MP-3000 Controller
The MP-3000 microprocessor controls all unit
functions to maintain the cargo at the proper
temperature. The controller also monitors and
records system faults and performs pre-trip.
Keypad: Sixteen general purpose keys are used to
display information, change the setpoint, change
programmable features and initiate control tasks.
1. C/F Key: Press this key to view temperatures
in the LED display in the alternate
temperature value. Alternate value (C or F)
shows while the key is pressed.
2. R
ET/SUP Key: Press this key to view the
alternate sensor temperature in the LED
display. Alternate sensor (return or supply)

EFROST Key: Press this key to initiate a
manual defrost cycle. If the evaporator coil
temperature is below 18 C (65 F), the unit will
defrost. Otherwise the controller will display
“DEFROST NOT ACTIVATED” in the LCD
display and the unit will continue normal
operation.

The In-range LED illuminates when the
controlling air sensor temperature is less than
1.5 C (2.7 F) above set-point (standard). The
controller maintains the in-range signal during
defrost and after defrost for 60 minutes. If the
controlling air sensor temperature goes
out-of-range, the controller maintains the
in-range signal for 5 more minutes.
6. LED Display: Large red LED display shows
current control temperature during normal
operation. LED display also shows current test
state during a pre-trip (PTI) or function test.
7. LCD Display: A 4-line LCD message display
