* For operating temperatures less than -20 C, the cold weather cable is required. Additional heating of oil transfer lines may be required
for operation in cold locations. The unit will generate a system fault if the mineral oil temperature is outside of standard fluid limits of
-20 and 120 C. For operating in environments where the temperature routinely exceeds 40 C, the high temperature accessory is
recommended to prevent premature aging and reduction of component lifetime. Temperatures are based upon air temperatures for unit
installation in shaded location.

5 Transformer and LTC Criteria
5.1 Transformer Criteria

The electromagnetic fields around the transformer must meet the IEC 61000-6-5 standard.
If the transformer environment is greater than this EMC standard, more discussion is needed
before proceeding any further. Contact support@lumasenseinc.com.
If connecting a SmartDGA Instrument to a valve that is within four (4) meters of an energy
source (such as the bushings), an outage will be needed for installation. Otherwise it is up to the
substation managers discretion whether or not they want an outage for installation.
Note: If an outage is required or desired for the installation, it needs to be approved

and/or scheduled for the installation date.
Outage needed
if < 4m from an
energy source
5.2 LTC Criteria

Oil must be filtered by a Filmax filtration unit. Filmax is the only type of filtration unit that
is compatible with the SmartDGA system.
The Filmax filtration unit must be shutdown prior to installation.
Caution: Never sample oil directly from the LTC to the SmartDGA Instrument.
A side stream of oil is connected from the LTC tank to the Filmax filtration unit.
The SmartDGA Instrument will then sample the filtered oil from the FIlmax filtration unit.
SmartDGA Pre-Installation Manual Transformer and LTC Criteria 17


6 Plumbing
6.1 Transformer Valves

All transformers have different valve configurations so you will need to assess the type, size,
location, and clearance of your transformer valves. This will allow you to determine how you will
connect your SmartDGA instrument to the transformer, as well as determine which valve kit you will
need for mounting it.
Fill Valve
Ancillary Valve
Drain Valve
6.1.1 Drain Valve

The drain valve is located near the bottom of the transformer tank. This is the ideal valve to use for
sampling oil from the transformer.
6.1.2 Fill Valve
The fill valve is located near the top of the transformer tank. This is the ideal valve to use for
returning oil back to the transformer.
Note: This valve should never be used to sample oil from the transformer because there
is no guarantee that oil will always be at this position.
6.1.3 Ancillary Valves

Some transformers have various ancillary valves in random locations. If necessary, these can be used
in place of the drain valve and/or fill valve for sampling and/or returning oil.
SmartDGA Pre-Installation Manual Plumbing 20

6.2 SmartDGA Valve Kits
For each measurement cycle, the SmartDGA instrument samples oil from the transformer or LTC
filtration unit, extracts the gases, analyzes them, and then returns the oil back to the transformer or
LTC filtration unit. With this process in mind, there are three types of valve kits available for
mounting and connecting the SmartDGA instrument to the transformer or LTC filtration unit.
Detailed mounting criteria for each valve kit are provided in Chapter 7.
6.2.1 Single Valve Kit (VA-1)
With this kit, the SmartDGA instrument is mounted directly on the transformer drain valve. The oil
is sampled and returned from this drain valve through a single stainless steel pipe.
Note: This kit is only compatible if the drain valve is a ball, gate, or plug valve.
Note: This mounting approach has inherent limitations and risks and should only be used
when the VA-0 and VA-2 options are not viable.

Flow of the oil
6.2.2 Dual Valve Kit (VA-2)

With this kit, the SmartDGA instrument is mounted directly on the transformer drain valve. The oil
is sampled from the drain valve and returned to the fill valve.

6.2.3 Inline Valve Kit (VA-0)
With this off-transformer kit, the SmartDGA instrument is connected to a mounting plate which is
then attached to the transformer wall, a Unistrut H-frame, or other appropriate flat surface. Oil is
sampled and returned using two different valves (ideally the drain and fill valves).
This is also the only valve kit that can be used for connecting to a LTC. In this case, oil is sampled
and returned using valves in the Filmax filtration unit.
Oil Return Valve
Flow of the oil
Oil Sample Valve
6.2.4 Optional Extra Valve with Tee

If you will need to preserve the ability to use the drain valve for sampling the oil directly from the
transformer, a stainless steel tee and extra valve (with plug) will need to be installed prior to
installation.
Extra Valve
Plug
Tee

