SKID REMOVAL

Remove the four bolts (each section) holding top frame in place and lift frame from unit (38AD024 thru 044 and 38AB054,064 units).

Compressor (with coil) Section — Raise and block

up one side of unit 8 inches. Remove the three exposed hold-down bolts from base skid. Lower unit and repeat on opposite side.

Coil (only) Section (38AB054,064 and 084) —

Raise and block up one end of unit 8 inches. Remove the two exposed hold-down bolts from

base skid. Lower unit and repeat on opposite end.

ERECTING AND INTEGRATING ONE UNIT

Position Units 38AD028,044 and 38AB054,

064,084 so air flow is unrestricted on all sides and on top (Fig. 1).

38AD024,034: any side except compressor end

may be installed against a wall if high leg setting is

used and other three sides are unrestricted.

Place 38AB and 38AD units on high leg setting if

accessory damper is used.

Compressor Mounting

38AD024,028,034 UNITS - As shipped, com

pressor is held down by special self-locking bolts

and plain lockwashers. After unit is installed,

remove the self-locking bolts one at a time and

reassemble with flanged washers and neoprene

snubbers as shown in Fig. 4. Special flanged wash

ers and neoprene snubbers are shipped in a cloth

bag tied to one of the compressor feet. Tighten all

four bolts. Then, loosen each until the flanged

washer can be moved sidewise.

38AD044, 38AB054,064 AND 084 UNITS (com

pressors are mounted on a common support

channel) — Remove the four shipping bolts from

mounting channels prior to start-up.

208- and 230-volt units, outdoor fan motor no. 1 (OFMj), located nearest the compressor, may be used with MOTORMASTER without modification. For 460- and 575-volt units, refer to Tabled for field-supplied components needed with MOTORMASTER.

Fig. 4 — Compressor Mounting

(38AD024,028 and 034)

Fan Thermostat — Route the thermostat control

bulb and capillary (located in compressor section)

thru grommeted hole in compressor section base

pan. Do not kink capillary. Position bulb in inlet

air stream and secure to inlet air flange adjacent to

compressor section. Use clamp and screw provided in parts package.

If accessory head pressure control damper

section is used, secure bulb to air inlet side of

damper. Use hole in damper frame.

Integrate Unit (38AB054,064 and 084 only) —

Connect refrigerant piping between the two sec tions, using materials furnished with unit. Arrange discharge and liquid lines as shown in Fig. 5 and braze as indicated.

Electrically connect unit control box and junc tion box on coil (only) section by using flexible fan conduit furnished in the unit. Use the mating, quick-connect, polarized plugs furnished in the two sections to make the wire connections.

REFRIGERANT PIPING

Refrigerant Line Sizes will depend on length of

piping required between condensing unit and evap orator. Consideration must be given to liquid lift and to compressor oil return. Refer to Part 3 of Carrier System Design Manual for line sizing

information and Fig. 8 for recommended piping details.

Single Pumpout Control — All units are factory

wired to operate on single pumpout control and require a field-supplied liquid line solenoid valve, sized for minimum pressure drop, to be installed immediately ahead of each expansion valve. If unit is to be used with a chiller, wiring modifications may be necessary. Refer to 38AB Application Data, Chilled Water Applications.

Refrigerant Drier and Moisture Indicator — A

filter-drier(s) and a liquid-moisture indicator are

shipped with unit for field installation. Refer to Fig. 9 for typical recommended piping arrange

ments and to Table 5 for physical data on driers.

Receiver — No receiver is provided with unit. It is

recommended that one not be used.

Piping Procedure — Do not remove plastic dust

plugs from suction and liquid line stubs in com

pressor compartment until piping connections are

ready to be made. Pass nitrogen or other inert gas thru piping while brazing, to prevent formation of copper oxide.
