1. To adjust trip torque, remove locking set screw. Use spanner wrench to adjust nut position.

Turn clockwise to increase torque or counterclockwise to decrease. See Chart 5 for torque

adjustment values.

2. Replace locking set screw after achieving required torque.

NOTE: 1) Total torque range in the different models is achieved by a combination of

different spring groups and applied pressure through the adjusting nut. Chart 5 below

show the different torque ranges available for each spring group. When re-ordering,

specify model # (e.g. RT3-6001, etc.) for your required spring range.

NOTE: 2) If a tamper proof setting is desired, apply a permanent adhesive, such as

Loctite® 680, to the set screw after achieving the required trip torque value.
