1.3 Printer  
The thermal printer is installed in the right side of the recorder. Due to the so called “Plug and Play concept” the  
printer can be retrofitted, at any time, without disconnecting the recorder from power. For retrofit, the existing  
mechanism will be exchanged for a mechanism with printer. To remove the printer or the housing, press lightly the  
release bar on the right hand side under the housing. The whole mechanism can be slid out carefully. Warning: In  
the T-version the printer module must be disconnected via a cable connector. When inserting the printer module,  
slide it in carefully until the lock catches.  
Note: a print out must be torn downwards over the edge of the bottom plastic part. A colored line on the last few  
feet (meter) of a roll indicates that the paper roll needs to be replaced. (Enclosure B )

Installation  
In general DataCOLD 500 T/R Temperature recorders are supplied with all required components for a standard  
installation. A standard installation includes the mounting of the unit itself and mounting and connecting two  
Temperature sensors. Optionally 2 extra sensors and up to 4 digital (status) inputs can be connected. The main  
steps of the installation are described in the following chronological order.  
2.1 Positioning Connections  
Temperature sensors  
DataCOLD 500 T/R temperature recorders can only be used with temperature sensors supplied with the  
DataCOLD 500 T/R package. Before the installation it is necessary to determine how many measurement points  
are required to retrieve the desired information. Only by an optimal choice of the number and the position of the  
sensors, can a sensible conclusion be drawn of the air temperature in an entire compartment.  
The following items must be observed when planning:  
- The Temperature sensor should not be mounted in a location without air circulation.  
- The sensor position should be protected against bumping of load, doors, etc..  
- The beam of light from the interior light must have a minimum distance of 18 inches (0,5m) to the sensors.  
- At least one sensor per compartment and also one sensor in the air return is recommended. The best position of  
a compartment sensor is in the middle under the ceiling at about 1/3 of the compartment length from the back.  
- The compartment sensor should be mounted with the Carrier protection guard. This will allow sufficient air  
circulation around the sensor.

Digital Inputs  
The digital inputs allow control and registration of doors (open/close) or defrost or refrigeration (on/off) or any other  
digital input information following the configuration of the recorder. By configuring the parameters the interpretation  
of the corresponding status can be distinguished.  
Power supply  
The power supply can be connected directly to the vehicle or Carrier Unit battery. The included 3A (T) floating fuse  
must be fitted in the +power line direct as close as possible to the power connection. The DataCOLD 500 T/R  
recorders are suitable for a voltage between 10 - 36 Volt DC.  
2.2 Mounting  
The installation set of the DataCOLD 500 T/R recorder contains almost all components, required for a standard  
installation with two temperature sensors. In addition to that some small materials like Silicon kit, PVC-conduit and  
fixing materials for cable mounting are required.  
- Preferably use, for both outside and inside walls the existing cable conduit. Alternatively use self adhesive cable  
conduit. All drilled holes needs to be sealed with a suitable sealant.  
- For future calibration requirements, it is advisable to allow enough spare cable to enable the sensor to be lowered  
to the floor.  
DataCOLD R-Version  
The R-version is designed to be mounted within the cab of a vehicle in a DIN radio slot. The R-version is retained  
in the mounting cage by spring locking plates fitted to each side. Fix the mounting cage by inserting it into the slot  
and bending the fixing blades to secure it in the facia. Slide the recorder into the cage until it locks into position.  
Once fitted into the cage, the removal procedure is to insert the keys provided into the keyways at each side of the  
front face of the recorder to release the locks.  
1. Select a suitable position for the DataCOLD, for example a free car radio slot in the dashboard or above the  
driver. If there is no free slot we recommend to use the optional mounting kit. The mounting kit can be fitted as  
shown below on top or underneath the dashboard.  
2. Next, push the mounting frame into the slot and bend the metal flaps to secure its position.  
3. Then install the sensors from the body to the driver’s cab. Please make sure to fit the cables along the chassis  
with the harness so that they won’t be broken when tilting the cab.  
4. Take the connector blocks off the back of the instrument and fix the cables and connect the power supply  
directly to the battery according to the wiring diagram section.  
5. Finally, before pushing the instrument into the slot, we recommend to test the function and to do a printout.  
Optional junction box  
When installing more than two sensors in case of a R-Version it is recommended to use a junction box making the  
installation simpler. This way of installation is using one multi-core cable to connect the recorder with the junction  
box. Inside the junction box the individual sensors and digital inputs are connected. Because pin 1, 3, 5 and 7 of  
the sensor inputs are linked via ground, only one of these pins needs to be connected. For the digital inputs the  
same is applicable for pin 2, 4, 6 and 8.

