In general, both one- and two-pipe
thermostats have a gain of 2.5 psi per
degree Fahrenheit, unless special
thermostats are used that provide a
different gain. The major difference
between them is that a one-pipe
thermostat is considered a lowcapacity thermostat and a two-pipe
thermostat is considered a highcapacity thermostat.
When selecting between one-pipe and
two-pipe thermostats consider the
following:
Use one-pipe thermostat when:
tubing runs are less than 50 feet from
thermostat to controller.
a single thermostat will control no
more than three controllers.
slower response is desired from the
thermostat.
Use two-pipe thermostat when:
tubing runs exceed 50 feet from
thermostat to controller.
a single thermostat will control four or
more controllers.
high capacity air is required due to
restrictions in the air line.
Thermostat Piping
The two-pipe thermostat (Figure 1)
includes a restrictor (internally). Attach
supply air line and output pressure
(branch) line to the thermostat.
The one-pipe thermostat (Figure 2)
requires an external restrictor tee.
Connect main air supply to restricted
leg of restrictor tee. Connect branch line
from restrictor tee to the thermostat.
Pneumatic thermostats modulate
output air pressure in response to room
air temperature. Pneumatic thermostats fall into two categories: directacting or reverse-acting. This section
describes how thermostat output
pressure responds to changes in room
temperature.
Figure 3 graphically illustrates the
relationship between room
temperature and output pressure of a
direct-acting thermostat. The graph in
Figure 3 shows that as the room
temperature increases, so does the
output pressure of the thermostat.
Figure 3–Direct-Acting
Thermostat Response
Output Pressure
Figure 4 illustrates the pressure/
temperature characteristics for a
reverse-acting thermostat. As room
temperature increases, the thermostat
output pressure decreases.

A thermostat in proper working order
will be able to output a pressure

Reversing Relay
Installation and Operation
The reversing relay is a proportional,
non-bleeding device for use in pneumatic control systems where a proportional signal from a controlling device
must be reversed (see Figure 5). The
most common use of the reversing
relay is to change the action of a
pneumatic thermostat.
Figure 5 –Pneumatic Reversing Relay
Trane Part No. RLY-755
The reversing relay requires three
piping connections: main/supply air,
input signal air, and output branch air
(see Figure 6). The branch line pressure
decreases in direct proportion to an
increase in the input signal pressure
and vice-versa. The input signal is also
amplified, thereby minimizing any
pneumatic line transmission lag
(see Figure 7).
Input pressure to the relay and output
pressure to the PR should always add
up to a constant, which is usually set
between 16 and 25 psi. For example,
with a constant of 18, six-pound input
signal will result in a 12 pound branch
signal. A bias adjustment screw is
provided to retard or advance the out
signal.

Calibration
By using the “bias” adjustment on the
relay, the factory-set 8.0–9.0 “crossover” can be changed. To recalibrate,
the relay should be connected as
illustrated in Figure 8.
Pressure
Regulator
M
If the new desired “cross-over”
pressure is 11.0 psi, this must be applied
to port #3 by adjusting the pressure
regulator. The “bias” adjustment is then
turned until 11.0 psi is obtained on the
output gage. Turning the “bias” adjustment “CW” increases the out put;
“CCW” decreases it.
This 11.0 psi “cross-over” would yield

Use the following procedure to set-up the PVR:
1. Select damper action (NO or NC). Loosen damper selection switch screw and align to either the NO or NC pointer with damper
pointer and tighten screw.
2. Now determine the type of thermostat that will be used. If a direct-acting thermostat is used, the reset start pressure is ty pically
8 psi. If a reverse-acting thermostat is used, the reset start pressure is typically 3 psi (see Figure 11).
3. With an accurate gage (0-10 psi) connected to port “G”, regulate the thermostat pressure to port “T” to desired start point pressure.
4. Adjust reset start to indicate 0 psi on port “G” and continuing adjusting to indicate a pressure slightly higher than 0 psi, (i.e., 0.1 psi).

