TEMPERATURE MONITORING DEVICE COMEM DTI AND COMEM EDTI - INSTRUCTION MANUAL — 1. Safety 1.2 Specified applications The Temperature monitoring device Comem DTI/eDTI is used in resin or dry type transformers and can also be easily adapted for use in oil transformers. The Comem DTI/eDTI uses PT100 temperature probes for a constant monitoring of transformer temperatures.
In addition, it is available an analogue settable output 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA with scale FROM -30°C to +200°C. The devices type Comem DTI and Comem eDTI allow the control and the visualization of temperature read with probe type RTD PT100.
TEMPERATURE MONITORING DEVICE COMEM DTI AND COMEM EDTI - INSTRUCTION MANUAL — 2. Comem DTI and eDTI 2.2 Installation The Comem DTI family are devices which use PT100 temperature probes for constant monitoring of transformer temperatures. Read carefully the present manual before to install and to use the device.
TRANSFORMER COMPONENTS 2.3 Connection of the temperature sensors For the connection of the sensor RTD PT100 it’s necessary to follow the indication of the wiring diagram of this manual: pay attention to not invert the position between the conductors with red insulator and the conductor with white insulator.
TEMPERATURE MONITORING DEVICE COMEM DTI AND COMEM EDTI - INSTRUCTION MANUAL — 5. Front panel description Legend: 1. LEDs T1-T2-T3-T4 for the on-measuring channel displayed 2. T1-T2 and T3-T4 displays for the channel temperature visualization and settings 3. LEDs ALARM for the Alarm status in the related channels (1 to 4) 4.
TRANSFORMER COMPONENTS — 6. Programming of the device When the device is switched on, on the display will flash the index of the internal software: later the device starts to display the temperature read on the measured input. To enter in the programming mode, press the button SET for some second up to light the relative SET LED.
TEMPERATURE MONITORING DEVICE COMEM DTI AND COMEM EDTI - INSTRUCTION MANUAL — 6. Programming of the device 6.2 Selection of the number of active inputs It is possible to select the number of activated inputs. It’s possible to choose between 3 and 4 inputs enabled; if there are 3 inputs enabled the T4 display remain off.
TRANSFORMER COMPONENTS 6.4 Selection of the threshold of switch-on and switch-off ventilation It is possible to program the threshold for enabling and disabling the ventilation. • Selection the threshold for disabling ventilation The FAN LED is on, with fixed light indicates this phase of programming.

TEMPERATURE MONITORING DEVICE COMEM DTI AND COMEM EDTI - INSTRUCTION MANUAL — 6. Programming of the device 6.11 Configuration diagnostic probes This function allows to enable or to disable the control on the probes. This functionality controls the variation of the temperature in a defined time.
TRANSFORMER COMPONENTS — 7. Modality of tripping and restore 7.1 Alarm On the relative channel, if the threshold value set is exceeded of +1°C, after 5 seconds the ALARM relay is energized and the ALARM led is. The alarm rearm (relay de-energized and the involved LED off) occurs when the temperature goes down of 2°C respect at the threshold value set.
TEMPERATURE MONITORING DEVICE COMEM DTI AND COMEM EDTI - INSTRUCTION MANUAL — 8. Diagnostic The device is provided of the thermic probes diagnostic function. The condition controlled on the measured input are: • Probe PT100 interrupted: signalling on the display the message O P E (open).
TRANSFORMER COMPONENTS — 9. Visualization of the maximum measured temperature On the relative channel, if the threshold value set is exceeded of +1°C, after 5 seconds the ALARM relay is energized and the ALARM led is. The alarm rearm (relay de-energized and the involved LED off) occurs when the temperature goes down of 2°C respect at the threshold value set.
TEMPERATURE MONITORING DEVICE COMEM DTI AND COMEM EDTI - INSTRUCTION MANUAL — 10. Visualization of the channels with the higher temperature Pressing the HOT key for some seconds till switching to the HOT led. On the T1-T2 display, the hotter temperature among the inputs 1 and 2 will appear.
