Mounting Styles
Enclosure Style
The 509ITM is a 3R enclosure style, designed to be back-mounted on any smooth surface.
Four 0.31 × 0.50 in. oval slots are provided for use with fasteners. The monitor requires an
approximate area that is 13 inches in width, 16 inches in height, and 8.5 inches in depth. An
additional area below the monitor should be allowed for the wiring harness. See Mounting
the 509 ITM figure for mounting centers and dimensions.

Hardware and Software Instructions
Power Supply
Supply power is applied to Terminal Block TB1 terminals 14 and 15. For DC input, positive
voltage is applied to terminal 14, and ground or negative voltage is applied to terminal 15.
Chassis ground is applied to terminal 16, as shown in the Power Supply Connection figure.
This non-metallic enclosure does not automatically provide a common grounding lug.
Grounding must be provided as part of the installation, and it must be in accordance with the
requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) or any international code that is in effect.
For the optional 5 kV Impulse Unit supply power is applied to Terminal Block TB12 terminals
1, 3, and 5, as shown in the Power Supply Connection for 5 kV Impulse Unit figure.
The power supply has an internal removable fuse (the 5 kV Impulse Unit has no internal
fusing) if it becomes necessary to replace this fuse. The fusing must be replaced with the
same type and rating that was originally installed. Failure to do so may impact warranty
issues.
10
www.qualitrolcorp.com
Hardware and Software Instructions
Heater Option
If the Enclosure or Panel Mount monitor is supplied with the Heater Option, the supply
power, 120 or 240 VAC, as specified when ordering, is applied to Terminal Block TB1
terminals 1 and 17, as shown in the Heater Option Connection figure.
Qualitrol recommends that the heater circuit be installed with a fuse for safety and protection
purposes. The fuse is the responsibility of the installer. The rating of the heater is 120 VAC
and 100 W. A 240 VAC heater uses two of these heaters in a series, for a total of 200 W.
Qualitrol recommends installing a slow-blow fuse rated at 1.25 or 1.5 A, at 600 V.
If you are upgrading an existing Qualitrol device, or if the RTD you have installed is a four-
wire RTD, DO NOT connect the fourth wire in parallel with the third wire, this will adversely
affect the compensation scheme.
11
www.qualitrolcorp.com
Hardware and Software Instructions
If you have a fourth wire on the RTD connection, cut the fourth wire flush with the jacket.
Qualitrol recommends a maximum length of 75 feet for RTD cabling.
Note: Due to dimensional and mounting variations, the RTD, well, and connector must be
ordered separately and are available from Qualitrol.
CT Input Module
For each CT Input Module, one standard clamp on the CT, TRA-017-X, is required to
calculate winding temperature or currents. Input the current range as specified.
Pull the supplied Qualitrol clamp on CT Sensor apart and place the wire which carries the
current to be sensed, into the CT opening. Push the CT sensor back together and check that
it is fully engaged. As shown in the CT Input Connections figure, connect the output wires of
the clamp on CT to the terminal board.
CT Input Connections
The Qualitrol clamp-on CT sensor comes with 20 feet of cable. While it is not recommended
to run the wire longer than 20 feet, if the application requires a longer distance, splice the
longer cable as close to the clamp on sensor as possible. This replacement cabling should
consist of shielded twisted pair wire.
Note: Because the CT sensor is isolated from the transformer, the burden is so small it can
only be measured in a laboratory. For all practical purposes, the burden sensed by
the transformer is zero.

Hardware and Software Instructions
A Tap Position Input Module may be used with any 509ITM model, but it will only report the
tap position of the Load Tap Changer. To use the full capabilities of the Tap Position Module
a 509ITM-300 unit must be specified. For more information, see Tap Position Input Module
(509ITM-300), page 5.

Communications
The monitor comes equipped with digital communication capabilities. A four-wire, RS-485
connection is located on the back of the monitor. See the Four-Wire RS-485 Connection
figure. If the operator is using a two-wire, RS-485 connection with the 509 ITM, short
TXD+(B) with RXD+(B), and TXD-(A) with RXD-(A), then connect the two-wire, RS-485 as
an A/B system. There is also an option for a fiber optic connection. This option has been
tested using both the Black Box fiber optic modem line driver #ME540A-ST and the Dymec
line/repeater #5846-F-ST. See the Optional Fiber Optic Connection figure for the connection
to this option. The RS-485 connection may be used with the Qualitrol Remote Software
Package and other available protocols. Refer to the Software Instructions and the 509
Communications Manual, IST-100-X, for a complete description of these features. For
specific options and/or options for a special communications protocol, contact Qualitrol or
our authorized representative. NOTE: TB2-13 and TB2-16 are communication signal
grounds. They should never be connected to Earth Ground. If there is no isolated signal
ground coming from the other device then leaves TB2-13 unconnected.

