Truck Premium Display HMI Control Panel

The Truck Premium Display is used to operate the unit, display unit information, and access all Maintenance and Guarded Access Menus. The Truck Premium Display communicates with the Base Controller via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. It is connected to the Base Controller via CAN Connector J14 on the interface board. The Truck Premium Display is typically located in the vehicle driver’s compartment. It may be installed in the truck instrument panel using a DIN mounting ring or under the instrument panel using an under dash mounting kit.

The HMI control panel consists of a display and 8 touch-sensitive keys.

The display is capable of showing both text and graphics.

The keys on the left and right sides of the display are dedicated single function “hard” keys.

The four keys under the display are “soft” keys. The functions of these soft keys change depending on the operation being performed. If a soft key is active the current key function is shown in the display directly above the key.

Display

The display presents information to the operator. This information includes setpoint and temperature for each zone, unit or zone operating information, gauge readings, temperatures, and other information as selected by the operator.

Display

The Standard Display of box temperature and setpoint for three zones is shown ( Display). The Cycle Sentry Icon in the upper right of the display shows the unit is running in Cycle Sentry Mode. Zone 1 has a setpoint of -10°F, and a return air temperature of -8.2°F. The downward pointing arrow shows this zone is cooling. Zone 2 has a setpoint of 35°F, and a return air temperature of 35.8°F. The absence of an arrow indicates that this zone is in null. Zone 3 has a setpoint of 50°F, and a return air temperature of 48.8°F. The upward pointing arrow shows this zone is heating.

Note The zone temperature shown is always return air temperature.

The four keys under the display are termed “soft” keys. The functions of these keys change depending on the operation being performed.
