General Instructions
Installation
Caution:
1. Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician.
2. Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent
electrical shock.
3. Make all connections in accordance with the wiring
diagram, and in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. Use copper conductors only.
4. Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive
fumes or vibrations are pre
intended for indoor use primarily to provide a degree of
protection against contact with the enclosed equipment.
5. For use with air or non-combustible gases only.

6. Make all connections in accordance with job wiring
diagrams and in compliance with national and local
codes. On an increase of air pressure to above setpoint,
common contact of switch is made to normally open
contact. On a decrease of air pressure to below setpoint,
common contact of switch is made to normally closed
contact.

Note: Units are shipped at minimum setpoint.
If readjustment to minimum setpoint is required, proceed as
follows without any air pressure applied to diaphragm.
1. Turn adjustment screw full CCW.
