Setting the Low-Pressure Control

Step 1. Set HIGH EVENT by adjusting range screw.All-Range Controls:

•Turn screw clockwise to raise high event.Micro-Set Controls: •Turn screw clockwise to lower CUT IN setpoint.

Step 2. Adjust the differential screw.All-Range Controls: •turning the differential screw changes theLOW EVENT

•Turn screw clockwise to raise low eventMicro-Set Controls: •Turning the differential screw changes the differential setting.•Turn screw clockwise to increase differential
