4.

Disconnect power to the control and reposition the 
jumper to one pin (Figure 10). Reconnect power.

Control adjustment is now restricted to changing only 
the 

OFF

 value, which shifts the On/OFF control band 

within the restricted adjustment range defined by HtS 
and LtS (Figure 9)

Note:

To completely restrict (and lockout) all user 

adjustment on the control, set HtS = On or OFF and 
LtS = OFF or On. Then the (On to OFF) control band is 
equal to the restricted adjustment range (LtS to HtS) 
and the OFF value cannot be adjusted in the restricted 
mode.

Adjusting the Control In Restricted Mode

To adjust the 

OFF

 value (and shift the On/OFF control 

band) within the restricted adjustment range, when the 
control is in the restricted adjustment mode:

1.

In the Main Screen, press 

MENU

 to go to the 

restricted adjustment mode menu and display the 

OFF

 parameter code screen (Figure 11).

2.

Press 

MENU

 again to go to the 

OFF

 value screen.

3.

In the 

OFF 

value screen, press  

 or 

 to change 

the 

OFF

 value (only within the restricted 

adjustment range). 

4.

Press 

MENU

 to save the selected 

OFF

 value and 

return to the 

OFF

 code screen.

5.

Press 

 and 

 simultaneously to return to the 

Main screen. 

Troubleshooting

Fault Codes

A421 Series controls display fault codes on the LCD as 
described in Table 5. 

Troubleshooting Procedure

1.

Check for proper voltage to the A421 control.

a.

Remove the cover by loosening the two 
captive cover screws.

b.

Use an AC voltmeter to check the voltage 
between the COM and 120V or 240V terminals 
on line-voltage models and the two 24V 
terminals on low-voltage models. See Figure 4.

c.

The voltage must be between:

20 and 30 VAC for 24 VAC applications