Password Setup
This section of the System Settings window allows you to configure the passwords that
provide access for the different software tools. The passwords are stored in the 509ITM and
have the following characteristics and requirements:
Passwords consist of one to six alphanumeric characters, and they are case-sensitive.
The password for the User Setup tool is also the password used to enter the
modification section of the MENU Mode from the front panel of the 509ITM.
The password for the Calibrator tool must be different from the other tool passwords.
This is a precaution to prevent users from accidentally entering the calibration section
of the monitor.
There is a hierarchy to the password system. The password for the User Setup tool will
also work in the Monitor and Simulator tools, even if they have different passwords.
This is because all of the passwords can be changed in the User Setup tool, so it is
treated as the master password.
When passwords are changed in the Password Setup tool, the user must enter the
new password values the next time the tools are opened.
There are five Password fields and five corresponding Verify fields. The Password fields
accept the password values for the associated tools. The Verify fields are used to check the
corresponding password.

CT Current Parameters
If the Input Module Type field is set to "CT, Current" or ”CT, Temperature,” this section of
the Input Module Setup window provides linear scaling between the 509ITM output and the
actual current sensed by the Power Transformer CT. The fields in this section are described
below.
CT clamp-on Indicates the maximum rating of the CT clamp-on sensor used with this
sensor Rating module, for example, 10 Amp, 30 Amp). You can read this rating from the
clamp-on sensor. When selecting the sensor value, make sure that:
the maximum rating of the sensor value is greater than the current it
will be sensing. This will prevent saturation.
the sensor value is as close to the maximum current reading as
possible. This will optimize the resolution.
CT ratio Provides the parameters needed for CT Current Scaling. The left field
(2 fields) identifies the true current, such as winding or bushing, being sensed by
the instrumentation or metering CT. The right field identifies the
secondary or output of the instrumentation or metering CT that will be
used with the 509ITM Clamp-On CT Sensor.
Example: If the Instrument CT on the transformer has a ratio of 1200 : 5
Amps, the two CR ratio fields are set to CT Ratio = 1200 : 5. The clamp-
on sensor is on the 5 Amp circuit and now acknowledges that the 5 Amp
are passing through the CT to scale the current to the 1200 Amp range.

Matrix Controlled
This section of the Output Relay Setup window provides a variety of input signal
configurations and logic to control the relay actuation. For example, using the math function
“or”, you can actuate the relay with a maximum of four different input signals. Conversely, by
using the “or” function and setting the Actuation Direction to “down”, you can actuate on the
minimum signal of the four control signals inputs.
The fields in this section of the Output Relay Setup window are described below.
Control Allows you to select up to four input modules, relay states, and/or fiber
signal “X” optic probes, the measured values of which, when compared to the
(4 fields) setpoints, actuate or de-actuate the relay according to the logic of the
matrix.
Setpoint Allows you to select a value corresponding to the control signal, which,
(4 fields) when it equals or exceeds the setpoint value, meets the conditions to
actuate the relay in that column.
Hysteresis Allows you to select a switching differential required to de-actuate the
(4 fields) relay. Without hysteresis, a relay could toggle on and off rapidly when the
control signal reaches the setpoint value, causing stress on relay circuits.
The hysteresis prevents this by providing a “dead” band between on and
off.
Example: If there is only one signal controlling the relay and the
Actuation direction field (see below) is set to “up”, when the control
signal reaches the setpoint value, the relay actuates. The relay de-
actuates only when the control signal falls below the setpoint value minus
the hysteresis.
Actuation Select “up” to actuate the relay when the input signal becomes greater
direction than the setpoint value.
(4 fields) Select “down” to actuate the relay when the input signal becomes less
than the setpoint value.
Example: You could use the “up” actuation direction for rising temperature
values and the “down” actuation for alarming on low oil level values.

