When the air supply system returns to its normal daytime
pressure, the DAY/AUTO lever is spring returned to the
AUTO position and the Thermostat returns to normal
operation. The occupant can also return the system to
normal operation by manually switching the DAY/AUTO lever
to AUTO.

In the preceding situation, the P/E switch contacts are
closed. This is because the secondary BLP is under 15 psi
(103 kPa); the DAY/AUTO lever is held in the DAY position
by pressure on Logic Module C; and the Thermostat uses its
daytime bimetal because the airflow through Logic Module
D is closed off.

TP972A AND TP9620A HIGH-CAPACITY,
HEATING/COOLING THERMOSTAT

General

The TP972A and TP9620A (Fig. 16) are high-capacity, two-
pipe, proportioning pneumatic Thermostats with two bimetal
sensing elements.
