1.2.4 DataCORDER Capabilities (Micro-Link 2 and Micro-Link 2i only)

The Carrier DataCORDER is a flexible recording device with the following capabilities:

a. Sensors

Up to six thermistor temperature probes can be connected directly to the DataCORDER. These probes are referred to as:

1.Supply

2.Return

3.USDA 1

4.USDA 2

5.USDA 3

6.Auxiliary Cargo Probe

On separate DataCORDER modules (Micro-Link 2 only) there are also two 0-5vdc inputs available for future expansion. In addition to these inputs, an additional eight sensors connected to the refrigeration or controlled atmosphere controllers can be recorded.

1.This list of sensors includes:

2.Humidity Sensor

3.Controlled Atmosphere Gas Sensors

4.Temperature Controller Probes (including: supply, return, and defrost temperatures)

5.Controller Pressure Sensors

6.Current Sensors

7.Line Voltage Sensor

8.Frequency

NOTE

The supply and return sensors (SRS and RRS) used by the DataCORDER are not the same supply and return sensors (STS and RTS) used by the Controller.

b. Log Interval

Micro-Link DataCORDER’s log data on 60 minute intervals from time of trip start. Micro-Link 2/2i DataCORDER sensors can be recorded at intervals of 15, 30, 60 (default), or 120 minutes. Data is logged on the exact interval, using a precise real time clock (RTC). All clocks are set to Greenwich Mean Time at the factory and all recording is done on the exact interval (at 12:00 for example, rather than 12:03).

NOTE

Unless specified by your customer to set the DataCORDER clocks for another time zone, the clocks should NOT be adjusted.

c. Sensor Recording Format

Sensors can be recorded in a wide variety of formats. A one byte temperature format can be used for compact data storage. A two byte format can be used for high resolution over the entire temperature range.

1.One byte format (default): 0.25C (.45F) steps in chilled mode; 0.5C (.9F) steps in frozen mode

2.Two byte format: 0 .010C steps for entire range

d. Sampling Type

1.Averaged (default): shows average of data from every minute over the logging interval.

2.Snapshot: shows snapshot of data at the log interval.

3.USDA: shows snapshot of data at a 60 minute log interval.

Container Refrigeration Unit specifications

Carrier Container Refrigeration Units are essential components in the logistics and transportation of temperature-sensitive goods. These specialized refrigeration units ensure that perishable items, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, maintain their required temperature throughout their journey, whether by sea, land, or air.

One of the primary features of Carrier Container Refrigeration Units is their advanced temperature control capability. These units can easily maintain temperature ranges from -30°C to +30°C, ensuring optimal conditions for various products. This flexibility is crucial for transporting diverse cargo, from frozen foods that require strict low-temperature settings to temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals that may need to be kept at a steady room temperature.

Moreover, Carrier units are equipped with cutting-edge technologies aimed at improving efficiency and reliability. The use of electronic controls enhances the precision with which temperatures can be set and maintained. Integrated sensors continuously monitor conditions, allowing for real-time adjustments based on external temperature variations or changes in cargo load.

Carrier's eco-friendly refrigerants further underscore the company's commitment to sustainability. These units often utilize low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants that are less harmful to the environment, aligning with global regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy efficiency is another hallmark of Carrier Container Refrigeration Units. Many models incorporate high-efficiency compressors and evaporators, resulting in lower energy consumption compared to traditional refrigeration systems. This efficiency not only reduces operational costs but also contributes to a lower carbon footprint, making it an attractive option for environmentally conscious companies.

The design of these refrigeration units prioritizes durability and ease of maintenance. Robust construction materials withstand harsh maritime environments, minimizing the risk of damage during transit. Maintenance-friendly designs ensure that servicing is straightforward and can often be performed with minimal downtime, keeping logistics operations running smoothly.

In summary, Carrier Container Refrigeration Units combine advanced temperature control, energy efficiency, and sustainability with a focus on durability and ease of maintenance. Through innovative technologies and eco-friendly practices, Carrier continues to lead the way in providing reliable refrigeration solutions for the global supply chain, ensuring that temperature-sensitive goods reach their destination safely and efficiently.
