HPP-SB Positioner Adjustment If there is no gauge response, the deadband For Standard (Non-split range) Systems: must be decreased by turning the adjustment 1. To increase the bias setting, increase ten- drum slightly (increasing numbers). Re-check sion on the range spring. This is accom- the deadband.
