Paragon A1400-00 Defrost Timer 120V 21 Min
A 120V mechanical defrost timer that runs 21-minute cycles up to four times daily at 15 amps
- Automatic defrost every 6 hours with 21-minute cycle
- 120V AC operation fits standard refrigeration circuits
- 15A mechanical contacts handle compressor loads directly
- Four daily cycles maintain consistent freezer performance
- Time-terminated defrost prevents excessive ice build-up
Application fit
The Paragon A1400-00 is a 120 V AC defrost timer rated for 15 A mechanical contacts. It suits commercial refrigeration systems that require a fixed 21 minute defrost period repeating every six hours. The unit provides time-based initiation and termination without additional sensors.
Replacement scope
This timer directly replaces legacy electromechanical defrost controls that use the same voltage, amperage and cycle count. The upgrade is worthwhile when the existing timer has drifted out of calibration or when contacts show pitting after extended service. It does not suit systems needing adaptive or demand-based defrost logic.
Sustained operation
Mechanical contacts rated at 15 A handle four daily on-off cycles reliably over long periods. The fixed 21 minute defrost window repeats every six hours without cumulative timing drift. Performance remains consistent because the motor-driven mechanism does not depend on ambient temperature or load variations.
