2.5 REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT
2.5.1 Standard Operation
Starting at the compressor, (see Figure 2-6, upper
schematic) the suction gas is compressed to a higher
pressure and temperature.
Inthestandardmode,boththeeconomizerandunloader
solenoid valves are closed. The gas flows through the
discharge service valve into the oil separator. In the
separator,oil is removed from the refrigerantand stored
forreturntothecompressorwhentheoil returnsolenoid
valveisopenedbythecontroller.Theoilreturnsolenoid
valveisanormallyopenvalvewhichallowsreturnofoil
during the off cycle.
The refrigerant gas continues into the air-cooled
condenser. When operating with the air-cooled
condenser active, air flowing across the coil fins and
tubes cools the gas to saturation temperature. By
removing latent heat, the gas condenses to a high
pressure/high temperature liquid and flows to the
receiver which stores the additional charge necessary
for low temperature operation.
Whenoperatingwiththewatercooledcondenseractive
(see Figure 2-6, lower schematic), the refrigerant gas
passes through the air cooled condenser and enters the
watercooled condenser shell. The waterflowinginside
thetubing coolsthe gasto saturationtemperatureinthe
same manner as the air passing over the air cooled
condenser. The refrigerant condenses on the outside of
the tubes and exits as a high temperature liquid. The
water cooled condenser also acts as a receiver, storing
excess refrigerant.
The liquid refrigerantcontinues through the liquid line
service valve, the filter-drier (which keeps refrigerant
clean and dry) and the economizer (which is not active
during standardoperation) to the evaporator expansion
valve. As the liquid refrigerant passes through the
variable orifice of the expansion valve, some of it
vaporizes into a gas (flash gas). Heat is absorbed from
the return air by the balance of the liquid, causing it to
vaporize in the evaporator coil. The vapor then flows
throughthesuctionmodulation valveto the
compressor.
Theevaporatorexpansionvalveisactivatedbythebulb
strapped to the suction line near the evaporator outlet.
The valve maintains a constant superheat at the coil
outlet regardless of load conditions.
On systems fitted with a water pressure switch, the
condenser fan will be off when there is sufficient
pressure to open the switch. If water pressure drops
belowthe switch cut out setting, thecondenser fanwill
be automatically started. When operating a system
fitted with a condenser fan switch, the condenser fan
willbeoffwhentheswitch isplaced in the“O”position.
The condenser fan will be on when theswitch is placed
in the “I” position.
2.5.2 Economized Operation
Intheeconomizedmodethefrozenrangeandpulldown
capacityoftheunitisincreasedbysubcoolingtheliquid
refrigerant entering the evaporator expansion valve.
Overall efficiency is increased because the gas leaving
the economizer enters the compressor at a higher
pressure, therefore requiring less energy to compress it
to the required condensing conditions.
During economized operation, flow of refrigerant
through the main refrigerant system is identical to the
standard mode. (The unloader solenoid valve is
de--energized [closed] by the controller.)
Liquid refrigerant for use in the economizer circuit is
taken from the main liquid line as it leaves the
filter--drier(seeFigure 2-7).Theflowis activatedwhen
thecontroller energizesthe economizer solenoid valve.
The liquid refrigerant flows through the economizer
expansion valve and the economizer internal passages
absorbingheatfromtheliquid refrigerantflowingtothe
evaporator expansion valve. The resultant “medium”
temperature/pressure gas enters the compressor at the
economizer service valve.
2.5.3 Unloaded Operation
The system will operate in the unloaded mode during
periods of low load, during periods of required
discharge pressure or current limiting, and during
start--up.
During unloaded operation, flow of refrigerantthrough
the main refrigerant system is identical to the standard
mode. (The economizersolenoid valve isde--energized
[closed] by the controller.)
In the unloaded mode, a portion of the mid--stage
compressed gas is bypassed to decrease compressor
capacity. The flow is activated when the controller
opens the unloader solenoid valve (see Figure 2-7.
Opening of the valve creates a bypass from the
economizerservicevalvethroughtheunloadersolenoid
valve and into the suction line on the outlet side of the
suction pressure modulation valve.
Asloadonthesystemdecreases,thesuctionmodulating
valve decreases flow of refrigerant to the compressor.
This action balances the compressor capacity with the
loadandpreventsoperation with low coiltemperatures.
In this mode of operation, the liquid injection solenoid
valve will open as required to provide sufficientliquid
refrigerant flow into the suction line for cooling of the
compressor motor.

