Defrost timer for commercial refrigeration
The Paragon 8141-00 defrost control timer manages automatic defrost cycles on 120-240 VAC systems. It carries a 40 A rating and provides one normally open and two normally closed contacts. The steel enclosure suits indoor machinery environments.
Verify voltage and contact wiring before install
Confirm the supply voltage falls within the 120-240 VAC range and that the 40 A rating covers the connected load. Ensure the termination method matches temperature or pressure initiation requirements. The timer allows one to six cycles per day with a minimum four-hour interval between successive defrost events.
Adjustable defrost duration for sustained operation
Defrost time is adjustable from 4 to 110 minutes in two-minute increments to match coil conditions. The fixed four-hour minimum spacing prevents overlapping cycles during continuous running. Steel housing and rated contacts maintain function through repeated daily switching.

Questions about this item
What comes with the Paragon 8141-00 defrost timer and what must be purchased separately?
The timer itself is supplied; mounting hardware and any temperature or pressure sensors required for defrost initiation are not included.
How do I choose between the available defrost cycle settings on the 8141-00?
Select 1 to 6 cycles per day with at least 4 hours between cycles, and set defrost duration from 4 to 110 minutes in 2‑minute increments to match the refrigeration load.
What does the 40 A rating mean when the timer is installed in a 120‑240 VAC circuit?
The contacts can switch up to 40 A at either 120 V or 240 V AC, so the timer directly controls compressor or heater loads within that current limit.
