Introduction
There is nothing complicated about operating and maintaining
your Thermo King unit, but a few minutes studying this
manual will be time well spent.
Performing pre-trip checks and enroute inspections on a
regular basis will minimize on-the-road operating problems. A
regular maintenance program will also help to keep your unit
in top operating condition. If factory recommended procedures
are followed, you will find that you have purchased the most
efficient and dependable temperature control system available.
All service requirements, major and minor, should be handled
by a Thermo King dealer for four very important reasons:
• They are equipped with the factory recommended tools to
perform all service functions
• They have factory trained and certified technicians
• They have genuine Thermo King replacement parts
• The warranty on your new unit is valid only when the
repair and replacement of component parts is performed
by an authorized Thermo King dealer.
IMPORTANT: This manual is published for informational
purposes only and the information furnished herein should
not be considered as all-inclusive or meant to cover all
contingencies. If more information is required, consult your
Thermo King Service Directory for the location and
telephone number of the local dealer.

Safety Precautions
Thermo King recommends that all services be performed by a
Thermo King dealer. However, there are several general safety
practices which you should be aware of:
Automatic Start/Stop Operation
This unit is capable of automatic operation and may start at any
time without prior warning.
WARNING: Always wear goggles or safety glasses
when working with or around the refrigeration
system or battery. Refrigerant or battery acid can
cause permanent damage if it comes in contact with
your eyes.
WARNING: Keep hands and loose clothing clear of
fans and belts at all times when the unit is operating
or when opening or closing compressor service
valves.
WARNING: Exposed coil fins can cause painful
lacerations. Service work on the evaporator or
condenser coils is best left to a certified Thermo King
technician.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when drilling holes
in the unit. Drilling into electrical wiring or
refrigerant lines could cause a fire. Never drill into
structural components.
WARNING: The unit may start at any time when the
controller is turned on. The controller display lights
up when the controller is turned on.
WARNING: Units equipped with electric standby may
start at any time when the unit is connected to live
electric power and the controller is turned on.

Electrical Hazard
Refrigerant
Although fluorocarbon refrigerants are classified as safe,
observe caution when working with refrigerants or around
areas where they are being used in the servicing of your unit.
Refrigerant Oil
Observe the following precautions when working with or
around refrigerant oil:
WARNING: Be sure to press the OFF key to turn the
controller off before opening doors or inspecting any
part of the unit.
CAUTION: Be sure to turn off the high voltage
power supply, and disconnect the electric cable before
working on the unit. Units with electric standby
present a potential electrical hazard.
DANGER: Fluorocarbon refrigerants may produce
toxic gases. In the presence of an open flame or
electrical short, these gases are severe respiratory
irritants CAPABLE OF CAUSING DEATH.
DANGER: Fluorocarbon refrigerants tend to
displace air and can cause oxygen depletion which
could result in DEATH BY SUFFOCATION. Provide
adequate ventilation in enclosed or confined areas.
WARNING: Fluorocarbon refrigerants evaporate
rapidly, freezing anything they contact if accidentally
released into the atmosphere from the liquid state.
WARNING: Always wear goggles or safety glasses to
protect eyes from refrigerant oil contact.
WARNING: Protect skin and clothing from
prolonged or repeated contact with refrigerant oil.
Rubber gloves are recommended.

apply heat. Wrap burns with dry, sterile, bulky dressing to
protect from infection or injury. Get prompt medical attention.
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air and restore breathing if
necessary. Stay with victim until arrival of emergency medical
personnel.
First Aid–Refrigerant Oil
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for
at least 15 minutes while holding the eyelids open. Get prompt
medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with
soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air and restore breathing if

Unit Description
Introduction
The Thermo King V-520 10/20 and V-520 MAX truck
refrigeration systems are two piece units. The unit is designed
for medium-sized trucks and vans carrying fresh produce and
frozen and deep frozen goods.
The condenser is mounted on the front of the truck box or
container. The evaporator is mounted on the cargo
compartment ceiling. The main compressor is powered by the
vehicle engine via a belt. The unit is connected to the
compressor by refrigeration hoses. In electric standby
operation models, the second compressor is driven by an
elecric motor.
Control circuits operate on 12 and 24 VDC supplied by the
truck batteries for over-the-road operation. The refrigeration
system is protected by a high pressure cutout and a low
pressure cutout.
The operating mode is selected automatically: When the unit is
connected to an electric power source, engine-driven operation
is automatically blocked. If the vehicle engine is started up
while the power cable is still connected to the electric power
source, the unit will continue to operate in electric standby
mode. It is not possible to start the engine-driven compressor
until the power cable is disconnected from the unit.
There are two basic models:
• Model 10: Cool and defrost on truck engine driven
compressor operation.
• Model 20: Cool and defrost on both truck engine driven
compressor operation and electric standby compressor
operation.
• Model 30: Cool, heat and defrost on truck engine driven
compressor operation.
• Model 50: Cool, heat and defrost on both truck engine
driven compressor operation and electric standby
compressor operation.

Refrigeration System
Refrigeration hoses or lines are used to connect the condenser,
the evaporator, the compressor and any other components.
Model 20 units have another compressor and an electric motor
mounted in the condenser section for electric standby
operation.
The engine compressor is driven by a belt from the engine. The
electric standby compressor is connected in parallel with the
engine-driven compressor. The standby compressor is
hermetically sealed with its electric motor. Both compressors
use the same refrigeration system circuit. Check valves isolate
one compressor from the other during operation.
Compressor operation is controlled by the thermostat, which
energizes the compressor clutch during engine operation or
starts the electric motor and energizes the compressor clutch on
electric standby operation. The refrigeration system is
protected by a high pressure cutout switch and a low pressure
cutout switch.
When plugged into standby power, engine operation is
automatically locked out. If the truck engine is turned on while
the power cord is still plugged into a power receptacle, the unit
will remain working in electric mode; the engine driven
compressor cannot be started until the power cord is unplugged
from the unit as the selection of engine operation or standby
operation is automatic.

Evaporator
The evaporator is mounted on the ceiling inside the truck box.
Control Circuits
The control circuits operate on 12 and 24 VDC supplied by the
truck batteries for engine operation. On standby operation, the
power is rectified from an AC transformer.
Electronic Control System
Thermo King direct drive refrigeration units are composed of a
condenser unit, an evaporator unit (two evaporators in
multi-temperature units), a vehicle compressor (in models with
electric standby there is a second compressor that is driven by
an electric motor) and a control panel (In-cab Control Box) that
operates the unit.
