Start-Stop Operation
Select Start-Stop mode to reduce fuel consumption
Start-Stop reduces fuel consumption by allowing the APX Control System to automatically stop and restart the engine. The engine shuts off near setpoint and restarts when certain conditions are met, based on compartment temperature, battery charging amps, and engine coolant temperature. Start-Stop operation may be configured for frozen or perishable load setpoint ranges.
With the system powered up (START/RUN-OFF switch in the START/RUN position) or in PC mode, press the START-STOP/CONTINUOUS key until "START/STOP" is highlighted.
The message "START/STOP MODE SELECTED" will display in the MessageCenter for 10 seconds.
Confirm the operation indication in the status bar is no longer highlighted. The unit is now in Start-Stop Operation.
If "START-STOP LOCKED" displays in the MessageCenter when you press the key, the Start-Stop/Continuous key is locked out. Similarly, "CONTINUOUS LOCKED" displays if Continuous Run is locked. Refer to Section 5.2.3 for configuration information.
If the unit fails to start after three start attempts, alarm 00031 (Failed to Start - Auto Mode) will activate.
If the unit shuts down three consecutive times without running at least 15 minutes between shutdowns, alarm 00030 (Failed to Run Minimum Time) will activate. The shutdown counter clears after the unit has run for 15 minutes.
