Envirotainer RKN e1 Container
4.2 CONTAINER PRE-CONDITIONING
Prior to pre-conditioning, a functional test of the container should be performed.
Refer to chapter 7. Control Unit Operation — Type 1 and Type 2.
There are two recommended practices for container pre-conditioning:
4.2.1 PRE-CONDITIONING WITH CONTAINER OPERATING IN NON-
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED AREA
• It is recommended that this type of pre-conditioning is performed with the container
connected to the power supply.
• When the container is connected to the power supply, the heating and cooling equipment
will run on power from the power supply and no battery power is consumed.
• This type of pre-conditioning can also be done during charging without affecting the
charging time.
The recommended procedure is:
1. Make sure the container is operating and the container set temperature is correct.
Refer to chapter 7. Control Unit Operation — Type 1 and Type 2.
2. Make sure the doors to the cargo space are closed.
3. At change of set temperature:
The display will switch between showing ”Container info” and ”Info, Preconditioning”
until the set temperature has been reached (this can take up to 90 minutes). Wait until the
info on the display disappears before loading cargo.
4. During operation:
The display will show the alert "Inside temp out of spec" until the container’s inside
temperature is within tolerance (this can take up to 90 minutes). Wait until the alert on the
display disappears before loading cargo.
4.2.2 PRE-CONDITION WITH A TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED ROOM
The recommended procedure is:
1. Place the container in a temperature-controlled room that is set to the desired temperature.
2. Open the doors to the cargo space.
3. Allow at least one hour for container pre-conditioning before loading the cargo.