Optional Mounting kit  
If no radio slot is available, the recorder should be mounted with the optional mounting kit. This will replace a radio  
slot and can be fixed either on or under the dashboard as well as on the back wall.  
Ensure that the position chosen allows the driver to see the display and operate the operator keyboard. In addition  
it must be remembered that access to the printer drawer is required to replace the paper roll and this requires  
clearance above the recorder.

DataCOLD T-Version  
The T-Version has been designed for outside mounting directly on the body. Usually it is fixed under the  
refrigeration unit on the front side of the body, where it is easily accessible. For fixing proceed as follows: First hold  
the box in the desired position and mark the mounting holes. Next step is to drill the holes so that the rubber  
sleeves fit in exactly and the box can be screwed on.  
Cables should be installed via watertight cable glands. This avoids moisture penetration into the box. For each  
cable a separate gland should be used, unless you use a gland especially designed for more cables.  
1. Mark the four holes at the front of body in an easily accessible location (usually underneath the refrigeration  
unit to the right or left hand side). Then drill holes with a 25/64 inch (10mm) drill.  
2. Insert the four rubber mounting nuts. Mount recorder using the four screws and washers provided (note metal  
washer to be located on the outside of the mounting lug fixed to the box). Ensure screws are screwed in tight.  
3. Drill hole large enough at suitable location through bulkhead to pass the temperature sensors through.  
4. Connect power cable directly to the battery as described in the connection and wiring diagram section.  
Recorder will start recording automatically.  
5. Ensure all holes drilled through body are sealed with a suitable silicone sealer.  
2.3 Connectors  
Since both versions are provided with identical PCB’S, the connections are the same for both versions. On the  
back of the recorder you will find four connector blocks . Each of them are described in detail in the next  
paragraphs.  
Connector CON 1 (Power supply and outputs)  
- Power supply  
Connect power supply on pin 1 (+) and pin 2 (-) directly to the battery. The recorder is suitable for a voltage  
between 10 - 36 Volt DC. Power consumption when printing is 25W.

- Display background lighting (preferable for the R-Version)  
Usually the display background light switches on after pressing any key and switching off automatically after 30  
seconds. When a permanent background light is required while driving connect pin 3 to a vehicle ignition +signal.  
WARNING : NEVER CONNECT DIRECT TO THE BATTERY.  
- Alarm outputs  
Pin 4 and 5 are digital alarm outputs, pin 4 for a temperature alarm and pin 5 for a status alarm. Both outputs  
switch to ground in case of an alarm situation and are limited to 1A output current.  
Connector CON 2 (serial port)  
Connector CON 2 is a serial communication port. This port can be used for a permanent connection with the  
microprocessor of the Carrier Unit.  
Connector CON 3 (digital inputs)  
DataCold 500 T/R recorders offer the possibility to connect up to 4 digital inputs. Pin 1-8 are accordingly marked  
with D1–D4 (D1 = Pin 1+2, …). At every opening or closing of the input circuit a status change will be recorded into  
memory, but only if the input has been activated and configured correctly in the parameter settings. All four inputs  
as standard are de-activated. The following functional names are pre-programmed: D1 = Refrigeration, D2 = Back  
door, D3 = Defrost, D4 = Side door. There is also a free text choice to enter a custom name on each digital input.  
For these digital inputs the polarity must be wired correctly. Pin 2, 4, 6 and 8 are internally connected to ground.  
Pin 1, 3, 5 and 7 are signal inputs.  
Connector CON 4 (temperature inputs)  
DataCold 500 T/R recorders offer the possibility to connect up to 4 temperature sensors. Pin 1-8 are accordingly  
marked with T1–T4 (T1 = Pin 1+2, …). Pin 2, 4, 6 and 8 are signal inputs and pin 1, 3, 5 and 7 are internally  
connected to ground. The polarity of the sensor cable is not relevant. In the factory setting input 1 and 2 are  
activated and pre-programmed as follows: T1=Return air, T2=Rear.  
2.4 Wiring  
Refer to the Enclosure E “Wiring diagrams“ to connect:  
Power supply  
Alarm outputs ( if installed )  
Ignition key ( if permanent backlight needed )  
Analog sensors

