The DTSX Defrost Timer is identical in function, terminal identifi-
cation, and wiring to the Paragon 8140 and Prec ision 6140
series Defrost Timers. The DTSX 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 DTSX
can replace the Paragon 8240 series and Precision 6240 series
pressure terminated defrost timers.
Defrosts will be initiated at the times set on 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 dura-
tion is settable in 15 minute intervals from a minimum of 15 min-
utes up to several hours (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1
hour, 1 hour-15 minutes, etc.) The defrost duration determines
the termination time.
In standard c onfiguration, the c ontacts between terminals 1 and
3 are normally open and close during a defrost to energize
defrost heaters; the contacts between terminals 2 and 4 are nor-
mally closed (when timer is energized) and open during a
defrost to de-energize refrigeration and fans.
DTS X Time Initiated, R emote T emperature, P res s ure or
Time Terminated: Is used in electric or hot gas defrost applica-
tions where the defrost is terminated when the coil is frost free,
as sensed by a temperature or pressure switch, even though
the defrost programmed termination time has not been reached.
The time termination functions as a fail-safe and will terminate
the defrost if the temperature or pressure switch fails to do so.
The temperature or pressure switch on the refrigeration coil
have contacts which c lose on a temperature or pressure rise to
above the freezing level, indicating that frost and ice have melt-
ed from the coil. Typically a wide differential S PDT temperature
switch is used, with it's normally closed contacts wired to the
fans, so that the fans are delayed from turning on after defrost
termination, until the coil temperature has dropped back to
below freezing. In most applications, the c ontacts at terminals
2-4 are normally c losed (when timer is energized) and control
the fans and refrigeration equipment or compressor. For hot gas
defrost, or for double pole switching, the 2-4 c ontacts may be
configured as normally open by moving jumper S 1 to the "B "
position. R efer to wiring diagrams 1 thru 12.
ÒFÓ Terminal: The DTSX contains a normally closed contact
between terminals 1-F. This terminal may be used for switching
the fans off during a defrost rather than the 2-4 terminals. For
hot gas defrost applications, with S1 in the "B " pos ition, the fans
may be connected to the "F" terminal.

Note: For outdoor locations, R aintight
, or wet location conduit
hubs that c omply with requirements of UL 514B (s tandard for fit-
tings for conduit and outlet boxes) are to be used.
1. Remove 2 screws retaining the interior cover panel and
remove panel by prying out with a thin blade (NE MA3R ).
2. Select knockouts to be used. R emove the inner (1/2") knock-
out by inserting a sc rewdriver in the slot and c arefully punch
knockout loose. Remove slug. If the 3/4" knoc kout is
required, remove the outer ring with pliers after removing the
1/2" knockout. S mooth edges with knife if necessary.
3. Place enclosure in desired mounting loc ation and mark the
three mounting holes.
4. Drill holes for #10 screws, start screws in holes.
5. Place enclosure over screws and tighten screws.
6. C onnect c onduit hubs to c onduit before c onnecting the hubs
to the enclosure. After inserting hubs into enc losure, carefully
tighten hub lock nut. Do not over-torque.

S etting the Time:
Turn the minute hand clockwise until the time of day (and AM
or PM) on the outer dial is aligned with the triangle marker on
the inner dial.
S etting Defros t Initiation T ime:
Move a white tab (tripper) on the outer dial outward at each
desired initiation time. For example, to set defrost initiation
times at 6:00AM, 11:30AM, 4:30PM and 11:00PM, move the
tab adjacent to the "M" in AM on the dial (6:00AM), the tab
that lies between 11:30AM and 11:45 AM, the tab between
4:30PM and 4:45PM, and the tab adjacent to the
11:00-11:15PM marks. (See note for 8243/6243 replac ement.)
DO N O T R O T A T E M I N U T E H A N D C O U N T E R -C L OC K W I S E
S etting Maximum Defros t Duration:
Different defrost durations may be set for each defrost initiation
setting. E ach white tab (tripper) provides a 15 minute interval.
The tabs that set the initiation time provide a minimum of 15
minutes of defrost. For longer defrost duration, move additional
tabs (following in time) from the initiation tab. For example, if a
45 minute defrost is to start at 7:00AM,
move the tab outward that lies between
7:00 and 7:15 on the AM side of the dial,
and the tabs adjacent to 7:15-7:30 and
7:30-7:45. (3 tabs moved outward). The
defrost will initiate at 7:00AM and time ter-
minate at 7:45AM (if temperature termina-
tion does not occur first.)
For elec tronic models , refer to s eparate programming
ins tructions .