Bank Switching
The Bank Switching Setup window opens when you click [Bank Switching] from the Setup
window.
This window configures the cooling circuit management feature. This feature provides a
method for evenly spreading the wear of cooling equipment between two or more different
cooling groups.
Example: If Relay 1 activates a cooling group at 60 C, and Relay 2 activates another
cooling group at 75 C, the first group will be used more extensively than the second group.
By periodically switching the relay functions, the wear is spread evenly between the two
groups.
To set up the Cooling Circuit Management section of the Bank Switching Setup window:
1. Determine two relays to be exchanged.
2. In the entry field for the first relay, select the second relay from the drop-down field.
3. In the entry field for the second relay, select the first relay from the drop-down field.
Example: If you want to bank switch Relays 2 and 4, select “Relay 4” in the Relay 2 field,
and select “Relay 2” in the Relay 4 field.
80
www.qualitrolcorp.com
Hardware and Software Instructions
You can bank switch more than two relays in a loop, but this can only be accomplished if the
bank switching loop is closed or completed after the setup. This means that the last relay of
the bank switching loop must select the first relay of the loop.
Example: If Relay 2 selects “Relay 4”, and Relay 4 selects “Relay 6”, you must set up
Relay 6 to select “Relay 2”.
The bank switching is accomplished by exchanging all the matrix controls of the selected
relay with the one selecting it. This occurs at midnight each night so if you were to view the
relay settings on any two consecutive days, you would notice the changes.
Important: Relays that are assigned to alarm with the 509ITM-200 Cooling Monitor
feature or the 509ITM-300 Load Tap Changer Monitor feature should not be
used in bank switching.

Consumed Life
The 509ITM calculates relative “life consumption” according to IEEE standards. These
standards are based on the Arrhenius formulas for deterioration of organic insulation
material with time and temperature. Each 6 - 8 degree increase in temperature
approximately doubles the rate of life decay. Based on the cumulative exponential affects of
temperature over time, life consumption metering helps to prioritize maintenance activities
between transformers. It also helps to equalize the load between transformers to maximize
system life and minimize maintenance.
This section of the TranslifeTM Setup window includes the fields described below.
Life Depending on the application, allows you to select different Unity Hot
Consumption Spot Temperatures by entering the corresponding constants. Unity Hot
Formula Spot Temperature is defined as the value of the winding temperature at
Variables which exactly one hour of consumed life has occurred.
The 509ITM uses the IEEE Std C57.91-1995 and CEI/IEC 354:1991 for
calculating the transformer loss of life in its life-consumption equations.
Both standards use Montsinger’s rule of thermal degradation, which is a

Temperature Profiler
This section of the TransLifeTM Setup window allows you to configure the Temperature
Profiler. The Temperature Profiler has 12 ranges of temperature values - six ranges each
above and below the value in the Unity Temperature field.
The Temperature Profiler monitors how many hours the measured winding temperature
remains in each temperature range. This provides you with a visual indication of how and
when the transformer has been used in conjunction with the consumed life value, and it
provides a more accurate indication of the total loss of life of the transformer.
The ranges are divided into six-degree increments, because the consumed life of a
transformer doubles for approximately every six degree rise in temperature.
The Temperature Profiler section includes the fields described below.
Unity Allows you to enter a temperature value where one hour of operating
Temperature time equals one hour of consumed life. If the Unity Temperature
parameter is unknown, use the recommended values from the table
provided in the Consumed Life section.

Event Trigger
This section of the Event Recorder Setup window allows you to configure the event trigger
matrix to allow a variety of input signal configurations to control the event actuation.
Example: By setting the Math expression field to the “or” function, you can have the
system trigger the event with the maximum of four different input signals. Conversely, by
setting the “or” function and setting the Actuation direction field to “down”, you can have
the system trigger on the minimum signal of the four control signals inputs.
The Event Trigger section includes the fields described below.
Control Allows you to select up to four sensor inputs, relay status, and/or fiber
signal “X” optic probes the measured value of which, when compared to the
(4 fields) setpoints, triggers or clears the event according to the logic of the matrix.
Setpoint Allows you to select a value corresponding to the control signal, which
(4 fields) when it equals or exceeds the setpoint value, meets the conditions to
trigger the event.
Hysteresis Allows you to select a switching differential required to clear the event.
(4 fields) Without hysteresis, an event could toggle on and off rapidly when the
control signal reaches the setpoint value, causing a potential memory
overload of the event recorder. The hysteresis prevents this by providing
a “dead” band between on and off.
Example: If there is only one signal controlling the relay and the
Actuation direction field (see below) is set to “up”, when the control
signal reaches the setpoint value, it triggers the event. The event clears
only when the control signal falls below the setpoint value minus the
hysteresis.
Actuation Select “up” to trigger the event when the input signal becomes
direction greater than the setpoint value.
(4 fields) Select “down” to trigger the event when the input signal becomes less
than the setpoint value.
Example: You could use the “up” actuation direction for rising
temperature values, and the “down” actuation direction for alarming on
low oil level values.

