ADJUSTMENTS

Thermostats are shipped from the factory calibrated to provide an 8 psig control line pressure when the control point is equal to the setpoint.

To make all adjustments, remove the cover by first loosening the cover screws. Squeeze slightly on the top and bottom and pull forward and down, unhooking the top first.

Setpoint Dial

The thermostat has a total dial range of -20° to +240°F. One side of the dial is marked -20 to 120 and the other 100 to 240. If a setpoint higher than 120° is required, proceed as follows:

1. Rotate setpoint dial to 110°.

2. using a 3/16" open end wrench, hold hex shaft below setpoint dial.

3. Loosen screw that holds dial in place and remove.

4. Remove dial and turn over to the 100 to 240 side.

5. Start screw into dial post, before tightening line up dial at 110°, and tighten. Be sure to hold dial post with wrench when tightening screw tight.

6. Proceed with standard throttling range and calibration procedures.

Throttling Range

The throttling range should be set at the lowes t va lue which will allow the thermostat to control the system without cycling under normal load condi tions. The most

satisfactory setting will vary with he type of control system. The throttling range is changed by sliding the throttling range adjustment slider to its proper position. See Figure 9. Calibration of the thermostat should be checked after the throttling range has been changed. When making the throttling range adjustment, care should be taken to prevent excessive side forces on the feedback lever. In no case should the pivot point be raised when the adjustment is made.

Throttling Range Adjustment

If the throttling range of the thermostat as shipped is not satisfactory, proceed as follows:

1. Move slider to approximate position desired (see Figure 9).

2. With instrument measuring a stable temperature, rotate setpoint dial CCW to low end of scale, then CW to that temperature “setpoint”.

3. Adjust setpoint calibration screw until 3 psig (RA) or 13 psig (DA) is read on branch gauge.

4. Rotate setpoint dial CW toward upper end of scale until 13 psig (RA) or 3 psig (DA) is read on branch gauge.

5. Difference between setpoint dial readings in step 2 and 4 is the approximate mechanical throttling range of the thermostat. The thermal throttling range will be equal to or less than the mechanical throttling range.

6. If the throttling range in step 5 does not provide the control desired, move throttling range slider in appropriate direction and repeat steps 2 through 5 until desired control is obtained. If unable to obtain satisfactory control, check system for proper sizing of components being controlled and sensing element location.

Figure-9 Thermostat Adjustments.

CALIBRATION

After the installation has been completed, the thermostat should be checked for calibration. As a nominal calibration, the controlled branch pressure should be 8 psig when the setpoint is equal to the bulb temperature, indicated by a thermometer located near the bulb. In some applications, a value other than 8 psig will be required to get the desired control results. Change the 8 psig will be required to get the desired control results. Change the 8 psig designation as used in the calibration procedure, should this be the case.

1. Using the branch gauges, or a separate test gauge connected to the branch test port (see Note), rotate the dial [direct acting (DA) - lower , reverse acting (RA) - rai se] in the appropriate direction. The branch pressure should raise to be the same as the supply pressure ±1 psi.

Note: As shown in Figure 9, each thermostat is furnished with a branch test connection. If a test gauge is to be used at this connection, use a 5/64" Alle n w r en ch to un scre w (counterclockwise) the test point screw one full turn before attaching test gauge.

2. Measure the temperature at the bulb. This must be a stable temperature.

3. Rotate the dial to this temperature.

4. Turn the setpoint calibration screw (see Figure 9) until a branch pressure of 8 psig ±1 psi is read on the branch gauge.

1. Remove restriction cover plate, restriction and two gaskets (see Figure 9 for location).

2. Using the parts from the AT-539 place in order one gasket, restrictor plate, the other gasket and cover plate with the tubing attached on the restrictor mounting pad. Then install the two (2) screws.

3. Route 5/32" plastic tubing through hole in base and connect to constant 15 or 20 psig main.

Calibration When Used As Low Limit

1. Determine throttling range required. This normally is approximately 10°F.

2. Adjust branch pressure from first thermostat to maximum branch pressure.

3. Adjust throttling range as described in Throttling Range Adjustment on page 3.

4. After throttling range is adjusted, proceed with calibration of control point as described in Calibration.

FIELD SERVICE

Relay repair kit, pilot restrictor and thermal elements are available. See Maintenance Parts on page 1 for specific part numbers.

Note: The hex nut on the adjusting screw is used to provide tension only and should not be loosened when making adjustments.

5. Turn the dial to the desired setpoint.

6. If separate test gauge is used, remove gauge, tighten test point screw and replace cover.

7. Observe operation of system for satisfactory control. If necessary, recalibrate after system has come in control and stabilized.

USE AS A LOW LIMIT THERMOSTAT

These thermostats may be used as low limit thermostats. Normally in this application, they are used in series with the branch pressure of another proportional thermostat. When using two proportional thermostats in series, the second unit must have an external main air source for the pilot chamber of the thermostat. This is required to insure the operation of the second thermostat at low branch pressure from the first thermostat. An external pilot pressure kit is required for this. The part number of this kit is AT-539.

Attachment of AT-539

To attach the AT -539 external pilot pressure kit, u se the following procedure.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance of the total system is recommended to assure sustained optimum performance.
