GENERAL
The Product Integrated Control (PIC) option is available
for 39L and 39NX indoor units with a draw-thru configuration. The PIC control box can be supplied as part of a dedicated PIC section; it is factory-installed and wired and has
the same hand (orientation) as the fan section. The control
box can also be shipped separately for remote mounting without a PIC section. For the remote control box option, all connections from the control box to the unit are made to a junction box in the unit’s fan section.
The control box includes electronic modules, fuses, relays, transformers, terminal blocks, low-limit air temperature protection (optional), static pressure transducer (VAV
[Variable Air Volume] units only) and high-pressure switch
(VAV units). An ON/OFF switch is included to shut off the
power to the control box.
PIC environmental limitations are as follows:
Shipping Temperature — −20 to 165 F
Shipping Humidity— 10 to 95%
Operating Temperature — 32 to 125 F
Operating Humidity— 30 to 90%
INSTALLATION
Follow all basic installation instructions for 39L or 39NX
units as described in the 39L or 39NX Installation, Start-Up,
and Service Instructions shipped with the unit. To verify the
PIC and PIC option configurations according to the model
numbers, see Fig. 1 and 2.
Leave protective coverings on the unit until it is installed
inside and protected from the elements, construction debris,
and dirt.
Use one of the keys provided in the 39L or 39NX installation packet (located in fan section) to open the control box
door.Visually inspect all components and wiring for any damage. Remove the valve assembly packages and the sensor
packages from the fan section. For units with PIC sections,
remove protective plastic caps from the bulkhead fittings
(located on the top edge of the control box) and discard.
Verify that the 10.0 amp ON/OFF switch located on the
PIC control box door is in the OFF position. Do not turn the
power supply on at this time.
NOTE: The 39NX and 39L air handlers are designed for indoor applications. Modified units are available for outdoor
applications on pier or slab mounts (not curb mounts). Prod-
uct integrated controls are not available for outdoor applications. Consult your Carrier sales representative for further
details.
ServiceArea Requirements — Article 110-16 of the
NEC (National Electrical Code) describes electrical installation.All 39L and 39NX PIC installations must comply with
the minimum clearances required for electrical installation
as listed in Table 110-16(a) of the code. Make sure to provide the necessary clearance from the PIC unit to any adjoining wall. Refer to the base unit installation instructions
for detailed dimensions for each unit section.
Remote Control Box Option — This option allows
the PIC control box to be mounted away from the unit; the
remote control box (Fig. 3) must be wired to the supply fan
section. Mount the remote control box assembly to the
mechanical room wall near the unit using field-supplied
Unistrutt metal framing or equivalent supports. The control
box has 4 mounting holes in the back of the enclosure for
this purpose.
2
Mount the remote control box as follows:
1. Loosen and remove the 4 nuts securing the control panel
in the control box.
2. Remove the control panel from the box; set the panel and
nuts aside for reassembly later.
3. Mount the control box to the Unistrutt support using fieldsupplied fasteners.
4. Locate, mark, and drill pilot holes on the top of the box
for each of the following:
• Motor starter wiring
• Actuator and sensor wires to fan section junction box
• Supply power wires (ac)
• Valve wiring or tubing (water valves, field-supplied
sensors, or other devices)
5. Expand the pilot holes as required. Recommended sizes
are as follows:
• Motor starter wiring —3⁄4in. (5 wires)
• Actuator and sensor wires to fan section junction
box —
3
⁄4in. to 1 in. (number of wires and hole di-
ameter determined by application)
1
• Supply power wires (ac) —
⁄2in. or3⁄4in.
• Valve wiring or tubing — size as required
Fan section panels are provided with pilot holes that can
be drilled or punched to accomodate an electrical conduit
for the remote control box wiring. Where possible, install
the conduit in a panel that will not be removed, such as the
discharge panel. See Fig. 4.
REMOTE CONTROL BOX CONDENSATE PREVENTION — When the remote control box is installed, precautions must be taken to prevent condensation from forming
inside the junction box mounted in the unit’s supply fan section. Standard installation practice is to mount the remote
control box adjacent to the air handling unit and then to enclose the Class II wiring in flexible conduit between the control box and the junction box in the fan section.
The sheet metal housing of the control box is not airtight,
therefore warm, moist air can migrate through the flexible
conduit to the junction box in the fan section. Condensate
can form inside the junction box and possibly on the terminal lugs.
To prevent moist air from migrating through the conduit,
seal the control wires inside the conduit at the remote control box enclosure. See Fig. 4. Use a nonconductive, nonhardening sealant. Permagum (manufactured by Schnee
Morehead) or sealing compound, thumb grade (manufactured by Calgon), are acceptable materials.
MakeElectrical Connections — 39L and 39NX units
have internal control wiring for the operation of the PIC section and its control devices. The control system requires a
dedicated 120 vac or 230 vac (50 or 60 Hz) power circuit
capable of providing a minimum of 10 amps (but not greater
than 20 amps) to the control box. The actual number of controls on one power source depends on the installation and
power circuit requirements. Do not run PIC power wiring in
the same conduit as sensor wiring or control wiring of fieldinstalled devices.
IMPORTANT: To ease installation, control wiring is
located on the service side of the unit with electrical
connectors provided at all unit separation points. If a
unit is separated into pieces for installation, rejoin all
connectors in their original alpha-numeric sequence upon
reassembly. Connectors for vertical fan sections that
are shipped out of the normal operating position must
also be joined at final assembly.
For units with an integral PIC section, all unit factory control wiring is internal. Only a small number of wires must be
field-installed. All internal wiring consists of plenum wires
which enter the rear of the control box through sealed fittings. Control wiring is 18 to 20 gage, 2-conductor twisted
pair.
The electrical power disconnect and fan motor starter are
field-supplied and installed. Connections are provided in the
control box to wire a field-supplied HOA (HANDS/OFF/
AUTOMATIC) switch. If an HOA switch is used, it must be
field-installed in the supply and return fan motor starter circuit. The factory-wired high-pressure switch (variable air volume only) and low-temperature thermostat options are energized when the supply fan circuit is powered.
See Fig. 5-7 for control box component arrangements and
Fig. 8 for fan motor wiring. PIC input and output points are
listed in Table 1. Consult the wiring diagram located in the
control box or Fig. 9-12 for further details.
Power is present in the PIC control box in the motor
starter circuit even when the dedicated power to the PIC
control box is off.
The supply and return fan starter circuits are independent
from each other. Either circuit and its related control box
interface can have 24 vac, 120 vac, or 240 vac power.
All options that require a factory-installed transformer
are fused with 3.2 amp fuses on the secondary of each
transformer.
When the control box is shipped separately for remote mounting, all unit wiring terminates in a junction box located in
the fan section. Refer to Fig. 12 for the applicable wiring
diagram and Table 2 for junction box connections.
If the unit is provided with a factory-installed smoke control option, refer to the section titled Field-Wiring Connections, Smoke Control Option, page 54.
All PIC electrical components are UL (Underwriters’Laboratories) listed. The electronic modules are approved under
UL HVACEquipment Standard 873. PIC units are listed and
labeled by ETL (Engineering Testing Laboratory) to comply
with UL Standard 1995 for heating and cooling units, and
comply with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
Standard 90A.
