Recover Refrigerant
N o t e : In the USA, EPA Section 609 Certification is required to work on motor vehicle air conditioning systems (MVAC).
At Thermo King®, we recognize the need to preserve the environment and limit the potential harm to the ozone layer
that can result from allowing refrigerant to escape into the atmosphere.
We strictly adhere to a policy that promotes the recovery and limits the loss of refrigerant into the atmosphere.
When working on transport temperature control systems, a recovery process that prevents or minimizes refrigerant
loss to the atmosphere is required by law. In addition, service personnel must be aware of the appropriate European
Union, National, Federal, State, and/or Local regulations governing the use of refrigerants and certification of
technicians. For additional information on regulations and technician programs, contact your local THERMO KING
dealer.
S e r v i c e T o o l s - Use the proper service tools. Gauge manifold sets should include appropriate shutoff valves or
disconnects near the end of each service line.
R e c o v e r y E q u i p m e n t - Recovery equipment must be used. Proper recovering, storing and recycling of refrigerants is
an important part of all service work.
S e r v i c e P r o c e d u r e s - Recommended procedures must be used to minimize refrigerant loss.
C o m p o n e n t s m a y b e i s o l a t e d by closing service valves and performing system pump-downs.
C o m p o n e n t s u n a b l e t o b e i s o l a t e d for service must be repaired only after refrigerant is properly recovered.

Section 1 - Safety Information
Danger, Warning, Caution, and Notice
Thermo King® recommends that all service be performed by a Thermo King dealer and to be aware of several general
safety practices.
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required (refer to examples below). Your personal safety and the
proper operation of this unit depend upon the strict observance of these precautions.
DANGER
Example!
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Example!
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Example!
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury and
unsafe practices.
NOTICE
Example!
Indicates a situation that could result in equipment or property-damage only accidents.
General Practices
DANGER
Hazard of Explosion!
Never apply heat to a sealed refrigeration system or container. Heat increases internal pressure, which might
cause an explosion resulting in death or serious injury.
DANGER
Hazardous Gases!
Refrigerant in the presence of an open flame, spark, or electrical short produces toxic gases that are severe
respiratory irritants which can cause serious injury or possible death.
DANGER
Risk of Injury!
Keep your hands, clothing, and tools clear of fans and/or belts when working on a unit that is running or when
opening or closing compressor service valves. Loose clothing might entangle moving pulleys or belts, causing
serious injury or possible death.
DANGER
Refrigerant Vapor Hazard!
Do not inhale refrigerant. Use caution when working with refrigerant or a refrigeration system in any confined
area with a limited air supply. Refrigerant displaces air and can cause oxygen depletion, resulting in
suffocation and possible death.
20 TK 56487-2-OD-EN
Section 1 - Safety Information
DANGER
Confined Space Hazards!
Avoid engine operation in confined spaces and areas or circumstances where fumes from the engine could
become trapped and cause serious injury or death.
WARNING
Hazard of Explosion!
Never close the compressor discharge service valve when the unit is operating. Never operate the unit with
the discharge valve closed (front seated). This condition increases internal pressure, which can cause an
explosion.
WARNING
Proper Equipment Condition!
Gauge manifold hoses m ust be in good condition before using them. Never let them come in contact with
moving belts, fans, pulleys or hot surfaces. Defective gauge equipment can damage components or cause
serious injury.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Always wear goggles or safety glasses when working on a unit. Refrigerant liquid, oil, and battery acid can
permanently damage your eyes. See “First Aid”.
WARNING
Equipment Damage and Risk of Injury!
Never drill holes into the unit unless instructed by Thermo King. Holes drilled into high voltage cables could
cause an electrical fire, severe personal injury, or even death.
WARNING
Risk of Injury!
When using ladders to install or service refrigeration systems, always observe the ladder manufacturer’s
safety labels and warnings. A work platform or scaffolding is the recommended method for installations and
servicing.
CAUTION
Sharp Edges!
Exposed coil fins can cause lacerations. Service work on the evaporator or condenser coils is best left to a
certified Thermo King technician.
NOTICE
Equipment Damage!
All mounting bolts must be the correct length for their applications and torqued to specification. Incorrect bolt
lengths and improper torque specifications can damage equipment.
TK 56487-2-OD-EN 21
Section 1 - Safety Information

battery before servicing the unit.
Electrical Hazards
High Voltage
I m p o r t a n t : Do not move the vehicle if the power cable or the electric standby icon is illuminated.
DANGER
Hazardous Voltage!
Lethal amounts of voltage are present in some electrical circuits. Use extreme care when working on an
operating refrigeration unit.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Treat all wires and connections as if they were high voltage until a meter and wiring diagram indicate
otherwise. Only use tools with insulated handles. Never hold uninsulated metal tools near exposed, energized
conductors.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Never work alone on high voltage circuits in the refrigeration unit. Another person should be nearby to shut
off the unit and provide aid in the event of an accident.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Safety glasses, rubber-insulated gloves, and cable cutters should be near your work area in the event of an
electrical accident.
WARNING
Risk of Injury!
Do not make rapid moves when working on high voltage circuits in refrigeration units. Do not grab for falling
tools because you might accidentally touch a high voltage source.
22 TK 56487-2-OD-EN
Section 1 - Safety Information
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Be careful when working with electrical circuits that contain capacitors. Some capacitors hold a significant
electrical charge that might cause burns or shocks if accidentally discharged. Capacitors must be discharged
before working on electrical circuits.
Low Voltage
WARNING
Live Electrical Components!
Control circuits used in refrigeration units are low voltage (12 to 24 volts dc). However, the large amount of
amperage available can cause severe burns if accidentally shorted to ground with metal objects, such as tools.
Do not wear jewelry, watches, or rings because they increase the risk of shorting out electrical circuits and
damaging equipment or causing severe burns.
NOTICE
Equipment Damage!
When working with electrical circuits that contain microprocessors, always wear an ESD wrist strap and
connect the opposite end to the chassis ground or CH terminal. This precaution will prevent electrostatic
discharge from damaging circuits.
Battery
Always disconnect the negative battery terminal (-) first when removing a battery. Connect the positive terminal (+) first
when installing a battery. This is important because the frame is grounded to the negative battery terminal. If the
negative terminal is still connected, a complete circuit exists from the positive terminal of the battery to the frame.
Metal objects contacting the positive side and the frame simultaneously will cause sparks or arcing. If there are
sufficient hydrogen gases emitted from the battery, an explosion might occur, causing equipment damage, serious
injury, even death.
Always cover battery terminals to prevent them from making contact with metal components.
Welding
Precautions must be taken before welding on the unit. Refer to Service Procedure A26A Welding on Units Equipped
with Microprocessors in Section 6 for additional information.
TK 56487-2-OD-EN 23
Section 1 - Safety Information
CAUTION

