Option M210 Indicator for Differential Pressure Controls,

Span Adjustment

(See Figure 6). To adjust indication for maximum accuracy at any 

desired set point, follow steps 1 thru 3 listed  below:

1.  Remove front window and gasket (four screws) to gain access    

to span adjustment.

2.  Connect device to calibrated gauge and set required differential 

pressure. 

3.  Using a screwdriver, slowly turn the span adjustment to obtain 

required indication.  Remount the front gasket and window. 

NOTE:

 Spanning adjustment will not affect the mid-range indication. 

The adjustment is factory calibrated and sealed to indicate tampering.  

DO NOT FORCE SPAN ADJUSTMENT, SINCE PERMANENT 

DEFORMATION OF THE LINKAGE MECHANISM MAY RESULT.

RE-GAPPING PROCEDURE

 

Tools Needed

5/8” Open End Wrench

3/16” Open End Wrench (2)

GAPPING IS FACTORY-SET AND CRITICAL TO THE FUNCTION 

OF  THE  SWITCH.  THIS  PROCEDURE  SHOULD  ONLY BE 

PERFORMED  IF  THE  PLUNGER HAS  ACCIDENTALLY BEEN 

ADJUSTED.

1.  Loosen adjustment lock.

2.  Turn 5/8” hex adjustment screw clockwise to approximately 

midrange. This puts a load on the sensor and exposes the 

plunger flats.  (See Figure 7).

3.  Using a 3/16” wrench on the plunger flats and a 3/16” wrench on 

the plunger hex screw, turn hex counter-clockwise from plunger 

until micro-switch actuates.  If microswitch has already actuated, 

turn plunger hex screw clockwise until microswitch deactuates.

4.  Continue per following instructions, depending on model. 

Models 171-174, 521-525, 531-535, and 540-548

Turn hex clockwise an additional 1-1/2 flats from this point. This will 

provide a 5-9 mil gap.

Models 680, 701-705, 356-376, 612, 616, 270, 274

Turn hex clockwise 3 flats from this point (approximately 1/2 turn).  

This will provide a 14-16 mil gap.

Re-Gapping Procedure for J120/J120K

Figure 7

Models 183-189, 190-194, 483-489, 490-494,565-567

Turn hex clockwise 1 flat from this point.  This will provide a 4-7 mil 

gap.
