regulations.
When disposing this refrigerant unit do it in an environmentally sound way and in accordance with
current regulations.

CAUTION
Under no circumstances should anyone attempt to repair the Logic or Display
Boards. Should a problem develop with these component, contact your nearest
Carrier Transicold dealer for replacement.
Under no circumstances should a technician electrically probe the processor at any point, other
than the connector terminals where the harness attaches. Microprocessor components operate at
different voltage levels and at extremely low current levels. Improper use of voltmeters, jumper
wires, continuity testers, etc. could permanently damage the processor.
Most electronic components are susceptible to damage caused by electrical static discharge
(ESD). In certain cases, the human body can have enough static electricity to cause resultant
damage to the components by touch. This is especially true of the integrated circuits found on the
truck/trailer microprocessor.

 4. PRODUCT LOADING

Proper air circulation in the trailer body, air that can move around and through the load, is a critical element
in maintaining product quality during transport. If air cannot circulate completely around the load, hot spots or
top--freeze can occur.

The use of pallets is highly recommended. Pallets, when loaded so air can flow freely through the pallets to
return to the evaporator, help protect the product from heat passing through the floor of the truck. When using
pallets, it is important to refrain from stacking extra boxes on the floor at the rear of the truck, because this will
cut off the airflow.

Product stacking is another important factor in protecting the product. Products that generate heat, fruits and
vegetables for example, should be stacked so the air can flow through the product to remove the heat; this
is called “air stacking” the product. Products that do not create heat, meats and frozen products, should be
stacked tightly in the center of the trailer. All products should be kept away from the sidewalls of the body, allo-
wing air to flow between the body and the load; this prevents heat filtering through the walls from affecting the
product.

It is important to check the temperature of the product being loaded to ensure that it is at the correct
temperature for transport. The refrigeration unit is designed to maintain the temperature of the product at the
temperature at which it was loaded; it was not designed to cool a warm product.

OPTIONS FOR INSULATED BODIES

D Mobile partition

The mobile partition must be placed at a minimum distance from the evaporator of :
- 1700 mm for auxiliary evaporator
- 2600 mm for host unit evaporator
D Ducting of evaporator air outlet

Ventilation ducts must never be covered.

SOME ADVICE

Before loading
D Pre--cool the inside of the insulated body by lowering the temperature for about 15 minutes.
D Evacuate the humidity existing inside the box by carrying out a manual defrost. This can only take place
when enabled by the defrost thermostat (box temperature lower than 3_C during pulldown and 8_C during
heating).
D Evaporator fans are protected by safety grills. In the event of heavy duty use of the unit, ice can accumulate
on the grills. It is therefore recommended to clean them regularly by means of a small brush. The operation
MUST be done when the unit has been SHUT DOWN.

When loading
D To be carried out with the unit stopped.
D It is recommended to open doors as little as possible to avoid the intake of hot air and humidity.
D Select the temperature by means of the thermostat, according to the transported goods.
D Check the internal temperature of the goods being loaded (using a probe thermometer).
9
 D Take care not to obstruct the air intakes on
the evaporator section and the ventilation
ducts.
Load spacers
D Leave a free space of about :
- 6 to 8 cm between load and frontwall,
- 20 cm between the top of the load and the
roof,
- between the floor and the load (gratings,
pallets).
Load on pallets D Do not forget to close the doors.

D Before closing the doors, check your load once more and see that nobody is shut inside the box.

NOTE :
For stationnary utilization, we recommend
to place the body in the shade.

IMPORTANT
Never leave your unit more than a month
without running.

5. RECOMMENDED TRANSPORT TEMPERATURES

Below are some general recommendations on product transport temperatures and operating modes for the
unit. These are included for reference only and should not be considered pre--emptive of the setpoint required
by the shipper or receiver.
More detailed information can be obtained from your Carrier Transicold dealer.

 6. QUICK GLANCE ON THE DISPLAY BOARD

6.1. Microprocessor

NOTE
Location of the display board :
Maxima 1000 : fixed on the box / Maxima 1300 : fixed in the bottom cover

Keep the fold out sheet while reading the instructions.

