A421 Series Standard Electronic Temperature Controls Installation Instructions

Replacing an A419 Control with an A421 Control: 
Terminal Locations and Labels

The A421 Series Electronic Temperature Controls are 
the next generation of the A419 Series Electronic 
Temperature Controls. 

If you need to replace an A419 control with an A421 
control, be sure to note that wiring terminals on the TB1 
and TB2 terminal blocks on A421 controls are in 
different positions and have different terminal labels 
from the wiring terminals on the A419 controls. Table 3 
provides a cross-reference for matching the terminal 
labels on A419 controls to the terminal labels on A421 
controls.

Note:

The low-voltage signal terminals on the TB3 

terminal block are labeled the same on both A419 
controls and A421 controls. 

See Figure 4 for terminal block and terminal positions 
on the A421 control.

TB2

LC

Line-Voltage SPDT Relay Common Contact:

 Connect power supply to 

power the controlled load. 
Connect 24 VAC (hot) for 24 VAC applications.
Connect 120 VAC (hot) for 120 VAC applications.
Connect L2 for 208/240 VAC applications.

LNO

Line-Voltage SPDT Relay Normally Open Contact:

 Connects controlled 

equipment to the Line-Voltage Normally Open (LNO) contact on the SPDT 
relay. When LC is closed to LNO, the relay is energized and the green LED 
is on. The LNO terminal typically provides power to the controlled 
equipment in both cooling and heating applications.

LNC

Line-Voltage SPDT Relay Normally Closed Contact: 

Connects 

controlled equipment to the Line-Voltage Normally Closed (LNC) contact 
on the SPDT relay. When LC is closed to LNC, the relay is de-energized 
and the green LED is off. The LNC terminal is not typically wired to the 
controlled equipment.

TB3

BIN

Detects a switch closure between the BIN and COM terminals and enables 
the selected temperature setback (tSb) value.

22 AWG (0.34 mm

stranded, shielded 
cable recommended

COM

Connects low-voltage common from the sensor and binary input. 

SEN

Connects low-voltage input signal wire from control sensors.
