Gas;HourlyTrend submenu).
6. Verify the value of the DailyTr Period parameter (period of the daily trend;
Gas;DailyTrend submenu).
7. Verify the value of the Period B parameter (Temperature;DynOil Sampl
submenu).
8. Verify the parameters pertaining to the sensor temperature (Temperature submenu).
9. Consult General Electric Canada to optimize the value of the parameters and the
location of the H201 sensor.

Inaccurate Gas Readings

1. Verify the transformer's level of fault gases-in-oil by performing a dissolved gas
analysis (DGA; see Section 13.2 on page 13-3).
2. Ensure the valve (on which the Hydran 201Ti is installed) is fully open.
