  • Page 28 Manual A1-Sensors English Inputting oil-specific parameters for the calculation of water content: Dependent on the type of oil, different parameters are required to calculate/display the water content in ppm. These sets of parameters describe the saturation behaviour of the oils and can be obtained from the manufacturer on request. The parameter (A=-1663.3 / B=7.37) is provided by the manufacturer to calculate water content for mineral transformer oil.
  • Page 29 Manual A1-Sensors English The oil-specific parameter A (-1999.9...100.0) is entered via special function F1 and parameter B (0.00...20.00) is entered via special function F2. It is only possible to enter the parameters (A and B) via the special functions F1 and F2 when water content x [ppm] has been selected as the measurement variable.
