This guide has been prepared for the operator of units supplied with
the Advance Microprocessor: Ultima 53, Ultra and Ultra XL, Ex-
tra, and Ultra XTC and Ultima XTC Carrier Transicold diesel trail-
er and rail refrigeration units. It contains basic instructions for the
daily operation of the refrigeration unit as well as safety information,
troubleshooting tips, and other information that will help you to de-
liver the load in the best possible condition. Please take the time to
read the information contained in this booklet and refer to it when-
ever you have a question about the operation of your Carrier Tran-
sicold unit.

Your refrigeration unit has been engineered to provide long,

trouble-free performance when it is properly operated and main-
tained. The checks outlined in this guide will help to minimize over-
the-road problems. In addition, a comprehensive maintenance pro-
gram will help to insure that the unit continues to operate reliably.
Such a maintenance program will also help to control operating
costs, increase the unit’s working life, and improve performance.

This guide is intended as an introduction to your unit and to provide

general assistance when needed. More comprehensive informa-
tion can be found in the Operation & Service Manual for your unit.
This manual can be obtained from your Carrier Transicold dealer.

When having your unit serviced, be sure to specify genuine Carrier

Transicold replacement parts for the highest quality and best reli-
ability.

ENGINE COOLANT
The engine is equipped with a pressurized cooling system. Under
normal operating conditions, the coolant in the engine and radiator
is under high pressure and is very hot. Contact with hot coolant can
cause severe burns. Do not remove the cap from a hot radiator; if
the cap must be removed, do so very slowly in order to release the
pressure without spray.

REFRIGERANTS
The refrigerant contained in the refrigeration system of your unit
can cause frostbite, severe burns, or blindness when in direct
contact with the skin or eyes. For this reason, and because of
legislation regarding the handling of refrigerants during system
service, we recommend that, whenever your unit requires service
of the refrigeration system, you contact your nearest Carrier
Transicold authorized repair facility for service.

BATTERY
This unit is equipped with a lead-acid type battery. The battery
normally vents small amounts of flammable hydrogen gas. Do not
smoke when checking the battery. A battery explosion can cause
serious physical harm and/or blindness.

62--10646 14
Setpoints of --22°F to +89.6°F (--30°C to +32°C) may be entered
via the keypad. The controller always retains the last entered
setpoint in memory. Depending on Microprocessor set--up, the
setpoint may be changed up or down in either 0.1° (one--tenth of
a degree) or 1° (one full degree) increments by pressing and
releasing either the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW key.

TIP: If the message “MAX SETPOINT HAS BEEN

REACHED” or “MIN SETPOINT HAS BEEN REACHED”
is displayed, the setpoint range has been locked within set
minimum and maximum limits, and cannot be changed
beyond those settings.

You can not change setpoint when unit is in Pretrip or Sleep Mode
or when viewing Alarm List, Data List or Functional Parameters.
Pressing the = key will cause the new displayed setpoint value to
become active and “SET POINT CHANGED” is displayed. If the
display is flashing and the new value is not entered, after 5 seconds
of no keyboard activity, the display and Light Bar will both flash for
15 seconds with “SET POINT NOT CHANGED” displayed and then
revert back to the last setpoint. All other keys are active at this time
and may be pushed while the display is flashing.

TIP: You may press and hold the UP ARROW or DOWN

ARROW key to quickly change the setpoint. The longer
the key is held, the faster the setting will change.

ST ART / ST O P MO DE SELECT ED

1. Press the START-STOP/CONTINUOUS

key until the START-STOP Light on the
controller illuminates.
2. Verify that START/STOP MODE SELECTED is
displayed on the MessageCenter for five seconds
and that the START-STOP light is illuminated. The
unit is now in Start-Stop operation.

Automatic start/stop is provided to permit starting/restarting of the

diesel-driven compressor as required. This gives the
microprocessor automatic control of starting and stopping the
diesel engine. The main function of automatic start-stop is to turn
off the refrigeration system near the setpoint to provide a fuel
efficient temperature control system and then restart the engine
when needed. Start-Stop operation is normally used for frozen
loads. Refer to RECOMMENDED TRANSPORT TEMPERATURES (See Page
51).

