The Ranco A30-262 Refrigeration Control is a heavy-duty, adaptable constant differential temperature control engineered for precision in commercial refrigeration, freezers, and ice machines. This SPST cold control is designed for high-performance switching, featuring high-amperage contacts rated for up to 20 Amps at 120/240V AC. It utilizes laser-welded stainless steel bellows and a vapor-filled capillary to ensure reliable pneumatic action and consistent response to temperature fluctuations. With an 84-inch capillary length, this unit offers the reach needed for versatile sensor placement in complex configurations. The A30-262 is mechanically identical to the A30-262-070, providing a direct cross-reference for service and cabinet maintenance. The control includes an integrated "Off" position and a set differential of 12°F, with a normal range opening at 20°F and closing at 32°F. Whether you are performing a field replacement or a new install, the break-off shaft and standard 1/4-inch quick-connect terminals ensure a fast, efficient setup for any veteran technician. Key Benefits Universal Compatibility: Readily adaptable to most commercial refrigerators, freezers, and ice machines, serving as a primary refrigeration thermostat replacement. Rugged Construction: Equipped with laser-welded bellows for extended service life under demanding cycling conditions. Flexible Installation: Features a long 84" capillary and break-off shafts to accommodate various mounting depths and dial configurations. High Electrical Capacity: Robust SPST switch action rated for 20A full load ensures compatibility with heavy compressor loads. Common Questions Is this part compatible with the Ranco A30-262-070? Yes, the A30-262 and A30-262-070 are identical units and can be used interchangeably in all applications. What are the cut-in and cut-out temperature settings? Under normal operation, the control is set to cut out at 20°F and cut in at 32°F, maintaining a consistent 12°F differential. Can the capillary tube be shortened? No. The 84-inch capillary is a sealed, vapor-filled sensing element. Cutting it will destroy the pneumatic action and render the control inoperative.
