DISPLAY
The first display is dedicated to temperatures.
The second display to the monitored channel.
When the device is turned on, or after a reset, the display always shows: the model of the T154 control unit, the type of probes,
the temperature range, the VER "00" indication (firmware version) and the identification code of the WS device (web server).
Pressing the MODE key, the display modes can be set:
•SCAN: the control unit shows in scanning (every 2 seconds) all the enabled (°C) and disabled (NO) channels.
•AUTO: the control unit displays the hottest channel automatically.
•MAN: manual reading of the channel temperature using the up/down keys
•T.MAX: The display shows the maximum temperature of the channel selected with the cursor keys. In the event of a fault,
the Tmax value is replaced with the type of fault stored (fcc-foc). Turning on the Trip Alarm-Fault LED warns of any events
that have occurred. The recordings are always successive to the moment in which the T.Max is reset (by pressing RESET).
OPERATING PROGRAM CONTROL
To control the protection levels programmed, press the PRG key twice to access the VIS programme. Repeatedly pressing the
PRG key, you can scroll through all the previously loaded values in sequence.
After 1 minute's keyboard inactivity, the programming display procedure is automatically abandoned.
To stop the display, press the ENT key.
NOTES ON SCAN AND MAN FUNCTIONS
During the SCAN and MAN modes, the operation of the T154 WS can be displayed.
1) RUN cPU:
This message appears upon ignition of the device.
2) Ech Err:
This message appears when damage in the EEPROM memory is detected.
Pressing Reset will cancel the message and restore the original default parameters, listed in the programming paragraph
on pages 13-14. Return the control unit to TECSYSTEM for repairs.
3) CAL Err:

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The Wi-Fi antenna (5) is supplied with the T154 WS device. If
necessary, the antenna connection can be extended using a 5
mm SMA Male to Female antenna cable.
NOTE: Never start the device with the antenna
disconnected.

T154 WS
POWER SUPPLY
The T154 WS control unit can be supplied by 85 to 260 Vac-Vdc, 50/60 Hz irrespectively of polarity in Vdc (terminals 40-42).
This particularity is obtained thanks to the use of a tested power supply, of new conception and realisation,
which frees the installer from any uncertainty regarding the correct Vac or Vdc power supply.
The earthing cable must always be connected to terminal 41.
When the control unit is powered directly by the secondary of the transformer to be protected, it can be burnt out by high
intensity overvoltages.
These problems occur if the main switch is closed and the transformer does not have the load (no load test).
The above is much more evident when the 220 Vac voltage is taken directly from the bars of the
secondary of the transformer and there is a fixed capacitor battery for power factor correction of the transformer itself.
If an existing control unit must be replaced with a new one, to guarantee its correct and safe operation, the
sensor/relay/supply connecting terminals must be replaced with the new terminals supplied.
ALARMS AND VENTILATION
Carry out the electrical connections on the removable terminal blocks only after disconnecting them from the unit.
When the control unit is in one of the following modes, it does not perform any thermal monitoring, moreover the relays will
all be disabled, the fault contact switches and the fault LED will flash.
•Vis. Programming display.
•PRG programming.
•Relay test.
The ALARM and TRIP relays only switch when the set temperature thresholds are exceeded.
The FAULT (fault)contact, programmed in active failsafemode (default YES), opens (11-12) when the appliance is powered,
only if during the access phase the control unit does not detect anomalies, and keeps the switching until when one of the
following events occurs:
•Data memory fault (Ech message).
•Pt100 sensor fault (FCC short-circuited sensor, FOC interrupted sensor or Fcd quick temperature increase)
•CAL damage to the measurement circuit.
•Insufficient supply voltage.
•During the power on reset after programming (PRG), displaying the data (VIS) and relay test.
The FAULT failsafe mode can be disabled FAULT failsafe "NO" see programming step 30-31 page 14.
NOTE: in order to avoid unwanted system outages, do not connect the FAULT relay to the transformer tripping circuit.