Dangerous three phase AC electric power is present whenever the unit is operating in either Diesel Mode or
Electric Mode and whenever the unit is connected to a source of external standby power. Voltages of this
magnitude can be lethal. Exercise extreme caution when working on the unit.
The SR-3 control system is a self-contained temperature control unit designed for truck and trailer applications. Model
30 units are powered by a diesel engine and Model 50 units are powered by either a diesel engine or an electric motor
powered from an external electric standby power source. The unit mounts on the nose of the trailer. Defrost is by
means of hot gas.
Control System
The SR-3 Base Controller Control System consists of the following main components:
• Base Controller On/Off Switch
• Human Machine Interface (HMI) Control Panel
• SR-3 Base Controller
• Unit Sensors and Transducers
• Refrigeration Control Components
• Communication Ports
• Optional Electric Standby

Control Components
SR-3 Base Controller
The heart of the integrated SR-3 control system is the Base Controller. The SR-3 Base Controller consists of a combined
microprocessor and interface board. The SR-3 Base Controller is mounted on a molded plastic mounting base that is
secured to the back of the control box.
The SR-3 Base Controller is compatible with and may be used to replace the combined SR-2 Base Controller and
Interface Board assembly. The SR-3 Base Controller mounting base uses the same mounting hole pattern as does the
SR-2 Base Controller. The connectors on the SR-3 Base Controller are located in approximately the same positions as
they are on an SR-2 Interface Board. However, when replacing an SR-2 Base Controller/Interface Board with an SR-3
Base Controller, the wiring harness may need to be relocated slightly to reach the some of the connectors.
It is critical that the correct software be used. Single temperature applications with SR-3 Base Controllers must use Base
Controller Software Revision D0xx/DAxx.
Refer to Section 7 of this manual for additional hardware and software details and requirements.
SR-3 HMI Control Panel
System conditions are displayed and operator instructions are sent using the SR-3 HMI Control Panel. The HMI Control
Panel communicates with the Base Controller via CAN bus.
The SR-3 Control System uses essentially the same HMI Control Panel as does the SR-2 Control System. However, SR-3
HMI Control Panels feature 8 MB of memory and are marked Smart Reefer 3 on the lower front panel.
The SR-2 HMI Control Panel features 4 MB of memory. Other than memory, the SR-3 HMI Control Panel is compatible
with and may be used to replace the SR-2 HMI Control Panel.
N o t e : If the SR-2 HMI Control Panel is replaced with an SR-3 HMI Control Panel, 65xx, 66xx, 67xx, 68xx series software
must be used.
• SR-2 HMI requires 65xx, 66xx, 67xx, 68/7Exx series software.
• SR-3 HMI requires 65xx, 75/7Bxx, 76/7Cxx, 77/7Dxx, 68/7Exx series software.
• SR-3 HMI Control Panels used on SR-3 applications without USB capability must use HMI Control Panel Software
Revision 6550 or later.
• SR-3 HMI Control Panels used on SR-3 applications with USB capability must use HMI Control Panel Software
Revision 6560 or later.
Refer to Section 7 of this manual for additional hardware and software details and requirements.

Section 2 - Hardware Description
The Microprocessor On/Off Switch applies 12 volts DC control power to the Base Controller (SR-3)/Interface Board (SR-
2) at connector J4. Main power to the controls is supplied by 15 amp fuse F2.
I m p o r t a n t : Always turn the Microprocessor On/Off switch off before inspecting or working on any part of the unit.
N o t e : The Microprocessor On/Off switch disconnects power to the controller and most controller outputs. It does not
disconnect the HMI Control Panel supply power. The HMI Control Panel is directly connected to the unit starting
battery.
On SLX/SLXe/SLXi Series units, the Microprocessor On/Off switch is located on a bracket just above the diesel engine. It
can be reached by opening the engine compartment doors.
Figure 3. Microprocessor On/Off Switch
Over-Current Protection
Over-current protection is provided by a fusible link located in the positive battery cable. A 15 amp main power fuse F2
is located in the “2A/2AB” circuit.
Outputs are protected by either a fuse or Smart FET (Field Effect Transistor). All fuses are located on the Base Controller
(SR-3). Smart FETs halt current flow if an over-current condition exists and generate an alarm. The Smart FET will
resume normal operation when the alarm is cleared and current flow is within limits. Smart FETs are not field
repairable.
A polyswitch provides over-current protection for the On/Off relay. It is located just above Relay K8 (SR-3). The
polyswitch will reset automatically and is not field repairable.
The Human Machine Interface (HMI) Control Panel consists of an LCD graphics display screen and eight touch sensitive
keys.
• The four keys on the sides of the display screen are used to turn the unit on and off, initiate a manual defrost cycle,
and select the desired operating mode. These keys are designated “Hard” keys as their function is always the same.
• The function of the four keys located below the display screen change as required by the current menu. The current
function of the key is controlled by software and is displayed directly above the key. These keys are known as
software controlled keys or “Soft” keys.
• The same HMI Control Panel is used for single temperature and multi-temperature applications.

