Do not bypass any electrical safety devices, e.g. bridging an overload, or using any sort of jumper wires. Problems
with the system should be diagnosed, and any necessary repairs performed, by qualified service personnel.
Whenperforminganyarcweldingontheunitorcontainer,disconnectallwireharnessconnectorsfromthemodulesin
both control boxes. Do not remove wire harness from the modules unlessyou are grounded to the unit frame with a
static safe wrist strap.
In case of electrical fire, open circuit switch and extinguish with CO2(never use water).
UNIT LABEL IDENTIFICATION
To help identify the label hazards on the unit and explain the level of awareness each one carries, an explanation is
given with the appropriate consequences:
DANGER -- means an immediate hazard which WILL result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING -- means to warn against hazards or unsafe conditions which COULD result in severe personal injury or
death.
CAUTION -- means to warn against potential hazard or unsafe practice which could result in minor personal injury,

SPECIFIC WARNING AND CAUTION STATEMENTS
The statements listed below are applicable to the refrigeration unit and appear elsewhere in this manual. These
recommended precautions must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance of the equipment
covered herein. WARNING
Beware of unannounced starting of the evaporator and condenser fans. The unit may cycle the fans
and compressor unexpectedly as control requirements dictate.
WARNING
Do not attempt to removepower plug(s)beforeturning OFF start-stop switch (ST), unit circuitbreak-
er(s) and external power source.
WARNING
Make sure the power plugs are clean and dry before connecting to any power receptacle.
Safety-2
T-309
WARNING
Make sure thatthe unit circuit breaker(s) (CB-1 & CB-2) and the START-STOP switch (ST) are in the
“O” (OFF) position before connecting to any electrical power source.
WARNING
Never use air for leak testing. It has been determined that pressurized, mixtures of refrigerant and air
can undergo combustion when exposed to an ignition source.
WARNING
Make sure power to the unit is OFF and power plug disconnected before replacing the compressor.
WARNING
Before disassembly of the compressor make sure to relieve the internal pressure very carefully by
slightly loosening the couplings to break the seal.
WARNING
Oakite No. 32 is an acid. Be sure that the acid is slowly added to the water. DO NOT PUT WATER
INTO THE ACID -- this will cause spattering and excessive heat.
WARNING
Wear rubber gloves and wash the solution from the skin immediately if accidental contact occurs. Do
not allow the solution to splash onto concrete.
WARNING
Always turn OFFthe unitcircuit breakers (CB-1 & CB-2) and disconnect main power supplybefore
working on moving parts.
WARNING
Make sure power to the unit is OFF and power plug disconnected before removing capacitor(s).
WARNING
With power OFF discharge the capacitor before disconnecting the circuit wiring.
WARNING
Do not use a nitrogen cylinder without a pressure regulator. Do not use oxygen in or near a refrigera-
tion system as an explosion may occur.
WARNING
Do not open the condenser fan grille before turning power OFF and disconnecting power plug.
WARNING
The Unit Power Plug Must Be Disconnected To Remove Power From Circuit Breaker Cb1
CAUTION
Donotremovewireharnesses fromcontrollermodulesunlessyouaregroundedtotheunitframewith
a static safe wrist strap.
CAUTION

container.
CAUTION
When condenser water flow is below 11 lpm (3 gpm) or when water-cooled operation is not in use, the
CFS switch MUST be set to position ”1” or the unit will not operate properly.
CAUTION
Pre-trip inspection should not be performed with critical temperature cargoes in the container.

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 removedfrom therefrigerant and stored
forreturntothecompressorwhentheoilreturnsolenoid
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 condensershell. Thewater flowinginside
thetubing coolsthe gas to 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 refrigerant continues through the liquid line
service valve, the filter-drier (which keeps refrigerant
clean and dry) and the economizer (which is not active
during standard operation) tothe 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
through the suction modulation valve to 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
below the switch cut out setting, the condenser fan will
be automatically started. When operating a system
fitted with a condenser fan switch, the condenser fan
willbeoffwhentheswitchisplacedinthe“O”position.
The condenser fan will be on when the switch 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).Theflowisactivatedwhen
the controller energizes the economizer solenoidvalve.
The liquid refrigerant flows through the economizer
expansion valve and the economizer internal passages
absorbingheatfromtheliquidrefrigerantflowingtothe
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 refrigerant through
the main refrigerant system is identical to the standard
mode. (The economizer solenoid valve is de--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
loadandpreventsoperationwithlowcoiltemperatures.
In this mode of operation, the liquid injection solenoid
valve will open as required to provide sufficient liquid
refrigerant flow into the suction line for cooling of the
compressor motor.

