3 IT security
Observe the following recommendations for secure operation of the product.
General
▪ Ensure that only authorized personnel have access to the device.
▪ Only use the device within an ESP (electronic security perimeter). Do not
connect the device to the Internet in an unprotected state. Use mecha-
nisms for vertical and horizontal network segmenting and security gate-
ways (firewalls) at the transition points.
▪ Ensure that the device is only operated by trained personnel who are fa-
miliar with IT security.
Commissioning
Observe the following recommendations for device commissioning:
▪ User IDs must be unique and assignable. Do not use a "Group account"
function or the "Auto login" function.
▪ Activate the "Auto logout" function.
▪ Restrict the rights of the individual user groups as much as is feasible; this
helps avoid errors during operations. A user with the "Operator" role, for
example, should only perform operations and should not be able to
change any device settings.
▪ Delete or disable the default "admin" user ID. This requires first creating a
new user account with the "Administrator" role. You can then use it to
delete or disable the default "admin" account.
▪ Deactivate service user access.
▪ Enable SSL/TLS encryption; access to the device is then only possible us-
ing the SSL/TLS protocol. In addition to encrypting communication, this
protocol also checks the authenticity of the server.
▪ Use TLS version 1.2 or higher wherever possible.
▪ Integrate the device into a public key infrastructure. Create your own SSL
certificates for this if necessary and then import them.
▪ Connect the device to a central log server by using the syslog interface
[►Section 8.7.4, Page 100].
Operation
Observe the following recommendations during device operation:
▪ Change the password at regular intervals.
▪ Export the security log at regular intervals.
▪ Check the log files regularly for unauthorized system access and other se-
curity-related events.
Interfaces
The device uses the following interfaces for communication:

4.3 Function description
The product is a monitoring system for monitoring vibro-acoustic signals
from on-load tap-changers. You can use the product to detect time and am-
plitude anomalies in the vibro-acoustic signal progression and receive event
messages when anomalies are detected.
The on-load tap-changer is equipped with measuring equipment that records
the vibro-acoustic signal in the system throughout the entire tap change se-
quence and analyses it immediately upon completion. In addition, the sys-
tem determines the changed tap position and the oil temperature in the on-
load tap-changer.
4 Product description
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2021
22
6796573/02 EN
MSENSE® VAM
Using the implemented algorithms, the monitoring system can reliably detect
any potential anomalies that occur in the vibro-acoustic signal progression,
taking the temperature variations of the on-load tap-changer oil into account.
Status message
The MSENSE® VAM monitoring system produces a 3-stage status mes-
sage:
Status
Device/visualization dis-
play
SCADA/digital output re-
mote signaling
Normal
OK message through blue
status message
No remote signaling
Warning
The first and the second
anomalies in an evaluation
cluster are indicated via a
yellow status message in
the VAM analysis (Infor-
mation menu).
No remote signaling
Alarm
A third anomaly arising in
an evaluation cluster or
the third successive anom-
aly triggers an additional
event message (Events
menu).
This event message is
transmitted to a connected
SCADA system.
In addition, it can also be
sent to a digital output.
4.4 Performance features
The MSENSE® VAM monitoring system monitors the vibro-acoustic signals
from on-load tap-changers and has the following :
▪ Monitoring on-load tap-changers/reactors in accordance with the technical
specification in the order confirmation
▪ Suitable for on-load tap-changers with oil-switch and vacuum-switch tech-
nology
▪ Recording of the vibro-acoustic signals during on-load tap-changer opera-
tion via automatic triggering
▪ Evaluation of the vibro-acoustic signal progression with regard to time and
amplitude anomalies
▪ Self-learning limit value at an oil temperature above 15 °C, which moves
towards the signal progression with increasing tap-change frequency Ap-
proximately 5 tap-change operations per evaluation cluster (e.g. 5x from
step 1 to step 2 in reverse tap-change operation) are necessary before
the first limit value curve is displayed.
The signals are also evaluated below 15 °C, but the limit value is not ad-
justed.
▪ Display and recording of the measured and calculated values
▪ Status messages via digital outputs
▪ Web-based visualization

