SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
! WARNING
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: Installation and servicing of refrigeration equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressures, rotating elements and electrical components. Only trained
and qualified service personnel should install, repair or service refrigeration equipment. When
working on refrigeration equipment, observe precautions in all literature including this manual,
the equipment tags and labels attached to the unit, and other safety precautions that may
apply. Follow safe work practices and utilize the appropriate protective equipment at all times.
Your Carrier Transicold refrigeration unit has been designed with the safety of the operator in mind. During normal
operation, all moving parts are fully enclosed to help prevent injury. During all pre-trip inspections, daily
inspections, and problem troubleshooting, you may be exposed to moving parts. Please stay clear of all moving
parts when the unit is in operation and when the START/RUN-OFF switch (SROS) is in the START/RUN position.
NOTICE
Electronic modules MUST be handled with care to prevent accidental damage or degradation
from electrical static discharge (ESD), contamination or abuse. Before touching a module,
touch your body and/or conductive tool being used to the frame to discharge ESD safely. All
electronics should be handled carefully and only held by edges of any exposed board. Care
should be taken when inserting/extracting connectors and components to avoid exerting
excessive stress on the board which could fracture small components nearby, resulting in
future failure of circuit.
NOTICE
Under no circumstances should a technician electrically probe the modules at any point, other
than the connector terminals where the harness attaches. Module 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 module.
Automatic Start-Stop
Your refrigeration unit is equipped with auto-start in both Start-Stop and Continuous Operation. The unit may start
at any time the START/RUN-OFF switch (SROS) is in the START/RUN position. A buzzer will sound for 5 seconds
before the unit is started. When performing any check of the refrigeration unit (e.g. checking the electrical
connections), make certain that the START/RUN-OFF switch is in the OFF position.
Refrigerants
The refrigerant contained in the refrigeration system of this 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) we recommend that you contact your nearest Carrier Transicold authorized repair facility whenever
service of the refrigerant system is required.
Battery
This unit may be 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.

refrigerant controls defrost air switch, piping, wiring, and associated components.
2.3.1 Compressor
The unit is fitted with a scroll compressor equipped with suction and discharge service valves and an economizer
connection. The compressor draws refrigerant gas from the evaporator and delivers it to the condenser at an
increased temperature and pressure. The pressure is such that refrigerant heat can be absorbed by the
surrounding air at ambient temperatures.
2–5 62-11785
2.3.6 Economizer Transducer and Sensor
a. Economizer Outlet Pressure Transducer (ECOP)
The ECOP is located in the vapor injection line leaving the economizer. It provides the control system with
economizer outlet pressure information to be displayed, recorded in DataLink data, and used to determine the
required position of the economizer expansion valve.
b. Economizer Outlet Temperature Sensor (ECOT)
The ECOT is a thermistor type sensor located on the suction line leaving the economizer. It provides the control
system with economizer outlet temperature information to be displayed, recorded in the DataLink data recorder
and used to determine the required position of the economizer expansion valve.
2.3.9 Filter-Drier
The filter-drier is a cylindrical shell containing a drying agent and filter screen. It is installed in the liquid line and
functions to keep the system clean and remove moisture from the refrigerant.
2.3.10 Receiver
Liquid refrigerant from the condenser flows into the receiver. The receiver serves as a liquid reservoir when there
are surges due to load changes in the system; as a storage space when pumping down the system and as a liquid
seal against the entrance of refrigerant gas into the liquid line. The receiver is provided with two bulls-eye sight
glasses, for the observation of liquid level & moisture content, and a fusible plug.

2–15 62-11785
The refrigerant pressure drop caused by the expansion valve is accompanied by a drop in temperature so the low
pressure, low temperature liquid that flows into the evaporator tubes is colder than the air that is circulated over the
evaporator tubes by the evaporator fan. The evaporator tubes have aluminum fins to increase heat transfer;
therefore heat is removed from the air circulated over the evaporator. This cold air is circulated throughout the
refrigerated compartment to maintain the cargo at the desired temperature.
The transfer of heat from the air to the low temperature liquid refrigerant causes the liquid to vaporize.
This low temperature, low pressure vapor passes the evaporator outlet temperature and pressure sensors (EVOT
and EVOP) which aid in calculation of superheat.
The vapor then returns to the compressor through the compressor suction modulation valve (CSMV). The CSMV
controls the flow of refrigerant entering the suction line, thereby matching the load to the compressor capacity.

3.5 INTELLISET
Products carried or stored in a refrigerated compartment require a multitude of refrigeration unit settings that must
be checked and, if required, reset each time a new product is loaded. The APX control system offers the settings
necessary to meet these requirements. IntelliSet is a feature that allows pre-selection and naming of the necessary
settings for over 40 different products. The operator may then call up the settings by simply selecting the assigned
IntelliSet name.
For example: A load of apples may require setting the APX Control System for 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°C) with
defrost at 12 hour intervals. The settings required for each product may be entered into the APX Control System
and then locked so they cannot be changed. In the case of the load of cheese, the range of setpoints may be
locked, leaving the operator the ability to change the setpoint within the locked range.
When a load of apples is going to be picked up, the operator simply selects “APPLES” from the IntelliSet menu; for
cheese, “CHEESE” is selected; for ice cream, “ICE CREAM” is selected. With each selection, the APX Control
System automatically re-programs the settings to provide the best temperature control, fuel economy, and
performance for that particular product.
NOTES
• The above settings are examples of possible settings. Factory IntelliSets are available from your authorized
Carrier Transicold Truck/Trailer dealer
• IntelliSet may be pre-programmed as “IntelliSleep” which allows Sleep Mode to be entered by simply
changing to that IntelliSet.
• Range Protect may be applied to as many IntelliSets as desired. Range Protect is designed to prevent
freezing or overheating of non-sensitive cargo by locking the unit in Start-Stop Operation when the
compartment temperature is in the preset range (default range is 35 to 70°F, 1.6 to 21.1°C). Range Protect
offers increased fuel savings over normal Start-Stop Operation.

3.6 PRETRIP
Pretrip is a set of tests run by the control system to check unit operation. It is recommended that a Pretrip is run
prior to loading the refrigerated compartment. It will indicate a failure if one is detected.
TIP
A Pretrip can be started at any box temperature. If Pretrip is started while the unit is in a Start-Stop off
cycle the unit will start during the course of the test. If the unit is running when Pretrip is started, it will
shutdown for the first three tests.
If “CAN NOT START PRETRIP” is displayed in the MessageCenter, check to see if the unit is in PC
mode (Refer to Section 5.3.2) or Defrost mode, or check the alarm list (Section 3.15) for active shut-
down alarms.
NOTE
Pretrip will run until completed, unless an alarm occurs that causes Pretrip to be aborted. Only alarms
that will result in other erroneous alarms or will affect future Pretrip tests will abort Pretrip.
Once Pretrip is started: If the unit is running, the control system will shut the unit down for the initial tests, then start
it again as it proceeds through the tests.
NOTE
Before completing Pretrip, the control system looks at the status of alarms and if certain alarms are
active, Pretrip will display “FAILED”, indicating that the unit is not ready to be sent out for a load, but
that the alarm list should be checked and all present alarm situations corrected.

3.19 OPTION - DATATRAK
DataTrak allows remote communication with the APX control system (cellular, satellite, etc).
One Way Communication providers can request data from the System and transmit it via their equipment to
another location. This is typically done via the Internet to any destination in the world.
! WARNING
APX control system equipped units may start automatically at any time the START/RUN - OFF
switch is not in the OFF position. Also, the unit may be fitted with two way communication
equipment that will allow starting of the unit from a remote location even though the switch is
in the OFF position.
Two Way Communication providers can also send commands via their equipment to the control system to start or
stop the unit, change settings and the way the System is operating the unit.
DataTrak is factory installed. DataTrak installation can be confirmed by scrolling through the Advanced User Unit
Data (refer to Section 3.14). DataTrak will be listed under the Installed Options heading.
The control system must be configured for the provider that will be connecting to it (refer to Section 5.2.3). The
Satellite Com Configuration can be set for “Qualcomm” or “Other”. If the provider is “Qualcomm” and the original
Qualcomm TrailerTracs system is being used then the “Qualcomm” selection must be made. If the provider is Qual-
comm and the newer TrailerTracs T2 system is being used or another communications provider is used, “Other”
should be selected.
Carrier Transicold has worked with approved communication providers with recommended installation locations,
and wiring connections to Carrier units. Instructions for installing this equipment is supplied by each individual pro-
vider, and not by Carrier Transicold. Communications electrical harnesses are available from Carrier Transicold
Performance Parts Group (PPG).

