SECTION 2 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

NOTICE The user should access the DataLINE Help utility that is included with the DataLINE application to obtain a more in-depth understanding of the DataLINE application and its features. The Help utility provides the user with detailed directions for using the DataLINE application

The DataLINE application provides capabilities for the following hardware platforms:

1. MicroLink 2i (ML2i) based integrated Controller / DataCorder units.

2. MicroLink 3 (ML3) based integrated Controller / DataCorder units.

NOTE Data from a Microlink (ML1) unit must be retrieved using the Carrier DataReader* hand held device. DataLINE can then be used to transfer data from the DataReader* to a PC.

NOTE Connections to MicroLink 3 (ML3) Controller / DataCorders and reports generated from MicroLink 3 downloads will be identified as MicroLink 2i by the DataLINE application.

Data retrieval can be accomplished with one of the following devices:

1. Stand-alone, windows-based portable personal computer (PC) with the appropriate cable and DataLINE application.

2. Carrier DataBANK card. Data can be transferred to a personal computer using the Omnidrive interface for reading by DataLINE.

3. Carrier DataReader* hand held retriever. The data can be transferred from the DataReader to a PC.

All data retrieved from a DataCorder is automatically converted to a DCX file, which is a Carrier Transicold propri- etary file format.

As new versions of the DataLINE software are released, updates to the software will be available on the Carrier Transicold web site. These updates are called a Service Pack. In order to protect software ownership, a Service Pack can only be loaded onto a PC that already has DataLINE software installed.

* The legacy DataReader device is still supported through DataLINE but no longer available for purchase.

There are two versions of the probe calibration utility: 1. Units with ML3 controllers loaded with SWR53xx series controller software SWR5368 or greater:

Calibration of USDA sensors, supply and return sensors, control and recording sensors. 2. Units with ML3 controllers loaded with SWR51xx series, SWR53xx below 5368, SWR57xx series and all

ML2i controllers:

Calibration of USDA sensors.

The screens and procedures change depending on the controller version installed.

10.2 Units with ML3 controllers loaded with SWR53xx series controller software from SWR5368

The Probe Calibration screen (Figure 10.1) will be displayed when the user clicks on the Probe Calibration button on the DataLINE Launch Pad or the Auto option button. From this screen the user can perform USDA/Cargo probe calibration using either the Auto or external methodology. In addition, there is the option to calibrate Supply Air and Return Air Temperature sensors.

Figure 10.1 Probe Calibration

When DataLINE has established a connection with a container unit, each calibration screen displays the following information:

DataCorder (Recorder) information Controller information Temperature probe/sensor information Controls related to the selected calibration option

62-10629 102

Controller software version

The connection status with the container unit is also reported at the bottom of the screen. If DataLINE is not able to communicate with the refrigeration unit, X's will be presented in the data fields.

DataLINE refreshes the calibration screens in two ways:

AutoRefresh - Every 15 seconds the probe calibration screen automatically updates all data in the Recorder Information, and Controller Information Group Boxes. It will also update sensor information in the Current Probe Offset Temperatures group box. However, the information in the Results column will only be updated when calibration is in progress and when complete.

F9 - Provides a shortcut for manually triggering the refresh operation.

10.2.1 USDA Probe Calibration

The following procedure is used to perform USDA and Cargo Probe calibration. The user can choose to use either of the two options that are available:

Auto - The MicroLink controller in the container unit calculates the offsets for all probes using an assumed ice-bath temperature of 0.0C (32F). The user cannot select probes or change the ice bath temperature value. Once initiated, calibration is performed when the probes are determined to be stable by the controller.

External - The user explicitly specifies the offset to be used for each probe that is to be calibrated. Offset values between -0.3C and +0.3C (-0.5F and +0.5F) can be entered.

Auto Calibration

By default, the Auto Calibration screen (Figure 10.2) is displayed. It can also be displayed by choosing the Auto option button if it is not selected. Prior to displaying this screen, the user is reminded to verify the ice bath to be used is at 0C (32F).

Figure 10.2 Auto Calibration

103 62-10629

Procedure:

1. Prepare proper ice bath and ensure that it has stabilized at 0C (32F). See Ice Bath Preparation Proce- dure and Equipment.

2. Place all USDA probes to be calibrated in the ice bath and observe readings on the screen.

3. Once probe readings have reached equilibrium and ice bath is 0C (32F), press the Start Cal button.

4. During the 5 minute period that calibration is attempted, confirm that the ice bath remains at 0C (32F). If the ice bath temperature changes, press Cancel to stop calibration.