5 Packaging, transport and storage
5.1 Packaging
The products are sometimes supplied with sealed packaging and sometimes
in a dry state, depending on requirements.
Sealed packaging surrounds the packaged goods with plastic foil on all
sides.
Products that have also been dried are identified by a yellow label on the
sealed packaging. In the dry state, delivery is also possible in a transport
container.
The information in the following sections should be applied as appropriate.
5.1.1 Suitability
NOTICE
Property damage due to incorrectly stacked crates!
Stacking the crates incorrectly can lead to damage to the packaged goods.
►The outer marking on the packaging states if, for example, the on-load
tap-changer or selector has been packed upright. Never stack these
crates.
►General rule: Do not stack crates above a height of 1.5 m.
►For other crates: Only stack up to 2 equally sized crates on top of one an-
other.
The packaging is suitable to ensure undamaged and fully functional means
of transportation in compliance with local transportation laws and regula-
tions.
The packaged goods are packed in a sturdy crate. This crate ensures that,
when in the intended transportation position, the packaged goods are stabi-
lized to prevent impermissible changes in position, and that none of the parts
touch the loading surface of the means of transport or touch the ground after
unloading.
Sealed packaging surrounds the packaged goods with plastic foil on all
sides. The packaged goods are protected from humidity using a desiccant.
The plastic foil was bonded after the desiccant is added.

5.2 Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments
WARNING
Danger of death or severe injury!
Danger of death or serious injuries due to tipping or falling load.
►Only transport the crate when closed.
►Do not remove the securing material used in the crate during transport.
►If the product is delivered on a pallet, secure it sufficiently.
►Only trained and authorized persons may select the sling gear and se-
cure the load.
►Do not walk under the suspended load.
►Use means of transport and lifting gear with a sufficient carrying capacity
in accordance with the weight stated on the delivery slip.
In addition to oscillation stress, jolts must also be expected during trans-
portation. In order to prevent possible damage, avoid dropping, tipping,
knocking over and colliding with the product.
If a crate tips over, falls from a certain height (e.g. when slings tear) or is
subject to an unbroken fall, damage must be expected regardless of the
weight.
Every delivered shipment must be checked for the following by the recipient
before acceptance (acknowledgment of receipt):
▪ Completeness based on the delivery slip
▪ External damage of any type
The checks must take place after unloading when the crate or transport con-
tainer can be accessed from all sides.

Visible damage
If external transport damage is found upon receipt of the shipment, proceed
as follows:
▪ Immediately record the identified transport damage in the shipping docu-
ments and have this countersigned by the carrier.
▪ In the event of severe damage, total loss or high damage costs, immedi-
ately notify the manufacturer and the relevant insurance company.
▪ After identifying damage, do not modify the condition of the shipment fur-
ther and retain the packaging material until an inspection decision has
been made by the transport company or the insurance company.
▪ Record the details of the damage immediately on site together with the
carrier involved. This is essential for any claim for damages.
▪ Photograph damage to packaging and packaged goods. This also applies
to signs of corrosion on the packaged goods due to moisture inside the
packaging (rain, snow, condensation).
▪
NOTICE! Damage to packaged goods due to damaged sealed packag-
ing. If the product is delivered in sealed packaging, check the sealed
packaging immediately. If the sealed packaging is damaged, do not under
any circumstances install or commission the packaged goods. Either re-
dry the dried packaged goods as per the operating instructions, or contact
the manufacturer to agree on how to proceed.
▪ Identify the damaged parts.
Hidden damage
When damages are not determined until unpacking after receipt of the ship-
ment (hidden damage), proceed as follows:
▪ Make the party responsible for the damage liable as soon as possible by
telephone and in writing, and prepare a damage report.
▪ Observe the time periods applicable to such actions in the respective
country. Inquire about these in good time.
With hidden damage, it is very hard to make the transportation company (or
other responsible party) liable. Any insurance claims for such damages can
only be successful if relevant provisions are expressly included in the insur-
ance terms and conditions.
5.3 Storage of shipments
Packaged goods dried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen
Upon receipt of the shipment, immediately remove the packaged goods
dried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen from the sealed packaging and store
air-tight in dry insulating fluid until used if the packaged goods were not sup-
plied in insulating fluid.
Non-dried packaged goods
Non-dried packaged goods but with a functional sealed packaging can be
stored outdoors when the following conditions are complied with.

