UDT - Universal Defrost Timer

Universal Defrost Timer (UDT)

The Universal Defrost Timer family consists of two models: electric defrost and off-cycle defrost. Both models can

be wired directly to 120V AC, 208V AC or 240V AC power sources. The timers can be used in place of traditional

electromechanical defrost time clocks. Users should review this document, including terminal specifications, to ensure

compatibility with the application.

The timer maintains and displays the current time and each defrost cycle. The user can glance at the display and

immediately determine what time it is as well as see the defrost settings (start time and duration). In

addition, colored LEDs indicate the current system mode (refrigeration or defrost).

What to do if all the display segments and LEDs are flashing on my Robertshaw Paragon 9145 Timer?

  If all the display segments and LEDs are flashing, it indicates the control has detected a catastrophic or programming failure. To resolve this, first, ensure the correct voltage is applied to the appropriate terminals. Next, check the device's wiring. Then, perform a PROGRAM RESET. If the issue resolves, reprogram the device. However, if the flashing continues, the timer should be replaced.

What does it mean if the display is flashing a G during normal operation on my Robertshaw Timer?

  A flashing 'G' on the display during normal operation indicates a shorted defrost termination switch on Terminal G. To fix this, check the wiring of the defrost termination switch and verify the switch operation. Replace the defrost termination switch if needed. Once the switch operates normally, the flashing 'G' will automatically reset, possibly after one defrost cycle.

  If the display segments and backlight are not on, first verify that the proper voltage is applied to the correct terminals. If the issue persists, perform a PROGRAM RESET. If neither of these steps resolves the problem, the timer should be replaced.