7 Mounting for the SmartDGA Instrument
Caution: The SmartDGA Instrument must be installed in a location that is shaded

throughout the day. Rapid sunlight induced heating will negatively affect the
accuracy of measurements. With this in mind, you may need to install a separate
sunshade over the SmartDGA instrument after the installation is complete. LumaSense
offers free design plans for covering SmartDGA instruments that are mounted on a
Unistrut H-frame.
7.1 Clearance around the Mounting Location

When choosing a mounting location, check to ensure that it is suitable for the dimensions of the
SmartDGA instrument and that there is enough clearance for workmanship. For VA-1 or VA-2 kits,
this will be area around the drain valve. For VA-0, this will be the area around where the mounting
plate is attached. Minimum clearance requirements are listed below, but in general we recommend
there be approximately three square feet around the mounting location.
If obstructing objects cannot be moved, a new valve or mounting approach will need to be chosen.
If no locations are feasible, please consult with LumaSense for alternative mounting.
Note: The SmartDGA Instrument is designed for vertical installation. Horizontal

installation is not recommended.
7.1.1 Minimum Clearances (at drain valve or mounting plate location)

Distance left of the drain valve or mounting plate > 18 (45.7 cm)
Distance right of the drain valve or mounting plate > 18 (45.7 cm)
Distance from drain valve or mounting plate to the ground > 12 (25.5 cm)
Distance from drain valve or mounting plate to the top obstruction > 17 (45.7 cm)

7.2 Criteria for Single Valve Mounting (VA-1)

7.2.1 Thread Type of the Drain Valve
In order to connect the SmartDGA instrument to the drain valve using this valve kit, the thread type
of the drain valve needs to be female 1 NPT.
If it is not a 1 NPT thread type, you will need an NPT Reducer that decreases the NPT size from the
present transformer drain valve size to the required 1 NPT size.
Note: If the thread type for the drain valve is greater than 2 NPT, please contact
LumaSense for additional options (such as an adapter plate or fire hose adapter).
LumaSense offers two types of reducers, but they must be ordered separately:
2 to 1 NPT Reducer (LumaSense PN 90-2382)
1.5 to 1 NPT Reducer (LumaSense PN 90-2381)

7.3 Criteria for Dual Valve Mounting (VA-2)
7.3.1 Thread Type of the Drain Valve
In order to mount this valve kit on the drain valve, the thread type for the drain valve needs to be
female 1 NPT. If it is not a 1 NPT thread type, you will need an NPT Reducer that decreases the
NPT size from the present transformer drain valve size to the required 1 NPT size.
LumaSense offers two types of reducers, but they must be ordered separately:
2 to 1 NPT Reducer (PN 90-2382)
1.5 to 1 NPT Reducer (PN 90-2381)
Note: If the thread type for the drain valve is greater than 2 NPT, please contact
LumaSense for additional options (such as an adapter plate, fire hose adapter, etc.).
7.3.2 Thread Type of the Return Valve

In order to connect tubing from this valve kit to the return valve, the thread type for the return
valve needs to be female 3/8 NPT. If it is not a 3/8 NPT thread type, you will need an NPT Reducer
and/or adapter that decrease the NPT size from the present transformer valve size to the required
3/8 NPT size.
LumaSense also offers a Swagelok adapter (PN SS-600-1-16) that will thread into a female 1 NPT
reducer and accept 3/8 tubing, but it must be ordered separately.
7.3.3 Distance between the Drain Valve and Return Valve
To ensure proper oil flow and pressure, the following distance requirements from the drain valve to
the return valve must be met.
Vertical distance from the drain valve to the return valve 3 to 20 (0.91 m to 6.1 m)
Piping distance from the drain valve to the return valve < 32.8 (10.0 m)

7.4 Criteria for Transformer Inline Mounting (VA-0)
7.4.1 Mounting Plate Support
The support for the mounting plate must be capable of holding at least 50 pounds (22 kg) and be
available near the transformer or LTC filtration unit. The typical support will either be the
transformer wall or a Unistrut H-frame supported by concrete. All the support hardware for the
mounting plate must be installed prior to installation.
Example of a mounting plate attached Example of a mounting plate attached to a

concrete.
7.4.2 Thread Type of the Sample and Return Valves

In order to connect tubing from this valve kit to the sample and return valves, the thread types
need to be female 3/8 NPT. If it is not a 3/8 NPT thread type, you will need an NPT Reducer(s)
and/or adapter(s) that decrease the NPT size from the present valve size to the required 3/8 NPT
size.
LumaSense also offers a Swagelok adapter (PN SS-600-1-16) that will thread into a female 1 NPT
reducer and accept 3/8 tubing, but it must be ordered separately.
7.4.3 Distances to the Supply and Return Valves
To ensure proper oil flow and pressure, the following distance requirements from the SmartDGA
instrument (IN/OUT ports) to the supply and return valves must be met.
Vertical distance from the instrument to each valve 3 to 20 (0.91 m 6.1 m)

