  • Page 6: General

    General The HYDROCAL 1005 is a permanently-installed multi-gas-in-oil analysis system with transformer monitoring functions. It allows for the individual measurement of moisture and the key gases hydro- gen (H ), carbon monoxide (CO), acetylene (C ) and ethylene (C ) dissolved in transformer oil. As hydrogen (H ) is involved in nearly every fault of the isolation system of power transformers and carbon monoxide (CO) is a sign of an involvement of the cellulosic / paper isolation the presence and...

    Pos. 4 Never install the HYDROCAL1005 unit on top of the cooler or on the suction face of the pump. In this case, filling oil step cannot be carried out in the right way.

  • Page 8: Security Precautions For Installation

    The HYDROCAL 1005 should be installed on positions located 100 cm be- low of the oil level inside the transformer Never install the HYDROCAL1005 unit on an elbow or curve of a tube. The unit cannot operate by negative pressure produced by turbulences in curves.
  • Page 9 Never install or remove the HYDROCAL1005 without opening first the aeration screw. Never use galvanized fittings or valves to mount the HYDROCAL1005 unit. Galvanized fittings or valves can react with oil; this will produce incorrect measuring values. Never clean the HYDROCAL1005 unit with high pressure cleaning equipment.

  • Page 64 For communication with a HYDROCAL device only the two-wire half-duplex mode is of interest. This mode requires a kind of send/receive-control which is either ART (Automatic Receive Transmit con- trol) or a manual control (e.g. via the RTS signal). Further the adapter may echo the send out data. The two checkboxes in the HydroSoft Connection dialog must mirror the properties of the adapter: ...

Once an instance of HydroSoft is working on a data directory no second instance of HydroSoft can operate on the same data. This locking is introduced to keep data integrity in case a user is running HydroSoft and a back- ground instance of HydroSoft (started via the Windows task scheduler) also tries to work on the data.
