the literature, and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the
equipment, and any other safety precautions that apply. Follow
all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use
care in handling, rigging, and setting this equipment, and in
handling all electrical components.
WARNING
Electrical shock can cause personal injury and death. Shut
off all power to this equipment during installation and
service. There may be more than one disconnect switch.
Tag all disconnect locations to alert others not to restore
power until work is completed.
WARNING
DO NOT VENT refrigerant relief valves within a building.
Outlet from relief valves must be vented outdoors in
accordance with the latest edition of ANSI/ASHRAE
(American National Standards Institute/American Society
of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers)
15 (Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration). The
accumulation of refrigerant in an enclosed space can
displace oxygen and cause asphyxiation. Provide adequate
ventilation in enclosed or low overhead areas. Inhalation of
high concentrations of vapor is harmful and may cause
heart irregularities, unconsciousness or death. Misuse can
be fatal. Vapor is heavier than air and reduces the amount
of oxygen available for breathing. Product causes eye and
skin irritation. Decomposition products are hazardous.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to unbraze factory joints when servicing
this equipment. Compressor oil is flammable and there is
no way to detect how much oil may be in any of the
refrigerant lines. Cut lines with a tubing cutter as required
when performing service. Use a pan to catch any oil that
may come out of the lines and as a gage for how much oil
to add to system. DO NOT re-use compressor oil.
CAUTION
This unit uses a microprocessor-based electronic control
system. Do not use jumpers or other tools to short out
components, or to bypass or otherwise depart from recommended procedures. Any short-to-ground of the control
board or accompanying wiring may destroy the electronic
modules or electrical components.
CAUTION
Puron® refrigerant (R-410A) systems operate at higher
pressures than standard R-22 systems. Do not use R-22 service equipment or components on Puron refrigerant equipment. If service equipment is not rated for Puron
refrigerant, equipment damage or personal injury may
result.

Main Base Board (MBB) — See Fig. 20. The MBB is
the heart of the ComfortLink control system. It contains the
major portion of operating software and controls the operation
of the machine. The MBB continuously monitors input/output
channel information received from its inputs and from all other
modules. The MBB receives inputs from the discharge and
suction pressure transducers, current sensor boards (CSB) and
thermistors. See Table 3. The MBB also receives the discrete
inputs from the thermostat contacts and other status switches.
See Table 4. The MBB also controls several outputs. Information is transmitted between modules via a 3-wire communication bus or LEN (Local Equipment Network). The CCN (Carrier Comfort Network
®
) bus is also supported. Connections to
both LEN and CCN buses are made at the LVT (low voltage
terminal) terminal strip.
Current Sensor Board (CSB) — The CSB is used to
monitor the status of the compressors by measuring current and
providing an analog input to the main base board (MBB) or
compressor expansion module (CXB).
Energy Management Module (EMM) — The EMM
module is available as a factory-installed option or as a fieldinstalled accessory. The EMM module receives 4 to 20 mA
inputs for the percent capacity, temperature reset, cooling set
point, and demand limit functions. The EMM module also receives the switch inputs for the field-installed 2-stage demand
limit and when two thermostats are used for one unit. The
EMM module communicates the status of all inputs with the
MBB, and the MBB adjusts the control point, capacity limit,
and other functions according to the inputs received.

and scrolling marquee display is interrupted when this switch is
off and all outputs from these modules will be turned off.
Board Addresses — The main base board (MBB) has a
3-position Instance jumper that must be set to ‘1.’ All other
boards have 4-position DIP switches. All switches are set to
‘On’ for all boards.
Control Module Communication
RED LED — Proper operation of the control boards can be
visually checked by looking at the red status LEDs
(light-emitting diodes). When operating correctly, the red status
LEDs should be blinking in unison at a rate of once every
2 seconds. If the red LEDs are not blinking in unison, verify
that correct power is being supplied to all modules. Be sure that
the main base board (MBB) is supplied with the current software. If necessary, reload current software. If the problem still
persists, replace the MBB. A red LED that is lit continuously or
blinking at a rate of once per second or faster indicates that the
board should be replaced.
GREEN LED — The MBB has one green LED. The Local
Equipment Network (LEN) LED should always be blinking
whenever power is on. All other boards have a LEN LED
which should be blinking whenever power is on. Check LEN
connections for potential communication errors at the board J3
and/or J4 connectors. Communication between modules is
accomplished by a 3-wire sensor bus. These 3 wires run in
parallel from module to module. The J4 connector on the MBB
provides both power and communication directly to the
marquee display only.
YELLOW LED — The MBB has one yellow LED. The
Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) LED will blink during times
of network communication.
The 38AP units can be connected to the CCN if desired. The
communication bus wiring is a shielded, 3-conductor cable
with drain wire and is supplied and installed in the field. See
Table 5. The system elements are connected to the communication bus in a daisy chain arrangement. The positive pin of
each system element communication connector must be wired
to the positive pins of the system elements on either side of it.
This is also required for the negative and signal ground pins of
each system element. Wiring connections for CCN should be
made at LVT. Consult the CCN Contractor’s Manual for further information.
NOTE: Conductors and drain wire must be 20 AWG (American Wire Gage) minimum stranded, tinned copper. Individual
conductors must be insulated with PVC, PVC/nylon, vinyl,
Teflon, or polyethylene. An aluminum/polyester 100% foil
shield and an outer jacket of PVC, PVC/nylon, chrome vinyl,
or Teflon with a minimum operating temperature range of
–20 C to 60 C is required. Wire manufactured by Alpha (2413
or 5463), American (A22503), Belden (8772), or Columbia
(02525) meets the above mentioned requirements.
It is important when connecting to a CCN communication
bus that a color coding scheme be used for the entire network
to simplify the installation. It is recommended that red be used
for the signal positive, black for the signal negative, and white
for the signal ground. Use a similar scheme for cables containing different colored wires.
At each system element, the shields of its communication
bus cables must be tied together. If the communication bus is
entirely within one building, the resulting continuous shield
must be connected to a ground at one point only. If the communication bus cable exits from one building and enters another,
the shields must be connected to grounds at the lightning
suppressor in each building where the cable enters or exits the
building (one point per building only). To connect the unit to
the network:
1. Turn off power to the control box.
2. Cut the CCN wire and strip the ends of the red (+), white
3. Connect the red wire to (+) terminal on LVT of the plug,
(ground), and black (–) conductors. (Substitute appropriate colors for different colored cables.)
the white wire to COM terminal, and the black wire to the
(–) terminal.

4. The RJ14 CCN connector on LVT can also be used, but is
only intended for temporary connection (for example, a
laptop computer running Service Tool).
IMPORTANT: A shorted CCN bus cable will prevent some
routines from running and may prevent the unit from starting. If abnormal conditions occur, unplug the connector. If
conditions return to normal, check the CCN connector and
cable. Run new cable if necessary. A short in one section of
the bus can cause problems with all system elements on the
bus.
Sensors — The electronic control uses 3 to 7 thermistors to
sense temperatures for controlling unit operation. See Table 3.
These sensors are outlined below. Three different thermistor
curves are utilized depending on the thermistor and the configuration of the input. The three different types are 5 kat 77 F
(25 C), 10 kat 77 F (25 C), and 86 k at 77 F (25 C). See
Thermistors section on page 49 for additional information.
RETURN AIR TEMPERATURE (RAT) ACCESSORY
(Part No. 33ZCSENSAT) — A return air temperature sensor
is required for unit sizes 040-100 and all units equipped with
the digital scroll option. The sensor is field installed in the
indoor unit and wired to the LVT of the unit to measure the air
temperature entering the evaporator coil. The sensor should be
located directly in front of the evaporator coil after an outside
air intake.
The RAT sensor consists of a thermistor encased within a
stainless steel probe. See Fig. 22. The sensor probe is 6 in.
nominal length with 114 in. of unshielded, 2-conductor
18 AWG twisted-pair cables. The sensor temperature range is
–40 to 245 F with a nominal resistance of 10,000 ohms at 77 F.
The sensor has with an accuracy of ±0.36 F.

SUPPLY AIR TEMPERATURE (SAT) ACCESSORY
(33ZCSENSAT) — A supply air temperature sensor is
required for unit sizes 040-100 and all units equipped with the
digital scroll option. The SAT sensor consists of a thermistor
encased within a stainless steel probe. See Fig. 22. The SAT
sensor probe is 6 in. nominal length with 114 in. of unshielded,
2-conductor 18 AWG twisted-pair cables. The sensor temperature range is –40 to 245 F with a nominal resistance of
10,000 ohms at 77 F. The sensor has an accuracy of ±0.36 F.
NOTE: The sensor must be mounted in the discharge of the
unit, downstream of the cooling coil and before any heating
coil or heat exchanger if reheat is utilized. Be sure the probe tip
does not come in contact with any of the unit surfaces.
COMPRESSOR RETURN GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR (RGT) — These sensors are factory installed in a friction fit well located in the suction line of each circuit. They are
a 5 k thermistor connected to the main base board.
OUTDOOR-AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (OAT) —
This sensor is factory installed on a bracket which is inserted
through the base pan of the unit on the unit sizes 025-060 and
mounted to the back of the control box on the unit sizes 070-
100. This sensor is a 5 k thermistor connected to the main
base board.
DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE THERMISTOR
(DTT) — This sensor is only used on units with a digital
compressor. The sensor is mounted on the discharge line close
to the discharge of the digital compressor. It attaches to the discharge line using a spring clip and protects the system from
high discharge gas temperature when the digital compressor is
used. This sensor is a 86 k thermistor connected to the AUX
board.
SPACE TEMPERATURE SENSOR (SPT) — The space
temperature sensors are used to measure the interior
temperature of a building. The following three types of SPT
sensors are available:
• Space temperature sensor (33ZCT55SPT) with timed
override button (see Fig. 23)
• Space temperature sensor (33ZCT56SPT) with timed
override button and set point adjustment (see Fig. 24)
• Space temperature sensor (33ZCT59SPT) with occupancy override button, set point adjustment slidebar, and
LCD (liquid crystal display) display
The sensor should be mounted approximately 5 ft from the
floor in an area representing the average temperature in the
space. Allow at least 4 ft between the sensor and any corner.
Mount the sensor at least 2 ft from an open doorway.
To connect the space temperature sensor (Fig. 25):
1. Use a 20 gage wire to connect the sensor to the controller.
The wire is suitable for distances of up to 500 ft. Use a
three-conductor shielded cable for the sensor and set
point adjustment connections. The standard CCN
communication cable may be used. If the set point
adjustment (slidebar) is not required, then an unshielded,
18 or 20 gage, two-conductor, twisted pair cable may be
used. Connect one wire of the twisted pair to one SEN
terminal and connect the other wire to the other SEN terminal located under the cover of the space temperature
sensor.
2. Connect the other ends of the wires to terminals 21 and
22 on LVT located in the unit control box.
3. Connect the T56 set point adjustment between the SET
terminal and LVT terminal 23.

