Calibrating a pneumatic thermostat

Pneumatic thermostat

Tools needed: thermometer, Allen wrench tool, and needle pressure 
gauge
Use the Allen wrench tool to remove the cover. Turn clockwise to  turn the screw into the  base allowing the cover to slip over the head of the screw.
Adjust the temperature so that the edge of the black dial is lined up with the measured temperature. This one is set  just below 76 degrees.
Push pressure gauge into the hole as shown. Insert Allen tool into adjustment screw. Adjust until the gauge reads 9 psi. Be careful, adjust slowly, it is also sensitive to the heat from your hand.

You can also adjust the temperature reading on the front display, so that it will better reflect                                                   the actual temperature of the room.

  1. Good article, very clearly described with the pictures. When I buy my pneumatic controls they usually come calibrated so I will give this a shot
