The A419 control functions 
Set point (SP)

 establishes the temperature value at which the equipment is switched on or off, 

depending on the user selected mode of operation. Set point range is -30 to 212˚F or -34 to 100˚C 
(in 1-degree increments). 

 
If Set point mode is set to cut-in, set point is the temperature value at which the control closes the 
Normally Open (N.O.) contacts. If Set point mode is set to cutout, set point is the temperature at which 

the N.O. contacts open. 
 

Differential (DIF

) established the difference in temperature between the cut-in value and cutout 

value. The differential is set relative to Set point and may be set from 1 to 30 F˚ or -17 to -1 C˚ (in 1 –
degree increments). 
 

Anti-Short Cycle Delay (ASD)

 established the minimum time that the outplay relay remains de-

energized before the next on-cycle. The 

ASD

 does not allow the output relay to re-energize until the 

programmed time delay has elapsed. The delay is activated when the control is first turned on and 
every time an on-cycle ends. When the delay is activated, the LCD alternately flashed the senor 

temperature and 

ASD

. The anti-short Cycle Delay range is 0 to 12 minutes (in 1-minute increments). 

 

Sensor Failure Operation (SF)

 establishes how the A419 control’s output-relay operates the 

equipment in the event of a sensor or sensor wiring failure. The user may select to run the equipment 
continuously or to shut it down. When the control detects a sensor circuit failure, the LCD flashes SF 
alternately with OP (if the sensor circuit is open), or

 SH

 (If the sensor circuit is shorted). Before 

indicating a failure, the control implements a 1-minute delay, which allows verification of failure 

condition and avoids nuisance failure indications. 
 

Temperature Offset (OFS)

 establishes a set secondary 

Set point

 and 

Differentia

l values that may 

be invoked to control an application when a circuit is closed between the binary input (

BIN

) and 

common (

COM

) terminals (and 

BIN

 appears on the display). See Figure 3. Offset range is 0 to 50F˚ or 

C˚ (in 1-degree increments). A typical application might use a switching time clock to invoke night-
setback temperature settings. 

 

IMPORTANT:

    Make sure the Touchpad Lock jumper is installed (unlocked) before attempting to 

adjust the A419 control functions. 

 

Changing the A419 Control Temperature Units 

The A419 control is factory set to display Fahrenheit temperature. To change to Celsius, press

 Up

 and 

Down

 (arrows) simultaneously. Press them again to display Fahrenheit units. Verify that the control is 

displaying the desired temperature units before setting the Set point.
