CALIBRATION CHECK

RP908A

Change the setpoint  of the Controller to the existing

sensor temperature if the two do not already match. The
branchline pressure should be at its calibration pressure
of 8 + 1 psi (55   7 kPa) unless otherwise noted on job

drawings. If recalibration is necessary, see CALIBRA-
TION,

RP908B

Determine the existing calibration temperature from

the reset schedule on the job drawings. Draw a straight
line on graph as shown in Figure 4. Measure the tempera-
ture at the Port 2 sensor.  Find corresponding Port 1 sen-
sor temperature (Fig. 5). Measure temperature at Port 1
sensor location. This temperature must agree within two

CHANGE FROM DIRECT TO REVERSE

ACTING

The change from direct to reverse acting is made by

following the three steps listed in Figure 6.

ADJUSTMENTS

PROPORTIONAL BAND

If the original setting shown on the job drawings must

be changed:

1. Loosen the Proportional Band Adjustment Knob

(Fig. 7) and slide the Proportional Band Indicator

to the desired setting.
NOTE: When a proportional band of more than

I5 percent is used, fasten the Bias Spring

to the Lever Assembly (Fig. 6). This spring
is left unconnected if proportional band is

15 percent or less.

2. The Controller must be recalib
