R-317-1 Johnson Controls Air FLOW Controller

Overview

The Johnson Controls P70NA-1C is a dual-pressure electromechanical control designed primarily for commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications. It provides combined high- and low-pressure monitoring in a single device to directly regulate compressor operations. By responding to real-time system pressure changes on both the high and low sides, it ensures optimal equipment protection and system integrity.

Features

• All-Steel Construction: Equipped with a durable all-steel case and cover that offers rugged, long-lasting protection for internal electrical and mechanical components.
• Dual Manual Reset Lockout: Provides a trip-free manual reset lockout mechanism for both high-pressure and low-pressure sides, preventing unmonitored equipment from automatically restarting until conditions return to safe operational levels.
• Sight-Set Calibration: Features a visible, calibrated pressure scale on the NEMA 1 enclosure, enabling straightforward adjustments across the range without removing the cover.
• Dual Copper Capillaries: Includes two 36-inch copper capillary tubes equipped with 1/4-inch flare nuts for secure connection to system lines.
• Premium Sensing Technology: Utilizes reliable bellows sensing elements engineered for long-term operational stability.

Specifications
