Section 4 – SR-2 Operation
Pretrip Test Considerations
When performing a Pretrip Test, the following issues should be considered.
• If running a Pretrip Test on a trailer loaded with dry cargo, insure that proper airflow can occur around the
load. If the load restricts airflow, false test results may occur. Also, SR-2 units have high refrigeration
capacity which results in rapid temperature changes. Sensitive dry cargo may be damaged as a result.
• If running a Pretrip Test on a trailer that has just been washed down, the extremely high humidity inside
the trailer may result in false test results.
• If running a Pretrip Test on a trailer loaded with sensitive cargo, monitor the load temperature during the
test as normal temperature control is suspended during pre-trip operation.
• Always perform Pretrip Tests with the trailer cargo doors closed to prevent false test failures.
Performing a Pretrip Test
If a Pretrip Test is initiated with the engine shut down a Full Pretrip Test will be performed. If a Pretrip Test is
initiated with the engine or motor running a Running Pretrip Test is performed.
• Before initiating a Pretrip Test, clear all alarm codes.
• To stop a Pretrip Test at any time turn the unit off.
Pretrip Tests are initiated using the Pretrip Menu. From the Standard Display, press the MENU key.
