Safety Precautions
Thermo King recommends t hat servicing be done only by a
Thermo King dealer. However, you should be aware of several
safety practices. This chapter gives basic safety precautions for
working with Thermo King units and describes the safety
stickers on your unit that you should be familiar with.
General Safety Practices
DANGER: NEVER operate the unit with the
compressor discharge valve closed. Doing so could
cause the compressor to explode, causing death or
serious injury.
WARNING: Always wear goggles or safety glasses
when working with or around the refrigeration system
or battery. Refrigerant or battery acid can cause
permanent damage if it comes in contact with your
eyes.
WARNING: Keep hands and loose clothing clear of
fans and belts at all times when the unit is operating
or when opening or closing compressor service
valves.
WARNING: Exposed coil fins can cause painful
lacerations. Service work on the evaporator or
condenser coils should be done by a certified Thermo
King technician.
WARNING: Do not apply heat to a closed cooling
system. Before applying heat to a cooling system,
drain it. Then flush it with water an d dr ai n t h e wa ter.
Antifreeze contains water and ethylene glycol. The
ethylene glycol is flammable and can ignite if the
antifreeze is heated enough to boil off the water.

Diesel Engine
The unit uses a quiet running TK486V (Tier 2), which is a
4-cylinder, water cooled, direct injection diesel engine. The
engine is coupled directly to the compressor. Belts transmit
power to the unit fans, alternator and water pump.
Figure 7: T K486 V (Tier 2)
ELC (Extended Life Coolant)
ELC (Extended Life Coolant) is standard equipment. The
maintenance interval for ELC is five years or 12,000 hours. A
nameplate on the coolant expansion tank identifies units with
ELC (see “Safety Decals and Locations”). The new engine
coolant, Chevron Extended Life Coolant, is RED in color
instead of the previous GREEN or BLUE-GREEN colored
conventional coolants.
NOTE: The use of 50/50% pre-mixed ELC is recommended
to assure that de-ionized water is being used. If 100% full
strength concentrate is used, de-ionized or distilled water is
recommended instead of tap water to insure the integrity of
the cooling system is maintained.
CAUTION: Do not add “GREEN” or
“BLUE-GREEN” conventional coolant to cooling
systems using “RED” Extended Life Coolant, except
in an emergency. If conventional coolant is added to
Extended Life Coolant, the coolant must be changed
after 2 years instead of 5 years.

Unit Description
26
Depending on the air temperature in the trailer sensed by the
TG-VI Microprocessor Controller, the unit will operate in one
of the following modes:
In Continuous Run Operation Mode:
• High Speed Co ol
• Low Speed Cool
• Low Speed Heat
• High Speed Heat
•Defrost.
In CYCLE-SENTRY Operation Mode:
• High Speed Cool
• Low Speed Cool
• Null (Engine Off)
• Low Speed Heat
• High Speed Heat
•Defrost.
Generally, the unit will operate in low speed switching back
and forth from cooling to heating as necessary, thus controlling
the temperature in the trailer.
On very hot days, with the setpoint at a low temperature, the
unit may cycle between high speed cool and low speed cool
without switching into a heating cycle.
On very cold days, the unit may cycle between high speed heat
and low speed heat. The unit may switch into cooling for short
periods of time.
CAUTION: Firmly close the controller access door
after operating the microprocessor controller or
before starting a trip. The control panel might be
damaged in transit if the door is not firmly closed.

CYCLE-SENTRY Start-Stop Controls
The CYCLE-SENTRY Start-Stop fuel saving system provides
optimum operating economy.
CYCLE-SENTRY automatically starts the unit on
microprocessor demand, and shuts down the unit when all
demands are satisfied.
The system automatically monitors and maintains
compartment temperatures, the engine block temperature and
battery charge levels at a point where quick, easy starts are
possible.
Defrost
Frost gradually builds-up on evaporator coils as a result o f
normal operation. The unit uses hot refrigerant to defrost the
evaporator coils. Hot refrigerant gas passes through the
evaporator coil and melts the frost. The water flows through
collection drain tubes onto the ground. The methods of defrost
initiation are Manual and Automatic.
Automatic Defrost: The controller is programmed to
automatically initiate timed or demand defrost cycles. Defrost
intervals are set at the factory at 2, 4 6, 8, 10, or 12 hours. The
unit can enter a demand defrost cycle as often as every 30
minutes if required.
Manual Defrost: The operator manually initiates a defrost
cycle.
NOTE: The unit will not perform a Manual Defrost cycle
unless the O
N/OFF switch is set to ON, the unit is running in
Continuous or CYCLE -SENTRY mode, (or shut down in
CYCLE-SENTRY Null mode), and the coil temperature is
below 45 F (7.2 C).
WARNING: Set the unit ON/OFF switch to OFF
before opening doors or inspecting any part of the
unit. With the unit O
N/OFF switch in the ON position,
the unit may start at any time without warnin g.

DAS (Optional)
The DAS (Data Acquisition System) is an independent data
logger that logs information from dedicated external DAS
sensors and inputs. The DAS features (up to six) directly
connected sensors. The DAS is also connected through a serial
port to the unit microprocessor. Sensor readings can be viewed
on the microprocessor keyboard panel using the S
ELECT key.
See “Figure 8: Control and Switch Panels,” on page 25. The
DAS allows unit operating information, operating events,
alarm codes and compartment temperatures to be logged as
well. The data can be retrieved using an IBM
®
PC compatible
laptop or desktop comp uter and Thermo King WinTrac 4.1 (or
higher) software. The computer is connected to the computer
port on the front of t he control box . See “Figur e 8: Control and
Switch Panels,” on pag e 25. Detaile d graph or ta ble trip repo rts
can then be created.
A hand-held printer can be connected to the printe r por t on th e
front of the control box to print out the DAS sensor readings.
Refer to the DAS Data Acquisition System Manual TK 50565
for more information.