mended and needs to be field installed in the indoor unit. Several different types of switches can be utilized, such as a differential pressure switch located across the indoor fan or auxiliary
contacts on an indoor fan contactor.
Thermostat Input — A two-stage thermostat can be
used for constant volume applications to provide Y1 and Y2
cooling inputs.
Pressure Transducer Inputs — Each refrigerant cir-
cuit is equipped with a suction and discharge pressure transducer. The suction pressure transducers have a yellow body
with a pressure range of -6.7 to 420 psig while the discharge
transducers have a red body with a pressure range of 14.5 to
667 psig. These inputs connect to the MBB (main base board)
and are used to monitor the status of the unit and to ensure the
unit operates within the compressor envelope. The transducers
are used to protect the compressor from operating at too low or
too high of a pressure condition. In some cases, the unit may
not be able to run at full capacity. The MBB will automatically
reduce the capacity of a circuit as needed to maintain specified
maximum/minimum operating pressures.
Energy Management Module (Fig. 28) — The
energy management module (EMM) is a factory-installed option (FIOP) or field-installed accessory used for the following
types of temperature reset, demand limit, and capacity control
features:
• 4 to 20 mA temperature reset
• 4 to 20 mA cooling set point
• 4 to 20 mA desired capacity set point
• 4 to 20 mA demand limit
• Discrete inputs for 2-step demand limit (requires fieldsupplied dry contacts capable of handling a 24 vac,
50 mA load)
• Discrete inputs for units with dual thermostats
NOTE: A field-supplied 4 to 20 mA signal generator is required for use with the EMM.
See VAV Supply Air Temperature Reset and Demand Limit
sections on pages 29 and 31 for further details.
CAUTION
Care should be taken when interfacing with other manufacturer’s control systems due to possible power supply
differences, full wave bridge versus half wave rectification.
The two different power supplies cannot be mixed.
ComfortLink™ controls use half wave rectification. A
signal isolation device should be utilized if a full wave
bridge signal generating device is used.
Control — When mechanical cooling is required, the MBB
has the capability to control the unit capacity by staging multiple scroll compressors and controlling the digital scroll compressor operation. The control also checks on various other operation parameters in the unit to make sure that safeties are not
exceeded and the compressors are reliably operated.
The ComfortLink™ control system offers two basic control
approaches to mechanical cooling; constant volume operation
for 2 stages of cooling or VAV operation for multiple stages
of cooling. In addition to these methods of control, the
ComfortLink control offers the ability to run multiple stages of
cooling for either a space temperature sensor or thermostat
control by controlling the unit to either a low or high cool set
point. The control type ConfigurationOPT2C.TYP determines the selection of the type of cooling control as well as
the method for selecting a cooling mode.
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
Machine Control Type (
— The most important cooling control configuration is located
under ConfigurationOPT2. This configuration defines the
method and control source responsible for selecting a cooling
mode. The configuration also determines the method by which
compressors are staged. Control types are:
• C.TYP = 1 (VAV-RAT) configuration refers to standard
VAV operation.
ConfigurationOPT2 C.TYP)
23

Fig. 29 — Space Temperature vs.
Space Temperature Set Point
A48-7701
• C.TYP = 3 (TSTAT-MULTI) configuration will force
the MBB to monitor the thermostat inputs to make a
determination of mode. Unlike traditional 2-stage thermostat control, the unit is allowed to use multiple stages
of cooling control and perform VAV style operation. The
control will be able to call out a low set point or a high
set point to maintain supply air temperature. (Required
for 025-030 units with digital scroll option and 040-100
units with two-stage thermostat control.)
• C.TYP = 4 (TSTAT-2STG) configuration will force the
MBB to monitor the thermostat inputs to make a determination of mode.
• C.TYP = 5 (SPT-MULTI) configuration will force the
MBB to monitor a space temperature sensor to make a
determination of mode. Unlike traditional 2-stage space
temperature control, the unit is allowed to use multiple
stages of cooling control and perform VAV style operation. The control will be able to call out a low set point or
a high set point to maintain supply air temperature.
• C.TYP = 7 (% CAPACITY) configuration will force the
MBB to monitor the 4-20 cooling demand CL.MA input
and translate this into desired % capacity for the unit.
• C.TYP = 9 (VAV-SETPOINT) configuration will force
the MBB to monitor the 4-20 cooling demand CL.MA
input. This value will be translated into a desired leaving-air set point ranging from 40 to 80 F. The control will
translate the input linearly with 4 ma equal to 40 F set
point and 20 mA equal to 80 F set point.
Unit Capacity Control Based on Unit Type
— The MBB
uses several set points to control capacity depending on unit
type. The set points are located in the set point area of the display SetPointsCOOL. Refer to Table 6 and the following
descriptions.
Table 6 — Unit Capacity Control

• C.TYP = 1 (VAV-RAT) is a capacity control routine that
controls compressor capacity to supply air temperature.
The MBB will attempt to control leaving temperature to
the control point (CTPT) which equals CSP1 plus any
reset which is being applied.
• C.TYP = 3 (TSTAT-MULTI) configuration will force the
MBB to monitor the thermostat inputs to make a determination of control point (CTPT). The control will vary
the control point based on Y1 and Y2 inputs. When Y1 is
closed CSP1 will be used and when Y2 is closed CSP2
will be used as the supply air temperature set point.
CSP1 should be greater than CSP2.
• C.TYP = 4 (TSTAT-2STG) configuration will force the
MBB to monitor the thermostat inputs to make a determination of mode and capacity. If Y1 input is closed,
50% of the unit capacity will be energized and if Y2 is
closed, 100% of the unit capacity will be energized.
NOTE: This is not a preferred method of control for units
with greater than 2 stages of capacity
• C.TYP = 5 (SPT-MULTI) configuration will force the
MBB to monitor the thermostat inputs to determine
mode and cooling set point as the unit is controlled by
space temperature vs space temperature set point SPS.P.
Unlike traditional 2-stage thermostat control, the unit is
allowed to use multiple stages of cooling control and perform VAV style operation. The control will be able to call
out a low set point (CSP1) or high set point (CSP2) for
supply air depending on space temperature vs space
temperature set point. The control uses SPS.P, LC.ON,
HC.ON, and LC.OF to determine the leaving set point.
LC.ON and HC.ON are added to the space temperature
set point to determine when cooling mode will begin and
when CSP1 and CSP2 will be used for leaving set point.
Based on LC.OF, the control point transitions betweenCSP1 and CSP2. LC.OF is used to calculate the space temperature at which control point is raised based on space temperature vs space temperature set point (SPS.P) plus
LC.ON minus LC.OF. The control point transition from
CSP2 to CSP1 occurs when space temperature is below
LC.OF divided by 2.
For example (see Fig. 29):
Given: SPS.P = 72 F, LC.ON = 1, HC.ON = 3,
LC.OF = 2 F, CSP1 = 60 F, and CSP2 = 55 F
If space temperature equals 73 F (72+1) (Low Cool)
cooling will begin and control set point equals 60 F
(CSP1).
If space temperature is greater than 76 F (72+1+3 = 76)
(High Cool), control point set point would equal 55 F
(CSP2).
If space temperature falls below 72 F (73-2/2) (Low
Cool minus LC.OF/2), control point transitions back to
60 F CSP1 if space continues to fall below 71 F (73-2)
(Low Cool minus LC.OF), the unit is shut off.

• C.TYP = 7 (% CAPACITY) configuration will force the
MBB to monitor the input 4-20 cooling demand CL.MA
and translate this into desired % capacity for the unit.
The control will attempt to match the desired capacity
insuring the unit operates the compressor within compressor safeties and timeguards. (Requires the EMM
option or accessory.)
• C.TYP = 9 (VAV-SETPOINT) configuration will force
the MBB to operate as a VAV unit and control capacity to
meet supply air temperature. The control point is developed from the 4-20 cooling demand CL.MA input value.
The 4 to 20 mA input will be translated into a desired
control point ranging from 40 to 80 F. The control will
translate the input linearly with 4 mA equal to 40 F set
point and 20 mA equal to 80 F set point. (Requires the
EMM option or accessory.)
Capacity Control Logic when Control is Controlling to Supply Temperature — The control system cycles compressors,
hot gas bypass and the digital compressor to maintain the supply temperature at or close to the control point of the unit. The
SAT and RAT sensors are used by the main base board (MBB)
to determine the temperature drop across the evaporator and
are used in determining the optimum time to add or subtract capacity stages. The CSP set points can be automatically reset by

the return temperature, space, or outdoor-air temperature reset
features. It can also be reset from an external 4 to 20 mA signal
(requires energy management module factory-installed option
or field-installed accessory).
The control has an automatic lead-lag feature built in which
determines the wear factor (combination of starts and run
hours) for each compressor. If all compressors are off and less
than 30 minutes has elapsed since the last compressor was
turned off, the wear factor is used to determine which compressor to start next. As additional stages of compression are required, the processor control will add them. If a circuit is to be
stopped, the compressor with the lowest wear factor will be
The capacity control algorithm runs every 30 seconds. The
algorithm attempts to maintain the control point at the desired
set point. Each time it runs, the control reads the entering and
leaving temperatures. The control determines the rate at which
conditions are changing and calculates 2 variables based on
these conditions. Next, a capacity ratio is calculated using the
2 variables to determine whether or not to make any changes to
the current stages of capacity. This ratio value ranges from
–100 to +100%. If the next stage of capacity is a compressor,
the control starts (stops) a compressor when the ratio reaches
+100% (-100%). A delay of 90 seconds occurs after each capacity step change. Refer to Table 8.

