IX. PRESSURE CALIBRATION AND
TESTING PROCEDURE FOR PILOT:
1. To determine set pressure, slowly increase
the pilot inlet pressure. Simulated actuator
pressure will rise with inlet. As set pressure
is approached, the actuator pressure will be-
gin to decrease. Continue to increase the
inlet pressure slowly until the actuator pres-
sure is 90% (+/- 10%) of the inlet pressure.
This is the set pressure.

3. To determine reseat pressure, slowly de-
crease the inlet pressure and the actuator
pressure will begin to increase. Reseat oc-
curs when the actuator pressure equal the
inlet pressure.
