REPLACING EXISTING DEFROST TIMERS
The DTAV40 will replace all models of Paragon 8040, 8140,8240 Series or Precision 6040, 6140 Series and all prior Grasslin Defrost Timer models.
TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION:
The standard DTAV40 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 DTAV40 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 DTAV40 (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 DTAV40 temperature termination will not occur and may result
in burnout of the DTAV40. See wiring diagrams 8 & 9.
8240 SERIES REPLACEMENT: The DTAV40 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 DTAV40 (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 10 and 3.

APPLICATION
The DTAV40 Defrost Timer is equivalent in function, ter-
minal identification (with appropriate terminal block label
attached), and wiring to the Paragon 8140 and Precision
6140 series Defrost Timers. (See Note 1) The DTAV40
may also be used to replace Paragon 8040 and
Precision 6040 series time terminated defrost timers.
With the addition of a remote pressure switch, the
DTAV40 can replace the Paragon 8240 series pressure
terminated defrost timers. Defrosts will be initiated by
programming the timer, which will accept from 1 to over
24 defrost initiation settings per day at 15 minute
intervals (8:00AM, 8:15AM, 8:30AM, etc) Defrost
duration is settable in 15 minute intervals from a
minimum of 15 minutes up to several hours (15 minutes,
etc.) The defrost duration determines the termination
time. In standard configuration, the contacts between
terminals 1 and 3 are normally open and closed during
a defrost to energize defrost heaters; the contacts be-

temperature switch is used with it's normally closed
contacts wired to the fans thereby delaying the fans
from coming on until the coil temperature has dropped
back to below freezing. In most applications, the con-
tacts at terminals 2 and 4 are normally closed with
S1 in "A" position and control the fans and refrigera-
tion equipment or compressor. For hot gas defrost, or
for double pole switching, contacts 2 and 4 may be
configured as normally open by selecting mode "B."
Refer to wiring diagrams 1 thru 10 for additional detail.
"F" Terminal:
The DTAV40 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 ter-
minals 2 and 4. For hot gas defrost applications, with
the mode switch set to position "B", the fans may be
connected to terminal "F."
