Regulatory Statements:
FCC:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by Thermo King
Corporation may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Radiofrequency radiation exposure Information:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm
between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

IC:
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage
est susceptible d'en compromettre le onctionnement.
„Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.‟
„Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à
l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une
communication satisfaisante.‟

g. The status will change to “Connection established” once the TDAC has successful connection
to REB. The TDAC screen display will change- adding more icons for you to configure REB
with Wi-Fi settings . See Figure 4
Figure 4
h. Click on Wi-Fi Network icon to configure REB to connect to the Website via Wi-Fi. See Figure
5.
Will appear when
connected to REB.

i. Click on WIFI 1 and input required data/parameters to connect to your local Wi-Fi
network. This data will be provided by your local IT or TK Customer Service. Note: At
present, Key management configuration is limited to the following:
WEP 64
WEP 128
WPA
WPA2
j. Review your configuration and click update. At this point, Wi-Fi connection profile
has been created.
k. To add more Wi-Fi connection profiles click WIFI 2. At present, you are limited to a
maximum of 5 Wi-Fi connection profiles.
Note: For technical help, call your local IT or TK customer service.
l. Click on Routing Selection and select “ Wi-Fi if present” and click update button. See
Figure 6.
Note: This will allow REB to connect to cellular network if your trailer is driving away
from the Wi-Fi coverage.
Figure 6
m. Test the Wi-Fi connection to an available Wi-Fi connection/profile, by clicking on
Wi-Fi test icon. Wait for 2-5 minute to display result. See Figure 7.
Expected Result:
Signal Quality should be green. If not green move to a location that displays
green signal quality to guarantee connection.
Channel display ( normally 1, 6, 0r 11)
Network Name is same as SSID configure in the profile.
Wi-Fi Status should display connected.

LED blinks green every three seconds when on the network.
LED blinks amber every three seconds when off the network.
Conservative and Full Null (replaces sleep):
LED blinks red every five seconds until the ARM is switched, after this LEDs cannot be switched.
Limited SCOM (New mode, effectively a short wakeup from Conservative mode):
LED blinks green every five seconds when on the network.

Thermo King Corporation Proprietary Information
5.1.1 Full-On:
Conditions: Reefer is running, 8xp is high
Behavior: The REB reporting to website every hour for U.S. and 15 minutes for ESA, the power
status in the website is “ON”
5.1.2 Countdown and Conservative
Pre-Conditions: HMI is turned-off, Controller OFF, 8xP is low
Behavior: a. Very similar to full-on. It will periodically reports to the website dependent on the
logging interval set when unit is OFF and website will display as unit OFF. The
REB will save power as much it can since it takes power directly from the unit
battery including the door and fuel sensors if connected to the REB. Thus, it is
essential for REB to monitor the voltage level of the unit battery to ensure engine
start up when needed by the customer. When this voltage level ( default is 12 V
but configurable by TDAC)is achieved, the REB will wait for 5 minutes, send
alarm 253 and then switch to back-up battery as power source. This state of the
REB is known as “Conservative”.
b. Conservative can also be attained if countdown log counter is achieved. The
default countdown log interval is 24. This value is configurable by TDAC. When
countdown log timer expires the REB will switch back-up battery as power source
and send alarm 253 –telling customer that the REB is in back-up battery mode
and alarm notifications (doors and fuel) will be suspended. This states is also
known as “ Conservative”
c. If unit power is interrupted (i.e. unit battery being cut-off) it will switched to
back-up mode, REB in Conservative mode.
d. The website will display OFF in Conservative mode.
e. When REB is in Conservative state it will report to the website every hour with
location only.
f. The REB can be woken up before its logging/reporting interval if it has cellular
radio but not possible if REB has Wi-Fi only.
g. If the REB has WIFI radio only and in Conservative state, it will wait for the next
logging interval before it checks and execute requests made from the website.
5.1.3 Full-Null
Pre-Conditions: Back-up battery below is below 5.21V
Behavior:
a. When back-up battery is less than 5.21V the REB will quit working but will send
alarm 233 prior to switching to full-null.
b. The REB will transition to another state when unit is turned On.
c. The Full-null can also be attained if the conservative log counter expires. The log
counter is 96 as a default but configurable via TDAC.
