Dual Hydrogen Control Panel (DHCP) System
Important Information
5 HA0156P01 Rev. D
Introduction
Modern high capacity turbine generators use hydrogen gas as a cooling medium. Two
reasons for using hydrogen are 1) hydrogen has the best heat transfer characteristics of any
gas; and 2) the low atomic weight of hydrogen makes it the lightest and, therefore, has the
lowest density of any stable gas (10 percent that of air at a purity of 98 percent), resulting in
the lowest windage losses.
The hydrogen auxiliary system exists to maintain the quality and quantity of cooling gas
required to ventilate the conducting and rotating parts of hydrogen cooled generators. Gland
seals are used to prevent hydrogen leakage through the clearance between the shaft and
the frame.
In order to maintain hydrogen gas purity of approximately 98 percent, some generators use
a seal gland system, where a small quantity of hydrogen gas is continuously scavenged
from two (collector end and turbine end) seal drain enlargements and discharged into the
atmosphere.
The Dual Hydrogen Control Panel (DHCP) contains two independent Generator Gas Analyz-
ers (GGA’s) and circuitry to control the rate of scavenging in order to maintain high gas
purity. Environment One’s microprocessor-controlled Generator Gas Analyzer (GGA), with
its triple-range sensor cell, is capable of measuring 70 to 100 percent H2 in Air, 0 to 100
percent H2 in CO2 and 0 to 100 percent Air in CO2.
Each GGA continuously analyzes the generator cooling gas, displays gas purity in real time
and has a corresponding 4 to 20 mA output. In the event that the gas purity falls to a warn-
ing or alarm level, a visual indication is given and alarm contacts are switched.
The GGA’s triple-range sensor cell also monitors purge gases used during generator shut-
down and maintenance. Purge gas purity is displayed and a corresponding 4 to 20 mA
output is provided for H2 in CO2 or Air in CO2.

System Description
The Dual Hydrogen Control Panel (DHCP) is designed for use on hydrogen-cooled genera-
tors. It is designed to operate in Class 1, Division 1, Group B hazardous areas. The DHCP
analyzes and, in real time, displays the hydrogen gas purity on built-in numeric displays.
Environment One’s GGA can be supplied as an Ex, CE labeled system for Zone 1 environ-
ments. Contact Environment One for details.
• 3 moisture indicators
• 4 metering valves
• 2 local display panels that indicate gas purity and specific operating conditions
Analyzers and their printed circuit boards (PCBs) are interchangeable. Each analyzer is
comprised of a sensing unit, controller PCB, sensor cells and input/output (I/O) PCB. All
PCB’s are housed in the main junction box (Figure 1); local display panels are mounted on
the front of the panel (Figure 1).
Each analyzer independently provides purity monitoring, calibration, mode selection, sensor
unit control, alarm electronics, data logging, system inputs/outputs and sensing unit
linearization. See Figure 8 for display panel features and functions.
1. On power-up the GGA must execute and pass qualifying self tests. Failure in any test
results in termination of operation and annunciation of the condition causing the failure.
HA0156P01 Rev. D 8
(Gas Analyzers cont’d)
3. The GGA is completely self-supervised and continuously checks itself for legal processor
functioning, internal voltages, analog-to-digital conversion accuracy, integrity of cabling
and relay operation. Any faults are immediately annunciated as “trouble” on the display
and accompanied by a change in the corresponding relay state.
Control/Display Panel
The Control/Display Panel provides control of all functions of the GGA as well as complete
annunciation of the status of the GGA (Figure 7). Functions are accessed by means of a
four-button membrane-switch keypad and 16-character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Gener-
ally, pressing the Fn (Function) key causes the LCD to continuously scroll the names of the
GGA’s available functions. A function may then be accessed by pressing the ENTER key
when the function name appears. To signal confirmation, the function name flashes briefly.
The Display Panel provides Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to annunciate the Normal (H2 in
air), Purge (H2 in CO2 and air in CO2), and Calibrate (H2, CO2 and N2) GGA states. In addi-
tion, they indicate Warning, Alarm and Trouble conditions. A green LED indicates AC Power.
It is important to understand that, should the GGA go into either Warning and/or Alarm,
it will lock into continuous monitoring of the gas stream. No other function can be
accessed unless the Alarm/Warning Reset key is first pressed.
