Scientific principals are same, however
refrigeration systems are:
Operation Time 24 / 7
Defrost Cycles
Load Changes
Energy Conservation Important on A/C
Systems
However, more critical on Commercial
Refrigeration Applications
Defrost Control
Pressure Control
Temperature Control
Differentials
Narrow Differential (10F or less)
When a narrow differential is desired
Closely maintain within 5 to 6F
Typically used for air sensing applications
Wide Differential (10F or more)
Required due to swing in evaporator temperatures
between compressor ON and OFF
Household refrigerators and room air conditioners
Typically used to sense evaporator coil temperature
Cut-out mode: Differential is above set point
Output relay energizes when temperature rises to set point plus the
differential value
When temperature drops to set point, the relay de-energizes
Cut-in mode: Differential is below set point
The output relay energizes when the temperature rises to set point
When the temperature drops to setpoint minus the differential value, the
relay de-energizes
Constant cut-in controls (A30 series)
Designed for frost free refrigerators
Used in coolers and display cases
Differential cut-in controls (A12 series)
This type of control offers an adjustable differential
Rotating the dial indicator to the colder position changes the
cut-out temperature only and widens the differential
Capillary tube
The gas within the capillary tube reacts to temperature changes
Actuates the power element diaphragm to trip the toggle
mechanism
Desired Temp
(Cut-Out Mode)
Desired Temp
(Cut-In Mode)
Two Types of Cold Controls:
Constant Differential
Constant Cut-in
Applications
Water coolers
Beverage dispensers
Display cases
Constant Differential also called straight range controls
Designed for household refrigerators and freezers
Capillary-only bellows sense from the coldest exposure point
Capillary with bulb senses from the bulb only
The bulb portion of the A22 & A30 capillaries must be
mounted with tip end pointing upward within 65 of vertical
Sensing elements of A22 & A30 contain saturated vapor liquid
refrigerant and are sensitive to barometric pressure changes
Sensing elements C12 & C17 contain liquid filled bulbs for
accurate temperature control
C12 & C17 bulbs may be oriented in any position
Limited vapor-fill sensing element
Sense directly by the capillary
May be used where the desired sensing is at the coldest point
along the capillary (including the control body itself)
Entire control located where it will sense fixture temperature

Mount unit to wall or flat surface
Review typical line voltage wiring diagram
Determine location of sensor
Program 4 simple steps
Instructions for wiring:
Open case by removing four screws
Connect black wire to COM
Connect white wire to 120 or 240
Attach common wire
Connect voltage to NO or NC switch
Close case and screws closed

Set, DIF1 (differential) 5
Set, C1 (cooling) or H1 (heating)
Done!
E1 appears when up or down keys are pressed
If E1 appears when no keys are being pressed, replace the control
E2 appears if control settings are not properly stored in memory
Check all settings and correct if necessary
EP appears when the probe is open, shorted or sensing a
temperature that is out of range
Check if the sensed temp is out of range.
If not, check for probe damage by comparing it to a known ambient
temp between -30 F and 220 F. Replace the probe if necessary.
EE appears if the EEPROM data has been corrupted
This condition cannot be field repaired. Replace control
CL appears if calibration mode has been entered.
Remove power to the control for at least five seconds. Reapply power.
If CL message still appears, replace control
