    Does anyone know how to wire a Johnson??

    We bought a Johnson A419 to run our walkin because last year our Ranco sucked but when it came to wiring the Johnson the instructions are very confusing! Its not as easy as the Ranco was to wire. If anyone could take a picture of their wired Johnson that would be GREAT!
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Just curious, why did the Ranco suck for you? I've got both Rancos and Johnsons running over here and they're virtually the same for me. Only difference I've come across yet is you can put a nightdrop module on the Johnson.

    I've had em both and I like the Rancos better.

    Simply because they are more pleasing to the eye to me than the Johnson Controls.

    I do like that the JC has the ability to have a night drop hooked up to it, other than that they're the same.

    I think the Rancos click a little quieter than the JC as well, but that's inconsequential.

    I pretty much feel the same way. Although I have noticed that since I switched out the thermostat on my oil-filled heater from a Ranco to a Johnson (for the night drop) I get a 3-4 degree swing with the Johnson between turning on and off as opposed to 1-2 with the Ranco.