2.6 Final testing Standard Installation  
The next points are subject to a final check after every installation:  
- Power supply  
The supplied power voltage is between 10V and 36V DC and protected with the 3A floating fuse. The power  
supply must be sufficient to offer 25W (can be checked by attempting printing).  
- Display/keyboard  
The display background light must switch on after pressing any key (except if using the permanent background  
light function) and an acoustic signal audible. The display shows the actual temperatures of the activated  
temperature inputs.  
- Temperature sensors  
After approx. 5 minutes the temperature must be correctly displayed. A value of –40°F (-40°C) indicates the  
possibility of a non connected sensor or a cable failure. A value of +122°F (+50°C) indicates a possible short  
between the connector pins.  
2.7 Supplementary installation  
The next points are subject to a check if applicable:  
- Printer  
Test the printer by printing any ticket.  
- Digital inputs  
For each activated status input, a small box appears in the top right hand of the display (pre-defined symbol,  
indicating that the corresponding input has been activated). When the status of the input changes to ‘active’ the  
box will change into a symbol suiting to the function of this input. (for example Refrigeration ON shows ‘’).  
- Alarm signal  
The internal alarm signal (persistent buzzer) sounds as soon a pre-programmed temperature limit has been  
exceeded. At the same time an external signal is activated on the 5-pin connector block and the corresponding  
temperature input on the display will flash. The internal signal buzzer can be switched of by pressing the yellow  
(Alarm) key. The external signal and the flashing display will only stop after the temperature is back within the  
programmed limits.

The recorder is able to generate automatic alarm if parameter automatic alarm in menu 11.2.1 is set to yes.  
The upper limit and lower limit around the setpoint are automatically calculated based on delta between  
controlling sensor and setpoint.  
The alarm delta could be adjusted from 5.4°F to 16.2°F (3°C to 9°C) in menu 8 ( Alarm settings ) and the  
delay time is adjusted from 1mn to 60mn in the same menu 8.  
The recorder extracts the defrost status from the refrigeration unit micro for each compartment. Also the  
digital input D4 is assigned automatically to the defrost status.  
The recorder extracts the ON/OFF status for each physical compartment from the refrigeration unit micro.

Failure codes & Set correction factor procedure  
If the display shows one of the following values:  
OC  
SC  
(I)  
(ii)  
the input is activated but no sensor is connected.  
the sensor has an open circuit (sensor or wire failure.)  
(I)  
the sensor has a short (sensor or cable failure.)  
Procedure to set a Correction factor  
The DataCOLD 500 R/T recorders have an option to adjust the offset of the A/D converter with a  
correction factor. Because this offset is subject to aging it is recommended to repeat this  
procedure on a regular basis (i.e. at the annual reference check).  
The correction factor is a fixed parameter used in the formula which converts the measured  
resistance into the corresponding temperature. This procedure is not applicable for calibrating  
individual sensors. Note that the effect on the measured and displayed Temperature is not linear.  
Set the correction factor  
Connect to Temperature input 1 a precision resistor  
of 1500 (0,1%).  
Enter the parameter menu by pressing the green  
button for 2 seconds. The display will show: "ENTER  
PINCODE". The factory setting of the pin code is  
1111.  
Parameter Settings

After entering the correct pin code you have access  
to the parameter menu’s. Select menu 10.6 and  
press [edit].  
10.5 Corr.factor  
Recommended: +2  
Setting: +1  
The recorder will now compare the measured value  
of the resistor with the ‘expected’ value of 1500 .  
The second line the recorder will display a  
recommended correction factor based on the  
measured value. This factor can be set on line three.

After pressing ‘accept’ this correction factor will be applicable for all Temperature inputs. The  
correction factor is limited from -9 to +9.
