SDI Operations & Maintenance Manual – 54264 

4-23 

EXAMPLE: 

If the venturi is on at 4.5 PSIG and the mixed gas pressure setpoint should 
be 5 PSIG, then the Mixed Gas Pressure Control Switch needs to be 
adjusted.  To increase the pressure setpoint, turn the screw clockwise (in).  
Continue adjusting as needed until the venturi turns on when the mixed gas 
pressure is at 5 PSIG.  The Mixed Gas Pressure Control Switch has a fixed 
deadband differential of approximately 0.5 PSIG.  After the adjustments are 
made, check the heating value of the LP gas-air mixture and adjust if 
necessary. 

HIGH MIXED GAS PRESSURE SAFETY SWITCH 

The High Mixed Gas Pressure Safety Switch shuts down the mixer if there is a 
Mixed Gas Pressure Control Switch failure.  The High Mixed Gas Pressure 
Switch is a mechanical switch located in the control box.  The High Mixed Gas 
Pressure Switch is wired normally closed and will open when High Mixed Gas 
pressure setpoint is exceeded. 

Adjusting High Mixed Gas Pressure setpoint (

Refer to data sheet for setpoint

). 

Control box must be open to adjust. 

1.  To set, turn the adjusting wheel to the approximate setting shown on the 

indicator scale on the switch.  Indicator on the front of the switch is only a 
guide; the pressure should be adjusted using a calibrated pressure gauge.  
Turning the wheel counterclockwise decreases the pressure setting and 
turning it clockwise increases the setting.  The High Mixed Gas Pressure 
Switch is set 3 PSI above the mixed gas operating pressure. 

EXAMPLE:

  8 PSIG Mixed Gas Pr 3 PSI = 11 PSIG High Mixed Gas 

Pressure Setpoint. 

LOW VAPOR PRESSURE SWITCH 

The mixer requires a minimum vapor pressure for the proper operation of the 
venturi.  The Low Vapor Pressure Switch is wired normally open and is set to 
close when there is adequate vapor pressure to operate the venturi.  The vapor 
pressure will close the Low Vapor Pressure Switch and activate the Mixed Gas 
Pressure Control Switch.  The Mixed Gas Pressure Control Switch will cycle the 
venturi based on load.  If vapor pressure decreases below the Low Vapor 
Pressure Switch setpoint, the mixer will stop mixing and will remain in standby 
until vapor pressure increases.  The Mixed Gas Pressure Control Switch and 
venturi solenoid valve are disabled until there is adequate vapor pressure to 
operate the venturi. 

Adjusting Low Vapor Pressure Switch Setpoint: 

1.  Put the system on a load so that the single venturi is cycling on/off.  Slowly 

throttle the LPG vapor outlet valve on the vaporizer outlet.  This reduces the 
LPG vapor pressure being sent to the mixer.  Observe the LPG vapor 
pressure gauge and note the pressure at which the venturi stops mixing, the 
observed pressure is the Low Vapor Pressure Switch setpoint.  

Compare 

this value with the Data Sheet

2.  Repeat the throttling procedures to adjust the Low Vapor Pressure Switch 

(

Refer to Data Sheet for setpoint

) adjust by turning the adjusting wheel 

until the Low Vapor Pressure Switch setpoint matches the value given on the

 

Data Sheet