3.2.1 Configuration Software (Configuration Vari-
ables)
The Configuration Software is a variable listing of the
components available for use by the Operational
Software. This software is factory installed in
accordancewiththeequipment fitted and options listed
on the original purchase order. Changes to the
Configuration Software are required only when a new
controller hase been installed or a physical change has
beenmadetotheunitsuchastheadditionorremovalof
an option. A Configuration Variable list is provided in
Table 3-4. Change to the factory installed
Configuration Software is achieved via a configuration
card or communications.
3-4T-309
3.2.2 Operational Software (Function codes)
The Operational Software is the actual operation
programming of the controller which activates or
deactivatescomponentsinaccordancewithcurrentunit
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 Table 3-5.
To access 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 dis-
play 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,thesettingsofthethe
configuration variables and the function code
assignments. The action taken 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
of the controller interaction and modes ofoperation are
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 is 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.Itmayalso
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
continued operation in the event the control sensorsare
reading out 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 Pres-
sure Protection.
The controller monitors compressor suction and
discharge temperatures and pressures. If the discharge
temperature exceeds a 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
the discharge temperature sufficiently and the
temperature exceeds the allowed limit, the compressor
will cycleoff ona 3 minute timer. The compressor will
alsocycleoffinasimilarmannerifthesuctionpressure
fallsbelowtheallowedlimit.Condenserandevaporator
fans continue to operate during the compressor off
cycle.
3.3.6 Perishable Mode -- Conventional
The unit is capable of maintaining supply air
temperatureto within ¦0.25_C(¦0.5_F) ofset 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,thesystemwillbe in the
perishable pull down mode. It will be in economized
operation with a target SMV 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
operation with some restriction of the SMV. TheSMV
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 temperature rises 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, the unit will transition to the perishable heating
3-5 T-309
mode and the heaters will be energized . The unit will
transition back to the perishable idle mode when the
temperature rises to 0.2_C (0.4_F) below the set point
and the heaters will de-energize
3.3.7 Perishable Mode -- Economy
The economy mode is an extension oftheconventional
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.
Thereis noactivedisplayindicatorthat economymode
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
switchbacktohighspeedandthecyclewillberepeated.
If bulb modeis active, the economy fan activity 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
code Cd33.The displaymodule SUPPLYled willflash
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 airtemperature isless than 0.25_C aboveset
point.
3. Theheaterdebouncetimer(threeminutes)hastimed
out.
4. Heater termination thermostat (HTT) is closed.
If theaboveconditions are truetheevaporator fans will
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
relative humidity sensed is 2% below the
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 to open the suction modulating
valve to match the increased heat load while still
holding the supply airtemperaturevery closeto the set
point.
Opening the modulating valvereduces the temperature
oftheevaporatorcoilsurface,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%
belowthesetpoint, thecontrollerde-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 activated in the dehumidificationmode
toprevent rapidcyclingandconsequent 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 atemporaryout-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 tolerance value set by
function code Cd30.
3.3.9 Perishable, Dehumidification -- Bulb Mode
Bulb mode is an extension of the dehumidification
modewhichallowschangestotheevaporatorfanspeed
and/or defrost termination set points.
Bulb mode is active when configuration code Cd35 is
set to “Bulb”. Once the bulb mode is activated, the user
maythenchangethedehumidificationmodeevaporator
fan operation from the default (speed alternates from
low to high each hour) to constant low or constant high
speed. This is done by toggling function code Cd36
fromitsdefaultof“alt”to“Lo”or“Hi”asdesired.Iflow
speedevaporatorfanoperationisselected,thisgivesthe
user the additional capability of selecting
dehumidification set points from 60 to 95% (instead of
the normal 65 to 95%).
In addition, if bulb modeis active, function codeCd37
may be set to override theprevious defrosttermination
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
defrost termination 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:
3-6T-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 mode is disabled by any of the above, the
evaporatorfanoperationfordehumidificationrevertsto
“alt”andtheDTSterminationsettingresetstothevalue
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).
Withthevariablesetto --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
facttogreatlyimprovetheenergyefficiencyoftheunit.
Temperaturecontrolinthefrozenrangeisaccomplished
bycyclingthecompressoronandoffastheloaddemand
requires.
When cooling from a temperature that is more than
2.5_C (4.5_F)abovesetpoint,thesystemwillbe in the
frozenpulldownmode.Itwilltransitiontoeconomized
operation with a target SMV 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
maximum allowed suction modulating valve opening.)
When temperature drops to set point minus 0.2_Cand
thecompressorhasrunforatleastfiveminutes,theunit
will transition to the frozen idle 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 temperaturedrops 10_C below set point, the unit
will transition to the frozen “heating” mode. In the
frozen heating mode the evaporator fansare broughtto
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
economymodeisactivewhenfunctioncodeCd34isset
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
temperature is 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.,theunitwillrestarttherefrigerationsystemand
continue to cool until the previously mentioned
off-cycle temperature criteria are met. If the control
temperature is 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 therefrigerated cargo.The
action taken when anerror is detected always considers
thesurvivalofthecargo.Rechecksaremadetoconfirm
that an error actually exists.
Somealarmsrequiringcompressorshutdownhavetime
delays beforeand afterto try to keepthe 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
numbers 13, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27.
b. If a detectable problem is found to exist, its alarm
code will be alternately displayed with the set point
on the left display.