To permit a system level initialization (“cold start”), a momentary push-button, located behind
the Display Panel (Figure 7) in the upper right hand corner, may be pressed. Since all
calibration constants are stored in non-volatile memory, these values will not be lost should
the system be initialized or should it lose, then regain, AC power.
Note: Flow indication changes with different gases. For hydrogen, the flow should be set for
500 cc/min.
Note: Flow indication changes with different gases. Metering valves adjust the flow of the
collector end low flow, collector end high flow, turbine end low flow and turbine end high
flow. See Flow Calibration for flow settings.

Differential Pressure Gage (PDI-292)
A differential pressure gage measures the generator fan differential pressure (Fan
Differential, Figure 1). The standard differential pressure gage has dual scales with ranges of
0 to 30 inches H 2O and 0 to 76.2 gm/cm2. Some units may be equipped with special gage
scales.
Purifiers
Three gas purifiers remove foreign matter from the hydrogen stream (Turbine End Purifier,
Case Purifier, Collector End Purifier; Figure 1). Removal of oil, water and particles above 12
microns is accomplished through the use of molecular sieve materials and special filters.
The filters are available in replaceable cartridges, HA0139P02.
HA0156P01 Rev. D 10
Installation
Follow the installation instructions to ensure proper installation of the equipment. The exact
location of the DHCP should be in accordance with the recommendations made by General
Electric or its authorized representative.
Cabinet Mounting
Choose a location that is not subject to extremes of dust, temperature, vibration or shock.
The panel should be accessible for service, with adequate clearance to open the enclosure
and display panel doors (Figure 1). The DHCP has four foundation bolt openings (Figure 1).
The openings allow you to insert four 5/8-inch bolts for securing the panel to the floor. The
bolts are isolated from the panel through the use of compression vibration insulators. Use
fasteners that are compatible with the mounting surface and able to support the weight of
the panel. Lifting bolts at the top of the panel allow for easy connection to overhead cranes.
Lifting
The DHCP should be lifted by the pair of eye bolts provided at the top of the frame.
Electrical Connections
Prior to applying power to the DHCP unit, ensure that the local power source matches the
power rating on the DHCP nameplate.
The DHCP unit is shipped with all isolation and metering valves closed. All gas lines must be
connected to the DHCP and leak-tested before continuing.
Electrical connections are made through four 3/4-inch male conduit unions at the bottom or
top of the panel (Figure 1). System power requirements are 120 or 220 Volts AC (systems
are supplied for specifically 120 V or 220 V). The AC power source should be reliable and
not subject to severe transients. Total load max.: 400 watts.
Electrical connections, located inside of the main junction box, are accessed by removing 32
3/4” hex captive bolts. Two guide studs are provided for assistance in removal/replacement.
CAUTION! Do not scratch sealing surfaces on the main junction box. The main
junction box lid weighs 50 lbs (22.7 kg). Take precautions during removal. Prior to
opening the main junction box, remove power from the DHCP and ensure the system
is free of hydrogen.
Wire routing should be in accordance with Figure 3 or 4. This ensures that noise generated
from the AC power and contacts does not interfere with the signals. Connections are made
to barrier type terminal strips (Figure 3).
11 HA0156P01 Rev. D
Contacts/Signals
The DHCP includes alarm and status relays (Figures 3, 9, 10). They are:
• Warning Relay Both a normally open and a normally closed contact (single pole, double
throw configuration) is provided and a warning is signaled by an energized relay.
• Alarm Relay Both a normally open and a normally closed contact (single pole, double
throw configuration) is provided and an alarm is signaled by an energized relay.
• Trouble Relay Both a normally open and a normally closed contact (single pole, double
throw configuration) is provided and Trouble is signaled by an energized relay.
• 4-20 mA output signals are provided for Analyzer #1, Analyzer #2 and the DP Transmit-
ter (Figure 3).
• The 4-20 mA signals for Analyzer #1 and Analyzer #2 correspond to 70 to 100 percent in
Normal mode (H2 in air) and 0 to 100 percent in Purge modes (H2 and CO2 & Air in CO2).
• Analyzer #1 and Analyzer #2’s output signals are internally powered. These signals
are not to be powered by the Mark V, Mark VI.
• The 4-20 mA signal for the DP Transmitter is powered by the Mark V, Mark VI.
See Figure 3 for locations of signals on terminal block. See Figures 9 and 10 for description
of conditions where relays are activated.
Circuit Protection
Each GGA is individually fused. A half-amp slo-blo fuse, located on the Input/Output PCB,
provides circuit protection.
HA0156P01 Rev. D 12
System Operation
The DHCP’s main purpose is to analyze and display the hydrogen gas purity of hydrogen
cooled generators. This section describes system operation.
DHCP Initialization
With system power on, press the RESET push-button on the backside of the DISPLAY
PANEL (Figure 7). Reset each of the two gas analyzer units separately.
The GGA will perform several self tests and, if they are successful, the DISPLAY PANEL will
respond with (a) all discrete LEDs lit; (b) all segments and the tenths place decimal point of
the GAS PURITY display lit; and (c) all pixels of the LCD display on. Within several seconds
(a) all discrete LEDs, except the AC POWER and TROUBLE LEDS, will turn off; (b) all
segments, except the tenths place decimal point of the GAS PURITY display will turn off;
and (c) the display will indicate LINKING …, as the DISPLAY PANEL initiates
communication with the rest of the system. Communication should be established within
several seconds and the LCD display will then echo the results of cold-start initialization:
• INITIALIZING …
• 12 BIT ADC …
• … CALIBRATED Note: If calibration is unsuccessful then the LCD will display 12 BIT
ADC ERROR. After annunciating TROUBLE, the processor will be stopped because, at
this point in the start-up sequence, this condition is a fatal error. Contact Environment
One at (518) 346-6161.
• 8 BIT ADC …
• … CALIBRATED Note: If calibration is unsuccessful then the LCD will display 8 BIT
ADC ERROR. After annunciating TROUBLE, the processor will be stopped because, at
this point in the start-up sequence, this condition is a fatal error. Contact Environment
One at (518) 346-6161.
• Iout SET TO 4 mA where Iout is the 4-20 mA GGA output. See below.
• Tcell = XX.X 0C (where XX.X is the instantaneous cell block temperature). For an inde-
terminate period (normally not exceeding 15 minutes for a cold start), the LCD will
display the real-time temperature of the sensor cell block. When the temperature rises to
55.0 C +/- 0.5 C, the system will advance and the display will indicate:
• ANALYZER READY After this last message, all discrete LEDs will go out except AC
POWER and TROUBLE. In response to the prompts NORMAL (H2/AIR), CONFIGURE
VALVES, permit the sample gas to flow through the sensor then press the ENTER key.
This is the NORMAL mode of operation. See Normal for more information.
For a first time installation, it is essential that a gas sensor calibration be performed on the
system. Also, the faults log should be cleared. See System for more information.

metering valve HO-2973 for a total flow of approximately 2000 SCCM at total flow meter FI-
2973. After adjustment is made, ensure that FY-2973 is de-energized by the generator
control system (Mark V).
Set Cell #2 flow. Open isolation valves HV-2974, HV-2982 and HV-2981; adjust the flow
meter/metering valve FI-2972 for a flow of approximately 500 SCCM. Total flow meter FI-
2973 should indicate approximately 1500 SCCM. Close HV-2973, HV-2974, HV-2982 and
HV-2981.
Set TE low flow. Open isolation valve HV-2971. Adjust the turbine end low flow metering
valve HO-2972 for a flow setting of approximately 1000 SCCM at total flow meter FI-2973.
Set TE high flow. While Mark V is energizing FY-2971, adjust the turbine end high flow
metering valve HO-2971 for a total flow of approximately 2000 SCCM at total flow meter FI-
2973. After adjustment is made, ensure that FY-2971 is de-energized by the generator
control system (Mark V).
Set Cell #1 flow. Open isolation valves HV-2972, HV-2979 and HV-2980. Adjust the indica-
tor/metering valve FI-2971 for a flow of approximately 500 SCCM. Total flow meter FI-2973
should indicate approximately 1500 SCCM.
Open HV-2973, HV-2974, HV-2982 and HV-2981. Total flow meter FI-2973 should indicate
approximately 3000 SCCM.
Gas Calibration
Calibrate each of the two gas analyzer units separately.
