30601 - U.S.A. Carrier Refrigeration Operation 2003 Printed in France 02-03 / 62-61138-20 INTRODUCTION This manual is a guideline for the installation and use of the DataCOLD 500 T/R temperature recorders. To avoid loss of warranty coverage due to incompetent installation it is most essential to follow the instructions and recommendations of this manual. DataCOLD 500 T/R recorders are developed and produced to conform to the applicable European and National norms for the delivery of chilled and frozen foods in transport vehicles. DataCOLD 500 T/R recorders are tested and approved to the European EN12830 specification meeting the objectives of directives 92/1/EU and 93/43/EU and "e" mark approved following directive 95/54/CE. DataCOLD 500 T/R can provide evidence of correct temperatures for every trip in the form of a delivery ticket, numerical or graphical print out. All data is stored with a date/time stamp in a large flash memory. Data will not be lost if power supply is disconnected. The real time clock is powered by an internal back-up battery. The two recorder versions DataCOLD 500 T/R differ in looks. The R-Version is suitable for in-cab installation and the T-Version for outside mounting on a trailer. Both versions are available with or without integrated printer. A printer can be retrofitted at any time, the recorder has been designed already with hardware- and software. DataCOLD 500 R The R-Version has been developed for mounting in the truck cab. The chassis of the recorder meets the dimensions of a DIN car radio and can be easily mounted in a free available radio slot. On the back side the connectors are designed for up to 4 Temperature sensors and 4 digital inputs, a power supply and digital outputs and a serial communication connector ( RS-232 ). If no free radio slot is available, the use of the optional universal mounting kit is strongly recommended. DataCOLD 500 T The T-Version has been developed especially for mounting outside on a body or trailer. The unit is fixed into a water proof enclosure. As on the R-version the connectors are on the back of the unit. Cabling is installed through watertight cable glands. Both products are produced by Carrier Transicold in Germany. Carrier Transicold has a policy of continued development and improvements. Therefore products, manuals and technical information are subject to change without prior notice.