™ Data Logger
CargoWatch™
N o t e : For SLX/SLXe/SLXi Series Units: Two CargoWatch Data Logger sensors are included with the unit. One
CargoWatch Sensor is factory mounted in the return air inlet. The other sensor is included in the unit installation
kit and is intended to be installed in the discharge air outlet or discharge air chute. Refer to the unit Installation
Manual for additional information.
The HMI Control Panel contains the CargoWatch Data Logger. The CargoWatch Data Logger is a fully independent
temperature logger. Up to six temperature sensors and 3 digital inputs can be connected to the CargoWatch Data
Logger. The optional CargoWatch temperature sensors are separate sensors installed as required by each user. The
CargoWatch Data Logger records CargoWatch temperature sensors, unit setpoint, unit operating condition, and alarm
codes.
The Countdown and Conservative features allow the CargoWatch Data Logger to continue to log after the unit is turned
off. Refer to CargoWatch Sensor Configuration in Section 3 for details of operation.
Programmable Features
The settings of all programmable features are held in non-volatile memory in the Base Controller. The settings are
supplied to the HMI Control Panel each time the unit is turned on. If the HMI Control Panel is changed, the current
programmable feature settings will be supplied to the HMI Control Panel when the unit is turned on.
Display Heater
The HMI Control Panel is equipped with a display heater. This heater is necessary to make the display quickly visible in
cold ambient temperatures.
The HMI has its own internal temperature sensor for the display heater. The display heater is energized when the unit is
turned on and the temperature sensed by the internal sensor is below -2°C (29°F). The display heater turns off when the
temperature sensed by the internal sensor rises above 3°C (37°F). The display heater draws from 1.4 to 1.7 amps when
energized.
The colder the ambient temperature the longer it will take for the heater to make the display visible on a cold startup. It
may take 10-15 seconds for the display to appear with very cold ambient temperatures.

CargoWatch™
The CargoWatch Data Logger is part of the HMI Control Panel. The CargoWatch Data Logger conforms to European
standard EN12830. The Data Logger supports up to six temperature sensors and four digital inputs.
The sensors used for the CargoWatch Data Logger are RTD thermistor-type sensors that differ from the sensors used
for unit control. The CargoWatch sensors are connected directly to the HMI Control Panel.
I m p o r t a n t : The CargoWatch sensors ARE NOT interchangeable with the unit temperature sensors.
CargoWatch sensors can be identified by:
• No shrink tubing over sensor barrel
• Shorter sensor barrel than unit sensors
• No sensor grades
• The sensor is not polarity sensitive
• Both wires are black
Figure 12. CargoWatch Sensor - No Shrink Tubing
CargoWatch thermistor type sensors change resistance as the temperature changes. Resistance values can be
measured using a high quality ohmmeter and are shown in the table below.
N o t e : These resistance values only apply to CargoWatch sensors.
Table 16. CargoWatch Sensor Resistance vs Temperature
Diagnostic Procedure
1. Disconnect the sensor to be tested from the sensor harness at the 12 pin Deutsch connector in the evaporator
compartment.
2. Using a high quality meter, check the sensor resistance.
a. The sensor resistance is dependant on the sensor temperature as shown (Table 16, p. 48). The measured sensor
resistance should approximate the value shown for the current sensor temperature.
b. If the sensor resistance does not match (Table 16, p. 48), the sensor must be replaced.
3. If the resistance measured in the previous step is correct, proceed to Step 4. If the resistance measured is not
correct, replace the sensor.
4. Using a high quality meter, check the voltage at the sensor harness wires at the 12 pin Deutsch connector in the
evaporator compartment.
a. The voltage from the HMI Control Panel should be 2.5 Vdc with the sensor disconnected.
5. If the voltage measured in the previous step is correct, proceed to Step 7. If the voltage measured is not correct,
proceed to Step 6.
6. If the voltage measured in Step 4 is incorrect, unplug the 35 pin connector at the HMI Control Panel and check the
harness for shorts and open wires.
a. Perform a wiring harness continuity test and repair as required.

Section 3 - Software Description
Software Operation
The software is a very complex set of instructions used by the Base Controller and HMI Control Panel to control the
refrigeration system and interface with the operator. The Base Controller and HMI Control Panel microprocessors
examine the conditions of all the inputs and compare them to the instructions contained in the software. The outputs
are then energized as specified by the software instructions.
There is no way to determine from the schematic or wiring diagrams what conditions will cause the unit to operate in a
particular mode. This decision is made by the software after examining all the input conditions and setpoint. However,
operating mode can generally be deduced from the existing conditions. As an example, if a 2°C (35°F) setpoint is
selected and the box temperature, as indicated by the return air sensor is 16°C (60°F), the unit should operate in Cool
mode when turned on.
N o t e : For the most accurate software information, refer to the applicable software related Service Bulletin.
The SR-3 system utilizes the following software:
• Base Controller software D0xx/DAxx.
• HMI Control Panel software 65/75/7Bxx, 66/76/7Cxx, 67/77/7Dxx, 68/7Exx.
Base Controller and HMI Control Panel software updates are flash loaded using the Wintrac™ Service Tool. To check
the Base Controller or HMI Control Panel software revisions, refer to Section 4. For software revision details, refer to
Section 7.
Software Separation
Due to the difficulty in managing the increasing number of unit configurations and diverging platforms, Thermo King
has decided to separate the software between SB Series and SLX/SLXe/SLXi Series trailer platforms. This will help to
reduce the development timelines and software scopes for future trailer units.
DA00 and 7B00 are the first software revisions with this separation. They are based on D091 and 75C2 software
revisions but with additional changes/features.

Description Standard restart alarms become permanent shutdown alarms after several attempts to start and run. The CONTINUOUS
feature is designed for rail applications where the unit runs unattended or is inaccessible for service. It allows unlimited
restart attempts to be made if the following restart alarms occur:
• Alarm Code 10 High Discharge Pressure
• Alarm Code 18 High Engine Coolant Temp
• Alarm Code 63 Engine Stopped
• Alarm Code 82 High Compressor Temp
If restarts are disabled, the unit will shut down on the first alarm event. The following differences exist between a Standard
Restart and a Continuous Restart alarm:
• Standard Restart alarms force a permanent shutdown if the alarm occurs a pre-determined number of times (usually
three). Continuous Restart alarms allow an unlimited number of restarts for the four alarm codes listed above.
• Standard Restart alarms typically use a 15 minute timer before a restart is allowed. Continuous Restart alarms use a 1-
hour timer before a restart is allowed.
• With Continuous Restart alarms ETV Head Pressure Setpoint is lowered based on the alarm type and number of
occurrences.
Exceptions If OptiSet Plus is active, the HMI Control Panel will display [Programmed in OptiSet Plus] and this feature cannot be changed
from the Guarded Access Menu. The Setpoint High Limit setting selected is used for all ranges.
Description Setpoint High Limit allows the upper setpoint limit to be set to a maximum of 32°C (90°F) in one degree increments. The
minimum setting is determined by the setting of Setpoint Low Limit. If the driver attempts to select a setpoint higher than
the Setpoint High Limit, the display will show Setpoint Limit, indicating that the selected Setpoint High Limit has been
reached. Setting Setpoint High Limit and Setpoint Low Limit to the same temperature results in a single setpoint
temperature available.
Exceptions If OptiSet Plus is active, the HMI Control Panel will display [Programmed in OptiSet Plus] and this feature cannot be changed
from the Guarded Access Menu. The Setpoint Low Limit setting selected is used for all ranges.
Description Setpoint Low Limit allows the lower setpoint limit to be set to a minimum of -34°C (-30°F) in one degree increments. The
maximum setting is determined by the setting of Setpoint High Limit. If the driver attempts to select a setpoint lower than
the Setpoint Low Limit, the display will show Setpoint Limit, indicating that the selected Setpoint Low Limit has been
reached. Setting Setpoint High Limit and Setpoint Low Limit to the same temperature results in a single setpoint
temperature available.
Setpoint temperatures lower than -32°C (-25°F) should only be used when absolutely required by the load.