62--10646 16
Start-Stop and Continuous operation may be tied to the setpoint
ranges for frozen and perishable loads. The
START-STOP/CONTINUOUS key is locked out if “START-STOP
LOCKED” appears in the MessageCenter when the unit is in
Start--Stop Mode or “CONTINUOUS LOCKED” appears in the
MessageCenter when the unit is in Continuous Run Mode.
Any time the ambient temperature is below 35°F (2°C) the unit will
not operate in High or Low Speed Cool. High and Low Speed Heat
cycles will operate at all ambient temperatures.
The microprocessor controller monitors box temperature, battery
voltage, and engine coolant temperature
Whenever the unit starts in Start--Stop, it will run until:
SIt has run for the predetermined minimum run time
SThe engine coolant temperature is above 122°F (50°C)
SThe battery is fully charged as indicated in the MessageCenter by
“OK” after the voltage value AND the charging amps must be less
than the value selected in the configuration list (Factory setting is
6.5 amps.)
SThe box temperature is at setpoint
A restart will be initiated when one of the following conditions
occurs:
SBox temperature has moved away from setpoint by 4° to 18°F (2°
to 10°C) depending on the Functional Parameter settings.
SThe minimum Off Time has expired and the box temperature has
moved away from setpoint by more than 4°F (2°C).
SEngine coolant temperature drops below 34°F (1°C)
SThe battery voltage falls below 12.2 VDC
Maximum Off Time ensures that the entire load stays within safe
temperature range. The unit will start after a pre--selected
maximum off time--regardless of any change in box temperature.

If the unit fails to start three consecutive times, the “FAILED TO

START -- AUTO MODE” alarm is activated.
If all safety conditions are met while the unit is running and the unit
fails to run for the minimum run time three consecutive times, the
“FAILED TO RUN MINIMUM TIME” alarm is activated.

operation.

62--10646 18
In the Continuous Run mode, the diesel engine will run
continuously -- providing constant air flow and temperature control
to the product. Continuous Run operation is normally used for
perishable loads. Refer to RECOMMENDED TRANSPORT TEMPERATURES
(See Page 51).
Start-Stop and Continuous operation may be tied to the setpoint
ranges for frozen and perishable loads. The
START-STOP/CONTINUOUS key is locked out if “START-STOP
LOCKED” appears in the MessageCenter when the unit is in
Start--Stop Mode or “CONTINUOUS LOCKED” appears in the
MessageCenter when the unit is in Continuous Run Mode.
The unit will remain in low speed after the engine start--up for the
number of minutes selected in the functional parameters when the
Continuous Run setpoint is < 10°F (--12°C).
Also, any time the ambient temperature is below 35°F (2°C) the unit
will not operate in High Speed Cool. Low Speed Cool, High and
Low Speed Heat cycles will operate at all ambient temperatures.

“Wake Up” periodically and run to keep the battery charged and the
engine warm. There is NO temperature control in Sleep Mode
and it should never be used for hauling perishable or frozen
products.
While the unit is running in Sleep Mode, “WARNING: NO TEMP
CONTROL” will be displayed in the MessageCenter. No setpoint
or box temperature will be shown, as the unit is not running to
control the box temperature.
While the unit is cycled off in Sleep Mode, “SLEEP MODE, OFF/ON
TO WAKE” will be shown in the MessageCenter. To exit Sleep
Mode, you can use the instructions on the preceding page, or
Repeat Steps 1 thru 3 on preceding page, then press UP ARROW
key until “NO” is showing. Press the = key to exit.

NOTE: If the unit is equipped with remote two--way

communication capabilities, the Microprocessor may not
power down when the switch is turned off. Should this
occur, locate the Remote Monitoring Control Box and:
1. Move the Mode Switch behind the toggle guard to
Maintenance Mode.
2. Turn the Start/Run -- Off Switch to the Off position, then

Check DTT1 and DTT2 temperatures in Data List (DTT2 only for
XTC units). The defrost mode may be initiated in three different
ways if the evaporator coil is below 40°F (4.4°C) OR the SAT is
below 45°F (7.2°C) for XTC units:
1. Defrost is initiated automatically at preset intervals by defrost
timer in the microprocessor.
2. Defrost is initiated by the defrost air switch.
3. The defrost mode may be manually initiated by pressing the
Manual Defrost Key.
If “CANNOT START DEFROST CYCLE” is displayed:
S The coil temperature is above 40°F (4.4°C). Run the unit to lower
temperature below 40°F (4.4°C) and then restart defrost.
SThe unit has not run 15 seconds after starting
SThe unit is in PC Mode
SThe unit is in Pretrip.
SThere is an active shutdown Alarm
SDefrost will be started but delayed if unit is in Warm--up mode.
The defrost mode terminates when the evaporator temperature is
higher than 55°F (12.8°C). Should the defrost cycle not complete
within 45 minutes, the defrost cycle is terminated. “DEFROST NOT
COMPLETE” will be in the MessageCenter.
After the 45 minute termination, the controller will wait 1.5 hours of
engine running time before attempting an automatic defrost cycle.
Pressing the manual defrost key will override this mode and start
a defrost cycle.
If a shutdown alarm occurs, defrost will be terminated, the unit will
remain off for 15 minutes and then restart.

