If the cab command is built into the vehicle control panel it
must be located as far as possible from the heating ducts.
Maximum temperature of exposure: 70°C (150°F).
4.2. OPERATION PRINCIPLE
4.2.1. POWER SOURCE
4.2.1.1. IN "ROAD" MODE
PULSOR® units are equipped with the E-Drive all electric system,
which removes mechanical transmissions found in belt-driven refrig-
eration systems and transforms engine power into electricity through
a generator.
The generator is driven by the vehicle's batteries and supplies volt-
age to an inverter, which distributes it to the various components of
the unit.
The unit automatically starts or stops when the vehicle's engine is
switched on or off using the ignition switch.
4.2.1.2. IN "STANDBY" MODE
PULSOR® units can operate when the vehicle is docked by plugging
it into the mains.
The power connection is automatically detected by the unit, which
starts in "Standby" mode after pressing the ON key.
4.2.2. OPERATING MODES
4.2.2.1. CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE (COOLING &
HEATING)
As soon as the setpoint temperature has been reached, the temper-
ature control is achieved by the start-up and shut down of the com-
pressor.
The evaporator(s) fan(s) are programmed to stop during regulation.
When transporting fragile loads such as fresh meat, vegetables and
cheese, it is possible to program the microprocessor to obtain con-
tinuous ventilation by the evaporator during regulation.
To activate or deactivate the function, please refer to the Sec-
tion 5.8, “Set user function” > "EFOr" function.
4.2.2.2. DEFROST
Frost gradually builds up on the evaporator coils during normal op-
eration. The evaporator coil is defrosted by sending hot gas through
the coil (or by using optional electric heater(s)).
Defrost operation is fully automatic from start to finish but, can be
manually initiated if required.
For further information, please refer to the Section 5.4, “Start
a manual defrost mode”.
The start-up parameters can also be changed from automat-
ic to fixed interval. Please refer to the Section 5.8, “Set user
function”.
4.2.2.3. EUTECTIC SPECIFICITIES
PULSOR® units can be equipped with eutectic plates in addition to
an evaporator in order to reach deep-frozen temperatures.
Theses units require special care in order to work properly:
- Deep-frozen temperature require extra time to be reached, there-
fore, units must be started well before your drive (e.g. the night be-
fore) to reach the desired temperature.
- Frost gradually builds up on the eutectic plates. Unlike a regular
evaporator, the defrost sequence is not automatic, but is still crucial
for proper operation, which is why the unit must be defrosted man-
ually on a regular basis.
For further information, please refer to the Section 5.6, “De-
frost the eutectic compartment”.
The eutectic compartment is locked at -40°C (-40°F) and its
set point cannot be changed.

5. OPERATION
5.1. START THE UNIT
Power source selection is fully automatic. This is why there
is no button to select the desired mode. A soon as one op-
erating mode is disabled, the unit automatically starts up in
the other mode.
If the vehicle's ignition is switched on while the PULSOR®
unit is connected to the mains ("Standby" mode) or if the pow-
er plug is connected while the vehicle's engine is running
("Road" mode), the cab command unit will trigger a visual
alarm, in the form of a flashing red malfunction indicator light
and a A035 code.
As soon as one operating mode is disabled, the unit auto-
matically starts up in the other mode and returns to normal
functioning.
5.1.1. "ROAD" MODE
1. Switch on the vehicle's ignition.
2. Press the ON key to start the unit.*
After a prolonged shutdown in cold weather, the
compressor needs to warm up.
During this sequence, the unit displays "CPHT" for 3 to
12 minutes (the duration varies according to the ambient
temperature).
DO NOT SWITCH OFF while "CPHT" is displayed.
3. The setpoint will be highlighted for 5 seconds, followed by the
actual box temperature.
* Once you have started the unit at the beginning of your
drive, the following start and stop sequences are performed
automatically by the vehicle's ignition system.
5.1.2. "STANDBY" MODE
For safe & reliable operation in "Standby" mode, it is important
to consider the following guidelines:
A. ALWAYS check that the unit is OFF from the cab command
before connecting or disconnecting it from the mains.
B. The unit connection cable must be fitted with a ground
connection. The cable must be connected to earth.
C. On the 230V / 400V power supply, the unit must be connected
to a high sensitivity differential protection (30 mA).
D. Operations on the 230V / 400V power supply to the unit must
only be carried out by authorized personnel.
THE USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THE
ABOVE MEASURES ARE TAKEN AND COMPLIED WITH.

DEFROST Properly defrost your transport refrigeration unit.
CLEAN THE EQUIPMENT Especially the interior: walls, roof and
floor.
When washing the vehicle, DO NOT point the high-pres-
sure water under the skin.
DO NOT spray water on electric components.
Units charged with low GWP refrigerant are equipped
with refrigerant detectors that are located in the evapora-
tor section (these detectors are identified by a sticker).
Pay special attention to these electrical detectors when
cleaning, DO NOT spray water on them.
When washing the interior, DO NOT spray the fan with
detergent.
PARTIAL LOADING Use movable bulkheads to limit compart-
ment size in case of partial loading.
STRIP CURTAINS To limit the flow of cold air to the outside, use
strip curtains and make sure they are not too old and with a prop-
er length down to the floor.
PRE-COOL THE BODY When possible, pre-cool the body on
standby mode to reduce noise and CO2 emissions. Do not leave
the vehicle unattended during pre-cooling.
GOODS TEMPERATURE Goods must be at the right tempera-
ture before loading.

9.2. DURING LOADING
RESPECT CORRECT TEMPERATURE Products should always
be loaded from a refrigerated loading bay in order to maintain the
correct temperatures. The setpoint doesn’t need to be at -26°C if
only -18°C are required.
SEPARATE GOODS Do not mix refrigerated and dry goods in
the same compartment. The second compartment cannot be
cooled by a fan from the first compartment for hygiene reason.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL Perform load tests with the right
materials to ensure the products are loaded in at the optimal tem-
perature. Do not obstruct the evaporator with the loaded goods.
Make sure that air circulation is not impeded. Properly orientating
the pallets allows the airflow to reach above, through and under-
neath the load. Do not load up to the ceiling, as this will cause
short cycling.
DETECTORS CLEARANCE Units charged with low GWP refrig-
erant are equipped with refrigerant detector that are located in
the evaporator section (these detectors are identified by a stick-
er). Pay special attention to these detectors. At no time should
their access be blocked. Ensure proper airflow to these detec-
tors.
9.3. AFTER LOADING
SHUT DOWN UNIT WHEN OPENING DOORS Cold air is heav-
ier than hot air. Opening doors with no curtains leads warmer air
to replace cooler air. Operating the unit when doors are opened
may result in frost and increase energy consumption. Carrier al-
so offers door switches to shut down the unit automatically when
loading the van, which reduces the warm air penetration into the
box.
KEEPING DOORS CLOSED Keep doors closed as long as pos-
sible.
WAITING TIME Minimize the wait time during which the goods
are on the loading dock.
PARKING Park the vehicle in the shade. Do not park your vehi-
cle in a slope greater than 10% to avoid poor water drainage.
UNIT STORAGE In the event of a prolonged shutdown, open
the doors and compartments of the refrigerated box. Never leave
your unit more than a month without running.
AIR RENEWAL Units charged with low GWP refrigerant should
operate for at least one hour once a month with the refrigerated
box doors and compartments open.
