In normal operation DGA monitor repeats the measurement cycle continuously. You can only start the measurement if DGA monitor is currently in standby.

  1. Connect to the DGA monitor user interface and log in as an Admin user.
  2. Start measurement from Control > Start Measuring.
  3. Wait for the first measurement cycle to complete. Depending on the starting conditions, it may take up to 90 minutes. Verify that there are no oil leaks in the oil pipes or inside DGA monitor.
    If this is the first time measurement is started after initialization, DGA monitor will perform autocalibration. Autocalibration takes from 2 to 5 days depending on conditions. Measurements performed during autocalibration do not meet the accuracy and repeatability specifications and they should not be used for transformer diagnostics.
