General information The MSESNE DGA 9 device is a permanently installed multiple “gas-in-oil” analysis system. It enables the individual measurement of oil moisture (H O) and the key gases dissolved in the oil: hydrogen (H carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO ), methane (CH ), acetylene (C ), ethylene (C...
Mountinginstructions Installation position ® The installation location is very important for the correct function of the MSENSE DGA 9. There are three possible installation locations in the case of a typical transformer: Pos. 1 Cooler return line: ® Install the MSENSE DGA 9 on a straight pipe section at the connection between the un- derside of the cooler and the transformer tank.
Safety notes on installation The following safety notes must be strictly followed during installation. Otherwise no warranty claims can be made. Never remove the protective cap of the connecting thread before you are ready to install the device at the transformer valve. This cap protects the connection unit from damage by dust and other foreign matter.
Page 16
® Never operate the MSENSE DGA 9 on a close transformer valve for longer periods. Please remove the device if this can not be prevented. Always heed the removal instructions. ® Never install the MSENSE DGA 9 on a knee pipe or pipe bend on the in- take side of the cooling system pump!! Turbulence in pipe bends can result in a vacuum that can cause problems on the device.
Page 17
Safety gloves must be worn during mounting of the device. If the unit is to be installed over 1 m, the use of personal protective equipment to prevent falling and specially trained personnel are neces- sary. The high weight means two people are required for mounting the unit. Use lifting equipment.
Preparing installation A visual inspection must be carried out on the device before installation. For this purpose, unscrew the two knurled screws and then remove the device protective cover. All the connector plugs, cables and hoses must be connected. 4.3.1 Mechanical connection DGA 9 has an external thread of the type G 1½"’...
4.3.2 Supply voltage connection The MSENSE® DGA 9 is available in 4 different voltage versions (please ensure to specify when or- dering). Depending on which nominal voltage version is being used, the following alternating or direct current connection (in the form of a 3-pin mains connection cable) must be present near to the de- vice: Nominal voltage version MSENSE®...
4.3.4.2 Thread adhesive ® ® We recommend the two Henkel products LOCTITE 7471 (activator) and LOCTITE 577 (seal and ® securing) in combination.

Installation Once installation preparations have been completed, the MSENSE® DGA 9 can be installed. Installa- tion is divided into 3 steps: • Mechanical installation [4.4.1] • Electrical connection [4.4.2] • Initial start-up (4.4.3) 4.4.1 Mechanical installation The sequence for mechanical installation depends on the connection on the transformer side. There are 2 basic types of mechanical installation: •...

4.4.1.1.1 Direct mounting with thread sealing tape • Use a dry cloth / paper towel to clean the inside of the threaded flange. • Use a dry cloth / paper towel to clean the external thread of the connecting unit. Remove any residual thread sealing tape completely from the external thread.
Page 23
• Wind 3 to 15 layers of thread sealing tape (depending on the thread's characteristics) tightly in the clockwise direction (seen from the back) around the connecting thread of the MSENSE® DGA 9. The first thread groove should remain free. •...
Page 24
• Screw the MSENSE® DGA 9 2 or 3 times clockwise by hand into the threaded flange. • Now use an M55 open-ended spanner or a 1 ½" adjustable spanner to screw the MSENSE® DGA 9 by a further 5 or 6 turns clockwise into the threaded flange and stop when the vent screw is in the 9 o'clock position.
Page 25
• ® Now align the MSENSE DGA 9 by turning it clockwise until the vent screw is at the 12 o'clock position at the top. Make sure the device is fitted firmly in this final position. Remark: The device may only be aligned by turning clockwise. As soon as the device is turned anti-clockwise for alignment, mounting must be carried out again! Note!!! When thread sealing tape is used, screwing the device beyond the 12...
Page 26
Note!!! The following steps must be carried out in accordance with company procedures. Work carefully and prevent air getting into the transformer. Use a bucket to collect any leaking oil. • Unscrew the vent screw by 3 or 4 turns anti-clockwise using the long size 4 hexagon key (vent- ing is active).

Page 31
• ® Apply LOCTITE 7471 (activator) by spraying or brushing it onto both sealing faces. During ® spraying, the openings (transformer gate valve and MSENSE DGA 9) must be covered/sealed by a clean cloth / paper towel. • Allow the activator to flash off completely in a well ventilated room until the surface is completely dry.
Page 32
• Place the MSENSE® DGA 9 horizontally onto the threaded flange. Make sure the device does not twist. • Screw the MSENSE® DGA 9 2 or 3 times clockwise by hand into the threaded flange. 7045899/02 EN – 11.2020 ® MSENSE DGA 9 Page 32...
Page 33
• Now use an M55 open-ended spanner or a 1½" adjustable spanner to screw the MSENSE® DGA 9 by a further 5 or 6 turns clockwise into the threaded flange and stop when the vent screw is in the 9 o'clock position. Remark: If the unit can be screwed in without a great deal of effort being necessary, too little thread sealing adhesive has been used.
Page 34
• We recommend that you wait for 30 minutes before you continue with the further installation steps. The thread adhesive only cures under pressure i.e. in the thread grooves of the pipe connection. For this reason, any excessive thread adhesive should be removed using a clean cloth.

RS 485 Wiring This chapter focuses on the wiring of the RS485 connection. RS485 ® The RS485 interface, which is integrated in the MSENSE DGA 9 is designed as a 3-conductor inter- face. The 3 conductors are fitted to the terminal clamps KL302 (RS485 Phone) at pin 1, 2 and 3, which ®...
• Should a fault occur again in the device, read out the service data once again. • Send the read out service data (ZIP file) to the MR service e-mail specified on page 2 and await a response. 9.1.2 Brief instructions by way of remote diagnosis Execute the following points in succession: •...
9.1.3 Gas extraction principle The “gas-in-oil” analysis system MSENSE® DGA 9 is based on the so-called “headspace” principle, which extracts the erroneous gases from the transformer oil. The complete extraction and measuring device consists of the following components: Connection unit, valves, pneumatic hoses, oil pump, vac- uum compressor, flow measurement, filling level sensors, pressure monitor, oil separator, extraction unit (extraction chamber with humidity and temperature sensor and heater), measurement cell with heating and front panel complete (measuring and control card with alphanumeric keyboard and dis-...
Fault – Signalling 9.1.5 A fault state is indicated by a flashing, large warning symbol in the main menu and extraction status menu or by a small, flashing warning symbol in the status list (top left). Faults – Analysis and acknowledgement options 9.1.6 A fault must be reset by the user.
9.1.6.2 Brief instruction on reading out service data This quick guide should help you to read out the service data using the MSET DGA Service Tool. Please consult the detailed description, should you require more detailed information. • Extract the MSET DGA Service Tool in the desired directory (zip file) •...
9.1.6.4 Fault - Extraction status menu The extraction status menu also indicates the fault. There may be a problem within the oil itself (debris or dirt) or in the air hose system (leak) that is not identifiable as oil contamination in the unit or the device’s protective hood.
If a fault should re-occur, the service data must be re-read out from the device by means of the MSENSE® DGA 9 Service Tool . The read-out service data must be sent to the MR Service De- partment (see page 2) for analysis. Please now wait for the MR Service Department report before taking any further action.
• Optional: RS232 communication interface (internal RS232 or USB to RS232 adapter) Sequence diagnostics – Data read 9.1.7.3 To read out service data using the MSET DGA Service Tool, proceed as follows. 9.1.7.3.1 Connection and start The device from the MSENSE® DGA family must be connected to the network interface via a network cable or via a serial cable to the PC’s free COM interface.