The microprocessor controlled features of this unit provide the most reliable control system currently
available. It is also designed to be the easiest to use, offering great flexibility in control, yet minimal user input
for normal operation -- a true “set it and forget it” design.
1. Standby operation led

2. Fault alarm led

3. Display
shows set-point, box temperature, operating mode, alarm displays, as well as data on the unit itself (battery
voltage, water temperature etc...).
4. Up and Down arrow keys
These enable modification of the set-point. Press the Up and Down arrow keys until the required set-point is
displayed on the left-hand side of the screen. When the correct set-point is displayed, press the ENTER key
to validate. The ARROW KEYS also enable modification of unit functions, and scrolling of FUNCTION and
UNIT DATA.
5. Function change key
enables access to unit programming functions (see p. 18).
6. Unit data key
Pressing this key scrolls a display of the various operating conditions on-screen, for example the temperature
of the engine coolant, or the battery voltage. A more detailed description of the function of this key is given
later in this chapter.
7. Pretrip key
The PRETRIP key initiates the pretrip check of all normal operating modes for Road operation. The
temperature inside the trailer body must be lower than 3˚C 1˚C.
8. Auto Start/Stop-- Continuous key
Switches the operating mode of the unit from Automatic Start/Stop to continuous operation in Road or Standby
modes. When the unit is set to Automatic Start/Stop, it operates in this mode until the box temperature reaches
the set-point, then stops (after operating for the minimum run time).
See page 18 (Function Parameters -- FN3) until a heating or cooling cycle becomes necessary once again
(after minimum off time -- FN2).
In continuous run mode, the unit automatically cycles from heating to cooling modes as required to maintain
the box temperature at the set-point. In the case where the latter is lower than --12˚C, the unit does not heat,
but continuously operates in low speed cooling mode (Maxima 1300 only).
When set to continuous run mode, the unit only shuts off when the Run/Stop switch is moved to the Stop
position, or a unit fault occurs.
11
 9. Manual defrost key
The MANUAL DEFROST key switches the unit to defrost mode. It is not usually necessary to defrost the unit
manually, since it is fitted with a defrost timer and defrost air switch. Manual defrost may be necessary if ice
accumulates on the evaporator after frequency opening the trailer door in damp weather conditions (the DF
message is displayed on-screen).
10. Enter key
This confirms changes entered concerning unit functions. The key enables validation of a change in set-point
made using the Arrow-keys. If the Enter Key is not used, the set-point reverts to its previous value.
The ENTER key also enables validation of a change made to a function parameter. If the Enter Key is not used,
the function reverts to its previous parameter.
11. Run/Stop switch
Controls unit operation. In the Run position, the unit starts up according to the operating mode previously
specified (Road or Standby).
12. Engine/Standby switch
When this switch is set to the ENGINE position, the unit operates in Diesel mode (diesel engine) when the unit
was previously operating in Standby mode.

Important : If the screen display is blank, check the position of the RUN switch (11.) on the box.

7.1. Operating principle

The operation of this self-contained unit is automatic.

7.1.1. In ROAD mode (engine operation)

With Start/Stop
The thermostat controls unit shut-down as soon as the set-point temperature has been reached.

Without Start/Stop
The diesel engine runs continuously. During temperature pulldown it runs at high speed. Down to --12_C, the
box temperature is regulated in low-speed (MAXIMA 1300 only) cool and heat; under --12_C, a safety cut-out
prevents any possibility of heating: this means that as soon as the set--point temperature has been reached
the unit will run in low--speed cool.

NOTE: If a fixed negative temperature selection is required lower than --12_C (e.g. --15_C or --20_C or --25_C),
please contact your local Carrier dealer or service.

7.1.2. In STANDBY mode

With Start/Stop
The thermostat controls unit shut--down as soon as the set--point temperature has been reached.

Without Start/Stop
The unit will run continuously :
cool / heat for setpoint above --12_C
only cool for setpoint below --12_C

7.1.3. In DEFROST mode

The unit is equipped with an automatic defrost.

Triggering of the defrost cycle is controlled by a differential pressure air switch; shut--down of the defrost cycle
is controlled by two defrost termination thermostats. The defrost cycle can also be controlled manually. During
the defrost cycle the evaporator blower is off.
13
 7.2. Petrip 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 “on the road” problems. These checks take only a few minutes.

1. Place the unit’s main power switch to the Stop 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. 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.

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 6 mm to 13 mm
(1/4 inch to 1/2 inch). 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 units 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 maintenance--free 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 chec-

ked last, since oil has to drain out of the
block and into the oil pan to obtain a correct
reading. Remove the dip--stick (1), wipe it
clean and re--insert it fully into the engine
block. Once again, remove the dip--stick
and observe the oil level; it should be
1
somewhere between the ”full” and ”add”
marks. If it is below the add mark, add oil
until the level is correct.

