 SAFETY SUMMARY

SAFETY SUMMARY
GENERAL SAFETY NOTICES
The following general safety notices supplement the specific warnings and cautions appearing elsewhere in this
manual. They are recommended precautions that must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance
of the equipment covered herein. The general safety notices are presented in the following three sections labeled: First
Aid, Operating Precautions and Maintenance Precautions. A listing of the specific warnings and cautions appearing
elsewhere in the manual follows the general safety notices.

FIRST AID
An injury, no matter how slight, should never go unattended. Always obtain first aid or medical attention immediately.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Always wear safety glasses.
Keep hands, clothing and tools clear of the evaporator and condenser fans.
No work should be performed on the unit until all circuit breakers, start-stop switches are turned off, and power supply
is disconnected.
Always work in pairs. Never work on the equipment alone.
In case of severe vibration or unusual noise, stop the unit and investigate.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
Beware of unannounced starting of the evaporator and condenser fans. Do not open the condenser fan grille or
evaporator access panels before turning power off, disconnecting and securing the power plug.
Be sure power is turned off before working on motors, controllers, solenoid valves and electrical control switches. Tag
circuit breaker and power supply to prevent accidental energizing of circuit.
Do not bypass any electrical safety devices, e.g. bridging an overload, or using any sort of jumper wires. Problems
with the system should be diagnosed, and any necessary repairs performed, by qualified service personnel.
When performing any arc welding on the unit or container, disconnect all wire harness connectors from the modules in
both control boxes. Do not remove wire harness from the modules unless you are grounded to the unit frame with a
static safe wrist strap.
In case of electrical fire, open circuit switch and extinguish with CO2 (never use water).

Safety-1 T-285-01
SPECIFIC WARNING AND CAUTION STATEMENTS
To help identify the label hazards on the Unit and explain the level of awareness each one carries, an explanation is
given with the appropriate consequences:
DANGER -- means an immediate hazard which WILL result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING -- means to warn against hazards or unsafe conditions which COULD result in severe personal injury or
death.
CAUTION -- means to warn against potential hazard or unsafe practice which could result in minor personal injury,
product or property damage.
The statements listed below are applicable to the refrigeration unit and appear elsewhere in this manual. These rec-
ommended precautions must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance of the equipment covered
herein.
WARNING
When servicing the unit, use caution when handling R-134a. The refrigerant when in contact with
high temperatures (about 1000_F) will decompose into highly corrosive and toxic compounds.
WARNING
Be sure to avoid refrigerant coming in contact with the eyes. Should refrigerant come in contact
with the eyes, wash eyes for a minimum of 15 minutes with potable water only. THE USE OF
MINERAL OIL OR REFRIGERANT OILS IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
WARNING
Be sure to avoid refrigerant coming in contact with the skin. Should refrigerant come in contact
with the skin, it should be treated as if the skin had been frostbitten or frozen.
WARNING
Be sure ventilation in the workspace is adequate to keep the concentration of refrigerant below
1000 parts per million. If necessary, use portable blowers.
WARNING
Beware of rotating fan blades and unannounced starting of fans.
WARNING
Do not use a nitrogen cylinder without a pressure regulator. Never mix refrigerants with air for
leak testing. It has been determined that pressurized, air-rich mixtures of refrigerants and air can
undergo combustion when exposed to an ignition source.
WARNING
Never fill a refrigerant cylinder beyond its rated capacity. Cylinder may rupture due to excessive
pressure when exposed to high temperatures.
WARNING
When starting the unit, be sure that all manual refrigerant valves in the discharge line are open.
Severe damage could occur from extremely high refrigerant pressures.

The time interval of the first defrost will not begin counting down until defrost

defrost cycle is entered into the Controller at the time DTS is below 10_C (50_F)
or at power-up. (See code Cd37 for deviations.) If DTS reaches 25.6_C (78_F) at
any time during the timer count down, the interval is reset and the countdown
begins over. If DTS has failed (i.e., alarm code AL60 is active) and the primary

6.1 MANIFOLD GAUGE SET Low Pressure High Pressure

Gauge Gauge
The manifold gauge set can be used to determine system
operating pressure, add a refrigerant charge, and to
equalize or evacuate the system.
Figure 6-1 shows hand valves, gauges and refrigerant
openings. When the low pressure hand valve is
frontseated (turned all the way in), the low (evaporator)
pressure can be checked. When the high pressure hand
valve is frontseated, high (condensing) pressure can be
checked. When both valves are open (turned
counter-clockwise all the way out), high pressure vapor
will flow into the low side. When the low pressure valve A C B
is open, the system can be charged. Oil can also be
added to the system. Opened

NOTE
If a manifold gauge set is new or was exposed to

To prevent trapping liquid refrigerant in the

ELECTRICAL WIRING SCHEMATIC AND DIAGRAMS

7.1 INTRODUCTION

This section contains Electrical Schematics and Wiring Diagrams covering the Model listed in Table 1-1. The
following general safety notices supplement the specific warnings and cautions appearing elsewhere in this manual.
They are recommended precautions that must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance of the
equipment covered herein.

WARNING
It has been determined that pressurized, air-rich mixtures of refrigerants and air can undergo
combustion when exposed to an ignition source.
WARNING
Beware of unannounced starting of the evaporator and condenser fans. Do not open the condenser fan
grille before turning power OFF and disconnecting power plug.
WARNING
Make sure power to the unit is OFF and power plug disconnected before removing capacitor(s).
WARNING
Do not attempt to remove power plug(s) before turning OFF start-stop switch (ST), unit circuit
breaker, and external power source.
Make sure the power plugs are clean and dry before connecting to any power receptacle.
WARNING
Make sure power to the unit is OFF and power plug disconnected before replacing the compressor.
WARNING
Before disassembly of the compressor make sure to relieve the internal pressure very carefully by
slightly loosening the bolts on both service valve flanges/blank valve pads, then lightly tapping sides of
the valve flanges/pads with a hammer to break the seal.
CAUTION
Use only Carrier Transicold approved Polyol Ester Oil (POE) -- Castrol-Icematic SW20 compressor oil
with R-134a. Buy in quantities of one quart or smaller. When using this hygroscopic oil, immediately
reseal. Do not leave container of oil open or contamination will occur.
WARNING
Do not attempt to do service work on the Controller/DataCORDER module. Breaking of the warranty
seal will void the warranty.
CAUTION
Remove the Controller/DataCORDER module and unplug all wire harness connectors before
performing any arc welding on any part of the container.
Do not remove wire harnesses from module unless you are grounded to the unit frame with a static safe
wrist strap.
NOTE
To avoid damage to the earth’s ozone layer, use a refrigerant recovery system whenever removing refrigerant.
When working with refrigerants you must comply with all local government environmental laws. In the
U.S.A., refer to EPA section 608.