Piping distance from the instrument to the return valve < 32.8 (10.0 m)
Piping distance from the instrument to the supply valve < 32.8 (10.0 m)

7.5 Criteria for LTC Inline Mounting (VA-0)
As previously stated, the SmartDGA instrument is only compatible with Filmax Filtration Units when
monitoring an LTC. This filtration unit needs to be connected to the LTC prior to installing the
SmartDGA instrument. If desired, LumaSense can provide further technical details and the most
relevant examples of interfaces with specific models of the Filmax filtration units upon request.
7.5.1 Mounting Plate Support
The support for the mounting plate must be capable of holding at least 50 pounds (22 kg). In this
case, the mounting plate is typically mounted on the Filmax filtration unit, but if desired, it can also
be mounted on a nearby transformer wall or a Unistrut H-frame supported by concrete. All the
support hardware for the mounting plate must be installed prior to installation.
7.5.2 Thread Type of the Sample and Return Valves
In order to connect 3/8 tubing from this valve kit to the sample and return valves on the Filmax
filtration unit, the thread types need to be adapted from the 3/4" female NPT to 3/8" female NPT.
These reducers are not provided by LumaSense.
Example of connection to the Filmax Example of the connections on the Filmax filtration

8 Tubing
When mounting with the VA-2 or VA-0 valve kits, 3/8 stainless steel tubing should be used for
connecting the SmartDGA instruments to valves on the transformer or LTC filtration unit.
Rubber pipe clamp needs to be used to secure the stainless steel tubing and you should never have
more than four (4) right angles for each connection from the DGA instrument to the valve.
Alternatively, flexible tubing can also be used.
Warning: Do not cross the top of the tank when routing tubing.
Note: Stainless steel tubing is not available from nor provided by LumaSense for
installation. Ensure you have enough tubing on-hand prior to installation.

9 Mounting for the EZHub
9.1 Mounting Type and Location

The EZHub unit provides power and communications for the SmartDGA system and needs to be
mounted in such a way that it is completely protected from environmental conditions. The EZHub
can be mounted either on a flat surface (wall mount) or in a hole/slot (panel mount). Both types of
brackets (and associated hardware) are provided with the EZHub.

SmartDGA Pre-Installation Manual Mounting for the EZHub 31

When choosing a location for mounting the EZHub, you will also need to keep in mind the distance
to the power source, the distance to SmartDGA instrument(s), and the distance to the iCore (if
applicable). The EZHub unit is typically mounted in a substation control building, a transformer
control cabinet, or a NEMA4X enclosure. NEMA 4X Enclosures are available from LumaSense, but
they must be ordered separately.
Caution: If mounting the EZHub in a NEMA 4X enclosure, keep in mind that direct
sunlight can cause temperatures to reach above the maximum rated ambient
temperature of 55 C, in which case it is recommended that you install a separate
sunshade over the NEMA 4X enclosure after installing the SmartDGA monitoring system.
A shaded installation location is recommended.
Note: If you will be mounting the EZHub unit in a NEMA 4x enclosure, you will need to
mount the enclosure on a wall, Unistrut stand, or Unistrut H-frame prior to installation.
Note: If you will be mounting the EZHub unit in a substation control building or a
transformer control cabinet, you will need to mount the EZHub unit prior to installation.

enclosure on a wall enclosure on a Unistrut Stand near the transformer
9.2 Distance to the SmartDGA Instrument

The EZHub may be located up to 30 m (98) away from the SmartDGA instrument. This distance will
allow you to determine the length of the communications cable that is needed.
A standard 10 m (32) outdoor weather cable (rated -20 C to 150 C) is provided with the EZHub.
Additional length cables, as well as cold weather cables (rated -50 C to 125 C) are available to
order from LumaSense, but they must be ordered separately:
20 m outdoor weather cable (LumaSense PN XX)
30 m outdoor weather cable (LumaSense PN XX)
10 m cold weather cable (LumaSense PN XX)
Note: The communication cable provided will be unterminated on one end so that it can
be fed through conduit (if desired), cut to length, and then terminated (with two
provided Phoenix connectors). Any conduit needs to be laid down prior to installation.

