Reefer setting

35 deg should be good on cycle sentry there will be a temp range set in micro processor, the temp range can be adjusted either a norrower or wider range. i pull t/k reefer and it has a 5 deg variation. i wouldn't worry to much with cheese now produce is much more sensitive to temp variations. run produce on continuous always, and inspect produce for freezing damage and pulp every pallet and write pulp temps down. a little off topic but pertains to reefer as well.

 

I'd run on continuous... it's the cycling setting that it's causing your temp variations.

 

You are now, a higher authority has spoken, if you have it in reproducible form. I used to take pictures of some of my Qualcomm exchanges, just in case.

 

Cheese is FINE at 35 cycle--the fluctuation on the readout is interior box ambient temp--which basically tells the unit when to start and stop(oversimplified)it doesnt mean the product actual temp is fluctuating that much......Cheese is a fairly easy load and requires VERY little...as with most dairy products

 

Chewy,
What Olhand told you is what I would have told you had I read this thread from the get go. The only other thing I might add is that if you load a load for a short duration haul simply put the unit on continuous so your temp will be or close to where it should be at destination! Yes it may burn a little more fuel in the process
but its better than a claim against the load!

 

all my cheese loads are 35 cont

 

If the load has a recorder placed at a "bad spot", some cycle sentry settings may get you into trouble. The good thing about continuous is it prevents (or greatly reduces) "hot spots" and maintains a much more constant and steady temp front to back, side to side, and top to bottom. While it's true the actual product temp won't vary as much as the readout says (if any), long periods of no interior circulation can cause minor temp swings, more so in some areas of the interior then in others, especially near the rear of the trailer where most recorders are placed.
