1.14.1 Brief Description
WARNING
Do not attempt to service the DataCorder
module, breaking the warranty seal will void the
warranty.
CAUTION
Remove DataCorder module and unplug all wire
harness connectors before performing any arc
welding on any part of the container.
Do not remove wire harnesses from module
unless you are grounded to the unit frame with a
static safe wrist strap.
Carrier Transicold has developed a recorder, which
we have termed the “DataCorder”, in a self-contained
module which consists of:
--- Microprocessor
--- Program memory
--- Data memory
--- Real time clock (RTC)
--- Six thermistor inputs
--- Two voltage inputs
--- Four status LED’s
--- Two communication ports
--- Power supply (optional battery pack).
This recorder eliminates the mechanical recorder
and paper chart, and replaces it with a custom-designed
module (see Figure 1-11) that interfaces with the
controller module and the Interrogator to:
a. Operate as a stand alone device or in conjunc-
tion with other modules such as the Temperature Con-
troller, CTD Controlled Atmosphere (CA) Controller,
etc.
b. Log data at 15, 30, 60 or 120 minute intervals.
c. Record DataCorder alarms and display through
the Temperature Controller digital display identification.
(Refer to Table 1-10.)
d. Store at least one years worth of data based on
continuous unit operation at factory default settings.
Factory default settings are:
One (1) hour logging interval.
Configured for two (2) probes.
e. Record DataCorder/Network generated data
and events as follows:
--- Container ID Change
--- Controller S/W Upgrade
--- Controller Replacement
--- DataCorder Alarm Activity

--- Controller Communication Not Responding
--- Controller Communication Responding
--- Power Loss (w/wo battery backup)
--- Power Up (w/wo battery backup)

--- Remote Probe Temperatures in the Container
(USDA Cold treatment and Cargo
probe recording)
--- Return Air Temperature
--- Set Point Change
--- Supply Air Temperature
--- Real Time Clock (RTC) Battery
(Internal Battery) Replaced
--- Real Time Clock (RTC) Modification
--- Trip Start
--- Economy Mode Start
--- Economy Mode End
--- “Auto 2” Pre-Trip Start