5. Probes are calibrated individually once they are determined to be stable.

6. The calibration process is complete once all probes have been calibrated or the end of the 5 minute period is reached. Results are reported on the screen for each probe as follows:

Passed - probe remained stable, offset within 0.3C (0.5F) has been calculated. (Offset saved)

Failed - invalid probe, probe not stable, calculated offset outside of 0.3C (0.5F). Offset set to 0.0C (0.0F)

No Cal - calibration was canceled before probe was calibrated. (Offset set to 0.0C (0.0F))

7. Start Cal (Figure 10.3) can be pressed to perform calibration again. If calibration is successful, press Close to exit Probe Calibration.

Figure 10.4 Probe Calibration Screen

Procedure:

1. Check the box in front of the first probe needing calibration to activate the offset entry box.

2. Use the arrows or type an offset value into the entry box to use for the probe. (up to 0.3C (0.5F))

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each probe being calibrated.

4. Press the Send button to calibrate the sensors using the offsets that were entered.

5. Press the Close button to exit Probe Calibration.

10.2.2 Supply Air and Return Air Temperature Sensor Calibration (SWR 5368 and higher only)

Supply Air and Return Air Temperature sensors can be calibrated similar to USDA and Cargo probes. The screens used to perform this operation are accessed by pressing the Calibrate Supply Sensors or Calibrate Return Sen- sors buttons on the USDA/Cargo probe screens.

These instructions should be read through completely before proceeding.

WARNING! Before proceeding with dismantling of Supply and Return air sensors, set ON/OFF switch and circuit breaker to OFF position. Disconnect power plug from the unit. Follow proper lockout/ tag out procedures to ensure the power cannot inadvertently be energized. It is important that all dismantling work is done and tools and personnel are away from the unit before powering on the unit for calibration.

When performing the return air sensor calibration, disconnect both evaporator motors.

105 62-10629

NOTE Before proceeding with the calibration procedure, ensure that the controller software is 5368 or higher and DataLINE 3.1 or higher is installed onto the download device. Only the latest DataLINE and Controller software will allow users to carry out Good Distribution Practice (GDP) Calibration. Do not downgrade the software after installing the latest software. Read appendix A for the Ice bath preparation procedure before beginning the calibration process. It is also recommended this procedure be done before the full pre-trip inspection.

Before proceeding with the calibration procedure, it is recommended to check the sensors by running pretrip P5-0. This test checks the sensor values. If the test fails identify and correct the faulty sensor and rerun the test

Supply Air Sensors Calibration

1. Locate the sensor cover assembly on the suction side of the compressor. Remove the two fasteners secur- ing the cover of the sensors, remove the cover and rotate supply air sensors (STS/SRS) in a clockwise direction. Remove the sensors from the sensor housing (Figure 10.5).

4. Route the sensors to the ice bath and submerge them.

5. Perform steps 7 through 14 of the supply air sensor calibration procedure.

Ice Bath Preparation Procedure and Equipment 1. Wherever possible, use a thermometer that is regularly calibrated by an accredited test lab.

2. Always use a temperature measurement reference instrument which is of higher accuracy than the device checked, for instance, a thermometer with a rated accuracy of +/- 0.2C should be used to check a device with a rated accuracy +/- 0.3C.

3. A thermally insulated container, tub open to atmosphere and large enough to contain crushed ice and water should be used. The tub should be large enough to contain the unit's sensor and the reference thermometer.

4. Enough distilled water should be available to make ice cubes and to set up a proper and stable ice-water tri- ple-point mixture. Prepare ice using distilled water.

5. Pre-cool distilled water for testing.

6. Prepare a mixture of clean ice using distilled water in a clean insulated container. If possible, the person handling should be wearing latex gloves.

a. Crush or chip the ice to completely fill the container. The finer the ice particles, the more accurate the mixture.

b. Add enough pre-cooled distilled water to fill the container.

c. Stir the mixture for a minimum of 2 minutes to ensure water is completely cooled and good mixing has occurred.

d. General, the mixture should contain about 85% ice with the distilled water occupying the rest of the space.

e. Add more ice as the ice melts.

