Operation Manual 1. INTRODUCTION The GRIDSCAN 5000 Hydrogen Monitor is designed to detect and measure hydrogen as a component of transformer oil. The hydrogen-specific, solid-state sensing element is designed for ease of use and interface flexibility. The GRIDSCAN 5000 is an online hydrogen monitoring sensor for various classes of transformers and other oil- filled devices.
Figure 1: GRIDSCAN 5000 Dimensions 2.3 PHYSICAL BARRIER A physical barrier between the hydrogen sensor and remainder of the GRIDSCAN 5000 assembly includes a hermetic glass-to-metal feedthrough for electrical connections and gaskets to complete the gas-tight seal. 2.4 ELECTRICAL FEATURES The GRIDSCAN 5000 Hydrogen Monitor has a single four-pin M12 connector for power and communications.
Power Consumption 3.1 TEMPERATURE SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS The temperature sensor incorporated in the GRIDSCAN 5000 is a resistive temperature device (RTD). Accuracy (in oil @20 °C) = + 3 °C Repeatability (in oil over an oil temperature range of -40–+105 °C) = <1 °C 3.2 CERTIFICATIONS...
• EN 61326-1 • FM 6520 [in oil version only] 4. ELECTRICAL INTERFACE All electrical connections to the GRIDSCAN 5000 Hydrogen Monitor are supplied through a single four-pin M12 connector. 4.1 CONNECTOR The key (notch) location and pin numbers are shown in Table 3.
The GRIDSCAN 5000 does not include bias resistors for the Data lines which may need to be added at the SCADA end of the cable. A 120 ohm termination resistor, between Data+ and Data- is installed in the GRIDSCAN 5000.
• Keep the red protective cap in place until the time of installation. • Place a wrench on the metal housing closest to the threaded end when tightening. The GRIDSCAN 5000 is designed to handle torque throughout the whole sensor assembly enclosure.

• When installed in oil, provide a method to bleed all air from pipe fittings between sensor and oil tank. • Do not install monitor in turbulent oil flow. See Figure 4 for mounting locations. Figure 4: Typical Locations for GRIDSCAN 5000 Installation 90000177 R8 ECO 24-184...
5.2.1 Bleeding Air from the Installation Once the GRIDSCAN 5000 has been installed onto the desired location, any air trapped in the assembly must be removed. The following steps are general in nature and will depend on the specific hardware being used.
The grounding lug provides a secure earth ground connection to GRIDSCAN 5000 independent of the plumbing used to make an oil (or headspace) connection. 5.4.2 Conduit Adapter The conduit adapter provides a method of installing the GRIDSCAN 5000 cable in conduit from the control panel to the sensor. 5.4.3 Analog Output Adapter The analog output adapter converts the digital Modbus signal from the GRIDSCAN 5000 to a 4–20mA analog...
If the sensor element is damaged and inoperable, the GRIDSCAN 5000 will shut down the measurement system and continue responding to Modbus requests for error reporting. This error will be reported via register 111 bit 12 and details specified in registers 112,113.
