1. Bulb mode code Cd35 is set to “Nor.”
2. Dehumidification code Cd33 is set to “Off.”
3. The user changes the set point to one

that is in the frozen range.

When bulb mode is disabled by any of the above, the

evaporator fan operation for dehumidification reverts to

“alt” and the DTS termination setting resets to the value

determined by controller configuration variable CnF41.

3.3.10 Temperature Control -- Frozen Mode

With configuration variable CnF26 (Heat Lockout

Temperature) set to --10_C the frozen mode of operation

is active with set points at or below --10_C (+14_F).

With the variable set to --5_C, the frozen mode is active

at or below --5_C (+23_F).
When in the frozen mode the controller maintains the

return air temperature at set point, the RETURN

indicator light will be illuminated on the display module

and the default reading on the display window will be

the return air probe reading.
When the return air temperature enters the in-range

temperature tolerance as selected at function code

Cd30, the in-range light will energize.

3.3.11 Frozen Mode -- Conventional

Frozen range cargos are not sensitive to minor

temperature changes. The method of temperature

control employed in this range takes advantage of this

fact to greatly improve the energy efficiency of the unit.

Temperature control in the frozen range is accomplished

by cycling the compressor on and off as the load demand

requires.
When cooling from a temperature that is more than

2.5_C (4.5_F) above set point, the system will be in the

frozen pull down mode. It will transition to economized

operation with a target SMV position of 100% open.

However, pressure and current limit functions may

restrict the valve, if either exceeds the preset value.
Once set point is reached, the unit will transition to the

frozen steady state mode. (Economized operation with

maximum allowed suction modulating valve opening.)
When temperature drops to set point minus 0.2_C and

the compressor has run for at least five minutes, the unit

will transition to the frozen idle mode. The compressor

is turned off and the evaporator fans continue to run to

circulate air throughout the container. If temperature

rises above set point +0.2_C, the unit will transition

back to the frozen steady state mode.
If the temperature drops 10_C below set point, the unit

will transition to the frozen “heating” mode. In the

frozen heating mode the evaporator fans are brought to

high speed. The unit will transition back to the frozen

steady state mode when the temperature rises back to the

transition point.
3.3.12 Frozen Mode -- Economy
In order to activate economy frozen mode operation, a

frozen set point temperature must be selected. The

economy mode is active when function code Cd34 is set

to “ON”. When economy mode frozen is active, the

system will perform normal frozen mode operations

except that the entire refrigeration system, excluding

the controller, will be turned off when the control

temperature is less than or equal to the set point -- 2_C.

After an off-cycle period of 60 minutes, the unit will

turn on high speed evaporator fans for three minutes,

and then check the control temperature. If the control

temperature is greater than or equal to the set point +

0.2_C., the unit will restart the refrigeration system and

continue to cool until the previously mentioned

off-cycle temperature criteria are met. If the control

temperature is less than the set point + 0.2_C, the unit

will turn off the evaporator fans and restart another 60

minute off-cycle.

3.4 CONTROLLER ALARMS

Alarm display is an independent controller software

function. If an operating parameter is outside of

expected range or a components does not return the

correct signals back to the controller an alarm is

generated. A listing of the alarms is provided in

Table 3-6.
The alarm philosophy balances the protection of the

refrigeration unit and that of the refrigerated cargo. The

action taken when an error is detected always considers

the survival of the cargo. Rechecks are made to confirm

that an error actually exists.
Some alarms requiring compressor shutdown have time

delays before and after to try to keep the compressor on

line. An example is alarm code “LO”, (low main

voltage), when a voltage drop of over 25% occurs, an

indication is given on the display, but the unit will

continue to run.
When an Alarm Occurs:
a. The red alarm light will illuminate for alarm code

numbers 13, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27.

b. If a detectable problem is found to exist, its alarm

code will be alternately displayed with the set point

on the left display.

c. The user should scroll through the alarm list to deter-

mine what alarms exist or have existed. Alarms must

be diagnosed and corrected before the Alarm List can

be cleared.

To Display Alarm Codes :
a. While in the Default Display mode, press the

ALARM LIST key. This accesses the Alarm List Dis-

play Mode, which displays any alarms archived in the

Alarm Queue.

b. The alarm queue stores up to 16 alarms in the se-

quence in which they occurred. The user may scroll

through the list by depressing an ARROW key.

c. The left display will show “AL##,” where ## is the

alarm number sequentially in the queue.

d. The right display will show the actual alarm code.

“AA##” will display for an active alarm, where “##”

is the alarm code. Or “IA##” will display for an inac-

tive alarm. See Table 3-6.
