Paragon B1400-00 Defrost Timer SPDT 120V AC 15A 21min
A 120 V AC defrost timer with SPDT contacts rated at 15 A and a 21 minute cycle
- SPDT contacts simplify wiring for defrost circuits
- 120 V AC rating matches standard refrigeration supply
- 15 A switching capacity handles compressor loads
- 21 minute defrost cycle fits typical timer programmes
- Eight daily cycles provide reliable automatic operation
Application fit
The Paragon B1400-00 is a defrost control timer designed for refrigeration systems that require scheduled defrost cycles. It suits technicians and facility managers who need a mechanical timer to automate defrost initiation on 120V AC circuits. Buyers needing programmable electronic controls or timers compatible with voltages other than 120V AC should look elsewhere.
Thermals noise power
The unit operates at 120V AC with a 15A contact rating, using mechanical contacts to switch the defrost heater circuit. It supports up to eight on/off cycles per day, with each defrost period lasting 21 minutes. No active cooling or fan is present, so acoustic output is limited to the mechanical switching sound during operation.
Sustained load behaviour
Under continuous daily scheduling, the timer reliably initiates defrost cycles at the set intervals without drift. The mechanical contact design handles the rated 15A load across repeated cycles, maintaining consistent 21-minute defrost durations over extended service periods.

Questions about this item
How is the Paragon B1400-00 defrost timer wired into a 120V AC circuit?
Connect the line voltage to the timer motor terminals and the load to the SPDT contacts rated for 15 A at 120V AC.
What maintenance does the mechanical contact timer require over time?
The mechanical contacts are rated for eight on/off cycles per day; plan to inspect or replace the unit when contact wear affects switching reliability.
What is the longest continuous defrost period the timer allows before it must terminate?
The timer provides a fixed 21-minute defrost duration per cycle before the SPDT contacts switch to end the defrost period.
