INTRODUCTION
Product Overview
The Intellix™ BMT 330 is a monitoring system that continuously:
Measures the condition of transformer bushings (through changes in
Capacitance and Power Factor)
Detects any Partial Discharges (PD) activity in the transformer main tank;
(measured as high frequency pulses).
All measurements and alarms can be reported to a remote monitoring centre via
either the standard RS485 connection, one of the other communications options, or
manually downloaded in situ. The Intellix™ BMT 330 is supplied with BMT Setup
Software, which is the subject of this user manual.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by
the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
The Intellix BMT 330 does not require periodic
maintenance. However, if the transformer bushings are
replaced by a similar bushing then the Bushing Adaptor
circuit integrity checks shall be implemented and the
bushing nominal parameters updated before the
transformer is returned to service. Refer to the
Installation manual. If the bushing is replaced by a
mechanically and/or electrically different bushing a
new Bushing Adaptor will be required.
If the transformer bushings are subjected to routine
maintenance, then the Bushing Adaptor circuit integrity
checks should be implemented before the transformer
is returned to service. Refer to the Installation manual.
Scope
This user manual covers the companion BMT Setup Software:
Its installation on a PC.
The configuration operations after installation of the Intellix™ BMT 330.
Monitoring of the data is carried out using GE’s PERCEPTION software (v1.18.2 or
above). Please refer to its own user manual.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The BMT Setup Software is supplied on a CD. To install the software, load the CD
into your PC’s DVD/CD drive, and the installer package should run automatically. If
the installer does not run automatically, then use Windows Explorer to view the CD’s
directory structure. Select and double click on “setup.exe” in the root directory of the
CD to start the BMT 330 Setup Software installer.
Note: the installation of a third-party run-time library requires the existence of a
“My Documents”folder. If this folder does not exist the installation will fail. This error
can also happen if your “My Documents”folder is on a network location which is not
accessible at installer runtime. This issue can be fixed by assigning the “My
Documents”folder. This can be done by either:
a) Right-click on “My Documents”from the Start Menu or Desktop, select
“Properties”, and edit the “Target folder location”field; or
b) Edit the “My Documents” registry location directly. The key value can be found
at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
\Shell Folders.
If a manual assignment of the “My Documents”folder doesn't solve the issue,
then create a temporary user account in Windows and run the installer from that
location.
Editing the registry carries inherent risks. Make sure you are familiar with the
registry before editing the registry, manually or programmatically. It is highly
recommended to create a backup of the registry before modifying it.
CONFIGURATION OF Intellix™ BMT 330
Once the Intellix™ BMT 330 cabinet has been installed and all the sensors
connected, the Intellix™ BMT 330 should be configured. Service-level access to the
BMT Setup Software is required; please refer to the companion Intellix™ BMT 330
Service Manual and Installation manual for instructions.

All user-access activity should take place in ambient
temperatures greater than -20 deg C (-4 deg F) to
prevent damage to connectors and cabling as they may
become brittle at extreme low temperatures.
Prior any test that requires the removal of the
transformer neutral ground, the CT MUST be removed if
installed. If so, replace the Neutral CT after the
transformer ground has been reconnected.
During user access: Note that this unit may have more
than one source of supply, eg the alarm relays may be
from an independent AC supply. Disconnect all supplies
at their source before servicing. Apply LOTO protocols.
