Johnson Controls Pressure Switch CO400CI300OPENS On Rise

The Johnson Controls P100CP-1C is a pressure control with a cut-out of approximately 400 PSI and a cut-in of approximately 300 PSI, opening on a rise in pressure.

The specification stated in full, cut-out on rise at 400 with cut-in at 300, describes both operating points and makes the control's behaviour explicit.

Open on rise is the action of a high pressure control: contacts are closed in normal operation and open when pressure climbs to the cut-out. This is the opposite of a low pressure control, which opens on a fall.

Getting this the right way round matters at replacement, because a control with the wrong action will either hold the circuit open permanently or fail to provide protection at all. The action is stated in the control's specification and should be verified rather than assumed from the pressure figures.

The 100 PSI differential between cut-out and cut-in is what prevents the control from short cycling the compressor. After a trip, pressure must fall by that margin before the compressor restarts, which gives the condition that caused the trip time to be relieved rather than allowing an immediate restart into the same fault.

Applications include commercial refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump systems.
