Mount the KPU pressure control on a bracket  

or on a completely flat surface.  

Mounting to an uneven surface might cause 

improper control operation.

For bracket mounting use only the 10-32x3/16 

screws provided with the control. If other screws 

are used function of the pressure control might be 

disturbed (they may not protrude into the control 

more than 

1

/

8

 in.).

Use only the mounting holes provided;  

no other holes are to be added to the control

IMPORTANT:

Pressure pulsations in the refrigeration system 

reduce life time of the bellows and might 

disturb switch function. Pressure pulsations 

should always be effectively damped e.g. 

by connection the pressure controls to the 

refrigeration system through a capillary tube.

1.

 Ensure self-draining of the capillary tube  

to minimize clogging.

2.

 Coil excess capillary tube into smooth, circular coils 

(approximately 3 in. diameter). The coiled tube should  

be securely fastened in order to prevent possible  

damage due to vibration.

3.

 Leave a little slack in the capillary tube as it helps  

to damp mechanical vibrations.

4.

 Avoid sharp bends as well as re-bending of the capillary 

tube on the same point as it weakens the material, 

increasing the risk of crack.

5.

 Never allow for contact between the capillary tube  

and sharp or abrasive objects as during vibrations  

the tube could be damaged due to friction.

6.

 Purge the piping before connecting pressure controls.

7.

 Always use two wrenches 

tightening the flare nut on  

the pressure control.  

One wrench should support  

the connector while  

the second wrench  

is used to tighten the nut.

8.

 Do not over tighten flare nuts as it may damage the 

threadscausing leaks.

9. 

Protect the capillary tube from damage  

caused by vibrations from compressor:

– when the control unit is mounted directly on the 

compressor, the capillary must be secured to the 

compressor so that everything vibrates as a whole.

– when the control is mounted remote from the 

compressor, make the pressure connections away  

from the compressor.

– when the control is mounted remote from the 

compressor and the pressure connections have to be 

on the compressor, then damping coils must be used 

between the compressor and the pressure control.

NOTE: 

After installing the pressure control, evacuate  

the plant in accordance with applicable EPA  

and other regulations, to remove air, moisture,  

and other contaminants.

Recommendations for capillary tube and flare connections:

Wiring

CAUTION:

Disconnect power supply before wiring connections 

are made or service to avoid possible electrical shock 

or damage to equipment. Do never touch live parts  

with your fingers or with any tool.

NOTE:

All wiring should conform to the National Electrical 

Code and local regulations. Use copper wire only.  

Use terminal screws furnished in the contact block.  

Do not exceed tightening torque 20 lb. in (2.3 Nm).  

Do not exceed electrical ratings for the control.

Electrical ratings according to UL regulations