3.2.2 Operational Software (Function codes)
The Operational Software is the actual operation
programming of the controller which activates or
deactivates components inaccordancewith currentunit
operating conditions and operator selected modes of
operation.
TheprogrammingisdividedintofunctionCodes.Some
of the codes are read only while the remaining codes
may be user configured. The value of the user
configurable codes can be assigned in accordance with
user desired mode of operation. A list of the function
codes is provided in Table3-5.
Toaccess the function codes, perform the following:
a. Press the CODE SELECT key, then press an arrow
key until the left window displays the desired code
number.
b. The right window will display the value of this item
for five seconds before returning to the normal display mode.
c. If a longer time is desired, press the ENTER key to
extend the time to 30 seconds.
3.3 MODES OF OPERATION
The Operational Software responds to various inputs.
These inputs come from the temperature and pressure
sensors,thetemperaturesetpoint,the settings of thethe
configurationvariablesandthefunctioncode
assignments. The action t aken by the Operational
Software will change if any one of the inputs changes.
Overall interaction of the inputs is described as a
“mode” of operation. The modes of operation include,
perishable (chill) mode and frozen mode. Descriptions
ofthe controllerinteractionand modesof operationare
provided in the following sub paragraphs.
3.3.1 Temperature Control -- Perishable Mode
With configuration variable CnF26 (Heat Lockout
Temperature) set to --10_C the perishable mode of
operation i s active with set points at or above --10_C(+14_F). With the variable set to --5_C, the perishable
mode is active at or above --5_C(+23_F). Refer to
Table 3-4.
When in the perishable mode the controller maintains
the supply air temperature at set point, the SUPPLY
indicatorlightwillbeilluminatedonthedisplaymodule
and the default reading on the display window will be
the supply temperature sensor reading.
When the supply air temperature enters the in-range
temperature tolerance (as selected at function code
Cd30), the in-range light will energize.
3.3.2 Defrost Interval
Function code Cd27 may be operator set to initiate
defrostatintervalsof3, 6,9, 12or24hours. It mayalso
be set to OFF (no defrost). The factory default is 12
hours. (Refer to Table 3-5).
3.3.3 Failure Action
Function code Cd29 may be operator set to allow
continuedoperation in the event the control sensors are
readingout of range. The factory default is full system
shutdown. (Refer to Table 3-5).
3.3.4 Generator Protection
Function codes Cd31(Stagger Start, Offset Time) and
Cd32 (Current Limit) may be operator set to control
startupsequenceofmultipleunitsandoperatingcurrent
draw.Thefactorydefaultallowsondemandstarting(no
delay) of units and normal current draw. Refer to
Table 3-5.
3.3.5 Compressor High Temperature, Low Pressure Protection.
The controller monitors compressor suction and
discharge temperatures and pressures. If the discharge
temperature exceedsa certain limit, the liquidinjection
valve is opened to provide sufficient liquid refrigerant
flow into the economizer line to reduce the discharge
temperature. If the liquid injection is unable to reduce
thedischargetemperaturesufficientlyand the
temperature exceeds the allowed limit, the compressor
willcycle off on a 3 minute timer. The compressorwill
alsocycleoffinasimilarmannerifthe suction pressure
fallsbelowtheallowedlimit.Condenserandevaporator
fans continue to operate during t he compressor off
cycle.
3.3.6 Perishable Mode -- Conventional
The unit is capable of maintaining supply air
temperaturet o within ¦0.25_C(¦0.5_F)of set point.
Supply air temperature is controlled by positioning of
the suction modulation valve (SMV), cycling of the
compressor and cycling of the heaters.
When cooling from a temperature that is more than
2.5_C (4.5_F)abovesetpoint, t he systemwill bein the
perishable pull down mode. It will be in economized
operation with a target S MV position of 100% open.
However, pressure and current limit functions may
restrict the valve, if either exceeds the preset value.
Once set point is reached, the unit will transition to the
perishable steady state mode. This results in unloaded
operationwith some restriction of the SMV. The SMV
will continue to close and restrict refrigerant flow until
the capacity of the unit and the load are balanced.
If the SMV is at minimum modulation, the controller
has determined that cooling is not required, or the
controllerlogicdeterminessuctionpressureisatthelow
pressure limit, the unit will transition to the perishable
idle mode. The compressor is turned off and the
evaporator fans continue to run to circulate air
throughout the container.If temperaturerises above set
point +0.2_C, the unit will transition back to the
perishable steady state mode
If the temperature drops to 0.5_C (0.9_F) below set
point, t he unit will transition to the perishable heating
3-4T -309
mode and the heaters will be energized . The unit will
transition back to the perishable idle mode when the
temperaturerises to 0.2_C (0.4_F) below the set point
and the heaters will de-energize
3.3.7 Perishable Mode -- Economy
Theeconomy mode is an extensionof the conventional
mode. The mode is activated when the setting of
function code Cd34 is “ON”. Economy mode is
provided for power saving purposes. Economy mode
could be utilized in the transportation of temperature
tolerant cargo or non-respiration items which do not
require high airflow for removing respiration heat.
Thereisno active display indicatorthateconomy mode
has been activated. To check for economy mode,
perform a manual display of code Cd34.
In order to achieve economy mode, a perishable set
point must be selected prior to activation. When
economy mode is active, the evaporator fans will be
controlled as follows:
At the start of each cooling or heating cycle, the
evaporator fans will be run in high speed for three
minutes. They will then be switched to low speed any
time the supply air temperature is within ¦ 0.25_C
(0.45_F)ofthesetpointandthereturnairtemperatureis
less than or equal to the supply air temperature + 3_C
(5.4_F). The fans will continue to run in low speed for
onehour.Attheendofthehour,theevaporatorfanswill
switchbackto highspeedandthecyclewillberepeated.
Ifbulb mode is active, theeconomy fanactivity will be
overwritten.
3.3.8 Perishable Mode -- Dehumidification
The dehumidification mode is provided to reduce the
humidity levels inside the container. The mode is
activated when a humidity value is set at at function
codeCd33. The display moduleSUPPLY led will flash
ON and OFF every second to indicate that the
dehumidification mode is active. Once the Mode is
active and the following conditions are satisfied, the
controller will activate the heat relay to begin
dehumidification.
1. The humidity sensor reading is above the set point.
2. The unit is in the perishable steady state mode and
supply air temperatureis less than 0.25_C aboveset
point.
Ifthe aboveconditions aretrue theevaporatorfanswill
switch from high to low speed operation. The
evaporatorfanspeedwillswitcheveryhourthereafteras
long as all conditions are met (see Bulb Mode section
for different evaporator fan speed options). If any
condition except for item (1) becomes false OR if the
relativehumiditysensedis2%belowthe
dehumidification set point, the high speed evaporator
fans will be energized.
In the dehumidification mode power is applied to the
defrost and drain pan heaters. This added heat load
causes the controller t o open the suction modulating
valve to match the increased heat load while still
holding the supply air temperature very close to the set
point.
Opening t he modulating valve reduces the temperature
oftheevaporatorcoil surface,whichincreasestherateat
which water is condensed from the passing air.
Removing water from the air reduces the relative
humidity. When the relative humidity sensed is 2%
belowtheset point , the controllerde-energizestheheat
relay. The controller will continue to cycle heating to
maintainrelativehumiditybelowtheselectedsetpoint.
If the mode is terminated by a condition other than the
humidity sensor, e.g., an out-of-range or compressor
shutdown condition, the heat relay is de-energized
immediately.
Two timers are activatedin the dehumidificationmode
toprevent rapid cycling and consequent contactorwear.
They are:
1. Heater debounce timer (three minutes).
2. Out-of-range timer (five minutes).
The heater debounce timer is started whenever the
heater contactor status is changed. The heat contactor
remains energized (or de-energized) for at least three
minutes even if the set point criteria are satisfied.
The out-of-range timer is started to maintain heater
operationduring atemporary out-of-rangecondition.If
the supply air temperature remains outside of the user
selectedin-rangesettingformorethanfiveminutes,the
heaters will be de-energized to allow the system to
recover. The out-of-range timer starts as soon as the
temperature exceeds thein-range tolerancevalue set by
function code Cd30.
3.3.9 Perishable, Dehumidification -- Bulb Mode
Bulb mode is an extension of the dehumidification
modewhichallows changes to theevaporatorfanspeed
and/or defrost termination set points.
Bulb mode is active when configuration code Cd35 is
set to “Bulb”. Once thebulbmode is activated, theuser
maythenchangethedehumidificationmodeevaporator
fan operation from the default (speed alternates from
low tohigh each hour) toconstant low or constant high
speed. This is done by toggling function code Cd36
fromitsdefaultof“alt”to“Lo”or“Hi”asdesired.Iflow
speedevaporatorfan operationis selected,thisgivesthe
usertheadditionalcapabilityofselecting
dehumidificationset points from 60 to 95% (instead of
the normal 65 to 95%).
In addition, if bulb mode is active, function codeCd37
may be set to override the previous defrost termination
thermostat settings. (Refer to paragraph 4.9.5.) The
temperatureatwhichthedefrostterminationthermostat
will be considered “open” may be changed [in 0.1_C
(0.2_F) increments] to any value between 25.6_C
(78_F)and4_C(39.2_F).Thetemperatureatwhichthe
defrosttermination thermostat is considered closed for
interval timer start or demand defrost is 10_Cfor
“open” values from 25.6_C(78_F) down to a 10_C
setting. For “open” values lower than 10_C, the
“closed” values will decrease to the same value as the
“open” setting. Bulb mode is terminated when:

T-309
1. Bulb mode code Cd35 is set to “Nor.”
2. Dehumidification code Cd33 is set to “Off.”
3. The user changes the set point to one
that is in the frozen range.
When bulb m ode is disabled by any of the above, the
evaporatorfanoperationfordehumidificationrevertsto
“alt”andtheDTS terminationsettingresetstothevalue
determinedbycontrollerconfigurationvariableCnF41.
3.3.10 Temperature Control -- Frozen Mode
With configuration variable CnF26 (Heat Lockout
Temperature)setto--10_Cthefrozenmodeofoperation
is active with set points at or below --10_C(+14_F).
Withthe variableset to --5_C,the frozenmodeis active
at or below --5_C(+23_F).
When in the frozen mode the controller maintains the
return air temperature at set point, the RETURN
indicatorlightwillbeilluminatedonthedisplaymodule
and the default reading on the display window will be
the return air probe reading.
When the return air temperature enters the in-range
temperature tolerance as selected at function code
Cd30, the in-range light will energize.
3.3.11 Frozen Mode -- Conventional
Frozen range cargos are not sensitive to minor
temperature changes. The method of temperature
control employed in this range takes advantage of this
facttogreatlyimprovetheenergyefficiencyof the unit.
Temperaturecontrolinthefrozenrangeisaccomplished
bycyclingthecompressoronandoffastheloaddemand
requires.
When cooling from a temperature that is more than
2.5_C (4.5_F)abovesetpoint, t he systemwill bein the
frozenpull downmode. It will transition to economized
operation with a target S MV position of 100% open.
However, pressure and current limit functions may
restrict the valve, if either exceeds the preset value.
Once set point is reached, the unit will transition to the
frozen steady state mode. (Economized operation with
maximumallowed suctionmodulating valve opening.)
When temperaturedrops to set point minus 0.2_Cand
thecompressorhas run for at least fiveminutes,theunit
will transition to the frozenidle mode. The compressor
is turned off and the evaporator fans continue to run to
circulate air throughout the container. If temperature
rises above set point +0.2_C, the unit will transition
back to the frozen steady state mode.
If the temperature drops 10_Cbelow set point, the unit
will transition t o the frozen “heating” mode. In the
frozenheating mode the evaporator fans are brought to
high speed. The unit will transition back to the frozen
steadystatemodewhenthetemperaturerisesbacktothe
transition point.
3.3.12 Frozen Mode -- Economy
In order to activate economy frozen mode operation, a
frozen set point temperature must be selected. The
economymodeis activewhenfunctioncodeCd34isset
to “ON”. When economy mode frozen is active, the
system will perform normal frozen mode operations
except that the entire refrigeration system, excluding
the controller, will be turned off when the control
temperatureis less than or equal to the set point -- 2_C.
After an off-cycle period of 60 minutes, the unit will
turn on high speed evaporator fans for three minutes,
and then check the control temperature. If the control
temperature is greater than or equal to the set point +
0.2_C., theunit will restarttherefrigerationsystem and
continue to cool until the previously mentioned
off-cycle temperature criteria are met. If the control
temperatureis less than the set point + 0. 2_C, the unit
will turn off the evaporator fans and restart another 60
minute off-cycle.
3.4 CONTROLLER ALARMS
Alarm display is an independent controller software
function. If an operating parameter is outside of
expected range or a components does not return the
correct signals back to the controller an alarm is
generated. A listing of the alarms is provided in
Table 3-6.
The alarm philosophy balances the protection of the
refrigeration unit and that of the refrigerated cargo.The
action taken when an error isdetected alwaysconsiders
thesurvivalof the cargo.Rechecksare made to confirm
that an error actually exists.
Somealarmsrequiringcompressorshutdownhavetime
delaysbeforeand aftertotry t o keep the compressoron
line. An example is alarm code “LO”, (low main
voltage), when a voltage drop of over 25% occurs, an
indication is given on the display, but the unit will
continue to run.
When an Alarm Occurs:
a. The red alarm light will illuminate for alarm code
b. If a detectable problem is found to exist, its alarm
code will be alternately displayed with the set point

3.5. UNIT PRE-TRIP DIAGNOSTICS
Pre--Trip Diagnostics is an independent controller
function which will suspend normal refrigeration
controller activities and provide preprogrammed test
routines. The test routines include Auto Mode testing,
which automatically preforms a pre programmed
sequenced of tests, or Manual Mode testing, which
allows the operator to select and run any of the
individual tests.
CAUTION
Pre-tripinspectionshould not be performed
with critical temperaturecargoes inthe container.
CAUTION
When Pre-Trip keyis pressed, economy, dehumidification and bulb mode will be deactivated.Atthecompletionof Pre-Tripactivity, economy, dehumidification and bulb
mode must be reactivated.
Testing may be initiated by use of the Key Pad or via

keep their DataCORDER configured for USDA
recording,but do not install the probes for everytrip. If
all theprobes aredisconnected, noalarms areactivated.
As soon as one of the probesis installed, then all of the
alarmsareenabledandtheremainingprobesthat arenot
installed will give active alarm indications.
The DataCORDER will record the initiation of a
pre-trip test (refer to paragraph 3.5) and the results of
each of the tests included in pre--trip. The data is
time-stamped and may be extracted via the Data
Retrievalprogram. Refer to Table 3-9 for a description
of the data stored in the DataCORDER for each
corresponding Pre-Trip test.
3.6.8
DataCORDER Power-Up
The DataCORDER may be powered up in any one of
four ways:
1. Normal AC power: The DataCORDER is powered
up when the unit is turned on via the stop-start switch.
2. ControllerDCbatterypackpower:Ifabatterypack
is installed, the DataCORDER will power up for
communicationwhenan interrogationcableis plugged
into an interrogation receptacle.
3. ExternalDC battery pack power: A 12 volt battery
pack may also be plugged into the back of the
interrogation cable, which is then plugged into an
interrogation port. No controller battery pack is
required with this method.
4. Real Time Clock demand: If the DataCORDER is
equipped with a charged battery pack and AC power is
not present, theDataCORDER will powerup whenthe
real time clock indicates that a data recording should
take place. When the DataCORDER is finished
recording, it will power down.
DuringDataCORDERpower-up,whileusing
battery-pack power, the controller will perform a
hardware voltage check on the battery. If the hardware
checkpasses,theController willenergizeand performa
software battery voltage check before DataCORDER
logging. If either test fails, the real time clock battery
power-up will be disabled until the next AC power
cycle. FurtherDataCORDER temperaturelogging will
be prohibited until that time.
An alarm will be generated when the battery voltage
transitions from good to bad indicating that the battery
pack needs recharging. If the alarm condition persists
for more than 24 hours on continuous AC power, the
battery pack needs replacement.
3.6.9 Pre-Trip Data Recording
The DataCORDER will record the initiation of a
pre-trip test (refer to paragraph 3.5) and the results of
each of the tests included in pre--trip. The data is
time-stamped and may be extracted via the Data
Retrievalprogram. Refer to Table 3-9 for a description
of the data stored in the DataCORDER for each
corresponding Pre-Trip test.

