SAFETY COIMSIDERATIONS

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

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 instructions thor

oughly. Consult local building codes and National Electri

cal 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. Electrical shock can cause personal injury.

Air-Cooled Condensing Unit

INSTALLATION

Step 1 — Complete Pre-Installation Checks

UNCRATE UNIT — Remove unit packaging except for the top skid assembly and wood bumpers, which should be left in place until after unit is rigged into place.

INSPECT SHIPMENT — File claim with shipping com pany if shipment is damaged or incomplete.

CONSIDER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

• Consult local building codes and NEC for special instal lation requirements.

• Allow sufficient space for airflow clearance, wiring, refrigerant piping, and servicing unit. See Eig. 1 and Table 1.

• Locate unit so that condenser airflow is unrestricted on all sides and above. Refer to Fig. 1.

• Unit may be mounted on a level pad directly on base rails or mounted on raised pads at support points. See Table 2 for weight distribution based on recommended support points.

NOTE: If vibration isolators are required for a particular in stallation, use data in Table 2 to make proper selection.

2. Pipe sizes are based on an equivalent length equal to the max imum length of interconnecting piping plus 50 percent for fittings.

3. Charge units with R-22 in accordance with unit installation instructions.

SIZE REFRIGERANT LINES - Consider length of pip ing required between condensing unit and evaporator, amount of liquid lift, and compressor oil return. See Table 3 and also refer to Part 3 of Carrier System Design Manual for design details and line sizing. Refer to evaporator installa tion instructions for additional information.

INSTALL FILTER DRIER AND MOISTURE INDICA TOR — The filter drier is factory supplied and field in stalled. Moisture indicator is a field-installed option and should be installed just after liquid line shutoff valve. Do not use a

receiver; there is none provided with unit and one should

not be used. NOTE: Unit is shipped with R-22 holding charge. System

pressure must be relieved before removing caps.

Pass nitrogen or other inert gas through piping while braz

ing to prevent formation of copper oxide.

Install field-supplied thermostatic expansion valve to evap orator section. It is recommended that a field supplied liq uid line solenoid be positioned in the main liquid line close to the evaporator coil, and wired to close when compressor

stops to minimize refrigerant migration during the “OFF” cycle.

Step 2 - Rig and Mount the Unit

ik CAUtlON

Be sure unit panels are securely in place prior to rigging.

RIGGING — These units are designed for overhead rig ging. Refer to rigging label for preferred rigging method. Spreader bars are not required if top crating is left on unit. All panels must be in place when rigging. (See Fig. 2) As further protection for coil faces, plywood sheets may be placed against sides of unit, behind cables. Run cables to a central suspension point so that angle from the horizontal is not less than 45 degrees. Raise and set unit down carefully.

If it is necessary to roll unit into position, mount unit on

rails, using a minimum of 3 rollers. Apply force to rails,

not unit. If unit is to be skidded into position, place it on a

large pad and drag it by the pad. Do not apply any force to

unit.

Raise from above to lift unit from rails or pad when unit

is in final position.

After unit is in position, remove all shipping wrapping

and top crating.

Step 3 — Complete Refrigerant Piping Connec tions — Suction connection is 1-1/8-in. sweat with plas

tic cap; liquid connection is 1/2-in. sweat with plastic cap. Follow standard piping practices.

Step 4 — Make Electrical Connections

A WARNING

Unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken elec

trical ground to minimize the possibility of personal in

jury 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 elec

trical ground when installed in accordance with NEC

ANSI (American National Standards Institute)/NFPA

(National Fire Protection Association) 70-1987 and lo

cal electrical codes. Failure to follow this warning could

result in the installer being liable for personal injury of

others.