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-tripinspectionshouldnotbeperformed
with critical temperaturecargoes in thecon-
tainer. CAUTION
When Pre-Trip key is pressed, economy, de-
humidification and bulb mode will be deac-
tivated. AtthecompletionofPre-Tripactivi-
ty, economy, dehumidification and bulb
mode must be reactivated.
Testing may be initiated by use of the Key Pad or via

3.6.6 Sampling Type (dCF05 & dCF06)
Three types of data sampling are available, average,
snapshot and USDA. When configured to average, the
average of readings taken every minute over the
recording period is recorded. When configured to
snapshot, the sensor reading at the log intervale timeis
recorded. When USDA is configured the supply and
return temperature readings are averaged and the 3
USDA probe readings are snapshot.
3.6.7 Alarm Configuration (dCF07 -- dCF10)
The USDA and cargo probe alarms may be configured
to OFF, ON or AUTO.
IfaprobealarmisconfiguredtoOFF,thenthealarmfor
this probe is always disabled.
IfaprobealarmisconfiguredtoON,thentheassociated
alarm is always enabled.
If the probes are configured to AUTO, they act as a
group. This function is designed to assist users who
keep their DataCORDER configured for USDA
recording, but do not install the probes forevery trip.If
all the probes are disconnected, no alarms areactivated.
As soon asone of theprobes is installed, thenall ofthe
alarmsareenabledandtheremainingprobesthatarenot
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
Retrieval program. 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
communication when an interrogation cable is plugged
into an interrogation receptacle.
3. External DC battery packpower: 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, the DataCORDER will power up when the
real time clock indicates that a data recording should
take place. When the DataCORDER is finished
recording, it will power down.
During DataCORDER power-up, while using
battery-pack power, the controller will perform a
hardware voltage check on the battery. If the hardware
checkpasses,theController willenergizeandperforma
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. Further DataCORDER temperature logging 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
Retrieval program. Refer to Table 3-9 for a description
of the data stored in the DataCORDER for each
corresponding Pre-Trip test.
3.6.10 DataCORDER Communications

3.6.11 USDA Cold Treatment
Sustained cold temperature has been employed as an
effective postharvest method for the control of
Mediterranean and certain other tropical fruit flies.
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
integrated Cold Treatment capability into its
microprocessor system. These units have the ability to
maintain supply air temperature within one-quarter
degreeCelsiusofsetpointandrecordminutechangesin
product temperature within the DataCORDER
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
threeremotetemperatureprobesbeplacedatprescribed
locations in the cargo. Provision is made to connect
these probes to the DataCORDER via receptacles
locatedat therearleft-handsideoftheunit.Fourorfive
receptacles are provided. The four three-pin receptacles
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.
The standard DataCORDER report displays the supply
and return air temperatures. The cold treatment report
displaysUSDA#1, #2, #3 andthe supplyand returnair
temperatures. Cold treatment recording is backed upby
a battery so recording can continue if AC power is lost.
b. USDA/ Message Trip Comment
AspecialfeatureisincorporatedinDataLine/DataView
which allows the user to enter a USDA (or other)
message in the header of a data report. The maximum

3.6.12 USDA Cold Treatment Procedure
The following is a summary of the steps required to
initiate a USDA Cold Treatment.
a. Calibrate the three USDA probes by ice bathing the
probes and performing the calibration function with
theDataReader, DataView orDataLine. This calibra-
tion procedure determines the probe offsets and
stores them in the controllerfor usein generatingthe
cold treatment report. Refer to the Data Retrieval
manual 62-02575 for more details.

Cd01 Suction Modulation
Valve Opening (%) Displays the SMV percent open. The right display reads 100% when the valve is
fully open. The valve will usually be at 10% on start up of the unit except in very
high ambient temperatures.
Cd02 Not Applicable Not used
Cd03 Compressor Motor
Current 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.
Cd04

Phase B
Line Current,
Phase C
The current sensor measures current on two legs. The third unmeasured leg is cal-
culated 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 heat-
er 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.
Cd07 Main Power Voltage The main supply voltage is displayed.
Cd08 Main Power Fre-
quency The value of the main power frequency is displayed in Hertz. The frequency dis-
played will be halved if either fuse F1 or F2 is bad (alarm code AL21).

a percent value.
Cd18 Software Revision # The software revision number is displayed.
Cd19 Battery Check
This code checks the Controller/DataCORDER battery pack. While the test is
running, “btest” will flash on the right display, followed by the result. “PASS”
will be displayed for battery voltages greater than 7.0 volts. “FAIL” will be dis-
played for battery voltages between 4.5 and 7.0 volts, and “-- -- -- -- --” will be
displayed for battery voltages less than 4.5 volts. After the result is displayed for
four seconds, “btest” will again be displayed, and the user may continue to scroll
through the various codes.

