Product Description

3.1 General
The MOP301 is a robust probe for moisture in oil and temperature measurement. Its IP66 rating and the E+E proprietary sensor leads protection to make it ideal for the highest requirements. It features a moisture in oil measuring range of 0…1 aw, a temperature measuring range of -40…120 °C (-40…248 °F), and a 20 bar (290 psi) pressure rating. Measurement is possible within oil pipes as well as in almost still oil.
The MOP301 is typically deployed in the monitoring lubrication, hydraulic and insulation oils as well as diesel fuel in equipment and machinery. The oil to be monitored may be mineral, synthetic or biodegradable.
Installation is simplified by various mounting options which are supported by E+E accessories.
The MOP301 provides the measured data at its digital RS485 interface via Modbus RTU protocol. The M12x1 connector links the probe to the digital infrastructure.

Mounting and Installation

The probe can be installed in applications such as oil storage with almost non-moving oil or as well in circulation pipes with moving oil.
Please note:
For installation in high voltage equipment, e.g. in power transformers, there may be the danger of electrical shock. Always chose the installation depth so that the required safety distances between the MOP301 probe and any electrically live parts are respected.
If the MOP301 is installed in equipment with moving parts, e.g. in gears, it has to be ensured that the probe does not touch any of these parts.
**In moving oil, the mechanical stress on the probe is minimized by placing only the filter cap into the flow. In systems with mechanical oil contaminants, the sensor may get installed only behind an appropriate filter.
Please note: To maintain its integrity, the probe cable must not be routed over sharp edges. The cable’s minimum bend radius is 5x the cable diameter in fixed installations and 10x the cable diameter when occasionally flexing the cable.
**When mounting a MOP301-T4 by means of ducts, make sure that precautions are taken to prevent the sensor from shooting out. The internal ducting (to the electronics) is suitable for up to 20 bar (290 psi). The respective feedthrough determines the actual working pressure ( <20 bar (<290 psi)). As a rule, non crosssection-constricting and cross-section-constricting (cut-in) screw connections may be used;
cross-sectionconstricting screw connections are only permitted in the rear part as shown in the sketch below (grey area from 32 + 150 mm from the probe tip; clamping is permitted in the grey marked area only, too).

4.1 Installation of the Probe Directly in the Process

For direct probe installation, shut-off valves shall be placed on both sides of the probe insert. This allows the sensor probe to be easily removed for maintenance and calibration.
For direct installation into a pressure chamber, make sure that the pressure in the chamber and the ambient pressure are equal before removing the probe. The temperature during probe installation may deviate by max. ±40 °C (±72 °F) from the regular temperature during normal operation.

Replace the metal sealing ring (see Fig. 5) by a new one every time before re- installing the probe.
Probe installation steps

• Close both shut-off valves.
• Place the sensor probe into the probe insert and adjust the immersion depth.
• Tighten the lock nut with a torque of 30 Nm.
• Open the valves.

**** Strictly Observe the tightening torque. A torque lower than 30 Nm results in a smaller retention force of the clamping sleeve. This leads the risk of sudden expulsion of the sensing probe due to the pressure.
A torque higher than 30 Nm may lead to permanent deformation of the clamping sleeve and the sensing probe. This would make the removal and re-installation of the probe difficult or even impossible.

4.2 Probe Installation with Ball Valve
Ball valve HA050101, HA050104
The ball valve allows for installation and removal of the probe without process interruption. For mounting into the pipe, the ball valve shall be installed perpendicular to the flow direction.
** The two metal sealing rings (see Fig. 6) shall be replaced every time prior to re-installing the probe.
The temperature during probe installation may deviate by max. ±40 °C (±72 °F) from the regular temperature during normal operation.
Probe installation steps (see Fig. 6)**

• Install the probe into the ball valve while the ball valve is closed.
• Open the ball valve.
• Slide the probe through the ball valve to the desired immersion depth. Depending on the process pressure additional tools may be necessary for pushing the probe into the process. Make sure not to damage the probe and the cable.
• Tighten the lock nut with a torque of 30 Nm.

