A421 Series Electronic Temperature Controls

with Cycle Timer Installation Guide

Applications

Important: 

Use this A421 Series Electronic

Temperature Control only as an operating control.

Where failure or malfunction of the A421 Control

could lead to personal injury or property damage

to the controlled equipment or other property,

additional precautions must be designed into the

control system. Incorporate and maintain other

devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems or

safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or

protect against failure or malfunction of the A421

Control.

Important: 

Utiliser ce A421 Series Electronic

Temperature Control uniquement en tant que

dispositif de régulation. Lorsqu'une défaillance

ou un dysfonctionnement du A421 Control risque

de provoquer des blessures ou d'endommager

l'équipement contrôlé ou un autre équipement, la

conception du système de contrôle doit intégrer des

dispositifs de protection supplémentaires. Veiller

dans ce cas à intégrer de façon permanente d'autres

dispositifs, tels que des systèmes de supervision

ou d'alarme, ou des dispositifs de sécurité ou de

limitation, ayant une fonction d'avertissement

ou de protection en cas de défaillance ou de

dysfonctionnement du A421 Control.

The A421 Series Electronic Temperature Controls are

single-stage, electronic temperature controls with a single-

pole, double-throw (SPDT) output relay.
A421 Controls feature a backlit LCD with adjustable

brightness and three-button touchpad interface that can

be set up to restrict user adjustments. An LED indicates

the output relay's on and off status.
A421 Control with Cycle Timer also provides sensor

offset capability and restricted user adjustment. The

temperature control range is -40°F to 212°F or -40°C to

100°C.
The A421 Controls are available either in Type 1 (NEMA),

IP20 (CE), high-impact plastic enclosures suitable for

surface or DIN rail mounting (Figure 1) or in Type 4X

(NEMA), IP66 (CE) watertight, corrosion resistant surface

mount enclosures (Figure 2).
The control housing base on the Type 4X/IP66 models can

be easily rotated 180º relative to the control housing cover

and LCD, allowing you to bring the electrical connection to

either the top or bottom of the mounted control. Do not

twist the wiring harness between the housing base and

cover more than 180º.
