INTRODUCTION
Carrier fan coil units represent a prudent investment offering
trouble-free operation and long service with proper installation, operation, and regular maintenance. Your equipment is
initially protected under the manufacturer’s standard warranty; however, this warranty is provided under the condition
that the steps outlined in this manual for initial inspection,
proper installation, regular periodic maintenance, and everyday operation of the equipment be followed in detail. This
manual should be fully reviewed in advance before initial installation, start-up, and any maintenance. Should any questions arise, please contact your local sales representative or
the factory BEFORE proceeding.
This document contains general installation instructions for
the 42S unit fan coils. Refer to the unit wiring diagram installed on the blower housing or specific manufacturer literature for any other type of factory-mounted controls.
See drawings for unit configurations, dimensions, clearances,
and pipe connections. Refer to unit wiring label for all electrical connections; follow NEC (National Electrical Code) and
local codes.
PHYSICAL DATA
Component weight data, shipping weights, and filter data of
the 42S units are provided in Table 1.
PRE-INSTALLATION
Unpack and Inspect Units
All units are carefully 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 from factory
FOB 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.
Protect Units from Damage
All equipment is designed 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,
risers, or piping during handling. Never use the risers to lift
the unit. Also, depending on the options and accessories,
some units could contain delicate components that may be
damaged by improper handling. Lifting or supporting the
cabinet only at the top and bottom should be avoided to maintain the straight and square cabinet alignment. The unit must
be lowered into the space taking care to properly align the risers to engage the riser swaged section on the unit below. The
risers should never be bent or pushed together to be passed
through the floor slot and should never be lifted up or pulled
down to meet the risers on the floor below or above. The risers are designed with a 3-in. swage to accommodate a 2-in.
overlap and minor floor to floor variations.

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
ure. 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. 2-11). Instruct all
trades in their part of the installation.

INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Place Units in Position
A factory tag is on top of each unit. The tag states riser tier
number, floor, room number (if furnished), and supply-air arrangement. Check unit for any other labels that apply to installation. Units should not be installed at locations other than
that marked on the unit identification tag. If no specific detail
is shown on tag for unit location, then determine configuration for the Universal unit based on information within this
manual. Should any questions arise regarding unit configuration, contact the sales representative or the factory BEFORE
proceeding. Remove unit from pallet and take directly to assigned space for installation. While all equipment is designed
and fabricated with sturdy materials and may present a rugged appearance, great care must be taken to assure that no
force or pressure be applied to the coil, risers or piping during

While the manufacturer does not become involved in the design and selection of support methods and components, it
should be noted that unacceptable system operating characteristics and/or performance may result from improper or inadequate unit structural support. Due to variations in building
construction, floor plans, and unit configurations, each installation is different. The actual step-by-step method of installation may vary from unit to unit. However, the risers should be
moved as little as possible to avoid damage to the unit and internal components.

be leveled, and the cabinet must be squared and brought
into line with any adjacent or included walls. The unit
may be anchored in place by bolting directly through the
unit floor or attaching to the cabinet in some location that
will not interfere with drywall or other items such as the
supply grille, thermostat, or return access panel. When
attaching to the unit cabinet, care must be taken to not
penetrate the cabinet in locations that may damage internal components or wiring. The mounting technique is a
matter of choice; however, the unit should always be
anchored securely to prevent movement during construction and riser expansion and contraction. On certain
units, shipping screws or braces must be removed after
the unit is installed. Be sure to check all tags on the unit
to determine which, if any, of these devices need to be
removed.
42SH units, continue to Step 7.
a. Lay out the control lines for the drywall track and
studs in the floor and ceiling (see Fig. 13).