Section 3 - Software Description
Fuel Saver II
Control Rev D000 and later
Exceptions If OptiSet Plus is active the HMI Control Panel will display [Programmed in OptiSet Plus] and this feature cannot be changed
from the Guarded Access Menu.
Description If Fuel Saver II is ENABLED, and the box temperature changes a predetermined amount from setpoint in Cycle Sentry Mode
operation, or if the box temperature indicates a need for high speed in Continuous Mode operation, the unit will first run in
low speed. An 8-minute timer is started and the control sensor air temperature is monitored. As long as the temperature
falls (in cool mode operation) or rises (in heat mode operation) a specified amount before the timer expires, the 8-minute
timer is reset and low speed operation continues. If the temperature has not changed the pre-determined amount when the
timer times out, high speed operation is resumed if allowed. This provides fuel savings by delaying high speed operation, yet
assures that the temperature continues to fall or rise as required to reach setpoint.
If the unit switches to high speed from FS-II, the unit will run in high speed until setpoint is reached. If FS-II is DISABLED,
high speed cool and high speed heat are allowed with no delay.
The FS-II feature does not apply to modulation operation.
Exceptions If OptiSet Plus is active, the HMI Control Panel will display [Programmed in OptiSet Plus] and this feature cannot be changed
from the Guarded Access Menu.
Description This feature allows High Speed Pull Down to be ENABLED or DISABLED. If High Speed Pull Down is ENABLED, the unit will run
in high speed on initial start until setpoint is reached in both cool and heat mode. If High Speed Pull Down is DISABLED, the
unit will switch to low speed cool when the return air temperature is below low speed switch point value plus setpoint.
Note: There is a two minute delay on initial startup before high speed operation is allowed.
If Fuel Saver II is ENABLED, there may be a delay before high speed operation is allowed.
This feature does not apply to modulation operation.
Exceptions If OptiSet Plus is active, the HMI Control Panel will display [Programmed in OptiSet Plus] and this feature cannot be changed
from the Guarded Access Menu. The setting selected is used for all ranges.
Description One set of general control specifications is used when operating in the Fresh range, and another set of general operating
specifications is used when operating in the Frozen range. This feature allows the line between Fresh and Frozen ranges to
be selected as either -9°C (15°F) or -4°C (24°F). All setpoints less than or equal to this value will be treated as frozen
ranges. All setpoints greater than this value will be treated as Fresh ranges.
The Frozen setpoint range is from the limit of the Setpoint Limit Low setting to the Fresh Frozen range setting. The Fresh
setpoint range is from the limit of the Fresh Frozen range +1 degree to the setpoint high limit setting.
When programming OptiSet Plus, no range may include both Frozen and Fresh range setpoints. This value is the high value
of the last frozen range programmed. The next range programmed will start at this value + 1 degree depending on the
selection made above. Changing this feature will reset all OptiSet Plus range values to default.
TK 56487-2-OD-EN 69
Section 3 - Software Description
Exceptions If OptiSet Plus is active, the HMI Control Panel will display [Programmed in OptiSet Plus] and this feature cannot be changed
from the Guarded Access Menu. The optional door switch must be installed.
Description This feature allows the Door Open action to be set. If this feature is set to LOG ONLY, the door opening will be logged after
four seconds but the unit will continue to run. Door openings are logged in both the CargoWatch and ServiceWatch data
loggers. The door switch must be open or closed for four seconds before the event is logged to prevent false readings.
If this feature is set to UNIT NULL, the base controller shuts the unit down and logs the door opening four seconds after the
door is opened. If the unit is in defrost when the door is opened, the defrost cycle will be completed before the unit shuts
down. If the Door Open Timeout feature has been set for a door open time, the unit will restart and run if the time specified
by Door Open Timeout is exceeded. The unit will continue to run even if the door is still open. The event is logged in both the
CargoWatch and ServiceWatch data loggers.
If this feature is set to HIGH SPEED LOCKOUT, high speed operation is locked out and the unit will run in low speed only. If
the Door Open Timeout feature has been set for a door open time, the unit will return to normal operation and run in high
speed if needed when the time specified by Door Open Timeout is exceeded. The event is logged in both the CargoWatch and
ServiceWatch data loggers.
Exceptions If OptiSet Plus is active, the HMI Control Panel will display [Programmed in OptiSet Plus] and this feature cannot be changed
from the Guarded Access Menu. The optional door switch must be installed. Only appears if the DOOR OPEN FORCES feature
is set to UNIT NULL or UNIT NULL – NO ALARM.
Description This feature allows the unit to restart if the door open time exceeds the set limit.
Door Open Timeout can be set to OFF or for a time limit from 1 to 4 hours, in 10-minute increments. If set to OFF, the unit will
remain off until the door is closed. If the Door Open Timeout feature has been set for a door open time, the unit will restart
and run and Alarm Code 108 Door Open Timeout will be set as a Check Alarm if the time specified by Door Open Timeout is
exceeded. The unit will continue to run even if the door is still open. The event is logged in both the CargoWatch and
ServiceWatch data loggers.
Exceptions The optional door switch must be installed and the Door Open Timeout must be set for a door open time.
Description This feature allows the door open timeout alarm (Alarm Code 108) to be enabled or disabled. Alarm Code 108 is a Check
Alarm.
If this feature is set to DISABLED, Alarm Code 108 Door Open Timeout is not set when the door open time exceeds the Door
Open Timeout setting.
If this feature is set to ENABLED, Alarm Code 108 Door Open Timeout is set when the door open time exceeds the Door Open
Timeout setting.

