Does anyone know what the altitude calibration settings/adjustment #s are for an A19 analog temp controller? This comes into question since I live in the Denver area (at about 5000+ ft).
I recently picked up a new (not secondhand/used) analog A19 Johnson Controller for the second chest freezer. It works fine in terms of holding steady temps and such, its just that the temp on the controller dial doesn't match what the chest freezer is - like the controller would be set at 40F and the freezer would be 46-48F, or Controller at 32F and the freezer at 38-40F.
Would the higher altitude account for these differences in an analog/capillary bulb controller? It's not a huge issue for me to adjust myself to the difference in numbers, I was just curious to look for an explanation...
