When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the bill of lading to make sure all crates
and cartons have been received. All units should be carefully inspected for hidden damage when received. If any damage is found, it should be reported to the carrier immediately and a claim should be filed. The unit nameplate should be
checked to make sure that the voltage agrees with the power supply available.
Installation
NOTE: Installation and maintenance are
to be performed only by qualified
personnel who are familiar with
local codes and regulations, and
experienced with this type of
equipment.
Installation and service of this equipment should be performed only by qualified and experienced commercial refrigeration
mechanics. Correct application and installation of this equipment is necessary to obtain optimum performance and
customer satisfaction. Install all equipment, piping and electrical in accordance with local and national codes and in
conformance with good practice required for proper operation. Work safely! Prevent accidents!
The final step in any installation is to instruct the customer or user in the operation of the equipment. The customer
should be shown how the equipment can be made to operate properly and efficiently. Maintenance requirements
should be explained.
Expansion Valve
Install expansion valve and feeler bulb inside cabinet of the unit. Recommended valve sizes are given for each
product family.
CAUTION: Sharp edges and coil surfaces are
a potential injury hazard. Avoid
contact with them.
Drain Line
After installing the fan panel assembly, connect the drain line to the fitting provided on the unit. A plastic hose or
metal drain line can be used.
The drain line should be pitched sharply and exit the cabinet as quickly as possible. Traps in the drain line should
be located in a warm ambient to prevent freeze-up.
If only a small portion of the drain line is located in the refrigerated area, a drain line heater will not be required.
If a drain line heater is required, use approximately 15 watts per foot of pipe. Connect the heater wire to the
terminals of the heater circuit (N and 3) at the terminal block in the junction box. The heater will then operate
during the defrost cycle.
All condensate water must be disposed of properly and should not be allowed to accumulate or cause a safety
hazard.
Motors
Motors are lifetime lubricated and thermally protected. Check an inoperative motor by disconnecting and applying
correct voltage across leads. If test fails, replace the motor.
Wiring
The nameplate on the unit is marked with the electrical characteristics to be used for wiring the unit. The unit must
be grounded. All wiring should be done in accordance with applicable national and local codes.
Maintenance
Periodically inspect unit for grease and soil accumulation. Clean with warm water and soap. Do not use cleaners containing
ammonia. Inspect the drain pan/fan panel occasionally for proper condensate drainage. Keep the drain opening clean.
WARNING: All power must be disconnected before cleaning drain pan/fan panel. It serves as a cover
of hazardous moving parts. Operation of unit without pan in place constitutes a hazard.
WARNING: Refrigerant can be harmful if it is inhaled. Refrigerant must be used and recovered
responsibly. Failure to follow this warning may result in personal injury or death.

ELECTRIC DEFROST TROUBLESHOOTING
The electric defrost units are relatively simple and trouble-free in operation:
Timer
If the system does not go through its proper sequence , check timer operation through a defrost cycle. Check for loose
wires or terminals. Before replacing timer, check other components.
Operation of Paragon Timer
To set time of day grasp knob which is in the center of the inner (fail-safe) dial and rotate it in a counter-clockwise direction.
This will cause the outer (24 hour) dial to revolve. Line up the correct time of day on the outer dial with the time pointer.
Do not try to set the time control by grasping the other (24 hour) dial. Place pins in the outer dial at the time of day that
defrost is required.
Operation of Grasslin Timer
To set 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. Do not rotate minute hand counter-clockwise. Move the white tab (tripper) on the
outer dial outward at each desired initiation time. Each white tab (tripper) is a 15 minute interval and provides 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 7:00 AM, move the tabs outward that lie between 7:00 - 7:15, 7:15 - 7:30 and 7:30 - 7:45
on the AM side of the dial. The defrost will initiate at 7:00 AM and time terminate at 7:45 AM (if temperature termination
does not occur first).
Fan Motor
If the motor does not operate or it cycles on thermal overload, remove motor leads from terminal block and apply correct
voltage across the leads. If motor still does not operate satisfactorily, it must be replaced. Before starting the unit, rotate
fan blades to make sure they turn freely and have sufficient clearance.
Fan Delay & Defrost Termination Control
This control is a single pole double throw switch. The red lead wire is wired to common. The black wire is wired in series
with the fan motors. The brown wire is wired in series with the defrost termination solenoid in the timer. The brown and
red contacts close and the black and red contacts open when the temperature is above 55
close and the brown and red contacts open when the temperature is below 35ºF.
On initial “pull down” of a warm box the fan will not start until the coil temperature reaches approximately 35
is still comparatively warm (60
to 55ºF and thus stop the fan. Therefore, the fan may recycle on initial “pull down.” This control cannot be adjusted.
If the fan motor fails to start when the control is below 35
described for fan motors. Also check whether current is being supplied at “N” and “4” from the timer. The fan delay
control must be below 35ºF when checking for a closed circuit.

Defrost Heater
If unit shows very little or no defrosting and does not heat, disconnect heater and check to find if it is burned out. To test,
apply correct voltage across heater or use continuity flashlight battery tester.
Drain Pan
If drain pan has an ice build-up, drain line may be frozen. The drain line should be pitched sharply and exit cabinet
as quickly as possible. Sometimes location and ambient at the drain outside of cabinet may cause freeze-up. A drain
line heater may be required to correct the freeze-up. Any traps in the drain line must be located in a
warm ambient.
NOTE: After correcting faulty condition it is
essential that the coil and unit be free of
ice before placing unit back on automatic
operation.