Table 8 for compressor loading sequence.
2. When unit is equiped with digital scroll option, sequence A is always
used.

MINUTES LEFT FOR START — This value is displayed
only in the network display tables (using Service Tool,
ComfortVIEW™ or ComfortWORKS
®
software) and
represents the amount of time to elapse before the unit will start
its initialization routine. This value can be zero without the
machine running in many situations. This can include being
unoccupied, ENABLE/OFF/REMOTE CONTACT switch in
the OFF position, CCN not allowing unit to start, Demand
Limit in effect, no call for cooling due to no load, and alarm or
alert conditions present. If the machine should be running and
none of the above are true, a minimum off time (DELY, see
below) may be in effect. The machine should start normally
once the time limit has expired.
MINUTES OFF TIME (ConfigurationOPT2
DELY) — This user-configurable time period is used by
the control to determine how long unit operation is delayed
after power is applied/restored to the unit. Typically, this time
period is configured when multiple machines are located on a
single site. For example, this gives the user the ability to prevent all the units from restarting at once after a power failure.
A value of zero for this variable does not mean that the unit
should be running.
NOTE: If the unit has digital scroll or hot gas bypass, circuit A
is always lead.
LEAD/LAG DETERMINATION — This is a configurable
choice and is factory set to be automatic for all units. The value
can be changed to Circuit A or Circuit B leading as desired. Set
at automatic, the control will sum the current number of logged
circuit starts and one-quarter of the current operating hours for
each circuit. The circuit with the lowest sum is started first.
Changes to which circuit is the lead circuit and which is the lag
are also made when total machine capacity is at 100% or when
there is a change in the direction of capacity (increase or
decrease) and each circuit’s capacity is equal.
CAPACITY CONTROL OVERRIDES — The following overrides will modify the normal operation of the routine.
Deadband Multiplier
— The user configurable deadband mul-
tiplier (ConfigurationSLCTZ.GN) has a default value of
1.0. The range is from 1.0 to 4.0. When set to other than 1.0,
this factor is applied to the capacity Load/Unload Factor. The
larger this value is set, the longer the control will delay between
adding or removing stages of capacity.
First Stage Override
— If the current capacity stage is zero,
the control will modify the routine with a 1.2 factor on adding
the first stage to reduce cycling. This factor is also applied
when the control is attempting to remove the last stage of
capacity.
Slow Change Override
— This control prevents the capacity
stages from being changed when the supply temperature is

Ramp Loading
— The ramp loading control (Configuration
SLCTCRMP) limits the rate of change of supply temperature. If the unit is in a Cooling mode and configured for Ramp
Loading, the control makes 2 comparisons before deciding to
change stages of capacity. The control calculates a temperature
difference between the control point and supply temperature. If
the difference is greater than 4° F (2.2° C) and the rate of
change (°F or °C per minute) is more than the configured Cooling Ramp Loading value (CRMP), the control does not allow
any changes to the current stage of capacity.
Minimum Load Control
— If equipped, the minimum load
control valve is energized only when one compressor on the
circuit is running and the unit is unloading.
Low Saturated Suction Protection
— The control will try to
prevent shutting a circuit down due to low saturated suction
conditions by removing stages of capacity. See Alerts section.
Head Pressure Control — The main base board
(MBB) controls the condenser fans to maintain the lowest
condensing temperature possible, and thus the highest unit
efficiency. The MBB uses the saturated condensing temperature input from the discharge pressure transducer and outside
air temperature sensor to control the fans. If OAT is greater
than 70 F before a circuit is starting, then all condenser fan
stages will be energized. A fan stage is increased based on
SCT. When the highest SCT of both circuits is greater than fan
on set point, then an additional stage of fan will be added to the
current fan stage. Fan On Set Point (F. O N ) equals Head Set

Set Point is increased by Fan Stage Delta (10 F). A fan stage is
decreased when the SCTs of both circuits are less than fan off
set point for two minutes. Fan Off Set Point (F. O F F ) equals
Head Set Point OFF (–72 F). Table 9 shows the number of fan
stages, contactors energized and the fans that are on during the
fan stage. Unit sizes 025 to 060 have common fan control. Unit
sizes 070 to 100 have some fans that are common and some
that are controlled individually. Figure 30 shows the location
of each fan and compressor within the unit.
MOTORMASTER
tion, the first stage of fans is equipped with the Motormaster V
head pressure controller option or accessory. For units with
common fans, the control will control the Head Pressure Setpoint (–10 F) and the highest SCT to try to maintain it at 100 F.
Unit sizes 070 to 100 have one Motormaster V for each circuit
and the control tries to maintain SCT at 100 F for the circuit.
The controller is given an ON command with the first stage of
fan and adjusts fan speed.

power must be on.
The Service Test function should be used to verify proper
operation of condenser fan(s), compressors, minimum load
valve solenoid (if installed), liquid line solenoid valve (if
installed), and remote alarm relay. To use the Service Test
mode, the Enable/Off/Remote Contact switch must be in the
OFF position. Use the display keys and Service Test Mode and
Sub-Mode Directory table in Appendix A to enter the mode
and display TEST. Press twice so that OFF flashes.
Enter the password if required. Use either arrow key to change
the TEST value to the ON position and press . Place
the Enable/Off/Remote Contact switch in the ENABLE position. The Service Test mode is now enabled. Press
and the down key to enter the OUTS, COMPA or COMPB
sub-mode.
Test the condenser fans, liquid line solenoid and alarm relay by changing the item values from OFF to ON. These discrete outputs are then turned off if there is no keypad activity
for 10 minutes. When testing the digital output the display can
be changed from 1 to 15 by using either the up or down arrow;
the number represents the cycle rate out of a 15 second duty cycle that the output will be energized. If the cycle is set for 7, the
output will be energized 7 seconds out of every 15 seconds.
Test the compressor and minimum load valve solenoid (if installed) outputs in a similar manner. The minimum load valve
solenoids will be turned off if there is no keypad activity for
10 minutes. Compressors will stay on until they are turned off
by the operator. The Service Test mode will remain enabled for
as long as there is one or more compressors running. All safeties are monitored during this test and they will turn a compressor, circuit or the machine off if required. Any other mode or
sub-mode can be accessed, viewed, or changed during the
TEST mode. The STAT item (Run/StatusVIEW) will display "0" as long as the Service mode is enabled. The TEST
sub-mode value must be changed back to OFF before the unit
can be switched to Enable or Remote contact for normal
operation.
Operating Modes
RAMP LOAD LIMITED (MD05) — Ramp load (pulldown) limiting is in effect. In this mode, the rate at which supply fluid temperature is dropped is limited to a predetermined
value to prevent compressor overloading. See Cooling Ramp
Loading (ConfigurationSLCTCRMP). The pull-down
limit can be modified, if desired, to any rate from 0.2 to 2° F
(0.1 to 1° C) per minute.
TIMED OVERRIDE IN EFFECT (MD06) — Timed override is in effect. This is a 1 to 4 hour temporary override of the
programmed schedule, forcing unit to Occupied mode. Override can be implemented with unit under Local (Enable) or
CCN (Carrier Comfort Network
ter each use.
SLOW CHANGE OVERRIDE (MD09) — Slow change
override is in effect. The supply fluid temperature is close to
and moving towards the control point.
MINIMUM OFF TIME ACTIVE (MD10) — Unit is being
held off by Minutes Off Time (ConfigurationOPT2DELY).
TEMPERATURE RESET (MD14) — Temperature reset is
in effect. In this mode, unit is using temperature reset to adjust
supply fluid set point upward and is currently controlling to the
modified set point. The set point can be modified based on return fluid, outdoor-air-temperature, space temperature, or 4 to
20 mA signal.
DEMAND LIMITED (MD15) — Demand limit is in effect.
This indicates that the capacity of the unit is being limited by
®
) control. Override expires af-
demand limit control option. Because of this limitation, the unit
may not be able to produce the desired supply fluid temperature. Demand limit can be controlled by switch inputs or a 4 to
20 mA signal.
LOW TEMPERATURE COOLING (MD17) — Unit is in
Cooling mode and the rate of change of the supply fluid is negative and decreasing faster than -0.5° F per minute. Error between supply fluid and control point exceeds fixed amount.
Control will automatically unload the unit if necessary.
HIGH TEMPERATURE COOLING (MD18) — Unit is in
Cooling mode and the rate of change of the supply fluid is positive and increasing. Error between supply fluid and control
point exceeds fixed amount. Control will automatically load
the unit if necessary to better match the increasing load.
TIME GUARD ACTIVE (MDTG) — Compressor time
guard is active, preventing the compressor from starting.
HIGH SCT CIRCUIT A (MD21) — Unit is in a Cooling
mode and the saturated condensing temperature (SCT) is greater than the calculated maximum limit. No additional stages of
capacity will be added. Unit capacity may be reduced if SCT
continues to rise to avoid high-pressure switch trips by reducing condensing temperature.
HIGH SCT CIRCUIT B (MD22) — Unit is in a Cooling
mode and the saturated condensing temperature (SCT) is greater than the calculated maximum limit. No additional stages of
capacity will be added. Unit capacity may be reduced if SCT
continues to rise to avoid high-pressure switch trips by reducing condensing temperature.
MINIMUM COMP ON TIME (MD23) — Cooling load
may be satisfied, however control continues to operate compressor to ensure proper oil return. This may be an indication of
oversized application, low fluid flow rate or low loop volume.
LOW SOUND MODE (MD25) — Not applicable.
Operation of Machine Based on Control
Method —
the configuration of the control method
(ConfigurationOPT2CTRL). With the control method
set to 0, simply switching the Enable/Off/Remote Contact
switch to the Enable or Remote Contact position (external contacts closed) will put the unit in an occupied state. The control
mode (Operating ModesMODE) will be 1 (OFF LOCAL)
when the switch is Off and will be 5 (ON LOCAL) when in the
Enable position or Remote Contact position with external contacts closed.
Two other control methods are available for Machine On/
Off control:
OCCUPANCY SCHEDULE (CTRL=2) — The main base
board will use the operating schedules as defined under the
Time Clock mode in the scrolling marquee display. These
schedules are identical. The schedule number must be set to 1
for local schedule.
The schedule number can be set anywhere from 65 to 99
for operation under a CCN global schedule. The Enable/Off/
Remote Contact must be in the Enable or Remote Contact position. The control mode (Operating ModesMODE) will be 1
when the switch is Off. The control mode will be 3 when the
Enable/Off/Remote Contact switch input is On and the time of
day is during an unoccupied period. Similarly, the control
mode will be 7 when the time of day is during an occupied
period.
CCN SCHEDULE (CTRL=3) — An external CCN device
controls the On/Off state of the machine. This CCN device
forces the variable 'CHIL_S_S' between Start/Stop to control
the unit. The control mode (Operating ModesMODE) will
be 1 when the switch is Off. The control mode will be 2 when
the Enable/Off/Remote Contact switch input is On and the
Machine On/Off control is determined by
28

