Model LC10 Operation Cont.

Sensitivity & Span

The span of the Level Controller is the distance that the level changes 
between when the Pilot opens and closes. To adjust the span loosen 
the  Thumb  Screw  located  on  the  Fulcrum.  Then  slide  the  Fulcrum 
along the Flapper Bar.   Moving the Fulcrum toward the center of the 
Case  increases  the  sensitivity  of  the  Displacer  to  changes  in  liquid 
level thereby decreasing the span.  Moving the Fulcrum away from the 
center of the Case decreases the sensitivity and increases the span.

Increasing the span  means that a  dump valve actuated by the LC10 
will stay open longer draining more of the liquid in the vessel before it 
closes.  Decreasing  the  span  close  the  dump  valve  sooner  draining 
less fluid.