3.6.11 USDA Cold Treatment
Exposing infested fruit to temperatures of 2.2 degrees
Celsius (36_F) or below for specific periods results in
the mortality of the various stages of this group of
insects.
In response to the demand to replace fumigation with
this environmentally sound process, Carrier has
integratedColdTreatmentcapabilityintoits
microprocessorsystem. These units have the ability to
maintain supply air temperature within one-quarter
degreeCelsius ofsetpoint and recordminutechangesin
producttemperaturewithintheDataCORDER
memory, thus meeting USDA criteria. Information on
USDA is provided in the following subparagraphs
a. USDA Recording
A special type of recording is used for USDA cold
treatment purposes. Cold treatment recording requires
threeremotetemperatureprobes beplaced atprescribed
locations in the cargo. Provision is made to connect
these probes to the DataCORDER via receptacles
located at therearleft-handside ofthe unit.Four orfive
receptacles areprovided. Thefour three-pinreceptacles
are for the probes. The five pin receptacle is the rear
connection for the Interrogator. The probe receptacles
are sized to accept plugs with tricam coupling locking
devices. A label on the back panel of the unit shows
which receptacle is used for each probe.
Thestandard DataCORDER report displays the supply
and return air temperatures. The cold treatment report
displaysUSDA #1, #2, #3 andthe supplyand returnair
temperatures.Coldtreatment recordingis backed upby
abattery so recordingcan continue if AC power is lost.

high ambient temperatures.
The current sensor measures current draw in lines L1 & L2 by all of the high
voltage components. It also measures current draw in compressor motor leg T3.
The compressor leg T3 current is displayed.
The current sensor measures current on two legs. The third unmeasured leg is calculated based on a current algorithm. The current measured is used for control
and diagnostic purposes. For control processing, the highest of the Phase A and B
current values is used for current limiting purposes. For diagnostic processing,
the current draws are used to monitor component energization.. Whenever a heater or a motor is turned ON or OFF, the current draw increase/reduction for that
activity is measured. The current draw is then tested to determine if it falls within
the expected range of values for the component. Failure of this test will result in a
pre-trip failure or a control alarm indication.
The value of the main power frequency is displayed in Hertz. The frequency displayed will be halved if either fuse F1 or F2 is bad (alarm code AL21).

Configurable Functions
NOTE
Function codes Cd27 through Cd37 are user-selectable functions. The operator can change the value of
these functions to meet the operational needs of the container.
The defrost interval is the time between defrost cycles. Five selectablevalues are
available: 3, 6, 9, 12 or 24 hours. The factory default value is 12 hours. Following a start--up or after termination of a defrost, the time will not begin counting
down until the defrost temperaturesensor (DTS) reading falls below set point. If
the reading of DTS rises above set point any time during the timer count down,
the interval is reset and the countdown begins over. If DTS fails, alarm code
AL60 is activated and control switches over to the the return temperature sensor.
The controller will act in the same manner as with the DTS except the return temperaturesensor reading will be used.
DefrostInterval Timer Value(Configuration variable CnF23): If the softwareis
configured to “SAv” (save) for this option, then the value of the defrost interval
timer will be saved at power down and restored at power up. This option prevents
short power interruptions from resetting an almost expired defrost interval, and
possibly delaying a needed defrost cycle.

and pushing the ENTER key. The factory default value is Celsius units.
NOTE
This function code will display “--- --- --- --- --- “ if Configuration Variable
CnF34 is set to _F.
If all of the control sensors are out of range (alarm code AL26) or there is a probe
circuit calibration failure (alarm code AL27), the unit will enter the shutdown
state defined by this setting. The user selects one of four possible actions as follows:
B -- PartialCooling(Compressoris on,standardoperation.SMVsubjecttopressure
and current limit.)
C -- EvaporatorFanOnly (Compressor is off,evaporator fans on high speed, not ap-
plicable with frozen set points.
D -- Full System Shutdown -- Factory Default (shut down every component in the
unit)
The in-range tolerance will determine the band of temperaturesaround the set
point which will be designated as in-range. If the control temperature is in-range,
the in-range light will be illuminated. There are four possible values:
1=¦ 0.5_C(¦ 0.9_F)
2=¦ 1.0_C(¦ 1.8_F)

display “Nor” and the user will be unable to change it. After a dehumidification
set point has been selected and entered for code Cd33, the user may then change
code Cd35 to “bulb.” After bulb has been selected and entered, the user may then
utilize function codes Cd36 and Cd37 to make the desired changes.
This code is enabled only if in the dehumidification mode (code Cd33) and bulb
mode (Cd35) has been set to “bulb”. If these conditions are not met, “alt” will be
displayed (indicating that the evaporator fans will alternate their speed) and the

other than “alt” has been selected and bulb mode is deactivated in any manner,
then selection reverts back to “alt.”
This code, as with function code Cd36, is used with bulb mode and dehumidification. If bulb mode is active, this code allows the user to change the temperature