4.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes operation of the unit when in Start-Stop Operation and Continuous Operation.
For a description and flow diagram of the refrigerant system component interaction while in cooling, refer to Sec-
tion 2.12. For a description of the system component interaction in heating or defrost, refer to Section 2.13.
4–1 62-11785
4.3 OPERATION
The APX Control System will energize the condenser fan motors in order to determine the phase sequence of the
incoming power. If incoming power is not correct, the system will shutdown and restart, energizing the other power
supply contactor (PSCON or PSCON2). If the phase sequence is not corrected by this action, the A00074 -
“PHASE REVERSED” alarm will be activated and the unit will shutdown.
Once the power selection is made:
• the stepper valve module will open the compressor suction modulating valve (CSMV), evaporator expansion
valve (EVXV) and economizer expansion valve (ECXV), to equalize system pressure, and then bring the
valves to a predetermined position before the unit starts.
• the contactor control boards will energize the compressor, condenser fan motors, evaporator fan motor and/
or electric heaters as required.
NOTE
The unit will not restart for at least 30 seconds following a shutdown.
4.3.2 Start-Up
On command to perform a Start-Up, the control system will energize the buzzer for five seconds. The refrigeration
system or heaters will then operate in the mode(s) required for temperature control.
NOTE
The control system may be locked so that the unit will always operate in Start-Stop whenever the set-
point is within a specific range. Refer to Range Lock (Section 4.8.2) for additional information.
62-11785 4–2
4.4.1 Start-Stop Configuration
Start-Stop Operation is dependent on both Configuration and Functional Parameter settings. The first setting to be
considered is the START-STOP PARAMETERS Configuration. This setting determines control actions when in the
Perishable Range or Frozen Range. The available settings are TOGETHER and SEPARATE.
• When SEPARATE is chosen the control action will be different, depending on whether the setpoint is in the
Perishable Range or in the Frozen Range (refer to Section 4.6.1).
• When TOGETHER is chosen, the same settings apply to any setpoint.
If TOGETHER is selected, then the following Functional Parameter values will be available for use:
• MINIMUM RUN TIME • OVERRIDE TEMP
• MINIMUM OFF TIME • MAXIMUM OFF TIME
• RESTART TEMPERATURE • FROZEN SHUTDOWN OFFSET
If SEPARATE is selected, then the following Functional Parameter values will be available for use:
• PERISHABLE MINIMUM RUN TIME • FROZEN MINIMUM OFF TIME
• PERISHABLE MINIMUM OFF TIME • FROZEN RESTART TEMPERATURE
• PERISHABLE RESTART TEMPERATURE • FROZEN OVERRIDE TEMP
• PERISHABLE OVERRIDE TEMP • FROZEN MAXIMUM OFF TIME
• PERISHABLE MAXIMUM OFF TIME • FROZEN SHUTDOWN OFFSET
• FROZEN MINIMUM RUN TIME
NOTE
In the event that this Configuration was set to SEPARATE and the eleven Functional Parameters for
Perishable and Frozen have been set and the Configuration is changed from SEPARATE to
TOGETHER, the values from the Perishable settings will be the ones that will be used.
TIP
The status of the unit battery can be checked by reading the Battery Voltage in the Data List. If “OK.”
appears after the voltage reading, battery voltage is sufficient to allow the unit to cycle off.
If the compressor has cycled off, PSCON will remain energized (to supply power to the battery charger) until the
stop parameter has been met or the greater of the applicable MINIMUM RUN TIME functional parameter setting
has elapsed.
4–3 62-11785
3. Battery is fully charged - Amperage
The control system will calculate the average current draw over a 20 second period. Once this average drops
below the selected value, shutdown will be allowed. The CURRENT FOR START-STOP SHUTOFF is selected in
the control system Configurations. The value may be set from 1 to 10 amps in 0.5 amp intervals. The factory
default setting is 7 amps.
If the compressor has cycled off, PSCON will remain energized (to supply power to the battery charger) until bat-
tery amperage draw is less than 7.0 amps.
4. Compartment temperature requirement is satisfied
In Start-Stop Operation the refrigeration system will operate in Pulldown or Pull-Up Mode in order to reach the shut-
down condition as quickly as possible.
Shutdown will be allowed when the compartment temperature is within 0.5°F (0.3°C) of setpoint, for operation in
Perishable Range. In Frozen Range, shutdown will be allowed when the compartment temperature is calculated to
be within 0.5°F minus the FROZEN SHUTDOWN OFFSET (0.3°C minus the FROZEN SHUTDOWN OFFSET) of
setpoint.
The FROZEN SHUTDOWN OFFSET Functional Parameter may be set from 0 to 1.1°F (0 to 0.6°C). The factory
default setting is 0°F (0°C).
If the temperature requirement has been satisfied while one of the other shutdown requirements has not been met,
the unit will operate with the compressor and heaters off and the evaporator fan running until this parameter has
also been met.
NOTE
In Start-Stop Operation, when the setpoint is in the frozen range (refer to Section 4.6.1), the unit will
not restart when temperature is below setpoint except as indicated in the following.
TIP
The status of the unit battery can be checked by reading the Battery Voltage in the Data List. If “OK.”
appears after the voltage reading, battery voltage is sufficient to allow the unit to cycle off.
If this is the only reason operation is required, the unit will operate as if it is in Continuous Operation until the
requirement has been met.
2. Maximum Off Time has expired
In some ambient conditions there are times when the unit may remain in a Start-Stop Off cycle for extended periods
of time. To ensure that the entire load stays within the normal restart temperature range, the MAXIMUM OFF TIME
Functional Parameter may be used to force the unit to restart with the evaporator fans running to circulate air in the
compartment. This will ensure there are no hot spots and the temperature sensor reading accurately reflects prod-
uct temperature. The parameter value may be set to 0 minutes or from 10 to 225 minutes in 1 minute intervals.
If the MAXIMUM OFF TIME is “OFF“, there is no maximum off time for Start-Stop and the unit will remain off. The
factory default setting is OFF.
If this is the only reason operation is required, the unit will operate as if it is in Continuous Operation until the
requirement has been met.
62-11785 4–4
3. Minimum Off Time has expired
The MINIMUM OFF TIME Functional Parameter setting allows the unit to remain off for extended periods of time,
maximizing power economy. The unit may not be restarted until the MINIMUM OFF TIME has expired and the
compartment temperature is greater than the PERISHABLE RESTART TEMPERATURE value selected in the
Functional Parameters away from setpoint. In the Frozen Range, restart is allowed when the compartment tem-
perature is calculated to be greater than 0.5F above setpoint. The MINIMUM OFF TIME parameter value may be
set from 10 to 90 minutes in 1 minute intervals. The factory default setting is 30 minutes. The RESTART TEM-
PERATURE value may be set from 0.5 to 18°F (0.28 to 10°C) in 0.5° (F or C) increments. The factory default is
5.4°F (-14.7°C).
If this is the only reason operation is required, the unit will operate as if it is in Continuous Operation until the
requirement has been met.
4. Compartment temperature has exceeded the Override Functional Parameter value
Override Functional Parameter value During MINIMUM OFF TIME the control system continually monitors the
refrigerated compartment temperature and the override functional parameter value. During the Minimum Off Time,
if the refrigerated compartment temperature drifts this far above or below setpoint in the Perishable Range, or
above setpoint in the Frozen Range, the unit will override the Minimum Off Time, and restart. The value may be set
from 3.6 to 18°F (2 to 10°C) in 0.5° increments. The factory default setting is 12°F (6.7°C).
Whenever the unit restarts, temperature control will be in the Pulldown or Pull-Up Mode.
NOTE
The control system may be locked so that the unit will always operate in Start-Stop or in Continuous
whenever the setpoint is within a specific range. Refer to Range Lock (Section 4.8.2) for additional
information.
4–5 62-11785
4.6.3 Cool/Heat/Null Mode Switching Logic
When not in Pulldown and in Continuous Run Mode, operation in cool, heat and null modes is determined in accor-
dance with the calculated Controlling Temperature value (CT), the difference between this value and Setpoint (SP)
and the FUEL SAVER (ECO) MODE Functional Parameter setting in accordance with:
Control Temperature with Fuel Saver OFF
COOL MODE
Switch On when CT-SP is greater than or equal to 0.36°F Switch Off when CT-SP is less than -0.36°F (-0.2°C)
(0.2°C)
NULL MODE
Between Cool & Heat or Heat & Cool
HEAT MODE
Switch On when CT-SP is equal to or less than -0.54°F Switch Off when CT-SP is greater than 0.36°F (0.2°C)
(-0.3°C)
Control Temperature with Fuel Saver ON
COOL MODE
Switch On when CT-SP is greater than or equal to the Switch Off when CT-SP is less than -0.32°F (-0.0°C)
S/S OVERRIDE Functional parameter.
NULL MODE
Between Cool & Heat or Heat & Cool
HEAT MODE
Switch On when CT-SP is equal to or less than -1.44°F Switch Off when CT-SP is greater than 1.26°F (0.7°C)
(-0.8°C)
When Null Mode is required and the system is operating in Standby Continuous Operation, the compressor and
condenser fans will shut down while the evaporator fan continues to operate.
NOTE
In Continuous Run, when difference between ambient and setpoint is <10°C, the COMPRESSOR
RESTART OFFSET configuration value will be used for the switch point to turn cool on (instead of
0.2°C). If ambient and setpoint are more than 10°C then the switch point remains 0.2°C.
4.6.4 Cool Mode
When Cool Mode is required the system will operate in Pulldown or CSMV Control. Pulldown operation will include
periods of time in Economized Mode and Standard Mode. CSMV control will occur in Standard Mode. For descrip-
tions of operation when cooling, with flow diagrams, refer to Section 2.12.
Pulldown:
Pulldown will be entered:
• following a Start-Up
• following a Setpoint change (requiring additional cooling)
• following a defrost termination
• or when all other Stop Parameters have been met except compartment Temperature Stop Parameter
Pulldown will end when one of the following occurs:
• In Start-Stop and the compartment Temperature Stop Parameter has been satisfied while one or more of the
other Stop Parameters has not
• In Continuous Operation - perishable and temperature is in required range. This range is calculated when Supply
Temperature (ST) is equal to or less than Return Temperature (RT). The calculation is:
Off Value = ST - RT/2
When the Control Temperature is within a range of ± the Off Value of set point, Pulldown Mode ends.
• If in Continuous Operation - Perishable, and the High Speed Pulldown Configuration is ON: when the tem-
perature is equal to setpoint.
• when active probe is within the control temperature which allows the unit to shut off.
CSMV Control:
CSMV Control will be entered when additional cooling is required and Pulldown is not allowed. In CSMV Control
the valve will be modulated so as to balance compressor capacity with the refrigeration load.

4.6.5 Heat Mode
When Heat Mode is required the system operates with evaporator fans energized. Operation of heaters is deter-
mined in accordance with the calculated Controlling Temperature (CT) and the difference between Setpoint (SP) in
accordance with the following table:
Control Temperature with Fuel Saver OFF
HTCON1
Switch On when CT-SP is equal to or less than -0.54°F (- Switch Off when CT-SP is greater than -0.36°F (-0.2°C)
0.3°C)
HTCON2
Switch On when CT-SP is less than -3.6°F (-2.0°C) Switch Off when CT-SP is greater than -3.24°F (-1.8°C)
Control Temperature with Fuel Saver ON
HTCON1
Switch On when CT-SP is less than -1.44°F (-0.8°C) Switch Off when CT-SP is greater than -1.26°F (-0.7°C)
HTCON2
Switch On when CT-SP is less than -3.6°F (-2.0°C) Switch Off when CT-SP is greater than -3.24°F (-1.8°C)
HTCON1 may also be activated when the unit is in Continuous Operation Cooling to assist in balancing unit capacity
with the load. In all other operating states and modes HTCON1 and HTCON2 will not be activated.
4.6.6 Null Mode
For descriptions of operation in the Null Mode, refer to Section 2.12 and Section 4.6.3.
4.7 DEFROST
Defrost is an independent cycle that overrides cooling and heating functions in order to de-ice the evaporator.
When the unit enters defrost the MessageCenter will display DEFROST CYCLE STARTED for the first 10 seconds
and then display the default message for the remainder of the cycle. DEFROST is displayed in the Operator Mes-
sage Panel, along with the setpoint while the unit is in the cycle.
Defrost is allowed when the DTT is less than 40.0°F (4.4°C).
OR
If DTT sensor alarm is active, the RAT is less than 45.0°F (7.2°C).
OR
If the alarms for both DTT and RAT alarms are active, then defrost can be initiated when the SAT is less than
45.0°F (7.2°C).
4–7 62-11785
TIP
Ice is not the only thing that will cause the air differential to increase across the evaporator coil. Shrink
wrap, paper, plastic bags, and other such items when caught in the return air stream and pulled up
against the evaporator coil or the return air grille can also cause the DAS contacts to close.
NOTE
The defrost timer will not count when the unit is in defrost, the unit is in a Start/Stop off cycle or the
DTT is greater than 40.0°F (4.4°C).
NOTE
Defrost Mode uses a Defrost Duration Timer that allows for a maximum of 45 minutes in defrost. If
defrost is not terminated during the 45 minutes, the control system will end the defrost cycle, and show
the alarm “DEFROST NOT COMPLETE”. When this occurs, the Defrost Interval Timer is set for 1.5
hours, at which time the unit will go into defrost again.
62-11785 4–8
4.8 USER SELECTED OVERRIDE OPERATION
Three optional software override programs are available to the user. These programs include: Supply Air Limit Con-
trol, Temperature Range Lock and Product Shield. Information on how the unit operates under these programs is pro-
vided in the following sub-paragraphs.
NOTE
These values are all negative (except for 0), therefore, when the value is added to the setpoint, the
result will be a temperature that is less than the setpoint.
When the PERISHABLE SENSITIVE PRODUCT Functional Parameter is set to OFF, the supply air temperature
will be the coldest temperature of 32°F (0°C) OR the calculated value of Setpoint minus the configured Supply Air
Limit value.
When the PERISHABLE SENSITIVE PRODUCT Functional Parameter is set to ON, the supply air temperature will
be the calculated value of setpoint minus the configured Supply Air Limit value.
Supply Air Limit controls the temperature of the supply air as it leaves the evaporator so that it does not go colder than
the configured Supply Air Limit value below setpoint.
NOTE
The 9°F value used in the following examples is not necessarily a recommend setting, but is only used
to show how the Supply Air Temperature Limit is calculated.
4–9 62-11785
4.8.2 Temperature Range Lock 1 & 2
Range Lock is a group of Configurations which may be set to lock the unit into Start-Stop or Continuous Operation
for various setpoint ranges.
Two ranges are available for selection, Range Lock 1 and Range Lock 2. Each Range can be independently set to
lock it’s setpoint temperatures into either Start-Stop or Continuous operation.
Each Range has it’s own selectable minimum and maximum temperature, which define the span of the range. If
some setpoint temperatures are contained in both ranges due to range overlap, Range 1 will always have priority
over Range 2.
Typically, both Range Lock 1 and Range Lock 2 are used to control different setpoint ranges when IntelliSet is not
active.
For units with IntelliSet active, because each IntelliSet is generally programmed for a specific product, only Range
Lock 1 is used to hold the unit in either the Start/Stop or Continuous Operation, and Range Lock 2 is left off.
For example (see Figure 4.1), if Continuous Operation is ALWAYS required whenever the setpoint is between 28°F
and 55°F (-2.2°C and +12.8°C), Range 1 will be set for Continuous, with a Minimum Temperature of 28°F (-2.2°C) and
a Maximum Temperature of 55°F (-12.8°C).
Should Continuous Operation ALWAYS also be required with setpoints between -22 and 0°F (-30 and -17.8°C),
then Range 2 will be set for Continuous, with a Minimum Temperature of -22°F (-30°C) and a Maximum Tempera-
ture of 0°F (-17.8°C). Any setpoint outside of Range 1 or 2 will allow changes between Start-Stop and Continuous.
Range 2 Range 1
F -22 -10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80
C -30 -23.3 -17.8 -12.2 -6.7 -1.1 4.4 10.0 15.6 21.1 26.7
The primary time that it is important to determine which range is to be Range 1 and which is to be Range 2 is when
the ranges overlap each other.
In example 2 (see Figure 4.2), the ranges have been set to lock all setpoints into Start-Stop, except for a small
range between +32° and +42°F (0° and 5.6°C) where the unit will always operate in Continuous. Range 1 Minimum
Temperature has been set for +32°F (0°C), and Maximum Temperature of +42°F (5.6°C). Range 2 has been set for
a Minimum Temperature of -22°F (-30°C) and a Maximum Temperature of +89.6°F (32°C). The unit will switch to
Continuous when the setpoint is between +32° and +42°F (0° and 5.6°C) because, when the ranges overlap each
other the Range 1 settings will take priority.