Press the Fn key on the GGA. Wait until the display scrolls to the prompt GAS
CALIBRATION then press the ENTER key. The display will scroll the prompts CALIBRATE
H2, CALIBRATE CO2 and CALIBRATE N2. Wait until the display scrolls to the prompt
CALIBRATE H2 then press the ENTER key. In response to the prompts CALIBRATE H2,
CONFIGURE VALVES, permit the hydrogen calibration gas to flow through the sensor. With
the calibration gas flowing the LCD will display the voltage output of the reference cell
sensor in the format Vref=X.XXX VDC. Press the Fn key to cancel the calibration at this
point, if desired; this will permit a return to the main menu. If desired to continue the
calibration, observe the reference voltage and, if it appears stable (i.e., a final change of not
greater than 1 to 2 mV per minute), press the ENTER key.
The LCD will display the voltage output of the sample cell sensor in the format
“Vcell=X.XXXVDC.” Again, the calibration may be terminated by pressing Fn. If it is
HA0156P01 Rev. D 14
(Gas Calibration Cont’d)
continued, observe the sample cell voltage as it adjusts to the flowing H 2 calibration span
gas. When it appears stable (i.e., a final change of not greater than 1 mV per minute, which
occurs within approximately 15 minutes) press the ENTER key. The LCD will display H2
CALIBRATED. This concludes H 2 calibration.
The display will scroll the prompts CALIBRATE H 2, CALIBRATE CO2 and CALIBRATE N 2.
Press the Fn key on the GGA to return to the main menu or to continue gas calibration, wait
until the display scrolls to the prompt CALIBRATE CO2 and press the ENTER key. In
response to the prompts CALIBRATE CO2, CONFIGURE VALVES, permit the CO2
calibration gas to flow through the sensor. With the calibration gas flowing the LCD will
display the voltage output of the reference cell sensor in the format Vref=X.XXX VDC. If
desired to cancel the calibration at this point, press the Fn key; this will permit a return to the
main menu. If desired to continue the calibration, observe the reference voltage and, if it
appears stable (i.e., a final change of not greater than 1 to 2 mV per minute), press the
ENTER key.
The LCD will display the voltage output of the sample cell sensor in the format Vcell=X.XXX
VDC. Again, the calibration may be terminated by pressing Fn. If it is continued, observe the
sample voltage as it adjusts to the flowing CO2 calibration zero gas. When it appears stable
(i.e., a final change of not greater than 1 to 2 mV per minute, which occurs within
approximately 15 minutes), press the ENTER key. The LCD will display CO2 CALIBRATED.
This concludes CO2 calibration.
The display will scroll the prompts CALIBRATE H2, CALIBRATE CO2 and CALIBRATE N2.
Press the Fn key on the GGA to return to the main menu, or to continue gas calibration, wait
until the display scrolls to the prompt CALIBRATE N2, press the ENTER key. In response to
the prompts CALIBRATE N2, CONFIGURE VALVES, permit the nitrogen calibration gas to
flow through the sensor. With the calibration gas flowing the LCD will display the voltage
output of the reference cell sensor in the format Vref=X.XXX VDC. If desired to cancel the
calibration at this point, press the Fn key; this will permit a return to the main menu. If
desired to continue the calibration, observe the reference voltage and, if it appears stable
(i.e., a final change of not greater than 1 to 2 mV per minute) press the ENTER key.
The LCD will display the voltage output of the sample cell sensor in the format Vcell=X.XXX
VDC. Again, the calibration may be terminated by pressing Fn. If it is continued, observe the
sample voltage as it adjusts to the flowing N 2 calibration zero/span gas. When it appears
stable (i.e., a final change of not greater than 1 to 2 mV per minute, which occurs within
approximately 15 minutes) press the ENTER key. The LCD will display N 2 CALIBRATED.
This concludes N 2 calibration.
Press the Fn key to return to the main menu. This concludes the gas sensor calibration of
the GGA system.
Normal Operation
Note: It is important to verify the lines connecting LE025 to the turbine-end seal drain
enlargement, LE026 to the collector-end seal oil enlargement and LE028 to the case fan
pressure are filled with hydrogen before placing the system in Normal operation.
NORMAL operation of the GGA system can be accessed by first pressing the Fn key to
access the main menu and, then, pressing the ENTER key when the display scrolls to the
prompt NORMAL (H2 in Air). In response to the prompts NORMAL (H2 in Air), CONFIGURE
VALVES, permit the sample gas to flow through the sensor then press the ENTER key. In
15 HA0156P01 Rev. D
(Normal Operation Cont’d)
the NORMAL mode of operation the GGA can respond to both WARNING and ALARM levels.
