5.4.2 Program PC Card

A program card is used to load software into the
microprocessor. The card may contain any software
version however, only one version may be loaded to the
card at a time.
For complete instructions on loading data to the card
using ReeferManager, refer to manual 62-10889.
Software may be downloaded by a Carrier Transicold
dealer from the TransCentral site.
Whenever performing a major operation to a
microprocessor, such as installing new operat-
ing software, it is always a good idea to start the
unit and give it a quick check over prior to per-
forming the operation.
NOTE
Once the unit shuts down to begin the software
install process, the Compressor Suction Modu-
lation Valve closing process begins. The soft-
ware installation processes will not begin until
the CSMV is completely closed, which will delay
the actual process for about 45 seconds.

NOT INTERRUPT THE SOFTWARE INSTAL-

Also, do not place the Main Power switch in
the OFF position during the initial power up
following a software upgrade.
To load software from the card into the microprocessor,
insert the card in accordance with the instructions
provided in Figure 5−3.
When loading new software, the MessageCenter will
display one of 3 different messages:
SAME SW: "= TO LOAD, ↑ TO CANCEL"
(The software loaded on the card is the same as the
software presently in the microprocessor)
OLD SW: "= TO LOAD, ↑ TO CANCEL"
(The software loaded on the card is older than the
software presently in the microprocessor)
NEW SW: "= TO LOAD, ↑ TO CANCEL"
(The software loaded on the card is newer than the
software presently in the microprocessor)
