CAUTION

Hansen Frost Master® defrost controls are only for 
refrigeration systems.  These instructions and related 
safety  precautions  must  be  read  completely  and 
understood before selecting, using, or servicing these 
controls.  Only knowledgeable, trained refrigeration 
mechanics should install, operate, or service these 
controls.  Stated electrical and temperature ranges 
should not be exceeded.  Any wiring and application 
diagrams provided are for illustration purposes only.  

The  system  designer  has  the  final  responsibility  as 

to how these defrost controls are connected, set and 
operated.  The designer is also responsible for systems 
and components being designed to prevent abnormal 
pressures or velocity impact pressure surges.  Where 
critical temperatures or products are involved, back-
up temperature controls or alarms are required.  See 
also Safety Precautions in current List Price Bulletin 
and Safety Precautions Sheet supplied with product.  
Escaping  refrigerant  might  cause  personal  injury, 
particularly to the eyes and lungs.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

These  controllers  require  practically  no  service  or 

maintenance.  The only field replaceable components 
are  the  time  clocks  (24  hour  clock,  -A  suffix,  p/n 
67-0007 or -B suffix, p/n 67-0029; or 7 day clock, -A 
suffix, p/n 67-0009 or -B suffix, p/n 67-0030) for all 
models and the terminate temperature sensor (p/n 67-
0052) for the Frost Master®  Plus.  To replace clock, 
disconnect all power to control unit.  Remove each 
of three 5/32” socket cap screws located at corners 
of clock.  Carefully pry clock away with hand.  Install 
new  clock  by  inserting  its  spade  terminals  into  the 
clamp connectors located on the controller. Replace 
screws, restore power, and set time-of-day and defrost 
start times.

WARRANTY

Hansen  defrost  controllers  are  guaranteed  against 
defective materials or workmanship for 90 days F.O.B. 
our plant.  No consequential damages or field labor 
is included.

REMOTE INITIATE MODELS

Remote Initiate Models FM-01, FM-02 and FMP-01 are 
supplied  less  any  time  clock  and  horizontal  jumper 
wire.    The  defrost  begins  when  the  initiate  spade 
terminals are momentarily closed.  The next defrost 
will occur as soon as the present defrost is completed 
and  the  initiate  terminals  are  opened  and  then  re-
closed.  This model is especially well suited for use 
with plant computers, PLC’s, production equipment 
control relays, push buttons, etc.

TYPICAL SPECIFICATIONS

“Defrost controls shall have the ability to pump down 

evaporator, apply hot gas for frost removal, equalize 
evaporator  pressure,  and  delay  fans.    Furthermore, 
they shall provide connections for optional initiate and 
terminate defrost devices, be capable of staggering 
defrosts so as not to allow too many evaporators or 
evaporators  in  close  proximity  to  one  another  from 
going into defrost at the same time.  They shall provide 
a remote initiate device connection, or 24 hour or 7-day 
scheduling time clock with battery back-up in case of 
short term power failure as manufactured by Hansen 

Technologies Corporation or approved equal.”
