    OK, we, I get these Macro's to report my APU hrs. My trainer truck did not have a rigmaster, so. I sent RA a message asking how to do this little annoying task. Kinda like reporting yesterdays hrs???:biggrin_25523:
    Anywa, I was told to turn the power off and push the select button on the bunk control panel. Did this but I see no apu hours, I do see time/date/temp?

    Slick, isn't your hours on the screen above the controls. Should be a small LCD readout of your hours in the upper right corner of the control box.

    Ours is like this: And the hours show in box 3

    You could have this control though, and the hours should show in box labeled 1

    Unless you have this controler, which I'm assuming you don't because the button is on the panel, says Operating Hours:

    Listen, the computer will reject any number that doesnt compute. The last guy with that unit could have entered a much higher number and the computer will reject any number that is less than that number.

    I had a chip fry on my Tripac last year. Until it was replaced the hours showed 9999. Now since it worked fine and I used it for a couple weeks before the chip was replaced, I forgot what the last input for hours that I submitted.

    The chip got replaced when the PM came due and it re-started the hours at 0000. Ive notified Road Assist a few times, they havent a clue or dont care... so i dont report my APU hours because the computer just spits back that its impossible to report hours that are less than previously reported hours.

    I have the TRIPAC manual and I know exactly when and what PMs need to be done... thats all that matters, because the hours at which those PMs are done are on the work reciepts, so there is a record that I am getting them done at the correct intervals.
