Operating Instructions and Maintenance
Mounting :
a) rigid stem thermometers ( types 1144/S – 1184/S – 1186/S ) fix the connection on the thermometer pocket by means of a spanner. Attention don’t try to tighten the con- nection by rotating the thermometer’s head as you may damage it ! Once the connection is fixed you may need to position the dial to get the best readability. The positioning can be made by means of the swivel nut of the thermometer.
b) thermometers with capillary (types 1187/S ) : fix the thermometer’s head to the machine by means of the back flange or of the elastic suspension. Then fix at regular distances the capillary to the machine wall or cover and position the bulb inside of the thermometer pocket. Finally tighten the connection.
Contact setting : remove the locking ring remove the glass rotate the frictioned setting pointers till are positioned at the desired set points value put the glass into its seat taking care that the sealing O-ring is correctly located under screw the locking ring.
Cable layout : Remove locking ring and glass as done for contacts setting connect the terminals of the contact by taking care that black screws correspond to black pointer contact and red screws correspond to red pointer contact Reposition the glass and mount the locking ring.
Maintenance : No particular maintenance is required. Only, on regular basis, schedule inspections to verify correct function and calibration. Typically a check of the precision must be done after 24 months and the check for contact functionality must be done at least once a year. In case the transparent is dirty, thus reducing the readability of the dial, you can clean it with a soft cloth, water and soap.
Finished Product Quality Control Tests
Thermometers without electric contact for distribution transformers
Instrument calibration : carried out through thermostatic baths controlled by a microprocessor based moni- toring unit. The procedure varies according to instruments scale. The calibration procedure, being the thermometer scale = 0 / +120°C is made by using 5 different baths set at the following temperatures :
- bath1= 0°C
- bath 2 = 20°C
- bath 3 = 50°C
- bath 4 = 100°C
- bath 5 = 115°C
Calibration procedure :
Step 1 : a check is carried out to see whether the temperature taken by the instrument under test differs from that taken through the sample sensor by more than the 70% of the maximum allowed instrument reading tolerance value. This test is performed by sequentially plunging the thermometer bulb into successive temperature increasing thermostatic baths : 0°C / +20°C / +50°C / +100°C / +115°C.
Step 2 : the instrument is heated until the instrument pointer exceeds by 20% the angular full scale value.
Step 3 : step 1 is repeated, but inversely.
Check of instrument mechanical protection degree : IP 55
Thermometer with electric contacts (air type silver contacts) for distribution transformers
Instrument calibration : carried out through thermostatic baths controlled by a computer system. The procedure varies according to instruments scale. The calibration procedure, being the thermometer scale = 0/+120°C is made by using 5 different baths set at the following temperatures :
- bath1= 0°C
- bath 2 = 20°C
- bath 3 = 50°C
- bath 4 = 100°C
- bath 5 = 115°C

Step 3 : step 1 is repeated, but inversely.
Manual inspection of the electric contact actuation : in every point of the scale.
Tripping status control of electric contacts : performed via visual indicators mounted on a panel-board. The bulb is immersed in a thermostatic bath.
A Temperature monitoring and control unit changes the temperature inside of the bath and by means of said panel-board the operator verifies the commutation tolerance, the commutation differential, the electrical cir- cuits of each contact.
Check of instrument mechanical protection degree : IP 55
Insulation test : carried out by means of a microprocessor controlled testing unit.