ERR ALL. = ALARM ≥ TRIP
ERR FAN = FAN-OFF ≥ FAN-ON. (FAN1)
The device automatically prepares itself for the programming step of the error committed
NOTE: EVERY TIME THE CONTROL UNIT PROGRAMMING, WITH CONFIRMATION OF DATA SAVING, THE
VALUES STORED IN T-MAX ARE RESET AT THE TIME OF STORING.

15
T154 WS
All "T" series control units have linearity of the sensor signal, with a maximum error of 1% of full scale value.
NOTE: the use of cables not complying with the above could cause possible reading anomalies. It is always
important to take into account that any interference on the signal lines might cause anomalies on the Pt100
inputs (CH1-CH2-CH3-CH4) or on the sensors themselves.
ATTENTION:
We recommend you check the device's programming before starting the device.
The default parameters set by TECSYSTEM might not match your requirements.
Programming the device is the end user's responsibility, the settings of the alarm thresholds and the enabling of
the functions described in this manual must be checked (by a specialist engineer) according to the application and
features of the system the control unit is installed on.
TEMPERATURE SENSORS
Each Pt100 thermometric sensor has a white conductor and two red ones (CEI 75.8 standards).
The CH2 channel must always refer to the central column of the transformer.
The CH4 channel must refer either tothe transformer core, orto the Pt100 roomsensor whenever it is necessary tothermostat
the transformer room using the T154 WS control unit.
MEASUREMENT SIGNAL TRANSFER
All the Pt100 measurement signal transfer cables must strictly comply with the following rules:
1. Every Pt100 must be connected with a three-wire cable with a minimum section of 0.35mm² and a maximum of 1 mm².
2. The extension cable must be screened with tinned copper braid with an 80% cover
3. Conductors must be twisted, maximum recommended step 60mm
4. The cable screening must only be earthed with a termination, preferably on the control unit side.
5. The sensors' signal transfer cable must not be near electrical cables, either low or medium-high voltage.
6. The Pt100 cable and the signal transfer cable must be laid in a straight line, without any winding.
7. Any caps used to butt conductors must be crimped properly to avoid false contacts.
NOTE: to install the sensors and signal transferring cable correctly, read the SCS/PT100 SENSORS installation note
manual.
What may happen when installation rules are not complied with.
1)The electrical field propagating from the power line of another circuit couples capacitively with the conductors (in particular
with unscreened cables). The effect of this coupling creates a signal that overlaps the signal transmitted by the nearby
conductors, causing incorrect readings.
2) The variations in magnetic flux in the power lines may induce an electromotive force on the signal transferring cables (in
particular non-twisted cables), that, being a closed circuit, generates a current. This interference current, multiplied by the
circuit resistance, gives a voltage value that overlaps the signal to be transmitted, distorting the sensor measurement.
3) False contacts can alter the signal with the consequent variation in the temperature detected.
In specific cases, when the rules for connecting the Pt100 sensors are not complied with, the following anomalies can occur
between the SCS box and the temperature control unit:
a) incorrect temperature readings, alarms or anomalous tripping
b) mechanical/electrical fault of the Pt100 sensors
c) damage to the Pt100 inputs of the control unit.
TECSYSTEM S.r.l. has designed its own special cable to transfer the measurement signals, CEI-compliant, with all the
protection requirements provided for mod. CT-ES

