Operation
Pneumatic thermostats modulate output air pressure in response to room air temperature. Pneumatic thermo- stats fall into two categories: direct- acting or
Figure 3 graphically illustrates the relationship between room temperature and output pressure of a direct-acting thermostat.The graph in Figure 3 shows that as the room temperature increases, so does the output pressure of the thermostat.

Figure 4 illustrates the pressure/ temperature characteristics for a reverse-acting thermostat. As room temperature increases, the thermostat output pressure decreases.

A thermostat in proper working order will be able to output a pressure ranging from approximately .5 psi to supply air pressure depending on distance from indicated setpoint.
