Calibration
The small Allen hex screw in the middle of the slotted
plunger is for factory calibration. When required, the K
value can be shifted up to Ø 2 psi (Ø 14 kPa) with this
screw.

1. With zero pilot pressure and main line pressure
applied, branch line pressure should equal the K
value (in the above equation), or main line pres-
sure if it is lower than K.
2. Each psi (kPa) of pilot pressure increase should
result in a psi (kPa) of branch decrease.
signal occurs, recheck the setting of the slotted
plunger. It can be lodged between detentes.
Gently insert a screwdriver in the slot and twist it
back and forth. If the plunger is between set-
tings, it snaps into position. The plunger should
be flush with the top in position A and adjust
increasingly deeper in positions B and C.