6. Coolant level -- Visually inspect the coolant level in the coolant bottle (located on the upper left-hand
side of the unit).

7. Over-- all Unit inspection -- Visually inspect the entire unit for leaks, loose bolts, frayed, loose, or bro-
ken wires, etc. The radiator and condenser coils of the unit should be free of dirt, bugs, cardboard, or
any other debris that may obstruct airflow across the coils. The evaporator (located inside the body)
should be free of debris also, especially stretch--wrap, which is often used during transport to prevent
cargo from shifting.

8. Truck body -- The body should be inspected prior to loading. Check the door and vent seals for damage
and wear. Inspect the entire interior and exterior of the body to detect any damage, including the inner
and outer skins of the body. Damage to the insulation may compromise the unit’s ability to maintain the
product temperature by increasing the amount of heat gain in the box.

9. Pretrip -- Initiate a pretrip by pressing the PRETRIP Key.

14
 7.3. Starting the unit - Road operation

1. Complete the PRETRIP inspection described in the previous section.

2. If the unit was previously operating in STANDBY mode, place the switch (12.) to the ENGINE position.
3. Place the RUN/STOP switch (11.) to the RUN position.

NOTE
Under normal operating circumstances, this is all that is required to start the unit.
The microprocessor initiates a unit pretrip check, initiates preheating for a period determined by the
temperature of the engine coolant, and automatically starts the unit.

7.4. Starting the unit - Standby operation

1. Check that the unit is connected to a suitable electricity supply (See section 7.4.1.)

2. Place the Standby switch (12.) to STANDBY.

3. Place the RUN/STOP switch (11.) to the RUN position.

NOTE
THE UNIT NOW OPERATES ON STANDBY. SEE THE TABLE ON PAGE 15 FOR INFORMATION
ABOUT THE APPROPRIATE WIRING.

7.4.1. Standby operation guidelines

For safe, reliable operation in Standby mode, it is important to consider the following guidelines :
a. NEVER plug the unit in to the power source with the main switch in
the RUN position. The main switch should always be in the STOP
position when connecting the unit to the power source.

b. The extension cable and fuse used for network connection must
comply with the legislation currently applicable on the site of use
(minimum H07 RNF CEI 245--4) and with the unit specifications as

 10. A.T.P. EUROPE REGULATION EXTRACT

(Date: March 1974)

Approval of vehicles intended for the carriage of perishable goods.
Before putting a refrigerated vehicle into service, it is necessary to have it approved by the Regional Health
Department.
CHARACTERISTICS OF VEHICLES USED FOR CARRYING PERISHABLE GOODS; REFRIGERATION
UNIT.
The refrigeration unit is an insulated unit with a cooling system which makes it possible, with a mean outside
temperature of +30˚C, to lower the temperature inside the empty body and to maintain this low temperature
in the following way:

CLASS A Refrigeration unit furnished with a cooling system whereby a temperature between
+12˚C and 0˚C inclusive can be chosen.

CLASS B Refrigeration unit furnished with a cooling system whereby a temperature between
+12˚C and --10˚C inclusive can be chosen.

CLASS C Refrigeration unit furnished with a cooling system whereby a temperature between
+12˚C and --20˚C inclusive can be chosen.

The cooling capacity of a unit is determined by a test carried out in one of the approved testing stations and
ratified by an official report.
Note: The “K“ factor of bodies intended to be classified as C must be equal to or lower than 0.4 W/m2˚C.

SIGNS, IDENTIFICATION MARKS AND PLATES TO BE ATTACHED TO REFRIGERATION UNITS

Refrigeration Plate : this reference must be followed by identification marks according to the following list:

Standard refrigeration unit Class A FNA

Reinforced refrigeration unit Class A FRA
Reinforced refrigeration unit Class B FRB
Reinforced refrigeration unit Class C FRC
In addition to the above identification marks, the date (month and year) of expiry of the approval certificate must
be indicated.

Example :
6 = month (June)
FRC
2003 = year
6--2003

VERY IMPORTANT

Regularly check the expiry date of the approval certificate. During transport, the approval certificate or
provisional certificate should be shown on request of qualified agents. To have an insulated unit approved as
a refrigeration unit, an application to modify the approval certificate should be sent to the regional health office.
