4. Hazardous Substances
The gases measured in TRANSFIX are extracted from the oil and exhausted to atmosphere. Gases exhausted by TRANSFIX are at concentrations which are non flammable and non toxic. All exhausted gases are quickly diluted into surrounding atmosphere. .

5. Powering Up The TRANSFIX

24VDC 12VDC Fuseholders for mains input power

Figure 1. Indicator Lights and Fuseholders Disconnection from the supply is achieved through the modular fuseholders mounted adjacent to the mains inlet terminals (see figure 1). If the TRANSFIX is powered up in cold conditions (less than -10 C), the unit will perform a Cold Start sequence. The internal heaters will be switched on. The main DC power supply will not switch on and the DC power indicator lights will not light up. Once the TRANSFIX unit has warmed itself up to -10 C, the DC power supplies will be switched on. The DC power indicator lights are situated on the circuit board at the back of the TRANSFIX casing (see figure 1). After the DC power supplies have switched on, the internal temperature of the TRANSFIX may take several hours to come up to working temperature before a measurement cycle will begin. The TRANSFIX uses a lithium coin cell battery. The lithium coin cell battery is a longlife battery and may never need to be replaced. The battery is accessed behind the front panel, which can be opened by turning the -turn screws. If battery replacement is necessary, save the TRANSFIX data, as it will be lost when the power is off and the battery is removed. Switch off the TRANSFIX while it is in Standby. Slide the battery out of its cover (see figure 2). Replace with a new battery in the same polarity. Dispose of the used battery in accordance with local regulations. Switch the TRANSFIX on again. Battery Type: Lithium Coin Cell, CR2450 3V 620mAh.
CAUTION: There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire or with household waste. Contact your local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site.

TRANSFIX returns to Standby mode

Allow oil to purge for at least two minutes

5. The LCD display will read MANUAL DGA / PURGING OIL .. / PRESS KEY WHEN DONE. Wait at least two minutes for the oil to purge (this will bring fresh oil from the transformer to the sampling point), then press the white button again. The LCD display will read MANUAL DGA / TAKE OIL SAMPLE! / PRESS KEY WHEN DONE. This indicates that you can begin your oil sampling process. 6. Remove the quick-connect body protector by pulling the collar down. Fit the male quickconnect fitting and valve assembly to the quick-connect body in the base of the TRANSFIX unit (see figures 4 and 5. Ensure that the valve is closed to prevent oil leakage. Remove the Luer fitting cap and fit the oil sampling equipment to this valve and perform the oil sampling according to your standard process and procedures. 7. When you are finished sampling, close the valve and disconnect your oil sampling equipment. 8. Remove the male fitting and valve assembly, and replace the body protector fitting on the quick-connect body. 9. Push the white pushbutton once to return the TRANSFIX unit to Automatic mode. 10. If the TRANSFIX is left in Manual Sampling mode, it will revert to Automatic mode after one hour.

8. Air Intake Filter Cleaning

The TRANSFIX unit draws air from the right side of the unit and exhausts it on the bottom. The intake air is filtered to catch the largest particles and depending on the environmental conditions, this filter may need occasional cleaning and could be indicated by a Non Critical TRANSFIX error, Zone 2 temperature too high indication in the data file. To clean the filter: 1. Slide up the cover on the right hand side of the TRANSFIX casing to reveal the black fan/filter assembly. 2. If a cable-tie is fitted to the filter holder, remove it carefully. Remove the filter holder by pulling off the black snap off cover to the filter. 3. If the filter is just dusty, clean it with dry compressed air or by beating it on a metal structure. 4. If the filter is oily, clean it with mild soap and water, and then dry it thoroughly. 5. Replace the filter and snap the cover back in place. The cable-tie does not need to be replaced as it is provided for transport only. 6. Slide the cover down over the filter.