6796573/02 EN
MSENSE® VAM
When selecting and setting up the storage location, ensure the following:
▪ Protect stored goods against moisture (flooding, water from melting snow
and ice), dirt, pests such as rats, mice, termites and so on, and against
unauthorized access.
▪ Store the crates on timber beams and planks as a protection against ris-
ing damp and for better ventilation.
▪ Ensure sufficient carrying capacity of the ground.
▪ Keep entrance paths free.
▪ Check stored goods at regular intervals. Also take appropriate action after
storms, heavy rain or snow and so on.
Protect the packaging foil from direct sunlight so that it does not disintegrate
under the influence of UV rays, which would cause the packaging to lose its
sealing function.
If the product is installed more than 6 months after delivery, suitable mea-
sures must be taken without delay. The following measures can be used:
▪ Correctly regenerate the drying agent and restore the sealed packaging.
▪ Unpack the packed goods and store in a suitable storage space (well ven-
tilated, as dust-free as possible, humidity < 50% where possible).
5.4 Unpacking shipments and checking for transportation
damages
▪
NOTICE! Transport the packaged crate to the place where the packaged
goods are to be installed. Do not open the sealed packaging until just be-
fore installation. Otherwise, damage to the packaged goods may occur
due to ineffectively sealed packaging.
▪
WARNING! When unpacking, check the condition of the packaged
goods. Place the packaged goods in an upright crate and protect it from
tipping out. Otherwise, the packaged goods may become damaged and
serious injuries may result.
▪ Check the completeness of the accessories kit using the delivery slip.

6.3.1 Cable recommendation
Please note the following Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen recommendation
when wiring the device.
Excessive line capacitance can prevent the relay contacts from interrupting
the contact current. In control circuits operated with alternating current, take
into account the effect of the line capacitance of long control cables on the
function of the relay contacts.
If you want to route Ethernet connections from a control cabinet or building,
we recommend the use of fiber-optic cables (in accordance with the
IEC 61850-90-4 recommendation).
The sensor cable is included in the scope of delivery and is oil-resistant and
UV-resistant.

6.3.6 Connecting the vibration sensor to the control cabinet
Depending on the application, one or more vibration sensors are included in
the scope of delivery. Repeat the following steps for a multi-column applica-
tion.
You must connect the vibration sensor to the control cabinet using the sen-
sor cable provided. Note the following information when routing the sensor
cable:
▪ Route the sensor cable with as much shielding as possible on the trans-
former (e.g. in the tube or cable duct) and along a conductive grounded
surface that runs without interruption.
▪ Route sensor cables separately from supply lines and do not create any
unnecessary loops.
▪ The vibration sensor cable can also be routed together with the tempera-
ture sensor cable in a protective tube.
▪ On the control cabinet, it is advantageous to have routing parallel to the
earthing cable that connects the transformer and the control cabinet to-
gether.
To route the sensor cable, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the vibration sensor cover cap.
Figure 41: Vibration sensor cover cap
2. Ensure that the sensor cable plug and the socket on the sensor are dry
and free of dirt. If this is not the case, clean and dry them with a cloth.

Tighten the cable screw connections on the control cabinet with the follow-
ing tightening torques: M20: 8 Nm, M32: 20 Nm.
2. Connect the sensor cable in accordance with the connection diagram pro-
vided (blue = signal, brown = signal ground, black = ground in control cab-
inet).
6.3.7 Connecting the motor-drive unit controller to the monitoring
system
To synchronize the vibro-acoustic signals with the tap position change, it is
necessary to measure the diverter switch operation in the motor-drive con-
troller. With the integration solution in the motor-drive unit, this connection is
already made at the factory.
With the "standalone" and "integration solution in the customer control cabi-
net" versions, you must make this connection yourself. To do so, connect the
position transmitter module of the motor-drive unit to the DIO assembly of
the vibro-acoustic monitoring system in accordance with the connection dia-
gram provided.
6.3.8 Connecting the temperature sensor
Depending on the application, one or more temperature sensors are in-
cluded in the scope of delivery. When making the connection, follow the con-
nection diagram on the associated dimensional drawing. Make the connec-
tion to the control cabinet in accordance with the connection diagram pro-
vided for the monitoring system.

You do not need to set additional parameters for commissioning.
7.7 Performing tests
Please contact Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH (MR) if any aspect of
the tests is not clear.