OPTIONS

TWO--WAY REMOTE COMMUNICATION

Units equipped with the DataTrak software option and two--way
communication capabilities can be identified by the presence of a
Remote Monitoring Control Box and/or a large decal on the front
doors.

When working with two--way communication equipment, it is

important to understand certain terms:
Local Physically at refrigeration unit loca-
tion.
Remote Monitoring or working with the refrig-
eration unit via the internet.
Remote Monitoring Control
Box The interface between the two--way
device and the refrigeration unit.
Mode Switch This switch is located under the metal
switch guard on the front of the Re-
mote Monitoring Control Box.
Reset Switch This switch is located on the left side
of the Remote Monitoring Control
Box.
With the two--way communication equipment, the location and op-
eration of the refrigeration unit can be monitored and controlled
from any location in the world. The use of an internet site, DataTrak
software, and two--way communication equipment allows equip-
ment owners and operators to watch over the entire fleet from any
location, or from multiple locations.
Remote users can control and make changes to their refrigeration
unit’s settings. From their internet web site they are able to change
the setpoint, reset active alarms, start a defrost cycle or pretrip test,
and start or turn off the unit, regardless of the position of the
Start/Run--Off Switch.

62--10646 40
 WARNING: UNITS EQUIPPED WITH REMOTE
TWO--WAY COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES MAY
HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE STARTED OR TUNED OFF
REMOTELY EVEN IF THE START/RUN--OFF SWITCH
(SROS) IS IN THE OFF POSITION.
The unit is controlled locally and there can be no
two--way communication when the Mode Switch on
the Remote Monitoring Control Box is in
MAINTENANCE MODE. Therefore, when performing
maintenance on the unit place the Mode Switch in
MAINTENANCE MODE. After the unit is serviced,
return the Mode Switch to REMOTE ON.

Whenever a technician is working on a refrigeration unit equipped

with any two--way communication equipment, remote monitoring
should be disabled to prevent any accidental starting of the unit.

The system can be easily disabled by moving the Mode Switch on

the Remote Monitoring Control Box to the Maintenance Mode
position. The Maintenance Mode is intended to be used whenever
maintenance is being performed on the unit. While in Maintenance
Mode, the remote monitoring equipment cannot receive nor
transmit unit information.

Once the maintenance is completed, the Mode Switch should be

moved into the Remote On position. This is the normal position of
the switch. The Remote On position allows two--way
communication to and from the refrigeration unit and the remote
user.

NOTE: All units equipped with remote monitoring

equipment must have the mode switch in Remote On
position for proper operation during loading and
unloading, and while in--transit.

MOMENTARY SHUT-- OFF/KILL SWITCH

MOMENTARY SHUT DOWNLOAD

OFF SWITCH PORT
The Momentary Shut Off Switch should be used
whenever it is necessary to shut off the unit
immediately, and the unit is continuing to run,
even with the Start/Run--Off Switch in the Off
position.

1. The Momentary Shut Off Switch is typically

located next to the data Download Port behind
the Keypad door.
2. To stop the unit, press the Momentary Shut
Off Switch. The unit will immediately shut off.
Not all units with DataTrak two--way
communication are equipped with a
Momentary Shut Off Switch.

NOTE: For units equipped with DataTrak software and

two--way remote communication equipment, the
remote monitoring system must be reset before
the unit can be started again when the unit is
shut down using the Momentary Shut Off/Kill
Switch. (See instructions on page 45.)

INTELLISETT
T
The Advancet Microprocessor offers over 48
parameters that may be set depending on the product
being carried.
Available with the Advance Microprocessors is the
IntelliSet Option. IntelliSet allows the owner to pre--program
specific product settings into the microprocessor and give
the settings a name. The driver may then call up these
settings by simply selecting the IntelliSet name.
For example: Apples may require continuous operation
at 35°F (1.7°C) with a defrost every 3 hours while a load of
cheese may require the same operation with setpoints
ranging from 35°F to 42°F (1.7°C to 5.6°C) and a load of
ice cream requires start/stop operation at --22°F (--30°) with
defrost at 12 hour intervals. The settings required for each
product may be entered into the microprocessor and then
locked so they cannot be changed. In the case of the
cheese, the range of setpoints may be locked, leaving the
driver the ability to change the setpoint within the locked
range.
When a load of apples is going to be picked up, the
driver simply selects “APPLES” from the IntelliSet menu;
for cheese, “CHEESE” is selected and the setpoint reset as
required; for ice cream, “ICE CREAM” is selected. With
each selection, the microprocessor automatically
re--programs the settings to provide the best temperature
control, fuel economy, and performance for that particular
product.