Exceptions The optional fuel level switch must be installed in order to use the Fuel Conserve Mode feature.
Description If the unit is a rail application, this feature is ENABLED. When the optional customer fuel level switch closes (supplies chassis
ground to the base controller fuel level input), the unit will enter a Fuel Conserve Mode where the unit is forced to low speed
operation only.
If the unit is not a rail application, this feature should be DISABLED.
Important: If RAIL OPTION is ENABLED, the fuel level switch will cause the unit to enter a full conserve mode only. The Low
Fuel Shutdown Feature is not available if RAIL OPTION is ENABLED.
Rail Alternate
Control Rev D000 and later
Description This feature changes the alerts criteria, defrost allowed temperature, and defrost termination temperature. It should only be
used when specified by the customer. If rail alternate is enabled, a defrost cycle is allowed with an evaporator coil
temperature less than or equal to 13°C (55°F) and terminates at 21°C (70°F).
Description The Air Chute Detect feature is designed to detect a blocked or improperly installed trailer air chute. Spare sensor 1 is
located at the rear of the trailer and directly in the air flow at the end of the chute. The temperature detected by this sensor is
compared to the temperature detected by the control discharge air temperature sensor. This feature functions only during
cool mode operation.
If this temperature differential exceeds a user defined number of degrees for a user defined period of time, Alarm Code 46
CHECK AIR FLOW is generated as a check alarm. If the trailer is equipped with a door switch and the feature is enabled,
monitoring ceases when the door is opened and is resumed 45 minutes after the door is closed. When the unit enters a
defrost cycle, monitoring ceases and is resumed 45 minutes after the defrost cycle terminates. Should the control discharge
temperature sensor or Spare sensor 1 fail the Air Chute Detect feature is disabled.
TK 56487-2-OD-EN 71
Section 3 - Software Description
Description This feature selects the temperature differential, from the front to the back of the trailer that must be exceeded to cause an
alarm to occur. The temperature differential is calculated using the control discharge air sensor and spare sensor 1. This
temperature differential must exist for the time specified by Blocked Air Chute Time To Alarm in order to set Alarm Code 46
Check Air Flow.
Description This feature selects the time interval that must be exceeded to cause Alarm Code 46 Check Air Flow to occur. This condition
must exist with a temperature differential, in excess of that specified by Blocked Air Chute Temperature Differential, in order
to set Alarm Code 46 Check Air Flow.
Description This feature determines if a door switch should interrupt the operation of the Blocked Air Chute Detect feature. If set
ENABLED, monitoring ceases when the door is opened and is resumed 45 minutes after the door is closed. If set DISABLED,
monitoring is not interrupted when a door opens.
Description This feature allows the head pressure setpoint to be adjusted. This pressure determines when the base controller will enter a
temporary operating mode to prevent unit shutdown. Do not change this setting unless instructed to do so.
Description This feature allows the water temperature setpoint to be adjusted. This temperature determines when the base controller
will enter a temporary operating mode to prevent unit shutdown. Do not change this setting unless instructed to do so.
72 TK 56487-2-OD-EN
Section 3 - Software Description
Exceptions Does not appear unless rail is disabled and restarts are enabled.

