Unit Description (Rev. 04/02)

Operating Modes

The microprocessor uses a complex program to determine

which operating mode the unit should be in. Therefore, it is

difficult to predict which operating mode the unit should be

in by comparing the setpoint to the box temperature. Also,

the different versions of software that are used have some

operational differences.

The diesel engine operates at either low speed or high speed

as determined by the microprocessor. The unit will cool or

heat in either high or low speed. The unit will defrost in low

speed only. Heat and defrost consists of hot gas delivered to

the evaporator coil distributor.

The unit will operate in either the Fresh or Frozen range

(formerly referred to as “Heat Lockout”). The Fresh-Frozen

range transition point is programmable to either 24 F (-4 C)

or 15 F (-9 C). The operation modes shown below utilize

this range as programmed.

Continuous Mode, Setpoint at or Above
Fresh-Frozen Range

Operating mode is controlled by the microprocessor. When

the temperature is within a few degrees of setpoint, the tem-

perature is considered to be in range and the in-range icon

will turn on. The microprocessor will select the operating

mode from the list of possible modes below:

•

High Speed Cool

•

Low Speed Cool

•

Low Speed Modulated Cool (Optional)

•

Low Speed Modulated Heat (Optional)

•

Low Speed Heat

•

High Speed Heat

•

Defrost

CYCLE-SENTRY Mode, Setpoint at or Above
Fresh-Frozen Range

Operating mode is controlled by the microprocessor. When

the temperature is within a few degrees of setpoint, the tem-

perature is considered to be in range and the in-range icon

will turn on. The microprocessor will select the operating

mode from the list of possible modes below:

•

High Speed Cool

•

Low Speed Cool

•

Null (if engine temperature and battery are satisfied)

•

Low Speed Heat

•

High Speed Heat

•

Defrost

Continuous Mode, Setpoint Below Fresh-Frozen
Range

Operating mode is controlled by the microprocessor. When

the temperature is within a few degrees of setpoint, the tem-

perature is considered to be in range and the in-range icon

will turn on. The microprocessor will select the operating

mode from the list of possible modes below:

•

High Speed Cool

•

Low Speed Cool
