- Temperature Range: 15°F to 55°F (-9°C to 13°C) for low-temperature refrigeration and heating control
- Capillary Length: 20 feet for extended remote sensing reach
- Conduit Opening: 1/2″ for standard electrical conduit connections
- Safety Lockout: Manual reset lockout prevents automatic restart after a fault condition
- Applications: Refrigeration systems, walk-in coolers, low-temperature heating circuits
Manual Reset Lockout
The A70BA-18 features a lockout with manual reset, an important safety function that holds the system off after a temperature limit trip. This prevents nuisance cycling and protects refrigeration equipment and heating systems from damage caused by repeated fault conditions — requiring deliberate operator intervention before the system can restart.
Designed for Refrigeration and Heating
Built to Johnson Controls’ exacting standards, the A70BA-18 delivers dependable performance in both refrigeration and heating environments. The open-low switching action is ideal for low-limit safety cutout applications, ensuring equipment shuts down when temperatures fall below the setpoint — protecting product, equipment, and personnel.
