Introduction

  

The T154 Temperature Monitor will monitor and control up to four, three-
wire RTD inputs. All input channels may be user programmed for two 
separate outputs with a range of 0 to 240

°

C (32 to 464

°

F). The set points are 

common to all channels. The unit is microprocessor based which offers 
application flexibility, and easy integration to a variety of applications 
including electric motors; electric and diesel generators; all types of 
transformers; electric cables; and industrial and chemical processes. ANSI 49 
covers the thermal protection provided.

Controls

 

All functional controls and displays are located on the front of the unit. The 
unit has six input keys, two having dual functions. These are PRG/SET and 
ENT/RESET. Keys may be categorized as, programming, screen display, and 
test.  

 

Programming keys are located at the bottom of the unit and may be identified 
by the blue type. These are PRG, ENT, UP (symbol) DOWN (symbol). The 
screen display may be changed by the DISPLAY MODE key located to the 
right side of the display, identified by the yellow type. The TEST key is 
located beside the display mode key, identified by white type.  When the test 
provision is enabled the SET and RESET keys are activated, with the PRG 
and ENT keys disabled. 

Screen Displays

 

EACH ACTIVE CHANNEL HAS FOUR ASSOCIATED LED’S, 
INDICATING STATUS. TRIP, ALARM, FAN, OR FAULT, THE LED 
COLOURS ARE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS 
Green 

Displays the active channel 1-2-3 or 4 

Yellow 

-The associated channel has exceeded the alarm trip set point, and the alarm 
output relay has changed state 
-The fan relay has  been energized 

Red 

-The associated channel has exceeded the trip set point and the trip output 
relay has changed state. 
-Indication of a fault condition 
 
All messages and operating parameters are displayed on the screen. The 
DISPLAY MODE key controls the operating mode of the screen display 
allowing any one of four modes to be selected: 

scan, auto , man, 

or

 Tmax

An illuminated yellow LED at the top of the display indicates the active mode 
and pressing the DISPLAY MODE key toggles the four different modes. The 
diffe rent modes display the following information: 

Scan 

Each channel is scanned for approximately three seconds during which the 
actual temperature of that channel is displayed 

Auto 

All active channels are scanned, but only the temperature of the hottest 
channel is displayed on the screen. This mode does not affect protection. 

Man 

Each channel may be viewed manually by pressing the UP or DOWN key. 
The information displayed on the screen will be that of the channel whose 
green LED is lit. All active channels are still scanned but only the temperature 
of the selected channel is displayed. This mode does not affect protection.  

Tmax 

This value is logged in memory and is the maximum temperature recorded on 
any active input channel. The temperature value is shown and the channel is 
identified.

Screen Messages

 

The main LED screen displays a variety of messages some of which only 
appear during programming or as a result of component or unit failure. During 
the course of normal operation the following screen display indicates a fault 
condition: 

• 

FOC: Fault open circuit - RTD input to one or more channels has open 

circuited. LED illumination is provided showing fault relay indication, 
and the affected channel is identified  

• 

FCD: Fault sensor reading - RTD signal is erroneous. This is a 

programmable feature that is enabled by the user. Sensitivity is user 
selectable from 1(low) to 30 (high) This determines response time  
The controller decides if the signal input from the RTD is accurate. The 
fault relay will trip if a signal input is determined to be wrong. The sensor 
must be replaced. To reset the fault relay push RESET until RST appears 
on the main display 

• 

FCC: Fault short circuit - RTD is short-circuited. The RTD has failed or the 

RTD selection and the unit are not compatible. The cause is the result of 
lower resistance across the input than the unit is calibrated for. Indication 
of this problem is provided by fault relay LED indication. The main 
display will show FCC and a channel is identified If all alarm and trip 
LED’s illuminate with fault indication, the probability is, the  RTD’s are 
not compatible with the unit  

All other messages pertain to program or test functions, which are described 
under programming or test. 
 

