8. Set the controller near the desired control point.
When it reaches that point, begin to narrow the
proportional band until a cycling condition exists.
Broaden the band slightly until a stable condition
is reached. There is no need to reset the zero in
controllers that have reset.

10. Test the bandwidth and the reset rate by
changing the pressure setting adjustment for a
moment. If this causes cycling, then broaden the
proportional band and test again. This
procedure is to be repeated until stability is
reached.
