A19 Series Temperature Controls -- Single-Pole,
Single-Throw and Single-Pole, Double-Throw
Models with NEMA 1 Enclosure
Application
These controls are designed to
cover a broad range of general
purpose operating temperature
control applications in the
refrigeration, air conditioning and
heating field with a minimum
number of models. Typical
applications are: frozen food cases,
display cases, beverage coolers,
milk coolers, etc. Various control
ranges are available.
Controls are supplied with an
adjustable range (except models
with factory sealed settings) and
adjustable or nonadjustable
differential.
All Series A19 temperature
controls are designed for use
only as operating controls.
Where an operating control
failure would result in personal
injury and/or loss of property, it
is the responsibility of the
installer to add devices (safety,
limit controls) or systems (alarm,
supervisory systems) that
protect against, or warn of,
control failure.
Installation
Follow equipment manufacturer’s
instructions if provided. If
instructions are not provided
proceed as follows:
Mounting
Controls are normally mounted to a
surface through holes in back of
case.
!
CAUTION: On rough
mounting surfaces use the
top two mounting holes
only. When these controls
are mounted on an uneven
surface using screws in all
four holes, the case can be
twisted enough to affect
the control’s calibration and
operation.
For closed tank applications without
well assembly Part No. FTG13A-
600R packing nut assembly may be
supplied. See Fig. 2 for sequence
of installation. Put parts over
support tube section of element,
placing bulb into tank. Tighten
1/2 in. NPT adapter. Screw packing
nut into adapter with the retaining
washers and packing in place as
shown.
To install models supplied with bulb
well, first install bulb well into tank.
Remove bushing from bulb well and
slide bushing over capillary.
Replace bushing into bulb well.
Push bulb into position in bottom of
well. Tighten set screw in end of
adapter to hold bulb in position.
See Fig. 3 for bulb well illustration.
!
CAUTION: Do not dent or
deform the sensitive bulb of
this control. A dent or
deformation will change the
calibration and cause the
control to cycle at a
temperature lower than the
dial setting. When the bulb
mounting clip is used to
mount the bulb near the
refrigerant tubing, be sure
the sheet metal screw does
not pierce the tubing.

adjustment and screwdriver slot.
Adjustments
The A19 temperature controls may
be supplied with an external range
adjustment and screwdriver slot as
shown in Fig. 1, range adjustment
knob or solid cover. Solid cover
models with calibrated dial are
adjusted by removing the cover and
moving dial so the desired setting is
in line with the dial pointer on the
stop bracket. (See Fig. 5.)
Convertible adjustment models can
be field converted from concealed
screwdriver slot adjustment to knob
adjustment or external screwdriver
slot adjustment. They are supplied
with a snap-in plug in the cover to
provide concealed screwdriver slot
adjustment. For knob adjustment
remove the snap-in plug and press
the knob onto the slotted shaft. For
external screwdriver slot adjustment
remove the snap-in plug. The
convertible adjustment models with
remote bulb include a bulb
mounting clip.

direct immersion application.)

immersion applications where a

Dial settings normally indicate the
cutout setting unless otherwise
specified by the equipment
manufacturer. Models with SPDT
contacts are normally set so the red
(common) to yellow contacts open
at the dial setting.
Models with adjustable differential
and ranges of 20/80°F (-5/28°C),
-30/50°F (-35/10°C) and -30/100°F
(-35/40°C) have a differential scale
plate showing increments of
differential. Other ranges have a
scale plate with a multiplier. For
example when “MIN” differential is
5F°(2.8C°) then x2 is 10F°(5.6C°),
x3 is 15F°(8.3C°), etc. The
controls are supplied with adjusting
lever at minimum differential
stamped on the control. To adjust
move the lever to the differential
required.
Low cutout or high cutout stop
supplied on certain models
(specified by the equipment
manufacturer).
Fig. 4 -- Terminal arrangement of
SPDT models.
If high or low cutout stop adjustment
is required proceed as follows:
1. Set dial to temperature at
which stop is desired.
2. Remove cover of the control.
3. Loosen the cutout stop screw,
slide the screw to the front of
the temperature control against
the plastic step behind the dial
and tighten the screw. (See
Fig. 5.) Sometimes an exact
stop setting is not possible and
stop must be set to the closest
stop corresponding to dial
setting required.
4. Replace cover.
Wiring
!
CAUTION: Disconnect
power supply before
wiring connections are
made to avoid possible
electrical shock or
damage to equipment.
All wiring should conform to the
National Electrical Code and local
codes. Single-pole, double-throw
models should be wired as shown
in Fig. 4. Use copper conductor
only.
!
CAUTION: Use terminal
screws furnished
(8-32 ×1/4 in. binder
head). Substitution of
other screws may cause
problems in making proper
connections.
Checkout Procedure
Before applying power, make sure
installation and wiring connections
are according to job specifications.
After the necessary mechanical
adjustment and electrical
connections have been made, an
operational checkout is
recommended.
Adjust the control setpoint to put the
system in operation and observe at
least three complete operating
cycles to be sure that all
components are functioning
correctly.
If the system fails to operate,
recheck the wiring and components.
Repairs and Replacement
Field repairs must not be made.
For a replacement control contact
the nearest Johnson Controls
representative.
Fig. 5 -- All models have a screw
type cutout stop. The stop screw
must be loosened and moved to
the stop setting desired. Tighten
screw after setting is made.
