Description

The A419 series controls are single-stage, electronic temperature controls with a Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT) output relay. They feature a lockable front-panel touchpad for setup and adjustment, and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for viewing the temperature and status of other functions. A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicates the control output relay On/Off status. The A419 controls are available in 24 VAC or 120/240 VAC powered models. The A419 controls have heating and cooling modes, adjustable setpoint and differential, an adjustable anti-short cycle delay, and a temperature offset function. The setpoint range is -30 to 212°F (-34 to 100°C). The controls feature remote sensing capability and interchangeable sensors. The A419 controls are available in either NEMA 1, high-impact plastic enclosure suitable for surface or DIN rail mounting or NEMA 4X watertight, corrosion-resistant surface-mount enclosures.

Features
  • Easy to Read Front Panel LCD:Displays the sensed temperature and control function status clearly, custom icons on the display indicate the control and system status at a glance
  • Wide Temperature Differential Adjustment Range (1 to 30F or C): allows the user to set a precise (1F or 1C) Temp differential from 1 to 30 (F or C) providing a much tighter differential than electromechanical controls
  • Adjustable anti-short cycle delay (0 to 12 minutes in 1 minute increments): Ensures that the output relay remains off for a user set time delay, which helps avoid hard starts, nuisance overload outages, and unnecessary equipment wear
  • Switch Activated Temperature Offset Function: Allows the user to shift the cut in and cutout setpoints by and adjustable offset based on the status of a user installed, external switch, such as a time clock.
  • High impact, Thermoplastic NEMA 1 or NEMA 4X Watertight, Corrosion-resistant enclosures: Increase application options, allowing surface and snap fit DIN rail mount, or Watertight surface mount
  • Lockable Front Panel Touchpad: Allows easy set up and adjustment of the A419 control setpoint, differential, and other functions, a concealed jumper locks the touchpad, and deters unauthorized adjustment of the control settings
  • Low and Line Voltage Models: Provide options for most refrigeration and HVAC control voltage applications

Solid Product, Great Value

This is the best and simplest temperature controller to use with refrigerators and freezers, just plug and play to obtain any temperature needed. I use these controllers extensively for home-brewing beer, and achieve very accurate fermentation temperatures. It will turn any freezer into a refrigerator, which is very handy around the holidays. These will also control space heaters. You have to provide your own electrical cord, or just splice into the existing appliance cord, and the wiring schematic is easy to follow.

Manufacture testing need upgrading

I had purchased the A419, and it worked as it should. Then I bought another A419 and the sensor circuit was not working. The replacement did not work either as the output circuit did not work. What can I say. One worked, two other did not.

Excellent product

As an HVAC professional I have used nearly 100 of this family of controls and have experienced only 2 failures in over 10 years of using these controls. Just be aware that the low voltage version of this control (gbh suffix) has a limited amperage rating on the contacts.. These were the 2 failures I had.....

Q: what is the measured height and width of the temperature control enclosure? I want to mount it on a True display case refrigerator and would like to know beforehand if it will fit into the in-set where the current electromechanical thermostat is after I remove it.

Page 2 of the user guide shows the height and width of the control enclosure. It is 2-3/8" wide by 5" in height.

Yes it will work with 220VAC. BTW, you have made a GREAT choice in Temp Controllers!

There is not enough information provided to be able to confirm what product would work, as we would need to know the voltages and the control sequence of the system in order to assist further.

There is no temperature override on the A419. You will just have to alter the setpoint. It's pretty easy to do.

I believe you can only use 1 sensor however there is an input that you can connect to introduce a programmable offset in temperature. The controller has a programmable "set point" temp, Differential temp range setting, and a heat/cool mode

No you can't hook up two probes. And if you want to switch from a heating cycle to a cooling cycle i believe you need to move some jumpers on the circuit board.

Q: Was hoping to learn if the remote sensor is water compatible and up to what temperature can it handle? The application I'm looking to use it for is to control a hot water bath that I'd like to maintain at 40C or 104F. Can the sensor go directly into the water at this temperature? Thanks

Asked by Matt 12 years ago

I don't believe it can be directly immersed. The sensor is a stainless steel probe approximately 2" (50mm) long that is crimped onto the carrier cable leaving some gaps that would allow liquid to enter. There may be other sensors in the Johnson Controls A99 ( www.johnsoncontrols.com<http://www.johnsoncontrols.com> )line that are directly waterproof, or there is an option for an immersed well for mounting the sensor in liquid applications (P/N WEL11A-601C). Ken

the probe itself can work up to 212 F and is ~2" long before attachment to the cable. it appears sealed by crimp and possibly silicone? i have briefly submerged the cable in water but not sure about doing this long term. if 2" is too short you can attach another style A99 sensor based on this quote in the manual: "Each A419 control includes a Johnson Controls/PENN A99 temperature sensor. The sensor may be removed and replaced with any compatible Johnson ControlsR A99 temperature sensor, or the wire leads on the sensor may be extended." these sensors are listed in this document: http://www.johnsoncontrols.com/content/dam/WWW/jci/be/eu_library/catalogues/ netherlands/Opnemers.pdf

I used it to keep a chemical bath at 165F, so 104F water will be fine.

Was this review helpful to you?

The A419 is rated for up to 212 deg F but the probe is not designed for direct liquid contact. You would need to use a thermowell of some sort that would work for your application.

A liquid application will require a dry well. I use mine in glycol solution freezer. Made a dry well with a piece of copper pipe. Works great. I'm sure the temp stats are in the item descrip.

Q: Will this unit control a 5500W water heating element

Asked by dan 12 years ago

I am going to say “YES”....as the controller is supposed to function with 120v or 240v units. I would question Johnson Controls if you have any particular reservations. Hope that helps! 5500w should make for a pretty quick HLT. Cheers!

I don't think so. I don't have the specifications handy so... I switched my small solar pumps on and off with these units but even then used a relay rated for them to do it. Buy a relay big enough to handle the high load and I would say yes.

Was this review helpful to you?
-

I don't believe it is intended for that type of load. Mine actuates relay that handles the direct load (5hp freezer compressor). A similar scheme should work for you. Jimi Agee

you will need an additional contactor that will handle the amp load that is controlled by the temp controller

Q: The sensor will need to measure the temp of water in a PVC pipe, outside dia. 2". The sensor wells shown seem to be too long. How do I mount the sensor?

Asked by Jack 13 years ago

Simply cut a tee into the pipe and add a nipple long enough to house the probe.  The turbulence around the probe will provide an accurate temperature indication.

I don't have the exact measurement handy, but he sensor on the Johnson controller is only about 1-1.25" long. In my case, I have it in a much smaller pipe (1/2" NPT Stainless). What I did is found a thermowell that was 1.5" deep and had 1/2" NPT threads. I insatlled a tee in the line I wanted to monitor and screwed the themowell into the tee perpendicular to the flow of the liquid. Hope this helps.

Don't know if the helps, but the senro that came with my controller is only about 2 inches long. I have well that would surely fit into 2" PVC. Would you be able to place a tee and cap in the PVC and place the tempurature probe in the cap?? That's what I see as an option. Hope it helps.

Q: Does Johnson make this exact box that comes with two boxes into one? Meaning all the same specs as the A419 but two of them side to side or top to bottom all in one housing? Also with two seperate thermo sensors independently.
