3.5. UNIT PRE-TRIP DIAGNOSTICS
Pre--Trip Diagnostics i s an independent controller
function which will suspend normal refrigeration
controller activities and provide preprogrammed test
routines. The test routines include Auto Mode testing,
which automatically preforms a pre programmed
sequenced of tests, or Manual Mode testing, which
allows the operator to select and run any of the
individual t ests.
CAUTION
Pre-trip inspection should not be performed
with critical temperature cargoes in the con-
tainer.
CAUTION
When Pre-Trip key is pre ssed, economy, de-
humidification and bulb mode will be deac-
tivated. At the completion of Pre-Trip activi-
ty, economy, dehumidification and bulb
mode must be reactivated.
Testing may be initiated by use of the Key Pad or via
communication, but when initiated by communication
the controller will execute the entire battery of tests
(auto mode).
At the end of a pre-trip test, the message “P,” “rSLts”
(pretest results) will be displayed. Pressing the ENTER
key will allow the user to see the results for all subtests.
The results will be displayed as “PASS” or “FAIL” for
all t he tests run to completion.
A detailed description of the pre-trip tests and test codes
is provided in Table 3-7. detailed operating instructions
are provided in paragraph 4.7.

3.6.2 DataCORDER Software
The DataCORDER Software is subdivided into the
Configuration Software, Operational Software and the
Data Memory.
a. Operational Software
The Operational Software reads and interprets inputs
for use by the Configuration Software. The inputs are
