Pressure Switch Check
To check pressure switch di󰀨erential, refer to FIGURE 17
and use the provided ttings and tubing to follow the steps
below.
1 - Remove thermostat demand and allow unit to cycle
o󰀨.
2 - Remove the tubing from the negative side (red
and black or red) and positive side (black) of the
pressure switch (leave both connected to cold end
header box).
3 - Take the 2” length square tubing and connect to the
positive (+) side of the pressure switch. Take the 10”
length square tubing and tee into the tubing from
the positive side of the cold end header box and
the other side of the 2” square tubing. Connect the
other end of the 10” square tubing the the positive
(+) side of the measuring device.
4 - Take a second piece the 2” length square tubing
and connect to the negative (-) side of the pressure
switch. Take a second piece of 10” length square
tubing and tee into the tubing from the negative (-)
side of the cold end header box and the other side
of the 2” square tubing. Connect the other end of
the 10” square tubing the the negative (-) side of the
measuring device.
5 - Operate unit and observe manometer reading.
Readings will change as heat exchanger warms.
a. Take one reading immediately after start-up.
b. Take a second reading after unit has reached steady
state (approximately 5 minutes). This will be the pres-
sure di󰀨erential.
The pressure di󰀨erential should be at least 0.15”
greater than those listed in the table 17. Readings in
table are the set points or “break points”.
6 - Remove thermostat demand and allow to cycle o󰀨.
7 - Replace original pressure switch tubing.
NOTE - Pressure dierential values (set point) in table are
the ”break”, or ”open” specications. ”Make”, or ”close”
pressure dierentials are 0.15” greater than the set points
listed in table.