4.8.3 ProductShield
ProductShield is a group of Configurations that work together to allow improved operating efficiency while providing
customized product protection.
Each ProductShield setting allows the user to select an ambient temperature range in which to operate. The Mini-
mum and Maximum range values can be set to OFF, or the allowed value range.
a. ProductShield Econo
ProductShield Econo allows the microprocessor to automatically switch from Start/Stop Operation to Continuous
Operation or vice versa. This allows maximum product protection while providing for power savings when ambient
temperature is in the preset range.
ProductShield Econo - Go to Start-Stop Operation:
When the unit is set to Continuous Operation, ProductShield Econo allows the unit to run in Start/Stop Operation
when:
• The ProductShield Econo Configuration is set to GO TO S/S AND
• The unit has run in Continuous Operation for a minimum of either 15 minutes or the Minimum Run Time
Functional Parameter setting (whichever time is longer) AND
• The ambient temperature falls within the pre-programmed temperature range AND
• The unit is not already running in ProductShield Winter. (See Section b.)
The operator can also pre-program a maximum evaporator coil temperature differential (delta-t) between the return
air and supply air temperatures as an additional criteria for switching to Start/Stop Operation. The unit must bring
the delta-t below this setting before going to Start/Stop Operation if this option is chosen.
NOTE
In ProductShield Econo: Go to Start/Stop, the delta-t must be lower than the value selected in order to
enter Start/Stop.
Once the microprocessor detects that the above criteria have been met, the unit will switch from Continuous Operation
to a Start/Stop Off Cycle for the MINIMUM OFF TIME Functional Parameter setting. During the Minimum Off Time, the
RESTART OVERRIDE TEMPERATURE Functional Parameter setting can cause the unit to restart to protect the load.
After the Minimum Off Time has expired the unit will return to Continuous Operation when the return air temperature is
more than the configured perishable restart temperature away from setpoint in the perishable range, or the configured
frozen restart temperature above setpoint in the frozen range.
4–11 62-11785
When the unit restarts, it will return to Continuous Operation for a minimum of 15 minutes or the Minimum Run
Time Functional Parameter setting, whichever time is longer. The original activation conditions must then be met in
order for the unit to return to ProductShield Econo: Start/Stop.
ProductShield Econo Go To Start/Stop Examples:
The following examples apply in situations where all other Start/Stop conditions have been met.
Example 1: If the Minimum is set to 30°F (-1.1°C) and the Maximum is set to 40°F (4.4°C) and the ambient air tem-
perature falls between these temperatures, the unit operation can change to Econo Start/Stop.
Example 2: If the Minimum is set to 30°F (-1.1°C) and the Maximum is set to OFF and the ambient air temperature
is above 30°F (-1.1°C), the unit operation can change to Econo Start/Stop.
Example 3: If the Minimum is set to OFF and the Maximum is set to 40°F (4.4°C) and the ambient air temperature
falls below 40°F (1.7°C), the unit operation can change to Econo Start/Stop.
Example 4: If both the Min and the Max are set to OFF, unit operation can change to Econo Start/Stop at any ambi-
ent temperature.
ProductShield Econo - Go to Continuous Operation:
When the unit is set for Start/Stop, ProductShield Econo allows the unit to run in Continuous Operation when:
• ProductShield Econo configuration is set to GO TO CONTINUOUS AND
• The unit has run in Start/Stop Operation for a minimum of 15 minutes OR the Minimum Run Time, Functional
Parameter setting (whichever time is longer) AND
• The ambient temperature falls outside the pre-programmed temperature range AND
• The unit is not already running in ProductShield Winter. (See Section b.)
Once the microprocessor detects that the above criteria have been met, the unit will switch from Start/Stop to Con-
tinuous Operation for a minimum of 30 minutes. After 30 minutes the unit will return to Start/Stop if the ambient
temperature enters the pre-programmed temperature range.
NOTE
Delta-t logic is not used/available when ProductShield Econo - Go To Continuous is active.
NOTE
All ProductShield settings may be viewed in the Data List (Refer to Section 3.14). For units with Intel-
liSets, the Data List will reflect the ProductShield settings for the IntelliSet that is currently active.

Figure 5.10 TRU-Tech/TRU-View Connection
NOTICE
Under no circumstances should a technician electrically probe the modules at any point, other
than the connector terminals where the harness attaches. Module 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 module.
Some main microprocessor inputs operate at voltage levels other than the conventional 12 VDC. These inputs
include but are not limited to the pressure transducers and temperature sensors. Under no circumstances should 12
VDC be applied at these connection points.
NOTICE
Electronic modules MUST be handled with care to prevent accidental damage or degradation
from electrical static discharge (ESD), contamination or abuse. Before touching a module,
touch your body and/or conductive tool being used to the frame to discharge ESD safely. All
electronics should be handled carefully and only held by edges of any exposed board. Care
should be taken when inserting/extracting connectors and components to avoid exerting
excessive stress on the board which could fracture small components nearby, resulting in
future failure of circuit.
When field diagnosis of a Carrier Transicold refrigeration unit determines that an APX main microprocessor is not
performing properly and must be replaced the replacement microprocessor must be setup for this unit and customer
by entering the required Configurations, Functional Parameters and DataLink data recorder settings.
If the replacement microprocessor is not loaded with the most recent software, it should be updated. If software is
loaded, it should be verified that it is the approved revision for this model.
NOTE
When a module is replaced, software should be upgraded before switching the unit on. This will
ensure software compatibility of all modules.
5–17 62-11785
The preferred method for setup of the main microprocessor is to use the display mounted keys or a Data Transfer
USB memory device. All required changes, except unit specific and time sensitive data, may be performed using
the USB memory device.
If a USB is not available the main microprocessor may be setup using TRU-Tech. TRU-Tech allows entry of all
required data. If neither a USB memory device or TRU-Tech and service cable is available, the main
microprocessor may be setup for immediate use using the display mounted keys. Changes to the default DataLink
data recorder settings may not be entered using the display mounted keys. If the main microprocessor is setup
using the display mounted keys and this feature is needed, it may be loaded at a later date.
TIP
Print this page and fill out the following for use when entering the data.
1. If possible, power the original system up by entering PC Mode, or by placing the START/RUN - OFF switch
in the START/RUN position.
2. Insert a Data Transfer USB memory device and download all data from the DataLink data recorder.
3. Scroll through the data list and hour meter readings and make note of the unit specific data listed above. If
the original main microprocessor will not power up, gather the unit specific data from the model/serial num-
ber nameplate and estimate hour meter readings from the unit maintenance records. If a Data Transfer USB
memory device will be used to setup the replacement main microprocessor, write the required data to the
device. Also, if the current configuration file is available for this customer from the TransCentral web site, it
should be transferred to the device prior to beginning work.
1. Ensure the unit will not start automatically by disabling any two way communication, placing the START/
RUN-OFF switch in the OFF position and removing the negative battery cable.
2. Release the tabs and remove the two 35 pin connectors and 8 pin connector from the front of the module.

SECTION 7
ALARM TROUBLESHOOTING
! WARNING
APX Control System equipped units may start automatically at any time the START/RUN-OFF
switch is in the START/RUN position. Also, the unit may be fitted with two way communication
equipment that will allow starting of the unit from a remote location even though the switch is
in the OFF position.
! WARNING
When performing service or maintenance procedures: ensure any two way communication is
disabled in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction, ensure the START/RUN-OFF
switch is in OFF position and, whenever practical, disconnect the negative battery connection.
7.1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides guidance for troubleshooting alarms. The alarm light will be illuminated when there is at least
one alarm stored in the system. Instructions for reviewing the active alarm list are provided in Section 3.15 while
instructions for reviewing the inactive alarm list are provided in Section 5.2.2.
When an alarm occurs, look through both active and inactive alarm lists and make note of all alarms. Each alarm
begins with an A (active) or I (inactive) followed by an alarm number and description.
Alarms are listed in this guide by alarm number in ascending order. Alarms that are only activated during a Pretrip
will begin with a capital “P”.
Before beginning to actually troubleshoot an alarm, visually inspect the unit, in particular the area of the unit that is
causing a problem. In many cases the cause of the problem will be obvious once a visual inspection is performed.
For those cases where the cause of the problem is not obvious, this troubleshooting guide will be of assistance.
Troubleshooting should begin with the first alarm that appears in the active alarm list. The first alarm that appears
is the last alarm that was recorded. Other alarms in the list may have contributed to the occurrence of the first
alarm.
The items in the troubleshooting guide are listed in order of their likeliness of occurrence and ease of testing. We
recommend that you follow the order in which they are presented, however, there may be times when situations or
experience lead to the use of a different order. For example, if the trailer is loaded, condensing section checks
should be done first, even though some evaporator section checks may be listed before them.
When the cause of the problem is corrected, it is not necessary to continue through the remainder of the steps.
Some active alarms will inactivate themselves automatically once the cause has been corrected. Alarms that do
not inactivate themselves automatically must be cleared manually. (Refer to Section 7.2, Note 1)
When repairs are completed, run the unit through a Pretrip cycle and verify that no further active alarms occur.
Also, the inactive alarm list should be cleared so that there are no inactive alarms in memory when the unit leaves
the repair facility.
When working on the refrigeration system, an accurately calibrated manifold gauge set should always be installed,
set up to read compressor suction and discharge pressure. Compressor suction pressure is displayed under Unit
Data when in the Driver Mode. If in the Advance User Mode, compressor discharge pressure and temperature will
also be displayed.
In high or low ambient it may be necessary to cool or warm the refrigerated compartment temperature before per-
forming specific tests providing that the compartment is not loaded with temperature sensitive product.
! WARNING
The alarm related troubleshooting procedures in this section are to be performed by properly
trained personnel only.