T154 WS
TEMPERATURE SENSOR DIAGNOSTICS
In case of failure or exceeded full scale value of one of the thermometric sensors installed on the machine to be protected,
the FAULT relay opens immediately with the relative warning of faulty sensor on the corresponding channel.
Fcc indicates sensor short-circuited or minimum full scale value of the control unit exceeded -8°C
Foc indicates sensor interrupted or maximum full scale value of the control unit exceeded 243°C.
To eliminate the message and to restore the Fault contact opening, check the connections of the Pt100 and replace the
faulty sensor if necessary. In case the minimum/maximum full scale value has been reached, make sure that the
environmental conditions correspond to what is indicated by the control unit.
Note: exceeding the minimum/maximum full scale can also be caused by possible disturbances on the sensor lines, in this
case the following are recommended:
Check correct installation of the sensors and especially of the extension cable (as indicated in the paragraph
MEASUREMENT SIGNALS TRANSFER).
Activation of the functions: VOTING (shown below) or FCD (on page 19) in relation to the system conditions.
CAL message display: the indication appears when the measurement circuit is damaged. The temperature values displayed
might be incorrect. Return the control unit to TECSYSTEM for repairs.
VOTING FUNCTION
The voting function derives from the redundancy concept that consists in duplicating the components of a system to increase
their reliability.
How does VOTING work?
Using the redundancy principle, we use the sensors installed on the three phases U-V-W to monitor the transformer's
operation, and at the same time to ascertain the sensors are working correctly, discriminating against any false alarms
(generated by installation errors).
By activating the VOTING "YES" function, the control unit compares the temperature values recorded on the monitored
CH1-CH2-CH3 channels and enables the switching of the(TRIP) disconnect contact only if the TRIP threshold has been
exceeded on at least two channels over the same period T.
By selecting VOTING “NO” the function will be disabled.
Note: if Voting "Yes” is programmed, the switching of the ALARM contact will signal exceeding of the alarm threshold on
each individual channel.
To enable the Voting function, read the programming section on pages 13-14.
Attention: To control the transformer correctly from a temperature point of view, enabling the VOTING function
is allowed where the load distributed between the phases of the transformer is adequately balanced. In addition,
any conditions of FAULT: FCC-FOC-FCD on two or more channels, with active voting, can determine the TRIP
contact inhibition.
PROGRAMMED DATA DIAGNOSTICS
In case of failure of the internal memory or corruption of programmed data, just after switching on, Ech appears with the
relevant Fault contact signal.
In this case, for safety reasons, the default parameters are loaded automatically (see programming table on pages 13-14).
Eliminate the Ech indication by pressing RESET and run programming to enter the desired values.
Finally switch the unit off and back on to check the memory works correctly, if it is damaged Ech will be displayed again
(send the control unit to TECSYSTEM srl for repairs).

TEMPERATURE DIAGNOSTICS
When one of the thermometers detects a temperature higher than 1 ° C with respect to the pre-set value as the alarm limit,
after approximately 5 seconds the ALARM relay switches and the channel ALARM LED (CHn)switches on.
When the trip temperature limit is exceeded, after approximately 5 seconds the TRIP relay switches and the channel TRIP
LED (CHn) switches on.
As soon as the recorded temperature returns to values equal to or lower than the limit set for the ALARM and TRIP relays
switching, these relays de-energise and the corresponding LEDs switch off.
The values of ALARM andTRIP are kept in the internal memories: they can be recalledby entering theVis modes (displaying
programmed parameters) and modifiable in the PRG mode (programming).
COOLING FAN CONTROL
The T154 WS control unit has a FAN contact (FAN1). If properly programmed, it can control the ON-OFF of the fans for
cooling of the transformer.
The contact of FAN1 is able to manage the cooling of the transformer or of the environment in which the cabin operates.
The fans can be controlled in two different ways:
•Using the temperatures sensed by the sensors on the three columns CHF 1.2.3
(e.g. ON at 70°C - OFF at 60°C)
•Through an additional probe (CH4/YES) dedicated to the ambient temperature inside the transformer room CHF
4
(e.g. ON at 45°C - OFF at 35°C)
The ON and OFF values are programmable according to the device range. The FAN ON must always be at least 1°C
higher than FAN OFF (recommended Δ FAN = ON_OFF +10°C).
The FAN 1 LED comes on when the temperature exceeds the FAN ON threshold by 1°C. The relative relay switches, and
turns off when the temperature goes below 1°C of the FAN OFF threshold. The relative relay switches go off when the
temperature goes below 1°C of the FAN OFF threshold and the relative relay switches.
FAN TEST
It is possible, by programming (HFn), to make sure that the fans are operated for 5 minutes every xxx” hours, regardless of
the temperature values of the columns or the environment (e.g.: with HFn = 001 the fans are activated for 5 minutes every
hour).
This function is designed to periodically check the operation of the fans and of their control equipment.
Setting NO, this function is inhibited.
To enable the HFN function, read the programming section on pages 13-14.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before carrying out the isolation test of the electrical panel the control unit is installed on, disconnect it together
with the sensors from the power supply to prevent it from being seriously damaged.

