NOTES:
-
Setting the pressure controls greatly relies on your ability to tell whether the contactor(s) are turning
the heaters on or off. You should be able to hear the contactor(s), located inside the Electrical Box
(#1), click on and off. Familiarize yourself with this sound.
-
The order in which the pressure controls must be set is the "Safety" and then the "Control".
-
In order to set the "Safety" you must keep the "Control" at a higher pressure setting than the Safety"
-
Once the "Safety" is set, then you can lower the
"Control" to its correct setting.
-
To INCREASE the pressure setting, when
looking down on pressure control, using your two
index fingers, turn the PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENT DIAL CLOCKWISE, causing
the BLACK INDICATOR LINE to move
DOWN the scale.
-
To DECREASE the pressure setting, turn the dial
COUNTER CLOCKWISE, causing the
indicator line to move UP the scale.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Open the pressure control covers, as shown on
previous page.
2. Adjust the PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT DIAL on the
"CONTROL" so that the BLACK INDICATOR LINE is
somewhere between ½ and ¾ of the way down from the top.
3. Adjust the PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT DIAL on the
"SAFETY" so that the BLACK INDICATOR LINE is
somewhere between ¼ and ½ of the way down from the top.
4. Close the Steam Out (#16) and turn on generator. When the
contactor(s) click on, the pressure will rise. If contactor(s) do not
click on right away, you may need to press SAFETY RESET.
Continue to watch the Pressure Gauge (#15) until you hear the
contactor(s) click off. This may take up to 20 minutes.
