Container Product Matrix

As part of Carrier Transicold"s continued commitment to customer satisfaction, we have updated the online version of the Container Products Matrix T-300 manual. It can be accessed from Carrier Transicold"s TransCentral™ Web site at https://www.transcentral.carrier.com.

Evacuation and Dehydration

After performing refrigeration service work on a unit, it is necessary to evacuate and dehydrate the unit to ensure long term operational performance and reliability.

Software Release Update

Listed below are the most current software release versions for operating and working with Carrier Transicold container units. Prior to upgrading units you should seek agreement from the equipment owners.

Safety First General Practices

Safety rules are very helpful in preventing occupational injuries. The majority of all injuries are associated with the complacency and forgiveness to use safety routines and equipment.

Code Select 59 (PL Pump Down)

If pumping the unit down is required for low side service, the Carrier PrimeLINE® unit has a code select feature to assist. By choosing code select 59, the user will be advised to close (front seat) the Liquid Line Valve (king valve).

Micro-Link® 3 Controller / ERR1

In June 2011, Carrier Transicold released software version 5352 to address the normal aging of the flash memory chip with regards to read/write response times in the Datacorder on older MicroLink® 3 controllers (3+ years). With this, we also released and posted on the TransCentral™ web-site software that can be used to reset a controller with an active ERR1.
