Installation and Start-Up Instructions

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installing and servicing air conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should install or service air conditioning equipment.

Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance, such as cleaning and replacing filters. All other opera­ tions should be performed by trained service personnel.

When working on air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in literature and on tags and labels attached to unit.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations.

Have fire extinguisher available. Read these instruc­ tions thoroughly. Consult local building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) for special installation requirements.

A WARNING

Before installing or servicing system, always turn off main power to system. There may be more than one disconnect switch. Turn off accessory heater power if applicable. Electrical shock can cause personal injury.

Step 1 — Check Equipment and Jobsite —

Install on a solid, level mounting pad. It is not recom­ mended that unit be attached to pad using tiedown bolts. Fasten unit to pad using holes provided in unit mounting feet. See Fig. 1.

When installing, allow sufficient space for airflow clearance, wiring, refrigerant piping and service. Main­ tain a minimum of 4 ft clearance from obstructions above and 18 in. on 3 sides of unit (12 in. on fourth side). Main­ tain a distance of 24 in. between condensing units. Posi­ tion so water or ice from roof or eaves cannot fall directly on unit.

Step 2 — Replace Indoor AccuRater™ Piston, if required.

 

REPLACE ACCURATER REFRIGERANT

CON­

 

 

TROL PISTON in the indoor coil, if required, before

 

 

connecting refrigerant lines. Refer to Table 2 for proper

 

 

piston size.

 

 

 

Step 3 — Make Piping Connections — Outdoor

 

 

units may be connected to indoor sections using Carrier

 

 

accessory tubing package (refer to Service

Data) or

 

 

field-supplied tubing of refrigerant grade, correct size

 

 

(see Table 1) and condition. For tubing requirements

 

 

beyond 50 ft, obtain information from your local

 

 

distributor.

 

 

 

Outdoor Units Connected to Carrier-Approved

 

 

Indoor Units — Outdoor units contain correct system

refrigerant charge for operation with indoor unit of the

 

same size when connected by 25 ft of field-supplied or

 

Carrier accessory tubing. Check refrigerant charge for

Fig. 1 — Dimensions, Connections and

 

and Service Data).

A CAUTION

DO NOT BURY MORE THAN 3 FT OF RE­ FRIGERANT TUBING IN GROUND. If any section of tubing is buried, there must be a 6-in. vertical rise to the valve connections on the outdoor unit. If more than the recommended length is buried, refrigerant may migrate to cooler buried section during extended periods of unit shutdown, causing refrigerant slugging and possibly compressor damage at start-up.

Fig. 3 — Repair of Mechanicai Connection

CONNECT REFRIGERANT LINES to fittings on outdoor unit suction and liquid service valves (Fig. 1). Unit Compatible Fittings permit mechanical (quickconnect) or sweat connections.

Models 38EN048,060 — When using 1-1/8-in. fieldsupplied refrigerant suction line, sweat-connect suction line to 1-1/8-in. end of required connection adapter. Be sure to provide a heat sink at the service valve to prevent damage during sweating operation. Connect 3/4-in. end of adapter to unit suction line Compatible Fitting. Connect liquid refrigerant line to unit. When a 7/8-in. field-supplied suction line is used, provide a fieldsupplied 3/4-in. to 7/8-in. suction line adapter (not necessary if 38LS accessory tubing is used).
