3. If there is an alarm present, the alarm message will be displayed in the MessageCenter and the alarm LED will flash for five seconds. If one or more shutdown alarms are present, the alarm(s) must be cleared before the unit will start. 4.
Inspect Mode Inspect mode provides an additional layer of safety for operators and technicians. Inspect mode should be used during all pretrip inspections of the unit. Inspect mode is a user activated feature that forces the unit to shutdown and remain in shutdown regardless of operating state.

Exit Inspect Mode 1. While the unit is in Inspect mode, the EXIT soft key will be available, all other keys and functions will be locked out. 2. Press the EXIT soft key to disable Inspect mode, the unit will resume standard operation.
IntelliSet™ Products carried or stored in a refrigerated compartment require a multitude of refrigerant 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 up to 40 different products.

Page 20
TECHNICIAN RESET REQUIRED: Displayed if certain alarms or a combination of alarms have been activated a defined number of times within a set amount of time. The unit must be brought to a Carrier Transicold Dealer for service. BATTERY VOLTAGE TOO LOW: Displayed when the unit battery voltage is too low to allow the unit to start and run.
Pretrip Pretrip is a set of tests run by the 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. START/STOP DIESEL COOL Viewing Menu Soft Key Selections...

10. Changing Setpoint START/STOP DIESEL COOL .3 34 BOX TEMPERATURE SETPOINT STATUS OK 1. With the system powered up (START/RUN-OFF switch in the START/ RUN position) and the default screen displayed (press the BACK or EXIT soft key if required), press the ▲ or ▼ key to bring the displayed setpoint to the desired value.
11. Start-Stop or Continuous Operation Start-Stop is provided to reduce fuel consumption. This feature allows full automatic control of the unit starting and stopping by monitoring compartment temperature, battery charge condition and engine coolant temperature. The main function of Start-Stop Operation is to turn off the refrigeration system near setpoint to provide an efficient temperature control system and to initiate a restart sequence after certain conditions are met.
Page 26
Whenever the unit starts in Start-Stop, it will run until: • The selected minimum run time has expired. • The compartment temperature is at setpoint. • The battery is fully charged (as indicated in the MessageCenter by “OK” after the voltage value) AND the charging amps are less than the Configuration setting.
12. Data Recorder / Trip Start The Data Recorder records data while the START/RUN - OFF switch is in the START/RUN position.

21. Product Loading 21.1 Before Loading • Pre-cool the compartment. This will remove much of the heat from the inside of the compartment (including the walls and insulation) and give the product better protection when it is loaded. • If possible, Place the unit in a defrost cycle immediately before loading. This will remove moisture accumulated on the evaporator coil.