Adjusting the Reset Span (3011)
The reset span is factory-set at 5 psi. This is the thermostat pressure difference from which the PVR delivers flow from minimum
to maximum setpoints. This range is not normally changed unless a special control scheme is used where control operation
must be changed.
To field adjust a different reset span, follow these steps:
1. Connect an accurate gage to port “G”.
2. Apply 20 psi to port “T”.
3. Adjust reset span to indicate the desired span on port “G” (see Figure 12).

Use the following procedure to set-up
the PVR:
1. Select damper action (NO or NC).
Loosen damper selection switch
screw and align to either the NO or
NC pointer with damper pointer and
tighten screw.
2. Now determine the type of thermostat
that will be used. If a direct-acting
thermostat is used, the reset start
pressure is typically 8 psi. If a reverseacting thermostat is used, the reset
start pressure is typically 3 psi.
3. With an accurate gage (0–30 psi)
connected to port “G”, regulate the
thermostat pressure to port “T” to
10.5 psi.
4. Adjust reset start to indicate 2.5 psi on
port “G”
Adjusting the Reset Span (3501)
The reset span is factory-set at 5 psi.
This is the thermostat pressure difference from which the PVR delivers
flow from minimum to maximum
setpoints. This range is not normally
changed unless a special control
scheme is used where control
operation must be changed.
To field adjust a different reset span,
follow these steps:
1. Connect an accurate gage to port “G”.
2. Apply 20 psi to port “T”.
3. Adjust reset span to indicate the
desired span on port “G”.
4. LO-stat and HI-stat delta P must now

This calibration procedure is used when
a constant volume of air must be
maintained through a unit. On a dualduct unit, a constant-volume discharge
sensor is used to measure the air
leaving the unit. The PVR controlling to a
constant-volume of air leaving the unit
uses the discharge sensor to maintain
the specified cfm.
This PVR does not require a thermostat
connected to the PVR.
The following procedure must be used
when calibrating a constant-volume
dual-duct unit. See Figure 15 for a
typical piping diagram.
1. Set t-stat to full heat.
2. Set LO thermostat (maximum) to the
desired maximum flow on the

Calibration (3011)
Var iable-Air-Volume DualDuct Calibration (3011)
Figure 16 is a typical piping diagram of
a VAV dual-duct unit. The unit has a
thermostat piped to both pneumatic
volume regulators (PVR) which will
operate the heating deck from a
thermostat signal of 3–8 psi. The cooling
deck will operate from a thermostat
signal of 8–13 psi. With normal
calibration of the PVR, the unit will have
both the heating and cooling deck at
minimum with a thermostat signal of
8 psi.
In order to have a unit minimum cfm
and still have 0 cfm minimums on both
the heating and cooling deck, special
calibration is required. The PVR has a
“reset start” adjustment knob, which
allows the unit to be calibrated to a
minimum cfm. This is achieved by
crossing over the thermostat ranges.
Figure 17 illustrates this concept.
Cooling Valve = 5 psi range
Approximately 1000 cfm divided by 5 psi =
200 cfm/1b*
N.O. Cooling Valve
Min 0 cfm
Max 1000 cfm
*Due to the relationship between velocity
pressure and cfm; for both the cooling and
heating PVR, a linear relationship between
cfm and psi does not exist.
To obtain a unit minimum cfm of 400 cfm, the
heating deck volume regulator must have its
thermostat range changed from 3–8 psi to
4–9 psi. This is adjusted by changing the “reset
start” point from 3 psi to approximately 4 psi.
The cooling deck volume regulator must have its
8
thermostat range changed from 8–13 psi to
7–12 psi. This is adjusted by changing the “reset
start” point from 8 psi to approximately 7 psi.
By overlapping the thermostat spring ranges, we
were able to have 0 cfm minimum settings on
both the heat and cool deck and still maintain the
required unit minimum cfm of 400 cfm.
The calibration of the PVR is the same as the
normal calibration procedures previously
described in this manual.
