Oil must always be visible in the oil sight gauge since the gauge is located at minimum oil level. Todetermine or adjust the 25°C oil level, remove the handhole cover (after relieving the tank pressure). The 25°C (77°F) level isindicated at the right of the handhole on the inside wall of the tank (looking at the control side of the regulator). Approximateoil level variations either side of the 77°F (25°C) line are 0.2 to 0.25 inches per 10°F change in oil temperature.If the regulator has been in storage for a considerable length of time, the oil should be tested according to ASTM D-877, withflat disk electrodes, one inch in diameter, spaced 0.1 inch apart.Filter the oil if the dielectric strength is less than 22 kV. The care of the oil and method of sampling and testing are given inanother publication which will be furnished upon request.3.2 Checking Regulator Controls & Control Settings Prior to EnergizationWarning: Short circuit and ground the high voltage terminals of the regulator as a safeguard against dangerous voltagefrom accidental excitation of the high voltage windings.All VR-1 regulators equipped with a GE-2011 control are programmed at the factory with the following settings listed in thetable below prior to shipment, unless otherwise specified by the customer:Table 1.

Place the MOTOR CONTROL switch to manual. The RAISE/LOWER switch is spring loaded and will be in theOFF position.2. Move the VOLTAGE SOURCE switch to EXTERNAL, See Figure 2. This automatically disconnects the internalpower to the control. Apply 120 VAC 50/60HZ to the EXTERNAL INPUT terminals. Be sure to connect the low sideof the external source to the left terminal (color white) and the hot lead of the external supply to the right terminal(color black).Caution: Do not apply power to the meter out terminals. Application of power to the meter out terminals can cause adangerous high voltage on the voltage regulator high voltage terminals located on the tank cover.3. The control will display a sequence of information such as the control model number, serial number, softwareversion, date, time, and defaults to the Local Voltage, which will be the value of the power supply used to energizethe control.Note: Default set points cannot be changed when, Level 1 password is enabled & not known by the user.
