Safety Information
To guarantee the safety of the operators, the correct installation and proper operation of the
equipment, the following precautions must be taken:

Installation and maintenance services should be performed only by qualified personnel, using
appropriate equipment;

The product instruction manual and specific product documentation must always be consulted
before proceeding with its installation, handling and parameter setting;

Adequate precautions should be taken to avoid drops, knocks and/or risks to the operators and
the equipment;

Do not touch the input and output connectors since high voltages may be present even after
the power has been switched off and keep them isolated from the rest of the principal
command circuit of the panel.

Always disconnect the main power supply and wait for the machine to come to a complete
stop, before touching any electrical component associated with the equipment including
the control connectors. Do not open the cover without taking due precautions, because
high voltages can be present even after the supply has been disconnected.

The equipments electronic boards can have components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharges. Do not directly touch components or connections. If this is absolutely
necessary, then first touch the grounded metal body or use the proper ground bracelet.

Storage Information
Should it be necessary to store the equipment, as well as any of its parts, i.e., electronic boards, panels,
electronic components, spare parts, etc..., for a short period of time prior to their installation and/or
placing them in operating condition, the following precautions should be observed:

The equipment and its parts must be kept in their original packaging or in packaging which
provides the same safety conditions concerning physical damage, high temperatures and
humidity, to prevent oxidation of the contacts and metal parts, damage to integrated circuits or
any other damage due to improper storing;

The properly packaged equipment must be stored in a dry, well ventilated place away from direct
sunlight, rain, wind and other adverse weather conditions, to guarantee the preservation of its
functional characteristics;

The non-observance of the above recommendations, could exempt the company

supplying the equipment from any responsibility referring to the resulting damages as
well as the loss of warranty of the equipment or of the damaged part.

1 INTRODUCTION
The GMT6-C is a digital temperature monitor that allows visualization, monitoring and
simultaneous protection of six temperature channels, using RS485 communication. Used for protection of
machines, transformers and industrial processes.
Uses GCS converters to transform the voltage signals of the temperature transducers into current
signals, reducing noise and interference when measuring.

6 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Figure 2 - Programming Interface

UP key this key has two functions:

Advance one screen;

Increase in 1 (one) the programmed limit, when the cursor is blinking.

DOWN key - this key has two functions:

Return one screen;

Decrease in 1 (one) the programmed limit, when the cursor is blinking.

ENTER key this key has four functions:

When pressd while on the main screen, it turns off the indication LEDs and disables the
relays.

When pressed while on the screen that contains the maximum values, it resets the maximum
values reached.

When pressed while on the screen that contains the limits, it allows the alteration of the
parameter using the UP and DOWN keys ( the cursor will be blinking)

When pressed while the cursor is blinking, it saves the value of the limit.

It signals communication. When the GMT6c is communicating with another unit this signal will be
blinking.

When blinking it signals that the microprocessor is working properly. This signal must be always
blinking. If it is not, the quipment is not working correctly.

It signals alarms and protections:

When blinking it signals an alarm, that is, the temperature of the corresponcing channel has
surpassed the first limit.

When lit constantly, it signals a protection, that is, the temperature of the channel has
surpassed the second limit.

8 INSTALLATION RECOMENDATIONS

Use armored cables between the GMT6-C connectors (channel 1 to 6) and the GCSPT100;

Preferably supply the GMT6-C using a power supply bus bar different from the one used to
supply the panel contactors.

The GSPT100 must be as close as possible to the temperature sensor used.

These limits can be modified by pressing the enter key while in these screens. The cursor will blink on the
first limit, which can be altered by pressing the up or down keys until reaching the desired value. You can
then press "enter" to save it. The cursor will then blink on the second limit, which can be altered using the
previous procedure.

Screen 10 - Shows the maximum temperature variation rate. This parameter shows the maximum
temperature variation rate that the GMT6c can accept. If the temperature varies faster than the
programmed value, the variation will be limited to that value. This parameter is to filter noise in noisy
environments. Great care must be taken when programming this paramenter,because if set two low it can
cause the protection to ocurr too late. It is recommended that this parameter is set to 250 initially and
only modified if noise problems arise

10 CALIBRATION

For a fine adjustment of the measured temperatures, turn on the GMT6-C while pressing the up and
down keys together. Two other screens with the gains of each input will appear. These gains can be
adjusted to obtain a more accurate measurement.

11 MESSAGES

When the measured temperature is higher than 250, the display will show the message error. Even
then, if the limit of the each input is different from OFF, the alarm will actuate normally.
If there is no PT100 connected to the GMT6-C input or if the measured temperature is lower than 1, it will
show: ---.
For safety reasons, the alarms of the inputs that are not connected must be turned off.
