REPLACING EXISTING DEFROST TIMERS
The DTAV40E will replace all models of Paragon 8140, 8240 Series or Precision 6040, 6140 Series and all prior Grasslin Defrost Timer models.
TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION:
The standard DTAV40E terminal identification is identical to the Paragon 8145 with the addition of the "F" terminal. Terminal identification labels are provided for the other models to be placed
over the printed numbers on the printed circuit board. From the table above, select the proper label, apply to printed circuit board and wire per the original wiring or the wiring diagrams indicated.
"F" TERMINAL:
The DTAV40E contains a normally closed contact between terminals 1 and F. This terminal may be used to switch the fans off during a defrost rather than terminals 2 and 4. For hot gas defrost
applications, with the mode switch set to position "B", the fans may be connected to terminal "F".
8143 Replacement: When replacing a Paragon 8143, wire the termination thermostat to terminal X of the DTAV40E (with the 8143 label attached), and the adjacent blank terminal. The Paragon
timers are wired to terminal X and the blank terminal. If the termination thermostat is wired to terminal N of the DTAV40E temperature termination will not occur and may result in burnout of the
DTAV40E. See wiring diagrams 5 & 6.
8240 SERIES REPLACEMENT: The DTAV40E may be used to replace the Paragon 8240 series defrost timers with integral pressure termination by the addition of a remote pressure switch wired
to terminals Xp and p of the DTAV40E (with an 8240 series terminal label applied). There must be no external voltage connected to the pressure switch. Set pressure switch cut-in to the same
value as set on the Paragon defrost timer being replaced. Set cut-out 6 to 14 psi below cut-in. See wiring diagrams 2 and 7.
