This is the full audiobook of the complete factory Diagnostic Manual for the Thermo King Spectrum TS — Thermo King TK 51652-1-OD (Rev. 1, 01/03) — for the SPECTRUM TS multi-temperature truck units and the ThermoGuard SPECTRUM control system (Controller Software Rev 2500, HMI Software Rev 6500). Seventeen tracks, about 25 minutes: the hardware, the software, the operation, the complete alarm code diagnostics (every code, 00–134), the service procedures, the software and board interchange information, the refrigeration system section, and the drawings — narrated section by section, in the book's order. This is the AUDIO ONLY. The ebook itself (401 pages, with every diagram, table and drawing) is sold separately, and together in the bundle.

WHAT THIS BOOK IS — AND WHAT IT IS NOT: This is the Spectrum TS DIAGNOSTIC manual — Thermo King TK 51652-1-OD (Rev. 1, 01/03), © 2002 Thermo King Corporation. It is the diagnostics and troubleshooting book for the SPECTRUM TS multi-temperature truck units and the ThermoGuard SPECTRUM control system (Controller Software Rev 2500, HMI Software Rev 6500): the control-system hardware and software, operation, the complete alarm/fault code diagnostics, the service procedures, the refrigeration system section, and the schematic and wiring drawings. The separate Spectrum TS Maintenance Manual is NOT included in this book — it is a different manual, and it will be published later as its own book. Nothing in this book is maintenance-manual content, and none is claimed. Also stated plainly: this manual has no alphabetical index — Thermo King built its finding around the section contents lists, and those are all in this book. The drawings in Section 9 are labeled TS 500 SPECTRUM — that is how Thermo King printed them in this manual, and they are reproduced exactly as printed (Schematic 5D55037 Rev. C, Wiring Diagram 5D55036 Rev. C).
