White-Rodgers 16A60-9 Control

For veteran contractors managing commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems, the White-Rodgers 16A60-9 Control offers a specialized solution for freeze protection and low-temperature monitoring. This single-stage, remote bulb control operates within a precise range of -20°F to 50°F, making it an essential component for safeguarding evaporator coils and prevent freeze-ups in demanding industrial environments. The hydraulic capillary sensing element provides exceptional accuracy and is largely unaffected by vibration, ensuring reliable performance without the need for complex leveling during installation. Featuring an SPST switch action that opens on a fall in temperature, this control is primarily used to shut down cooling equipment before critical low-point thresholds are reached. The manual reset mechanism is a vital safety feature, requiring a technician's physical inspection before the system can resume operation after a trip. Housed in a durable, dustproof steel case with multiple knockouts, the White-Rodgers 16A60-9 integrates seamlessly into existing low-voltage safety circuits or line-voltage applications up to 240V AC.

• Precise Freeze Protection: Calibrated -20°F to 50°F range with a default 36°F factory setting for immediate coil safety.
• Enhanced Safety Logic: Manual reset ensures a qualified technician investigates the root cause of the temperature drop before system restart.
• Vibration-Resistant Sensing: The 10-foot hydraulic copper capillary and remote bulb allow for flexible placement away from direct mechanical stress.
• Rugged Enclosure: Includes a NEMA-rated steel case with top/bottom knockouts for versatile conduit entry and protection against harsh mechanical room conditions.
• Reliable Switching: High-amperage SPST contacts support 120V (9.8A FLA) and 240V (4.9A FLA) for direct compressor or solenoid control.

Is the sensor element sensitive to vertical alignment?
No, the 16A60-9 uses a hydraulic action element that remains accurate regardless of mounting position and is highly resistant to ambient vibration.

Can I adjust the minimum temperature set point?
Yes, the unit features a graduated temperature dial with an adjustable stop to limit the minimum setting, preventing accidental adjustments below safe operating levels.

Does this unit auto-restart after the temperature rises?
No, this specific model requires a manual reset. For an automatic reset version, you would need to look at the 1609 series or similar constant-differential controls.
