To verify the accuracy of the data log from the Thermo King Precedent C-600, use the CargoWatch system, which logs data such as setpoint and, if optional sensors are installed, up to six temperature readings and four door switch statuses. Use the USB port to download the data for review. Ensure sensors are correctly installed and readings are consistent with expected values.
If the unit is malfunctioning and shows alarm codes like "Internal ECU Fault" or "Unknown ECU Fault," and the unit is shut down, repair it immediately. Otherwise, report the alarm at the end of the day as specified by the alarm code actions.

How do we know whether or not reefer unit is running normal operation. Will there be any pre-alert or alarm error whenever unit is malfunction ? If yes, from where can we retreive such data ?

To determine if the Thermo King Precedent C-600 reefer unit is operating normally, you can perform a Pretrip Test using the unit's interface:
1. Access the Pretrip Menu and press the SELECT key to start the test. 2. If the unit is off, a Full Pretrip Test will begin. If it's running, a Running Pretrip Test will be performed. 3. The display will show test progress (e.g., Test 1 of 26). 4. When all tests are complete, results will show as PASS, CHECK, or FAIL. - PASS means normal operation. - CHECK or FAIL indicates an issue; alarm codes will help identify the cause.
Yes, the unit provides alerts and alarms for malfunctions:
- Log Alarms: Indicate maintenance needs; shown for 30 seconds at startup. - Check Alarms: Require service within 24 hours; unit continues running but with limited functions. - Prevent Alarms: Temporarily shut down the unit; may restart with reduced performance. - Shutdown Alarms: Stop the unit completely until the issue is fixed.
You can retrieve alarm and operation data from the Alarm Menu on the unit display. A connected USB flash drive can also store data if configured.

Do you have a question about the Thermo King Precedent C-600 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
how do I know whether or not data log downloaded from cargowatch data log is accurate ? What if the unit is malfunctioned ?
To verify the accuracy of the data log from the Thermo King Precedent C-600, use the CargoWatch system, which logs data such as setpoint and, if optional sensors are installed, up to six temperature readings and four door switch statuses. Use the USB port to download the data for review. Ensure sensors are correctly installed and readings are consistent with expected values.
If the unit is malfunctioning and shows alarm codes like "Internal ECU Fault" or "Unknown ECU Fault," and the unit is shut down, repair it immediately. Otherwise, report the alarm at the end of the day as specified by the alarm code actions.

How do we know whether or not reefer unit is running normal operation. Will there be any pre-alert or alarm error whenever unit is malfunction ? If yes, from where can we retreive such data ?
To determine if the Thermo King Precedent C-600 reefer unit is operating normally, you can perform a Pretrip Test using the unit's interface:
1. Access the Pretrip Menu and press the SELECT key to start the test.
2. If the unit is off, a Full Pretrip Test will begin. If it's running, a Running Pretrip Test will be performed.
3. The display will show test progress (e.g., Test 1 of 26).
4. When all tests are complete, results will show as PASS, CHECK, or FAIL.
- PASS means normal operation.
- CHECK or FAIL indicates an issue; alarm codes will help identify the cause.
Yes, the unit provides alerts and alarms for malfunctions:
- Log Alarms: Indicate maintenance needs; shown for 30 seconds at startup.
- Check Alarms: Require service within 24 hours; unit continues running but with limited functions.
- Prevent Alarms: Temporarily shut down the unit; may restart with reduced performance.
- Shutdown Alarms: Stop the unit completely until the issue is fixed.
You can retrieve alarm and operation data from the Alarm Menu on the unit display. A connected USB flash drive can also store data if configured.
