loop is closed or completed after the setup. This means that the last relay of the bank switching loop must select the first relay of the loop. Example: If Relay 2 selects Relay 3, and Relay 3 selects Relay 4, you must set up Relay 4 to select Relay 2 since Relay 2 was the start of the bank switching loop. The bank switching is accomplished by exchanging all the matrix controls of the selected relay with the one selecting it. This occurs at midnight each night so if you were to view the relay settings on any two consecutive days, you would notice the changes.

It is not required if the winding temperature input module is not a fiber optic probe, or for the Consumed Life and Temperature Profiling features. This field is not required for a 505ITM.
79
Consumed Life
The 505ITM calculates relative life consumption according to IEEE standards. These standards are based on the Arrhenius formulas for deterioration of organic insulation material with time and temperature. Each 6 - 8 degree increase in temperature approximately doubles the rate of life decay. Based on the cumulative exponential affects of temperature over time, life consumption metering helps to prioritize maintenance activities between transformers. It also helps to equalize the load between transformers to maximize system life and minimize maintenance. This section of the TranslifeTM Setup window includes the fields described below.
Life Consumption Formula Variables
Depending on the application, allows you to select different Unity Hot Spot Temperatures by entering the corresponding constants. Unity Hot Spot Temperature is defined as the value of the winding temperature at which exactly one hour of consumed life has occurred. The 505ITM uses the IEEE Std C57.91-1995 and CEI/IEC 354:1991 for calculating the transformer loss of life in its life-consumption equations. Both standards use Montsingers rule of thermal degradation, which is a simplified version of Arrhenius Law of General Chemical/Thermal Degradation. See the following table for recommended values. A B Unity Hot Spot Temperature ( C) -11.269 6328.8 -11.968 6328.8 -11.804 6328.8 -13.391 6972.15 110 95 98 101 Recommended for 65 C insulation Recommended for 55 C insulation IEC 354:1991 specification Notes

Critical Forecast
This section of the TranslifeTM Setup window allows you to set up the Critical Forecast feature. For the present loading conditions, the Critical Forecast can predict how long it will take the winding temperature to reach a given critical temperature. Before you use the Critical Forecast feature:
Check that values are entered in the Oil Rise Temperature and Oil Time Constant fields for the winding temperature input module. See Winding Temperature Setup for more information about these parameters. Check that input modules are selected in the Ambient Temperature Input Module # and Oil Temperature Input Module # fields in the TransLifeTM Control section of the TransLifeTM Setup window.

Allows you to enter three temperature values for monitoring the time it takes for the winding temperature to reach the present load conditions.
Displays the time calculated for the winding temperature to reach the critical setpoint values, given the present loading, oil/winding temperatures, and ambient conditions. If the number displayed is 0.00 hours, the winding temperature has already reached the critical point. If 99.9 hours are displayed, the winding temperature will never reach the critical point, given these loading conditions.
82
Temperature Profiler
This section of the TransLifeTM Setup window allows you to configure the Temperature Profiler. The Temperature Profiler has 12 ranges of temperature values - six ranges each above and below the value in the Unity Temperature field. The Temperature Profiler monitors how many hours the measured winding temperature remains in each temperature range. This provides you with a visual indication of how and when the transformer has been used in conjunction with the consumed life value, and it provides a more accurate indication of the total loss of life of the transformer. The ranges are divided into six-degree increments, because the consumed life of a transformer doubles for approximately every six degree rise in temperature. The Temperature Profiler section includes the fields described below.
Unity Temperature
Allows you to enter a temperature value where one hour of operating time equals one hour of consumed life. If the Unity Temperature parameter is unknown, use the recommended values from the table provided in the Consumed Life section. The 12 temperature legends are displayed after you: 1. Enter a temperature value in the Unity Temperature field. 2. Press [Load]. 3. Re-enter the TransLifeTM Setup window. The legends will be in 12 ranges, 6 below the Unity Temperature and 6 above.
Temperature Legends
12 Temperature Range Fields Graph Button
Display the amount of hours the selected winding temperature remained in each range. Displays a bar graph of the 12 temperature ranges. The 6 blue ranges indicate the operating times that exceeded the consumed life rate. Conversely, 6 red ranges indicate the consumed life that exceeded the operating time.

Calibrating a Level Gauge to the 505ITM

Overview
All of the input modules on the 505ITM are calibrated at Qualitrol, except for the Potentiometer (Level Gauge) input modules. These modules and sensor inputs are specific to the transformer with which they are associated and must be calibrated on the transformer. This procedure provides the steps for calibrating a Level Gauge to a 509 ITM.
CAUTION: Except for the Potentiometer (Level Gauge) Input Modules, the input
modules of the 505ITM are calibrated using highly precise measurement equipment. If you inadvertently try to calibrate the wrong input module, you might cause the 505ITM to malfunction. Calibrate only the Potentiometer input module. When you are finished, immediately exit the Calibration tool.
Before You Begin

1. Connect the potentiometer output wires of the Level Gauge to the 505ITM. See the Hardware Instructions for details. 2. Check that the wiring is correct by adjusting the case face to raise and lower the dial pointer. Observe the front LCD display of the 505ITM.