IMP OR TANT INF OR MATION: The Normally C los ed contacts between terminals 2 and 4 are only clos ed when the defros t
timer is energized . The 2-4 contacts are the Normally Open contacts of relay K 2. (Normal Open relay contacts are more
reliable than Normally C los ed). When checking continuity of the control with no voltage applied, the 2-4 contacts will
appear as open ; this is normal. The 1-3 c ontac ts will appear as open and the 1-F c ontac ts will appears as clos ed. We
recommend that the control be tes ted by us ing a voltmeter, with rated voltage applied.
Note: A definite purpos e contactor must be used to switch loads greater than the following maximum loads:
Max. Fan & C ompressor Load: 120V: 1HP
208/240V: 2HP
Max. Fan Load on Terminal "F" 120V: 1HP
208/240V: 2HP

The standard DTSX 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 num-
bers on the printed circuit board. From the table below, selec t the
proper label, apply to printed c ircuit board, and wire per the original
wiring or the wiring diagrams indicated.
MODE S E L E CT ION (B lue J umperS 1)
The mode selector jumper S 1 (located at lower
right side of the board) determines the configura-
tion of contacts 2-4. In position "A" the contacts
are normally closed (only when the timer is ener-
gized), and will open during a defrost. In position
"B " the 2-4 c ontacts are normally open, and will
close during a defrost. Selec t proper pos ition
from table below, and wiring diagrams indicated.
To move jumper, pull straight away from board,
and reinsert over the top two pins for position
"B " or the bottom two pins for position "A".
N ote : When S 1 jumper is in "B " position the DTSX will operate as fol-
lows. R efrigeration Mode- R ED & G RE E N LED's will turn ON (1&3
and 2&4 break while 1&F make) Defros t Mode- R E D & G R EEN LED's
will turn OFF (1&3 and 2&4 make while 1&F break)
8 0 4 5 R E P L A C E M E N T :
The DTS X with 8045 terminal ID label applied differs from the 8045 in
that terminals 1 and N are c ombined. This means that the DTS X
model must be the same voltage as the defrost circuit (defrost heater,
contac tor coil, or hot gas valve). If being used in an application where
the defrost circuit is 120V and the refrigeration c irc uit is 240V, the
DTS X must be c onfigured for 120V application (all red jumpers insert-
ed) with 120V power connec ted to 1 -N and X , and the bridge
jumper between 1 -N and 2 must be removed.
N O T E 1 :8143 R eplacement:
When replacing a Paragon 8143 or
Prec ision 6143, wire the termination thermos tat to termi-
nal X of the DT S X and the adjac ent blank terminal. The
Paragon and Precision timers are wired to terminal N and the
blank terminal . If the termination thermostat is wired to terminal N
of the DTSX (with the 8143 label attached), temperature termination
will not oc c ur and may result in burnout of the DTMV. See wiring dia-
grams 8 & 9.
8 2 4 0 /6 2 4 0 S E R I E S R E P L A C E M E N T :
The DTS X may be used to replace the Paragon 8240 or Precision
6240 series defrost timers with integral pressure termination by the
addition of a remote pres sure switch wired to terminals X p and p of
the DTS X (with an 8240 series terminal label applied). There must be
no external voltage c onnected to the pressure switch. Set pressure
switch cut-in to the same value as set on the Paragon or Precision
defrost timer being replaced. Set cut-out 6 to 14psi below c ut-in. See
wiring diagrams 10, 11, and 12.

When replacing a Paragon 8243 or
