3.7) SETTING THE PRESSURE CONTROLS (Continued)
5. At this point the contactor(s) should be clicked off and you should be able to click them on
and then off again by pressing the SAFETY RESET. This is a way to test if the "SAFETY"
is still controlling the pressure, and not the "CONTROL". While setting the "SAFETY" and
the contactor(s) are off, if the SAFETY RESET does not cause the contactor(s) to click on
and off again, INCREASE the setting on the "CONTROL"
WARNING – DO NOT allow the pressure to exceed 100 PSI. If contactor(s) do not turn off
before 95 PSI, manually shut off
generator, open the Steam Out (#16), and
DECREASE the pressure setting on the
"SAFETY" pressure control. If you
cannot get the "SAFETY" to control the
pressure, it may need to be replaced.
6. Open the Steam Out (#16) to exhaust some pressure. Continue pressing the SAFETY
RESET until the contactor(s) click on and remain on. The pressure should eventually begin
to rise. If it doesn't, throttle the Steam Out (#16) somewhere between closed and open until it
does.
7. Pay attention to what the pressure reads when the contactor(s) click off. If the pressure
stopped BELOW 90 PSI, then INCREASE the pressure setting on the "SAFETY". If the
pressure stopped ABOVE 90 PSI, then DECREASE the pressure setting.
8. Continue to watch the pressure go up and down, while adjusting the "SAFETY" and
pressing the SAFETY RESET, until the pressure stops at 90 PSI.
9. At this point the "SAFETY" should be set at 90 PSI, and the "CONTROL" should be set
somewhere above 90 PSI.
10. Let the pressure drop below 85 PSI and then press the SAFETY RESET, so that the
contactor(s) click on. DECREASE the pressure setting on the "CONTROL" until the
contactor(s) click off.
11. Repeat Step 10 until you no longer need to press the SAFETY RESET for the contactor(s)
to click on.
12. Continue to watch the pressure go up and down, while adjusting the "CONTROL", until the
pressure stops at 85 PSI.
13. The Pressure Controls are now set.
NOTE: If at anytime the SAFETY RESET needs to be pressed after the pressure controls are
set, either one of the controls are bad, the "SAFETY" is set too low, or the "CONTROL" is
set too high.
