Controller Pre-Trip Test Codes

Reefer Container PTI (Pre-Trip Inspection) is a critical process in the shipping of temperature-sensitive goods. It ensures that the reefer container is in good condition to maintain the required temperature for the cargo during transportation.

What is a Reefer Container PTI?
A reefer container is a specialized container equipped with a refrigeration unit to maintain a specific temperature. A PTI is a thorough inspection conducted on an empty reefer container before it is used to load cargo. The inspection aims to verify that the container’s cooling system, temperature control devices, and overall condition are suitable for transporting temperature-sensitive cargoes.

Why is a Reefer Container PTI Important?
• Cargo Preservation: A PTI helps ensure that the cargo remains in good condition throughout the journey by maintaining the required temperature.
• Cost Reduction: By identifying and addressing potential issues before loading, a PTI can help prevent costly cargo damage or delays.
• Risk Mitigation: A PTI can help reduce the risk of cargo spoilage or contamination, which can have significant financial and reputational consequences.

PTI is a crucial step in ensuring the safe and efficient transportation of perishable goods. By conducting a thorough inspection, shippers can minimize the risk of cargo damage and maintain the quality of their products.

P6-5Not ApplicableNot Used
NOTE P7-0 & P8 are included with the “Auto2 & Auto 3” only. P9-0 through P10 are included with “Auto2” only
P7-0High Pressure Switch ClosedSetup: When the unit is running, the condenser fan is de-energized, and a 15 minute timer is started. The right display shows discharge pressure if the unit is equipped with a discharge pressure transducer (DPT). If no DPT is installed, the condenser pressure transducer (CPT) reading will be displayed. Pass/Fail Criteria: The test fails if high pressure switch fails to open in 15 minutes.
Note, this test is skipped if the unit does NOT have: A compressor discharge sensor (CPDS). A discharge pressure transducer (DPT). Condenser pressure transducer (CPT).
In addition, this test is skipped if: The sensed ambient temperature is less than 7_C (45_F). The return air temperature is less than --17.8_C (0_F). The water pressure switch (WP) is open, indicating that the unit is operating with a water-cooled condenser.
Pass/Fail Criteria: Under conditions of the above NOTE; the test immediately fails if the following inputs are sensed to be invalid: Compressor discharge sensor (CPDS). Discharge pressure transducer (DPT). Condenser pressure transducer (CPT). OR, if any one of the following inputs are sensed to be invalid: Return temperature sensor (RTS). Ambient sensor (AMBS).
In addition, the test will fail if: The high pressure switch (HPS) fails to open within 15 minutes. The discharge temperature exceeds 138_C (280_F). The discharge temperature is less than or equal to ambient temperature plus 5_C (9_F). The condenser pressure transducer (CPT) or discharge pressure transducer (DPT) pressure exceeds 27.42 kg/cm2 (390 psig).
P7-1High Pressure Switch OpenRequirements: Test P7-0 must pass for this test to execute. Setup: The condenser fan is started and a 60 second timer is started. Pass/Fail Criteria: Passes the test if the high pressure switch (HPS) closes within the 60 second time limit, otherwise, it fails.
P8-0Perishable Mode Heat TestSetup: If the container temperature is below 15.6°C (60_F), the set point is changed to 15.6°C, and a 60 minute timer is started. The left display will read “P8-0.” The control will then heat the container until 15.6°C is reached. If the container temperature is above 15.6°C at the start of the test, then the test proceeds immediately to test P8-1 and the left display will change to “P8-1.” Pass/Fail Criteria: The test fails if the 180 minute timer expires before the control temperature reaches set point. The display will read “P8-0,” “FAIL.”
P8-1Perishable Mode Pull Down TestRequirements: Control temperature must be at least 15.6°C (60_F). Setup: The set point is changed to 0°C (32_F), and a 180 minute timer is started. The left display will read “P8-1,” the right display will show the supply air temperature. The unit will then start to pull down the temperature to the 0°C set point. Pass/Fail Criteria: The test passes if the container temperature reaches set point before the 180 minute timer expires.
P8-2Perishable Mode Maintain Temperature TestRequirements: Test P8-1 must pass for this test to execute. Setup: The left display will read “P8-2,” and the right display will show the supply air temperature. A 60 minute timer is started. The unit will be required to maintain the 0°C temperature to within + or -- 0.5_C (0.9_F) of set point until a Data- CORDER recording is executed. The recorder supply probe temperature running total (and its associated readings counter) will be zeroed out for the remainder of the recording period at the start of this test, so that the actual value recorded in the DataCORDER will be an average of only this test’s results. Once a recording interval is complete, the average recorder supply temperature will be recorded in the DataCORDER, as well as stored in memory for use in applying the test pass/ fail criteria. Pass/Fail Criteria: If the recorded temperature is within +/-- 0.5_C. of set point from test start to DataCORDER recording, the test passes. If the average temperature is outside of the tolerance range at the recording, the test fails.
P9-0Defrost TestSetup: The defrost temperature sensor (DTS) reading will be displayed on the left display. The right display will show the supply air temperature. The unit will run FULL COOL for 30 minutes maximum until the DTT is considered closed. Once the DTT is considered closed, the unit simulates defrost by running the heaters for up to two hours, or until the DTT is considered open. Pass/Fail Criteria: The test fails if: the DTT is not considered closed after the 30 minutes of full cooling, HTT opens when DTT is considered closed or if return air temperature rises above 248_C (120_F).
P10-0Frozen Mode Setup TestSetup: After completion of the defrost test, the testing proceeds directly to test P10--1 if the container temperature is above 7_C (45_F). If the container temperature is below 7_C, a 180 minute timer will be started, the set point will be set to 7_C and the control will be placed in normal heat. The left display will read “P10--0” and the unit will continue in operation until the temperature is raised to set point. Pass/Fail Criteria: If the temperature does not reach set point(less --0.3_C or 6.7 F) before the timer times out display will read “P100,” “FAIL”. The test will not auto--repeat.
P10-1Frozen Mode (Pull Down) TestSetup: When the container temperature is greater than or equal to the 7.2°C (45_F) set point which was set in the frozen mode heat test, the left display will read “P10--1” and the right display will show the return air temperature. The set point will then be changed to --17.7_C (0_F). The unit will then have a maximum of three hours to pull the container temperature down to the --17.7°C set point. Pass/Fail Criteria: If this occurs within the three hour time limit, the test passes. If pulldown is not completed within the three hour time, the test fails.
P10-2Frozen Mode Maintain Temperature TestSetup: After the unit has successfully completed frozen pulldown test, the left display will read “P10--2” and the right display will show return air temperature. The unit will then be required to maintain --17.7°C (0_F) temperature within +/-- 0.5_C (0.9_F) of set point until a DataCORDER recording is executed. The recorder return probe temperature running total (and its associated counter) will be zeroed for the remainder of the recording period at the start of this test, so that the actual recorded value will be an average of only this test’s results. Once the recording interval is complete, the average return temperature will be recorded in the DataCORDER, and stored in memory for use in applying the test pass/fail criteria. Pass/Fail Criteria: If the recorded temperature is within +/-- 0.5_C of set point from test start to DataCORDER recording, the test passes. If temperature is outside of the tolerance range at the DataCORDER recording, the test fails.