CHIL_S_S variable is 'Stop.' Similarly, the control mode will
CV SET POINT ADJUSTMENT — If the unit is configured
for control type SPT MULTI (C.TYP =5) and the Space Temperature Offset Sensor is enabled. (SP.O.S) set to enable
[ConfigurationOPT1]. Space temperature offset corresponds to a slider on a T56 sensor that allows the occupant to
adjust the space temperature by a configured range during an
occupied period. The space temperature offset range (SP.O.R)
value is either added or subtracted from the space temperature
cool set point. Example SPS.P equals 72 F and SP.O.R equals
5 then the cooling set point can be adjusted from 68 to 77 F by
adjusting the T56 slider.

VAV SUPPLY AIR TEMPERATURE RESET — The control system is capable of changing the controlling set point
based on several different methods. The methods are return
temperature, space temperature (SPT), outside air temperature
(OAT) and from an externally powered 4 to 20 mA signal. Return air is a measure of the building load. The return temperature reset is in effect an average building load reset method. An
accessory sensor must be used for SPT reset; either a T55, T56,
or T59 sensor can be used. The energy management module
(EMM) must be used for temperature reset using a 4 to 20 mA
signal. To use 4 to 20 mA reset, one variable must be configured MA.DG, which is the amount of reset desired with a
20 mA signal. The control will interpolate between 0 degrees
reset at 4 mA and the value entered for MA.DG at 20 mA. See
Table 10 for an example of 4 to 20 mA reset.

SPTOSENS
be set to the temperature difference where the maximum reset
should occur. The variable RM.DG
should be set to the
maximum amount of reset desired. To verify that reset is functioning correctly proceed to Run Status mode, sub-mode
VIEW, and subtract the active set point (SETP) from the con-
trol point (CTPT) to determine the degrees reset. Under normal
operation, the unit will maintain a constant leaving temperature
approximately equal to the cooling set point. As the unit load
varies, the return air temperature will change in proportion to
the load. Usually the unit size and supply air temperature set
point are selected based on a full-load condition. At part load,
the air temperature set point may be colder than required. If the
leaving air temperature was allowed to increase at part load, the
efficiency of the machine would increase.
Return temperature reset allows for the leaving temperature
set point to be reset upward as a function of the return air temperature or, in effect, the building load.
Figures 31 and 32 are examples of outdoor air and space
temperature reset.
CAUTION
Care should be taken when interfacing with other control
systems due to possible power supply differences; full
wave bridge versus half wave rectification. Connection of
control devices with different power supplies may result in
permanent equipment damage. ComfortLink™ controls
incorporate power supplies with half wave rectification. A
signal isolation device should be utilized if the signal generator incorporates a full wave bridge rectifier.
To use Outdoor Air or Space Temperature reset, four variables must be configured. In the Configuration mode under the
sub-mode RSET, items CRST, RM.NO, RM.F and RT.DG
must be properly set. See Table 11. The outdoor air reset example provides 0° F (0° C) reset to the active set point at 85 F
(29.4 C) outdoor-air temperature and 6 F (3.3 C) reset at 55 F
(12.8 C) outdoor-air temperature. See Fig 31. The space temperature reset example provides 0° F (0° C) reset to the active
set point at 72 F (22.2 C) space temperature and 6 F (3.3 C) reset at 68 F (20.0 C) space temperature. See Fig 32. The variable
CRST should be configured for the type of reset desired. The
variable RM.NO should be set to the temperature that no reset
should occur. The variable RM.F should be set to the tempera-
ture that maximum reset is to occur. The variable RM.DG
should be set to the maximum amount of reset desired.
To use Return reset, four variables must be configured. In
the Configuration mode under the sub-mode RSET, itemsCRST, RT.NO, RT.F and RT.DG must be properly set. See
Table 12.
This example provides 5 F (2.8 C) active set point reset at
2 F (1.1 C) T and 0° F (0° C) reset at 10 F (5.6 C) T. The
variable RT.NO should be set to the air temperature difference
( T) where no reset should occur. The variable RT.F should

Demand Limit — Demand Limit is a feature that allows
ENTER
ENTER
the unit capacity to be limited during periods of peak energy
usage. There are 3 types of demand limiting that can be
configured. The first type is through 2-stage switch control,
which will reduce the maximum capacity to 2 user-configurable percentages. The second type is by 4 to 20 mA signal input which will reduce the maximum capacity linearly between
100% at a 4 mA input signal (no reduction) down to the userconfigurable level at a 20 mA input signal. The third type uses
the CCN loadshed module and has the ability to limit the current operating capacity to maximum and further reduce the capacity if required.
NOTE: The 2-stage switch control and 4 to 20 mA input signal
types of demand limiting require the energy management
module (EMM).
To use Demand Limit, select the type of demand limiting to
use. Then configure the Demand Limit set points based on the
type selected.
DEMAND LIMIT (2-Stage Switch Controlled) — To configure Demand Limit for 2-stage switch control, set the Demand
Limit Select (ConfigurationRSETDMDC) to 1. Then
configure the 2 Demand Limit Switch points
(ConfigurationRSETDLS1 and DLS2) to the desired capacity limit. See Table 13. Capacity steps are controlled by 2 relay switch inputs field wired to low voltage terminal (LVT) strip
terminal 3-6. Refer to the unit wiring diagram for these connections.
For Demand Limit by 2-stage switch control, closing the
first stage demand limit contact will put the unit on the first demand limit level. The unit will not exceed the percentage of capacity entered as Demand Limit Switch 1 set point. Closing
contacts on the second demand limit switch prevents the unit

from exceeding the capacity entered as Demand Limit Switch
2 set point. The demand limit stage that is set to the lowest
demand takes priority if both demand limit inputs are closed. If
the demand limit percentage does not match unit staging, the
unit will limit capacity to the closest capacity stage.
To disable demand limit, configure the DMDC to 0. See
Table 13.
EXTERNALLY POWERED DEMAND LIMIT (4 to
20 mA Controlled) — To configure Demand Limit for 4 to
20 mA control, set the Demand Limit Select (Configura-tionRSETDMDC) to 2. Then configure the Demand
Limit at 20 mA (ConfigurationRSETDM20) to the
maximum loadshed value desired. Connect the output from an
externally powered 4 to 20 mA signal to terminal block LVT
strip terminals 7 and 8. Refer to the unit wiring diagram for
these connections to the optional/accessory energy management module and terminal block. The control will reduce allowable capacity to this level for the 20 mA signal. See Table
13 and Fig. 33.
CAUTION
Care should be taken when interfacing with other manufacturer’s control systems, due to possible power supply differences, full wave bridge versus half wave rectification.
The two different power supplies cannot be mixed. Com-fortLink™ controls use half wave rectification. A signal
isolation device should be utilized if a full wave bridge
signal generating device is used. Failure to comply could
result in possible equipment damage.

Fig. 33 — 4 to 20 mA Demand Limiting — Demand Limit Select (DMDC = 2)
figure Demand Limit for CCN Loadshed control, set the Demand Limit Select (ConfigurationRSETDMDC) to 3.
Then configure the Loadshed Group Number (Configura-
tionRSETSHNM), Loadshed Demand Delta (ConfigurationRSETSHDL), and Maximum Loadshed Time
(ConfigurationRSETSHTM). See Table 13.
The Loadshed Group number is established by the CCN
system designer. The ComfortLink controls will respond to a
Redline command from the Loadshed control. When the Redline command is received, the current stage of capacity is set to
the maximum stages available. Should the loadshed control
send a Loadshed command, the ComfortLink controls will reduce the current stages by the value entered for Loadshed Demand delta. The maximum loadshed time is the maximum
length of time that a loadshed condition is allowed to exist. The
control will disable the Redline/Loadshed command if no Cancel command has been received within the configured maximum loadshed time limit.
Cooling Set Point (4 to 20 mA) — A field supplied
and generated, externally powered 4 to 20 mA signal can be
used to provide the leaving temperature set point. The energy
management module (EMM) must be used for cooling set
point control using a 4 to 20 mA signal. To use the 4 to 20 mA
set point, the unit type must be configured for control type VAV
set point (ConfigurationOPT2C.TYP = 9). Once configured, the control will translate the input linearly with 4 mA
equal to 40 F set point and 20 mA equal to 80 F set point. Connect the signal to LVT strip terminal 10,8 (+,-). See Table 14
for instructions to enable the function. Figure 34 shows how
the 4 to 20 mA signal is linearly calculated.
Digital Scroll Option — The 38AP units have a
factory-installed option for a digital scroll compressor which
provides additional stages of unloading for the unit. The digital
Table 14 — Configuration VAV 4 to 20 mA Set Point
compressor is always installed in the A1 compressor location.
When a digital compressor is installed, a digital unloader solenoid (DUS) is used on the digital compressor.
DIGITAL SCROLL OPERATION — A digital scroll operates in two stages - the "loaded state" when the solenoid valve
is normally closed and the "unloaded state" when the solenoid
valve is open. During the loaded state, the compressor operates
like a standard scroll and delivers full capacity and mass flow.
However, during the unloaded state, there is no capacity
and no mass flow through the compressor. The capacity of the
system is varied by varying the time the compressor operates
in an unloaded and loaded state during a 15-second period. If
the DUS is energized for 7.5 seconds, the compressor will be
operating at 50% capacity. If the DUS is energized for 11 seconds, the compressor will be operating at approximately 25%
of its capacity. Capacity is the time averaged summation of
loaded and unloaded states, and its range is continuous from
10% to 100%. Regardless of capacity, the compressor always
rotates with constant speed. As the compressor transitions from
a loaded to unloaded state, the discharge and suction pressures
will fluctuate and the compressor sound will change.
The ComfortLink controller controls and integrates the operation of the DUS into the compressor staging routine to
maintain temperature control. When a digital compressor is installed, an additional discharge gas thermistor (DTT) is installed along with the AUX board for control of the DUS.
DIGITAL COMPRESSOR CONFIGURATION — When a
digital compressor is installed, the configuration parameter
ConfigurationUnitA1.TY is configured to YES. There is
also a maximum unload time configuration, Configuration
UnitMAX.T, that is set to 7 seconds, which indicates the
maximum unloading for the digital compressor is 50%. This is
done to optimize efficiency of the system.