Alarm 25 is triggered by the opening of the condenser motor internal protector
and will disable all control units except for the evaporator fans. This alarm will
remain active until the motor protector resets. This alarm triggers failure action
C (evaporator fan only) or D (all machinery off) of Function Code Cd29 if the
unit has a perishable set point. Failure action D (all machinery off) is triggered if
the unit has a frozen set point
Alarm 26 is triggered if the Controller determines that all of the control sensors
are out-of-range. This can occur for box temperatures outside the range of --50_C
to +70_C(--58_F to +158_F). This alarm triggers the failure action code set by
Function Code Cd29.
The Controller has a built-in Analog to Digital (A-D) converter, used to convert
analog readings (i.e. temperature sensors, current sensors, etc.) to digital readings. The Controller continuously performs calibration tests on the A-D converter. If the A-D converter fails to calibrate for 30 consecutive seconds, this
alarm is activated.This alarm will be inactivated as soon as the A-D converter
calibrates.
Alarm 28 is triggered i f suction pressure is below 2 psia and alarm 66 (Suction
Pressure Transducer Failure) is not active. This alarm will be inactivated when
suction pressure rises above 2 psia for three continuous minutes. This alarm triggers failure action C (evaporator fan only) or D (all machinery off) as determined
by User Selectable Failure Response if the unit has a perishable set point; Failure
action D (all machinery off) if the unit has a frozen set point. Reset SMV.
During start-up diagnostics, the EEP ROM is examined to determine validity of
its contents. This is done by testing the set point and the alarm list. If the contents are invalid, Alarm 51 is activated. During control processing, any operation
involving alarm list activity that results in an error will cause Alarm 51 to be activated. Alarm 51 is a “display only” alarm and is not written i nto the alarm list.
Pressing the ENTER key when “CLEAr” is displayed will result in an attempt to
clear the alarm list. If that action is successful (all alarms are inactive), Alarm 51
will be reset.
Alarm 52 is activated whenever the alarm list is determined to be full; at start-up
or after recording an alarm in the list. Alarm 52 is displayed, but is not recorded
in the alarm list. This alarm can be reset by clearing the alarm list. This can be
done only if all alarms written in the list are inactive.
Alarm 53 is caused by the battery pack charge being too low to provide sufficient
power for battery-backed recording. Renew replaceable batteries. If this alarm
occurs on start up, allow a unit fitted with rechargeable batteries to operate for up
to 24 hours to charge rechargeable batteries sufficiently to deactivate the alarm
Alarm 54 is activated by an invalid primary supply temperature sensor reading
that is sensed outside the range of --50 to +70_C(--58_F to +158_F) or if the
probe check logic has determined there is a fault with this sensor. If Alarm 54 is
activated and the primary supply is the control sensor, the secondary supply sensor will be used for control if the unit is so equipped. If the unit does not have a
secondary supply temperature sensor, and AL54 is activated, the primary return
sensor reading, minus 2_C will be used for control.

Alarm 56 is activated by an invalid primary return temperature sensor reading
that is outside the range of --50 to +70_C(--58_F to +158_F). If Alarm 56 is acti-
vated and the primary return is the control sensor, the secondary return sensor
will be used for control if the unit is so equipped. If the unit is not equipped with
a secondary return temperaturesensor or it fails, the primary supply sensor will
be used for control.
NOTE
The P5 Pre-Trip test must be run to inactivate the alarm.
Alarm 57 is triggered by an ambient temperature reading outside the valid range
from --50_C(--58_F) to +70_C (+158_F).
Alarm 58 is triggered when the compressor high discharge pressure safety switch
remains open for at least one minute. This alarm will remain active until the pressure switch resets, at which time the compressor will restart.
Alarm 59 is triggered by the opening of the heat termination thermostat and will
result in the disabling of the heater. This alarm will remain active until the thermostat resets.
Alarm 60 is an indication of a probable failure of the defrost temperature sensor
(DTS). It is triggered by the opening of the heat termination thermostat(HTT) or
the failure of the DTS to go above set point within two hours of defrost initiation. After one-half hour with a frozen range set point, or one-half hour of continuous compressor run time, if the return air falls below 7_C(45_F), the Controller
checks to ensure the DTS reading has dropped to 10_C or below. If not, a DTS
failure alarm is given and the defrost mode is operated using the return temperature sensor. The defrost mode will be terminated after one hour by the C ontroller.
Alarm 61 is triggered by detection of improper amperage resulting from heater
activation or deactivation. Each phase of the power source is checked for proper
amperage.Thisalarm is a display alarm with no resulting failure action, and will
be reset by a proper amp draw of the heater.
Alarm 62 is triggered by improper current draw increase (or decrease) resulting
from compressor turn on (or off). The compressor is expected to draw a minimum of 2 amps; failure to do so will activate the alarm. This is a display alarm
with no associated failure action and will be reset by a proper amp draw of the
compressor.
Alarm 63 is triggered by the current limiting system. If the compressor is ON
and current limiting procedures cannot maintain a current level below the user
selectedlimit, the current limit alarm is activated. This alarm is a display alarm
and is inactivated by power cycling the unit, changing the current limit via the
code select Cd32, or if the current decreases below the activation level.
Alarm 64 is triggered if the discharge temperature sensed is outside the range of
-- 6 0 _C(--76_F) to 175_C (347_F), or if the sensor is out of range. This is a dis-
play alarm and has no associated failure action.
Alarm 65 is triggered if a compressor discharge transducer is out of range. This is
a display alarm and has no associated failure action.
Alarm 66 is triggered if a suction pressure transducer is out of range. This is a
display alarm and has no associated failure action.
Alarm 67 is triggered by a humidity sensor reading outside the valid range of 0%
to 100% relative humidity. If alarm AL67 is triggered when the dehumidification
mode is activated, then the dehumidification mode will be deactivated.
Alarm 69 is triggered by a suction temperaturesensor reading outside the valid
range of --60_C(--76_F) to 150_C (302_F). This is a display alarm and has no
associated failure action.

This test is skipped if the sensed ambient temperature is less than 7_C
(45_F), the return air temperature is less than --17.8_C(0_F), the water
pressure switch is open or the condenser fan switch is open.
Setup: With the unit running, the condenser fan is de-energized, and a 15 minute
timer is started.
Pass/Fail Criteria: The t est fails if high pressure switch fails to open in 15 minutes.
Requirements: Test P7-0 must pass for this test to execute. Setup: The condenser fan is started and a 60 second timer is started.
Pass/Fail Criteria: Passes the test if the high pressure switch (HPS) closes
within the 60 second time limit, otherwise, it fails.
Setup: If the container temperature is below 15.6°C(60_F), the set point is
changed to 15.6°C, and a 180 minute timer is started. The left display will read
“P8-0.” The control will then heat the container until 15.6°C is reached. If the
container t emperature is above 15.6°C at the start of the test, then the test proceeds immediately to test P8-1 and the left display will change to “P8-1.”
Pass/Fail Criteria: The test fails if the 180 minute timer expires before the control temperature reaches set point. The display will read “P8-0,” “FAIL.”
Requirements: Control temperature must be at least 15.6°C(60_F).
Setup: The set point is changed to 0°C(32_F), and a 180 minute timer is
started. The left display will read “P8-1,” the right display will show the supply
air temperature. The unit will then start to pull down the temperature to the 0°C
set point.
Pass/Fail Criteria: The test passes if the container temperature reaches set point
before the 180 minute timer expires.
Requirements: Test P8-1 must pass for this test to execute. This test is skipped
if the DATAcorder is not configured or available.

