Available options
Door switch kit
Reduces load temperature rise and saves fuel when the vehicle doors are opened by turning off the refrigeration system. Unit will automatically restart when doors are closed.

The din adaptor box enables the controller to be installed in the vehicle dashboard. The aesthetically-designed box allows the controller to be fitted in any available radio slot.
Hose covers
Highly durable kits providing total protection for hoses and cables while enhancing vehicle appearance. Easily installed on all bodies. Metal and plastic options are available.
Muffler kit
Purpose-designed kit to eliminate transmission of unit vibration and noise into the driver cab. Provides significant gains in driver comfort.
