Temperature Monitoring

The digital temperature relay TR-42 has been created as an accessory of main importance for resin or air insulated
three-phase MT transformer, as protection against dangerous over temperatures on the insulating coil on the
winding and to manage the intervention of cooling fans. Temperature is detected by 3 or 4 thermal detectors PT
100 DIN 43760, three of them are located in the transformer coils and the fourth on the core.

FEATURES:
• Display of the actual temperature of the 4 RTD • Alarm of TR-42 failure or PT100 disconnection.
• Display & storage of the highest temperature of • Automatic fan start every week. (bearing
each RTD protections)
• 3 programmable output contacts from 0° to • Communication by RS-485 (Model TR-42C1 only).
220°C level 1, level 2 and FAN control. PC Software available on Internet.

FUNCTIONS AND SIGNALS

DISPLAY: On the display “TEMPERATURE °C” (3 digits) you can observe the value of the temperature and program the
settings; through the display “SENSOR” (1 digit) you can see the corresponding Pt Channel.
LED “SET/PROG”: If “on”, it indicates that the user is viewing the SET mode. If “flashing”, it means that the user is in the
PROGRAM mode.
LED “ °C MAX” : If “on”, it indicates that the user is in the °C MAX mode.
LED “L1, L2 or FAN”: If “on”, the temperature of one of the RTD have reached the corresponding L1, L2 or FAN programmed
threshold and the corresponding relay is active. If FAN led is flashing, the weekly fan activation function is active.
LED “In1, In2, In3, In4”: If “on”, the temperature of one of the corresponding RTD have reached the L1 or L2 programmed
threshold and the corresponding relay is active. If “flashing”, the respective RTD has fault.
“LED FAULT”: If “flashing”, it indicates that the flashing “In1, In2, In3, In4”, has fault. The fault cause will be showed through
the °C display when positioned with the arrow buttons on the faulty sensor: ”Fcc” in case of short circuit and “Fco” for open
circuit.
DISPLAY BUTTON: If pressed on the first position in any mode will execute a test to the display and leds. It is also used for
changing views or for selecting programming values.
SCAN BUTTON: If pressed for 2 seconds in any mode the TR-42 will scan between each RTD temperature showing it on the
display every 5 sec allowing the user to see all the temperatures automatically. To exit from the “auto scan” function, press
any arrow button.
“LED AUTO SCAN”: If “on”, it means the user is in the AUTO SCAN mode.

COMMUNICATION (Type PFTR-42C1 only)

Communication capabilities are available in the TR-42 connecting the RS-485 port in a network controlled by a supervisor
device (PC). The protocol used is Modbus RTU. The connections have to be made with shielded twisted wires.
