UNIT INSTALLATION

NOTE: BULKHEAD, AIR CHUTE AND TRANSITION DUCT SHOWN ARE OPTIONAL FEATURES. FOR BEST AIR CIRCULATION AND PRODUCT PROTECTION CARRIER TRANSICOLD HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THE USE OF BULKHEADS AIR CHUTES AND TRANSITION DUCTS. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR CARRIER TRANSICOLD FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.

PREPARE UNIT FOR INSTALLATION:

1. PREPARE THE BODY TO RECEIVE THE UNIT. DIMENSIONS FOR EVAPORATOR OPENING AND MOUNTING STUD LOCATIONS AND LENGTHS CAN BE FOUND ON SHEET 4 OF THIS DRAWING.

2. REMOVE WIRE TIES HOLDING DEFROST DRAIN HOSES, COOLANT OVERFLOW TUBE, AND FUEL LINES. PLACE LINES WHERE THEY WILL NOT BE CAUGHT BETWEEN THE UNIT FRAME AND THE MOUNTING SURFACE.
   REMOVE PALLET MOUNTING ANGLE ON BACK BOTTOM OF FRAME.

3. OPEN SIDE DOORS TO ALLOW ACCESS TO MOUNTING STUD LOCATIONS ON UNIT.

4. PLUG UNUSED HOLE WITH HOLE PLUG.
   ACCORATNO TO INSTRU REMOVE ME SEATS OVERS

5. TERMINAL COVERS OR CONNECT

6. PREPARE THE UNIT FOR LIFTING:
   STANDING ON A LADDER OR WORK-STAND, MAKE A CLOSE-UP INSPECTION OF THE CONDITION AND INTEGRITY OF THE LIFTING EYES,THEN HOOK LIFTING APPARATUS (LIFTING SPREADER BAR WITH SUFFICIENT CAPACITY TO SUPPORT UNIT AND BATTERY
   THROUGH THE LIFTING EYES.
   WARNING: HOOKS OR CLEVISES SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH A LOCKING FEATURE. LIFT POINT SHOULD BE CENTERED OVER THE UNIT’S CENTER OF GRAVITY (SEE SHEET 2). WHILE LIFTING THE UNIT INTO PLACE, INSTALLER SHOULD NOT BE UNDER OR IN PROXIMITY OF THE SUSPENDED UNIT.

7. RAISE THE UNIT AND INSTALL IN THE BODY OPENING. ENSURE THAT ALL EIGHT STUDS ARE FULLY ENGAGED IN THE UNIT FRAME. PLACE WASHER (ITEM

8. AND LOCK-NUT (ITEM 45) ON EACH OF THE 8 STUDS. (NOTE: THE LOWER CENTER STUD MUST BE ACCESSED FROM THE FRONT OF THE UNIT.) SNUG THE NUTS, THEN EVENLY TIGHTEN ALL EIGHT TO 60 FT-LB/81.6 NM USING A TORQUE WRENCH. REMOVE LIFTING APPARATUS.

9. INSTALL MOUNTING HOLE PLUGS (ITEM 92) IN UNIT FRAME WHERE MOUNTING STUDS ARE LOCATED. ENSURE ALL 9 LOCATIONS HAVE HOLE PLUGS. IF THE MOUNTING STUD EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM LENGTH OF 3.0 INCHES FROM THE TRAILER OR BOXCAR SURFACE,A PRE-CUT SLIT IS INCORPORATED IN THE MOUNTING HOLE PLUG TO ALLOW THE STUD TO PROTRUDE THROUGH THE PLUG. (SEE SHT. 4) .

10. ROUTE DEFROST DRAIN HOSES DOWN THE FRONT OF THE TRAILER OR BOXCAR AND CLAMP TO FRONT WALL USING 2 CLAMPS (ITEM 15) AND 2 THREAD FORMING SCREWS (ITEM 30) FOR EACH DRAIN HOSE. CUT HOSE TO PROPER LENGTH (APPROXIMATELY 3.00(76.21 ABOVE 5th-WHEEL PLATE ON TRAILER) AND INSTALL KAZOOS (ITEM 90) ON THE HOSES.

Electrical Specifications & Minimum Standby Infrastructure for Carrier Transicold Trailer Units Equipped with Standby

Minimum Requirements for Standby Infrastructure

1. Ensure that the standby power installation is performed by a licensed electrician who is familiar with both local and national electric codes and requirements.
2. Each refrigeration unit must be protected by an individual circuit breaker sized per the appropriate unit electrical specification listed above.
3. A continuous earthing ground conductor must be provided at the plug and through the power cord to the refrigeration unit.
4. Carrier Transicold recommends that customers establish an Assured Equipment Grounding Conductor Program per the National Electric Code (NEC). Per the Assured Equipment Grounding Conductor Program, the NEC calls for all cordsets to be verified for ground continuity and correct wiring on a 3 month basis.
5. A neutral conductor MUST NOT be connected to the refrigeration units. All Carrier Transicold refrigeration units are balanced three phase systems; therefore, the unit only requires three phase wires and a ground conductor.
6. Standby power cordsets between the circuit breaker and the refrigeration unit MUST be constructed from 10/4 SOOW cable. Carrier recommends a minimum cable length of 50 feet to limit maximum fault currents and prevent damage to the power circuits within the unit.
