Description of Driving Event:

Prior to running a test in a facility using liquid oxygen, a check was made on the sequence timer which controls the valving of the system. When the console selector switch was set at "CHECK" and the check started, the liquid oxygen fire valve opened and spilled liquid oxygen. Pressure in the supply tank is required during standby to keep air and water vapor out of the system.