Choices ON or OFF
Factory Set ON
TK 56487-2-OD-EN 89
Section 3 - Software Description
Description This feature allows Fuel Saver II for the selected range to be turned On or Off.
If Fuel Saver II is On, and the box temperature changes a predetermined amount from setpoint in Cycle Sentry mode
operation, or temperature indicates a need for high speed in Continuous mode operation, the unit will first run in low speed.
An 8-minute timer is started and the control sensor air temperature is monitored. As long as the temperature falls (in cool
mode operation) or rises (in heat mode operation) a specified amount before the timer expires, the 8-minute timer is reset
and low speed operation continues. If the temperature has not changed the pre-determined amount when the timer times
out, high speed operation resumes, if allowed. This provides fuel savings by delaying high speed operation.
If the unit switches to high speed from FS-II the unit will run in high speed until setpoint is reached.
If Fuel Saver II is turned Off there is still a two-minute delay on initial startup before high speed operation is allowed. If OFF
high speed cool and high speed heat is allowed with no delay.
Choices ON or OFF
Description If set On, this feature limits the temperature of the discharge air to prevent top freeze on units without an Electronic
Throttling Valve (ETV). This feature can impact the unit’s ability to reach setpoint.
If set Off, standard return air control is used.
Exceptions Not active if modulation is enabled. This feature may not be available with all profiles.
Description The Low Speed Cool to Low Speed Cool FS II Switch Point is the Low Speed Cool to High Speed Cool Switch Point -16.9°C
(1.5°F).
If enabled, the Low Speed Cool FS II to High Speed Cool Switch Point will always be the Low Speed Cool to Low Speed Cool
FS II Switch Point 1.9°C (3.5°F).
Controlling Sensor
Control Rev D000 and later
Description Modulation provides very smooth and steady temperature control. Modulation is only operational in Continuous Mode.
This feature determines the controlling sensor used during modulation operation, either the Return Air Temperature Sensor
or Discharge Air Temperature Sensor.
During Return Air Modulation, the discharge air temperature is limited to the programmed floor limit. The floor limit is equal
to setpoint minus the setting of the FreshSet Floor Limit feature. This provides additional protection from freezing for
sensitive loads.
During Discharge Air Modulation, the discharge air temperature is controlled to the setpoint.
90 TK 56487-2-OD-EN
Section 3 - Software Description
PMAX
Control Rev D000 and later
Choices ON or OFF
Factory Set ON
Description This feature determines the modulation pull down control algorithm used. This feature is only available with return air
temperature control. The floor limit algorithm is always used with discharge air control.
If PMAX is set On, modulation pull down control is governed by the 160°C Minute (300°F Minute) algorithm. During pull
down, the unit is in full cool and the discharge air temperature is allowed to drop below the programmed floor limit for a
defined period of time. This option provides the fastest pull down while minimizing the potential for product top freezing.
MAX pull down example: If the discharge air is 8°C (15°F) below setpoint the unit will operate in full cool for 20 minutes
before entering modulation cool e.g., 8°C x 20 minutes = 160°C Minutes (15°F x 20 minutes = 300°F Minutes).
If PMAX is set Off, modulation pull down control is governed by the Floor Limit pull down algorithm. During Floor Limit pull
down the unit will operate in high speed but will control the discharge air temperature to the programmed Floor Limit. After
the pull down conditions are satisfied the unit will switch to low speed modulation. This option provides a fast pull down while
eliminating the potential for product top freezing with fragile commodities.
Freeze Protection
Control Rev D000 and later
Choices ON or OFF
Description The freeze protection mode controls the Discharge Air Temperature to 1.7°C (35°F) minus the programmed limit.
It is a subset of return air modulation control. It is designed for higher temperature setpoints that have a high refrigeration
load or are transported in a lightly insulated trailer.
Choices OFF, 29°C to 46°C in 3°C increments (85°F to 115°F in 5°F increments)
Exceptions
Description If a temperature is selected and the ambient temperature is above the selected value, the unit will run in high speed
modulation for 100 minutes. This ensures adequate air flow throughout the trailer to prevent hot or cold spots and provide
more even temperature control. As a result, longer periods of high speed operation may be observed. This is normal
operation when the feature is enabled.
If the feature is set OFF there is no change in unit operation.
Choices OFF, -15°C to 1.7°C in 3°C Increments (5°F to 35°F in 5°F Increments)
TK 56487-2-OD-EN 91
Section 3 - Software Description
Exceptions
Description If a temperature is selected and the ambient temperature is below the selected value, the unit will run in high speed
modulation for 100 minutes. This ensures adequate air flow throughout the trailer to prevent hot or cold spots and provide
more even temperature control. As a result, longer periods of high speed operation may be observed. This is normal
operation when the feature is enabled.
If the feature is set OFF there is no change in unit operation.
Floor Limit
Control Rev D000 and later
Description This feature allows the minimum discharge air temperature during return air modulation to be programmed. The discharge
air temperature is limited to the programmed limit to provide additional protection from freezing for sensitive loads.
For example, with a 1.7°C (35°F) setpoint and a 1.4°C (2.5°F) Floor Limit, the discharge air temperature is limited to 0.3°C
(32.5°F).
The minimum discharge air temperature is controlled to -1.5°C (29°F) regardless of the programmed floor limit with
setpoints of -1.1°C (30°F) and higher.
Description This switch point determines the number of degrees above setpoint the temperature must rise before high speed modulation
is allowed. A lower setting will result in tighter control to setpoint but increases high speed operation time. A higher setting
will result in looser temperature control but reduces high speed operation time for additional fuel savings.
When the temperature rises to the Modulation Ceiling + -17°C (2°F) the unit will run in high speed modulation until the
temperature falls back to the Modulation Ceiling.
For example, if the setpoint is 1.7°C (35°F) and the High Speed Modulation Ceiling is 1.7°C (3°F), the Modulation Ceiling is
3.4°C (38°F). If the temperature reaches 4.4°C (40°F) as determined by a Modulation Ceiling of 3.4°C (38°F) + 1.0°C (2°
F), the unit will switch to high speed modulation. The unit will run in high speed modulation until the Modulation Ceiling of
3.4°C (38°F) is reached. The unit will then switch back to low speed modulation.
Choices ON or OFF
Factory Set ON
Description This feature turns High Speed Modulation on or off. High Speed Modulation provides precise modulation control with
increased air-flow and capacity under high cooling load conditions. Air flow is increased by operating the unit in high speed.
The increased air flow reduces the rise in the return air temperature above setpoint under high cooling load conditions. The
discharge air temperature is controlled to the programmed floor limit during high speed operation.
If this feature is On the unit will automatically enter high speed operation under high load conditions. The unit will
automatically switch back to low speed operation when conditions allow. High speed operation only occurs when necessary
to minimize fuel consumption and high speed operating hours.

Description This feature allows Fuel Saver II for the selected range to be turned On or Off.
If Fuel Saver II is On, and the box temperature changes a predetermined amount from setpoint in Cycle Sentry mode
operation, or temperature indicates a need for high speed in Continuous mode operation, the unit will first run in low speed.
An 8-minute timer is started and the control sensor air temperature is monitored. As long as the temperature falls (in cool
mode operation) or rises (in heat mode operation) a specified amount before the timer expires, the 8-minute timer is reset
and low speed operation continues. If the temperature has not changed the pre-determined amount when the timer times
out, high speed operation resumes, if allowed. This provides fuel savings by delaying high speed operation.
If the unit switches to high speed from FS-II the unit will run in high speed until setpoint is reached.
If Fuel Saver II is turned Off there is still a two-minute delay on initial startup before high speed operation is allowed. If OFF
high speed cool and high speed heat is allowed with no delay.