maintain the temperatureto within + or -- 0.5_C (0.9_F) of set point until a DataCORDER recording is executed. The recordersupply probe temperature running total (and its associated readings counter) will be zeroed out for the remainder of the recording period at the start of this test, so that the actual value
recorded in the DataCORDER will be an average of only this test’s results. Once
a recording interval is complete, the average recorder supply temperature will be
recorded in the DataCORDER, as well as stored in memory for use in applying
the test pass/fail criteria.
Pass/Fail Criteria: If the recorded temperature is within +/-- 0.5_C. of set point
from test start to DataCORDERrecording, the test passes. If the average temperature is outside of the tolerance range at the recording, the test fails and will
auto--repeat by starting P8--0 over.
Setup: The defrost temperature sensor (DTS) reading will be displayed on the
left display. The right display will show the supply air temperature.The unit will
run FULL COOL for 30 minutes maximum until the DTT is considered closed.
Once the DTT is considered closed, the unit simulates defrost by running the
heaters for up to two hours, or until the DTT is considered open.
Pass/Fail Criteria: The test fails if: the DTT is not considered closed after the
30 minutes of full cooling, HTT opens when DTT is considered closed or if return air temperature rises above 49/50_C (120/122_F).

4.8 OBSERVE UNIT OPERATION
4.8.1 Probe Check
IftheDataCORDERisofforin alarmthecontrollerwill
revertto a four probe configuration which includes the
DataCORDER supply and return air probes as the
secondarycontrollerprobes.Thecontroller
continuously performs probe diagnosis testing which
compares the four probes. If the probe diagnosis result
indicates a probe problem exists, the controller will
performa probe check to identify the probe(s) in error.
a. Probe Diagnostic Logic -- Standard
Iftheprobecheckoption(controllerconfigurationcode
CnF31) is configured for standard, the criteria used for
comparisonbetweentheprimaryandsecondarycontrol
probes is:
1_C(1.8_F)forperishableset points or2_C(3.6_F)
for frozen set points.
If25 ormoreof30readingstakenwithina 30minute
periodareoutsideof the limit, thena defrost isinitiated and a probe check is performed.
Inthis configuration, a probecheckwillbe runas a part
of every normal (time initiated) defrost.
b. Probe Diagnostic Logic -- Special
If the probe check option is configured for special the
abovecriteriaareapplicable.Adefrostwithprobecheck
will be initiated if 25 of 30 readings or 10 consecutive
readings are outside of the limits
Inthis configuration, a probe check will not be run asa
part of a normal defrost, but only as a part of a defrost
initiated due to a diagnostic reading outside of the
limits.
c.The30minutetimerwillberesetateachofthefollow-
ing conditions:
4-3
T-309
1. At every power up.
2. At the end of every defrost.
3. After every diagnostic check that does not fall outside of the limits as outlined above.
d. Probe Check
A defrost cycle probe check is accomplished by
energizing just the evaporatormotors for eight minutes
at the end of the normal defrost. At the endof the eight
minute period the probes will be compared to a set of
predeterminedlimits. The defrostindicatorwillremain
on throughout this period.
Any probe(s) determined to be outside the limits will
cause the appropriate alarm code(s) to be displayed to
identify which probe(s) needs to be replaced. The P5
Pre-Trip test must be run to inactivate alarms.

4.9.5 Sequence Of Operation -- Defrost
The defrost cycle may consist of up to three distinct
operations.Thefirst is de-icingofthecoil,the secondis
a probe check cycle and the third is snap freeze.
T-3094-6
Defrost may be initiated by any one of the following
methods:
1. The manual defrost switch (MDS) is closed by the
user.
2. The user sends a defrost command by communica-
tions.
3. The defrost interval timer (controller function code
Cd27) reaches the defrost interval set by the user.
4. The controller probe diagnostic logic determines
thataprobecheckisnecessary basedonthetemperature values currently reported by the supply and return probes.
5. If the controller is programmed with the Demand
Defrostoption (Future) andthe option is set to “IN”
the unit will enterdefrost if it has been in operation
for over 2.5 hours without reaching set point.

COOL light is also de--energized.
The controller then closes TH to supply power to the
heaters. The defrost light is illuminated.
Whenthedefrost temperaturesensorreadingrises tothe

If defrost does not terminate correctly and temperature
reaches the set point of theheat termination thermostat
(HTT) the thermostat will open to de--energize the
heaters.If termination does not occurwithin 2.0 hours,
the controller will terminate defrost. An alarm will be
given of a possible DTS failure.

Defrost may be initiated any time the defrost
temperature sensor reading falls below the controller
defrost termination thermostat set point. Defrost will
terminate when the defrost temperature sensor reading
risesabovethedefrostterminationthermostat set point.
The defrost termination thermostat is not a physical
component. It is a controller setting that acts as a
thermostat, “closing” (allowing defrost) when the
defrosttemperaturesensorreadingisbelowthesetpoint
and“opening”(terminatingorpreventingdefrost)when
thesensortemperaturereadingis aboveset point. When
the unit is operating in bulb mode (refer to paragraph
3.3.9), special settings may be applicable.
If probe check (controller function code CnF31) is
configured to special, the unit will proceed to the next
operation (snapfreeze or terminatedefrost).If thecode
is configuredto standard, the unit will perform a probe
check. The purpose of the probe check is to detect
malfunctions or drift in the sensed temperature that is
too small to be detected by the normal sensor out of
rangetests. Thesystemwillrunforeightminutesinthis
condition.Attheend ofthe eight minutes, probealarms
will be set or cleared based on the conditions seen.
When the return air falls to 7_C(45_F), the controller
checks to ensure the defrost temperature sensor (DTS)
reading has dropped to 10_C or below. If it has not, a
DTS failure alarm is given and the defrost mode is
operated by the return temperature sensor (RTS).
Ifcontrollerfunction codeCnF33 is configured tosnap
freeze, the controller will sequence to this operation.
The snap freeze consists of running the compressor
without the evaporatorfans in operation for a periodof
four minutes with the suction modulation valve fully
open. When the snap freeze is completed, defrost is
formally terminated.

