ESD Protection

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.
To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:
- Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and
protected ESD workbench. When this is not possible, ground yourself
to the equipment chassis before touching the boards. Ground yourself
with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord. When neither of the
above is possible, touch a conductive part of the equipment chassis
with your other hand before touching the boards.
- Always hold the boards by the edges and avoid touching the
component contacts.

Transmitters with LAN or WLAN Interface

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Transmitters with WLAN Interface

This device has been designed to operate with a 2 dBi half-wave antenna. Antennas with a gain greater than 2 dBi are prohibited for use with this device. The antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
This Class [B] digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numérique de la classe [B] est conforme à la norme NMB-

PRODUCT OVERVIE W

This chapter introduces the features, advantages, and the product nomenclature of the Vaisala HUMICAP® Moisture and Temperature Transmitter for Oil MMT330.

Introduction to MMT330

The MMT330 transmitter is a microprocessor based instrument for the measurement of moisture in terms of water activity for example in the lubrication of circulation systems or in transformer oil. The transmitter incorporates a capacitive thin film sensor. The operation of the sensor is based on changes in its capacitance as the thin polymer film absorbs water molecules.
The transmitter can be configured in many ways. It can have either a blank cover or a cover with a local display and keypad with which the user can operate the transmitter. The power supply voltage can be selected from three alternatives. Two analogue output signals can be scaled and the measurement ranges changed within certain limits. The MMT330 transmitter can be supplied probe cable lengths.
MMT330 also provides for accurate temperature measurement. It is an easy-to-install on-line transmitter which can be calibrated against traceable salt solutions.
Vaisala HUMICAP® Moisture and Temperature Transmitter for Oil MMT330 provides reliable moisture measurement in wide range of applications. Analog outputs can be chosen between current and voltage signals. Alternatively, digital outputs RS-232 (standard) or RS-422/485 (optional) can be selected.

Typical Applications

Method Used for Measuring Moisture in Oil
The MMT330 transmitter measures water in oil in terms of water activity (aw) which can be determined as follows: water activity indicates the amount of oil in the scale of 0 - 1 aw. In this scale, 0 aw is an indication of completely water free oil and 1 aw an indication of oil fully saturated with water. Water is present in free form.
The most important feature which distinguishes the measurement of water activity (aw) from the traditional measurement of absolute water content (in ppm) is that the saturation point remains stable regardless of the oil type or the aging of oil, additives used etc. As water activity exceeds 0.9 aw in any system, there is a risk for segregation (especially if the temperature decreases). The water activity is used for alarming at the point of >0.9 aw that the risk for free water in the system is obvious. The most important advantages of this system are the fact that water activity is immune to the aging of oil and to additives, and that the MMT330 transmitter can be used for continuous on-line measurements. In addition, the MMT330 can be calibrated against salt solutions and no reference oils are needed.
Lubrication Oil in Paper Machines
Typically, a paper machine contains two or three separate lubrication systems. Usually, one is located at the wet end and the other at the dry end. There is a certain amount of free moisture constantly present which means that there is a risk of this moisture becoming into contact with the machine bearings. The most common reasons for the entrance of water are an inadequate sealing of the housing and cleaning with high pressure. However, accidental leakages from oil coolers and other equipment may also cause damage. In paper machines, the oil should absorb water while lubricating the bearings and then release this water when collected into the reservoir. It is to be noted that bearings should never be exposed to oils that have a high water content; this is especially important during standstill because the risk for corrosion process increases as the oil temperature decreases. It is essential to monitor the water content and keep it on a suitable level.
When measuring the water content of oil in paper machines, it would be useful to measure the water activity before an oil reservoir and from a pressure line flow. This way, the performance of dehumidifiers can be kept under control to ensure that no free water reaches the bearings.

Transformer Oil
The determination of moisture in oil is an essential part of a comprehensive transformer maintenance program. Aging and deterioration increase the capacity of oil to absorb water. The primary interest in transformers is to measure the water not in oil but in the cellulosic insulation around the transformer windings. Heating and cooling have a considerable effect on moisture levels in oil. While temperature raises, the paper insulation of transformers tends to loose moisture which is absorbed by the oil surrounding it. Saturation level is thus a true indicator of moisture present. The MMT330 method provides for a reliable detection of the aging of oil and possible leakages.
Oil immersed transformers rely on the oil for cooling, protection from corrosion and as an important component of their insulation. Excessive moisture contents in oil causes accelerated ageing of the insulation materials and reduces their dielectric strength. In extreme cases this can result in arcing and short circuits within the windings. Accurate moisture measurements can also warn about leaks in the oil system, as water is absorbed from the surrounding air.
Heating and cooling of a transformer effect moisture levels in oil. This is due to the fact that the water solubility of oil is temperature dependent. In general, water solubility increases as temperature raises, see Figure 4 on page 25. Changes in temperature affect also on water desorption of the paper insulation around the transformer windings. Desorption of water from the insulation increases as temperature raises and the surrounded oil absorbs desorbed water. Moisture level in oil is thus a true indicator of moisture present in the paper insulation.
In addition, it must be noted that capacity of oil to absorb water depends both on the chemical structure of the oil and the additives.
