3  HYDRAN 201TI INTELLIGENT TRANSMITTER 
The Hydran 201Ti is an intelligent, on-line monitoring system that measures the level 
of combustible gases in dielectric oil for the early detection and monitoring of incipient 
faults in transformers or any other oil-filled electrical equipment. 
A picture of the H201Ti is illustrated in Figure 2-1. 
3.1  Features 
The main features of the Hydran 201Ti are: 
•  A Hydran 201 sensor that measures a composite value of the following dissolved 
gases in oil: hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), acetylene (C2H2) and ethylene 
(C2H4). 
•  Easy installation on a valve of the equipment to be monitored. 
•  A six-key membrane keypad. 
•  A backlit, alphanumeric, liquid  crystal display (LCD)  to use the H201Ti without a 
host computer.  Provides the following on-line information: 
-  Level of dissolved gases in oil. 
-  Hourly trend (gas level variation during a period of time measured in hours). 
-  Daily trend (gas level variation during a period of time measured in days). 
-  Alarm messages. 
•  Three alarms: 
-  Two gas alarms (High and High-High; levels are adjustable), triggered by the 
gas level, and the hourly and daily trends. 
-  One system fail alarm, triggered by several conditions. 
•  Four historic data files (automatic recording of data): 
-  Events (recording at the time of events; example: alarms). 
-  Short Term and Long Term (recording at fixed, adjustable logging rates). 
-  Service (recording at the time of the sensor tests). 
•  Semimonthly, automatic sensor test and state report. 
•  Digital calibration of the analog inputs and output. 
•  Isolated, analog 4–20 mA output. 
•  Immunity  to  electrical  surge,  radio-frequency  interference  and  electrostatic 
discharge, as enumerated in the Technical specifications (section A-1). 
•  An  isolated  USB  Type  B  connector  for  communication  with  a  host  computer 
running the Hydran Host software. 
•  Serial communication with a Hydran 201Ci Controller through a supervisory link 
(communication cable between an H201Ti and an H201Ci). 
•  Full stand-alone  capabilities when  the host computer (running  the Hydran  Host 
software) is not used. 
•  Wide ambient temperature range for all-weather outdoor operation. 
•  A thermal regulating system. 
•  Communication protocols: proprietary Hydran protocol or ModBus RTU protocol 
•  Terminal blocks to connect the following components: 
-  AC power supply.