PRE-START-UP
IMPORTANT: Before beginning Pre-Start-Up or Start-Up,
review Start-Up Checklist at the back of this publication.
The checklist assures proper start-up of a unit and provides
a record of unit condition, application requirements, system
information, and operation at initial start-up.
Do not attempt to start the air-conditioning system until the
following checks have been completed.
System Check
1. Check all system components, including the air-handling
equipment. Consult manufacturer's instructions. If the
unit has field-installed accessories, be sure all are properly installed and wired correctly. Refer to unit wiring
diagrams.
2. Open liquid line and suction line service valves.
3. Check tightness of all electrical connections.
4. Oil should be visible in the compressor sight glasses. An
acceptable oil level in the compressor is from
sight glass. Adjust the oil level as required. No oil should
be removed unless the crankcase heater has been energized for at least 24 hours. See Add Oil section on
page 47, for Carrier-approved oils.
5. Electrical power source must agree with unit nameplate.
6. Crankcase heaters must be firmly attached to compressors, and must be on for 24 hours prior to start-up.
7. Fan motors are 3-phase. Check rotation of fans during
first start-up check.
EVACUATION AND DEHYDRATION — Because the
38AP systems use polyolester (POE) oil, which can absorb
moisture, it is important to minimize the amount of time that
the system interior is left exposed to the atmosphere. Minimizing the exposure time of the oil to the atmosphere will minimize the amount of moisture that needs to be removed during
evacuation.
Once all of the piping connections are complete, leak test
the unit and then pull a deep dehydration vacuum. Connect the
vacuum pump to the charging valve in the suction line and to
the liquid line service valve. For best results, it is recommended
that a vacuum of at least 500 microns (0.5 mm Hg) be obtained. Afterwards, to ensure that no moisture is present in the
system, perform a standing vacuum-rise test.
1
/8 to 3/8 of
With the unit in deep vacuum (500 microns or less), isolate
the vacuum pump from the system. Observe the rate-of-rise of
the vacuum in the system. If the vacuum rises by more than
50 microns in a 30-minute time period, then continue the dehydration process. Maintain a vacuum on the system until the
standing vacuum requirement is met. This will ensure a dry
system.
By following these evacuation and dehydration procedures,
the amount of moisture present in the system will be minimized. It is required that liquid line filter driers be installed
between the condenser(s) and the expansion devices to capture
any foreign debris and provide additional moisture removal
capacity.
START-UP
IMPORTANT: Before beginning Pre-Start-Up or Start-Up,
review Start-Up Checklist at the back of this publication.
The checklist assures proper start-up of a unit and provides
a record of unit condition, application requirements, system
information, and operation at initial start-up.
CAUTION
Crankcase heaters on all units are wired into the control circuit, so they are always operable as long as the main power
supply disconnect is on (closed), even if any safety device
is open. Compressor heaters must be on for 24 hours prior
to the start-up of any compressor. Equipment damage
could result if heaters are not energized for at least 24 hours
prior to compressor start-up.
Compressor crankcase heaters must be on for 24 hours before start-up. To energize the crankcase heaters, close the field
disconnect and turn on the fan circuit breakers. Leave the compressor circuit breakers off/open. The crankcase heaters are
now energized.
Preliminary Charge — Refer to GTAC II (General
Training Air Conditioning), Module 5, Charging, Recovery,
Recycling, and Reclamation for charging procedures. Using
the liquid charging method and charging by weight procedure,
charge each circuit with the amount of Puron
(R-410A) listed in Table 15.
1. Preliminary charge is based on 25 ft (7.6 m) of interconnecting liquid line
piping between indoor and outdoor units.
2. For liquid line piping longer than 25 ft (7.6 m), use the following
information:
1
/2 in. (12.7 mm) liquid line — 0.6 lb per 10 linear ft (0.27 kg per 3 m)
5
/8 in. (15.9 mm) liquid line — 1.0 lb per 10 linear ft (0.45 kg per 3 m)
7
/8 in. (22.2 mm) liquid line — 2.0 lb per 10 linear ft (0.91 kg per 3 m)
1
1
/8 in. (28.6 mm) liquid line — 3.5 lb per 10 linear ft (1.59 kg per 3 m)
Adjust Refrigerant Charge
CAUTION
Never charge liquid into the low pressure side of system.
Do not overcharge. During charging or removal of refrigeration, be sure indoor fan system is operating. Failure
to comply could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
CAUTION
Charging procedures for MCHX (microchannel heat
exchanger) units require very accurate measurement techniques. Charge should be added in small increments. Using
cooling charging charts provided, add or remove refrigerant until conditions of the chart are met. As conditions get
close to the point on the chart, add or remove charge in
1
/4 lb increments until complete. Ensure that all fans are on
and all compressors are running when using charging
charts. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.
Due to the compact design of microchannel heat exchangers, refrigerant charge is reduced significantly. As a result,
charging procedures for MCHX units require very accurate
measurement techniques. Charge should be added in small
increments. Using cooling charging charts provided, add or
remove refrigerant until conditions of the chart are met. As
conditions get close to the point on the chart, add or remove

being serviced operating at full capacity, adjust the refrigerant
charge in accordance with the unit charging charts in Fig. 35-
56. Charge vapor into compressor low-side service port located
on the suction service valve. Measure pressure at the liquid line
service valve, making sure a Schrader depressor is used. Also,
measure liquid line temperature as close to the liquid service
valve as possible. Add charge until the pressure and temperature conditions of the charging chart curve are met. If liquid
pressure and temperature point fall above curve, add charge. If
liquid pressure and temperature point fall below curve, reduce
the charge until the conditions match the curve.
See Fig. 57 and 58. Ensure all fans and compressors on the circuit being serviced are operating. Also ensure maximum allowable liquid lift has not been exceeded. If the sight glass is
cloudy, a restriction could exist in the liquid line. Check for a
plugged filter drier or partially open solenoid valve. Replace or
repair, as needed.

refrigerant charge, allow each circuit to run fully loaded for
20 minutes. Stop the compressors and check the oil level. Oil
level should be
1
/8 to 3/8 up on the sight glass.
IMPORTANT: Oil level should only be checked when the
compressors are off.
Add oil only if necessary to bring the oil into view in the
sight glass. If oil is added, run the circuit for an additional
10 minutes, then stop and check oil level. If the level remains
low, check the piping system for proper design for oil return;
also, check the system for leaks. If checking the oil level with
unit running in part load, let unit run one hour, then run at full
load for 10 minutes. If oil does not return to acceptable sight
glass levels, check for correct suction piping and line sizing.
Final Checks — Ensure all safety controls are operating,
control panel covers are on, and the service panels are in place.
Oil Charge
CAUTION
The compressor in a Puron® refigerant (R-410A) system
uses a polyol ester (POE) oil. This is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water readily. POE oils can
absorb 15 times as much water as other oils designed for
HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Take all necessary precautions to avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere. Failure
to do so could result in possible equipment damage.
Puron systems use a polyol ester (POE) oil. Use only Carrier approved compressor oil. Oil should be visible in compressor oil sight glass. An acceptable oil level is from
sight glass. All compressors must be off when checking oil level. Recommended oil level adjustment method is as follows:
ADD OIL — Recover charge from the outdoor section of the
unit and isolate the condensing unit using the liquid and suction
service valves. Add oil to suction line Schrader valve on tandem compressors sets and the compressor Schrader on the trio
and single compressor circuits. (See Fig. 59 and 60.) When oil
can be seen at the bottom of the sight glass, add oil in 5 oz increments which is approximately

The maximum voltage deviation is the largest difference
between a voltage measurement across 2 legs and the average
across all 3 legs.
Example: Supply voltage is 240-3-60.