7.2 NOTES
NOTE
Note 1: The active alarm list may be cleared when in the Driver Mode or Advanced User Mode by
pressing the CLEAR ALARMS soft key. That is: the alarm is “cleared” from the active alarm list and
moved to the inactive alarm list for later review if the condition that caused the alarm has been cor-
rected. When Shutdown Alarms are cleared, the unit will attempt to restart. When non-Shutdown
Alarms are cleared, there will be no noticeable change in the unit’s operation.
The Inactive Alarm list may be cleared when in the Technician Mode in the same way. From the inac-
tive alarm list the technician has the option to “Clear Inactive” alarms only or to “Clear All” alarms.
Clearing the inactive alarm list removes the alarm from the system. However alarms that have been
activated will remain in the data recorder.
NOTE
Note 2: The Virtual Tech system may provide a “signal” voltage when a circuit is not energized (nomi-
nal 3 to 5 volts). This signal voltage is used by the APX Control System to activate an alarm message
if there is a problem in the circuit but should not be used for component testing.
When instructed to test for voltage, energize the component using Component Test Mode to ensure
the correct voltage is being read. Refer to Section 5.2.4. Also, testing may be performed without the
unit starting. To do this, place the unit in PC Mode before using Component Test Mode. Refer to Sec-
tion 5.3.2.
NOTE
Note 3: Sensors may be tested by taking a resistance measurement, at the sensor side of the harness
connector, at the sensor location. To do this, being careful not to damage the connector pins, discon-
nect the sensor from the harness and measure resistance. Refer to Table 8–3 for chart of resistances
for different sensors.
The interconnecting wiring may also be tested by checking for continuity between the harness side of
the connector at the sensor location and the harness side of the connector at the module.
NOTE
Note 4: The switches, (door/remote, high pressure, and defrost air) may be tested by checking conti-
nuity, at the switch side of the harness connector, at the switch location. To do this, being careful not to
damage the connector pins, disconnect the switch from the harness and check continuity to determine
if the switch is open or closed.
The interconnecting wiring for the door/remote and defrost air switches may also be tested by check-
ing for continuity between the harness side of the connector at the switch location and the harness
side of the connector at the module.
The high pressure switch (HPS) interconnecting wiring may be tested by checking for continuity
between the harness side of the connector at the high pressure switch location and the PCM or J-1
harness connector.
NOTE
Note 5: Some tests can only be conducted while the unit is operating. The unit may be started auto-
matically by placing the SROS in the Start/Run position.

8.5.1 Refrigerant System Service Connections
To service the refrigerant system, service equipment is connected at the compressor discharge service valve,
compressor suction service valve, and/or the liquid line service valve.
When connecting to a valve, backseat the valve (turn counterclockwise) to close off gauge connection and attach
service line to the valve. Open valve 1/4 to 1/2 turn (clockwise) and purge the service line. See Figure 8.4 for an
example of a full service connection setup.
NOTE
To avoid damage to the earth’s ozone layer, use a refrigerant recovery system whenever removing
refrigerant from a refrigeration system. When working with refrigerants you must comply with all local
government environmental laws, U.S.A. EPA section 608.
8.5.2 Servicing The Refrigerant Charge
Servicing of the refrigerant charge includes: checking charge level, checking for noncondensibles, removing the
charge, pumping down the low side, pumping down the compressor, adjusting the charge level and adding a
complete charge. Procedures for charge service are provided in the following sub paragraphs.
a. Checking Charge Level
Check refrigerant charge before adding any refrigerant to the system. Only add refrigerant if charge is low. If charge is
low, leak checking must be performed (refer to Section 8.5.3) and all leaks repaired before adding refrigerant.
1. Install a manifold gauge set to allow reading of discharge pressure. See Figure 8.4.
2. Start unit in Continuous Operation. Adjust setpoint so that unit is and operating in economized mode. Use
Technician Mode to verify that the ECXV is open.
3. Run approximately ten minutes - until the refrigeration system is warmed up and the refrigerated compartment
temperature is approaching setpoint.
4. Partially block off air flow to condenser coil so discharge pressure rises to 230 psig (15.7 bar).
5. Check the receiver sight glasses to determine charge. The system is correctly charged when the lower sight
glass is not empty and the upper sight glass is not full.
6. If the system appears to be overcharged or under charged, adjust charge. Refer to following step f.
8–5 62-11785
b. Checking For Noncondensibles
1. Install a manifold gauge set to allow reading of suction and discharge pressure. See Figure 8.4.
2. Stabilize system to equalize pressure between the suction and discharge side of the system. The refrigerant
system needs to be off for several hours.
3. Measure temperature at the copper tubing leaving the condenser (not the sub-cooler).
4. Record compressor discharge pressure.
5. Determine saturation pressure as it corresponds to the condenser temperature using the temperature pressure
chart, Table 8–5.
6. If gauge reading is not close to the calculated saturation pressure in step 5, noncondensibles or mixed
refrigerants are present.
7. Remove refrigerant. Refer to following c. Removing Charge.
8. Leak check, evacuate, and recharge the system.
c. Removing Charge
1. Install a manifold gauge set to allow reading of suction and discharge pressure. See Figure 8.4.
! WARNING
Only a refrigerant cylinder containing R404A should be connected to this refrigeration unit in
order to pressurize the system. However, dry nitrogen may be used to increase pressure. Any
other gas or vapor will contaminate the system and require additional removal and evacuation.
2. Place the unit in Service Mode (Refer to Section 5.2.5). Ensure that the operator message panel displays
“RECOVER/LEAK CHK/EVAC MODE” during the refrigerant removal procedures. If the control system switches
to charge mode during the process, switch it back to the “RECOVER/LEAK CHK/EVAC MODE”.
3. Connect a refrigerant recovery device and a clean refrigerant recovery cylinder (or continue to use the same
cylinder used in step 3) as shown in Figure 8.4, and remove any remaining refrigerant from the system.
4. Refer to instructions provided by the manufacturer of the refrigerant recovery unit.
5. After making necessary repairs, leak check, evacuate and recharge the system.
d. Pumping Down The Low Side
Components on the low side of the refrigeration system (the filter drier, EVXV, ECXV, evaporator coil, CSMV, heat
exchanger, suction line etc.) may be serviced or replaced without having to completely remove the refrigerant charge
from the system by pumping down the low side, and temporarily storing the refrigerant in the condenser and receiver.
NOTICE
The scroll compressor achieves low suction pressure very quickly. Do not use the compressor
to evacuate the system below 0 psig. Never operate the compressor with the suction or
discharge service valves closed (frontseated). Internal damage will result from operating the
compressor in a deep vacuum.
1. Install a manifold gauge set to allow reading of suction and discharge pressure. See Figure 8.4.
2. Start the unit.
3. Frontseat the liquid line service valve.
4. Shutdown the unit when the suction pressure drops to 2 psig (0.2 bar). There should be very little refrigerant
remaining in the low side of the system at this point.
5. Monitor the gauges. The suction pressure should not rise rapidly. If the suction pressure continues to rise, the
liquid line service valve may not be properly closed. In this case, the low side cannot be pumped down and the
entire refrigerant charge must be removed from the system. (Refer to preceding step c.)
6. Ensure the unit will not start automatically by placing the START/RUN-OFF switch in the OFF position.
Disconnect the high voltage source and lockout/tagout the receptacle.
62-11785 8–6
7. Frontseat (close by turning clockwise) the discharge service valve and the refrigerant will be trapped between
the compressor discharge service valve and the liquid line service valve.
8. Before opening up any part of the low side of the system, a slight positive pressure should be indicated on the
pressure gauge. If the pressure is below 0 psig/bar slowly open the liquid line service valve slightly and then
frontseat the valve again. Repeat as necessary in order to raise the pressure above zero.
9. Connect a refrigerant recovery device and a clean refrigerant recovery cylinder to the suction and discharge
service valves and remove any remaining refrigerant from the low side. DO NOT bring the low side pressure
below 0 psig/bar.
10. After making necessary repairs, leak check and evacuate the low side of the refrigeration system. (Refer to
Section 8.5.3 and Section 8.5.4.)
e. Pumping Down The Compressor
The compressor or any of the components attached to it (high pressure switch, oil, etc.) may be serviced or
replaced by pumping the compressor down, and isolating the compressor from the rest of the system.
1. Install a manifold gauge set to allow reading of suction and discharge pressure. See Figure 8.4.
2. If the compressor is operational, start the unit and slowly frontseat the suction service valve. shutdown the unit
when the suction pressure drops to 2 psig (0.2 bar). Ensure the unit will not start automatically by disabling any
two way communication and placing the START/RUN-OFF switch in the OFF position. Disconnect the high
voltage source and lockout/tagout the receptacle. Frontseat the discharge service valve to isolate compressor.
There should be very little refrigerant remaining in the compressor at this point.
3. If the compressor is not operational, ensure the unit will not start automatically by disabling any two way
communication and placing the START/RUN-OFF switch in the OFF position. Disconnect the high voltage
source and lockout/tagout the receptacle. Frontseat both the discharge and suction service valve to isolate the
compressor.
4. Connect a refrigerant recovery device and a clean refrigerant recovery cylinder to the suction and discharge
service valves and remove any remaining refrigerant from the compressor. DO NOT bring the compressor
pressure below 0 psig/bar.
5. After making necessary repairs, leak check and evacuate the compressor. (Refer to Section 8.5.3 and Section
8.5.4.)
f. Adjusting The Charge Level
Adjustment of the charge level may be required when there has been a leak or the system was not correctly
charged during a previous service.
2. If charge removal is required: connect a clean evacuated refrigerant recovery cylinder to the liquid line
service valve. Open liquid valve on cylinder. Midseat liquid line service valve and monitor the liquid refrigerant
flow into the cylinder. If the unit is operating, close the cylinder valve and backseat the liquid line service valve
when the ball in the upper sight glass drops to the bottom of the glass. It the unit is not operating, when
approximately 5 lbs. (2.3 kg) have been removed close the cylinder valve and backseat the liquid line service
valve. Proceed to step 7.
3. If charge is to be added: place cylinder of refrigerant on a scale and connect a charging line and gauge from
cylinder to liquid line service valve. Start unit in Continuous Operation with a setpoint lower than refrigerated
compartment temperature. Wait until unit switches to high speed operation. Run approximately ten minutes.
5. Frontseat the liquid line service valve (turn clockwise) and watch the pressure on the manifold gauge. When the
pressure falls below the pressure in the refrigerant cylinder [or to 50 psig (3.4 bar)], open the cylinder valve and
monitor the liquid refrigerant to flow into the unit.
6. When approximately 5 lbs. (2.3 kg) have been added, close the cylinder valve, and backseat the liquid line
service valve.
7. Recheck for the correct refrigerant charge. (Refer to preceding step a.) Repeat preceding steps as required.
When charge level adjustment is complete, remove refrigerant service equipment.
8–7 62-11785
g. Adding a Complete Charge
2. Determine charge required for this unit (refer to the model/serial number nameplate or Table 2–1) and procure a
refrigerant cylinder with sufficient weight of refrigerant. Place cylinder on scale and connect charging line from
cylinder to liquid line service valve.
4. Open the liquid valve on cylinder. Midseat liquid line service valve and allow liquid refrigerant to flow into the unit
until the correct weight of refrigerant has been added.
NOTE
It is possible that all the required liquid may not be pulled into the receiver, as outlined in step 4. In this
case, add the additional refrigerant in accordance with the charge adjustment procedures, refer to pre-
ceding step f.
5. When scale indicates the correct charge has been added, close liquid valve on cylinder and backseat the liquid
line service valve. Remove charging hose.
! WARNING
Never use air or gases containing oxygen for leak testing or operating refrigerant compres-
sors. Pressurized mixtures of air or gases containing oxygen can lead to explosion.
The condition that the system may be in when leak checking is required include; when the system is charged,
when the system is without charge, when the low side has been pumped down and when only the compressor is to
be leak checked. Procedures for each condition are provided in the following subsections.
a. Leak Checking a Charged System
1. Ensure the unit will not start automatically by placing the START/RUN-OFF switch in the OFF position. Dis-
connect the high voltage source and lockout/tagout the receptacle.
NOTE
Service Mode is not required for this procedure.
2. Verify that the suspected leak area (high side or low side) has sufficient pressure (minimum 20 psig = 1.4 bar) to
detect the leak. The larger the leak the less pressure is required. The smaller the leak, the greater the pressure
required.
3. The recommended procedure for finding leaks from a system is with an electronic leak detector. Checking joints
with soapsuds is satisfactory only for locating large leaks, or pinpointing small leaks once a general area has
been located.
4. Some leaks may be repaired by simply tightening a connection. Others may require removal of the charge, refer
to Section 8.5.2.
1. Ensure the unit will not start automatically by disabling any two way communication and placing the START/
RUN-OFF switch in the OFF position. Disconnect the high voltage source and lockout/tagout the receptacle.
2. Connect refrigerant system equipment if not already connected. Refer to Figure 8.4.

