The Johnson Controls T-5800-3 is a precision-engineered pneumatic receiver controller designed for demanding commercial and industrial HVAC control applications. Built for flexibility and accuracy, this dual-input proportional controller accepts two pneumatic input signals and delivers reliable, responsive control output in a wide range of building automation and air handling systems.
Direct or Reverse Acting — Field Selectable
One of the standout features of the T-5800-3 is its field-selectable direct or reverse acting operation, combined with field-selectable direct or reverse readjustment. This eliminates the need for separate controller variants on the job site, giving technicians the flexibility to configure the unit to match the exact control sequence required — without returning to the supply house.
Adjustable Proportional Gain
The T-5800-3 features a wide-range adjustable gain setting, configurable from 0.5:1 to 15:1, with the factory default set at approximately 10:1. This broad adjustment range allows the controller to be fine-tuned for optimal proportional response across a variety of system types and load conditions, from slow-responding hydronic systems to faster air-side applications.
