CAUTION
Under no circumstances should anyone attempt to repair the Logic or Display
Boards. Should a problem develop with these component, contact your nearest
Carrier Transicold dealer for replacement.
Under no circumstances should a technician electrically probe the processor at any point, other
than the connector terminals where the harness attaches. Microprocessor components operate at
different voltage levels and at extremely low current levels. Improper use of voltmeters, jumper
wires, continuity testers, etc. could permanently damage the processor.
Most electronic components are susceptible to damage caused by electrical static discharge
(ESD). In certain cases, the human body can have enough static electricity to cause resultant
damage to the components by touch. This is especially true of the integrated circuits found on the
truck/trailer microprocessor.
3.1.Warning stickers maintenance
a. Keep the warning pictograms clean and without any obstruction material.
b. Clean the pictograms with water and soap and wipe them with soft fabric.
c. Replace damaged or missing pictograms with new pictograms available in Carrier network.
d. If a component having a pictogram is replaced by a new one, be sure that the new component has the
right pictogram.
e. Place a warning pictogram by applying it on a dry surface. Press to external sides to eliminate air bubbles.
4.PRODUCT LOADING
Proper air circulation in the insulated box, air that can move around and through the load, is a critical element
in maintaining product quality during transport. If air cannot circulate completely around the load, hot spots or
top-- freeze can occur.
The use of pallets is highly recommended. Pallets, when loaded so air can flow freely through the pallets to
return to the evaporator, help protect the product from heat passing through the floor of the truck. When using
pallets, it is important to refrain from stacking extra boxes on the floor at the rear of the truck, because this will
cut off the airflow.
Product stacking is another important factor in protecting the product. Products that generate heat, fruits and
vegetables for example, should be stacked so the air can flow through the product to remove the heat; this
is called “air stacking” the product. Products that do not create heat, meats and frozen products, should be
stacked tightly in the center of the box. All products should be kept away from the sidewalls of the body, allowing air to flow between the body and the load; this prevents heat filtering through the walls from affecting the
product.
It is important to check the temperature of the product being loaded to ensure that it is at the correct
temperature for transport. The refrigeration unit is designed to maintain the temperature of the product at the
temperature at which it was loaded; it was not designed to cool a warm product.

SOME ADVICE
Before loading
D Pre-- cool the inside of the insulated body by lowering the temperature for about 15 minutes.
D Evacuate the humidity existing inside the box by carrying out a manual defrost. This can only take place
when enabled by the defrost thermostat (box temperature lower than 3_C.
D Evaporator fans are protected by safety grills. In the event of heavy duty use of the unit, ice can accumulate
on the grills. It is therefore recommended to clean them regularly by means of a small brush. The operation
MUST be done when the unit has been SHUT DOWN.
When loading
D To be carried out with the unit stopped.
D It is recommended to open doors as little as possible to avoid the intake of hot air and humidity.
D Select the temperature by means of the thermostat, according to the transported goods.
D Check the internal temperature of the goods being loaded (using a probe thermometer).
D Take care not to obstruct the air intakes on
the evaporator section and the ventilation
Load spacers
Load on pallets
ducts.
D Leave a free space of about :
- 6 to 8 cm between load and frontwall,
- 20 cm between the top of the load and the
roof,
- between the floor and the load (gratings,
pallets).
D Do not forget to close the doors.
D Before closing the doors, check your load once more and see that nobody is shut inside the box.
NOTE :
For stationnary utilization, we recommend
to place the body in the shade.

7.1.Operating principle
After starting up, the refrigeration unit by pressing the ON (9.) key, unit start--up and shut--down are automatic.
7.1.1. In ROAD mode
An open-- type compressor is driven by the engine of the vehicle. The vehicle battery (alternator) powers the
evaporator and condenser fans. The unit automatically shuts down when the engine is switched off with the
ignition key.
7.1.2. In STANDBY mode
A standby compressor is energized, and a transformer is used to power the evaporator and condenser fans.
The power network connection is detected by the Cab Command which automatically starts up the unit in
Standby mode.
If the ignition key is switched on while the unit is connected to the power network, or vice--versa, the Cab
Command triggers a visual alarm, in the form of a flashing red malfunction light and readout.

a buzzer alarm is available on the unit.
In all cases the unit can be completely shut down manually by pressing the OFF key on the Cab Command.
7.1.3. Temperature control
As soon as the set--point temperature has been reached, temperature control is obtained by the start--up and
shut--down of the standby compressor. On road mode, this shut-down is done by the road compressor
electro-magnetic clutch.
The condenser and evaporator fans cut out during regulation. When transporting fragile loads such as fresh
meat, vegetables and cheese, it is possible to program the microprocessor to obtain continuous ventilation
by the evaporator during regulation.
7.1.4. Defrost
- Defrost operation is fully automatic but can be manually controlled if enabled by the defrost
thermostat.
- Defrost cycles are fully controlled by the integrated microprocessor.