Light Test

 

This test is conducted automatically after completion of programming or 
viewing programmed information. It is intended to provide visual indication 
of all illuminated LED’s and their operation. 
It is advisable to carry out this test on a regular basis to ensure all lamps are 
functioning normally. Pressing the TEST key at any time allows the user to 
test all lamps. 
If any lamp is not functioning the unit must be returned for repair. 

Control Power

 

The T154 has a universal power supply. It can be supplied with 24 to 240V 

AC or DC without respect to polarities. 
The ground cable must be fixed to terminal # 41 
 

 
ATTENTION: 

The unit may be damaged by over voltage 

when power is supplied directly from the secondary of the 
transformer it is monitoring. This may occur when the 240V is 
obtained directly from the secondary winding and there are 
fixed capacitors online. Use a control circuit transformer, with 
a secondary voltage of 24 to 120V AC or DC to avoid 
damage. 

 

ATTENTION

: Disconnect the power supply to the T154 

when conducting insulation testing with an AC or

 DC HiPot.

Inputs

 

The T154 will accept three or four, three-wire RTD inputs.  
The standard unit is calibrated for 100-ohm, platinum RTDs.  
The T154 may also be ordered for use with 100 or120-ohm, nickel RTDs. 
Channels 1-2-3 must have inputs connected or the unit will read an open 
circuit with the FOC message displayed, and the fault relay tripped. In 
applications with less than three channels connected, a resistor of 100 ohms or 
more must be connected across the open channel. This will eliminate nuisance 
tripping of the fault relay. The display will show a value for the unused 
channel, which is based on resistance vs. temperature for 100 ohm platinum 
RTD’s. To select a resistance value corresponding to a temperature value, a 
100 ohm resistor is equivalent to 0

°

C. Each 3.89 ohms (minus .01 per 

increment) is equivalent to 10

°

C. Ensure this does not interfere with the alarm 

or trip set points. Always choose a fixed resistance to provide a v alue lower 
than the set point values on the active channels. 
Applications with transformers requires the RTD’s to be connected in 
sequence for best performance, i.e. Winding 1-2-3 connected to channels 1-2-

Channel 4 is a programmable option. This channel may be enabled/disabled in 
the program mode. 
 

Outputs

 

The standard version of the T154 incorporates four output relays. These are: 
Trip, Alarm, Fault and Fan. 

• 

Alarm , Trip & Fault relays are single-pole, double throw, fan relays are 

SPST. 

• 

The Alarm, and Trip relays may be programmed with individual 

temperature set point values  All channels will respond to the 
programmed values. 

• 

The Fan relay may be programmed with an ON and Off set point 

temperature value. The operation is selected in program mode. Two 
choices are offered; one based on RTD inputs connected to channels 1,2 
or 3 or; controlled by an RTD connected to channel 4. The fan relay 
incorporates a fan test procedure this is selected in program mode. This 
feature allows automatic cycling of the fans five minutes of a selected 
hourly interval from one to ninty nine hours. To disable this feature enter

 

ooo

 

• 

The alarm and trip relays will change contact state when the set- point 

temperature value is reached. This value must be present for a minimum 
of four seconds in excess of 1 degree C above the set-point threshold  

• 

The Fault relay is activated when the unit senses a defective component or 

failure of the relay. This relay changes contact state when the unit is 
powered on line. Resetting this relay requires repair, replacement or 
correction of components. Resetting the fault relay is affected by the FCD 
program selection, refer to SCREEN MESSAGES for more detail.. 

• 

Output relays are controlled by set-point thresholds for alarm trip and fan 

relays. Each channel surveys the temperature independently, and the 
hottest channel will cause the relays to trip when the threshold is 
exceeded. The reset function requires all channels to drop one degree C 
below the trip thresholds and the

 relays reset automatically.

