PARAGON

Paragon is a brand historically associated with electromechanical and digital defrost controls for refrigeration and HVACR systems. The product line includes defrost timers and related switches used to initiate and terminate automatic defrost cycles in commercial refrigerators, freezers, and walk-in coolers. These devices are typically specified by voltage, contact configuration, and maximum cycle time. Common configurations include SPDT, SPDT-NO/NC, and SPDT-NO/2NC contacts, with voltage ratings spanning 120V AC, 208/240V AC, and 120/208-240V AC. Maximum cycle times range from 15 minutes to 8 hours, depending on the model. Enclosed and OEM-style electromechanical versions are available, as well as enclosed digital timers. Many models carry UL Listed, CSA, and RoHS markings. The defrost timers are designed to replace original equipment parts and are matched to the appliance's brand and model number. 3G Electric supplies Paragon defrost timers and switches as part of its industrial equipment catalog. The company supports procurement and maintenance teams by providing access to these components with global shipping. 3G Electric's role is to make it straightforward to source the correct Paragon part for a given refrigeration system, whether for routine maintenance or emergency repair. The catalog includes assorted brand parts for refrigerators and freezers, such as the D877-20 model, which operates at 240V with a circuit mode and odd-hour solenoid. Other examples include the A1400-00 and A1402-00 OEM-style electromechanical switches, the 8041-20 and 8145-20 enclosed electromechanical timers, the 8145-AV enclosed timer, the 9145-00 digital timer, and the 8045-00 enclosed electromechanical switch. Each part is identified by its manufacturer part number, voltage, contact type, and cycle time to help buyers match specifications. 3G Electric does not manufacture these products; it distributes them. The company's focus is on providing accurate product data and logistics support so that plant engineers and maintenance managers can obtain the right replacement parts without unnecessary delay. For technical buyers, the key considerations when selecting a Paragon defrost timer include the system voltage, the required contact configuration, the defrost cycle duration, and whether an electromechanical or digital control is preferred. Enclosed versions offer protection for the internal mechanism, while OEM-style versions are intended to match original mounting and wiring. The timers are used in a variety of refrigeration applications, including commercial kitchens, supermarkets, cold storage warehouses, and food processing facilities. Because defrost failures can lead to ice buildup, reduced efficiency, and product loss, having access to correct replacement timers is important for maintenance operations. 3G Electric maintains a catalog of Paragon defrost controls and can source specific models as needed. The company serves a global customer base and provides quotation and order support for these components. This brand profile is intended to give procurement specialists and maintenance managers a factual overview of the Paragon defrost timer line as offered by 3G Electric.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about PARAGON from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between the Paragon A1400-00 and A1402-00 defrost timers?

Both are OEM-style electromechanical defrost timer switches with SPDT contacts rated 15 A at 120V AC. The primary difference is the maximum cycle time: the A1400-00 has a 6-hour maximum cycle time, while the A1402-00 has an 8-hour maximum cycle time. Both are used to initiate and terminate defrost cycles in commercial refrigeration systems. They carry UL Listed, CSA, and RoHS markings. Selection depends on the defrost duration required by the specific refrigeration system. 3G Electric lists both models with their respective specifications to help buyers match the correct part.

What voltage options are available for Paragon enclosed defrost timer switches?

Paragon enclosed electromechanical defrost timer switches are available in several voltage ratings. Models such as the 8045-00 operate at 120V AC, while the 8041-20 and 8145-20 are rated for 208/240V AC. The 8145-AV operates on 120-240V AC. The digital model 9145-00 operates on 120/208-240V AC. These options allow matching to different refrigeration system voltages. Contact configurations also vary, including SPDT-NO/NC and SPDT-NO/2NC. Maximum cycle times range from 15 minutes to 110 minutes for these enclosed models. Buyers should verify the voltage and contact configuration required by their equipment.

How do I select the correct Paragon defrost timer for my refrigeration system?

Selection involves matching the timer's voltage rating, contact configuration, and maximum cycle time to the requirements of the refrigeration system. First, identify the system voltage (e.g., 120V AC, 208/240V AC). Next, determine the required contact configuration, such as SPDT, SPDT-NO/NC, or SPDT-NO/2NC. Then, confirm the defrost cycle duration needed, which corresponds to the timer's maximum cycle time. Also consider whether an electromechanical or digital timer is preferred, and whether an enclosed or OEM-style form factor is required. The manufacturer part number of the original timer can be cross-referenced. 3G Electric provides detailed specifications for each Paragon model to assist with matching.

Are Paragon defrost timers suitable for commercial freezer applications?

Yes, Paragon defrost timers are used in commercial refrigeration and freezer systems to control automatic defrost cycles. They help prevent ice buildup on evaporator coils, which can reduce efficiency and cause temperature fluctuations. Models such as the D877-20 (240V, circuit mode with odd-hour solenoid) and the A1400-00 (120V AC, SPDT, 6-hour max cycle) are examples of timers used in these applications. The timers initiate and terminate defrost cycles based on time. Enclosed versions provide protection for the internal mechanism. When replacing a timer, match the voltage, contact configuration, and cycle time to the original specifications. 3G Electric supplies these timers for maintenance and repair operations.

What does the maximum cycle time mean on a Paragon defrost timer?

The maximum cycle time on a Paragon defrost timer refers to the longest duration the timer can be set for a defrost cycle. For example, the A1400-00 has a 6-hour maximum cycle time, while the 8041-20 has a 110-minute maximum cycle time. This value indicates the upper limit for the defrost period, which is determined by the specific refrigeration system's requirements. The timer can typically be adjusted to shorter durations within that range. Selecting a timer with an appropriate maximum cycle time ensures the defrost cycle is long enough to clear ice but not so long that it causes excessive temperature rise in the refrigerated space. The correct cycle time is usually specified by the equipment manufacturer.

Does 3G Electric provide technical support for Paragon defrost timer selection?

3G Electric provides product data and specification details for the Paragon defrost timers it distributes. The catalog includes manufacturer part numbers, voltage ratings, contact configurations, and maximum cycle times. This information supports buyers in matching the correct replacement part to their refrigeration system. For specific application questions, buyers should consult the equipment manufacturer's documentation or a qualified technician. 3G Electric's role is to supply the components and facilitate ordering. The company serves a global customer base and can assist with quotations and logistics for Paragon defrost controls.