SR-3 Diagnostics
This section is devoted to diagnostic routines designed to help the technician quickly identify the cause of a problem
and repair it using the correct tools, information, and procedures. It is important that the required procedures be
followed exactly. Failure to do so may result in an incomplete repair.
The following hints will prove helpful:
• Download the ServiceWatch™ Data Logger using the WinTrac™ Service Tool. Review the data to determine the
conditions at the time the alarm was set. Conditions relevant to the alarm are recorded when the alarm is set and
cleared. This data can be very helpful in determining the cause of the alarm.
• Operators should record all alarm codes in sequence for reference. Alarm codes are displayed in order of
occurrence, with the most recent alarm code displayed last.
• Every effort should be made to perform a Pretrip Test on a suspect unit. In almost all cases, the Pretrip Test will
result in one or more alarm codes that will lead you directly to the problem.
• Clear all alarm codes before starting a Pretrip Test.
• If multiple alarm codes are present, diagnose and repair alarm codes caused by faulty components or control
circuits first and repeat the full Pretrip Test. Diagnosing and repairing component or control circuit based alarms will
often correct unit operation alarms such as reduced refrigeration capacity.
• Use Interface Board Test and Service Test Mode as appropriate to verify unit operation.
• Verify all connectors at the Base Controller, HMI Control Panel, and Expansion Module (if multi-temp unit) are
properly seated.
• Verify all outboard harness connectors are properly seated.
• Verify all programmable features are set to the customer’s specifications before releasing the unit for service.
Each alarm code presented in this section will have information that will assist the technician in the diagnostic
procedure. Not all alarm codes will have all of the sub-topics listed below.
• Alarm Types: This topic will list the specific alarm type for the alarm code.
• Associated Alarm Codes: This topic will list any associated alarm codes that may appear and may be related to the
alarm code or even another alarm code. For example, an Alarm Code 18 for engine overheat will often times have
an Alarm Code 42 set at the same time indicating that the unit was forced to low speed. Another example would be
that a unit shut down on an Alarm Code 10 for high discharge pressure. When the unit shut down it would also have
set an Alarm Code 84 indicating that the unit will restart in a set period of time.
N o t e : Not all associated alarm codes may be listed.
• Component Description and Location: This topic will briefly describe the related component(s) and location(s).
• Circuit Description: This topic will briefly describe the circuit(s) involved.
• Considerations: This topic will give additional information that the technician may find useful.
• How Alarm is Set: This topic briefly describes how the alarm is set.
• How Alarm is Cleared: This topic briefly describes how the alarm is cleared.
• Diagnostic Procedure: This topic will list the specific diagnostic procedures to be followed by the technician.
Electrostatic Discharge
The following electrostatic precautions must be taken:
• Keep all Base Controllers, HMI Control Panels, and Expansion Modules (if multi-temp unit) in anti-static bags at all
times.
• When working with electrical circuits that contain microprocessors, always wear an ESD wrist strap and connect the
opposite end to the chassis ground or CH terminal. This precaution will prevent electrostatic discharge from
damaging circuits.

Considerations
1. This alarm is a secondary alarm that is set along with the associated primary alarm.
2. The alarm indicates that the unit is in a temporary (“prevent” or “restart null”) shutdown. The alarm clears
automatically if the condition does not re-occur.
3. Many of these actions include a “waiting period” (to allow the engine to cool down, a high pressure condition to
subside or the like). The alarm code that caused the condition and Alarm Code 84 might be present to indicate that
the Base Controller is taking a corrective action and that a restart will be attempted when conditions permit.
4. If the corrective action is successful, the original alarm code and Alarm Code 84 are cleared automatically. If the
original alarm condition continues to occur, and the corrective actions taken by the Base Controller are not
successful, the original alarm code remains. Alarm Code 84 is automatically cleared and the unit shuts down.
5. This alarm occurs if unit operation is not allowed as a result of the associated prevent alarm. For example, if a high
discharge pressure condition shuts the unit down, a waiting period occurs to allow system pressures to equalize. A
restart occurs when conditions permit.
6. If restarts are disabled, Alarm Code 84 is also disabled.
7. Most Prevent Alarms become Shutdown Alarms if three occurrences of the alarm occur within a set time period.
8. Alarm Codes 10, 18, and 63 are not promoted to shutdown level if the Continuous Restarts feature is enabled.
9. Alarm Codes 32 and 63 are promoted to guarded access clearable Shutdown Alarms if the Limited Restarts Feature
is enabled and the Shutdown Alarm occurs three times with a 12 hour time period.
10. Some Prevent Alarms will result in modified unit operation after the alarm is self cleared. For example, Alarm Code
10 will result in Alarm Code 42 being set and the unit being forced to low speed for a one hour period.
11. If the unit is turned off while Alarm Code 84 is present, the primary alarm becomes a Shutdown Alarm when the unit
is turned back on.
How Alarm is Set
This alarm is set with the associated alarm that caused the condition.
How Alarm is Cleared
This alarm clears automatically if the condition is resolved.
Diagnostic Procedure
Check for associated alarms and repair as required.

WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Units featuring Electric Standby utilize 460, 400, or 230 volt 3 phase AC electrical power any time the unit is
operating in Electric Mode. This voltage potential is also present any time the unit is connected to a source of
external standby power. Extreme care must be used when working on the unit, as these voltages are capable
of causing serious injury or death.
Operation:
The brown, blue and black wires are used to sample the power at L1, L2 and L3 respectively. Operating power from 12
to 24 Vdc is supplied to the module via the 8 wire and CH wire.
When the voltage sensed rises above 180 volts AC and all three phases are present the module ER wire will output 12-
24 Vdc after the conditions exist for 2 to 4 seconds. This signal informs the base controller that electric standby
operation is possible. If the voltage drops below 160 volts AC or a phase is lost, the output is turned off after the
condition exists for 8 to 10 seconds. The module continues to monitor the power and will again output 12-24 Vdc within
2 to 4 seconds after the voltage rises above 180 volts AC and all three phases are present.
If phase rotation is L1, L2, L3, the 7EB wire will supply 12 to 24 Vdc to energize the appropriate phase rotation contactor.
If phase rotation is L1, L3, L2, the 7EC wire will supply a chassis ground to energize the appropriate phase rotation
contactor. The 7EB and 7EC wires are interlocked to prevent both phase contactors from being energized at once.
Connections:

the voltage drops below 160 volts AC or a phase is lost and the condition remains for 8 to 10 seconds, the output is turned off. The