d. Position the vertical studs and fasten into each of the
stud pockets formed into the chase side panels (see
Fig. 13).
NOTE: The studs may be mechanically fastened to the 42SJ fan
coil. Care should be taken, however, not to penetrate the supply
or return water risers or internal piping. Given the levelness of
the floor and/or the fan coil assembly, some shimming may be
necessary.
e. Assemble the specified wall construction up to and
over the top of the fan coil unit (see Fig. 14).
f. With the fire-wall separation being complete, the
drywall skin on the surface of the individual fan
coils can be applied. Drywall can be applied directly
to the surface, or, if necessary, studding may be
installed on the corners for vertical control (see Fig.
14).
g. For ease of installation of the access panel, apply
drywall on the return-air side directly to the surface
of the unit (see Fig. 14). When applying the wall
board directly to the unit cabinet, it may be necessary to shim the wall board in some areas to achieve
the desired finished wall surface.
h. After all drywalling and painting is complete, install
thermostats, supply air grilles and return air panels.

CAUTION
Toxic residues and loose particles resulting from manufacturing and field piping techniques such as joint compounds, soldering flux, and metal shavings may be present in the unit and the piping system. Special consideration must be given to system cleanliness when
connecting to solar, domestic or potable water systems.
Failure to heed this warning could result in equipment
damage.
7.Attach unit risers:
NOTE: Submittals and product literature detailing unit operation, controls, and connections should be thoroughly reviewed
BEFORE beginning the connection and testing of risers and piping. The supply and return connections are marked on the coil
stub-outs and the valve package with an “S” meaning supply or
inlet and “R” meaning return or outlet indicating flow direction
to and from the coil. Blue letters mark the chilled water connections and red letters mark the hot water connections.
a. Each riser has a 3-in. swaged portion at top and suf-
ficient extension at bottom for an inserted length of
approximately 2 inches. This unit-to-unit joint is
NOT intended for full bottoming in the joint, but
allows for variations in floor-to-floor dimensions
and for correct riser positioning.
If job requires that unit risers be supplemented with
between-the-floor extensions, pieces may be fieldsupplied or factory-supplied. If factory-supplied,
insulation is also provided.
b. Level unit to ensure proper coil operation and con-
densate drainage. Proper riser installation and vertical positioning in the unit provides for a unit piping
run-out to the service valves, which are centered in
the access slots and level or sloping down slightly
away from the riser. This prevents condensation
from running back to the riser and possible damage
from dripping at the bottom of a riser column. Each
job has specific requirements, and satisfying those
requirements is the responsibility of the installer.
After units are positioned and riser centered in pipe
chase, make unit plumb in two directions, using unit
frame as a reference.
c. Anchor unit to building. Use bolts or lag screws
through holes provided in unit frame.
d. After all units in a stack are anchored, make unit-to-
unit riser joints. First, center each coil-to-riser line
within the expansion slot in the unit back panel.
Each riser joint must be in vertical alignment with at
least 1-in. penetration into the swaged joint. This
condition is met if floor-to-floor dimension is as
specified and coil-to-riser lines are properly centered. Wide variations in floor-to-floor dimensions
may necessitate cutting off or extending individual
risers. Such modifications are the full responsibility
of the installing contractor.
e. Before making the riser joints, the riser insulation
must be pulled back away from the joint and protected from heat during the brazing process. The
riser joint filler material must be selected to withstand the total operating pressure (both static and
pumping head) to which the system will be subjected. Low temperature lead alloy solders such as
“50/50” and “60/40” are normally not suitable.
IMPORTANT: Chilled water and hot water risers should
never be piped to drain down into the condensate riser. Extensive water damage can occur due to drain overflow. Drain
chilled and hot water risers to a remote location away from
the unit such as sink, room or floor drains.
8.Anchor risers as required:
a. Do not fasten risers rigidly within each unit. Risers
must be free to move within pipe chase in response
to normal vertical expansion and contraction. The
unit internal piping is designed to accommodate a
total riser vertical movement of ±
3
/4-in., due to thermal expansion and/or contraction, when positioned
properly at the jobsite.
b. Built-in risers must be anchored at some point to
building structure. Unit design accommodates up to
1
1
/2-in. expansion and contraction in riser assemblies when positioned properly at the job-site. Risers
must be anchored to the building structure to limit
expansion and contraction movement to a maximum
1
of 1
/2-in. Riser anchoring and expansion compensation is not included in the factory-supplied unit and
must be field-provided. While some special riser
features are available from the factory, riser end
caps, air vents, and/or flushing loops are normally
provided on the job by the installer.
9.Test the system for leaks after the connections are completed. When testing with air or some other gas, it might
be necessary to tighten stem packing nuts on some valves
to maintain air pressure in the riser. Pressure testing risers with water should be done with the unit service
valves closed to prevent flushing debris into the unit
valve packages. This will also allow risers to be drained
down after testing in the winter to avoid freeze-up problems. In the event that leaking or defective components
are discovered, the sales representative must be notified
before any repairs are attempted. All leaks should be
repaired before proceeding with the installation.
10. After system integrity has been established, pull the riser
insulation back into place over the joint and glue or seal
to prevent sweating and heat loss or gain. Internal chilled

