Apply RTV silicon sealant around the edge of the MMTS. This helps keep out moisture 
and aids in the adhesion. 

Note: No RTV silicon is supplied with the product.

 

If installing more than one MMTS, they must be wired in series ensuring that the 

last

 

MMTS on the CANbus line is 

MMTS #1

. Keep a record of which MMTS is installed to which 

single phase transformer so that the product can be commissioned accordingly. See 
Table 9-7: Results at the end of Section 9. MMTS #1 has a cable gland, a blanking plug 
and an internally fitted termination resistance on the PCB between H and L. 

A 20-metre 4-wire CANbus cable (Belden 8729) is supplied with the product to connect 
the MMTS (see Appendix A). 

Note: 

Additional cabling may have been purchased. 

Route the cable from the MMTS(s) to the product cabinet, cutting as required. Figure 
9-21 
to Figure 9-22 illustrate the terminal connections inside the MMTS. Figure 9-24 
shows the CANbus connection inside the cabinet. 

Notes: 

 

The shield is connected to the ground of the CANbus terminal block (see Figure 9-24)

 

It is advisable that the cables are run inside a plastic conduit to provide protection 
against mechanical damage. 

 

The cable must be properly inserted into the cable gland. The dome nut of the cable 
gland is torqued to a recommended 1.62 N m (14.4 lb in) using a torque wrench. 

 

Figure 9-21: MMTS #1 with jumper 

 

Figure 9-22: MMTS #2/3 without jumper 

Ensure that the label number of the MMTS matches the phase / transformer to which it 

is mounted. For top oil mappings, refer to Section 10.1 General Settings in ‘MA

-040 

 

DGA 900 Plus 

 Operator 

Guide’.

 

 

At installation, the MMTS should be oriented with the cable gland pointing 
down as shown in Figure 9-19. This will minimise the risk of water ingress 
to the sensors.