9. Oil filter cleaning

The oil is filtered to prevent particles from entering the TRANSFIX unit, or to prevent particles from being returned to the transformer; this filter may need occasional cleaning and this will be indicated by a Non Critical TRANSFIX error, oil pressure too low or oil pump tacho count too high indication in the data file. The power to the TRANSFIX unit must be switched off and the oil supply valve must be closed before removing the filter housing. Figure 4 is a view of the connections at the bottom of the TRANSFIX unit showing the oil filter cartridges. 1. If a measurement is in progress, press the red pushbutton labelled STOP MEASUREMENT. This will abort the process and the TRANSFIX unit will return to standby mode. Switch off the power to the TRANSFIX once it is in standby mode. 2. Remove the nut that houses the filter. The filter is inside but, care must be taken as there is also a spring. There also may be a little oil which will leak out. 3. Remove the filter and clean it and then just place it back inside and replace the housing. The filter can be cleaned with a brush and compressed air. 4. Replace and tighten the nut, using a backing wrench to hold the filter housing in place. 5. Turn the power back on and the TRANSFIX will automatically begin measuring at the next scheduled run. Note: The compression nuts on either side may need to be loosened slightly to turn the filter to a more convenient position, and must be re-tightened once the procedure is complete.

Modbus Protocol

The MODBUS implementation for TRANSFIX follows the recommendations given by the MODBUS-IDA organization for a BASIC implementation class. Additional information about the MODBUS protocol and its implementation can be found in the documents "MODBUS Application Protocol Specification V1.1a" and MODBUS over serial line V1.02, which are available on the Internet at: http://www.MODBUS.org The TRANSFIX has two serial channels. These can be configured to use MODBUS-RTU or MODBUS-ASCII with various baud rate and parity configurations, over a number of different physical interfaces. Also available is an Ethernet port which supports MODBUS-TCP on a configurable TCP port. TRANSFIX operates as a slave device. It should be assigned a MODBUS slave address in the range 1-247. Transfix will only respond to MODBUS commands with the correct address. The TRANSFIX currently supports the following MODBUS function codes:
Code 01 02 03 04 06 16 Function Read Coils Read Discrete Inputs Read Holding Registers Read Input Register Write Single Register Write Multiple Registers Description These are effectively the same in the Transfix implementation. Both allow the user to read a number of inputs (1-2000) in a single command. These are effectively the same in the Transfix implementation. Both allow the user to read a number of registers (1-125) in a single command. Allows the user to write a single register. Allows the user to write multiple (1-120) registers in a single command.

The TRANSFIX supports the following MODBUS Exception responses:

Code 01 02 03 04 Exception Illegal Function Illegal Data Address Illegal Data Value Slave Device Failure Description The function code received in the query is not implemented by the Transfix. The data address (or range) received in the query is not an allowed address. A value contained in the query is not an allowed value for the particular register. An unrecoverable error.

TRANSFIX MODBUS REGISTERS

The MODBUS specification only defines 16-bit integer registers. However it is possible to use these 16-bit registers to store other types of data in different data formats. The TRANSFIX registers can store character strings, bit fields and floating point values. These are all read as integers using the MODBUS commands, and must be correctly interpreted by the master device. It is anticipated that not all MODBUS masters will be able to correctly interpret non integer data, so the main critical data has been duplicated in both integer and floating point format. All data is formatted in Big Endian byte order. Character strings are simple fixed length 8-bit ASCII strings, where each MODBUS 16-bit integer contains two ASCII characters. If a smaller string length is required, it must be padded with NULL characters. Floating point values are stored in 32-bit IEEE-754 format in two adjacent 16-bit registers.

READING HISTORICAL RECORDS

Function code: 65 (0x41)

This function is used to read a historical record from the TRANSFIX. The request PDU specifies the record index. Records are indexed, where 0 indicates the 'latest' or current record. Note that the index number is not the same as the record number. The response will contain the entire record (header and data), as described below. Note that all data is in floating point format. Integer format is not supported for historical records. If there is no record available at the current index position, an Illegal Address Exception response will be returned.