2. Determine maximum deviation from average voltage:
(AB) 243 – 239 = 4 v
(BC) 239 – 236 = 3 v
(AC) 239 – 238 = 1 v
Maximum deviation is 4 v.
3. Determine percent voltage imbalance:

This voltage imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the
maximum allowable of 2%.
IMPORTANT: If the supply voltage phase imbalance is
more than 2%, contact your local electric utility company
immediately. Do not operate unit until imbalance condition
is corrected.
Control Circuit Power
— Power for the control circuit is
supplied from the main incoming power through a factoryinstalled control power transformer (TRAN1) for all models.
Field wiring connections are made to LVT terminal board.
Operation Sequence — During unit off cycle, if power
is maintained to the unit and the EMERGENCY ON/OFF
switch is left in the OFF position, the compressor crankcase
heaters will be energized.
The unit is started by putting the ENABLE/OFF/REMOTE
CONTACT switch in the ENABLE or REMOTE CONTACT
position. When the unit receives a call to run (either from the
internal control, or CCN network command or remote contact
closure), the unit stages up in capacity to maintain either supply
air temperature or space temperature. The first compressor

or selected based on compressor run hours and starts depending on field configuration. The unit control will override this
selection under certain starting conditions to properly maintain
oil return to the compressors. The MBB controls fan stages to
maintain the head pressure set point and will automatically adjust unit capacity as required to keep compressors from operating outside of the specified envelope. There are no pumpout or
pumpdown sequences on these units.

For all units, if temperature reset is used, the unit controls to
a higher leaving temperature as the building load reduces. If
demand limit is used, the unit may temporarily be unable to
maintain the desired leaving-air temperature because of imposed power limitations. Loading sequence for compressors is
shown in Table 8.
SERVICE
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: Turn off all power to unit
before servicing. The ENABLE/OFF/REMOTE CONTACT switch on control panel does not shut off control
power; use field disconnect. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
Electronic Components
CONTROL COMPONENTS — Unit uses an advanced electronic control system that normally does not require service.
For details on controls refer to Operating Data section.
Access to the compressors is through latched panels from
beneath the control box on the unit sizes 025-060 and on each
end of the unit on sizes 070-100. The front door(s) provide
access to the compressor(s) and all components of the
refrigeration system. For unit sizes 025-030, access to the
controls is through the upper latched outer door above the compressor access door. Similarly, the upper center latched door on
sizes 040-060 gives access to the controls. Inner panels are secured in place and should not be removed unless all power to
the unit is off.
Thermistors — Electronic control uses up to 7 thermistors
to sense temperatures used to control operation of the unit. The
standard unit comes with return gas temperature (RGT) and
outside air temperature (OAT) thermistors. These thermistors
are 5 k thermistors, identical in their temperature and voltage
drop performance. Resistance at various temperatures is listed
in Tables 17-21.
DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE THERMISTOR
(DTT) — This sensor is only used on units with a digital
compressor. The sensor is mounted on the discharge line close
to the discharge of the digital compressor. It attaches to the discharge line using a spring clip and protects the system from
high discharge gas temperature when the digital compressor is
used. This sensor is a 86 k thermistor connected to the AUX
board.
RETURN GAS THERMISTORS (RGTA,B) — The
RGTA,B thermistors are located in the suction line of the respective circuits and are used to monitor superheat entering the
compressor and generate low superheat alarms.
OUTSIDE AIR THERMISTOR (OAT) — The OAT is located inside the base rail on unit sizes 025-060 and on the back
of the control box on sizes 070-100. It is used to control fan cycling on the unit.
The remaining thermistors are installed in either the space,
ductwork or air handler. These include the space temperature
(SPT), supply air temperature (SAT) and return air temperature
(RAT/EAT) thermistors.
SPACE TEMPERATURE THERMISTOR (SPT) — This
sensor is a field-supplied accessory and is part of the T55 or
T56 sensor package that can be used to control space temperature on constant volume (CV) units. The sensor is connected to
the LVT. The SPT has a 10 k input channel and has a different set of temperature vs. resistance and voltage drop performance than the 5 k thermistors.
SUPPLY AIR THERMISTOR (SAT) — This sensor is field
supplied and is used to measure the supply air temperature of
the unit. The SAT thermistor is configurable to be either a 5 k
or 10 k thermistor. Care should be taken to ensure the configuration matches the type of thermistor which is installed. This
is configured under the Configuration menu OPT1, SAT.T and
by selecting 0 for 5 k or 1 for 10 k or 2 for none. The proper
temperature vs. resistance and voltage drop performance tables
should be followed based on the configuration.
RETURN AIR OR EVAPORATOR AIR THERMISTOR
(RAT) — This sensor is field supplied and should be located
directly upstream of the evaporator. The RAT is used to measure the evaporator entering or return air temperature of the
unit. The RAT thermistor is configurable to be either a 5 k
or 10 k thermistor. Care should be taken to ensure the
configuration matches the type of thermistor which is installed.
This is configured under the Configuration menu OPT1,
RAT.T and by selecting 0 for 5 k or 1 for 10 k or 2 for none.
The proper temperature vs. resistance and voltage drop performance tables should be followed based on configuration.
See Table 3 for thermistor pin connection points.
THERMISTOR/TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK — A
high quality digital volt-ohmmeter is required to perform this
check.
1. Connect the digital voltmeter across the appropriate themistor terminals at the J8 terminal strip on the main base
board (see Fig. 61).
2. Using the voltage reading obtained, read the sensor temperature from Tables 17-21.
3. To check thermistor accuracy, measure temperature at
probe location with an accurate thermocouple-type temperature measuring instrument. Insulate thermocouple to
avoid ambient temperatures from influencing reading.
Temperature measured by thermocouple and temperature
determined from thermistor voltage reading should be
close, ± 5° F (3° C) if care was taken in applying thermocouple and taking readings.
If a more accurate check is required, unit must be shut down
and thermistor removed and checked at a known temperature
(freezing point or boiling point of water) using either voltage
drop measured across thermistor at the J8 terminal, by determining the resistance with unit shut down and thermistor
disconnected from J8. Compare the values determined with the
value read by the control in the Temperatures mode using the
scrolling marquee display.
REPLACING RETURN GAS THERMISTORS
(RGTA,B) — Add a small amount of thermal conductive
grease to the thermistor well and end of probe. Tighten the retaining nut

transducers are different part numbers and can be distinguished
by the color of the transducer body, suction (yellow) and discharge (red). Figures 59 and 60 shows typical location of pressure transducers on each circuit. No pressure transducer calibration is required. The transducers operate on a 5 vdc supply,
which is generated by the main base board (MBB). See Fig. 61
for transducer connections to the J8 connector on the MBB.
IMPORTANT: Check for proper fan rotation (clockwise
when viewed from above). If necessary, switch any
2 power leads to reverse fan rotation.
LOW SOUND FAN — A shroud and a wire guard provide
protection from the rotating fan. The exposed end of the fan
motor shaft is protected from weather by grease. If fan motor
must be removed for service or replacement, be sure to regrease fan shaft and reinstall fan guard. The fan motor has a
step in the motor shaft. For proper performance, fan should be
positioned such that it is securely seated on this step. Tighten
the bolt to 15 ± 1 ft-lb (20 ± 1.3 N·m).
IMPORTANT: Check for proper fan rotation (counterclockwise when viewed from above). If necessary, switch
any 2 power leads to reverse fan rotation.
TROUBLESHOOTING — If a transducer is suspected of being faulty, first check supply voltage to the transducer. Supply
voltage should be 5 vdc ± 0.2 v. If supply voltage is correct,
compare pressure reading displayed on the scrolling marquee
display module against pressure shown on a calibrated pressure
gauge. Pressure readings should be within ± 15 psig. If the
two readings are not reasonably close, replace the pressure
transducer.
Condenser Fans — Each fan is supported by a formed
wire mount bolted to a fan deck and covered with a wire guard.
METAL FANS — The exposed end of fan motor shaft is pro-
tected from weather by grease and a rubber boot. If fan motor
must be removed for service or replacement, be sure to regrease fan shaft and reinstall fan guard. For proper performance, fan web should be 0.32 in. (8 mm) below top of orifice
on the fan deck to top of the fan hub. (See Fig. 62.) Tighten set
screws to 15 ± 1 ft-lb (20 ± 1.3 N-m). Figure 62 shows the
proper position of mounted fan.
Motormaster® V Controller — The optional or acces-
sory Motormaster V controller uses an input signal from the
AUX board. See Fig. 63. The controller is factory configured
and requires no field programming. If a situation arises where
the drive does not function properly, the information provided
below and in Table 22 can be used to troubleshoot the drive.
WARNING
Hazard of electrical shock! Wait three minutes after disconnecting incoming power before servicing drive. Capacitors
retain charge after power is removed. Drive assembly
includes externally mounted current limiting resistors. Use
extreme caution when servicing the drive. Failure to comply could result in possible personal injury.
WARNING
When configured as shown below, this equipment is
designed to start when it receives line power. Ensure that
all personnel are clear of fans and guards are installed
before applying power. Failure to comply could result in
possible personal injury.
CAUTION
If input power has not been applied to the drive for a period
of time exceeding three years (due to storage, etc.), the
electrolytic DC bus capacitors within the drive can change
internally, resulting in excessive leakage current. This can
result in premature failure of the capacitors if the drive is
operated after such a long period of inactivity or storage. In
order to reform the capacitors and prepare the drive for
operation after a long period of inactivity, apply input
power to the drive for 8 hours prior to actually operating
the motor. Before attempting to operate the drive, motor,
and driven equipment, be sure all procedures pertaining to
installation and wiring have been properly followed. Failure to comply could result in equipment damage.
54
Page 55
CAUTION
DO NOT connect incoming AC power to output terminals
T1, T2, and T3! Severe damage to the drive will result. Do
not continuously cycle input power to the drive more than
once every two minutes. Damage to the drive will result.
GENERAL OPERATION — The speed varies in proportion
to a 4 to 20 mA signal produced by the ComfortLink™ controls. The MMV output speed is displayed in Hz.
The ComfortLink controls must be configured for MMV
operation in order for it to operate. This is configured under the
Configuration menu M.MASTMMR.S and selecting
“YES”. This configuration menu also contains the gains and
minimum speed for the motormaster control logic.
CONFIGURATION — The MMV is configured for 1 of 12
operation modes based on the inputs to the control terminal
block. The 38AP units use operating modes 5-8. In these configurations, the MMV follows a 4 to 20 mA speed reference
signal present on terminals 25 (+) and 2 (-). One additional
jumper is required to configure the drive for 50/60 Hz operation and input voltage. See Table 23 for proper inputs. Once the
drive is powered, it will change to the mode selected according
to the inputs. See Fig. 64.
DRIVE PROGRAMMING
CAUTION
It is strongly recommended that the user NOT change any
programming without consulting Carrier service personnel.
Unit damage may occur from improper programming.
To enter password and change program values:
1. Press Mode.
2. Upper right decimal point blinks.
3. Display reads “00”. To enter the PROGRAM mode to access the parameters, press the Mode button. This will ac-
tivate the PASSWORD prompt (if the password has not
been disabled). The display will read “00” and the upper
right-hand decimal point will be blinking. (See Fig. 63.)
4. Use the and buttons to scroll to the password
value (the factory default password is “111”) and press
the Mode button. Once the correct password value is
entered, the display will read “P01”, which indicates that
the PROGRAM mode has been accessed at the beginning
of the parameter menu (P01 is the first parameter).
NOTE: If the display flashes “Er”, the password was incorrect,
and the process to enter the password must be repeated.
5. Press Mode to display present parameter number.

