Johnson Controls A99BB-600C PTC Temperature Sensor (-40 to 212°F, 19½ ft PVC Cable)
Overview
The A99BB-600C is part of Johnson Controls’ A99B series of PTC silicon temperature sensors. It features a stainless steel probe, a long 19½ foot (≈ 6 m) PVC-insulated cable, and is designed to measure temperatures from -40°F to 212°F (-40°C to 100°C). It is suited for use in HVAC, refrigeration, defrost sensors, and other Johnson Controls / PENN systems requiring reliable temperature feedback.

Applications
-
Temperature sensing for refrigeration systems, defrost control, and HVAC control loops.
-
Suitable for walk-in cooler/freezer rooms, condenser fan cycling, space/ambient or return air temperature.
-
Compatible with Johnson Controls / PENN control modules that require A99B sensors.
Installation & Best Practices
-
Mount sensor probe where it is exposed to representative air or fluid, avoid extremes or localized hot spots.
-
Ensure the cable routing avoids sharp bends, abrasion, or exposure to chemicals that degrade PVC.
-
Use proper connectors and wiring practices; longer cable runs may add resistance, but reference specs for accuracy.
-
Inspect for corrosion on probe; clean periodically if buildup affects readings.
