Paragon 8145-20B Defrost Timer
This Paragon defrost control timer manages defrost cycles for commercial refrigeration systems. It operates on 208-240V AC power and handles up to 40 amps through its SPDT contact configuration. The unit provides reliable automated defrost management for walk-in coolers and freezers.
Verify Voltage And Amperage Requirements
Before ordering, confirm your system operates on 208 or 240V AC supply voltage. Check that the connected load does not exceed the 40 amp rating of the timer contacts. Ensure your existing defrost initiation method uses temperature or pressure termination compatible with this timer's design.
Six Daily Cycles With Adjustable Duration
The timer supports a maximum of six defrost cycles per day with each cycle adjustable from 4 to 110 minutes. This cycle limit suits standard commercial refrigeration schedules rather than high-frequency defrost applications. The steel enclosure protects internal components during continuous operation in demanding environments.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the Paragon 8145-20B and what must be purchased separately?
The box contains the defrost control timer unit itself. Mounting hardware, wiring connectors and any required temperature or pressure sensors are not included and must be sourced separately.
Which voltage version of the 8145-20B should I choose for a 208 V or 240 V supply?
The timer is rated for both 208 V AC and 240 V AC operation, so a single model covers either supply voltage without needing a different version.
How does the 40 A contact rating affect the compressor load I can switch?
The SPDT contacts are rated at 40 A, allowing direct control of compressor circuits up to that current at 208/240 V AC without an additional contactor.