! WARNING
Only a refrigerant cylinder containing R404A should be connected to this refrigeration unit in
order to pressurize the system. However, dry nitrogen may be used to increase pressure. Any
other gas or vapor will contaminate the system and require additional removal and evacuation.
NOTICE
Do not vapor charge R404A. Only liquid charging through the liquid line service valve is
acceptable.
3. Ensure that the operator message panel displays “RECOVER/LEAK CHK/EVAC MODE” during the pressurizing
and leak checking procedures. (Refer to Section 5.2.5.) If the control system switches to Charge Mode during
the process, switch it back to the “RECOVER/LEAK CHK/EVAC MODE”.
4. Pressurize the system 5 to 10 psig (0.3 to 0.7 bar) with refrigerant at the liquid line service valve.
! WARNING
Do not use a nitrogen cylinder without a pressure regulator. Cylinder pressure is approxi-
mately 2350 psig (159.9 bar). Do not use oxygen in or near a refrigerant system as an explosion
may occur. (See Figure 8.15).
5. Connect a cylinder of dry nitrogen. Use the dry nitrogen to increase the pressure as necessary 20 to 150 psig
(1.4 to 10.2 bar) to detect the leak. The larger the leak the less pressure is required. The smaller the leak, the
greater pressure is required.
6. The recommended procedure for finding leaks from a system is with an electronic leak detector. Checking joints
with soapsuds is satisfactory only for locating large leaks, or pinpointing small leaks once a general area has
been located.

2. If possible keep the temperature of the major components (condenser, evaporator, compressor and receiver)
above 60°F (15.6°C) to speed evaporation of moisture. If the temperature is lower than 60°F (15.6°C), ice might
form before moisture removal is complete. Heat lamps, heat guns or alternate sources of heat may be used to
raise system temperature.
3. The recommended method to evacuate the system is to connect three evacuation hoses with vacuum pump and
vacuum indicator (see Figure 8.4).
4. Ensure that the operator message panel displays “RECOVER/LEAK CHK/EVAC MODE” during the evacuation
and dehydration procedures. (Refer to Section 5.2.5.) If the control system switches to Charge Mode during the
process, switch it back to the “RECOVER/LEAK CHK/EVAC MODE”.
5. Leave the liquid line service valve and the discharge service valve frontseated and then midseat the suction
service valve.
6. Start the vacuum pump. Evacuate unit until the electronic vacuum gauge indicates 2000 microns. Close the
vacuum pump valve and shut off the pump. Wait a few minutes to be sure the vacuum holds.
7. Break the vacuum with dry nitrogen through the liquid line service valve. Raise system pressure to approximately
2 psig (0.1 bar). Ensure that the control system does not switch to the Charge Mode. If this occurs, switch it back

