The Model 764T is a temperature controller with an integral, rigid insertion bulb used for sensing temperature, and
outputting a pneu mat ic signal proportional to the deviation from the setpoint.
This IOM-764T does not cover use of oxygen as the "instrument air" fl uid. Such an application is outside the scope
of this IOM.
With proper materials and pipe sizes, the 764T can be used to measure the tem per a ture of liquid, gaseous, or va por
service. The installation of the thermal bulb can be direct or in di rect using a thermal well. Refer to Technical Bulletin
764T-TB for de sign and selection rec om men da tions.

Location of the thermal bulb into the medium
being con trolled is crit i cal.
Always insert the maximum bulb length into
the medium.
Always locate the bulb at a point downstream
of a heat exchanger to assure a near-equal
dis tri bu tion of the tem per a ture across the containment cross-section.
Always locate the control valve doing the tem per a ture control no further than 6-10 feet (2-3
meters) away from the controller when the
control valve does not have a po si tion er.
Do not use a thermal well unless the Owner's
process conditions, safety considerations or
main te nance pro ce dures require such; a ther mal
well enters an extra time response delay (i.e.
reduction in sensitivity) to the closed loop.
If a thermal well is required,to maximize heat
transfer effi ciency, locate on the top of a pipe
(vertical or at a 45° angle), duct, or at a 45°

angle to a vertical wall or horizontal top, when
possible, to allow fi lling of "void space" in well
with a suitable liquid heat transfer medium.
(See Figure's 4 and 5).
If a thermal well must be installed in a hor i zon tal
ori en ta tion, attempt to "pack" the "void space"
with steel or SST wool at bulb in ser tion. Use of
the well packing will in crease thermal effi ciency
(re duce time con stants) above that of a "dead
air" space in the "void space"; i.e. dead air space
acts as an "in su la tor" to heat transfer.
g.
Indoors, controllers without a thermal well
may be oriented in any position.

Use suitable pipe thread sealant when in stall ing a
ther mal well or a 764T thermal bulb.

The name plate of a 764T only indicates the
rotation to change temperature setpoint. It is rec om mend ed that a thermometer be in stalled very
near the location of the 764T. If the 764T utilizes
a thermal well, then the ther mom e ter should also
use a thermal well. If the 764T does not use a
thermal well, then the ther mom e ter should not
use a thermal well.
Outdoors, controllers without a thermal well
should be mounted with the main longitudinal
axis horizontal or be low. Make sure that the
vent port (either A or B) will not take in rain wa ter; use an angle fi tting, if necessary.
Indoors, controllers with a thermal well should
be mounted as recommended in Article 1.e.
Outdoors, controllers with a thermal well
should be mount ed at a 45° angle to main
pipe or duct axis, when possible. Make sure
that the vent port (either A or B) will not take
in rainwater; use an angle fi tting if necessary.
The con trol ler can be installed at any angle
below 45° at reduced ther mal sensitivity.
CAUTION: When engaging the threaded bulb con nec tion into its coupling or thermal well, DO NO
GRASP THE PNEUMATIC HOUSING OR KNURLED
LOCK NUT AND MANUALLY RO TATE THE CON TROL LER; ONLY USE A WRENCH (1-3/8") AND
TIGHT EN AT THE HEX SUR FACE PRO VID ED!
! Failure to comply may cause the factory-set cali-
bration to be al tered, re quir ing shop re-calibration.
Ro tate the unit CW (viewed from housing end) to
engage threads.

Clean the pip ing and tub ing of all for eign ma te ri als
in clud ing chips, burrs, dirt, etc. prior to use. Use care
in ap ply ing thread seal ant or TFE tape to pre vent

3.
Recommended pipe tap size is 1/2" NPT for a
thermal bulb without a thermal well.
4.
Recommended pipe tap size is 3/4" NPT for a
thermal bulb with a thermal well.
5.
If the pipe tap size is greater than the size required
by either the thermal bulb or thermal well, a pipe
bushing fi tting is recommended rather than bell
reducers to bring the tap size to that required.

KEEP CANTILEVERED PIPE, AIRSET, OR OTH ER
AP PUR TE NANC ES TO A MIN I MUM. It is recommended that the airset supplying in stru ment air be
independently mount ed elsewhere and tubed to the
con trol ler. Failure to comply with this rec om men da tion
may result in the even tu al loosening of the housing
from the thermal bulb, causing the unit to go out of
calibration.
9.
Connect piping/tubing per Tables 1 and 2. Do not
plug or restrict the open (unused) port (A or B) vent
connection. Port "A", Port "B" and "OUT PUT" are
identifi ed on the housing cast ing.
10.
764T's can operate with a lubricated, non-dried air
supply; however, good practice and other system
components (airsets, po si tion ers, relays, etc.) re quire
the use of the highest quality air supply available; i.e.
non-lu bri cat ed compressed air source and desiccant
dried air.

