GEAR GUIDE Reefer diagnostic tool
Carrier Transicold's Virtual Tech is a comprehensive diagnostic application that continu- ally monitors trailer refrigeration unit operation to help avert potential system problems. Found exclusively on refrigeration units equipped with the APX control system, the Virtual Tech activates a warning to the driver when it senses a problem. When the alarm button is pushed, a text message describing the problem will appear on the APX display module. The Virtual Tech application also records system operation data so that detailed performance reports can be downloaded for review with Carrier Transicold's new TRU-Tech and TRU-View PC programs. The APX control system is standard with Carrier's new 2500 APX and 2100 APX
models in the X2 series of trailer refrigeration units. Carrier Transicold, trucktrailer.carrier.com, 860-674-3000. Text INFO to 50298 or visit ovdinfo.com.