Example of a SmartDGA Instrument mounted Example of a SmartDGA Instrument
close to the EZHub unit. The communications mounted further away from the EZHub
cable is fed through the bottom of the NEMA unit. Conduit was also used to better
4X enclosure. protect the communications cable.
9.3 Power for the EZHub

Prior to installation, you will need to identify a VAC/VDC source
for the EZHub unit and install any necessary power cables using
appropriate conduit.
The EZHub requires 90 to 264 Volts AC, 127 VDC to 370 VDC,
47-63 Hz, 2.5 A max. Use size 14 AWG wire to bring power to
the EZHub.
Each EZHub unit must also have a 10 A circuit breaker for
system isolation and protection (separate from any other iCore
or EZHub units).
Note: LumaSense provides connectors but does not supply a power cable for the EZHub.
Conduit routing example Cable tray routing example


10 Mounting for the LumaSMART iCore
(optional)
10.1 Mounting Type and Location

In order to configure and operate the SmartDGA system with the software, you will need an
external computer or iCore.
If using an iCore it can be mounted either on a flat surface (wall mount) or in a hole/slot (panel
mount). Both types of brackets and hardware are sent with each order. The iCore is typically
mounted in the same NEMA 4X enclosure as the EZHub, although it can be located in any location if
the environmental requirements are met.
Caution: The mounting position and location chosen for the iCore should ensure that the
vents on the top of the iCore box will not be blocked during normal operation. Blocked
vents could cause the iCore to overheat.
Caution: Direct sunlight will cause heating of the enclosure and may cause overheating
beyond the temperature rating of the iCore.
Note: If mounting in a NEMA4X enclosure, keep environmental conditions in mind. Direct

sunlight can cause temperatures to reach above the maximum rated ambient temperature
of 70 C. Direct sunlight will greatly reduce the apparent contrast of the iCore LCD display
and make it difficult to operate. A shaded installation location is recommended.

10.2 Distance to the EZHub

The allowable distance will vary depending on the type of connection used. Regardless of the type
of connection, conduit must be used when necessary. All conduit must be laid prior to installation.
If using RS485:
The iCore may be located up to 50 m (164) away from the EZHub.
If using Ethernet (copper wire):
The iCore may be located up to 100 m (328) away from the EZHub. If longer distances are required,
a fiber optic connection should be used.

10.3 Power for External Computer or iCore
External Computer
If using an external computer, you will need to provide your own separate power supply (battery or
otherwise).
LumaSMART iCore
The iCore has the same power requirements as the EZHub unit.
It requires 90 to 264 Volts AC, 127 VDC to 370 VDC, 47-63 Hz, 2.5 A max. Use size 14 AWG wire for
the included crimps and connectors to bring power to the iCore. Each iCore must have a 10 A circuit
breaker for system isolation and protection (separate from any other iCore or EZHub units).
Note: LumaSense provides connectors but does not supply a power cable for the iCore.


11 Communications
Data stored in the EZHub can be viewed using the DGA Viewer software installed on an external PC
or the LumaSmart iCore connected via RS485 or Ethernet connection. The USB connection is for
uploading and downloading functions (such as downloading data or uploading a new version of
firmware). Depending on your needs protocols may also be used for communications.
Example of an EZHub unit and iCore Example of all the EZHub connections for
controller connected to an Ethernet switch. power and communications.
SmartDGA Pre-Installation Manual Communications 39

11.1.1 RS845 Connection
RS485 connection to the EZHub requires RS485 to USB converter (included with the EZHub) and a
shielded 18 AWG cable.
iCore RS485 connections
11.1.2 Ethernet Connection

Ethernet connection to the EZHub requires that a switch is available (if installed on a corporate
network) or that a hub is available (if installed on a standalone network). For fiber optic
connection, an Ethernet/Serial to Fiber converter needs to be used.
Note: If using an Ethernet Switch for multiple EZHubs connected to the iCore, you will
need one port for the iCore, one port for the network, and one port for each EZHub.
Note: If fiber optical cables are needed, the all-weather fiber optic should be used with a
rugged jacket. In addition, the fiber optic cables need to be routed into the trench or if
outside, the cables need to be protected with black PVC pipe or flexible conduit.

iCore Ethernet Connections
Multiple EZHub Setup with Ethernet Hub

11.1.3 Data Communications
DGA Viewer supports Modbus protocol on an external PC or an iCore. For DNP3 and IEC61850, an
iCore must be used to run the DGA Viewer software. Data can also be exported from the EZHub as a
CSV file via USB.
For alarms and relays, LumaSense provides connectors, but does not provide cables.
Note: We do not support the 32 bits system and other wireless connection beside DeltaX.
All SCADA/DCS, PLC systems should communicate via iCore with DGA viewer installed.
Note: The protocols must be updated to the latest version(s) in order to be compatible
with the EZHub.
