Part II - Adjustments

Tools Needed

Screwdriver

5/8” Open End Wrench

5/64” Allen Wrench

AFTER COMPLETING ADJUSTMENTS ON TYPE H121 AND 

H122,  BE SURE TO RE-INSTALL ADJUSTMENT COVER. DO 

NOT OVER TIGHTEN COVER SCREWS. 

For set point adjustment and re-gapping (if necessary), connect 

device to a calibrated pressure source.

Types J120 (All) and J120K Models 455-559 (See Figure 4A)

Remove cover.  Loosen phillips screw adjustment lock. Adjust set point 

by turning 5/8” hex adjustment screw clockwise to increase setting, 

or counterclockwise to decrease setting.  Secure adjustment screw by 

tightening adjustment lock.

Type J120K Models 36-39,147-S157B, & 367 (See Figure 4B)

Remove front cover and gasket from sensor

 assembly located 

below enclosure by unscrewing 4 phillips screws.  Loosen phillips 

screw adjustment lock.  Adjust set point by turning 5/8” hex 

adjustment screw clockwise to increase setting or counterclockwise to 

decrease setting.  Secure adjustment screw by tightening adjustment 

lock.

Types H121, H121K

Adjust set point by turning external knob and pointer to desired 

setting on scale (see picture, page 1).

Types H122, H122K

Individual microswitches may be set together or separately by up to 

100% of range.  The front (Low) microswitch should never be set 

higher than the rear (High) microswitch.  Turning external knobs will 

increase or decrease each switch setting independently (see picture, 

page 1).

Device with Options

Types with Adjustable Deadband Switch (Select Models & Option 

1519)

Models 15622, 15834-15839, 15875 and types with option code 1519 

incorporate a snap switch with integral adjustment wheel (see figure 5).  

Turning this wheel increases or decreases the pressure rise setting.  The fall 

setting remains constant.  To use the adjustable deadband switch:

1.  Determine set point and deadband values.  For example, a rising set 

point of 20 psi with a deadband value of 6 psi.

2.  Set the falling set point at desired deadband value (determined by 

subtracting the deadband value from the desired set point) using the 

standard adjustment screw as outlined above.  Using the example from 

step 1, 20 - 6 = 14, so you would set the fall set point at 14 psi.  This is 

your constant.

3.  Set your deadband by turning the adjustment wheel clockwise to increase 

or counter clockwise to decrease the setting.  Using the example from 

step 1, turn the wheel clockwise or counter clockwise until 20 psi is 

achieved.  This is your set point.

Consult UE for additional information.

Type J120 and H121 with Option 1530, Manual Reset 

This microswitch, when actuated, remains actuated until the pres-

sure decreases and the reset button (located on the left side of the 
control) is manually depressed to reset the microswitch.