Cd25 Compressor Run
Time Remaining
Until Defrost This code displays the time remaining until the unit goes into defrost (in tenths of
an hour). This value is based on the actual accumulated compressor running time.
Cd26 Defrost Temperature
Sensor Reading Defrost temperature sensor reading is displayed.
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.
Cd27 Defrost Interval
(Hours)
The defrost interval is the time between defrost cycles. Five selectable values are
available: 3, 6, 9, 12 or 24 hours. The factory default value is 12 hours. Follow-
ing a start--up or after termination of a defrost, the time will not begin counting
down until the defrost temperature sensor (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 tem-
perature sensor reading will be used.
Defrost Interval Timer Value (Configuration variable CnF23): If the software is
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.
NOTE
The defrost interval timer counts only during compressor run time.
Cd28 Temperature Units
(_Cor_F)
This code determines the temperature units (_Cor_F) which will be used for all
temperature displays. The user selects _Cor_F by selecting function code Cd28
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.
Cd29 Failure Action
(Mode)
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 fol-
lows:
A-- FullCooling(compressorison,economizedoperation.SMVsubjecttopressure
and current limit.)
B -- PartialCooling (Compressoris on, standardoperation.SMVsubjecttopressure
and current limit.)
C -- EvaporatorFan Only(Compressoris off, evaporatorfanson high speed, not ap-
plicable with frozen set points.
D -- Full System Shutdown -- Factory Default (shut down every component in the
unit)
Cd30 In-Range Tolerance
The in-range tolerance will determine the band of temperatures around 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)
3=¦1.5_C(¦2.7_F)
4=¦2.0_C(¦3.6_F) -- Factory Default

Cd31 Stagger Start Offset
Time (Seconds)
The stagger start offset time is the amount of time that the unit will delay at start-
up, thus allowing multiple units to stagger their control initiation when all units
are powered up together. The eight possible offset values are:
0 (Factory Default), 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 or 21 seconds
Cd32 Current Limit
(Amperes)
The current limit is the maximum current draw allowed on any phase at any time.
Limiting the unit’s current reduces the load on the main power supply. This is
accomplished by reducing the SMV position until current draw is reduced to the
set point. When desirable, the limit can be lowered. Note, however, that capacity
is also reduced. The five values for 460vac operation are: 15, 17, 19, 21 (Factory
Default), 23
Cd33 Perishable Mode
Dehumidification
Control (% RH)
Relative humidity set point is available only on units configured for dehumidifi-
cation. When the mode is activated, the control probe LED flashes on and off ev-
ery second to alert the user. If not configured, the mode is permanently deacti-
vated and “-- -- -- -- --”willdisplay.Thevaluecanbesetto“OFF.”“TEST,”ora
range of 65 to 95% relative humidity in increments of 1%. [If bulb mode is active
(code Cd35) and “Lo” speed evaporator motors are selected (code Cd36) then set
point ranges from 60 to 95%.] When “TEST” is selected or test set point is
entered, the heat LED should illuminate, indicating that dehumidification mode is
activated. After a period of five minutes in the “TEST” mode has elapsed, the
previously selected mode is reinstated.
Cd34 Economy Mode
(On--Off) Economy mode is a user selectable mode of operation provided for power saving
purposes.
Cd35 Bulb Mode
Bulb mode is a user selectable mode of operation that is an extension of dehu-
midification control (Cd33). If dehumidification is set to “Off,” code Cd35 will
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.
Cd36 Evaporator Speed
Select
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
display cannot be changed. If a dehumidification set point has been selected along
with bulb mode then “alt” may be selected for alternating speed, “Lo” for low
speed evaporator fan only, or “Hi” for high speed evaporator fan only. If a setting
other than “alt” has been selected and bulb mode is deactivated in any manner,
then selection reverts back to “alt.”
Cd37 Defrost Termination
Temperature Setting
(Bulb Mode)
This code, as with function code Cd36, is used with bulb mode and dehumidifica-
tion. If bulb mode is active, this code allows the user to change the temperature
defrost will terminate. It allows the user to change the setting within a range of
4_C to 25.6_Cin0.1_C (0.2_F) increments. This value is changed using the UP/
DOWN ARROW keys, followed by the ENTER key when the desired value is
displayed. If bulb mode is deactivated, the DTS setting returns to the default.

