Include the invoice and the salvage value vice parts to serve refrigeration contractors and servicemen.
HIGH PRESSURE CONTROL The high pressure control is a single pole pressure activated pressure rise. The highest point reached before cut-out is the switch that opens on a pressure rise to de-energize the en- cut-out setting of the control. tire control circuit except for compressor crankcase heaters. It senses condenser pressure and is factory set to open at CAUTION: Although there is an additional pressure relief 380 psig and can be manually reset closed at 315 psig.