11.
Instrument air exposed to outdoor freezing tem per a tures must be desiccant dried. Re frig er at ed

13.
If the air supply is at a remote location, and can
not be practically dried and bears oil (i.e. plant air),
co a lesc ing fi lters must be utilized to re move as

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
III.
SEC TION III
1.
2.
3.
The 764T controller employs laminar fl ow to
de vel op the 3-15 psig (nominal 0.2 - 1.0 Barg)
output sig nal. Lam i nar fl ow was chosen because
it eliminates the need for range springs, levers,
pivots and other parts that pro duce friction and
lost motion.
A bimetallic thermal bulb is used to measure
tem per a ture. It is immersed in the fl uid whose
tem per a ture is to be controlled. A temperature
variation changes the length of the outer tube
more than it changes the length of the Invar rod.
This difference produces a minut movement of
the end of the Invar rod that contacts the sensor
plate. The sensor plate, in turn, throttles the fl ow
of instrument air through the sensor to develop
the 3-15 psig (0.2 - 1.0 Barg) output signal.
On direct acting controllers, see Figure 7, the
supply enters PORT B. With an increase in the
4.
5.
6.
sensed tem per a ture the supply air fl owing through
the sensor orifi ce in creas es, which elevates the
output signal. The pro por tion al band restriction
regulators the fl ow of ex haust through PORT A.
On reverse acting controllers the supply enters
PORT A and passes through the proportional
band re stric tion. With an increase in the sensed
tem per a ture the fl ow through the sensor or i fi ce
is increased, which reduces the output signal.
PORT B is the exhaust port.
Closing the proportional band adjusting screw
reduces the proportional band. Opening the screw
increases the proportional band.
The setpoint adjustment moves the sensor closer
to, or further away from, the sensor plate to change
the controlled temperature. Rotate clockwise
to increase temperature set point and counterclockwise to decrease temperature set point.

SECTION IV
Prior to pressurizing thru the airset, disconnect the
IAS at the airset inlet, open the IAS block valve
and air-blow the supply piping/tubing to clear of
any debris, moisture, etc. Re-connect to the airset.
Disconnect IAS tubing at the 764T, open the IAS
block valve at the airset and air-blow. Repeat for
IAS to the positioner, if supplied.
Set airset to 18 psig (1.24 Barg) outlet pressure.
Blow down the airset dripwell.
Establish fl ow past the bulb, allowing the bulb to
"sense" the actual temperature.
It is recommended that the control valve that
receives the output SIG of the 764T be manually
isolated at "cold" start-up. To prevent initial tem per a ture overshoot/undershoot while the sys tem
reaches thermal stability, initiate fl ow in the control
valve loop by manually bypassing.
NOTE: The PB and setpoint adjustments are
"interacting", meaning that to change one will likely
cause the other to have to be changed. With each
of these ad just ments, the temperature indicated
on the thermometer and the amount of rotation of
the adjusting screw (2.3) may be growing apart,
although the actual set point may not be changing. [If this setpoint deviation is objectionable,
determine the de vi a tion after all the ad just ments
have been com plet ed on the 764T.
NOTE: The 764T is shipped with the proportional
band (PB) set at a minimum value of ap prox i mate ly
3%. Match marks are factory placed on the hous ing (1) and needle valve (3) head cor re spond ing
to the 3% PB value.
CAUTION
Do not rotate the needle valve (3) CW below the 3%
PB value, as the unit will be rendered inoperative.
6.
7.
8.
Observe actual temperature of the fl uid being
temperature controlled utilizing a separate ther mom e ter instrument. As the control tem per a ture
approaches the "setpoint" temperature, be gin to
manually close the control valve bypass. At tempt
to establish steady-state manual control. NOTE: It
may take a time frame of 15 minutes or greater to
establish any level of steady-state man u al con trol;
DO NOT MOVE TOO FAST!
Observe the action of the control valve in re sponse
to the action of the 764T temperature controller.
Confi rm that the proper combined "loop action" is
occurring. If not correct, review the required action
desired, and reverse action of either the control
valve or 764T. To reverse action of a 764T, the
IAS to the 764T must be removed from the "as
installed" 764T port, and re-connect in reverse; i.e.
if IAS was installed to Port "B", change to Port "A",
and vice versa. (See Tables 1 and 2).
NOTE: The 764T is factory calibrated to ap prox i mate ly mid-range; i.e. a 50-220°F (10-104°C) temperature range will have setpoint at ap prox i mate ly
135°F (57°C). It is recommended that the unit be
shop calibrated, if required. Field calibration is, in
most cases, not practical. See Section VI.
Adjust setpoint by rotating the adjusting screw
(2.3) until the desired temperature is indicated on
the thermoneter.

NOTE: The needle valve (3) may be adjusted
only 1-1/2 revolutions CCW from the initial 3%
PB min i mum value until the maximum 20% PB is
reached. Do not rotate needle valve (3) beyond
the 1-1/2" revolution limit.

By observing the output SIG of the 764T as indicated on instrument gage (11), and manually
varying control valve bypass fl ow upwards and
downwards, the setpoint can be confi rmed as ap-
proximately the point where output SIG pres sure
is at 9 psig (0.62 Barg).
11.
Increase or decrease 764T setpoint to drive the
control valve closed. Remember the ∆T change
adjusted.
12.
Open the block valves isolating the control valve.
13.
Begin to manually close the control valve bypass
valve while simultaneously changing the 764T
setpoint back towards the desired setpoint prior to
Article 11, this sec tion. Attempt to simultaneously
change the setpoint and further close the bypass
in pro por tion al increments; i.e. close the bypass
about 10% while changing the setpoint by about
10% of the ∆T change of Article 11.
NOTE: Many temperature control system loops
have sizeable time constants; i.e. fl ywheel effect.
Make ad just ments in small increments and wait
for the results to stabilize.
If the control valve and 764T becomes unstable,
14.
leave the setpoint adjustment as is and increase
PB adjustment by rotating needle valve (3) ap prox i mate ly 1/8 revolution CCW. Wait for results
to sta bi lize.
Continue Articles 13. and 14. slowly until the control
15.
valve bypass valve is fully closed, and the 764T
controller is regulating fl ow.
16.
It is recommended that an "upset" be imposed
onto the system, and observe the capability of the
controller to stabilize the upset. If instability re sults,
PB should be increased in 1/8 CCW rev o lu tions
until stability is within the 764T's capability.