mum for 10 minutes out of the last hour. The alarm is display only and will trig-
ger off when the compressor operates for one hour without over current.
AL17 Phase Sequence
Failure -- Pressure
Alarm 17 is triggered if a compressor start in both directions fails to generate
sufficient pressure differential. The controller will attempt restart every twenty
minutes and deactivate the alarm if successful. 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
AL18 Discharge Pressure
High Alarm 18 is triggered if discharge pressure is 10% over calculated maximum for
10 minutes within the last hour. The alarm is display only and will trigger off
when the compressor operates for one hour without overpressure.
AL19 Discharge Tempera-
ture High Alarm 19 is triggered if discharge temperature exceeds 135_C (275_F) for 10
minutes within the last hour. The alarm is display only and will trigger off when
the compressor operates for one hour without over temperature.
AL20 Control Circuit Fuse
Open (24 vac) Alarm 20 is triggered by control power fuse (F3) opening and will cause the soft-
ware shutdown of all control units. This alarm will remain active until the fuse is
replaced.
AL21 Micro Circuit Fuse
Open (18 vac)
Alarm 21 is triggered by one of the fuses (F1/F2) being opened on 18 volts AC
power supply to the Controller. The suction modulation valve (SMV) will be
opened and current limiting is halted. Temperature control will be maintained by
cycling the compressor.
AL22 Evaporator Fan Mo-
tor Safety Alarm 22 responds to the evaporator motor internal protectors. The alarm is trig-
gered by opening of either internal protector. It will disable all control units until
the motor protector resets and the unit is power cycled.
AL23 Loss of Phase B
Alarm 23 is triggered if low current draw is detected on phase B and IPCP, HPS
or IPEM is not tripped. If the compressor should be running, the controller will
initiate a start up every five minutes and trigger off if current reappears. If the
evaporator fan motors only should be running, the alarm will trigger off is cur-
rent reappears. 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
AL24 Compressor Motor

Failure
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.
AL27 A/D Accuracy Fail-
ure
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 read-
ings. The Controller continuously performs calibration tests on the A-D con-
verter. 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.
AL28 Low Suction Pres-
sure
Alarm 28 is triggered if 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 trig-
gers 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.
AL51 Alarm List Failure
During start-up diagnostics, the EEPROM is examined to determine validity of
its contents. This is done by testing the set point and the alarm list. If the con-
tents 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 ac-
tivated. Alarm 51 is a “display only” alarm and is not written into 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.
AL52 AlarmListFull 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.
AL53 Battery Pack Failure 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
AL54 Primary Supply
Temperature Sensor
Failure (STS)
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 sen-
sor 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.
NOTE
The P5 Pre-Trip test must be run to inactivate the alarm
AL55 DataCORDER
Failure This alarm activates to indicate the DataCORDER has a software failure. To
clear this alarm, reconfigure the unit to the current model number. This failure
may be the result of a voltage dip in access of 25%.
3-19 T-309
Table 3-6 Controller Alarm Indications (Sheet 3 of 4)
AL56 Primary Return
Temperature Sensor
Failure (RTS)
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 temperature sensor 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.
AL57 Ambient Tempera-
ture Sensor Failure Alarm 57 is triggered by an ambient temperature reading outside the valid range
from --50_C(--58_F) to +70_C (+158_F).
AL58 Compressor High
Pressure Safety 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 pres-
sure switch resets, at which time the compressor will restart.
AL59 Heat Termination
Thermostat 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 ther-
mostat resets.
AL60 Defrost Temperature
Sensor Failure
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 initia-
tion. After one-half hour with a frozen range set point, or one-half hour of contin-
uous 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 tempera-
ture sensor. The defrost mode will be terminated after one hour by the Controller.
AL61 Heaters Failure 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.This alarm is a display alarm with no resulting failure action, and will
be reset by a proper amp draw of the heater.
AL62 Compressor Circuit
Failure
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 mini-
mum 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.
AL63 Current Over Limit
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
selected limit, 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.
AL64 Discharge Tempera-
ture Over Limit 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.
AL65 Discharge Pressure
Transducer Failure Alarm 65 is triggered if a compressor discharge transducer is out of range. This is
a display alarm and has no associated failure action.
AL66 Suction Pressure
Transducer Failure Alarm 66 is triggered if a suction pressure transducer is out of range. This is a
display alarm and has no associated failure action.
AL67 Humidity Sensor
Failure 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.
AL69 Suction Temperature
Sensor Failure Alarm 69 is triggered by a suction temperature sensor 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.

