change in the opposite direction than expected. For example, while moving the calibration adjuster to increase span, the output
pressure may decrease. This should be disregarded since even though the output pressure decreases, the span is increasing.
Proper controller response depends on nozzle-to-flapper alignment.
When performing span adjustments, carefully loosen both calibration adjuster screws while holding the calibration adjuster in
place. Then move the calibration adjuster slightly in the required direction by hand or using a screwdriver. Verify proper
nozzle-to-flapper alignment and hold the calibration adjuster in place while tightening both adjustment screws.
11. If the output pressure is not between 0.6 and 0.7 bar (8 and 10 psig), adjust the controller span by loosening the
12. Repeat steps 6 through 11 until no further adjustment is necessary.
13. For C1P and C1B controllers with anti-reset windup, remove the two machine screws, anti-reset windup cover, and
14. Proceed to the Startup procedures for proportional-plus-reset controllers.

For direct-acting controllers:
6. Apply an input pressure equal to the sensing element lower range value.
7. Rotate the pressure setting knob to the minimum value.
8. Adjust the nozzle (key 54) until the controller output pressure is between 0.6 and 0.7 bar (8 and 10 psig).
9. Apply an input pressure equal to the sensing element upper range value.
10. Rotate the pressure setting knob to the maximum value.
Note
When performing the span adjustment in step 11, do not watch the output gauge while changing the calibration adjuster. The
change in output is not a good indication of the change in span. While moving the calibration adjuster, the output pressure may