As you raise the pointer, the displayed value should increase. As you lower the pointer, the displayed value should decrease.
If the 505ITM is not operating correctly, check the wiring before you begin the calibration procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 505ITM

Q: A: In the Simple CT Temperature Scaling Setup window, what is the Oil Temperature Adder? And where do I get the values for the other three variables? The Simple Calculation Setup Method, which uses the Simple CT Temperature Scaling Setup window, calculates the winding temperature of the transformer by using the oil temperature of the transformer and the load or current running through the windings. The RTD input module that measures this oil temperature is the Oil Temperature Adder. The other three variables in this section of the window are: Winding Rise Temperature Current Factor Winding Time Constant
You can determine the values for these variables from the Transformer Test Report that is included with the transformer. The temperature rise (or delta T) is the hot spot temperature of the winding over the oil temperature at a given load. You can calculate the current by using these steps: 1. Divide the secondary kVA by the secondary voltage. 2. Divide by the instrumentation CT ratio that is being used to give you the load current for that delta T rise. Example: The transformer is a 14000 kVA with a winding of 34400 V. The instrumentation CT is 1200 : 5. 14000 kVA divided by 34400 V equals 407 Amp 407 Amp divided by 1200/5 (or 240) equals 1.69 Amp
The same report indicates that the hot spot rise over fluid is 12.7 C. Therefore, in the Simple CT Temperature Scaling Setup window, enter: 12.7 C in the Winding Rise Temperature field 1.69 Amp in the Current Factor field
If no value for the Winding Time Constant field is provided on the Transformer Heat Run Test Report and the manufacturer cannot supply it, then the IEEE Std C57.91 recommends using a number between 5 and 8 minutes. Q: A: What is a time constant? The time constant is the time that it takes for the winding temperature to reach 63.2% of its full value for a given current load. That means for a given load on a transformer, it will take approximately 5 time constants for the winding temperature to reach its final value. So if the time constant is 6 minutes, it will take the winding temperature 30 minutes (5 time constants 6 minutes) to reach full temperature for a given load.
97

Q: A: What do I do if there isnt a Transformer Heat Run Test Report? First, call the transformer manufacturers to see if they have a copy of the test report. If they do not, ask if they have a test report for a similar transformer type or if there are any specifications mounted directly onto the transformer. If none of this information is available and this is a retrofit project, do the following: 1. Read the mechanical winding gauge and subtract the oil measurement. 2. Measure the current coming directly off the instrumentation CT. 3. Enter these two values into the remote software. If you select method 3, the closer to full load that the transformer is running, the more accurate the values for entering into the system. Q: A: What is the difference between failsafe and non-failsafe for a relay? In the 505ITM, Qualitrol uses Form C relays. These relays have three contacts: normally open, normally closed, and common. When the monitor has no power applied, the common and normally closed contacts are shorted together, while the common and normally open contacts are open. For a non-failsafe relay, when power is applied to the 505ITM, the relay contacts are shorted on the common/normally closed side and open on the common/normally open side. (This is the same situation as if no power was supplied to the monitor.) When the controlling input signal reaches the setpoint, the relay changes states so that the common/normally open side is shorted (closed) and the common/normally closed side is open. A non-failsafe relay only changes states when the setpoint is exceeded. This is the reason the trip function is normally assigned to a nonfailsafe relay. When power is applied to the monitor with a failsafe relay, it immediately changes states so that the common/normally open side is shorted together and the common/normally closed side is open. If the controlling signal reaches the setpoint, or if power is removed from the monitor, the relay changes back to the common/normally closed state being shorted and the common/normally open state being open. It is for this reason that most alarms and cooling systems are connected to failsafe relays, because they will actuate if the setpoint is exceeded or if the monitor loses power. Q: A: How does the Latching Relay function work? A latched relay will actuate in the same manner as a non-latching relay when the setpoint conditions have been exceeded. The difference between a non-latching relay and a latching relay is that a non-latching relay will return to its pre-existing state when the setpoint conditions are no longer being exceeded. A latching relay will remain latched. A latched relay may only return to its pre-existing state if the setpoint conditions are no longer exceeded and the operator presses the RESET button on the front panel of the unit during the normal scrolling operation.
98