Figure 8.6 Compressor Plug Retaining Clip 8. Rotate the compressor to gain access to the
power plug. Remove the power plug retaining clip
(see Figure 8.6) by pulling out gently on the left
side (to clear the shorter left locking tab and rotate
Retainer the right locking tab) and then slide up and off the
Tether
plug. Pull the plug out and away from the
compressor to remove. Disconnect the ground
“D” Ring lead/ terminal from the compressor circle fence.
(Seal)
NOTE
Inspect the power plug terminals to ensure
they are not deformed or have any signs of
Cable
heat or arcing. If any damage is noted,
replace the power cable.
NOTE
DO NOT add any oil to the replacement
compressor. Replacement compressor is
shipped with full oil charge of 60 oz.
10. Install the “D” ring into the square groove of the
STEP 1 STEP 2 power plug.
11. Inject a small amount of lubricant (shipped with the compressor) into each of the pin connections in the power
plug. For ease of installation and to prevent the “D” ring from rolling, use a small amount of the lubricant to
lubricate the outside radius of the “D” ring.
12. Align the power plug with the cutout in the terminal fence. Insert the power plug at a slight angle allowing the “D”
ring to start at the lower portion of the terminal fence. Apply even pressure on the back of the power plug until the
flat surface of the plug seats against the outer face of the terminal fence. Insertion force of the power plug to the
compressor socket may be difficult, use of a blunt hard object to pound compressor plug into the compressor
socket is not recommended. Compressor pin damage may occur if plugs are hammered into place. Use light
tapping from the palm of hand to aid in seating the plug. If the plug is tight fitting, remove plug and inspect the o-
ring for proper seating in groove, add more lubricant & retry.
13. Reinstall the plug retaining bracket or molded plug retainer as required. Inspect that molded plug retainer is fully
engaged in the circle fence, if not engaged correctly, insert the compressor plug deeper into socket and verify the
compressor plug is inserted squarely to the socket.
14. Attach the compressor grounding terminal to the compressor circle fence using new ground screw provided.
Grounding screw is a thread cutting type screw.
NOTE
Due to thread cutting nature of the ground screw, higher initial torque is required to “cut” threads into
the base metal. This high initial torque can mislead one to believe the screw is tight. Visually verify that
screw is actually providing a clamping pressure to the grounding terminal and ring terminal is tight.
16. Place new Teflon seals at the compressor suction and discharge ports. Apply a slight amount of mineral oil
(alkylated benzine oil CTD P/N 07-00274) to the economizer port O-ring, back side of sleeves, and coupling nut
and put in place at the economizer line connection port. Hand tighten all three connections.

The purpose of the CSMV (see Figure 8.10) is to Figure 8.10 Suction Modulation Valve (CSMV)
maintain the compressor within its operating envelope,
maximize unit capacity and maintain temperature
control. 4 Pin Connector Drive & Motor
If it is suspected that the CSMV is malfunctioning, the Assembly
most efficient method of diagnosing the valve is to run
a Pretrip (refer to Section 3.6). The Pretrip steps will Screws
check the remainder of the system and the CSMV
Body
specific test will check the valve. During the CSMV
specific test the valve will be brought to a preset
position, the unit started and then the valve will be
opened while the control system monitors suction
pressure.
If there is a problem with the valve internal motor/piston
assembly or control system wiring to the valve the test
will fail.
NOTE
The APX Micro Service Harness, Carrier P/N 07-00515-00 can be used for this procedure.
2. Place the START/RUN-OFF switch in the START/RUN position, DO NOT ALLOW THE UNIT TO START. When
the MessageCenter displays “SMV CLOSING”, measure the AC voltage on the harness side of the connector
between pins A & B and then between C & D. A voltage (10 to 16 VAC) should be read by the digital voltmeter for
each pair of wires. If the reading is present on all of the wire pairs there is a good signal coming from the control
system.
3. If the reading is not present on one or more of the wire pairs, check the wiring between the control system and
the CSMV connector, or check the control system for proper model number Configuration.
b. Diagnostics - Stepper Motor (SMV)
The valve stepper motor may be tested using a stepper motor drive tester or ohmmeter.
1. To test with a stepper motor drive tester (Carrier Transicold P/N 07-00375-00SV), connect the 4 pin test cable
supplied with the tester to the valve connector, refer to Figure 8.11, and the cable wires to the tester in
accordance with wire and terminal color.
2. Set the step rate to 150 steps per second and either open or close the valve. Each red LED should light
sequentially until all four are illuminated. Any LED failing to illuminate indicates an open on that leg, and a need
to replace the piston and drive motor assembly.
3. To test with an ohmmeter, check the winding Figure 8.11 CSMV Coil
resistance between connector pin A & B and then
between C & D, see Figure 8.11. In normal
ambient, the resistance between the pins should
be 65 to 84 ohms. Also check each terminal to the A (BLACK) 1
(WHITE) B
coil casing (ground). If an out of tolerance or zero
reading is observed, the piston and drive motor
assembly is to be replaced.

62-11785 8–20
c. Diagnostics - Valve
NOTE
If the valve failed pretest and passed the preceding diagnostic testing, this is an indication the valve
mechanism is damaged and the internal motor/piston assembly is to be replaced.
1. To test the valve internal mechanism, install a manifold gauge set on the suction service valve and a stepper
motor drive tester.
2. Start the unit, set the step rate to 150 steps per second and close the valve while watching the suction pressure.
Within one minute the suction pressure should begin to fall. Place the START/RUN-OFF switch in the OFF
position before the reading enters a vacuum.
3. If the suction pressure does not change, this is an indication the valve is stuck and the internal motor/piston
assembly is to be replaced.
2. Remove internal motor/piston assembly and replace with a new assembly and gaskets. The motor/piston
assembly should be set to 100% open when received from the warehouse. This is to ensure the valve seal is
not damaged when it is installed. Ensure the valve is fully open by using the stepper motor tester to manually
open the valve to 100% before it is installed. Ensure the gasket is installed in the body groove, and torque the
body screws 80 to 97 inch/lbs (9 to 11 Nm).
3. Leak check, evacuate & dehydrate, and charge system as required. Refer to Section 8.5.2, Section 8.5.3 &
Section 8.5.4.
In the event that the CSMV system has a failure and replacement components are not readily available, an
emergency, a LIMP-HOME procedure can be done as follows:
1. Install a manifold gauge set.
2. Pump down the low side. Refer to Section 8.5.2.
3. Remove the internal motor/piston assembly.
4. Loosen the Allen screw and remove the piston and screw.
5. Install the motor/piston assembly (without the piston). Torque the nut 35 to 40 ft/lb (47.5 to 54.2 Nm) or body
screws 80 to 97 inch/lbs (9 to 11 Nm) as applicable.
6. Leak check, evacuate & dehydrate, and charge system as required. Refer to Section 8.5.2, Section 8.5.3 &
Section 8.5.4.

NOTE
The stepper test harness, Section 8.7.6, (Carrier Transicold P/N 07-00515) (can also be used to test
the EVXV. If the test harness is used, voltages will be different when measured direct or in-line. The
stepper test harness cannot be used to test the ECXV.
2. Set the voltmeter to the ACV scale. Place the START/RUN−OFF switch in the OFF position and disconnect
the starter motor wire at the weather tight connector. Place the START/RUN−OFF switch back in the
START/RUN position.
3. Perform the following test on the wiring coming from the SVM: Place the positive (+) voltmeter lead on pin E,
the negative (-) voltmeter lead on pin A and observe the meter for several seconds. The voltage reading will
be approximately 5 to 9 VAC depending on valve position.
4. Leave the positive (+) voltmeter lead on pin E and repeat for pins B, C and D. This procedure may have to
be repeated several times to ensure consistent readings due to the 6 second “home” time.
5. To test the ECXV, start the unit and measure the voltage between pins E & A and then between E & B, E &
C and E & D. A voltage should be read by the digital voltmeter for each pair of wires. If voltage is measured
on all of the wire pairs there is a good signal.
6. If there is no voltage reading, or if the voltage never rises to the 5 to 9 VAC level, it indicates a problem in the
wiring or the SVM. Place the START/RUN−OFF switch in the OFF position and reconnect the starter wire.
Test all wiring from the EVXV/ECXV connector to the SVM and verify good continuity, and check the APX
Control System for proper model number configuration before replacing the SVM.

8.7.11 Pressure Transducers
The compressor discharge pressure transducer (CDP) has a range of 0 to 500 psig (0 to 34.0 bar) while the
compressor suction pressure transducer (CSP), evaporator outlet pressure transducer (EVOP), and economizer
pressure transducer (ECOP) have a range of -14.7 to 100 psig (-1 to 6.8 bar). When comparing the transducer
reading in Unit Data to the reading on a manifold gauge, keep in mind the following:
• The compressor discharge pressure reading in Unit Data will never read less than 0 bar/psig, even if it is
exposed to a vacuum (such as when evacuating the system).
• If the compressor discharge pressure transducer has lost power or the signal is not returning to the module
the reading in Unit Data will default to 305 to 315 psig (20.75 to 21.43 bar). Comparisons in this pressure
range are not conclusive.
• The compressor suction pressure and evaporator pressure transducers will never read higher than 100 psig,
even if the actual pressure is higher.
• If the compressor suction pressure or evaporator pressure transducer has lost power or the signal is not
returning to the module the reading in Unit Data will default to 55 to 60 psig (3.74 to 4.08 bar). Comparisons
in this pressure range are not conclusive.
Test Transducer Wiring:
NOTE
The CDP connector is identified with a red tape band while the CSP connector is identified with a blue
band.
2. If required, power the transducer circuit by placing the unit in PC Mode, refer to Section 5.3.2. Check Voltage to
transducer connector. Voltage reading between connector position 2 (positive) and position 1 (negative) should
be 5.0 VDC.
3. To check the signal wiring, check continuity between the transducer connector position 3 and the following
connector:
CDP = 2MM-10, CSP = 2MM-9, EVOP = 2MM-17
4. If voltage and signal wire are good, replace the transducer. The transducer may be removed by
disconnecting the connector and quickly backing it off the Schrader valve fitting. Torque replacement

NOTE
If the DTT temperature is above 40°F (4.4°C) defrost cannot be initiated and the MessageCenter will
display “CANNOT START DEFROST CYCLE”.
1. Check air switch tubing. Red tube is to be connected to the high connection and routed below the coil. Clear
tube is to be connected to the low connection and routed above coil. Check condition and mounting of air
sensing fittings on the coil end of both tubes. See Figure 2.2.
2. To check the defrost air switch, run unit in cooling and jumper across the air switch terminals. This will start the
defrost cycle as it simulates the action of the defrost air switch. Bypassing the switch in this manner operates all
components involved in defrost.
3. Unit should remain in defrost until the DTT and SAT both reach 55°F (12.8°C). At this point the defrost cycle will
terminate, and the unit will resume automatic operation.
4. If the above test indicates satisfactory operation, test DAS settings using a Magnehelic gauge (Carrier Transicold
P/N 07-00177) or similar instrument as follows.
NOTE
The magnehelic gauge may be used in any position, but must be re-zeroed if position of gauge is
changed from vertical to horizontal or vice versa. USE ONLY IN POSITION FOR WHICH IT IS
ZEROED.
6. With air switch in vertical position, connect high pressure side of magnehelic gauge, a tee and aspirator to high
side connection of air switch. Tee is to be placed approximately half-way between gauge and air switch or an
improper reading may result. (See Figure 8.16).
7. Attach an ohmmeter to the air switch electrical contacts to check switch action.
NOTE
Use a hand aspirator (Carrier Transicold P/N 07-00177-01), since blowing into tube by mouth may
cause an incorrect reading.
8. With the gauge reading at zero, apply air pressure very slowly to the air switch. An ohmmeter will indicate
continuity when switch actuates. The switch contacts should close and the ohmmeter needle move rapidly to 0.
Any hesitation in the ohmmeter indicates a possible problem with the switch, and it should be replaced.
9. Refer to Section 2.8 for switch setting. If switch fails to actuate at correct gauge reading, adjust switch by
turning adjusting screw clockwise to increase setting or counterclockwise to decrease setting.
10. Repeat checkout procedure until switch actuates at correct gauge reading.
11. After switch is adjusted, place a small amount of paint or fingernail polish on the adjusting screw so that vibration
will not change switch setting.

8.8.6 Megohmmeter Test Procedure
Check of the electrical insulation integrity and connections using a resistance tester (commonly known as a
megohmmeter or Megger), such as Carrier Transicold P/N 07-00481-00, that can be set to 1000V.
! CAUTION
Before connecting a megohmmeter, place the Main Power switch in the OFF position.
Disconnect the high voltage source, lockout/tagout the receptacle and disconnect the negative
battery connection. Isolate the microprocessor by disconnecting all connectors and wires
going to it. Observe National Electric Manufacturer’s Association (NEMA) rules and test
equipment manufacturers instructions.
1. Connect a tester lead to the unit ground plate Figure 8.20 Megohmmeter Connection to
(Physical Earth, PE plate) inside the control box. Ground Plate
See Figure 8.20.
6. To complete the high voltage circuit testing, test the T1, T2 and T3 terminals on all high voltage contactors listed
in Figure 2.3. The fuses and the Overload Ground Fault Module (OGF) do not need to be tested. All readings
should be greater than 200 M. If not, follow the procedure outlined in step g. If all readings are 200 M or greater,
the testing is complete.
7. If a reading is less than 200 M run the unit for 15 minutes to dry out the windings and test again. If the reading
does not improve to above 200 M after running 15 minutes, check for a short to ground by:
• Visually inspecting the tested component for any poor connections or chafed wires.
• Isolating the component and wire harness.
• Retesting the harness and component (i.e. the motor windings) with the tester to determine where the
short to ground is located.

to pin B.
E D D E
1. Check the FAULT LED on the module. If the LED is illuminated the module has activated and 12 VDC power
supply is correct. Perform a megohm test (refer to Section 8.8.6) to determine if a fault to ground exists.
This test will also help determine if an excessive current condition exists due to leakage to ground. Repair
wiring or components as required.
2. If alarm 00100 OVERLOAD/GROUND FAULT is present and the fault LED (on the module) is not illuminated,
it means that the module has detected an overcurrent. Verify the current readout on the unit data.
If current readings are not reading correctly, the current sensor may be at fault. Go to step 5 & 6 to check the
current sensor.
3. If a problem with the module is suspected, check for 12VDC power to the module at the +12V terminal and
ground at the OV terminal. Correct wiring as required. Reset module by placing the Main Power switch in the
OFF position and then back in the desired position. Check for 12 VDC at the S+ terminal. If LED is off and the
module normally closed connection is open, replace module.
62-11785 8–32
5. Check wiring between CT and pins 1CCB10, 1CCB12, 1CCB31, and 1CCB34 as required.
6. If a problem with the current sensors is suspected, check sensor output. Current sensor inputs to the module are
rated at 16.7mV per Amp. For every Amp that is read at the wires coming from the PSCON T1, T2 and T3
terminals with an amp meter, there should be a corresponding voltage reading on the blue, brown & orange
wires to the black wire. For example: 20Amps = 0.33VAC.
7. Sensor resistance should also be checked, all wires must be disconnected. Check from Black to each phase:
Black to Orange - 22 ohms
Black to Blue - 22 ohms
Black to Brown - 22 ohms
If any resistance values are not within proper range (22 ohms) it indicates a defective sensor.
NOTE
A good preliminary test of the heaters is to run a Pretrip and check for heater alarms.
1. Ensure the unit will not start automatically by disabling any two way communication and placing the START/
RUN-OFF switch in the OFF position. Disconnect the high voltage source and lockout/tagout the receptacle.
3. To determine which heater assembly needs to be replaced, disconnect the suspect heater assembly and check
pin to pin resistance. For heater resistance refer to Section 2.9.
5. Remove and replace faulty heater. If removing a drain pan heater, carefully remove heater from the clips on the
drain pan.
6. When reinstalling brackets torque to 6 to 7 ft/lbs (8.1 to 9.5 Nm). Rods should move freely from side to side when

8.8.12 Battery Charger (BTYC)
NOTE
A battery of known good condition must be connected to the charger before doing the following test.
The charger operates only when the input voltage is between 275 VAC and 640VAC. If either limit is
exceeded it will not function. It should resume charging when the input voltage rises above 275-293
VAC or falls below 620-630 VAC.
1. Run the unit with the battery charger connected to the battery as usual.
2. Using a clamp-on ammeter, take a reading of the amperage on both output wires of the battery charger. If
charging current is between 3 and 40 amps, for 40 amp (three phase) chargers, the battery charger is
functioning correctly.
3. If charging Amps = 0, check the AC input voltage to the charger. The AC input voltage range should be between
350 and 600 VAC.
4. If there is no AC voltage, ensure the unit will not start automatically by disabling any two way communication and
placing the START/RUN-OFF switch in the OFF position. Disconnect the high voltage source and lockout/tagout
the receptacle.
5. Check battery charger fuses and inspect fuse holder wire connections. Inspect plugs, pins and wires at charger
connections.
6. If input voltage, wiring connections and the fuses are good, replace the battery charger.
1. Ensure the unit will not start automatically by placing the START/RUN-OFF switch in the OFF position. Dis-
connect the high voltage source and lockout/tagout the receptacle.
2. Remove the existing sensor. Clean all silicone sealer and dielectric compound from the sensor well. Ensure well

8.8.14 Temperature Sensor Checkout
An accurate ohmmeter must be used to check resistance values shown in Table 8–3 or Table 8–4.
Due to variations and inaccuracies in ohmmeters, thermometers or other test equipment, a reading within 2% of
the chart value would indicate a good sensor. If a sensor is bad, the resistance reading will usually be much higher
or lower than the resistance values given in the tables.
Two preferred methods of determining the actual test temperature at the sensor, is an ice bath at 32°F (0°C) or a
calibrated temperature tester.
