Notes for troubleshooting:  

If the green LED does not light up, first ensure that the power button is depressed. If the button is depressed, 
try cycling power by pressing the power button (to turn the power off) and pressing the button again (turning the 
system back on). If the unit still does not show the green LED, please contact Qualitrol for help 

If the amber LED does not light up, wait 3 more min to ensure the system is fully booted and has had a chance 
to  communicate  with  the  cellular  tower.  If  the  LED  still  does  not  illuminate,  try  to  move  the  QGateway  to  a 
different  location  to  improve  cellular  strength  (review  cellular  tower  location(s)  identified  in  the  site  survey 
section).  

If a red LED illuminates, this could indicate low battery. Please allow the unit 4-6 hours in sunlight to charge to 
an operational level and check again. If the red LED remains illuminated, please contact Qualitrol for help. The 
unit can be slowly charged under incandescent light.   

 

Installing DGA-LT1 Monitor 

NOTE:

 If the desired valve is not 1

” NPT, then the appropriate hardware adapter must be installed. DGA LT1 

orders 

can be configured with a 2” x 1” reducer bushing as an optional accessory. See Figure 18. Note that 

the pipe sealant is not shown in Figure 18 and is required for sealing.  

 

Figure 18: Drain Valve showing 2" to 1" adapter 

The DGA-LT1 requires positive oil pressure at the drain valve for installation. To prevent atmospheric air from 
entering the transformer, the DGA-LT1 should not be installed under vacuum conditions.  

 

DGA-LT1 Installation check list 

1.  Ensure the transformer drain valve is closed. 

2.  Confirm headspace pressure gauge is zero or positive. 

3.  Position a container and an oil absorbent pad as needed under the valve to collect oil.