Q: A: What does it mean when the unit reads SENSOR ERROR or INVALID READING? If the 505ITM detects incorrect wiring, a broken wire, pinched insulation in the connector, or missing sensor on the RTD input module, it will display SENSOR ERROR. This alerts the user to investigate the RTD sensor and correct the situation. The INVALID READING will display for any CT, Temperature input modules that use an RTD probe that has a sensor error. The winding temperature is calculated from the current load and an oil temperature measurement. If the oil temperature measurement has a sensor error, any calculation will be invalid. Fixing the RTD issue will correct both the RTD sensor error and the invalid reading for the winding temperature. Are there any particular wiring methods for wiring a 505ITM? Wire the 505ITM according to your OEM/utility companys practices and industry standards. For those areas not covered, Qualitrol recommends the following: Separate all power wiring (supply power, relay outputs, etc.) from analog wiring (sensor inputs, current loop outputs, etc.) and digital wiring (RS-232, RS-485) in different conduits, if possible. Use shielded wire for all and twisted pairs for analog and digital wires. Shielding and twisted pair will minimize noise radiating to and from the wire. For all wiring, keep lengths as short as possible and use the heaviest gauge wire thats practical for the application. Wire has resistance and shorter lengths and thicker wire minimizes that resistance. Dress the wires so that none of the leads are pinched or strained, which might shorten the life of the cabling. What exactly is an RTD? RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector, and it is a device whose resistance changes directly proportional to changes in temperature. For a 100 ohm RTD, this is approximately 0.385 ohm per degree Celsius, and for a 10 ohm RTD, this is approximately 0.0385 ohm per degree Celsius. See the following chart for resistance values of the two types of RTDs at points of interest. RTD Type 10 ohm RTD 100 ohm RTD -40C 7.490 ohm 84.27 ohm 0C 9.035 ohm 100.0 ohm 25C 10.00 ohm 109.73 ohm 120C 13.669 ohm 146.06 ohm
Q: A:
Q: A:
Because of the small resistance values in an RTD sensor, Qualitrol recommends a maximum of 75 feet of cable length. A typical application to measure the resistance (temperature) changes in an RTD is for a monitor to send an excitation current through the RTD and then measure the voltage across the device. This voltage is then translated to the appropriate temperature value by the monitor. Because an RTD is a resistive device, you must take the wire resistance into account when doing any accurate measurement calculations. This can be accomplished in different ways. One way is to send the excitation current through its own pair of wires and measure the voltage across another pair of wires using only sensing current. The excitation current will be great enough to make a large
99

voltage value, while the sensing current will be small to negate any wire resistance from being detected. This is the basis for a four-wire RTD measurement and is considered one of the most accurate. The 505ITM can accomplish the same accuracy of a four-wire measurement using only three wires by measuring the wire resistance in one leg of the RTD and subtracting the resistance temperature twice. For that reason, if you are trying to connect a four-wire RTD sensor to the 505ITM, tie off one of the legs so that it is not connected to the terminal block. Q: A: Why does the RTD sensor read either -50 C or 130 C, instead of the correct value? The measurement range of the RTD sensor is from -40 - 120 C, but the 509 ITM will over-range to -50 C or 130 C when one of the following occurs: 1. The wrong sensor is installed: a 10 ohm RTD sensor is connected to a 100 ohm input module, or a 100 ohm RTD sensor is connected to a 10 ohm input module.
Verify that the RTD sensor type matches the label on the back of the 509 ITM dust cover. If the two of these do not match, do one of the following: obtain the correct sensor type, or contact Qualitrol about updating the 505ITM unit in the field (purchasing a new module and getting an update software disk).
2. The calibration for the RTD Input Module has been altered or overwritten. If the 505ITM was incorrectly recalibrated in the field, reinstall the factory calibration settings. See Using the Factory Calibrator Application Tool (Advanced users only) in the Software Instructions. Q: A: How do I specify and use the clamp-on CT? Clamp-on CTs are used with the current input modules and CT, temperature input modules for calculating simulated winding temperature. Since they are a clamp-on device, they offer a physical isolation from the transformer and the sensing device The question sometimes arises of how much burden this CT sensor places on the transformer. The burden is so small that it can only be measured in a laboratory, so for all practical purposes the answer is zero as sensed by the transformer. The output of the clamp-on sensor is from 0 - 0.333 V AC for the entire sensing range. (0 - 10 Amp AC in corresponds linearly to 0 - 0.333 V AC out.) The clamp-on CTs have an accuracy of 1% over the full measurement range specified for that CT. Therefore, when selecting a clamp-on CT for the application, the CT rating should be as close as possible without being less than the maximum value it will be measuring. The label value on the clamp-on CT should match the CT clamp-on sensor rating value. See Input Modules in the Software Instructions.