Requirements: Test P7-0 must pass for this test to execute. Setup: The con-
denser 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.
P8-0 Perishable Mode
Heat Test
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 temperature is above 15.6°C at the start of the test, then the test pro-
ceeds 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 con-
trol temperature reaches set point. The display will read “P8-0,” “FAIL.
P8-1 Perishable Mode
Pull Down Test
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.
P8-2 Perishable Mode
Maintain Tempera-
ture Test
Requirements: Test P8-1 must pass for this test to execute. This test is skipped
if the DATAcorder is not configured or available.
Setup: The left display will read “P8-2,” and the right display will show the sup-
ply air temperature. A two hour timer is started. The unit will be required to
maintain the temperature to within + or -- 0.5_C (0.9_F) of set point until a Da-
taCORDER recording is executed. The recorder supply probe temperature run-
ning total (and its associated readings counter) will be zeroed out for the remain-
der 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 DataCORDER recording, the test passes. If the average temper-
ature is outside of the tolerance range at the recording, the test fails and will
auto--repeat by starting P8--0 over.
P9-0 Defrost Test
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 re-
turn air temperature rises above 49/50_C (120/122_F).

P10-0 Frozen Mode
Heat Test
Setup: If the container temperature is below 7.2_C(45_F), the set point is
changedto7.2_C and a 180 minute timer is started. The control will then be
placed in the equivalent of normal heating. If the container temperature is above
7.2_C at the start of the test, then the test proceeds immediately to test 10--1.
During this test, the control temperature will be shown in the right display.
Pass/Fail Criteria: The test fails if the 180 minute timer expires before the con-
trol temperate reaches set point --0.3_C (0.17_F). If the test fails it will not auto--
repeat. There is no pass display for this test, once the control temperature reaches
set point, the test proceeds to test 10--1
P10-1 Frozen Mode Pull
Down Test
Requirements: Control temperature must be at least 7.2_C(45_F)
Setup: The set point is changed to --17.8_C(0_F). The system will then attempt
to pull don the Control temperature to set point using normal frozen mode cool-
ing. During this test, the control temperate will be shown on the right display
Pass/Fail Criteria: If the control temperature does not reach set point --0.3_C
(0.17_F) before the 180 minute timer expires the test fails and will auto--repeat
by starting P10--0 over..
P10-2 Frozen Mode
Maintain
Temperature Test
Requirements: Test P10-1 must pass for this test to execute. This test is skipped
if the DATAcorder is not configured or available.
Setup: During this test, the left display will read “P10-2,” and the right display
will show the supply air temperature. A two hour timer is started. The unit will
be required to maintain the temperature to within + 0.5_C (0.9_F)/--1.3_C
(2.3_F) of set point until a DataCORDER recording is executed. The recorder
supply 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 (0.9_F)/--1.3_C
(2.3_F) of set point from test start to DataCORDER recording, 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 P10--0 over.

4.8 OBSERVE UNIT OPERATION
4.8.1 Probe Check
IftheDataCORDERisofforinalarmthecontrollerwill
revert to a four probe configuration which includes the
DataCORDER supply and return air probes as the
secondary controller probes. The controller
continuously performs probe diagnosis testing which
compares the four probes. If the probe diagnosis result
indicates a probe problem exists, the controller will
perform a 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)forperishablesetpointsor2_C(3.6_F)
for frozen set points.
If25ormoreof30readingstakenwithina30minute
periodareoutside ofthe limit, then adefrost is initi-
ated and a probe check is performed.
Inthis configuration, aprobecheckwill be run as apart
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
In this configuration, a probe check will not be run as a
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:
T-309 4-4
1. At every power up.
2. At the end of every defrost.
3. After every diagnostic check that does not fall out-
side 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
predetermined limits. The defrost indicator will remain
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.

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
thataprobecheckisnecessarybasedonthetempera-
ture values currently reported by the supply and re-
turn probes.
5. If the controller is programmed with the Demand
Defrost option (Future) and theoption is set to“IN”
the unit will enter defrost if it has been in operation
for over 2.5 hours without reaching set point.

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
risesabovethedefrostterminationthermostatsetpoint.
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
thesensortemperaturereadingisabovesetpoint.When
the unit is operating in bulb mode (refer to paragraph
3.3.9), special settings may be applicable.
If the controller is programmed with the Lower DTT
setting option the defrost termination thermostat set
pointmaybeconfiguredtothedefaultof25.6_C(78_F)
orloweredto18_C(64_F).Whenarequestfordefrostis
made by use of the manual defrost switch,
communications or probe check the unit will enter
defrost if the defrost temperature thermostat reading is
at or below the defrost termination thermostat setting.
Defrost will terminate with the defrost temperature
sensor reading rises above the defrost termination
thermostat setting. When a request for defrost is made
bythedefrostintermaletimerorbydemanddefrost,the
defrosttemperaturesettingsettingmust bebelow10_C
(50_F).
When the defrost mode is initiated the controller opens
contacts TD, TN and TE (or TV) to de-energize the
compressor, condenser fan and evaporator fans. The
COOL light is also de--energized.
The controller then closes TH to supply power to the
heaters. The defrost light is illuminated.
Whenthedefrosttemperaturesensorreadingrisestothe
defrost termination thermostat setting, the de--icing
operation is terminated.
If defrost does not terminate correctly and temperature
reaches the set point of the heat 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.
If probe check (controller function code CnF31) is
configured to special, the unit will proceed to the next
operation (snap freeze or terminate defrost). If the code
is configured to standard, the unit will perform aprobe
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.Attheendoftheeightminutes,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).
If controller function codeCnF33 is configured tosnap
freeze, the controller will sequence to this operation.
The snap freeze consists of running the compressor
without the evaporator fans in operation for a period of
four minutes with the suction modulation valve fully
open. When the snap freeze is completed, defrost is
formally terminated.

