SECTION I - INSTALLATION
Install pilot controller vertically, in an accessible location.
Allow removal space for ease of maintenance.
Pilot controller may be located above or below line controlled.
IMPULSE LINE CONNECTION AND LENGTH
Connect impulse line from top of diaphragm cover to controlled pressure line. Make connection at least 3 feet from the
valve body opening or the end of any expander. Best results
are obtained when the impulse line does not exceed 30 fe
Av
oid connections near turbulent areas such as those created by orifices, elbows, sharp bends, or other flow direction
changing components.
PITCH OR SLOPE OF IMPULSE LINE
Steam and liquid impulse lines should slope toward the sensing head. This ensures that the lines stay full of liquid or
condensate. Pre-fill the sensing line before startup.
For noncondensing gases such as air, slope the lines away
from the pilot, so that any liquid contaminants drain back to
the pr
ocess. M
inimum slope is 1" per foot.
Accessary Equipment
Volume booster relays, positioners, reset relays, derivative
units, etc. may be used with Leslie adjustable proportional
band pilot controllers where system characteristics require
their use.

HYDROSTATIC HEAD PRESSURE
When the pilot controller is installed under the line controlled,

those necessary to obtain the controlled pressure desired and
the width of proportional band required by the system.