Pressing the Mode will store the new setting and also exit
the PROGRAM mode. To change another parameter, press the
Mode key again to re-enter the PROGRAM mode (the parameter menu will be accessed at the parameter that was last
viewed or changed before exiting). If the Mode key is pressed
within two minutes of exiting the PROGRAM mode, the password is not required to access the parameters. After two minutes, the password must be entered in order to access the parameters again.
To change password: first enter the current password then
change parameter P44 to the desired password.
To disable automatic control mode and enter manual speed
control mode:
1. Change P05 to ‘01- keypad’.
2. Push UP and DOWN arrow key to set manual speed.
3. Set P05 to ‘04 - 4-20mA control’ to restore 4 to 20 mA
control.
EPM CHIP — The drive uses a electronic programming module (EPM) chip to store the program parameters. This is an
EEPROM memory chip and is accessible from the front of the
VFD. It should not be removed with power applied to the
VFD.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Complete Unit Stoppage and Restart —
ble causes for unit stoppage and reset methods are shown below. (See Table 26 also.) Refer to Fig. 1-3 and 8-17 for component arrangement and control wiring diagrams.
GENERAL POWER FAILURE — After power is restored,
restart is automatic through normal MBB start-up.
UNIT ENABLE-OFF-REMOTE CONTACT SWITCH IS
OFF — When the switch is OFF, the unit will stop immediately. Place the switch in the ENABLE position for local switch
control or in the REMOTE CONTACT position for control
through remote contact closure.
FAN STATUS INPUT OPEN — After the problem causing
the fan status input to be open has been corrected, reset is automatic by closing the fan status input.
OPEN 24-V CONTROL CIRCUIT BREAKER(S) — Determine the cause of the failure and correct. Reset circuit breaker(s). Restart is automatic after MBB start-up cycle is
complete.
COOLING LOAD SATISFIED — Unit shuts down when
cooling load has been satisfied. Unit restarts when required to
satisfy set point.
THERMISTOR FAILURE — If a thermistor fails in either an
open or shorted condition, the unit will be shut down. Replace
SAT or RAT as required. Unit restarts automatically, but must
be reset manually by resetting the alarm with the scrolling marquee as shown in Table 27.
Possi-
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not apply any chemical cleaners to MCHX condenser
coils. These cleaners can accelerate corrosion and damage
the coil.
Routine cleaning of coil surfaces is essential to maintain
proper operation of the unit. Elimination of contamination and
removal of harmful residues will greatly increase the life of the
coil and extend the life of the unit. The following steps should
be taken to clean MCHX condenser coils:
1. Remove any foreign objects or debris attached to the
coreface or trapped within the mounting frame and
brackets.
2. Put on personal protective equipment including safetyglasses and/or face shield, waterproof clothing and
gloves. It is recommended to use full coverage clothing.
3. Start high pressure water sprayer and purge any soap or
industrial cleaners from sprayer before cleaning condenser coils. Only clean, potable water is authorized for cleaning condenser coils.
4. Clean condenser face by spraying the core steady and
uniformly from top to bottom while directing the spray
straight toward the core. Do not exceed 900 psig or 30 degree angle. The nozzle must be at least 12 in. from the
core face. Reduce pressure and use caution to prevent
damage to air centers.
CAUTION
Excessive water pressure will fracture the braze between
air centers and refrigerant tubes.
If unit stoppage occurs more than once as a result of any of
the safety devices listed, determine and correct cause
before attempting another restart.
COMPRESSOR SAFETIES — The 38AP units with Com-fortLink™ controls include a compressor protection board that
protects the operation of each of the compressors. Each board
senses the presence or absence of current to each compressor.
If there is a command for a compressor to run and there is
no current, then one of the following safeties or conditions
have turned the compressor off:
Compressor Overcurrent
— All compressors have internal
line breaks or a motor protection device located in the compressor electrical box.
Compressor Short Circuit
— There will not be current if the
compressor circuit breaker that provides short circuit protection
has tripped.
Compressor Motor Over Temperature
— The internal line-
break or over temperature switch has opened.
High-Pressure Switch Trip
— The high pressure switch has
opened. Below are the factory settings for the fixed high pressure switch.

discharge temperature protection that unloads the scroll compressor when the internal temperature reaches approximately
300 F. At this temperature, an internal bi-metal disk valve
opens and causes the scroll elements to separate, which stops
compression. Suction and discharge pressures balance while
the motor continues to run. The longer the compressor runs unloaded, the longer it must cool before the bi-metal disk resets.
See Fig. 66 for approximate reset times.
To manually reset ASTP, the compressor should be stopped
and allowed to cool. If the compressor is not stopped, the motor
will run until the motor protector trips, which occurs up to
90 minutes later. Advanced scroll temperature protection will
reset automatically before the motor protector resets, which
may take up to 2 hours.
Compressor Time Guards
— For compressors, the control
will use a Compressor Minimum OFF Time of 2 minutes or a
Compressor Minimum ON Time of 3 minutes.
High Discharge Gas Temperature Protection
equipped with digital compressors have an additional thermistor located on the discharge line, If discharge temperature exceeds 265 F (129.4 C), the digital compressor will be shut off.
Alarms will also occur if the current sensor board malfunctions or is not properly connected to its assigned digital input. If
the compressor is commanded OFF and the current sensor
reads ON, an alert is generated. This will indicate that a compressor contactor has failed closed. In this case, a special mode,
Compressor Stuck on Control, will be enabled and all other
compressors will be turned off. An alarm will then be enabled
to indicate that service is required. Outdoor fans will continue
to operate. The first outdoor fan stage is turned on immediately.
The other stages of fan will be turned on as required by SCT.
— Units
Low Saturated Suction
— Several conditions can lead to low
saturated suction alarms. The controls have several override
modes built in which will attempt to keep the unit from
shutting down. Low airflow, low refrigerant charge and
plugged filter driers are the main causes for this condition. To
avoid permanent damage, do NOT repeatedly reset these alert
and/or alarm conditions without identifying and correcting the
cause(s).
Alarms and Alerts — These are warnings of abnormal
or fault conditions, and may cause either one circuit or the
whole unit to shut down. They are assigned code numbers as
described in Table 26.
Automatic alarms will reset without operator intervention if
the condition corrects itself. The following method must be
used to reset manual alarms (refer to Table 27):
Before resetting any alarm, first determine the cause of the
alarm and correct it. After determining and correcting the cause
of the alarm, enter the Alarm mode indicated by the LED on
the side of the scrolling marquee display. Press and
until the sub-menu item RCRN “RESET ALL CURRENT
ALARMS” is displayed. Press . The control will
prompt the user for a password, by displaying PASS and
WORD. Press to display the default password, 1111.
Press for each character. If the password has been
changed, use the arrow keys to change each individual character. Toggle the display to “YES” and press . The
alarms will be reset.
DIAGNOSTIC ALERT CODES AND POSSIBLE
CAUSES
T048 (Circuit A Compressor Availability Alert)
T049 (Circuit B Compressor Availability Alert) — Alert
codes 048 and 049 are for circuits A and B respectively. These
alerts occur when two compressors are unavailable to run on a
3 compressor circuit. This alert can only occur on single circuit
unit sizes 040-060 and three compressor circuit unit sizes 70-
100. The control ensures proper oil return by insuring a circuit
does not operate with one compressor for longer than one hour
of cumulative run time.
COMPRESSOR FAILURE ALERTS
T051, T052, T053 (Circuit A Compresser Failures)
T055, T056, T057 (Circuit B Compressor Failures) — Alert
codes 051, 052, 053, 55, 56 and 057 are for compressors A1,
A2, A3, B1, B2, and B3 respectively. These alerts occur when
the current sensor (CS) does not detect compressor current during compressor operation. When this occurs, the control turns
off the compressor.
If the current sensor board reads OFF while the compressor
relay has been commanded ON, an alert is generated.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Compressor Overload
load protector is open or the external overload protector (Kriwan module) has activated. The external overload protector
modules are mounted in the compressor wiring junction box.
Temperature sensors embedded in the compressor motor windings are the inputs to the module. The module is powered with
24 vac from the units main control box. The module output is a
normally closed contact that is wired in series with the compressor contactor coil. In a compressor motor overload condition, contact opens, deenergizing the compressor contactor.
Low Refrigerant Charge
extended period of time with low refrigerant charge, the compressor ASTP device will open, which will cause the compressor to trip on its overload protection device.
Circuit Breaker Trip
short circuit by a breaker in the control box.