Both levels are programmable (see SETTINGS, above, for detailed information). The 4-20
mA current output of the GGA corresponds to 70 to 100 percent gas purity and the GGA
must remain below the WARNING or ALARM level for a minimum of one minute to generate
an alarm. Should the GGA go into WARNING, it will energize the WARNING RELAY (Figure 3)
and illuminate the WARNING LED. Further system operation is locked out until the WARNING
RESET key is pressed (at which point the GGA will revert to NORMAL operation).
Purge Operation
To monitor a purge operation, first press the Fn key to access the main menu, and then
press ENTER when the display scrolls to the prompt PURGE (H2 in CO2) or PURGE (Air in
CO2) key. In response to either the prompt PURGE (H2 in CO2) or PURGE (Air in CO2),
CONFIGURE VALVES, permit the sample gas to flow through the sensor then press the
ENTER key. The Display Panel will respond with the corresponding PURGE (H2 in CO2) or
PURGE (Air in CO2) LED illuminated. In this mode the 4 to 20 mA current output of each
GGA corresponds to 0 to 100 percent gas purity. There is no alarm level for either of the
PURGE operations.
Mode Menu
The following items are available by pressing the Fn key:
• NORMAL (H2/AIR) This item, when displayed, can be selected by pressing the ENTER
key. See Normal Operation for more information.
• PURGE This item, when displayed, can be selected by pressing the ENTER key. See
Purge Operation for more information.
• GAS CALIBRATION This item, when displayed, can be selected by pressing the
ENTER key. See Gas Calibration for more information.
• SETTINGS This item, when displayed, can be selected by pressing the ENTER key. If
selected, two sub-items will be displayed: ALARM LEVEL and WARNING LEVEL. These
sub-items permit adjustment of the levels at which system alarm and warning are
annunciated. To adjust the ALARM LEVEL, press the ENTER key when this sub-item
appears. The LCD will display the current purity level (in percent purity) at, or above
which, the system will annunciate an alarm condition. This value can be adjusted, by
using the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys, between 80 percent and 1 percent
less than the setting for the warning level. The new level can be selected by pressing the
ENTER key. The new level will not be selected if the Fn key is pressed instead. To
adjust the WARNING LEVEL, press the ENTER key when this sub-item appears. The
LCD will display the current purity level (in percent purity) at, or above which, the system
will annunciate a warning condition. This value can be adjusted, by using the UP
ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys, between 1 percent more than the setting for the
alarm level and 99.9 percent. The new level can be selected by pressing the ENTER
key. The new level will not be selected if the Fn key is pressed instead. The system will
not permit the alarm and warning levels to have the same value; it will also not permit
the alarm level to be higher than the warning level.
• SYSTEM This item, when displayed, can be selected by pressing the ENTER key. If
selected, five sub-items will be displayed: “MONITOR Tcell,” “SHOW FAULTS LOG,”
HA0156P01 Rev. D 16

“CLEAR FAULTS LOG,” “RUN DIAGNOSTICS” and “SHOW PROGRAM ID.” Pressing
the ENTER key when a sub-item appears selects that sub-item.
Selecting the sub-item MONITOR Tcell permits a real time readout of the temperature of the
gas sensor cell. Press the Fn key to terminate.
The GGA is a self-supervised system and can identify and trap detected faults in its opera-
tion. Whenever a fault is detected the TROUBLE LED is illuminated, the TROUBLE RELAY
is de-energized, and a description of the fault is logged (stored and latched). Faults can be
displayed by pressing the ENTER key when the sub-item SHOW FAULTS LOG is displayed.
Fault conditions that can be detected include errors in the system’s 8- and 12-bit analog-to-
digital converters, power supply voltages, supervisory loop errors and gas sensor cell block
temperature. Press the Fn key to terminate.
The faults log can be erased by pressing the ENTER key when the sub-item CLEAR
FAULTS LOG is displayed. If selected, the LCD will prompt CLEAR LOG? Press the ENTER
key to clear all logged faults. Once executed the display will indicate LOG CLEARED for
approximately two seconds and then go blank, leaving the system in the NORMAL mode.
Pressing the Fn key instead will blank the display and place the system in the NORMAL
mode without clearing the faults.
Pressing the ENTER key when the sub-item RUN DIAGNOSTICS is displayed permits a
readout of the GGA’s initial cell reference voltage, the output voltages of all power supplies,
tests the system’s Normal, Trouble, Alarm and Warning relays, and the Membrane Keypad
on the Display Panel. At any point press Fn to terminate testing. The test sequence is:
1. The LCD will display Vref=X.XXXVDC. This parameter is the voltage of the cell
reference thermistor and was stored at the time of the last calibration of the cell (whether
H2, CO2 or N2).
