Paragon 8041-20 Defrost Control Timer
This Paragon defrost control timer manages defrost cycles for commercial refrigeration equipment. It operates on 120 to 240 VAC power and handles a 40 A resistive load through its contact configuration. The unit is designed for new installations or direct replacement in existing systems requiring precise time-based defrost management.
Replaces mechanical timers with limited scheduling
The timer provides up to six on/off cycles per day with adjustable defrost durations ranging from 4 to 110 minutes. This flexibility suits systems needing multiple daily defrost periods rather than a single fixed interval. The upgrade is worthwhile when existing controls cannot accommodate variable defrost timing or lack the contact rating for the connected load.
Steel enclosure protects contacts during
The steel enclosure shields internal components in typical machinery environments. Contacts rated for 40 A at 208/240 VAC maintain reliable switching across repeated daily cycles. Sustained performance depends on proper installation within the specified voltage and current limits.

Questions about this item
What voltage and amperage ratings does the 8041-20 timer need to match my circuit?
The timer operates on 120-240 VAC and handles up to 40 A with its 1 NO/2 NC contacts.
How do I wire the 1 NO/2 NC contacts and set the defrost cycles on this timer?
Connect the load to the normally open and normally closed terminals, then adjust the dial for 4 to 110 minutes of defrost time with up to 6 cycles per day.
When should I plan to replace the 8041-20 timer in my defrost system?
Replace the timer if the steel enclosure shows corrosion, contacts fail to switch at the 40 A rating, or the cycle mechanism stops advancing through the 6 daily cycles.
