7.  Take the following steps 

when mounting a control 
with a vapor-pressure 
sensing element.  (See    
Fig. 9.) 

a.  Mount the control with 

the power element 
down. 

b.  Mount the control and 

bulb at approximately 
the same level. 

c. 

Mount the bulb with the 
free (sealed) end lower 
than the capillary end.  

Note

:  On cross 

ambient models the 
side of the bulb marked 
“TOP” should always 
be up. 

!

  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 a bulb 
mounting clip is used to 
mount the bulb near the 
refrigerant tubing, be sure 
the sheet metal screw does 
not pierce the tubing. 

Wiring 

!

  CAUTION:  Disconnect the 

power supply before the 
wiring connections are 
made to avoid possible 
electrical shock or damage 
to the equipment.  On 
multiple circuit units, more 
than one circuit may have 
to be disconnected. 

 
Make all wiring connections 
using copper conductors only, 
and in accordance with the 
National Electrical Code and 
local regulations.  For maximum 
electrical rating of the control, 
see the electrical rating shown 
on the inside cover label of the 
control. 

The contacts on the single-pole 
A70 controls with main and 
auxiliary contacts are identified 
on the contact block.  The main 
contacts are LINE-M2 and the 
auxiliary contacts are LINE-M1.  
The action of the main contacts 
are shown on the cover label.  
Figure 6 shows a typical wiring 
hookup. 

 

Where it is desirable for the user to 
increase or decrease the DIFFERENTIAL 
ONLY, external adjusting knob is supplied 
on differential screw as shown in Fig. 4.  
Knob is provided with stops and factory 
assembled to permit change only within a 
specified range. 

 

 

 

External adjusting knob may be placed on range 
screw, as shown in Fig. 5, where it is necessary 
for the user to raise or lower both CUT-IN and 
CUT-OUT points (differential remains constant).  
Knob is provided with stops and factory 
assembled to permit adjustments within a 
specified range. 

NOTE:  Knob is usually factory assembled in 
either position as shown in Figs. 4 or 5 above, 
depending upon specifications of original buyer.  
However, knob may be  changed in the field 
from the differential to the range screw or vice 
versa by loosening set screw and removing 
knob and indicator plate and reversing their 
positions.  Assuming that knob is factory 
assembled on range screw (Fig. 5) and set to 
restrict adjustment to 10F

° 

(5.6C

°

), adjustment 

will be restricted to approximately 5F

°

 (2.8C

°

) if 

knob is placed on differential screw  
(Fig. 4). 

 

MANUAL RESET 

BUTTON

 

Manual button shown in 
Fig. 3, left, when 
supplied provides 
MANUAL START only.  
Button must be pushed 
and released to restart 
after lockout occurs.
