Follow these steps to adjust fuel pressure:
Isolate the TEG from the station battery, load, and other voltage sources by opening
the circuit breaker or fuse connecting the customer load to the TEG.
Check that the jumper clip on terminal block TB-1 is in the SETUP position (between
terminals 2 and 3). Move the jumper clip if necessary.
Measure the voltage across terminals 2 (+) and 4 (-) with a multimeter. This voltage
is V . If V

present ambient temperature, the TEG is over-fired and requires less fuel.
Remove the cover on the regulator and loosen the lock nut.
Turn the adjusting screw to increase (clockwise) or decrease (counter-clockwise) fuel
pressure.
Wait 20-30 minutes for the TEG to stabilize, then check V

attained.
Tighten the lock nut (1/2" Hex) and replace the cover on the fuel regulator.
Consult the Data Plate Label (located on the inside of the cabinet door) for
NOTE:
Reference Factory Fuel Pressure. See Figure 23 for Data Plate location.
The thermopile in a TEG is very sensitive to temperature. There is a very serious risk of
permanent damage to the power unit and a drastic reduction in the TEG's longevity if normal
fuel pressures are exceeded. When setting up a TEG, take extreme care not to turn the
fuel pressure up too high. If you are unsure of the fuel pressure you should be
using, contact GPT for assistance.
It is also important to note that if your gas composition is different from the fuel specification
at the beginning of this manual, fuel pressure must be adjusted accordingly.
The TEG will require some time to stabilize after either air or fuel adjustments