System Overview
The QUALITROL 509ITM - DW (509 DW) incorporates all the features of the 509ITM, along
®
with the ability to measure direct winding temperatures using fiber optic probes and to
compare these measurements to calculated winding temperatures. Once the fiber optic
probes are installed (see IST-096-1 Fiber Optic Installation Guide for details), the 509 DW
continuously measures the probes and incorporates the readings into all the 509ITM
functions. This allows the direct measurements to be used in the following ways:
To automatically compare calculated and direct winding temperatures
As a control signal or input for use in the relay logic matrix
As current loop outputs
As locally displayed values
The advantage of measuring direct winding temperatures with fiber optic probes over
calculated winding temperatures is that it provides you with actual winding temperature
readings. The disadvantage of this method is that it does not take into consideration
transformer loading, ambient conditions, and oil temperatures. Therefore, you might not
know if the winding temperature values are normal for those conditions or if there is a
reason for alarm.
On the other hand, the calculated winding temperature uses formulas (IEEE and IEC
models) to calculate the winding temperature based on information from the heat run data
and current conditions. In contrast to the direct measurement, this method takes into
account transformer loading, ambient conditions, and oil temperatures. The disadvantage of
this method is that it assumes the transformer is operating as originally specified.
By using these two winding temperature measurement methods, direct probes and
calculated, together, the 509 DW can automatically detect error conditions in the transformer
by using the calculated winding temperature as a benchmark, which would be the ideal
temperature, compared to the direct winding measurement, which reports the actual
temperature.
Note: Fiber probes must be installed as the transformer is being manufactured or as the
windings are being rebuilt/re-wound. It is not possible to install fiber optic probes
without full access to the transformer windings.
Components
Fiber Optic Temperature Probe
The fiber optic probes are designed to be installed directly into the transformer windings.
See the Fiber Installation Guide. The fiber probes, CAB-699-X come in standard lengths
from 4 - 10 meters. Custom lengths are available.
Optical Feedthrough

www.qualitrolcorp.com
Hardware and Software Instructions
The fiber optic probes are terminated at the transformer wall by connecting them to an
optical feed-through, CON-159-1. These connectors allow the optical signal to transverse
the tank wall while preventing oil leakage.
Junction Box
To protect the optical feedthroughs and extension cables, Qualitrol provides a junction box,
COV-121-1, which covers the outside of the tank wall plate and allows access to the optical
connections cabling.
System Setup
Using an optical hot spot module with an analog connection
For 509 DW units using the current loop outputs of the optical hot spot module for
connecting to the 509 DW monitor, each output current loop must have a corresponding
current loop input module, MOD-626-1, installed in the 509 DW. The cabling between the
hot spot module and the 509 DW will come wired, and the jumpers on the current loop input
module will be configured at the factory.
The jumpers on the MOD-626-1 should be set to the following positions:
JP1 jumper positions 2 & 3
JP2 jumper positions 2 & 3
JP3 jumper positions 2 & 3
JP4 jumper positions 2 & 3

The relay delay timer may require a value that would be derived through experience with the
transformer because:
the direct winding measurement will react at a faster rate than the calculated winding
temperature, and
the calculated value is based on data from the original heat run and is heavily
dependent upon the accuracy of this data.
In the above example, relay will actuate if:
the Direct Measurement minus the Calculated Value exceeds 10 degrees, or
the Direct Measurement minus the Calculate Value falls below -5 degrees.
Important: Because of the variance in the temperature throughout the windings depends
on the location of the probe, measuring the winding temperature is unlikely to
perfectly match the calculated winding temperature. But the two values should
track relative to each other with time and conditions. Therefore, when
commissioning the 509 DW, taking some time to monitor the different winding
measurements is recommended to set the tracking window for the relay
matrix. This data can also be used to improve the winding temperature model.

NOTE: When first applying power to the 509ITM and Expansion Module it may take up to
45 seconds for the microprocessors to establish communications before the input
modules installed on the Expansion Module to take affect (e.g. on the LCD display,
control relays, etc.) in the 509ITM unit.
NOTE: After establishing communications any changes in the Expansion Module inputs will
be reflected in the 509ITM within 15 seconds. Therefore if the measurement of any
parameter is time critical, Qualitrol recommends installing that input module directly
in the 509ITM.

