1. Insert the blade of the tool or screwdriver between the
switchover plunger and the switchover lever shown in
Figure-8. The top (18) bimetal should be approximately
1/32-inch off the lever and the bottom (19) bimetal should
be in contact with the lever.
2. With a .048-inch six spline wrench, turn the calibration
screw clockwise if the controlled pressure is above
8 psig and counterclockwise if the controlled pressure is
below 8 psig. Adjust the screw until the pressure is ± 1
psi.
3. Manually switch the thermostat several times by
removing and reinserting the AL-80 or screwdriver and
observing the branch line pressure. If it varies beyond the
limits, repeat the calibration.
4. Remove the test gauge.
5. Turn the test point screw clockwise to tighten.
6. Replace cover.
MAINTENANCE
The pneumatic thermostat requires no routine
maintenance.
REPAIR
Field repair of pneumatic thermostats is not
recommended. However, if the thermostat output
pressure is 0 and it cannot be corrected by calibration,
the restriction should be checked. Hold the restriction
plate up to the light and check the .0075 hole. If the hole
is blocked, the restriction plate must be replaced. the
filter should be replaced at the same time. If the hole is
not blocked, then the thermostat should be replaced.
