3.21 REMOTE PANEL
The unit may be fitted with an optional remote control
panel. The remote panel, which is very similar to the dis-
play module, displays compartment setpoints, compart-
ment temperatures and operating modes (heat, cool or
defrost). The setpoint may be modified and the unit may
be started and stopped using the remote panel. This
compact remote panel can be mounted to suit the indi-
vidual operator’s preferences − on the front bulkhead, or
in the compartment (even in the wall itself). Remote
Panel keys, softkeys and alarm indicators are in the
same locations as the main APX display module.

• Initiate manual defrost
• Check mode of operation

− trip
The Remote Panel cannot be used to:

Mode, Print
The Remote Panel does not have these features:
• There is no USB port on the remote panel
• There is no SROS (Start/Run/Off) switch at the
remote panel. Remote Panel unit ON/Off is con-
trolled by the “UNIT ON/OFF” softkey (replaces
the Engine Hours softkey in the main display)
The following unit functions are controlled the
same as the main display:
• Display compartment temperatures, Section 3.2
• Display the current mode of operation for each
compartment, Section 3.2
• Intelliset selection, Section 3.5
• Initiate Pretrip, Section 3.6
• Initiate Manual Defrost / Defrost Indication, Sec-
tion 3.11
• Control display indication lock, Section 3.14
Turning the Unit On/Off at the Remote Panel:
The unit can be shutdown using either the remote
panel or the SROS switch on the Main Panel. The
remote panel cannot operate if the SROS switch is in
the OFF position.
In order to prevent a constant drain on the battery, the
remote panel illuminates when the SROS switch is
turned on, but the remote panel turns off after 30 min-
utes of inactivity. To turn the remote panel back on,
simply press any button on the remote panel. The
panel will turn off again after 30 minutes of inactivity.
1. On the remote panel press and release the
“MENU” key until the “UNIT ON/OFF” soft key is
displayed.
NOTE
The “UNIT ON/OFF” soft key on the remote
panel takes the place of the “ENGINE
HOURS” softkey in the main display.
2. To turn the unit ON, press the “UNIT ON/OFF”
softkey. The remote display will read “UNIT ON”.
3. To turn the unit OFF, press the “UNIT ON/OFF”
softkey. The remote display will read “UNIT
SHUT DOWN BY REMOTE PANEL.”
