reading is displayed, recorded in the DataLink data re-
corder and used to control the refrigeration system. It is
located on on a bracket behind the center of the return
air grille.
f. Supply Air Temperature Sensor (1SAT)
The 1SAT is a temperature control probe which provides
the microprocessor with information on the temperature
of the air leaving the evaporator section. The reading is
displayed, recorded in the DataLink data recorder and
used to control the refrigeration system. It is located in
the roadside of the supply air outlet housing.
2.5 SYSTEM OPERATING CONTROLS AND
COMPONENTS
Temperature control is provided by the Carrier
Transicold Advance
microprocessor is set at the desired temperature, the
unit will operate automatically to maintain the desired
temperature within very close limits.

2.5.1 Multiple Languages

Messages in the MessageCenter can be displayed in
English, French, Spanish or Portuguese.
Press and hold the Select Key for 6 seconds to view or
change the current language selection. Refer to Section
3.15 for more information on language selection.

2.5.2 Automatic Start-Stop

Standard equipment includes an auto start-stop feature.
This feature provides automatic cycling of the diesel
engine, which in turn offers an energy efficient
alternative to continuous operation of the engine with
control of temperature by alternate cooling and heating
of the supply air (evaporator outlet air).

2.5.3 Special Features

The following additional
incorporated into the Carrier Transicold Advance
Microprocessor:
S An LCD display MessageCenter which clearly dis-
plays all information in dot matrix form.
S Unit Operation & Alarms are displayed in text (not in
codes).
S Unit Data and Functional Parameters.
S Programmable Maintenance Hour Meters (resettable
from the Keypad).
S Bright LED Alarm & Indicator Lights.
S Fully Automated Pretrip.

2.5.4 Component Description And Location
The hardware
microprocessor includes the control module, display,
keypad and switch board. The hardware is housed, for
driver access, in the control box on the lower roadside
corner of the unit.
Under no circumstances should anyone at-
the
tempt to repair the keypad, display or in-
ternal control module components. Should
a problem develop with these components,
contact your nearest Carrier Transicold
dealer for replacement.
a. Control Module
The control module (see Figure 2−9) consists of the
microprocessor (with status LEDs), 3 fuses (F1, F2, &
F3), a DC current sensor (CT1), 2 relays (RR & SR), 2
status LED's (LED30 & LED31), 6 input/output
connectors (QC), 6 digital input/output connectors
(MP), a programming card slot (with status LED's) and
twenty three FET indicating LEDs.
The microprocessor is totally self contained and does
not contain
Microprocessor activity can be determined by observing
the LED's and FET's (see Figure 2−9 and Table 5−1). If
the microprocessor is calling for a circuit to be
energized, the indicator is illuminated.
are
The PC card slot allows programming of the
microprocessor using Carrier Transicold PC Cards. The
microprocessor automatically detects the presence and
type of PC Card inserted and responds accordingly. The
different types of PC Cards are:
S
Download Card for copying unit data from DataLink
data recorder.
S
Options PC Card for installing optional software
programs such as DataTrak or IntelliSet.
S
Configuration PC Card for setting the Microprocessor
Functions, Configurations, IntelliSets and DataLink
data recorder Configurations.
S
Program PC Card for upgrading the microprocessor
software.
There are three LEDs associated with the function of the
PC card slot. These are:
•
A green Micro Status LED which will blink steadily
once per second indicating that the microprocessor is
operating and will blink every 0.5 seconds if there is no
software or if it is loading software.
•
A green (PC) Card Status LED which comes on when
there is a PC card inserted in the slot. This LED will:
