A421 Series Standard Electronic Temperature Controls Installation Instructions

3.

Position the control mounting slots over the screw 
heads, and then carefully tighten the mounting 
screws to secure the control to the surface.

4.

When mounting the control on an uneven surface, 
use shims to mount the control evenly on the 
surface.

Additional Guidelines for Mounting Type 4X/IP66 
Controls

The Type 4X models may be mounted to flat vertical 
surfaces using the four holes at the enclosure corners. 
Place the control against a flat wall surface in a suitable 
location, and mark the mounting screw hole locations 
on the mounting surface. Use appropriate screws and 
shims to mount the control evenly on the surface.

On Type 4X models, select the knockout to be 
removed. Place a screwdriver blade on the knockout 
near the edge. Apply a sharp blow to the screwdriver 
handle to loosen the knockout. Be careful not to 
damage the control’s interior components.

An additional low-voltage, two-wire cable is required to 
operate the A421 control’s temperature setback (BIN) 
function. On Type 4X/IP66 enclosures, you must install 
a suitable watertight fitting in an available knockout to 
pass the two-wire cable through the enclosure wall.

The control enclosure base on the Type 4X/IP66 
models can be easily rotated 180º relative to the 
control enclosure cover and LCD, allowing you to bring 
the electrical connection to either the top or bottom of 
the mounted control.  

Note:

Do not twist the wiring harness between the 

enclosure base and cover more than 180º.

WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.

Disconnect or isolate all power supplies 
before making electrical connections. 
More than one disconnection or isolation 
may be required to completely 
de-energize equipment. Contact with 
components carrying hazardous voltage 
can cause electric shock and may result 
in severe personal injury or death.

AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de 
décharge électrique.

Débrancher ou isoler toute alimentation 
avant de réaliser un raccordement 
électrique. Plusieurs isolations et 
débranchements sont peut-être 
nécessaires pour -couper entièrement 
l'alimentation de l'équipement. Tout 
contact avec des composants porteurs 
de tensions dangereuses risque 
d'entraîner une décharge électrique et de 
provoquer des blessures graves, voire 
mortelles.

IMPORTANT:

Use copper conductors only. Make 

all wiring in accordance with local, national, and 
regional regulations.

IMPORTANT:

Do not exceed the A421 control’s 

electrical ratings. Exceeding the electrical ratings 
can result in permanent damage to the control and 
void any warranty.

IMPORTANT:

Run all low-voltage wiring and 

cables separate from all high-voltage wiring. 
Shielded cable is strongly recommended for input 
(sensor) cables that are exposed to high 
electromagnetic or radio frequency noise.

IMPORTANT:

Electrostatic discharge can damage 

A421 controls. Use proper Electrostatic Discharge 
(ESD) precautions during installation and servicing 
to avoid damaging A421 controls.

IMPORTANT:

Do not connect supply power to the 

A421 controls before checking all wire connections. 
Short circuits or improperly connected wires can 
result in damage to the modules and void any 
warranty.
