Remote Panel
Use the optional remote panel to control the unit remotely
The unit may be fitted with an optional remote control panel. The remote panel displays compartment setpoints, compartment temperatures, and operating modes (heat, cool, or defrost). It can be mounted on the front bulkhead, in the compartment, or in the wall itself.
The remote panel keys, soft keys, and alarm indicators are in the same locations as the main APX display module: • MENU key • DEFROST key • START/STOP - CONTINUOUS key • Alarm LED • Alarm key • "=" (Select) key • Arrow keys • Soft keys • Display
The remote panel can be used to: • Turn the refrigeration system on and off • Check compartment temperatures • Check and change setpoints • Initiate manual defrost • Check mode of operation • Initiate Pre-Trip
The remote panel cannot be used to: • Enter Advanced User or Technician modes • Access any USB functions, USB menus, PC Mode, or Print
There is no USB port on the remote panel. There is no START/RUN-OFF switch on the remote panel. Unit On/Off is controlled by the "UNIT ON/OFF" soft key, which replaces the Engine Hours soft key on the main display.
The remote panel does not remove power from the APX Control System. To fully shut down the APX Control System, place the SROS in the OFF position.
The remote panel illuminates when the START/RUN-OFF switch is turned on, but it will turn off after 30 minutes of inactivity to prevent battery drain. Press any button on the remote panel to turn it back on.
The remote panel cannot operate if the START/RUN-OFF switch on the main panel is in the OFF position.
Turning the Unit On/Off
On the remote panel, press and release the MENU key until the "UNIT ON/OFF" soft key is displayed.
The "UNIT ON/OFF" soft key on the remote panel takes the place of the "ENGINE HOURS" soft key on the main display.
To turn the unit ON, press the "UNIT ON/OFF" soft key. The remote display will read "UNIT ON".
To turn the unit OFF, press the "UNIT ON/OFF" soft key. The remote display will read "UNIT SHUT DOWN".