7.7.1 Checking measured values and status of digital inputs and
outputs
Upon commissioning the device, check whether the measured values and
status of digital inputs and outputs are plausible. To do so, use an additional
measuring device if necessary in order to check the individual measured val-
ues.
To display the status of the digital inputs and outputs, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Information > Hardware.
2. Select the individual assemblies one after another and check the individ-
ual measured values or the status of digital inputs and outputs.
3. If errors arise, check the measurement path and the wiring.
7.7.2 Performing function tests
To ensure that the monitoring system functions seamlessly, you have to
check the communication with the sensor and the automatic triggering func-
tion after each installation or maintenance action as follows:
1. Check that the wiring of the sensor and the signal feedback is in accor-
dance with the supplied circuit diagram.
2. Perform a few on-load tap-changes for all positions and in both directions
and check the plausibility of the signal progression including the envelope
curve in the monitoring system.
3. Check that the signals are being recorded and saved correctly.
4. Optional: Check the control system.
ð The monitoring system is ready to function.
7.7.3 Electrical high-voltage tests on the transformer
It is essential that you ensure only trained, instructed expert personnel who
are familiar with and comply with the pertinent safety and technical regula-
tions, who are aware of the potential risks, and who consistently use the oc-
cupational safety equipment provided to prevent injury and property damage
are assigned to perform such a transformer test.
Note the following points before performing high voltage tests on the trans-
former:
▪ Check that the ground connections on the control cabinet and the control
cabinet fixings are free of paint.
▪ Only perform a high voltage test with the control cabinet door closed.
▪ Disconnect the sensor cable and other external connections to electronic
components in the control cabinet to prevent damage through overvolt-
age.
▪ When connecting the control cabinet's supply voltage, only use the bush-
ings in the protective housing base intended for lead insertion.
▪ Guide all ground connecting leads to one central connection point (estab-
lishment of suitable reference earth).
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2021
74
6796573/02 EN
MSENSE® VAM
▪ Disconnect all electronic components before the high voltage test. Before
a dielectric test of the wiring, remove all devices with a withstand voltage
of < 1000 V.
▪ Remove leads used for testing before the high voltage test, because
these function as antennas.
▪ Wherever possible, route the measurement leads and data leads sepa-
rately to the energy cables.
7.7.4 Ground test
For commissioning, carry out a ground test (check of the impedance of the
protective bonding) in accordance with IEC 61010-1. Note the following in-
formation:
▪ Test current: 2 times the measurement current of the overcurrent protec-
tion device of the supply line.
▪ Test duration: 1 minute for each measurement point.
▪ The measured voltage between the measurement point and the protective
conductor must be smaller than 10 V.
Proceed as follows to carry out the ground test:
1. Feed the test current at the fixing screw of assembly DIO 28-15 or DIO
42-20 using a constant current source and measure the voltage between
the measurement point and the protective conductor.
ð The measured voltage must remain less than 10 V over a duration of 1
minute.

MSENSE® VAM
2. Feed the test current at the grounding terminal of the G1 PULS DIMEN-
SION QS3.241 assembly using a constant current source and measure
the voltage between the measurement point and the protective conductor.
ð The measured voltage must remain less than 10 V over a duration of 1
minute.
Figure 54: Perform a ground test on the G1 PULS DIMENSION QS3.241 assembly
7.7.5 Dielectric tests on transformer wiring
Note the following points for dielectric testson the transformer wiring:
The monitoring system has been put through dielectric tests before delivery.
►Before the dielectric test for the transformer wiring, disconnect the moni-
toring system from the section to be tested to rule out increased compo-
nent loading for those components fitted in the control cabinet.

Figure 75: Setting time synchronization
The following sections describe how you can set these parameters.
8.7.3.1
Activating time synchronization using SNTP
You can use this parameter to activate time synchronization using an SNTP
time server.
To activate time synchronization using SNTP, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Time synchronization > Time synchro-
nization via SNTP.
2. Select the option you want.
3. Press the Accept button to save the modified parameter.
Second time server (optional)
As an option, you can use a second time server, e.g. should the first one fail.
When you activate the second time server, the device synchronizes the time
with the second time server if a connection cannot be established with the
first time server. If the device is able to re-establish the connection to the first
time server, it automatically synchronizes the time with the first time server
again.
You can only use the second time server if you have activated the Time
synchronization via SNTP parameter and entered an IP address for the
first time server.
To activate the second time server, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Time synchronization > Activate sec-
ond time server.
2. Select the option you want.

8.7.3.2
Entering the time server address
This parameter lets you enter the IP address of a SNTP time server. If you
are using a time server, the device uses the time of the time server as the
system time.
Be sure to enter a valid time server address that is not 0.0.0.0, otherwise it
will not be possible to connect to the device.
To enter the time server address of the SNTP server, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Time synchronization > SNTP time
server.
2. Enter time server address.
3. Press the Accept button to save the modified parameter.
Entering time server address of second time server (optional)
You can use this parameter to enter the IP address of the second time
server as an option.
To enter the time server address of the second SNTP server, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Time synchronization > SNTP time
server 2.
2. Enter time server address.
3. Press the Accept button to save the modified parameter.
8.7.3.3
Setting the time zone

or SCADA), this time is transferred depending on the set reference time. To
adjust the device time to your local time, you can use the time shift parame-
ter to set the time shift to UTC.
Example:
Region
Time shift to UTC
Mumbai, India
UTC +5:30 h
Beijing, China
UTC +8:00 h
Brasilia, Brazil
UTC -3:00 h
Table 19: Time shift to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
To set the time zone, proceed as follows:
