AKM 345 Gen2 Instruction Manual (Rev No. ECN-27992) General The AKM345 next generation, GEN2 for short, is a world class, robust CE approved fully weather proofed temperature indicator, used globally for electricity transformers. It is designed and manufactured for long and trouble free outdoor operation under all conditions. To secure maintenance-free operation, the installation on the transformer must be made with care.
AKM 345 Gen2 Instruction Manual (Rev No. ECN-27992) Tighten the screw in this position. • • Check that contact is obtained by slowly turning the shaft of the drum so that the • pointer of the temperature gauge moves towards higher values on the scale. The shaft of the drum must not be turned in the other direction since the calibration of the instrument may change.

AKM 345 Gen2 Instruction Manual (Rev No. ECN-27992) 5.3. Wiring the AKM345 Double Gradient Option 5.3.1. Background The Double Gradient option allows for setting two separate winding simulations in the same Winding Temperature Indicating Thermometer. The CT input is provided with two independently adjustable potentiometers for determining the heater current.
AKM 345 Gen2 Instruction Manual (Rev No. ECN-27992) The AKM 345 TD50(5 AMP) option allows for the input of up to 5 amps winding temperature simulation current without the expense or additional wiring required by an external matching unit. It is available with up to 4 switches. The 5 amp option employs an internal CT which accepts 5 amps at the primary and outputs 2.2 amps at the secondary.
AKM 345 Gen2 Instruction Manual (Rev No. ECN-27992) Re-connect the white separable connector. After the matching resistance has been set • and the white connector is re-mated, the winding simulation input current is wired to the terminal block at the 5-5 positions as shown.

AKM 345 Gen2 Instruction Manual (Rev No. ECN-27992) 12. Maintenance For the below mentioned executions, a regular control is suggested and if so required, also certain maintenance. 12.1. Protection Class IP 65 To eliminate the risk of condensation build up inside the instrument, the instruments are provided with two desiccant capsules.
13.2. Installation Instructions Qualitrol recommends using a separate shielded cable for the wiring to transmitters. This will help assure safe and trouble free operation. The cable should ONLY contain the signals and power supply for the TD Transmitter.