Programming

 

Getting started

 

Programming the T154 is simple and requires no special tools. The set point 
values for alarm, trip and fan control should be at hand. 
The unit will automatically step through each program sequence and upon 
completion will repeat each step or may be returned to normal operation. 
The program sequence is as follows; 
1) Input alarm temperature value for all channels, range 0 -240

°

C (32-464

°

F) 

2) Input trip temperature value for all channels, range. 0-240

°

C (32-464

°

F) 

3) Select channel four; 

yes

 or 

no

. If 

YES

 set alarm & trip set points  

Note: set point values for this channel are independent of channels 1-2 or 3 
This channel would normally be used with fan operation. 
4) Select fan operation; 

NO

 or (YES) select channels  1-2-3 or 4 

5) Set the fan ON temperature. High temperature 
6) Set the fan OFF temperature. Low temperature 
7) Select fan test interval, 5 minutes of xxx (1 – 99 hrs) or disable by entering 

000 

8) Select FCD; 

NO

. If YES, set sensitivity 1 to 30 

Higher numerical values offer faster response time under fault conditions 

End of program

 

Push 

ENT

 key to return to normal operation 

Unit will perform light test and return to normal operation. 
 

 

Programming Sequence

 

1)  To begin programming, 

press the PRG key for approximately seven 

seconds

. After this interval the main screen display will present the 

message PRG. The unit will then advance to the first program selection, 
and the yellow PROG light above the PRG key will illuminate. After each 
selection press the PRG key to advance to the next selection. At any time 
during the program sequence you may discontinue by pressing the ENT 
key. To enter programming again you must repeat the sequence above. 

2)  To review the entered values, momentarily press the PRG key and continue 

to do so advancing to each programmed value. If the yellow LED is not 
on, no program changes are possible  

3)  After advancing to any program selection, use the up/down keys to enter 

your selection, or set point value. 

During the programming sequence a timer allows 60 seconds for any input. If 
time elapses and no input is made the unit reverts to normal operation. 
As the unit advances to each of the program selections the main LED screen 
will display a message or set point value. 
When entering set point values for all selections, green, yellow and red 

LED’s 

will illuminate providing reference to the functions and channels.

Testing

 

All relays may be tested using the following procedure:  
1) Press and hold the TEST key for 7 seconds. The main screen display will 

flash TST and then default to an active test of the fault relay  

2) Release the test key when the yellow test on LED illuminates.  The screen 

display will show OFF and the red LED indicating fault relay is 
illuminated. 

3) Test the fan, fault, alarm or trip relay. Use the Scroll up/down keys to make 

the selection. The screen display will show the relay selected for testing. 
LED’s illuminate identifying the relay being tested. Press the SET (white 
print) key and check for contact operation. To reset press the RESET 
(white print) key. 

4) To discontinue operation and revert to normal operation, press the TEST 

key.  

At the start of the test, a timer is automatically initiated which reverts the unit 
to normal operation if no inputs are detected for a period of five minutes  
Temperature Simulation 
Connect fixed or variable resistors across all channels to simulate RTD inputs. 
All resistors must be connected to the input channel using the three 
terminations provided. This is achieved by terminating the resistor to the two 
lowest termination numbers of each channel with a jumper from the middle to 
highest number 
Example Channel #1 
Termination #’s 13-14-15 
Connect the resistor across 13-14 
Connect the jumper from 14-15 
Repeat for channels two , three. and four 
The resistance values for all inputs must be variable between 100 and 200 
ohms. 
Connect the T154 to a suitable power supply. 
Set the resistance value to a corresponding temperature value for the RTD 
type  being used. All RTD’s  have published resistance vs temperature values  
For 100 ohm platinum a resistance value of 175.84 ohms will yield 200ºC A 
resistance of 138.50 ohms yields a temperature of 100ºC Check to verify the 
readings on the main display. 
The unit is completely functional with the resistors connected, and complete 
evaluation is possible by following the instruction manual. 
  

Warranty

 

The T154 is warranted for a period of 12 months from date of shipment. 

Warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the defective

 

product and

 

no 

contingent liabilities will be accepted. 
Warranty will be voided if the unit is found to be tampered with or it has been 
damaged as a result of incorrect input or power supply connections, or is  
damaged as a result of transitory over voltages. 
Freight expense is not covered under warranty.
