Unit Description Introduction • Model 10: Cool and defrost on truck engine driven compressor operation. • Model 20: Cool and defrost on both truck engine driven compressor operation and electric standby compressor operation. • Model 30: Cool, heat, and defrost on truck engine driven compressor operation. Only available on MAX units. •...
U U n n i i t t D D e e s s c c r r i i p p t t i i o o n n • V-Series MAX units use R-452A or R-404A refrigerant. Liquid Injection System MAX units use R-404A or R-452A.
U U n n i i t t D D e e s s c c r r i i p p t t i i o o n n This option is added to Model 10 and 20 units to allow the unit to use engine coolant to heat the cargo compartment as require during truck engine operation.
U U n n i i t t D D e e s s c c r r i i p p t t i i o o n n Discharge Check Valve This valve is only used on Model 20 and Model 50 units. It isolates the engine driven compressor from the electric standby compressor, ensuring the compressor oil and refrigerant do not migrate between compressors.
U U n n i i t t D D e e s s c c r r i i p p t t i i o o n n Unit Operation Standard Model 10 and 20 units (without heat options) operate in Cool mode or Null mode, as required, to maintain the load compartment temperature at the setpoint temperature.
U U n n i i t t D D e e s s c c r r i i p p t t i i o o n n Operation The vehicle engine must be running and the unit must be turned on. On units with Electric Standby, connect the external power cord and the unit switches to Electric mode operation.

Electrical Maintenance Electronic Control System Refer to the Direct Smart Reefer III Microprocessor Control System Diagnostic Manual TK 61096 for complete service information about Electronic Control System and the related components. Defrost System Defrost is initiated automatically by the programmable defrost timer, or manually by means of the In-Cab Control Box. If demand defrost is enabled, a demand defrost cycle occurs, based on the Defrost Initiation Timer (DIT) and the Defrost Termination Switch being closed.