IMPORTANT: If the CS is always detecting current, verify
that the compressor is on. If the compressor is on, check
the contactor and the relay on the MBB. If the compressor
is off and there is no current, verify the CS wiring and
replace if necessary.
IMPORTANT: Return to Normal mode and observe compressor operation to verify that compressor current sensor
is working and condenser fans are energized.
COMPRESSOR STUCK ON FAILURE ALARMS
Circuit A A051, A052, A053
Circuit B A055, A056, A057 — Alarm codes 051, 052, 053,
055, 056 and 057 are for compressors A1, A2, A3, B1, B2 and
B3. These alarms occur when the current sensor (CS) detects
current when the compressor should be off. When this occurs,
the control turns off the compressor.
If the current sensor board reads ON while the compressor
relay has been commanded OFF for a period of 4 continuous
seconds, an alarm is generated. These alarms are only monitored for a period of 10 seconds after the compressor relay has
been commanded OFF. This is done to facilitate a service technician forcing a relay to test a compressor.
In addition, if a compressor stuck failure occurs and the current sensor board reports the compressor and the request off,
certain diagnostics will take place as follows:
1. If any of the compressors are diagnosed as stuck on and
2. The control will shut off all other compressors.
To check out alarms A051-A057:
1. Place the unit in Service Test mode. All compressors

and condenser fans are energized.
— If the unit is re-
control, the supply-air temperature must be updated every
3 minutes. If it is not updated, then the alarm will be generated.
Failure of this thermistor will shut down the entire unit.
A061 (Return Air Thermistor Failure)
quired to use the return air thermistor input (C.TYP 1, 3, 5, and
9) and the sensor reading is outside the range of –40 to 245 F
(–40 to118 C) then the alarm will occur. The cause of the alarm
is usually a faulty thermistor, a shorted or open thermistor
caused by a wiring error, or a loose connection. If the return
temperature is being written to by CCN or a third party control,
the return-air temperature must be updated every 3 minutes. If
it is not updated, then the alarm will be generated. Failure of
this thermistor will shut down the entire unit.
T068, T69 (Circuit A,B Compressor Return Gas Temperature Thermistor Failure) — This alert occurs when the compressor return gas temperature sensor is outside the range of
–40 to 245 F (–40 to 118 C). Failure of this thermistor will disable any elements of the control which requires its use.
T073 (Outside Air Temperature Thermistor Failure)
alert occurs when the outside air temperature sensor is outside
the range of –40 to 245 F (–40 to 118 C). Failure of this thermistor will disable any elements of the control which requires its
use.
T074 (Space Temperature Thermistor Failure)
occurs when the space temperature sensor is outside the range
of –40 to 245 F (–40 to 118 C). Failure of this thermistor will
disable any elements of the control which requires its use. If the
unit is configured for SPT 2 stage or SPT multi-stage operation
and the sensor fails, no cooling mode may be chosen. The
cause of the alert is usually a faulty thermistor in the T55, T56,
or T58 device, a shorted or open thermistor caused by a wiring
error, or a loose connection.
T090 (Circuit A Discharge Pressure Transducer Failure)
T091 (Circuit B Discharge Pressure Transducer Failure) —
Alert codes 090 and 091 are for circuits A and B respectively.
These alerts occur when the pressure is outside the range of 0.0
to 667.0 psig. A circuit cannot run when this alert is active. Use
the scrolling marquee to reset the alert. The cause of the alert is
usually a faulty transducer, faulty 5-v power supply, or a loose
connection.
T092 (Circuit A Suction Pressure Transducer Failure)
T093 (Circuit B Suction Pressure Transducer Failure) —
Alert codes 092 and 093 are for circuits A and B respectively.
These alerts occur when the pressure is outside the range of 0.0
to 420.0 psig. A circuit cannot run when this alert is active. Use
the scrolling marquee to reset the alert. The cause of the alert is
usually a faulty transducer, faulty 5-v power supply, or a loose
connection.
T094 (Discharge Gas Thermistor Failure)
curs for units which have the digital compressor installed on
circuit A. If discharge gas temperature is open or shorted, the
circuit will be shutoff. The alert will reset itself when discharge
temperature is less than 250 F (121.1 C). The cause of the alert
is usually low refrigerant charge or a faulty thermistor.
T110 (Circuit A Loss of Charge)
T111 (Circuit B Loss of Charge) — Alert codes 110 and 111
are for circuits A and B respectively. These alerts occur when
the compressor is OFF and the suction pressure is less than
26 psig.
T112 (Circuit A High Saturated Suction Temperature)
T113 (Circuit B High Saturated Suction Temperature) —
Alert codes 112 and 113 occur when compressors in a circuit
have been running for at least 5 minutes and the circuit saturated suction temperature is greater than 70 F (21.1 C). The high
saturated suction alert is generated and the circuit is shut down.

T114 (Circuit A Low Superheat)
T115 (Circuit B Low Superheat) — Alert codes 114 and 115
occur when the superheat of a circuit is less than 5 F (2.8 C) for
5 continuous minutes. The low superheat alert is generated and
the circuit is shut down.
T118 (High Discharge Gas Temperature Alert)
A118 (High Discharge Gas Temperature Alarm) — This
alert or alarm occurs for units which have the digital compressor installed on circuit A. If discharge gas temperature is greater than 268 F (131.1 C), the circuit will be shut off. The alert
will reset itself when discharge temperature is less than 250 F
(121.1 C). If this alert occurs 3 times within a day, the A118
alarm will be generated and the alarm must be reset manually.
The cause of the alert is usually low refrigerant charge or a
faulty thermistor.
P120 (Circuit A Low Saturated Suction Temperature —
Compressor Shutdown)
T120 (Circuit A Low Saturated Suction Temperature Alert)
A120 (Circuit A Low Saturated Suction Temperature
Alarm)
P121 (Circuit B Low Saturated Suction Temperature —
Compressor B2 Shutdown)
T121 (Circuit B Low Saturated Suction Temperature Alert)
A121 (Circuit B Low Saturated Suction Temperature
Alarm) — This alert or alarm is used to keep the evaporator
from freezing and the saturated suction temperature above the
low limit for the compressors.
When SSTA or SSTB is less than 20 F (–6.7 C) for 4 minutes, less than 10 F (–12.2 C) for 2 minutes, less than 0° F
(–17.8 C) for 1 minute, or less than –20 F (–28.9 C) for 20 seconds continuously, one compressor of the affected circuit will
be shut down with a local alert (P120, P121) and a 10-minute
time guard will be added to the compressor. If saturated suction
temperature continues to be less than 20 F (–6.7 C) for 4 minutes, less than 10 F (–12.2 C) for 2 minutes, less than 0° F
(–17.8 C) for 1 minute, or less than –20 F (–28.9 C) for 20 seconds continuously, then another compressor will be shut down
until the last compressor on the circuit is shut down at which
time an alert or alarm will be issued (T120, T121, A120,
A121).
This failure follows a 3 strike methodology whereby the
first two times a circuit goes down entirely, an alert will be generated (T120, T121) which keeps the circuit off for 15 minutes
before allowing the circuit to try again. The third time this happens, an alarm (A120, A121) will be generated which will necessitate a manual reset to get the circuit back running.
To recover from these alerts, a 10-minute hold off timer
must elapse and the saturated suction temperature must rise
above 29.32 F (–1.5 C). If recovery occurs, staging will be allowed on the circuit again. Therefore, it is possible that multiple P120 or P121 alerts may be stored in the alarm.
If there are 1 or 2 strikes on the circuit and the circuit
recovers for a period of time, it is possible to clear out the
strikes thereby resetting the strike counter automatically. The
control must have saturated suction temperature greater than or
equal to 34 F (1.1 C) for 60 minutes in order to reset the strike
counters.
T122 (Circuit A High Pressure Trip)
T123 (Circuit B High Pressure Trip) — Alert codes 122 and
123 are for circuits A and B respectively.
T126 (Circuit A High Head Pressure)
T127 (Circuit B High Head Pressure) — Alert codes 126 and
127 are for circuits A and B respectively. These alerts occur
when the appropriate saturated condensing temperature is
greater than 150 F (65.6 C). Prior to the alert, the control will
shut down one compressor on a circuit if that circuit's saturated
condensing temperature is greater than 145 F (62.8 C). If SCT
continues to rise to greater than 150 F (65.6 C), the alert will
occur and the circuit's remaining compressor will shut down.
The cause of the alarm is usually an overcharged system, high
outdoor ambient temperature coupled with dirty outdoor coil,
plugged filter drier, or a faulty high-pressure switch.
A140 (Reverse Rotation Detected)
power up, for suction pressure change on the first activated circuit. The unit control determines failure as follows:
1. The suction pressure of both circuits is sampled 5 seconds
before the compressor is brought on, right when the compressor is brought on and 5 seconds afterwards.
2. The rate of suction pressure change from 5 seconds before the compressor is brought on to when the compressor is brought on is calculated.
3. The rate of suction pressure change from when the
compressor is brought on to 5 seconds afterwards is
calculated.
4. With the above information, the test for reverse rotation is
made. If the suction pressure change 5 seconds after compression is greater than the suction pressure change 5 seconds before compression – 1.25, then there is a reverse
rotation error.
This alarm will disable mechanical cooling and will require
manual reset. This alarm may be disabled once the reverse rotation check has been verified by setting REV.R = Yes.
A150 (Unit is in Emergency Stop)
stop command is received, the alarm is generated and the unit
will be immediately stopped.
If the CCN point name "EMSTOP" in the system table is set
to emergency stop, the unit will shut down immediately and
broadcast an alarm back to the CCN, indicating that the unit is
down. This alarm will clear when the variable is set back to
"enable."
A151 (Illegal Configuration)
invalid configuration has been entered. The following are illegal configurations.
• Invalid unit size has been entered.
• Dual thermostat configured for single-circuit unit.
• Dual thermostat and switch demand limit configure
• AUX board incorrect revision.
• Unit configuration set to invalid type.
A152 (Unit Down Due to Failure)
due to alerts and/or alarms. Reset is automatic when all alarms
are cleared. This alarm indicates the unit is at 0% capacity.
T153 (Real Time Clock Hardware Failure)
has been detected with MBB real time clock hardware. Try resetting the power and check the indicator lights. If the alarm
continues, the board should be replaced.
A154 (Serial EEPROM Hardware Failure)
has been detected with the EEPROM on the MBB. Try resetting the power and check the indicator lights. If the alarm continues, the board should be replaced.
T155 (Serial EEPROM Storage Failure Error)
has been detected with the EEPROM storage on the MBB. Try
