Description
The Paragon 8143-20 is a 240-volt defrost timer control engineered for commercial and light-commercial refrigeration systems. Designed with a time-initiated defrost cycle, it offers the flexibility of dual termination modes — defrost can be ended by either a temperature sensor signal or by a preset number of defrost cycles, ensuring efficient and adaptive frost management regardless of operating conditions.
How It Works
The 8143-20 initiates defrost on a timed schedule, then terminates the cycle based on whichever condition is met first: a rise to the target temperature (temperature termination) or completion of a set number of defrost events (number termination). This dual-termination logic prevents unnecessary defrost run time, protects product quality, and reduces energy consumption.