6.1 SECTION LAYOUT
Service procedures are provided herein beginning with
refrigeration system service, then refrigeration system
component service, electrical system service,
temperature recorder service and general service. Refer
to the Table Of Contents to locate specific topics.
6.2 SERVICE VALVES
The compressor suction, compressor discharge,
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
valve to open the line connection and close off the path
to the access valve.
With the valve stem midway between frontseat and
backseat,bothoftheservicevalveconnectionsareopen
to the access valve path.
For example, the valve stem is first fully backseated
whenconnectingamanifoldgaugetomeasurepressure.
Then, thevalveis opened1/4 to 1/2 turnto measure the
pressure.

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
(turnedallthewayin),thesuction(low)pressurecanbe
checked. When the discharge pressure hand valve is
frontseated, the discharge (high) pressure can be
checked. When both valves are open (turned
counter-clockwiseall thewayout), high pressurevapor
will flow into the low side. When the suction pressure
valve is open and the discharge pressure valveshut, the
6-2T-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:

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
compressorinadeepvacuum, internaldam-
age will result.
a. Attach manifold gauge set to the compressorsuction
and discharge service valves. Refer to paragraph 6.3.
b. Start the unit and run in the frozen mode (controller
set below --10°C)for10to15minutes.
c. CheckfunctioncodeCd21(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
theliquidlineservicevalve.Placestart-stopswitchin
theOFF position whenthe suctionreaches a positive
pressure of 0.1 kg/cm@(1.0 psig).
e. Frontseat the economizer service valve and then
frontseat the suction and discharge service valves.
Therefrigerantwillbetrappedbetweenthecompres-
sor suction service valve and the liquid line valve.
f. Before opening up any part of the system, a slight
positive pressure should beindicated on thepressure
6-3 T-309
gauge. If a vacuum is indicated, emit refrigerant by
crackingtheliquidlinevalvemomentarilytobuildup
a slight positive pressure.
g. Whenopeninguptherefrigerantsystem,certainparts
mayfrost.Allowtheparttowarmtoambienttemper-
ature before dismantling. This avoids internal con-
densation 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 para-
graph 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 mix-
tures of refrigerants and air can undergo
combustion when exposed to an ignition
source.
a. The recommended procedure for finding leaks in a
systemiswithaR-134aelectronicleakdetector.Test-
ingjointswithsoapsudsissatisfactoryonlyforlocat-
ing large leaks.
b. Ifthesystemiswithoutrefrigerant,chargethesystem
with refrigerant 134a to build up pressure between
2.1to3.5kg/cm@(30to50psig).Toensurecomplete
pressurization of the system, refrigerant should be
charged at the compressor suction and economizer
servicevalvesandtheliquidlineservicevalve.Also,
the area between the suction modulating valve and
evaporatorexpansion valve maynot beopen tothese
charging points. Pressurebetween thesecomponents
maybechecked atthelowsideaccessvalve(item11,
Figure 2-2) or by checking that the suction modulat-
ing valve is more than 10% open at controller func-
tion code Cd01. The suction modulating valve may
beopenedbyuseofthecontrollerfunctioncodeCd41
valve override control (refer to paragraph 6.19). Re-
move refrigerant cylinderandleak-check allconnec-
tions.
NOTE
Only refrigerant 134a should be used to pres-
surize the system. Any other gas or vapor will
contaminate the system, which will require
additional purging and evacuation of the sys-
tem.
c. If required, remove refrigerant using a refrigerant
recovery system and repair any leaks.
d. Evacuateand dehydrate the unit.(Refer toparagraph
6.6.)
e. Charge unit per paragraph 6.7.
6.6 EVACUATION AND DEHYDRATION
6.6.1 General
Moisture is the deadly enemy of refrigeration systems.
The presence of moisture in a refrigeration system can
have many undesirable effects. The most common are
copper plating, acid sludge formation, “freezing-up”of
metering devices by freewater, and formation of acids,
resulting in metal corrosion.
6.6.2 Preparation
a. Evacuateand dehydrateonly after pressure leak test.
(Refer to paragraph 6.5.)
b. Essential tools to properly evacuate and dehydrate
any systeminclude avacuum pump (8 m3/hr= 5 cfm
volume displacement) and an electronic vacuum
gauge. (The pump is available from Carrier Trans-
icold, 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. Additionaltimemaybesavedduringa completesys-
tem pump down by replaceing the filter-drier with a
section of coppertubing and the appropriatefittings.
Installation of a new drier may be performed during
the charging procedure.