Q: What does it mean when the unit reads “SENSOR ERROR” or “INVALID
READING”?
A: If the 509ITM detects incorrect wiring, a broken wire, pinched insulation in the
connector, or missing sensor on the RTD input module, it will display “SENSOR
ERROR”. This alerts the user to investigate the RTD sensor and correct the
situation.
The “INVALID READING” will display for any “CT, Temperature” input modules that
use an RTD probe that has a sensor error. The winding temperature is calculated
from the current load and an oil temperature measurement. If the oil temperature
measurement has a sensor error, any calculation will be invalid.
Fixing the RTD issue will correct both the RTD sensor error and the invalid reading
for the winding temperature.
Q: Are there any particular wiring methods for wiring a 509ITM?
A: Wire the 509ITM according to your OEM/utility company’s practices and industry
standards. For those areas not covered, Qualitrol recommends the following:
Separate all power wiring (supply power, relay outputs, etc.) from analog wiring
(sensor inputs, current loop outputs, etc.) and digital wiring (RS-232, RS-485) in
different conduits, if possible.
Use shielded wire for all and twisted pairs for analog and digital wires. Shielding
and twisted pair will minimize noise radiating to and from the wire.
For all wiring, keep lengths as short as possible and use the heaviest gauge
wire that’s practical for the application. Wire has resistance and shorter lengths
and thicker wire minimizes that resistance.
Dress the wires so that none of the leads are pinched or strained, which might
shorten the life of the cabling.
Q: What exactly is an RTD?
A: RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector, and it is a device whose
resistance changes directly proportional to changes in temperature. For a 100 ohm
RTD, this is approximately 0.385 ohm per degree Celsius, and for a 10 ohm RTD,
this is approximately 0.0385 ohm per degree Celsius. See the following chart for
resistance values of the two types of RTDs at points of interest.
RTD Type -40°C 0°C 25°C 120°C
10 ohm RTD 7.490 ohm 9.035 ohm 10.00 ohm 13.669 ohm
100 ohm RTD 84.27 ohm 100.0 ohm 109.73 ohm 146.06 ohm
Because of the small resistance values in an RTD sensor, Qualitrol recommends a
maximum of 75 feet of cable length. A typical application to measure the resistance
(temperature) changes in an RTD is for a monitor to send an excitation current
through the RTD and then measure the voltage across the device. This voltage is
then translated to the appropriate temperature value by the monitor.
Because an RTD is a resistive device, you must take the wire resistance into
account when doing any accurate measurement calculations. This can be
accomplished in different ways. One way is to send the excitation current through its
own pair of wires and measure the voltage across another pair of wires using only
153
www.qualitrolcorp.com
Hardware and Software Instructions
sensing current. The excitation current will be great enough to make a “large”
voltage value, while the sensing current will be “small” to negate any wire resistance
from being detected. This is the basis for a four-wire RTD measurement and is
considered one of the most accurate.
The 509ITM can accomplish the same accuracy of a four-wire measurement using
only three wires by measuring the wire resistance in one leg of the RTD and
subtracting the resistance temperature twice. For that reason, if you are trying to
connect a four-wire RTD sensor to the 509ITM, tie off one of the legs so that it is not
connected to the terminal block.
Q: Why does the RTD sensor read either -50° C or 130° C, instead of the correct
value?
A: The measurement range of the RTD sensor is from -40 - 120° C, but the 509ITM will
over-range to -50° C or 130° C when one of the following occurs:
1. The wrong sensor is installed:
a 10 ohm RTD sensor is connected to a 100 ohm input module, or
a 100 ohm RTD sensor is connected to a 10 ohm input module.
Verify that the RTD sensor type matches the label on the back of the 509ITM
dust cover. If the two of these do not match, do one of the following:
obtain the correct sensor type, or
contact Qualitrol about updating the 509ITM unit in the field (purchasing a
new module and getting an update software disk).
2. The calibration for the RTD Input Module has been altered or overwritten. If the
509ITM was incorrectly recalibrated in the field, reinstall the factory calibration
settings. See Using the Factory Calibrator Application Tool (Advanced users
only) in the Software Instructions.
Q: How do I specify and use the clamp-on CT?
A: Clamp-on CTs are used with the current input modules and CT, temperature input
modules for calculating simulated winding temperature. Since they are a clamp-on
device, they offer a physical isolation from the transformer and the sensing device
The question sometimes arises of how much burden this CT sensor places on the
transformer. The burden is so small that it can only be measured in a laboratory, so
for all practical purposes the answer is zero as sensed by the transformer.
The output of the clamp-on sensor is from 0 - 0.333 V AC for the entire sensing
range. (0 - 10 Amp AC in corresponds linearly to 0 - 0.333 V AC out.) The clamp-on
CTs have an accuracy of 1% over the full measurement range specified for that CT.
Therefore, when selecting a clamp-on CT for the application, the CT rating should
be as close as possible without being less than the maximum value it will be
measuring. The label value on the clamp-on CT should match the CT clamp-on
sensor rating value. See Input Modules in the Software Instructions.