6.2 SERVICE VALVES
Thecompressorsuction,compressordischarge,
compressor economizer, oil return and the liquid line
service valves (see Figure 6-1) are provided with a
double seat and an access valve which enable servicing
of the compressor and refrigerant lines. Turning the
valve stem clockwise (all the way forward) will
frontseat the valve to close off the line connection and
open a path to the access valve. Turning the stem
counterclockwise (all the way out) will backseat the
valveto open the line connection and close offthe path
to the access valve.
With the valve stem midway between frontseat and
backseat,both of the servicevalveconnectionsareopen
to the access valve path.
For example, the valve stem is first fully backseated
whenconnectingamanifoldgaugetomeasurepressure.
Then,the valveis opened1/4 to 1/2 turnto measurethe

6.3. MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
The manifold gauge set (see Figure 6-3) is used to
determine system operating pressure, add refrigerant
charge, and to equalize or evacuate the system.
When the suction pressure hand valve is frontseated
(turnedall the wayin),thesuction(low)pressurecanbe
checked. When the discharge pressure hand valve is
frontseated, the discharge (high) pressure can be
checked.Whenbothvalvesareopen(turned
counter-clockwiseallthe way out),high pressurevapor
will flow into the low side. When the suction pressure
valveis open and the dischargepressurevalveshut, the
6-1
T-309
system can be charged. Oil can also be added to the
system.
A R-134a manifold gauge/hose set with self-sealing
hoses (see Figure 6-4) is required for service of the
models covered within this manual. The manifold
gauge/hose set is available from Carrier Transicold.
(Carrier Transicold P/N 07-00294-00, which includes
items1through6,Figure 6-4.)Toperformserviceusing
the manifold gage/hose set, do the following:
2. Connect the field service coupling (see Figure 6-4)
to the access valve.
3. Turn the field service coupling knob clockwise,
which will open the system to the gauge set.
4. To read system pressures: slightly midseat the service valve.
5. Repeat the proceduretoconnecttheothersideofthe
gauge set.

6.4 PUMPING THE UNIT DOWN
To service the filter-drier, economizer, expansion
valves, moisture-liquid indicator, suction modulation
valve, economizer solenoid valve, unloader solenoid
valve or evaporator coil, pump the refrigerant into the
high side as follows:
CAUTION
The scroll compressor achieves low suction
pressure very quickly. Do not operate the
compressor in a deepvacuum,internaldamage will result.
a. Attach manifoldgauge setto the compressorsuction
and discharge service valves. Referto paragraph 6.3.
b. Start the unit and run in the frozenmode (controller
set below --10°C)for10to15minutes.
c. Check functioncodeCd21 (refertoparagraph3.2.2).
The economizer solenoid valve should be open. If
not, continue to run until the valve opens.
d. Frontseat the oil return service valve then, frontseat
e. Frontseat the economizer service valve and then
frontseat the suction and discharge service valves.
Therefrigerantwillbetrappedbetweenthecompressor suction service valve and the liquid line valve.
f. Before opening up any part of the system, a slight
positivepressure should be indicatedon thepressure
6-2T -309
gauge. If a vacuum is indicated, emit refrigerant by
crackingtheliquidlinevalvemomentarilytobuildup
a slight positive pressure.
g. Whenopeningupthe refrigerantsystem, certainparts
mayfrost.Allowthe parttowarmtoambienttemperature before dismantling. This avoids internal condensation which puts moisture in the system.
h. After repairs have been made, be sure to perform a
refrigerant leak check (refer to paragraph 6.5), and
evacuate and dehydrate the low side (refer to paragraph 6.6).
i. Check refrigerant charge (refer to paragraph 6.7).
6.5 REFRIGERANT LEAK CHECKING
WARNING
Never use air for leak testing. It has been
determined that pressurized, air-rich mixtures of refrigerants and air can undergo
combustion when exposed to an ignition
source.
a. The recommended procedure for finding leaks in a
systemiswithaR-134aelectronicleakdetector.Testingjointswithsoapsudsissatisfactoryonlyforlocating large leaks.
b. If thesystemiswithoutrefrigerant,chargethesystem
with refrigerant 134a to build up pressure between
2.1to 3.5 kg/cm@(30to50 psig).Toensurecomplete
pressurization of the system, refrigerant should be
charged at the compressor suction and economizer
servicevalvesandtheliquid line servicevalve.Also,
the area between the suction modulating valve and
evaporatorexpansionvalvemaynot be open to these
chargingpoints. Pressurebetween these components
maybechecked at thelow sideaccess valve(item 11,
Figure 2-2) or by checking that the suction modulating valve is more than 10% open at controller function code Cd01. The suction modulating valve may
beopenedbyuseofthecontrollerfunctioncodeCd41
valve override control (refer to paragraph 6.19). Removerefrigerantcylinder and leak-checkallconnections.
6.6 EVACUATION AND DEHYDRATION
6.6.1 General
Moisture is the deadly enemy of refrigerationsystems.
The presence of moisture in a refrigerationsystem can
have many undesirable effects. The most common are
copper plating,acid sludge formation,“freezing-up” of
meteringdevicesby freewater,and formation of acids,
resulting in metal corrosion.
6.6.2 Preparation
a. Evacuate and dehydrate only afterpressure leaktest.
(Refer to paragraph 6.5.)
b. Essential tools to properly evacuate and dehydrate
anysystem include avacuum pump(8 m
3
/hr= 5cfm
volume displacement) and an electronic vacuum
gauge. (The pump is available from Carrier Transicold, P/N 07-00176-11.)
c. If possible, keep the ambient temperature above
15.6_C(60_F) to speed evaporation of moisture. If
the ambient temperature is lower than 15.6_C
(60_F), ice might form before moisture removal is
complete.Heatlampsoralternatesourcesofheatmay
be used to raise the system temperature.
d. Additional timemaybesavedduringacompletesys-
tem pump down by replaceing the filter-drier with a
sectionof coppertubing and the appropriatefittings.
Installation of a new drier may be performedduring

6.18 EVAPORATOR FAN MOTOR CAPACITORS
The evaporator fan motors are of the permanent-split
capacitor type. The motor is equipped with one
capacitor used in the high speed circuit and another
capacitor used for the low speed circuit.
6.18.1 When To Check For A Defective Capacitor
a. Fan motor willnot changespeed.Forexample:in the
conventionalperishablemode,themotorsshouldrun
in high speed. In the economy perishable mode they
shouldswitchspeedsand in the frozenmode,themotors should run in low speed.
NOTE
The evaporator fan motors will always start in
high speed.
b. Motor running in wrong direction (after checking
for correct wiring application).
c.Motor will not start, and IP-EM’s are not open.
6.18.2 Removing The Capacitor
WARNING
Make sure power to the unit is OFF and
power plug disconnected before removing
capacitor(s).
The capacitors are located on the motor and above the
evaporator fan deck they may be removed by two
methods:
1 If container is empty, open upper rear panel of the
unit. Thecapacitormaybeservicedafterdisconnecting power plug.
2 If container is full, turn the unit power OFF anddis-
connect power plug. Remove the evaporator fan
motor access panel. (See see Figure 2-1). For
removal of theevaporator fanassembly,refer to section 6.17.
If the capacitor is suspected of malfunction, you may
choosetosimplyreplaceit. Direct replacementrequires
a capacitor of the same value. Two methods for
checking capacitor function are:
1. Volt-ohmmeter set on RX 10,000 ohms.
Connect ohmmeter leads across the capacitorterminals
and observe the meter needle. If the capacitor is good,
the needle will make a rapid swing toward zero
resistance and thengradually swing back toward a very
high resistance reading.
If the capacitor has failed open, the ohmmeter needle
will not move when the meter probes touch the
terminals. If the capacitor is shorted, the needle will
swing to zero resistance position and stay there.
2. Capacitor analyzer:
The function of the analyzer is to read the microfarad
valueof acapacitorand to detect insulation breakdown
6-12T-309
under load conditions. The important advantages of a
(py
)
(g)
(qg
,
analyzer are its ability to locate capacitors that have
failedto hold their microfaradratings, or those that are
breaking down internally during operation. It is also
useful in identifying capacitors when their microfarad
rating marks have become unreadable.

