Do not rotate the needle valve (3) CW be yond this 
location as the unit will be ren dered in op er a tive. 
Rotate needle valve (3) CCW approximately 1/8 of 
a rev o lu tion in cre ments at each adjustment. 1-1/2 
rev o lu tions are the max i mum ro ta tion avail able 
from the 3 per cent min i mum PB position to the 
20% max i mum PB position.
SECTION IV
IV. STARTUP
1. Prior to pressurizing through the airset, dis con nect
the instrument air supply (IAS) at the airset inlet, 
open the IAS block valve and blow the piping clear 
of any debris. Reconnect the piping and open 
the isolation valve. Set the airset to 18 psig (1.2 
Barg).
2. The unit is shipped with the proportional band
(PB) set at a minimum value of approximately 3 
percent. Matchmarks are factory placed on the 
housing (1) and the PB needle valve (3) head 
approximately perpendicular to the screw driv er 
slot of the needle valve (3) head.
4. Start the process, observing the output gauge of
the controller and the process pressure gauge. 
(For 764PD's, always pressure the HIGH pres sure 
before the LOW pressure.) As sure that the out put 
is chang ing (de creas ing from 18 psig (1.2 Barg) 
if reverse acting, or in creas ing from 0 psig (0.0 
Barg) is direct acting) as the controller ap proach es 
setpoint. Con fi rm prop er action of con trol valve. 
Vary the process fl ow and observe the reaction 
of the controller to the dis tur banc es.
5. If the controller seems to be “hunting” with over-
 shoot and undershoot of setpoint, ad di tion al PB 
should be add ed. Rotate the nee dle valve (3) CCW 
in increments of 1/8 rev o lu tion. NOTE: When PB 
is adjusted, setpoint will nor mal ly re quire slight 
resetting; rotate the adjusting screw (2.3) as re-
 quired. Repeat until best stability is ob tained, or 
up to the maximum of 1-1/2 rev o lu tions.
3. Units are factory calibrated to ap prox i mate ly mid-
range; i.e. 50-150 psig (3.4-10.3 Barg) range will 
have setpoint at approximately 100 psig (6.9 Barg). 
It is rec om mend ed that the unit be fi eld calibrated 
following in stal la tion and prior to startup. (See 
Sec tion VI. CAL I BRA TION for de tailed pro ce dure.) 
Adjust setpoint by rotating ad just ing screw (2.3); 
turn CCW to de crease setpoint, or turn CW to 
increase setpoint.
Always make ad just ments in small in cre ments and 
wait un til reactions can be ob served be fore making 
fur ther ad just ments.
6. If “hunting” persists after com ple tion of Step 5, the
controller can be slowed down by reducing airset 
supply pres sure down to 16 psig (1.1 Barg) in 1 psi 
(0.07 Bar) increments. If this procedure is used, 
repeat Step 5.
7. If “hunting” persists after completion of Step 6, ro-
tate the needle valve on the sensing line “to wards 
closed” to provide “snub bing” action. DO NOT 
FULLY CLOSE SENSING NEEDLE VALVE!
SECTION V
V. MAINTENANCE
A. General:
1. Refer to Figure 12 for basic pressure con trol-
 ler. Refer to Figure 13 for differential pressure 
controller.
2. Maintenance pro
ce dures hereinafter are
based on removal from the process piping 
system where in stalled. When removing the 
tubing, put a tag on the tubing which port, “A” 
or “B”, was utilized.
3. If complete overhaul is undertaken, it is rec om-
 mend ed that the pneumatic circuit over haul be 
completed prior to diaphragm re place ment.
4. Lightly grease all sensor sub-assembly (2)
O-rings (5) (6) upon re place ment with lith i um 
grease; cloth wipe all excess grease.
B. Diaphragm Replacement:
1. If diaphragm (12) has cracked and leaked,
com plete unit must be overhauled including 
the pneumatic circuit portion.
