SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Page
CHECK the assembly and component weights to be sure
that the rigging equipment can handle them safely. Note
also, the centers of gravity and any specific rigging
instructions.
CHECK for adequate ventilation so that fumes will not
migrate through ductwork to occupied spaces when welding or cutting inside air-handling unit cabinet or plenum.
WHEN STEAM CLEANING COILS be sure that the area
is clear of personnel.
DO NOT attempt to handle access covers and removable
panels on outdoor units when winds are strong or gusting
until you have sufficient help to control them. Make sure
panels are properly secured while repairs are being made to
a unit.
DO NOT remove access panel fasteners until fan is completely stopped. Pressure developed by a moving fan can
cause excessive force against the panel which can injure
personnel.
DO NOT work on dampers until their operators are
disconnected.
BE SURE that fans are properly grounded before working
on them.
SECURE drive sheaves with a rope or strap before working on a fan to ensure that rotor cannot free-wheel.
DO NOT restore power to unit until all temporary walkways inside components have been removed.
NEVER pressurize equipment in excess of specified test
pressures.
PROTECT adjacent flammable material when welding or
flame cutting. Use sheet metal or asbestos cloth to contain
sparks. Have a fire extinguisher at hand and ready for
immediate use.
IMPORTANT: The installation of air-handling units and all
associated components, parts, and accessories which make
up the installation and subsequent maintenance shall be in
accordance with the regulations of ALL authorities having
jurisdiction and MUST conform to all applicable codes. It
is the responsibility of the installing contractor to determine
and comply with ALL applicable codes and regulations.
Field-supplied motors should be Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved.

sion of unit using optional factory-supplied suspension
channels.
Each support channel consists of 2 pieces, the smaller of
which fits inside the larger one. This allows the channel to be
adjusted to the required length for installation.
Channels are shipped on top of the unit. The 2 sections of
each channel are shipped one inside the other, and are held in
place during shipping by the panel screws in the top panel.
Hardware required for installation of suspension channels is
shipped in a package inside the fan section.
At least 2 suspension channels are shipped with each fan
and coil unit. One or more extra channels will be supplied
depending on the number of accessories ordered. Be sure to
install all the suspension channels shipped with a unit. Refer to
39L Isolator Mounting (Suspended Unit) certified drawing for
details.
To install suspension channels:
1. Remove panel screws to free suspension channels for installation. Replace screws in top panel.

Mixing Box
DAMPER ACTUATORS — The 39L mixing boxes are supplied with low leak dampers and blade and edge seals. Damper
operating torques are shown in Table 2.
The actuator and mounting brackets are field supplied and
may be mounted inside or outside the unit. A typical inside
mounting bracket is shown in Fig. 8. For external mounting of
actuators, drill or punch a hole in the exterior panel.
NOTE: If the unit is shipped with AirManager™ controls,
actuator(s) are factory-supplied. Refer to Table. 3.
To ensure torque is transmitted equally to both damper sections, actuator must be connected to the 1-in. hollow jackshaft
that drives the interconnecting linkage bar. Connection to any
other shaft is not recommended.
DUCTWORK ATTACHMENT — Ductwork should be
flanged out and attached to the mixing box panels as shown in
Fig. 9. See Fig. 10 for duct connection sizes.

NOTES:
1. Torque values are based on interconnected dampers driven by
one operator. For units with separate operators for each
damper, calculate torque as follows: Table values x .80 = torque
per damper section.
2. Damper shaft moves 90 degrees from open to closed position.
Condensate Drain — Install a trapped condensate drain
line at unit drain connection. Use 1-in. standard pipe.
Measure maximum design negative static pressure upstream from the fan. Referring to Fig. 7, height “H” must be
equal to or larger than negative static pressure at design operating conditions. Prime enough water in trap to prevent losing
seal (Differential 1). When the fan starts, Differential 2 is equal
to the maximum negative static pressure.
Provide freeze-up protection as required.

Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) Actuators — The control
board positions the unit IGVs in order to maintain the duct static pressure, as measured by the static pressure transducer, at the
required set point. The IGV actuator is electrically connected to
the control board and receives a signal whenever the guide
vane position needs to be adjusted. The guide vane actuator is
mounted to the IGV jackshaft, and secured to the jackshaft
mounting member in order to prevent rotation.
For factory-installed controls which are ordered with the
unit, the IGV actuator is properly sized and factory mounted to
the IGV jackshaft. The actuator wiring is routed across the fan
section to a junction box which is mounted to the exterior of
the unit. Two compatible actuators are available for field
installation. Both actuators are supplied with a length of
plenum rated cable to facilitate installation inside the unit. See
Table 3 for actuator specifications and typical applications.
Jackshaft and IGV linkage setup adjustments are extremely
important for proper IGV performance and static pressure control. Closely follow all instructions.
To install the IGV actuators, perform the following:
1. Disconnect power to the fan motor prior to performing
the installation.
2. Open the fan access door and locate the IGV jackshaft.
Measure the IGV jackshaft diameter. Verify that the size
is within the range of the actuator chosen. See Table 3.
3. Loosen the U-bolt locking nuts on the actuator.
4. Slip the actuator over the IGV jackshaft. Align the actuator parallel with the frame member which supports the
jackshaft.
5. Take the anti-rotation bracket supplied with the actuator
and, with the center locking pin pointed outward, slip the
pin into the slot at the far end of the actuator. Seat the pin
into the center of the groove provided. If the anti-rotation
bracket is not seated against the frame member, measure
the distance from the member and remove the antirotation bracket from the actuator. Bend the bracket to the
required offset. See Fig. 11.
6. With the anti-rotation bracket installed in the actuator
groove, locate the hole in the bracket, closest to the pin,
which is fully in contact against the frame. Mark this hole
location on the frame. Trace the outline of the bracket on
the frame so that it can be re-aligned again when
removed.
7. Remove the bracket and actuator. Drill a pilot hole at the
location marked from Step 6. Install one screw through
the hole. Re-align the bracket with the outline made previously and tighten the screw.
8. Locate and mark the hole on the opposite end of the
bracket, closest to the pin, which contacts the frame. Drill
a pilot hole in this location and install the remaining
screw. Remove the first screw.
9. Install the actuator on the jackshaft and while moving
into position, adjust the free end of the anti-rotation
bracket so that the pin fully locks into the slot provided in
the actuator. Once the actuator is adjusted into position,
install the remaining screw into the anti-rotation bracket.
See Fig. 12.
10. Rotate the jackshaft to fully close the IGVs. Press the
release button (BLACK) on the face of the actuator, and
rotate the clamp in the same direction that closed the
IGVs, until the actuator stop is reached. With the release
still pressed, rotate the actuator clamp from the full closed
position to the .1 mark and release the actuator release
button. Lock the U-bolt clamp into position to secure the
actuator to the IGV jackshaft.
11. If a second actuator is required, repeat the process for a
second actuator. The second actuator mounts on the opposite side of the fan on the opposite end of the jackshaft.
ACTUATOR WIRING — To wire the actuator, perform the
following:
1. Each actuator is supplied with a length of plenum rated
cable. Route the cable from the actuator to the exterior of
the unit. Allow a sufficient service loop to provide free
movement of the fan sled.
2. At the desired location for field connection, drill a
hole (two holes within a
7
/8-in. diameter are required if
3
/8-in.
two actuators are used) through the unit and route the cable through the hole.
3. Install a field-supplied bushing to protect the cable and
seal the hole, using a suitable silicone sealer such as
Form-A-Gasket® by Permatex to secure the cable and
prevent air leakage.
4. Remove the center back plug from a field supplied 2 x
4-in. electrical junction box. Route the cable(s) through
the hole and secure the box to the unit using 2 fieldsupplied no. 10 drill/tap screws.
5. Use a 3 or 4-conductor, 18 AWG cable or individual
18 AWG wiring using RED, WHITE, and BLACK color
coding to connect the actuator to the control box.
6. Inside the control box, connect all RED wire(s)
together. Secure with wire nuts or closed end crimp type
connectors.
7. Inside the control box, connect all BLACK wire(s) together. Secure with wire nuts or closed end crimp type
connectors.
8. Inside the control box, connect all WHITE wire(s) together. Secure with wire nuts or closed end crimp type
connectors.
9. At the control box, strip
conductor. Equip each conductor with a
1
/4-in. of insulation from each
1
/4-in. female
spade type crimp connector.
10. Connect the RED wire to terminal T37 on the control
board.
11. Connect the WHITE wire to terminal T39 on the control
board.
12. Connect the BLACK wire to terminal no. 3 on the TB2
terminal block in the control box.
13. Check the rotation of the actuator. The switch is factory
set in the A position which provides clockwise rotation to
open the IGVs. If counterclockwise rotation is required to
open the IGVs, reset the actuator switch to the B position.
To adjust the jackshaft linkage, perform the following:
1. Refer to Fig. 12. Close the IGVs fully.
2. Loosen the crankarm and rods. Press the release button
on the actuator and rotate it to the .9 mark for right hand
units or the .1 mark for left hand units. Rotate the crankarm on the jackshaft to a position which is about 30 degrees from parallel alignment with the rod connecting the
IGV.
3. Tighten the crankarm into this position.
4. Close the IGVs fully by hand. Tighten the rod into
position.
5. Test the actuator and IGV operation. Be sure the IGVs
fully close and open. Re-adjust the position of the swivel
joint outward if full IGV travel is not reached with the
actuator 90 degree rotation. If the IGVs reach the end of
full travel in less than 90 degrees of actuator rotation,
adjust the swivel joint inward toward the jackshaft. After
making any adjustment, repeat Steps 2-5.