6.20.1 Precheck Procedure
a. Check unit for abnormal operation.
b. Check charge. If refrigerant is low repair as required
and again check operation.
c. If sufficient capacity cannot be maintained or unit is
tripping excessively on high pressure switch (HPS)
in high ambients, check coils and clean if required.
d. If capacity or control cannot be maintained turn unit
OFF, then back ON. This will reset the valve in the
event the controller lost communication with the
valve, and may correct the problem.
NOTE
Carefully listen to the valve. During reset, the
valve will make a ratcheting noise that may be
heard or felt as it is attempting to close. If this
canbeheard or felt, itindicates that thecontrolleranddrivemoduleareattemptingtoclosethe
valve, and may serve as aquick indication t hat
the drive is in working order.
e. Operation ofthe valvemaybechecked usingthecon-
troller valve override program, function code Cd41.
Refer to paragraph 6.19 for valve override test instructions.
6.20.2 Checking The Stepper valve
a. Checking with ohmmeter
Disconnect the four pin connector to the stepper SMV.
With a reliable digital ohmmeter, check the winding
resistance.In normalambient,the valveshould have72
to 84 ohms measured on the red/green (a-b terminals)
and on the white/black (c-d terminals) leads. If an
infinite or zero reading occurs, check connections and
replacethe m otor.
b. CheckingwithSMA-12 portablestepper drive tester
The SMA-12 portable s tepper drive tester (Carrier
Transicold P/N 07-00375-00) is a battery operated
stepperdrivewhichwillopenandclosetheSMV, which
allows a more thorough check of the operating
mechanism.
2. Set the SMA-12pulse per second(PPS)to onePPS
and either open or close valve. Each LED should
lightsequentiallyuntilallfourarelit.AnyLEDfail-
ing to light indicatesanopen on that legwhich indicatesa poor connectionoranopen coil. Repair or replace as required to achieve proper operation.
CAUTION
The scroll compressor achieves low suction
pressure very quickly. Do not operate the
compressor in a deepvacuum,internaldamage will result.
3. Restart unit, set the steprateto200PPS onSMA-12
forthevalve,andclosesteppervalvewhilewatching
the suction gauge. Within one minute t he suction
pressurewillgointo avacuum.This is anindication
that the valve is moving.
4. If no change in suction pressure is detected, check
for resistance (refer to step 6.20.2), and check connectionsforpropercontinuityandretest.Ifthevalve
is functioning and all connections and motor resistance are good, check the controller and expansion
module.
CAUTION

1. Disconnect all front wire harness connectors and
move wiring out of way.
2 The lower controller mounting is slotted, loosen the
Tocheck a sensor reading, do the following:
a. Removethesensorandplacein a0_C(32_F)ice-wa-
ter bath. The ice-water bath is preparedby filling an
insulated container (of sufficient size to completely
immersebulb)withicecubesor chippedice,thenfilling voids between ice with water and agitating until
mixture reaches 0_C(32_F) measured on a labora-
tory thermometer.
b. Start unit and check sensor reading on the control
panel.Thereadingshould be0_C(32_F).Ifthe read-
ing is correct, reinstall sensor; if it is not, continue
with the following.
c. Turn unit OF F and disconnect power supply.

6.23 MAINTENANCE OF PAINTED SURFACES
The refrigeration unit is protected by a special paint
system against the corrosive atmosphere in which it
normallyoperates.However,should thepaint systembe
damaged, thebase metalcancorrode. Inorder toprotect
the refrigeration unit from the highly corrosive sea
atmosphere, or if the protective paint system is
scratched or damaged, clean area to bare metal using a
wirebrush,emerypaperorequivalentcleaningmethod.
Immediately following cleaning, apply 2--part epoxy
paint to the area. and allow to dry. After the first coat
dries, apply a second coat.

a. The surface must be cleanand dry.Roughen the sur-
face with sandpaper to ensure a good bond.
b. Cut the fiberglass cloth to allow a 25mm (1--inch)
overlap around the area to be repaired.
c. Stretch and position the cloth over the area to be re-
paired and secureit with masking tape.
d. Make up sufficient epoxy glue to cover the cloth by
mixingequalpartsofresin andhardener.Saturatethe
cloth with the epoxy glue, spreading evenly.
e. Remove the tape and overlap the edge of the cloth
approximately 6 to 12 mm (1/4” to 1/2”) with glue.
f. Epoxy will dry in 45--60 minutes. When completely
cured (12 hours), use sandpaper to smooth edges of
the patch.
6.24.3 Chips And Holes
Chips and holes in the control box are repaired using a
piece of aluminum or stainless steel to cover the
damagedarea.Thematerialcanbecuttosuitandriveted

repairwatertight.Theadhesivesealant(Sikaflex221)is
included in Crack Repair Kit Carrier Transicold part
number76-00724-00SV(seeTable6-3).Do notuseanacetone based silicone sealant (Which can be
identified by a vinegar--like odor).
The damaged insert must be removed from the control
box. Table 6-5 identifiesthe drill size and drill depthto
beusedforeachinsert.Astopringshould beusedonthe
drill bit to limit the depth.
a. Center the drill bit on the insert and drill to the pre-
scribed depth.
b. Remove the chips from the drilled hole.
c. Mix t he two component epoxy and fill the hole 1/2
way to the top with epoxy.
d. Press the insert in until it is flush with the surface.
e. Wipe away any excess epoxy. The part is ready for
service after the bond material has hardened and is
tack free (approximately 20 minutes)

c. Apply theadhesive sealant around the damagedarea
to form a s eal between the control box and the patch
piece.
d. Rivet the patch piece in place.
e. File smooth any rough edges (including rivets) that
may come into contact with wires.
6.24.4 Inserts
The threaded brass inserts that are molded into the
control box will need to be replaced if the threads
become stripped, or if the insert becomes loose. The
inserts and epoxy are contained in repair kit, Carrier
Transicold part number 76-50084-00 (see Table 6-4).
There are 6 different inserts used in the control box.
Refer to Figure 6-24 for the locations of the various
inserts.
