7. Separate Reference Volume 2 from Reference Volume 1.

Turn the Permeability Input, Transducer Pressure Balance, and
Permeability Fluid Input 2 valves to the Close position.

The 286.31's pressure differential transducer will be damaged if the
difference in pressure between Reference Volumes 1 and 2 exceeds the
transducer's operating limit.
