5.6 Opening the Valve
This step should be performed according to company
regulations. Proceed carefully to avoid introducing air into the
transformer. Use a bucket to collect the oil.
1. Using the supplied 5/32-in Allen key, fully close the sensor’s bleed screw and
then open it 1/8 of turn.
2. Slowly open the transformer valve until oil leaks out of the sensor’s sampling
port (see Figure 16 below).

tightly.
