Rev. 1.0,  

30-Jul-18

 

 

The  internal  clock  (see  Section  2.3.4.2)  provides  the  date  and  time  unless  the 

battery (see Section 2.3.4.1) is disconnected. 

 

3.2.3

 

Relay Setup 

3.2.3.1

 

Relay Test 

The 

Relay Test

 parameters are used to set the operation mode of each of the five 

relays.  The four operation modes are explained in Section 6.5.3. 

3.2.3.2

 

Relay#1 Setup to Relay#4 Setup 

These four options display all alarm conditions assigned to a relay. They are used 

to  assign  new  alarms,  or  to  remove  some,  to  each  of  the  four  alarm  relays.  
Individual  alarm  conditions  can  also  be  assigned  to  a  relay  through  parameters 

Alarm  L-L  Relay

Alarm

 

Low  Relay

,

  Alarm  Hi  Relay 

and

  Alarm  Hi-Hi  Relay 

from

 

Alarms > Alarms Setup 

(see

 

Section 3.3.2). 

 

3.2.4

 

Temp Setup 

The 

Temp.  Setup

  parameters  pertain  to  the  operation  of  the  Hydran  M2-X

’s 

heater plate and dynamic oil sampling system. 

 

Temp  Set  Point

:    Set  point  of  the  sensor  temperature  (average  target 

temperature of the

 

heater plate). The default value is 35 °C. 

 

Temp SP Modulation

:  Temperature variation around the

 Temp Set Point

.  For

 

example:  if 

Temp Set Point

 is set to the recommended temperature of 35 °C 

(95  °F)  and 

Temp  SP  Modulation 

to  10  °C  (18  °F),  the  temperature  varies 

between 30 and 40 °C

 

(86 and 104 °F). 

 

Temp Mod. Period

:  Modulation period of the temperature variation.  If

 Temp 

Mod.  Period 

is  set  to  120  minutes  (default  value)  in  the  above  example;  it 

takes 120 minutes

 

for the heater plate temperature to go from 35 to 40 to 35 

to 30 to 35 °C (from 95 to 104 to 95 to 86 to 95 °F). 

For more information on the dynamic oil sampling system, see Section 2.5. 

3.2.5

 

Calibration 

The 

Calibration

 function is used to calibrate the following analog inputs: 

 

The gas sensor signal. 

 

The moisture sensor signal. 

 

The thermistor in the sensor. 

 

The thermistors in the heater plate.
