V-Series for large trucks
Introduction
The V-500, 600 and 800 Series offer a direct drive, non-diesel temperature control solution for operators of medium
and large trucks from 13 to 42 m3 (frozen) and from 30 to 54 m3 (fresh). For multi temperature applications, the V-500
and 700 Spectrum models are available.

Because the refrigeration unit compressor is driven by the vehicle engine, this product range has minimal environmental
impact, offering exceptionally low noise and low emissions. The models share many common components including the
Direct Smart Reefer (DSR) controller and there are modular options to tailor the units to precise customer requirements.

Key features include:

• Exceptional cooling performance both over the road and on standby
• Enhanced heating capacity
• Precise temperature control for total product protection
• Low environmental impact
• Low noise for urban distribution
• User-friendly DSR in-cab controller
• Spectrum models for multi temperature applications
• Thermo King design, reliability and service support

 Direct Smart Reefer (DSR) Controller
The DSR brings the latest in microprocessor based intelligent control to Thermo King’s vehicle powered product range.
It comprises an in-cab display connected to a control board which is located in the condenser module.
The DSR is:
• Simple to use with advanced control features
• Flexible, modular and stylish
• Designed to enable error-free control and monitoring of the refrigeration unit from inside the cab

The DSR in-cab display

The DSR in-cab unit comes with the most advanced features to provide the ideal interface for the user. LCD technology
with LED backlighting makes the screen easy to read in all light conditions.
The operator can select from multiple functions to suit specific transport applications and to ensure optimal temperature
control and product integrity.

In the event of a malfunction, an easily interpreted alarm code allows drivers to take rapid and appropriate remedial action.

A bracket is provided to enable the DSR to be located in the optimum position in any cab configuration. An optional DIN
adaptor is available should installation in the radio slot be preferred.

Recommendations are based on precooled loads and K value of 0.35 W/m²K is used for frozen goods (-20ºC) and 0.5 W/m²K for fresh
goods (+0/2ºC), for a distribution of 8 hours. Recommendation for V-500 MAX Spectrum unit is based on ES300+ES300 configuration,
and ES400+ES400 for V-700 MAX Spectrum unit. Recommendations are not a guarantee of performance as there are many variables to
be considered. See your Thermo King dealer for complete information.

WARRANTY CONDITIONS
Thermo King warrants the new product delivered will be free
of defects in material and workmanship for the period of time
specified in the applicable warranties. Specific terms of the
Thermo King warranty are available on request.
Discover the V-100/200/300 Series
The V-Series product range from Thermo King also comprises products for smaller trucks and vans. Just like the larger
Series, the V-100, V-200 and V-300 offer optimal performance while using less fuel and making less noise.

The range is suited to load spaces from 5 to 17 m3 (frozen) and from 12 to 28 m3 (fresh).

Total flexibility
The V-100, V-200 and V-300 offer multiple options to suit every application including R-134a refrigerant for fresh loads/
high ambient and R-404A for frozen, electric standby operation and heating capability. The range includes Spectrum
V-200 MAX and V-300 MAX models for multi temperature vehicles.

High performance under any conditions

High capacity and airflow ensure superior temperature distribution as well as faster pull-down and temperature recovery to
protect the product load after door openings.

Ease of use
The V-100, V-200 and V-300 enjoy all the same advantages of the DSR in-cab controller including ease of use, flexibility
and alarm functions.

Form and function 15

Condenser modules are compact, stylish and aerodynamic. They can be installed on the vehicle roof or over the cab. ­
Slim-line evaporators provide maximum load space, which is critical in smaller vehicles.