7. Stir the ice water slurry mixture to maintain a temperature 0C (32F).

8. Constantly monitor the temperature of the ice water slurry with your reference thermometer. Ensure that the temperature of the bath has stabilized. The criterion for stability generally is to take two readings at 1 minute intervals, and the two readings should give you 0C (32F).

Key Points to Note: 1. If the calibration process has failed, check the validity of the sensor by hand warming the sensors to see if

there are changes in the readings on the DataLINE screen. The changes should be displayed on the DataLINE screen. If there is Uncal in the download, it means that the calibration process was not completed.

2. Ensure that the set-up (i.e. Ice bath, Sensors, reference thermometer) has reached a stable state before starting the process. Ensure that the set-up is clean and reference thermometer is regularly maintained and calibrated.

3. When undergoing the calibration process, ensure that the sensors do not contact the container and also do not contact each other.

4. Contact your instrument representative if the reference thermometer is not showing correct readings. Hav- ing an accurate reference thermometer is important for the process.

5. Calibration should be conducted in pairs. (STS/SRS, RTS/RRS). If the sensor is unable to fall within reading of (+/- 0.3C / 0.5F) after stabilizing, replace the sensor and recalibrate the sensors. Refer to the service manual for the sensor replacement procedure.

6. Ensure that DataLINE 3.1 is installed and controller software is at least to the level of 5368 before proceed- ing with the calibration.

7. Calibration process should be started only after temperature has stabilized for all sensors involved. 8. Record all steps and all appropriate paper work involved with the servicing procedure.

10.3 All other ML3 controllers loaded with SWR51xx series SWR53xx below 5368, SWR57xx series and all ML2i controllers

The Probe Calibration screens will be available when the user clicks on the Probe Calibration button on the DataLINE Launch Pad. From each of these screens, the user can perform USDA/Cargo probe calibration using the selected methodology. Unlike with newer 53xx series unit software, calibration for Supply Air and Return Air Tem-

perature sensors is not available.

When DataLINE establishes a connection with a container unit, each calibration screen displays the following infor- mation:

DataCorder (Recorder) information

Controller information

Temperature probe/sensor information

Controls related to the selected calibration option

Controller software version

The connection status with the container unit is also reported at the bottom of the screen. If DataLINE is not able to communicate with the refrigeration unit, X's will be presented in the data fields.

DataLINE refreshes the calibration screens in two ways: AutoRefresh - Every 15 seconds the probe calibration screen automatically updates all data in the

Recorder Information, Controller Information and Current Probe Offset Temperatures group boxes.

F9 - Provides the user with a shortcut for manually triggering the refresh operation.

The user can choose to perform USDA/Cargo probe calibration using either of the two available options: Auto - The MicroLink controller in the container unit calculates the offsets for all probes using an assumed

ice-bath temperature of 0.0C (32F). The user cannot select probes or change the ice bath temperature value. Calibration is performed when initiated by the user after determining the probes are stable at the ice bath temperature.

External - The user explicitly specifies the offset to be used for each probe that is to be calibrated. Offset values between -0.3C and +0.3C (-0.5F and +0.5F) can be entered by the user.

Auto Calibration By default the following screen is displayed (Figure 10.15). It can also be displayed by choosing the Auto option button if it is not selected.

Figure 10.15 Auto Calibration

62-10629 1012

Procedure:

1. Prepare proper ice bath and ensure that it has stabilized at 0C (32F).

2. Place all probes to be calibrated in the ice bath and observe readings on the screen.

3. Once probe readings have reached equilibrium and ice bath is 0C (32F), press the Start Cal button.

4. Once calibration is complete, the calculated offsets will be displayed when the screen refreshes.

5. Start Cal can be pressed to perform calibration again. If calibration is successful, press Close to exit Probe Calibration.

NOTE Calculated offsets up to 2.0C (3.6F)are saved. If calculated offsets exceed this value, offsets for those probes are saved as 0.0C (0.0F).

External Calibration

The following Probe Calibration screen (Figure 10.16) is displayed when the user clicks on the External option but- ton on the Probe Calibration screen.

Figure 10.16 USDA/Cargo Probe Calibration (External)

Procedure:

1. Check the box in front of the first probe needing calibration to activate the offset entry box.

2. Use the arrows or type an offset value into the entry box to use for the probe. (up to 0.3C (0.5F))

3. Repeat steps 1. and 2. for each probe being calibrated.

4. Press the Send button to calibrate the sensors using the offsets that were entered.

5. Press the Close button to exit Probe Calibration.
