1.2 Connect the epro system software to the hardwire epro MODEL MMS 6110 reduce
the setting near to zero. check for the high vibration
1.3 Ensure the STATUS of Turbine in SOE (Sequence of Events) and ALARM History.
Note down the FIRST OUT cause for TRIP.
1.4 Normalise the setting of vibration 127micron alarm and 250 micron danger.

EH oil pressure low Shut OFF:

2.1 Start the EH Oil Pump and check for the normal pressure (14MPa).
2.2 Close the Inlet isolating valve for two oil pressure switches & open the Drain valve
.Observe the Changeover of the switch contacts (NO contact to NC contact).
2.3 Ensure the STATUS of Turbine trip in SOE (Sequence of Events) and ALARM
History. Note down the FIRST OUT cause for TRIP.
2.4 Normalize the isolation and close the drain of switches