The T154 WS control unit has the selection n.o (normally open contact) / n.c (normally closed contact) for the ALARM, TRIP
and FAULT relays, programming steps from 26 to 31 page 14. Selecting the YES/NO setting introduces the FailSafe and No
Fail Safe functions.
ALARM AND TRIP
By setting NO (NO Fail safe) the normally open contacts are in positions 5-7 Alarm and 8-10 Trip, they switch only when the
pre-set temperature limits are reached.
By setting YES (Fail safe), the normally closed contacts are in positions 5-7 Alarm and 8-10 Trip, they switch only when the
pre-set temperature limits are reached or as a result of no voltage.
FAULT
By setting YES (Failsafe), contact11-12 is positioned as normally open, switches (closed) when afaultconditionis identified;
see paragraph on alarms and ventilation on page 12.
Setting NO (NO Fail safe) the contact 11-12 is positioned as normally closed, switches (open) when a fault condition is
identified; see paragraph on alarms and ventilation on page 12.
If the fail safe function is disabled on the fault contact, the control unit will no longer be able to signal the fault due to power
failure. In this case it is advisable to enable the Fail safe on the ALARM contact for the afore-mentioned indication.
NOTE: when the control unit is in one of the modes indicated below, it does not perform any thermal monitoring, moreover
the relays will all be disabled the FAULT led will flash.
• Vis. display programming.
• PRG programming.
• Test of the relays.
The FAIL SAFE function is temporarily disabled and the FAULT relay switches.
ATTENTION: Entering the relay test mode temporarily disables the failsafe function. The relays with function
enabled switch (ALARM-TRIP-FAULT).
FAILSAFE FUNCTION

19
T154 WS
The T series equipment boasts an innovative control function combined with the dynamic status of the Pt100 sensor.
Activating FCD, the control unit analyses the increase in temperature ∆T (*) recorded in a second (°C/sec).
Enabling the function, the user can select the value (ΔT) from a minimum of 1°C/sec up to a maximum of 30°C/sec. If the
measured value is higher than the value set by the user, the control unit inhibits any activation of the ALARM and TRIP
alarms and activates the switching of the FAULT relay (11-12), signalling on the display "fault for Fcd".
e.g. setting the function to 5°C, the fault switching for FCD will only be activated if the control unit detects an increase ΔT
higher than 5°C in one second on the monitored system.
Setting "no" the FCD function is disabled.
When a channel is in Fault for FCD, the relative alarm and trip signals are inhibited on the single channel; therefore only
the anomaly of excessively rapid increase of the temperature is signalled.
Press Reset to cancel the FCD signals of all the channels and reset the relay fault.
Possible applications of FCD
Identification of a possible induced interference on the Pt100 sensor line
If the installation instructions are not complied with (see page 15), any interference on the Pt100 sensor line can cause
false readings or anomalous alarms.
Setting the FCD function in a temperature range of between 1°C and 10°C (5°C recommended), the effects caused by false
readings can be suppressed and the alarm relay activation can be prevented, as shown above.
Corrective actions: check the installation of the sensor extension cable is in line with the instructions given in the paragraph
on the measurement signal transfer on page 15.
Identification of a sensor fault or faulty connection
In case of a faulty connection or sensor fault, a quick positive or negative variation in temperature might occur, leading to
the system tripping or the alarms of the monitored system to be triggered.
In this specific case we recommend the FCD function to be set in a temperature range of between 10°C and 20°C.
Corrective actions: check the terminals the sensor is connected to are tightened and replace the faulty sensor, if required.
Identification of the electrical motor rotor block
In case of temperature control of the electrical motors, the quick temperature increase might be due to a blocked rotor.
In this specific case, it is advisable to set the FCD function in a temperature range of between 20°C and 30°C.This setting
is recommended in order to avoid activation of the FCD function during the motor starting phase, i.e. where the increase
ΔT/sec. has a very rapid variation.
(*) The ΔT value shows the temperature range for each second.
NOTE: it is advisable not to enable the FCD function with VOTING active.
