Installation and servicing of air conditioning equipment
can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only trainedandqualified service personnel should
install, repair or service air conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions of cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All
other operations should be performed by trained service personnel. When working on air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached
to the unit, and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safetycodes. Wearsafety glasses andwork gloves.
Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire extinguisher available for all brazing operations.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on
unit, turn offmain power switch to unit. Electrical shock
could cause personal injury.
INSTALLATION
Unit is shipped in the vertical configuration. To convert to
horizontal configuration, remove side duct opening covers.
Using the same screws, install covers on vertical duct openings with the insulation-side down. Seals around duct openings must be tight.
IMPORTANT: An external filter kit MUST be used,
or the filters MUST be field-installed outside the unit
on horizontal applications with accessory economizer
or two-position damper. Otherwise, the economizer or
two-position must be partially removed to access the
filters. The area of the field-installed filters should be
equal to the area of the factory-installed filters.
Step 1 — Provide Unit Support
ROOF CURB — Assemble and install accessory roof curb
in accordance with instructions shipped with curb. See
Fig. 1. Install insulation, cant strips, roofing and counter flashing as shown. Ductwork must be attached to curb, not to theunit. If electric or control power is to be routed through the
curb, attach the accessory thru-the-curb service connection
plates to the roof curb in accordance with the accessory installation instructions. Connection plates must be installed
before unit is set in roof curb.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof
curb is critical for a watertight seal. Install gasket supplied with the roof curb as shown in Fig. 1. Improperly applied gasket also can result in air leaks and poor
unit performance.
Curb should be level. Unit leveling tolerances are shown
in Fig. 2. This is necessary for unit drain to function properly. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb Installation Instructions
for additional information as required.
SLAB MOUNT (Horizontal Units Only) — Provide a level
concrete slab that extends a minimum of 152 mm (6 in.) beyond unit cabinet. The slab should be 203 mm (8 in.) thick
with 102 mm (4 in.) above grade. Install a gravel apron in
front of outdoor coil air inlet to prevent grass and foliage
from obstructing airflow. In areas where high snowfall
occurs, increase height of slab to ensure that snow does not
block coil.
NOTE: Horizontal units may be installed on a roof curb if
required.
Step 2 — Field Fabricate Ductwork — On verti-
cal discharge units, secure all ducts to roof curb and building
structure. Do not connect ductwork to unit. For horizontal
applications, field-supplied flanges should be attached to horizontal discharge openings and all ductwork attached to the
flanges. Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints
and roof openings with counter flashing and mastic in accordance with applicable codes.
Ducts passing through an unconditioned space must be
insulated and covered with a vapor barrier.
If a plenum return is used on a vertical unit, the return
should be ducted through the roof deck to comply with applicable fire codes.
Aminimumclearance to combustibles is not required around
ductwork on vertical discharge units. On horizontal discharge units, a minimum clearance of 25 mm (one in.) is
required for the first 305 mm (12 in.) of ductwork.
Cabinet return-air static shall not exceed −87 Pa
(−.35 in. wg) with economizer or −112Pa (−.45 in. wg) without economizer.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

Step 3 — Make Field Connection for CondensateDisposal —
See Fig. 3. A3⁄4-in. FPT connection is located on the side of
the unit. Use a trap at least 100 mm (4 in.) deep, and protect
against freeze-up.
If drain line is run to a drain, pitch line away from unit at
25 mm (one in.) per 3 m (10 ft) of run. Do not use a pipe size
smaller than the unit connection.
Units must have an external trap added.
Step4 — Rig andPlace Unit — Inspect unit for trans-
portation damage. File any claim with transportation agency.
Keep unit upright and do not drop. Spreader bars are not
required if top crating is left on unit. Rollers may be used to
move unit across a roof. Level by using unit frame as a reference. See Tables 1A and 1B and Fig. 4 for additional information. Operating weight is shown in Tables 1A and 1B
and Fig. 4.
Lifting holes are provided in base rails as shown in
Fig. 4 and 5. Refer to rigging instructions on unit.
All panels must be in place when rigging.
POSITIONING — Maintain clearance around and above unit
to provide proper air flow and service access. See Fig. 5.
Position unit on roof curb so that the following clearances
are maintained; 6 mm (
1
⁄4in.) clearance between roof curb
and base rails on each side and front of unit: 29 mm (15⁄
in.) clearance between roof curb and rear of unit (see Fig. 1,
section C-C).
Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate
unit air inlet near exhaust vents or other sources of contaminated air.
Although unit is weatherproof, guard against water from
higher level runoff and overhangs.
After unit is in position, remove polyethylene shipping wrapper and rigging skid.
NOTE: Trap should be deep enough to offset maximum unit static
difference. A 100 mm (4 in.) trap is recommended.

Step 5 — Make Electrical Connections
Unit cabinet must have uninterrupted, unbroken electrical ground to minimize the possibility of personal
injury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground
may consist of electrical wire connected to unit ground
lug in control compartment, or conduit approved for electrical ground when installed in accordance with U.S.A.
National Electrical Code (Ref: ANSI/NFPA 70-1987)
or equivalent local electrical codes. Failure to follow this
warning could result in the installer being liable for personal injury of others.
FIELD POWER SUPPLY — Pigtails are provided for field
wire connections. Use factory-supplied splices or copper/
aluminum connector.
When installing units, provide a disconnect per local codes.
All field wiring must comply with local requirements.
Install conduit through side panel openings. For units without electric heat, install conduit between disconnect and control box. Install power lines to terminal connections as shown
in Fig. 6. For units with electric resistance heat, refer to Table
2 to determine appropriate power wiring figure (Fig.7-13)
and route lines as indicated in appropriate figure.
Voltage to compressor terminals during operation must be
within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate (also see
Table 2). On 3-phase units, voltages between phases must be
balanced within 2% and the current within 10%. Use the formula shown in Table 2, Note 3 to determine the % voltage
imbalance. Operation on improper line voltage or excessive
phase imbalance constitutes abuse and may cause damage to
electrical components. Such operation would invalidate any
applicable Carrier warranty.
When electric heat is installed, remove knockouts for appropriate size conduit from unit block-off panel and single
point box. Install conduit (rigid or electro-metallic tubing)
through conduit drip boot as shown in Fig. 14. Drip boot
eliminates the need for water tight conduit fittings at the single
point box. Refer to Fig. 15 for component locations.
