PRETRIP
A Pretrip Test verifies unit operation. This
display allows a Pretrip Test to be selected and
initiated by the operator. If the Pretrip Test is
entered with the unit shut down a Full Pretrip
Test with device amp checks will be performed.
If the Pretrip Test is entered with the unit
running in either diesel or electric mode a
Running Pretrip Test is performed, but the
device amps checks are not performed. Test
results are reported as PASS, CHECK or FAIL
when the Pretrip Test is completed. If an alarm
occurs during a Pretrip Test the alarm code will
be displayed as Pretrip Alarm XX, where XX is
the alarm code.

at the end of the Pretrip Test or if the unit is

Pretrip Test Sequence
Pretrip tests proceed in the order shown below.
A Full Pretrip Test includes all tests. A
Running Pretrip Test is started with the engine

Checks or Engine Start Check.
• Amp Checks - Each electrical control
component is energized and the current
drawn is confirmed as within specification.
• Engine Start - The Engine will start
automatically.
• Defrost - If the coil temperature is below 45
F (7 C), a defrost cycle is initiated.
• RPM Check - The engine RPM in high and
low speed is checked during the Cool Check.
• Cool Check - The ability of the unit to cool
in low speed is checked (each zone in
SPECTRUM).
• Heat Check - The ability of the unit to heat in
low speed is checked (each zone in
SPECTRUM).
• Report Test Results - The test results are
reported as PASS, CHECK or FAIL when
the Pretrip Test is completed. If test results
are CHECK or FAIL alarm codes will exist
to direct the technician to the source of the
problem.