HMI Control Panel - Turning The Unit On From A Remote Control Panel
The diagram (Figure 171, p. 326) shows the power conditions present when the unit has been turned on by pressing the
Remote Control Panel On Key on a unit equipped with an HMI Control Panel.
1. Pressing the Remote Control Panel On Key initiates turning the unit on by supplying chassis ground to the ON
(ORN) circuit at the Remote Control Panel Pin 4 for five seconds. This turns the HMI Control Panel on and energizes
the On/Off Relay K9. During this five second interval, the communications in steps 2 through 7 occur. After five
seconds, the Remote Control Panel removes the ground from the ON (ORN) circuit but the On/Off Relay K9 is now
provided a ground by the HMI Control Panel (step 7) and will remain on.
2. T h e H M I C o n t r o l P a n e l p o w e r s u p a n d d i s p l a y s t h e “ R E M O T E S T A R T - P L E A S E W A I T ” s c r e e n .
3. The HMI Control Panel sends a query via the CAN Bus to the Base Controller asking if the Remote Control Panel is
attempting to turn the unit on.
4. The Base Controller sends a query via the RS-232 serial port (RXD and TXD circuits) to the Remote Control Panel
asking if the Remote Control Panel is attempting to turn the unit on.
5. The Remote Control Panel will reply via the RS-232 serial port (RXD and TXD circuits) to the Base Controller that it is
attempting to turn the unit on.
6. The Base Controller replies to the HMI Control Panel via the CAN Bus that the Remote Control Panel is attempting to
turn the unit on.
7. The HMI Control Panel microprocessor supplies chassis ground to the ON/OFF circuit at HMI Control Panel Pin 34 by
connecting it internally to HMI Control Panel Pin 35.
8. This energizes the On/Off Relay K9, which closes the normally open K9 contacts to supply power to the 8X, 8P, and
8XP - BLK3 circuits. The K9 LED 23 will illuminate to indicate the On/Off Relay K9 is energized. The 8P circuit signals
the Base Controller to turn on. The Base Controller Heart Beat LED 21 will begin to flash, indicating that the Base
Controller is powered up. The 8XP - BLK3 wire supplies feedback to Pin 6 of the HMI Control Panel that the Base
Controller is powered up.

HMI Control Panel - Turning The Unit Off From A Remote Control Panel
The diagram (Figure 172, p. 328) shows the power conditions present when the unit has been turned off by pressing the
Remote Control Panel Off Key on a unit equipped with an HMI Control Panel.
1. Pressing the Remote Control Panel Off Key momentarily supplies a chassis ground to the OFF circuit at the Remote
Control Panel Pin 5 as shown by the green dashed lines. This causes the HMI Control Panel to begin to power down.
2. The HMI Control Panel powers down. This turns the unit off by removing the ground from the ON/OFF circuit at HMI
Control Panel Pin 34 to de-energize the On/Off Relay K9 relay as shown by bold blue dashed lines.
3. W h e n t h e O n / O f f R e l a y i s d e - e n e r g i z e d , p o w e r i s r e m o v e d f r o m t h e 8 X , 8 P , a n d 8 X P - B L K 3 c i r c u i t s a s s h o w n
in thin black on the diagram. When power is removed from the 8P circuit, this signals the Base Controller to
turn off. The Base Controller Heart Beat LED 21 will stop flashing, indicating that the Base Controller is
powered down.
Notes:
1. If the OFF (YEL) circuit from the Remote Controller to the HMI Control Panel is not connected, the HMI
Control Panel will power down by sending messages via the communication ports.
2. On SR-3 applications, the OFF Line is connected to CAN Connectors J12, J13, and J14 at Pin 7. The OFF Line
is also connected to CAN Connector J98 Pin 10.

1 On Key Pressing the HMI Control Panel On Key is the reason for an On Key power up.
2 On Line Providing a ground to the On Line is the reason for an On Line power up. The On Line power up is normally
initiated by a Remote Controller On Key being pressed or a 3rd party Telematic device providing a ground
via the iBox. Grounding of the On Line will cause the K9 On/Off Relay coil to energize and initiate a power
up of the Base Controller and the HMI Control Panel.
3 DPD Connecting a download cable to the CargoWatch Download Port is the reason for a DPD power up.
Connecting the download cable will ground the DPD wire causing the HMI to power up. This will allow the
user to perform a download without the unit running.
4 Cold Crank A Cold Crank power up may occur during a low voltage situation during an attempted engine start.
5 Reset A Reset power up may occur if the CAN communication to the HMI Control Panel has been interrupted and
then re-established. Essentially the HMI Control Panel reboots and comes back on line. This can be
observed in downloads where the unit and HMI Control Panel are both operating and a Power Up Reset will
be observed without a prior Power Down being present.
7 Conservative Mode A Conservative Mode power up will be present if the Conservative Mode has been programmed in the HMI
Control Panel. This power up happens at user defined time intervals to document temperature readings on
the CargoWatch Sensors when the unit is turned Off.
1 Off Key Pushing the HMI Control Panel Off Key is the reason for an Off Key power down.
2 Off Line An Off Line power down is normally initiated by pushing a Remote Controller Off key or by a 3rd party
Telematic device. Pushing the Remote Controller Off key or a Remote Off command from a 3rd party
Telematics device will ground the Off Line to Pin 33 of the HMI Control Panel. This will cause the unit to turn
off.
Note: A grounded Off Line can be the reason for a unit not turning on at all or be the cause of nuisance Off
Line power downs if the Off Line wire has an intermittent ground.
3 Reserved
4 8XP No Controller On A 8XP No Controller On Signal power down will occur if the 8XP feedback is not present from the K9 On/Off
Signal relay 8X circuit to Pin 6 of the HMI Control Panel and there is no CAN communication between the Base
Controller and HMI Control Panel.
5 Communications A Communication Request Time Out power down will occur if a download cable has caused a power up of
Request Timeout the HMI and there has been no activity, such as a download, on the HMI download port. If no activity had
(SCOM) been present on the port, the HMI will power down to preserve the battery.
6 Network Power A Network Power Down will occur if there is a serial command from a Remote Controller to turn the unit Off.
Down Normally, the Remote Controller turning the unit Off is accomplished by the Off button pulling the Off Line
low resulting in an Off Line power down. If the Off Line were not present or the Off wire had an open circuit,
the Remote Controller Off key also initiates a serial command to turn the unit off. In this case, the HMI will
log a Network Power Down

Section 7 - Service Information
7 Remote Start A Remote Start Timeout power down will occur if the Remote Control does not communicate with the
Timeout controller after an On Line (Remote Control On Key) power up. If the Remote Controller will not
communicate via the J10 serial port that it had initiated the On Line power up, the HMI Control Panel will do
a Remote Start Timeout log and power the HMI Control Panel and Base Controller down.
8 Conservative Mode A Conservative Mode power down complements a Conservative Mode power up. It will be present if the
Conservative Mode has been programmed in the HMI Control Panel. The HMI Control Panel power up
happens at user defined time intervals to document temperature reading on the CargoWatch Sensors.
After the temperature readings are taken, the Conservative Mode power down will turn the HMI Control
Panel off.