2. The LCD will display Vh2=X.XXXVDC. This parameter is the voltage of the hydrogen
calibration constant and was stored at the time of the last calibration of the cell.
3. The LCD will display Vco2=X.XXXVDC. This parameter is the voltage of the carbon
dioxide calibration constant and was stored at the time of the last calibration of the cell.
4. The LCD will display Vn2=X.XXXVDC. This parameter is the voltage of the nitrogen
calibration constant and was stored at the time of the last calibration of the cell.
5. The LCD will display Vadc> X.XXVDC. This parameter is the reference voltage of the 12
bit analog-to-digital converter and will range between 3.97 and 4.22 VDC.
6. The LCD will display +5V> X.XXVDC. This parameter is the output of the +5 volt digital
supply and will range between 4.50 and 5.50 VDC.
7. The LCD will display +12V> XX.XVDC. This parameter is the output of the +12 volt
digital supply and will range between 10.8 and 13.2 VDC.
8. The LCD will display +15V> XX.XVDC. This parameter is the output of the +15 volt
analog supply and will range between 13.5 and 16.5 VDC.
9. The LCD will display ”-15V> XX.XVDC. This parameter is the output of the -15 volt
analog supply and will range between -13.5 and -16.5 VDC.

Check and adjust DHCP analyzer and scavenging flow rates. See Flow Calibration. Check
hydrogen purity.
Weekly
1. Visually inspect the moisture indicators. A blue medium indicates dry hydrogen, while a
pink medium indicates excessive moisture in the hydrogen gas sample that may affect
the stability of the Generator Gas Analyzers. Replace or regenerate the Moisture
Indicator and replace the Gas Purifier if the medium is pink. Refer to Removal of
Moisture Indicators and Gas Purifiers.
2. Blow down purifiers by first removing cap at the base of the isolation valve and then
open the valve itself. It is advisable to have a container available to collect any fluid
contained within the purifier. CAUTION: THE PURIFIERS MAY CONTAIN HYDROGEN
GAS; USE PROPER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
3. Run Diagnostics.

Component Replacement Instructions
The hydrogen analyzer sensing units, input/output circuit board, processor circuit boards,
power supplies and intrinsically safe barriers are located inside the main junction box. To gain
access to the inside of the main junction box for service, remove the 32, 3/4-inch captive
bolts. Two guide studs assist with removal/replacement.
CAUTION! Do not scratch sealing surfaces on the main junction box. The main junc-
tion box lid weighs 50 lbs (22.7 kg). Take precautions during removal. Prior to open-
ing the main junction box, remove power from the HCP and ensure the system is free
of hydrogen.
4. Remove 4 screws used to secure processor and I/O boards (see Figure 2).
5. Remove the 12-pin cable connector from the sensor circuit board.
6. Remove inlet and outlet tubing connections from the analyzer with a 7/16-inch wrench.
4. To remove the upper processor board, disconnect the 40-pin ribbon cable and remove
the 4 nuts (11/32).

Removing the Input/Output (I/O) Circuit Board
1. Disconnect AC input power.
4. Remove the processor board. Disconnect the 60-pin ribbon cable and 4 nuts (11/32).
5. Remove the 8 slotted screws, which hold the board in place and spacers in place (4 on
top, 4 on bottom of board).
6. Remove all wiring connections to the terminal blocks on the Input/Output board.
9. The Input/Output board can now be removed. Install the new input/Output board in
reverse order.
1. Reach under the solenoid and remove the top cap by prying it off.
2. Push the solenoid valve body down and slide the nameplate/retainer off.
3. Open the closest (small, adjacent) junction box to the solenoid valve and locate the 3
solenoid valve wires.
5. Open isolation valves HV-2971, HV-2972, HV-2979, HV-2980, HV-2973, HV-2974, HV-
2981, HV-2982 and HV-2978.
3. Release pressure within purifier housing by opening drain at HV-2971A, HV-2972A or HV-
2973A, as appropriate.
8. Close drain.
9. Open isolation valves HV-2971, HV-2972, HV-2979, HV-2980, HV-2973, HV-2974, HV-
2981, HV-2982 and HV-2978.