a. Remove all refrigerant using a refrigerant recovery
system.
b. Therecommendedmethodtoevacuateanddehydrate
thesystem is to connect evacuation hosesatthecom-
pressor suction, compressor economizer and liquid
line service valve (see Figure 6-5). Be sure the ser-
vice hoses are suited for evacuation purposes.
c. The area between the suction modulating valve and
evaporator expansion valve may not be open to the
access valves. To ensure evacuation of this area,
check that the suction modulating valveis morethan
10% open at controller function code Cd01. If re-
quired, the suction modulating valvemay beopened
by use of the controller function code Cd41 valve
overridecontrol.Ifpoweris not availabletoopenthe
valve, the area may be evacuated by connecting an
additional hose at the low side access valve (item 11,
Figure 2-2).
d. Testtheevacuationsetupforleaksbybackseatingthe
unit service valves and drawing a deep vacuum with
thevacuumpumpandgaugevalvesopen.Shutoffthe
pump and check to see if the vacuum holds. Repair
leaks if necessary.
e. Midseat the refrigerant system service valves.

uum holds.
g. Break the vacuum with clean dry refrigerant 134a
gas. Raise system pressure to approximately 0.2 kg/
cm@(2 psig), monitoring it with the compound
gauge.
h. Remove refrigerant using a refrigerant recovery sys-
tem.

6.8 COMPRESSOR -- Model RSH105
WARNING
Make sure power to the unit is OFF and
power plug disconnected before replacing
the compressor.
WARNING
Before disassembly of the compressor make
sure to relieve the internal pressure very
carefully by slightly loosening the couplings
to break the seal.
CAUTION
The scroll compressor achieves low suction
pressure very quickly. Do not use the com-
pressor to evacuate the system below zero
psig. Never operate the compressor with the
suction or discharge service valves closed
(frontseated). Internal damage will result
from operating the compressor in a deep
vacuum.
6.8.1 Removal and Replacement of Compressor

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. Fanmotorwillnotchangespeed.Forexample:inthe
conventionalperishablemode,themotorsshouldrun
in high speed. In the economy perishable mode they
shouldswitchspeedsandinthefrozenmode,themo-
tors 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:
1If container is empty, open upper rear panel of the
unit.Thecapacitormaybeservicedafterdisconnect-
ing power plug.
2If container is full,turn theunit power OFF anddis-
connect power plug. Remove the evaporator fan
motor access panel. (See see Figure 2-1). For
removal oftheevaporatorfan assembly,refertosec-
tion 6.17. WARNING
WithpowerOFFdischargethecapacitorbe-
fore disconnecting the circuit wiring.
6.18.3 Checking The Capacitor
If the capacitor is suspected of malfunction, you may
choosetosimplyreplaceit.Directreplacementrequires
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 then gradually swing back toward avery
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
value ofa capacitor and to detect insulation breakdown
6-13 T-309
under load conditions. The important advantages of a
analyzer are its ability to locate capacitors that have
failed to hold their microfarad ratings, or those thatare
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
canbeheardorfelt,itindicatesthatthecontrol-
leranddrivemoduleareattemptingtoclosethe
valve, and may serveas a quick indicationthat
the drive is in working order.

troller valve override program, function code Cd41.
Refer to paragraph 6.19 for valve override test in-
structions.
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.Innormalambient,thevalveshould 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
replace the motor.
b. Checking with SMA-12 portable stepper drive tester
The SMA-12 portable stepper drive tester (Carrier
Transicold P/N 07-00375-00) is a battery operated
stepperdrivewhichwillopenandclosetheSMV,which
allows a more thorough check of the operating
mechanism.
To check operation:
1. Stoptheunit,disconnectthefourpinconnectorfrom
thesteppermoduletothevalve(seeFigure 6-17)and
attachtheSMA-12stepperdrivetotheconnectorgo-
ingtothevalve.
2. Set the SMA-12 pulse per second (PPS)to onePPS
and either open or close valve. Each LED should
lightsequentiallyuntilallfourarelit.AnyLEDfail-
ing to light indicatesan open on that leg which indi-
catesapoorconnectionoranopencoil.Repairorre-
place as required to achieve proper operation.
CAUTION

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 con-
nectionsforpropercontinuityandretest.Ifthevalve
is functioning and all connections and motor resist-
ance are good, check the controller and expansion