**** Strictly observe the tightening torque. A torque lower than 30 Nm results in a smaller retention force of the clamping sleeve. As a result, there is the risk that the sensing probe will suddenly be ejected due to the pressure. A torque higher than 30 Nm may lead to permanent deformation of the clamping sleeve and the sensing probe. This would make the removal and re- installation of the probe difficult or even impossible.

Removing the probe

• Hold the probe firmly so that it is not suddenly ejected when the lock nut is released. Make sure not to bend and damage the probe cable.
• Loosen the lock nut slowly with a spanner (spanner size 24) until the probe is pushed out by the system pressure. Do not loosen the lock nut completely, but only until the probe slides out by itself. If the system is almost pressureless, pull out the sensor slightly.
• After the probe has been pushed out of the process up to the stop, close the ball valve.
• Remove the probe from the ball valve.

** Observe the correct positioning of the sealing element 1 before reinstalling the probe.
Replacement of the sealing element**
In the case of repeated installations and removals, sealing element 1 might be damaged. It can be replaced by the user.

4.3 Sampling Cell with Shut-off Function
Sampling cell with shut-off function, PN40, DN25 HA050109
The sampling cell with a shut-off function is designed for placing a MOP301 in a bypass oil sampling or as well directly into the process. In both cases, the sampling cell could be moved into the oil flow or in a service position by interrupting the oil flow. When closing the G 1/2″ ISO sensor port with a sealing plug,
the sampling cell with a shut-off function works like a ball valve. Using the sampling cell with a shut-off function
works like the method described in chapter 4.1 Installation of the Probe Directly in the Process, however
without the need for stop valves in upstream and downstream of the measurement point.
Technical data of the sampling cell 1)
Pipe thread: Rp / Whitworth thread according to EN 10226 (old DIN 2999)
Senor port thread: G 1/2″ ISO
Operating pressure: 40 bar (at max. 80 °C) / 580 psi (at max. 176 °F)
Temperature range: -20…180 °C (-4…356 °F)
Wetted parts: Stainless steel 1.4408 & PTFE

1. Please note that specifications of probe and sampling cell may restrict each other in terms of temperature and pressure application range.
   Replace the metal sealing ring (see Fig. 6) by a new one every time before re- installing the probe.The temperature during probe installation may deviate by max. ±40 °C (±72 °F) from the regular temperature during normal operation.
   Probe installation steps

• Shut off the valve
• Place the sensor probe into the probe insert and adjust the immersion depth
• Tighten the lock nut with a torque of 30 Nm
• Open the valve

**** Strictly observe the tightening torque. A torque lower than 30 Nm results in a smaller retention force of the clamping sleeve. This leads to the risk of sudden expulsion of the sensing probe due to the pressure.
A torque higher than 30 Nm may lead to permanent deformation of the clamping sleeve and the sensing probe. This would make the removal and re-installation of the probe difficult or even impossible.
By removing the probe, close first the shut-off valve. Before opening the valve, ensure that the sensor port contains a sensor or is closed by a sealing plug.

5.4 Freely Configurable Custom Modbus Map
It is possible to map measured value/status registers arbitrarily in a block with up to 20 registers provided for this purpose. This means that registers of interest may be mapped in an area with consecutive registers, so that important values can be queried with a single command in one block.
The custom map can be configured via:

1. PCS10 Product Configuration Software and the Modbus configuration adapter HA011018.
   The PCS10 can be downloaded free of charge from www.epluse.com/pcs10.

2. Modbus protocol commands, refer to the example in chapter 5.6 Modbus RTU Examples.

 The register block for the configuration of the customisable Modbus map consists of the registers 6001 (0x1770) to 6010 (0x1779). For the blockwise query of the measured values behind Modbus registers 3001 (0xBB8) to 3020 (0xBCB), the firmware accesses this configuration area and thus gets the information which measured value/status registers are to be output. A maximum of 10 user-defined registers can be mapped. The table below shows an example:
