PRE-INSTALLATION
Unpack and Inspect Units —
inspected at the factory throughout the manufacturing process
under a strict detailed quality assurance program, and, where
possible, ALL major components and sub-assemblies are carefully tested for proper operation and verified for full compliance with factory standards. Operational testing of some customer-furnished components such as electronic control valves
and digital controllers may be a possible exception.
Each unit is carefully packaged for shipment to avoid damage during normal transit and handling. Equipment should always be stored in a dry place, and in the proper orientation as
marked on the carton. All shipments are made F.O.B. factory
and are the responsibility of the receiving party to inspect the
equipment upon arrival. Any obvious damage to the carton
and/or its contents should be recorded on the bill of lading and
a claim should be filed with the transportation company, and
Carrier should be advised. After determining the condition of
the carton exterior, carefully remove each unit from the carton
and inspect for hidden damage. At this time, check to make
sure that “furnished only” items such as thermostats, grilles etc.
are accounted for whether packaged separately or shipped at a
later date. Any hidden damage should be recorded and immediately reported to the transportation company, a claim should
be filed with the transportation company, and Carrier should be
notified. In the event a claim for shipping damage is filed, the
unit, shipping carton, and all packing must be retained for
physical inspection by the transportation company. All equipment should be stored in the factory shipping carton with internal packing in place until installation.
At the time of receipt, the equipment type and arrangement
should be verified against the order documents. Should any
discrepancy be found, the local sales representative should be
notified immediately so that proper action may be taken.
Should any questions arise concerning warranty repairs, the
factory must be notified BEFORE any corrective action is taken. Where local repairs or alterations can be accomplished, the
factory must be fully informed of the extent and expected cost
of those repairs before work is begun. Where factory operations are required, the factory must be contacted for authorization to return equipment and a Return Authorization Number
will be issued. Unauthorized return shipments of equipment
and shipments not marked with an authorization number will
be refused. In addition, any claims for unauthorized expenses
will not be accepted by the manufacturer.
All units are carefully
Protect Units from Damage — All equipment is de-
signed and fabricated with robust materials and presents a
rugged appearance. Still, great care must be taken to assure
that no force or pressure is applied to the coil, piping, or drain
stub-outs during handling. Depending on the options and accessories, some units may contain delicate components that
may be damaged by improper handling. All units shall be handled by the chassis or as close as possible to the unit mounting
point locations. In the case of a full cabinet unit, the unit must
be handled by the exterior casing. This is acceptable provided
the unit is maintained in an upright position, and no force is applied that may damage internal components or painted
surfaces.
The equipment must always be properly supported. Temporary supports used during installation or service must be adequate to hold the equipment securely. Equipment should always be stored in the proper orientation as marked on the carton. To maintain warranty, protect units against hostile
environment (such as rain, snow, or extreme temperatures),
theft, vandalism, and debris on jobsite. Equipment covered in
this manual is not suitable for outdoor installations. Do not allow foreign material to fall into drain pan. Prevent dust and debris from being deposited on motor, fan wheels and cooling/
heating coils. Failure to do so may have serious adverse effects
on unit operation, and in the case of the motor and blower assembly, may result in immediate or premature failure. Manufacturer's warranty is void if foreign material is allowed to be
deposited on the motor or blower wheels of any unit. Some
units and/or job conditions may require some form of temporary covering during construction.
Prepare Jobsite for Unit Installation — To save
time and to reduce the possibility of costly errors, set up a complete sample installation in a typical room at jobsite. Check all
critical dimensions such as pipe, wire, and duct connection
requirements. Refer to job drawings and product dimension
drawings as required (see Fig. 1-28). Instruct all trades in their
part of the installation.
Identify and Prepare Units — Be sure power require-
ments match available power source. Refer to unit nameplate
and wiring diagram.
1. Check all tags on unit to determine if shipping screws are
to be removed. Remove screws as directed.
2. Rotate the fan wheel by hand to ensure that the fan is
unrestricted and can rotate freely. Check for shipping
damage and fan obstructions. Adjust blower motor as
required.
3. Perform "Dry Fit" of valve assembly that may be shipped
unattached to unit coil assembly. Should any questions
arise on fit up please contact your local representative.
4. Horizontal plenum type 42CE units may be shipped with
a bottom return-air inlet. These units may be converted to
rear return as outlined in Appendix C.
5. Hi-Performance plenum-type 42DC units may be
shipped with a bottom return-air inlet. These units may
be converted to rear return as outlined in Appendix C.

Coil Connections (Positions A & B) — When isolation valve only is added to supply or return line, the isolation valve will be factory
brazed to the coil stub-out. Addition of any other component or connection to the supply or return line will change the respective coil
connection(s).
Service Fittings (Positions C & D) — Optional fittings for attaching pressure/temperature sensing devices to obtain pressure drop or temperature differential across coil. Used with ball valve or balance valve where extremely accurate water flow balancing is required.
Water Flow Balancing (Positions E, F, & H) — Only one device per total valve package to be used for balancing water flow through the
coil. When isolation valve (ball valve or ball valve with memory stop at position H) is used for water flow balancing, do not specify additional
balancing device at position E or F. When balancing device is specified at position E or F, isolation valve does not require balancing feature
at position H (with a 3-way motorized valve, a bypass balancing valve may be specified in the bypass line to permit equal flow balancing).
Strainer (Position G) — Does not include blow down fitting and should not be used in lieu of main piping strainers.
Isolation Valves (Positions H & J) — Normally requires one each on supply and return line (see exception under water flow balancing
above). When position H is used for balancing (ball valve or ball valve with memory stop), check specifications for service valve requirements.

Fig. 34-37.
If coil and valve package connections will be made with a
solder joint, care should be taken to ensure that the components
in the valve package are not subjected to high temperatures,
which may damage seals or other materials. Protect all valve
accessories with wet or damp rag wrapped around the body
during soldering / brazing process. See Fig. 40. Many 2-position electric control valves are provided with a manual operating lever. This lever should be in the OPEN position during all
soldering operations.
If coil connection is made with a union, the coil side of the
union must be prevented from turning (it must be backed up)
during tightening. Refer to Fig. 34-37 for common valve packages.
The supply and return connections are marked and color
coded on the coil stub out and valve package. Supply side is
marked as 'S' and return side is marked as 'R.' A blue letter indicates cooling side and a red letter indicates heating side. In case
of field-installed valves and piping, install chilled water valve
components in a way that any condensate dripping or sweating
caused is contained in the extended drain pan or auxiliary drain
or drip lip (optional). Optional drip lip is field installed and
may be packaged separately from the unit.
never exceed 10 psig. However, when steam is used on a 4pipe application system with 1-row and 2-row coils the maximum steam pressure should never exceed 5 psig (suitable for
only low pressure steam).
Do not drain the steam mains or take-off through the coils.
Drain the mains ahead of the coils through a steam trap to the
return line. Overhead returns require 1 psig of pressure at the
steam trap discharge for each 2 ft elevation to ensure continuous condensate removal.
Proper steam trap selection and installation is necessary. As
a guideline in creating a steam trap locate the steam trap discharge at least 12 in. below the condensate return connection.
This provides sufficient hydrostatic head pressure to overcome
trap losses and ensure complete condensate removal.
DIRECT EXPANSION (DX) REFRIGERANT PIPING —
Use the condensing unit manufacturer's recommended line
sizes and requirements. Suction line must be insulated for correct operation. Use refrigerant-grade copper lines only. The
unit is not applied as a heat pump.
Thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) and sensing bulb are
factory-installed on units when DX coil option is chosen with
distributor and TXV. The TXV is equipped with an external
equalizer connection to allow pressures to equalize when the
compressor is shut off. The equalizer piping connection must
be made in the field.
NOTE: If a hot water coil is used in the reheat position, a fieldsupplied freezestat must be installed to protect the coil.
TEST AND INSULATE — When all joints are complete,
perform hydrostatic test for leaks. Vent all coils at this time.
Check interior unit piping for signs of leakage from shipping
damage or mishandling. If leaks are found, notify your Carrier
representative before initiating any repairs. Release trapped air
from system (Refer to “Step 7 — Make Final Preparations” on
page 48.).
Never pressurize any equipment beyond specific test pressure. Always pressure test with an inert fluid or gas, such as
clear water or dry nitrogen to avoid possible damage or injury
in the event of a leak or component failure during testing.
CAUTION
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Overtightening will distort
(egg shape) the union seal surface and destroy the union.
NOTE: The project specifications for system pressure, pressure drop limitations, and flow rate should be checked prior to
selection of specific components or the valve package size.
STEAM CONNECTIONS — On units with steam heating
coils, the maximum steam pressure applied to the unit should
All water coils must be protected from freezing after initial
filling with water. Even if system is drained, unit coils may
still have enough water to cause damage when exposed to
temperatures below freezing.
Following the hydrostatic test, insulate all piping to prevent
sweating.
To ensure compliance with building codes, restore the structure's original fire resistance rating by sealing all holes with
material carrying the same fire rating as the structure.

Step 3 — Make Electrical Connections —
Stub
From Coil
Refer
to unit nameplate for required supply voltage, fan and heater
amperage and required circuit ampacity. Refer to unit wiring diagram for unit and field wiring. Since each project is
different and each unit on a project may be different, the installer must be familiar with the wiring diagram and nameplate on the unit before beginning any wiring. Make sure all
electrical connections are in accordance with unit wiring diagram and all applicable codes. The type and sizing of all
wiring and other electrical components such as circuit
breakers, disconnect switches, etc. should be determined by
the individual job requirements, and should not be based on
the size and/or type of connection provided on the equipment. All installations should be made in compliance with
all governing codes and ordinances. Compliance with all
codes is the responsibility of the installing contractor.
The fan motor(s) should never be controlled by any wiring
or device other than the factory-supplied switch or thermostat/
switch combination unless prior factory authorization is
obtained. Fan motor(s) may be temporarily wired for use
during construction only with prior factory approval and only
in strict accordance with the instructions issued at that time.
All components furnished for field installation by either the
factory or the controls contractor should be located and
checked for proper function and compatibility. All internal
components should be checked for shipping damage, and any
loose connections should be tightened to minimize problems
during start-up.
Any devices such as fan switches or thermostats that have
been furnished from the factory for field installation must be
wired in strict accordance with the wiring diagram that appears
on the unit. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
damage to components, and will void all manufacturer's
warranties.
Units with factory-supplied and factory-installed aquastats
may be shipped with the aquastats mounted on a coil stub-out.
If this is the case, remove the aquastat before installing valve
package. When reinstalling aquastats, consult the factorypiping diagram in the submittal for proper location. If the valve
package is field-supplied, the aquastat must be installed in a
location where it will sense the water temperature regardless of
the control valve position. A bleed bypass may be required to
guarantee proper aquastat operation. The aquastat bypass line
allows a small amount of water to flow from the supply to the
return piping when the control valve is closed.
— The condensate overflow
switch is used to detect a clogged condensate drain pan. The
condensate switch uses a normally closed contact to allow the
system control power to pass through the switch energizing the
water valves and fans allowing normal operation. When an
overflow condition is detected by the switch, it opens the NC
contact and de-energizes the water valve and fans.
Aquastat
— The aquastat must be able to sense whether the
flowing water is being chilled or heated and switches a contact
closed to provide automatic summer or winter changeover for
the system. When a two-pipe cooling/heating system with
optional auxiliary electric heat is desired, an additional
aquastat is required.
Units with optional factory furnished and installed aquastats
may be shipped with aquastats mounted on the coil stub out. In
this situation, remove the aquastat before valve package installation. Refer Fig. 35 for factory piping diagram for proper location when reinstalling the aquastats. If the valve package is
field supplied the aquastat must be installed in a location where
it will sense the water temperature regardless of control valve
position. A bleed bypass should be provided for proper operation of aquastat. The bleed line allows a small amount of water
to flow from supply to return piping when the control valve is
closed for loop temperature sensing.
All field wiring must be in accordance with governing
codes and ordinances. Any modification of unit wiring without
factory authorization will invalidate all factory warranties and
nullify any agency listings. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any damages and/or injuries resulting from improper field installation and/or wiring.
IMPORTANT: Refer to unit wiring label for specific
functions. Standard wiring diagram configurations are
maintained in separate Fan Coil Wiring Diagram litera-
ture.
Units may be equipped with line voltage controls or
24 VAC control systems. The following descriptions are for
typical control sequences only. For detailed control operating
sequence, refer to thermostat operating instructions.
STANDARD WIRING PACKAGES
M
anual Fan Control — On vertical cabinet units, a fan-speed
switch may be furnished unit-mounted and wired. On vertical
furred-in units and horizontal units, the switch may be shipped
separately on a decorative wall plate for field mounting and
wiring.
The standard switch has LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH and OFF
positions plus an auxiliary contact to energize thermostats,
valves, dampers, etc.
NOTE: Wiring diagrams are for typical applications. If other
voltages for heaters or controls are specified, wiring may differ
from that shown. Refer to wiring diagram on unit blower housing for unit specific wiring.
T
hermostatic Electric Valve Control, 2-Pipe — A thermostatically controlled 2-position valve provides superior control
to fan cycling. With this control, the fan runs continuously unless it is manually switched to the OFF or AUTO position. The
fan must be on before the valve can be opened to supply water
to the coil.
This system can be used for normal 2-pipe changeover systems
and can also be furnished for cooling-only or heating-only applications by omitting the changeover and specifying which
application is intended. Wiring diagrams show typical applications. Refer to wiring diagram on unit blower housing for unit
specific wiring.
T
hermostatic 2-Pipe Auxiliary E lectric Heat with V alve Control — This system, also called twilight or intermediate season
electric heat, goes a long way towards solving the spring and
fall control problems of 2-pipe systems.
Chilled water can be run late into the fall, turned on early in
the spring and electric heat will still be available to all units
whenever required.
46
In winter the system is switched over to hot water. Two
changeover devices are required for this. One device switches
the action of the thermostat and the other locks out the electric
heat when hot water is in the coil.
With this system, the fan runs continuously unless manually
switched to OFF or AUTO position. Fan must be on before
thermostat can send signal to open chilled water valve or turn
on electric heater.
Two control methods are available:
1. Use the standard automatic changeover thermostat with a
dead band between heating and cooling.
2. Use a manual changeover thermostat. With this method
only one changeover is required.
Be sure to include a 2-way or 3-way electric valve with this
system.
NOTE: Wiring diagrams are for typical applications. If other
voltages for heaters or controls are specified, wiring may differ
from that shown. Refer to wiring diagram on unit blower housing for unit specific wiring.
T
hermostat 2-Pipe Total Electric Heat with Valve Control
— With this system, the complete heating requirement for the
space is provided by the electric heater; the water system is
never changed over for heating. It is therefore possible, just as
with 4-pipe systems, to have heating or cooling at any time of
the year.
The fan runs continuously unless it is manually switched to
OFF or AUTO position. Fan must be on before thermostat can
send signal to open chilled water valve or turn on electric
heater.
Normally, an automatic changeover thermostat with a dead
band between heating and cooling is used, but a manual
changeover thermostat is also suitable. A 2-way or 3-way valve
must also be used so that the chilled water is off whenever the
heater is on. No changeover device to sense water temperature
is necessary.
NOTE: Wiring diagrams are for typical applications. If other
voltages for heaters or controls are specified, wiring may differ
from that shown. Refer to wiring diagram on unit blower housing for unit specific wiring.
T
hermostatic Valve Control, 4-Pipe — The 4-pipe system
provides the ultimate in economy and room temperature control. Both hot water and chilled water are available at any time.
Normally an automatic changeover thermostat is used, but a
manual changeover thermostat is also suitable. Two 2-way
valves, two 3-way valves, or one 2-way plus one 3-way valve
must be selected. An automatic changeover device to sense
water temperature is not required.
With this system, the fan runs continuously unless it is
manually switched to OFF/AUTO position. Fan must be on before thermostat can send signal to open the chilled water or hot
water valve.
NOTE: Wiring diagrams are for typical applications. If other
voltages for heaters or controls are specified, wiring may differ
from that shown. Refer to wiring diagram on unit blower housing for unit specific wiring.
Step 4 — Make Duct Connections — Install all
ductwork to and from unit in accordance with project plans,
specifications, and all applicable codes. Duct construction must
allow unit to operate within duct external static pressure limits
as shown on job submittals. Units designed to operate with
ductwork may be damaged if operated without intended
ductwork attached.
Units provided with outside air should have some method
of low-temperature protection to prevent freeze-up. This protection may be any of several methods, such as a low temperature thermostat to close the outside air damper or a preheat coil
to temper the outside air before it reaches the unit. It should be
noted that none of these methods will adequately protect the
coil in the event of power failure. The safest method of freeze
protection is to use glycol in the proper percent solution for the
coldest expected air temperature.
Insulate ductwork as required. Use flexible connections to
minimize duct-to-unit alignment problems and noise transmission where specified.
Set unit markings for minimum clearance to combustible
materials and first 3 ft of ductwork. Install ductwork, accessory
grilles and plenums so that they do not restrict access to filter.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for undesirable
system operation due to improper system design, equipment or
component selection, and/or installation of ductwork, grilles,
and other related components.
CAUTION
Prevent dust and debris from settling in unit. If wall finish
or color is to be spray applied, cover all openings to pre-vent spray from entering unit. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the unit and/or the reduction of unit
efficiency.
Step 5 — Frame and Finish Unit
EXPOSED UNIT FINISH, TOUCH-UP AND
REPAINT — Return access and exposed cabinet units may be
furnished with a baked enamel finish. Small scratches in this
finish may be repaired with touch-up paint available from the
factory. Some colors of touch-up paint are available in aerosol
containers and all touch-up paint is available in pint, quart, and
gallon cans.
CAUTION
Proper safety procedures should be followed regarding
ventilation and safety equipment during touch-up and
repainting since materials may pose a health hazard. The
manufacturer's directions should be followed for the products being used.
To repaint the factory-baked enamel, the finish should be
prepared by light sanding with no. 280 grit sand paper or
no. 000 or no. 0000 fine steel wool. The surface may also be
wiped with a liquid surface etch cleaning product such as “No
Sand” or “Pasceo.” These items should be available at most
paint product stores. It should be noted that the more conscientiously this preparation is done, the more effective it will be.
After this preparation is accomplished, the factory finish
should provide excellent adhesion for a variety of air-dried top
coats. Enamel will give a more durable, higher gloss finish,
while latex will not adhere as well and will give a dull, softer
finish. Top coats involving an exothermic chemical process between two components, such as epoxies and urethanes, should
be avoided.
Factory aerosol touch-up paint may require a number of
light “dust coats” to isolate the factory-baked enamel finish
from the quick drying touch-up paint.
Step 6 — Cut Out Openings for Grilles and
Thermostats —
return-air grilles, dampers, thermostats, and switch plates, cut
out openings where specified on the job plans. Be careful not to
cut wires, piping or structural supports.
For remote-mounted thermostats use a steel thermostat
shield ring to protect drywall from thermostat wiring where
applicable.
On all units with optional supply-air or
47
If not included on the unit or furnished from the factory,
Fig. 41 — 3-Speed Potentiometer Adjustment
supply and return grilles should be provided as recommended
in the product catalog.
Step 7 — Make Final Preparations
1. Turn off power to the unit (open unit electrical disconnect).
2. Install thermostats and perform any other final wiring as
applicable. Check the unit for any loose wires.
3. Perform a final visual inspection. All equipment, plenums, ductwork, and piping should be inspected to verify
that all systems are complete and properly installed and
mounted, and that no debris or foreign articles such as paper or drink cans are left in the units or other areas. Clean
dirt, dust, and other construction debris from unit interior.
Be sure to check fan wheel and housing.
4. Rotate fan wheel by hand to be sure it is free and does not
rub housing. Check that wing nuts securing fan assembly
to fan deck are tight.
5. Ensure all panels and filters are installed before checking
fan operation. Turn on power to the unit.
6. Install filter in frame at front of coil. If field-supplied
filters are used, be sure size is as specified in Tables 1-3.
CAUTION
Do not start up or operate unit without filter. Be sure filter
and unit interior are clean. Failure to do so could result in
damage to the equipment or building and furnishings and/
or void all manufacturer's warranties.
7. ECM (Electronically Commutated) Blower:
If the unit is equipped with an ECM blower, additional
steps may be required during the air balancing process.
The ECM blower is controlled by one of three control
boards, depending on the options ordered with the unit.
Review project submittals or order acknowledgment to
determine which ECM control scheme the unit has. Alternatively, match the control board to the illustrations identified in the Control Board Type section.
8. Check the fan and motor operation.
9. Be sure drain line is properly and securely positioned and
that the line is clear. Pour water into drain to check
operation.
10. Prior to the water system start-up and balancing, the
chilled/hot water systems should be flushed to clean out
dirt and debris which may have collected in the piping
during construction. During this procedure, the system
should be flushed from the supply riser to the return riser
through a cross-over loop at the end of the riser column,
and all unit service valves must be in the closed position.
This prevents foreign matter from entering the unit and
clogging the valves and metering devices. Strainers
should be installed in the piping mains to prevent this material from entering the units during normal operation.
Vent all air from unit coil and related piping. Air venting
from the unit is accomplished by the use of the standard
manual air vent fitting, or the optional automatic air vent
fitting installed on the coil. Venting can be accomplished
by depressing the needle valve core. Automatic air vents
may be unscrewed one turn counterclockwise to speed
initial venting, but should be screwed in for automatic
venting after start-up operations. When steady stream of
water begins to escape, close valve. Vent release air slowly, usually dripping water into drain pan in the process.
Make sure all service valves are open and that the motorized control valves, if supplied, are set for automatic
operation.
CAUTION
The air vent provided on the unit is not intended to replace
the main system air vents and may not release air trapped
in other parts of the system. Inspect the entire system for
potential air traps and vent those areas as required, independently. In addition, some systems may require repeated
venting over a period of time to properly eliminate air from
the system. Failure to properly vent system may negatively
affect operation.
11. Check all control valves in the system for proper operation in accordance with valve manufacturer's instructions.
12. For units with factory-installed ball valves with lever handles — When handle is perpendicular to valve body, there
is no flow through valve. Ball valves may be used as
shutoff valves.
ECM CONTROL OPTION.
CAUTION
Both of the procedures described below require the control
box to be powered while adjustments are made. Line voltage components are concealed behind a secondary cover.
However, installer should still take all reasonable precautions to prevent electrical shock.
3-Discrete Speed Potentiometer Field Adjustment (See
Fig. 41) — The unit has been factory configured to produce
PSC equivalent airflow on high speed, with medium and low
speed set at 80% and 60% of high, respectively. If these settings are acceptable, then no further configuring is required.
If alternative airflows are desired, use board mounted pots
to adjust the airflow associated with each input. Each output
can be adjusted from 0 to 100% of the motor’s factory programmed operating range. Use voltmeter and airflow chart (on
control box cover) to set values. Refer to Appendix A for adjustment procedure.

CAUTION
Both of the start-up and servicing procedures described
below require the control box to be powered while adjustments are made. Line voltage components are concealed
behind a secondary cover. However, installer should still
take all reasonable precautions.
START-UP
Before beginning any start-up operation, the start-up personnel should familiarize themselves with the unit, options and
accessories, and control sequence to understand the proper system operation. All personnel should have a good working
knowledge of general start-up procedures and have the appropriate start-up and balancing guides available for consultation.
The building must be completely finished including doors,
windows, and insulation. All internal walls and doors should be
in place and in the normal position. In some cases, the interior
decorations and furniture may influence overall system performance. The entire building should be as complete as possible
before beginning any system balancing.
Except as required during start-up and balancing operations,
no fan coil units should be operated without all the proper ductwork attached, supply and return grilles in place, and all access
doors and panels in place and secure.
Start-up procedures vary depending on time of year (summer or winter) and building characteristics (new building/old
building, occupied/unoccupied, etc.)
Start-up in the cooling mode requires that proper care be
given to avoid condensation problems. Condensation forms on
surfaces that are colder than the dew point of the surrounding
air. If a unit is started and is piped with low-temperature chilled
water in a hot, humid atmosphere, condensation will form on
many parts of the unit. In order to avoid excessive condensation, higher temperature water should initially be used (approximately 65 to 70 F) and the fan coil control set at low or medium fan speed. Be sure the fan current does not exceed motor
nameplate values. Also, outside air supply fans, and bathroom
and kitchen exhaust fans should be off.
As the building temperature drops, the chilled water temperature can be gradually reduced until it reaches 50 F. At this
point the outside air fans can be turned on. When the chilled
water temperature is reduced to its design point, the exhaust
fans can be turned on.
Cooling/Heating System — Prior to the water system
start-up and balancing, flush the chilled / hot water systems to
clean out dirt and debris which may have collected in the piping during construction. During the process, all unit service
valves must be in the closed position to prevent foreign matter
from entering the unit and clogging the valves and metering devices. Strainers should be installed in the piping mains to prevent such material from entering units during normal
operation.
During system filling, air venting from the unit is accomplished by the use of standard manual air vent or optional automatic air venting installed on the coil. Manual air vents are basically Schrader valves. For air venting, depress the valve unit
the air has vented the coil. When water begins to escape
through the valve, release the valve. Automatic air vents may
be unscrewed one turn counterclockwise to speed initial
venting but should be screwed in for automatic venting after
start-up operation. See Fig. 42 and 43.
Air System Balancing — All duct stubs, grilles, filters,
and return-access panels must be properly installed to establish
actual system operating conditions BEFORE beginning air balancing operations.
Each individual unit and the attached ductwork is a unique
system with its own operating characteristics. For this reason,
air balancing is normally done by balance specialists who are
familiar with all procedures required to properly establish air
distribution and fan-system operating conditions. These procedures should not be attempted by unqualified personnel.
Units with no ductwork have air volumes predetermined at
the factory by supply grille size and normally do not require air
balancing other than selecting the desired fan speed. Units furnished with optional dampers on supply grilles may require
some small adjustments to “fine tune” the air delivery to each
grille. Opposed blade balancing dampers are not available for
all grilles on a unit with electric heat.
After proper system operation is established, the actual unit
air delivery and the actual fan motor amperage draw for each
unit should be recorded in a convenient place for future
reference.
Water System Balancing — A complete knowledge
of the hydronic system, along with its components and controls, is essential to proper water system balancing. This procedure should not be attempted by unqualified personnel. The
system must be complete, and all components must be in operating condition BEFORE beginning water system balancing
operations.
Each hydronic system has different operating characteristics
depending on the devices and controls used in the system. The
actual balancing technique may vary from one system to
another.
After the proper system operation is established, the appropriate system operating conditions such as various water temperatures and flow rates should be recorded in a convenient
place for future reference.
Before and during water system balancing, conditions may
exist due to incorrect system pressures which may result in noticeable water noise or undesired valve operation. After the entire system is balanced, these conditions will not exist on properly designed systems.
Water Treatment — Proper water treatment is a special-
ized industry. Carrier recommends consulting an expert in this
field to analyze the water for compliance with the water quality
parameters listed in Table 6 and to specify the appropriate water treatment regimen. The expert may recommend typical additives such as rust inhibitors, scaling preventative, antimicrobial growth agents or algae preventatives. Anti-freeze solutions
may be used to lower the freezing point.
Carrier’s water coil tubes and headers are constructed of
pure copper. Multiple brass alloys may be present in the valve
package, depending on unit configuration. It is the user's responsibility to ensure the tube and piping materials furnished
by Carrier are compatible with the treated water.
49
Failure to provide proper water quality will void the fan
coils unit's warranty.

Controls Operation — Before proper control operation
can be verified, all other systems must be operating properly.
The correct water and air temperatures must be present for the
control function being tested. Some controls and features are
designed to not operate under certain conditions. For example,
on a two-pipe cooling/heating system with auxiliary electric
heat, the electric heater cannot be energized with hot water in
the system.
A wide range of controls, electrical options and accessories
may be used with the equipment covered in this manual. Consult the approved unit submittals, order acknowledgments, and
other literature for detailed information regarding each individual unit and its controls. Since controls and features may vary
from one unit to another, care should be taken to identify the
controls used on each unit and their proper control sequence.
Information provided by component manufacturers regarding
installation, operation, and maintenance of their individual controls is available upon request.
When changing from one mode to another (cooling to heating or heating to cooling), it may take some time to actually notice a change in the leaving air temperature. In addition, some
units may be designed for a very low air temperature rise in
heating. Before declaring a unit inoperative or a component
defective, it may be necessary to verify operation by more than
one method.
SERVICE
Excessive Condensation on Unit —
chilled water through a fan coil unit with the unit fan off can
cause excessive condensation. If fan cycling is used, a water
flow control valve should be installed to shut off the water
when the fan stops.
Other methods of control that avoid condensation problems
are as follows:
1. Continuous fan operation with motorized chilled water
valve controlled by a thermostat.
2. Continuous fan operation with thermostat control to
switch fan from high to low speed (instead of off).
Running
To Clean Coil
1. Be sure electrical service switch is open, locked, and
tagged while working on unit.
2. Remove return-air grille access panel and brush between
coil fins with stiff wire brush. Care should be taken to not
damage coil fins. Follow-up by cleaning with vacuum
cleaner. If coil is cleaned with air hose and nozzle, take
care not to drive dirt and dust into other components.
Blow air through the coil fins from the leaving air face.
This should again be followed by vacuuming. Units
provided with the proper type of air filters, replaced regularly, will require less frequent coil cleaning.
3. Install clean filter. Refer to Clean or Replace Air Filters
section.
Drain — The drain must be checked before initial start-up
and at the beginning of each cooling season to assure that the
drain trap and line are clear. If it is clogged, take steps to clear
the debris so that condensate will flow easily.
Make periodic checks of the drain during the cooling season
to maintain a free flowing condensate. Units provided with secondary or tell-tale drain connection will indicate a clogged
main line by flow from the tell-tale connection.
NOTE: Should the growth of algae and/or bacteria be a concern, consult an air conditioning and refrigeration supply organization familiar with local conditions for chemical or other
solution available to control these growths.
Check Drain — Lock open and tag unit electrical service
switch.
Check drain pan, drain line and trap before initial start-up
and at start of each cooling season. A standard type pipe clean-
3
er for
/4-in. ID pipe can be used to ensure that pipe is clear of
obstruction so that condensate is carried away. Check the drain
line at filter cleaning time during the cooling season. Be sure
that debris has not fallen into unit through supply-air grille.
Should the growth of algae and/or bacteria be a concern, consult an air conditioning and refrigeration supply organization
familiar with local conditions for chemicals or other solutions
available to control these agents.
Fan Motor Bearings — Lock open and tag unit electri-
cal service switch.
Standard motors are permanently sealed and lubricated. No
lubrication is required unless special motors have been
supplied or unusual operating conditions exist.
Clean Fan Wheel — Lock open and tag unit electrical
service switch.
For access to fan assembly, remove front or bottom panel.
Fan assembly may be removed from its tracks if unit has a long
conduit lead. Dirt and debris should not be allowed to accumulate on the blower wheel or housing. This can result in an unbalanced blower wheel condition which can damage a blower
wheel or motor. The wheel and housing may be cleaned periodically using a vacuum cleaner and a brush, taking care not to
dislodge the factory balancing weights on the blower wheel
blades.
Clean Electric Heater — Lock open and tag unit elec-
trical service switch.
1. Remove dust, dirt, or foreign material before start-up. Do
not block normal airflow to and from units; blockage may
damage electric heaters.
2. Clean heater elements with soft brush or vacuum cleaner
as necessary.
3. To replace blown fusible links (nichrome heaters only):
a.Remove fan deck (horizontal units only) for
access to heater.
b. Remove nut securing link at each end; install new
link; reinstall nuts.
c.Reinstall fan deck (if removed).
Electric resistance heaters typically require no normal
periodic maintenance when unit air filters are changed
properly. The operation and service life may be affected by
other conditions and equipment in the system. The two most
important operating conditions for an electric heater are proper
airflow and proper supply voltage. High supply voltage and/or
poorly distributed or insufficient airflow over the element will
50
result in element overheating and possible limit switch
opening. This condition may result in the heater cycling on the
high-limit thermal cutout. Sheath heaters have automatic reset
switches only. Open strip heaters have an automatic reset
switch with a backup, high-limit thermal switch. Automatic
reset switch resets automatically after the heater has cooled
down. High limit thermal switch must be replaced once the
circuit has been broken. The high-limit thermal cutout device is
a safety device only and is not intended for continuous
operation. With proper unit application and operation, the highlimit thermal cutout will not operate. This device only operates
when a problem exists, and ANY condition that causes highlimit cutout MUST be corrected immediately. High supply
voltage also causes excessive amperage draw and may trip the
circuit breaker or blow the fuses on the incoming power
supply.
After proper airflow and supply power are assured, regular
filter maintenance is important to provide clean air over the
heater. Dirt that is allowed to deposit on the heating element
will cause hot spots and eventual element burn through. These
hot spots will normally not be enough to trip the high-limit
thermal cutout device and may not be evident until actual heater element failure.
Filters — The type of throwaway filter most commonly
used on fan coil units should be replaced on a regular basis.
The time interval between each replacement should be established based on regular filter inspection and should be recorded
in the log for each unit. Refer to product catalog for recommended filter size for each product type and size. If the replacement filters are not purchased from the factory, the filter used
should be of same type and size as those furnished from or recommended by the factory. Pleated media or extended surface
filter should not be used since the high air pressure drop encountered with these type of filters is not compatible with the
type of fan coil unit covered in the manual.
A maintenance schedule for permanent filters should be developed in the same manner as throwaway filters. Unlike
throwaway filters, permanent filters may be cleaned and reinstalled in the unit instead of being discarded when dirty. The
optional factory permanent filter may be cleaned in hot soapy
water to remove any trapped dirt the set aside on edge to dry.
Before replacing the filter in the unit, it should be recharged
with some type of entrapment film. The filter should be
sprayed on both sides or submerged in the film to assure complete coverage. The filter should not be allowed to soak in the
film but should be immediately removed and the excess film
drained from the filter before re-installation in the unit.
NOTE: Permanent filters normally have less static pressure
loss than throwaway filters.
Clean or Replace Air Filters — Lock open and tag
unit electrical service switch.
At the start of each cooling season and after each month of
operation (more or less depending on operating conditions) replace throwaway filter or clean permanent filter.
THROWAWAY FILTER — The type of throwaway filter
most commonly used on fan coil units should be replaced on a
regular basis. The time interval between each replacement
should be established based on regular inspection of the filter
and should be recorded in the log for each unit. Replace filter
with a good quality filter of the size shown in Tables 1-4. Do
not attempt to clean and reuse disposable filters. If the replacement filters are not purchased from the factory, the filters used
should be the same type and size as those furnished from or
recommended by the factory. Consult the factory for
applications using filter types other than the factory standard or
optional product. Filters with high arc pressure drops are generally not compatible with the fan coil units in this manual.
PERMANENT FILTER — A maintenance schedule for permanent filters should be developed in the same manner as
throwaway filters. Unlike throwaway filters, permanent filters
may be cleaned and re-installed in the unit instead of being discarded when dirty.
1. Tap on solid surface to dislodge heavy particles.
2. Wash in hot water. If needed, use mild solution of commercial solvent such as sal soda or trisodium phosphate.
3. Set filter on end so that water drains out through slots in
frame. Allow filter to dry thoroughly.
4. Recharge filter with recharging oil. Three ounces is sufficient for medium size filter. Oil may be applied by insect
spray gun. For easier spraying, the oil can be warmed.
If the filter is dipped in the recharging oil, remove it immediately and allow draining through slots in frame.
5. Replace filter in unit.
If another type of filter is used, follow the filter manufacturer's
instructions.
Electrical Wiring and Controls — The electrical
operation of each unit is determined by the components and
wiring of the unit. This may vary from unit to unit. Consult the
wiring diagram attached to the unit for the actual type and
number of controls provided on each unit.
The integrity of all electrical connections should be verified
at least twice during the first year of operation. Afterwards, all
controls should be inspected regularly for proper operation.
Some components may experience erratic operation or failure
due to age. Wall thermostats may also become clogged with
dust and lint and should be periodically inspected and cleaned
to provide reliable operation.
When replacing any components such as fuses, contractors,
or relays, use only the exact type, size and voltage component
as furnished from the factory. Any deviation without factory
authorization could result in personal injury or damage to the
unit. This will also void all factory warranties. Only factorysupplied replacement parts ensure that the warranty and agency
status remain in effect. All repair work should be done in such
a manner as to maintain the equipment in compliance with
governing codes, ordinances and testing agency listings.
More specific information regarding the use and operating
characteristics of the standard controls offered by the
manufacturer are contained in other manuals.
Valves and Piping — No formal maintenance is re-
quired on the valve-package components most commonly used
with fan coil units other than a visual inspection for possible
leaks in the course of other normal periodic maintenance. In the
event that a valve should need replacement, the same
precautions taken during the initial installation to protect the
valve package from excessive heat should also be used during
replacement.
Warranty — All equipment and components sold through
the Parts Department are warranted under the same conditions
as the standard manufacturer’s warranty with the exception
that the warranty period is thirty (30) days unless the component is furnished as a warranty replacement. Parts furnished as
warranty replacements are warranted for the remaining term of
the original unit warranty or not less than thirty (30) days.

VR3 potentiometer so the meter measures 4.51 vdc. This
will set the ECM speed to 90% of maximum for high
speed. Open the high speed relay.
7. Medium Speed: close medium speed relay by applying
24-v to the medium terminal. Using a small screwdriver
turn the VR2 potentiometer so the meter measures
3.53 vdc. This will set the ECM speed to 70% of maximum for medium speed. Open the medium speed relay.
8. Low Speed: Close low speed relay by applying 24-v to
the low terminal. Using a small screwdriver turn the VR1
potentiometer so the meter measures 2.06 vdc. This will
set the ECM speed to 40% of maximum speed for low
speed operation. Open the low speed relay.
52
APPENDIX B — EVO/ECM 4-SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Fig. B — 4-Speed ECM
Adjusting the Flo1, Flo2, Flo3 potentiometers requires the
use of a multi-meter capable of measuring 0~5 vdc.
1. Only trained and qualified individuals should attempt to
adjust or service components on any electrical component. Failure to follow safety rules could result in electrical shock or hazard.
2. 24 vac power must be supplied to ECM board to make
adjustments.
3. Set the electrical multi-meter to volts direct current (vdc)
on the 0~5 or 0~20 vdc scale.
4. Attach black (negative) lead of meter to the “Com” terminal to the left of the potentiometers and below the status
light.
5. Attach the red (positive) lead of the meter to the high
speed “Flo1” terminal below the potentiometer.
6. High Speed: Using a small screwdriver turn the Flo1 potentiometer so the meter measures 4.51 vdc. This will set
the ECM speed to 90% of maximum for high speed operation.
7. Medium Speed: Using a small screwdriver turn the Flo2
potentiometer so the meter measures 3.53 vdc. This will
set the ECM speed to 70% of maximum speed for medium speed operation.
8. Low Speed: Using a small screwdriver turn the Flo3 potentiometer so the meter measures 2.06 vdc. This will set
the ECM speed to 40% of maximum speed for low speed
