A421 Series Standard Electronic Temperature Controls Installation Instructions

13

102 and 132 VAC for 120 VAC applications

177 and 264 VAC for 208/240 VAC 
applications

d.

If the voltage reading is not within the required 
range, check the power source and input 
power wires for problems.

2.

Check for proper sensor operation.

a.

Disconnect all power sources to control.

b.

Using an accurate thermometer, take a 
temperature reading at the sensor location.

c.

Disconnect the sensor from the control.

d.

Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance 
across the two sensor leads while the sensor is 
at the temperature taken in Step 2b.

e.

Consult Figure 12 to verify that the measured 
temperature and resistance conform to 
established temperature and resistance 
values.

f.

If the measured values conform to the values 
in Figure 12, proceed to Step 3.

g.

If the sensor’s measured resistance value is 
substantially different from the expected value 
for that temperature, check the sensor wiring. If 
sensor wiring is correct, replace the sensor.

3.

 Check the A421 for proper operation.

Note:

Perform Troubleshooting Steps 1 and 2 before 

performing this step.

a.

Disconnect the load from the output relay 
terminals.

b.

Ensure that the Parameter Adjustments jumper 
is installed, so that access to adjust 
parameters is unrestricted.

c.

Reconnect the sensor leads and supply power 
to the control.

d.

Replace the cover.

e.

Check the control settings for proper values.

f.

Press 

MENU

 until 

On

 appears. Press 

MENU

 

again to display the 

On

 value.

g.

Press 

 and 

 to change the 

On

 temperature 

above and below the sensor temperature until 
the relay energizes and de-energizes.

Note:

If the anti-short cycle delay is set to a value 

other than 0 minutes, when the control is powered On, 
the relay does not energize until the time delay has 
elapsed.

h.

If the output relay does not perform as 
expected, replace the A421 control.

i.

If proper operation of the A421 control is 
verified, reconnect the load and consult the 
equipment manufacturer’s instructions for 
troubleshooting the controlled equipment.

Repair Information

Do not attempt to repair or recalibrate the A421 
temperature control. In case of a defective or 
improperly functioning control, contact your nearest 
Authorized Johnson Controls/PENN Distributor or 
Sales Representative.

When contacting your Johnson Controls/PENN 
Distributor, have the model number of the control 
available. This number can be found on the label inside 
the cover of the control.
