ENGINE
Engine power for the T-1200R, T-1000R, T-1200R SPECTRUM, T-1000R SPECTRUM, and UT-Series is a three cylinder,
TK376/TK376U, a special clean and quiet diesel engine rated at 18.8 continuous horsepower (14.0 kW) at 2200 RPM, 18.9
continuous horsepower (14.1 kW) at 2250 RPM, and 19.6 continuous horsepower (14.6 kW) at 2425 RPM.
Engine power for the T-600R, T-800R, RT-800R and T-800R SPECTRUM is provided by the engine TK370 rated at 14.5
continuous horsepower (10.8 kW) at 2250 RPM.
Engine power for the T-500R/T-Dairy is provided by the engine TK270 rated at 10.0
continuous horsepower (7.5 kW) at 2300 RPM.
A belt drive system transfers energy to the compressor, unit fans and alternator.
ELC (Extended Life Coolant)
The maintenance interval for ELC is five years or 12,000 hours. A nameplate on the coolant expansion tank identifies units
with ELC (see “Safety Decals and Locations”). The new engine coolant, Texaco Extended Life Coolant, is Red instead of the
previous Green or Blue-Green coolants.
Note: The use of 50/50% pre-mixed ELC is recommended to ensure that deionized water is being used. If 100% full strength
concentrate is used, deionized or distilled water is recommended instead of tap water to ensure the integrity of the cooling
system is maintained.
Clutch
The centrifugal clutch engages fully at 600 ± 100 RPM on engine operation, constantly turning the compressor, alternator, and
fans at both high and low speed. The clutch isolates the engine from the belt drive system during electric standby operation on
Model 50 units.
Compressor
The T- Series units feature reliable four-cylinder reciprocating compressors. T-500R/T-Dairy, T-600R and T-800R - X214,
T-1000R - X426 and T-1200R - X430 compressors
The UT-Series features a TKO Scroll Compressor
STANDARD HMI CONTROL PANEL
The Standard HMI Control Panel (Human/Machine Interface) is used to operate the unit and display unit information. The
Control Panel is typically located in the vehicle driver's compartment and communicates with the base controller using a
connection on the interface board.

CAUTION: Do not add Green or Blue-Green coolants to cooling systems that use Red Extended Life
Coolants.
