Overview
The Johnson Controls A19ABC-97C is a heavy-duty electromechanical utility thermostat designed for reliable temperature control across a broad range of commercial and industrial HVAC and refrigeration applications. It features a liquid-filled remote sensing bulb and capillary that provide fast response times to temperature changes. Housed in a compact NEMA 1 enclosure, this single-stage controller operates without requiring external power and switches line voltages directly.
Features
- Heavy-duty electromechanical switching action with a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) configuration to support both heating and cooling control.
- Liquid expansion sensing element with a copper remote bulb provides fast and highly accurate control response.
- Adjustable differential allows for precise fine-tuning of the temperature control band to suit specific system needs.
- Front-located temperature setpoint dial features a convertible design that can be field-adjusted via a knob or screwdriver slot.
- Constant differential maintained throughout the entire operating range, unaffected by cross-ambient temperature conditions.