NOTE: Intelliset #31 is pre--programmed as “IntelliSleep”

which allows Sleep Mode (See Page 20) to be entered by
simply changing to that IntelliSet.
NOTE: The above settings are examples of possible
settings. Except for #31, IntelliSets are not factory set.
They are developed by individual customers.

1 During delivery cycles that include frequent stops and door

openings, it is recommended that the unit always be operated in the
continuous run mode to help insure product quality. If it is possible,
the unit should be turned off during the time the trailer doors are
open to help conserve the product temperature.
2 Variations may be necessary for very high or very low ambient
temperatures. 7.

51 62--10646
PRE-TRIP INSPECTION
The pre-trip inspection should be performed before picking up any
load. This inspection is essential to anticipate and help minimize the
possibility of “over-the-road” problems. These checks take only a
few minutes.
1. Place the Start/Run--Off Switch in the OFF position.
2. Fuel -- drain any water and impurities from the sump of the
refrigeration unit fuel tank by opening the drain-cock located on
the bottom of the tank (if so equipped). Close the valve when
only pure fuel emerges. Check the fuel level in the tank,
ensuring that the fuel supply is adequate for unit operation.
Refuel if necessary. Dispose of fuel properly. Don’t drain waste
fuel onto ground.
3. Belts -- Check the belt tension by depressing the belt with your
thumb, near the center of the longest free run of each belt.
Under moderate pressure each belt should deflect
approximately 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13mm). If the belts
deflect more than this they should be tightened (loose belts may
slip, generating heat and reducing belt life). If the belts are too
tight they should be loosened; tight belts can reduce bearing
life.
4. Battery -- on unit equipped with serviceable batteries, the level
of the electrolyte in each of the cells should be checked. If the
level is low, distilled water should be added to the correct level.
Most units, however, are equipped with low or no-maintenance
batteries; these should be inspected to ensure that the
connections are clean and tight, and the battery hold-down
should be checked for tightness.
5. Engine Oil -- the engine oil should be checked last since it is
necessary for oil to drain down from the block and into the oil
pan to obtain a correct reading. Unscrew and remove the
dipstick. Wipe the dipstick clean and insert it into the oil fill tube
without threading it all the way back into the tube. Remove the
dipstick again and check oil level. DO NOT add oil if the level
is in the “safe” range. If needed, add oil as indicated by markings
on dipstick until level is in the “safe” range. (See page 60)

62--10646 52
6. Over-all Unit -- visually inspect the entire unit for leaks, loose
bolts, frayed, loose, or broken wires, etc. The
radiator/condenser coils of the unit should be free of dirt,
insects, cardboard, or any other debris that may obstruct
airflow across the coils. The evaporator (located inside the
trailer) should be free of debris also, especially stretch-wrap,
which is often used during transport to prevent cargo shifting.
7. Start a Pretrip Check (See Page 12).

53 62--10646
PRODUCT LOADING
BEFORE LOADING:
D Pre-cool the trailer. This will remove much of the heat from the
inside of the trailer, and give the product better protection when
it is loaded.
D If possible, Place the unit in a defrost cycle immediately before
loading. This
will remove moisture accumulated on the evaporator coil.
DURING LOADING:
D Place the Start/Run--Off Switch in the Off position.
D Check product temperature during loading.
D Ensure that the air return and supply opening remain
unobstructed.
D Leave approximately 4 to 5 inches (100 to 125 mm) between the
load and the front wall for air return to the unit.
D Leave at least 10 to 12 inches (250 to 300 mm) between the top
of the load and the ceiling to ensure that there is nothing to
prevent airflow to the rear of the body
D Load product on pallets to provide free air return to unit and
improve product protection.
Proper air circulation in the trailer, 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 trailer.
When using pallets, it is important to refrain from stacking extra boxes
on the floor at the rear of the trailer as this will cut off the airflow.

62--10646 54
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 trailer. All products
should be kept away from the side-walls of the body, to allow air 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 warm product.

55 62--10646
PROBLEMS

opened.
2. Turn the top of the manual fuel pump plunger
counter-clockwise to unlock it. S--L--O--W--L--Y (up/down once
per second) pump the manual plunger until positive pressure
(resistance) is felt. This may take up to 200 strokes. This will
indicate fuel flow.
3. Continue to pump S--L--O--W--L--Y (up/down once per second)
approximately 100 more strokes to fill the filter and bleed the air
out of the lines.
4. Start engine. It may be necessary to continue to pump until the
engine starts.
5. Depress and turn the top of the manual plunger clockwise to
lock in place.
