L91A,B,D Proportioning
Pressuretrol® Controllers
FEATURES
• Models available for pressure systems up to 300 psi
(2068 kPa).
• May be used with steam, air, noncombustible gases, or
other fluids noncorrosive to brass or phos-bronze (300
psi model) bellows.
• When used with steam boilers, a steam trap (siphon
loop) is recommended.
• Wiper on controller potentiometer moves in response
to pressure changes.
• L91D has two potentiometers for unison control of two
motors.
• L91B,D models have adjustable proportioning
(throttling) range to allow selection of desired
pressure control range.
• Adjustments made with screws on case top.
• Large, easily-read scaleplates in both U.S. customary
(oz/sq. in., psi, or in. Hg) and metric (kPa, MPa, or mm
Hg) units.
• Steel case with clear plastic cover to observe pressure
settings and potentiometer action.
APPLICATION
L91 Proportioning Pressuretrol® Controllers are Series 90
Modulating Pressure Controllers that provide direct control of
modulating motors or valves used on automatic burners or
steam heating systems.
• Fitting with 1/4 -18 NPT threads allows rapid
installation.
• Surface mount with screws through knockout holes in
case back.

Models (Table 1):
L91A: Single potentiometer; nonadjustable proportioning
range.
Adjustment Means: Screws on controller case top; knurled
knob for main scale setting on 10 to 300 psi (0.07 to 2.07
MPa) models.
L91B: Single potentiometer; adjustable proportioning range.
L91D: Two potentiometers allow unison control of motors;
adjustable proportioning range.
Electrical Rating: 24 Vac.
Setpoint: At low pressure end of proportioning (throttling)
range.
Main Scaleplate: Marked in both U.S. customary (oz/sq. in,
psi, or in. Hg) and metric (kPa, MPa, or mm Hg) units.
Potentiometer Action: Wiper moves toward W on pressure
rise, toward B on pressure fall. Potentiometer is field
replaceable.
Proportioning Range Scaleplate (L91B,D only): Gradu-
ated from A to F with a MIN (minimum) value below A.
(See Table 2 for the value of each division.)
Potentiometer Resistance: 140 ohms (nominal) for L91A, B,
and D models.
Mounting Means: Fitting on bellows has 1/4 - 18 NPT
threads (external on 0 to 16 oz/sq. in., 0 to 4 psi, and 0 to
Pressure Sensing Element: Brass bellows, 10-300 psi
models phos-bronze bellows.
Minimum Ambient Temperature: 32° F (0° C)
Maximum Ambient Temperature: 150° F (66° C)
15 psi models; internal on all other models) for mounting on
a pipe or steam trap (siphon loop).
NOTE: Some models are available with 1/4 - 19 BSP-TR
internal threads; see Table 1.
Also can be surface mounted by screws through two knockout
holes in case back.
