    What to do if oil is leaking from the Vaisala Monitor?
    • R
      Robert CastilloAug 27, 2025
      If oil is leaking from inside the DGA monitor or the connecting pipes, it may be due to a loose connection or faulty piping. Tighten any loose connections. If the leakage continues, stop the measurement and complete the uninstallation procedure before maintenance. If maintenance cannot start immediately, close the transformer valves to prevent more oil from leaking into the system.

    How to fix 'connection is not secure' warning on Vaisala Measuring Instruments?
    • J
      Justin SmithSep 13, 2025
      The warning that the connection is not secure when connecting to the user interface of your Vaisala Measuring Instruments appears because the user interface is secured using a self-signed certificate. To resolve this, create a trusted certificate and key and configure the user interface security to use them, or disable HTTPS security (not recommended). Alternatively, you can ignore the warning and proceed to the user interface, as HTTPS traffic is always encrypted even if the certificate is not trusted.

    How to resolve 'Valve 2 failure' on Vaisala Optimus OPT100?
    • K
      Katie MckenzieSep 4, 2025
      Open the DGA monitor cabinet and locate valve 2. Check the position of the manual lock on valve 2. If the grey knob is pushed down, the valve is locked and that is causing the error. Turn the knob counter-clockwise 90 degrees to open the lock and resolve the error. If the lock is open the valve must be replaced to resolve the error.
