Qualitrol 118 ETM Dry Type Transformer Monitor The Model 118 Series Electronic Temperature Monitor (ETM) monitors up to three (3) ventilated Dry-Type transformer windings. The ETM operates relays by comparing the highest winding temperature to stored set point temperatures and displays three (3) thermocouple inputs as well as the stored maximum temperature and its associated winding. The unit provides Fan, Alarm, and Trip circuitry. A fuse protected high contact rating SPST contact is provided for fan control. A yellow LED indicates that fans are on. A fan exerciser circuit turns the fans on automatically at periodic intervals to prevent fan motor seizing (on-time and interval is programmable). As an option, a second set of SPST contacts with separate fusing can be specified.
SPDT contacts are provided for notification of alarm conditions. A red LED illuminates to indicate that the alarm is actuated. An internal audible buzzer also sounds when the unit goes into alarm condition. This audible buzzer can be silenced without canceling the alarm. The alarm relay is fail-safe (normally energized when the unit is powered up). If supply power to the ETM is interrupted, the alarm circuit changes state for notification of this condition. The alarm circuit is also used for notification of an open or missing thermocouple. If a thermocouple were to open, the alarm relay operates and the corresponding channel will read "-" on the LED display. It is important to note that a failed thermocouple will not cause the device to trip the transformer off-line.
One (1) set of SPDT contacts are provided to trip the transformer off-line if any of the winding temperatures exceed the trip setting. A red LED indicates that the trip relay has actuated.
A test function is provided to: test the digital display and all of the LEDs; display the stored set points; check the internal temperature of the monitor.
A 0-1 mA (std.) or 4-20 mA (optional) signal is provided for remote indication or for use with SCADA systems.
