1.
Ensure that the low liquid temperature combined with the low ambient temperature does not lead to the freezing the liquid
inside the body (or bellows, where appropriate). Please observe the liquid freezing point.
2.
At higher temperatures, the maximum allowed liquid temperature becomes lower. The temperature inside of the electrical
switch should not exceed 158°F (70°C).
The performance specifications are nominal and conform to acceptable industry standards. For application at conditions beyond these
specifications, consult Johnson Controls/PENN Refrigeration Application Engineering at 1-800-275-5676. Johnson Controls shall not be liable
for damages resulting from misapplication or misuse of its products.