sure electrical junction box is toward the center of the unit.
This is necessary for drive and belts to be properly tightened.
Use smallest slots in motor mounting base that will accommodate motor and allow minimum overhang (Fig. 13). Be sure
that motor holddown bolts are tight on field-installed motor.
JUNCTION BOX CONDENSATE PREVENTION — When
air handlers are installed outdoors in a high humidity environment or indoors where the apparatus room is used as a fresh air
plenum, precautions must be taken to prevent condensation
from forming inside the junction box of the internally mounted
motor.
Standard installation practice is to mount the motor starter
or fused disconnect box adjacent to the air handler and enclose
the power wiring to the motor in flexible conduit.
The sheet metal housing of the disconnect switch or motor
starter is not airtight (even when a box meeting NEMA
[National Electrical Manufacturers Association] IV standards
is used). Thus, warm moist air can migrate through the flexible
conduit to the junction box on the motor. With the motor
located inside the unit, the motor temperature is that of the cool
11
supply air; thus, condensate can form inside the junction box
and, possibly, on the live terminal lugs.
To prevent the moist air from migrating through the conduit
to the motor, seal the power wires inside the flexible conduit at
the motor starter or fused disconnect.
Use a nonconductive, nonhardening sealant. Permagum
(manufactured by Schnee Morehead) or sealing compound,
thumb grade (manufactured by Calgon), are acceptable
materials.
POWER KNOCKOUTS — Panels are not provided with
knockouts for the fan motor power wiring. Openings must be
drilled or punched in the exterior panels of the unit. It is recommended that power wiring be routed through the discharge
panel whenever possible, as this panel is rarely removed for
service access.
Install Sheaves on Motor and Fan Shafts —
Factory-supplied drives are prealigned and tensioned, however,
Carrier recommends that you check the belt tension and alignment before starting the unit. Always check the drive alignment after adjusting belt tension.
When field installing or replacing sheaves, install sheaves
Fig. 13 — Determining Sheave-Shaft Overhang
on fan shaft and motor shaft for minimum overhang. (See
Fig. 13.) Use care when mounting sheave on fan shaft; too
much force may damage bearing. Remove rust-preventative
coating or oil from shaft. Make sure shaft is clean and free of
burrs. Add grease or lubricant to bore of sheave before
installing.
The 39L fan, shaft, and drive pulley are balanced as a complete assembly to a high degree of accuracy. If excessive unit
vibration is present after fan pulley replacement, the unit must
be rebalanced. For drive ratio changes, always reselect the motor pulley — do not change the fan pulley.
ALIGNMENT — Make sure that fan shafts and motor shafts
are parallel and level. The most common causes of misalignment are nonparallel shafts and improperly located
sheaves. Where shafts are not parallel, belts on one side are
drawn tighter and pull more than their share of the load. As a
result, these belts wear out faster, requiring the entire set to be
replaced before it has given maximum service. If misalignment
is in the sheave, belts will enter and leave the grooves at an
angle, causing excessive belt cover and sheave wear.
1. Shaft alignment can be checked by measuring the
distance between the shafts at 3 or more locations. If the
distances are equal, then the shafts will be parallel.
2. Sheave alignment:
Fixed sheaves
— To check the location of the fixed
sheaves on the shafts, a straightedge or a piece of string
can be used. If the sheaves are properly lined up the string
will touch them at the points indicated by the arrows in
Fig. 14.
Adjustable sheave
— To check the location of adjustable
sheave on shaft, make sure that the centerlines of both
sheaves are in line and parallel with the bearing support
channel. See Fig. 14. Adjustable pitch drives are installed
on the motor shaft.
3. Rotating each sheave a half revolution will determine
whether the sheave is wobbly or the drive shaft is bent.
Correct any misalignment.
4. With sheaves aligned, tighten cap screws evenly and
progressively.
NOTE: There should be a
1
/8-in. to 1/4-in. gap between
the mating part hub and the bushing flange. If gap is
closed, the bushing is probably the wrong size.
5. With taper-lock bushed hubs, be sure the bushing bolts
are tightened evenly to prevent side-to-side pulley wobble. Check by rotating sheaves and rechecking sheave
alignment. When substituting field-supplied sheaves for
factory-supplied sheaves, consider that the fan shaft
sheave has been factory balanced with fan and shaft as an
assembly. For this reason, substitution of motor sheave is
prefer-able for final speed adjustment.
Install V-Belts — When installing or replacing belts, al-
waysuse a complete set of new belts. Mixing old and new belts
will result in the premature wear or breakage of the newer
belts.
1. Always adjust the motor position so that V-belts can be
installed without stretching over grooves. Forcing belts
can result in uneven stretching and a mismatched set of
belts.
2. Do not allow belt to bottom out in sheave.
3. Tighten belts by turning motor-adjusting jackscrews.
Turn each jackscrew an equal number of turns.
4. Equalize belt slack so that it is on the same side of belt for
all belts. Failure to do so may result in uneven belt
stretching.
5. Tension new drives at the maximum deflection force
recommended (Fig. 15).
With adjustable sheave, do not exceed maximum fan rpm.
