Do you not have switch in-cab that volition shut it downwards. I had a few Tri-Pacs and they had switches in-cab but. Every one was brand new and I had to take it to Thermo King and go the settings fix.
Thermo King asked me a bunch of Questions and based on that they set up the Parameters to my needs and liking. it but took an hour or two. The had to switch out a few fuses that the factory should never take put in. A re-call kind of thing.

I don't know annihilation well-nigh that model but my friends is set to automatic temp and his comes on right away. Could also be bad batteries or your alternator is shot and not charging the batteries.

One other reason information technology might start immediately.
Does your truck take an arctic kit installed. Simple way to tell is it plumbed into the engine coolant. If it is, there volition exist two sensors shut to the engine. One with white and one with bluish wires.
The white wire sensor is your arctic switch. It tells the apu to run when the coolant gets below 35°F and shut off above 100°F.
If that sensor fails, it will start immediately after coming out of standby mode or existence turned on.

Good topic!!! I just recently institute out almost this. I've seen many many many company trucks pull up to the fuel island. They shut their truck off and the Tri-Pak starts up immediately and shuts off when they start the truck. This is a setting inside the Tri-Pak and large companies take realized that running the batteries down to 50% and then the Tri-Pak starting up does not cut information technology and shortens the life of the batteries. The Tri-Pak uses the least amount of fuel out of all the APU's on the marketplace. Mainly because they don't have a generator inside.

When in air workout mode my effort-pac starts upward when I shut downwardly to fuel and I just flip the toggle switch and shut it down until I finish fueling. The tri-pac engine is right at the passenger fuel tank where yous fuel. Doesn't seem safety to me to let it run so I shut mine off.

The Tri-Pak tin be password protected and then company drivers tin't fiddle with the settings and so they don't have a option. My friend who only had a large bunk installed on his truck also had a Tri-Pak put on. He went to change the settings and it wouldn't allow him. He called the company and they wanted money to give him the password!!! He got information technology for free.

When in air conditioning way my try-pac starts up when I shut down to fuel and I only flip the toggle switch and close it downward until I finish fueling. The tri-pac engine is right at the passenger fuel tank where you fuel. Doesn't seem prophylactic to me to let it run so I shut mine off.
Not all units take that installed

The new tripacs have a different control panel from the old style. It basically locks out the user. For a company driver, probably not a bad thing. I take a couple of command settings I change that reset to factory default any fourth dimension y'all unhook the battery. Namely I change the compressor filibuster time to 60 seconds instead of eight for the time earlier the compressor to kick in. It really allows for the engine to commencement and settle down to run skillful without dogging it out. I was shown that pull a fast one on by a tk tech out in Washington.
If the engine starts shortly after shutting the big engine off, I'd cut a wire to the chill sensor as a quick exam. My guess is its that long before the batteries.
You'd be having issues with the big alternator and starter as well if it were the main batteries.

I am very leary about doing any mods to the truck. At least until the championship is mine.
I had all those same questions as well. Especially the early on purchase-out and accelerated payments.

Mine (tripac) when I was driving (before got put considering no SPE) was boot on immediately when shut off, was pissing me off. Tested batteries and iii of 4 were no adept. I don't know how truck cranked (wouldn't long if needed to or if left cb on it would be dead if had APU off). I put 4 new batteries in and it doesn't do it now. It only kicks on when gets below artic temp settings or battery level but since I am out of truck and its sitting now the fridge is out of truck so don't fifty-fifty accept APU switched on. I could switch on merely since it'southward April and in Kansas it isn't cold enough to kick on for artic bundle, nor would I demand to since truck isn't moving currently.
