HVAC Source TM February 2012, Volume 37 Did you know? Paragon® Universal Defrost Timers (UDT) Provide Superior Quality Compared to the Competition • The Paragon UDT is rated to last 5 times longer with UL873 standard • The Paragon UDT operates within a temperature range of -30ºF to 130ºF • Paragon is the brand name synonymous with years of quality performance What’s the big deal about UL873? UL Comparison Standard UL873 UL917 Application Commercial Refrigeration Electric Timers Life Cycle 30,000 6,000 30°F to 130°F Room Temperature Maximum Load (30A) No Load Required Environment Load Requirement The UL873 standard approved by Underwriters Laboratory sets specific functional and life cycle standards for equipment used in temperature regulation as it pertains to refrigeration applications. UL873 insures the equipment will maintain safe and proper operation in commercial refrigeration environments. Competitive electric timer products use a different standard UL917. The UL917 standard is rated for clock-operated time controls not commercial refrigeration defrost timers. Paragon Universal Defrost Products are the only multi-voltage defrost controls rated to UL873 standards. How does the UL873 differ from UL917? As the standard relates to Paragon and competitive defrost controls, Paragon controls rated to UL873 are tested and certified to last five times longer at 4 defrosts per day, than timers rated to UL917 standards.