11. If required, fireproof where necessary. Any fireproofing
requirements where risers or piping penetrate floors or
walls are the responsibility of the installer. This work
should be done only after all pressure testing is completed. The fireproofing method used must accommodate
pipe expansion and contraction and the piping must be
protected from abrasion and chemical attack. The pipe
insulation also must be maintained to prevent sweating
and must be protected from wear or erosion at the joint
between the insulation and the fireproofing material.
42SU UNIVERSAL ARRANGEMENT
The unique design of the universal stack fan coil unit allows
for field configuration for each unit. Air discharge, riser,
drain, and outside air knockouts have been strategically located on each unit. Risers, shown with unit, are for reference only. All risers are factory fabricated and shipped loose for field
installation.
It is important that you identify all of the unit feature locations and which knockouts you intend to use before proceeding with the installation. See Fig. 15-19. Also, it must be determined whether your application requires a Mating Unit
(primary/secondary) and its configuration. Consult your local
sales representative or the factory for further details on primary/secondary arrangements.
Potential Universal Arrangement Unit Configurations
Risers: Three Locations
The pre-installed supply, return, and drain risers (2-pipe or 4-
pipe applications) can be oriented on any of three sides of the
unit (see Fig. 15).
Risers cannot be installed on the return air side of the cabinet.
Fig. 16 — 42SU Unit Orientation
Return Air: Single Location
The return air/access panel may then be oriented on the left,
right, or front of the unit.
Supply Air: Five Locations (4 sides and top)
Includes stitched design for 1/2-in. duct flanges.
Outside Air: Two Locations
Either side adjacent to the return air opening.
NOTE: Outside air opening may be used on a side if risers are
configured on that same side.
Supply, Return, and Drain Riser Installation
1.Three sides of each universal stack unit have four supply
and return riser knockouts along the center and one drain
knockout near the lower part of the unit (see Fig. 17).
Identify whether your application uses a 2-pipe or 4-pipe
configuration.
a. Two-pipe configurations typically use the two inner
riser knockouts.
b. Four-pipe configurations will use all four riser
knockouts.
2.Locate and mark the riser and drain knockouts that apply
to your particular unit application, ensuring proper orientation of the return air opening in room.
3. Insert a flat head screw driver into knockout slot shown
in Fig.18.
4.Pry screw driver back and forth until knockout tabs break
away from the unit.
5.Discard knockout. Be careful of sharp edges.
6.Use a sharp retractable knife (see Fig. 19) and vertically
cut the insulation down the center of the riser and drain
knockouts the full length of the knockout.
7.Use adhesive or glue to re-attach insulation that has
pulled away from the unit during knockout removal
process.
Fig. 15 — 42SU Unit Configuration
Unit orientation is determined based on the location of the
risers in the building. The riser side of the universal stack unit
always determines the rear of the unit. See Fig. 16.

CAUTION
Toxic residues and loose particles resulting from manufacturing and field piping techniques such as joint compounds, soldering flux, and metal shavings may be present in the unit and the piping system. Special consideration must be given to system cleanliness when
connecting to solar, domestic or potable water systems.
Submittals and product literature detailing unit operation,
controls, and connections should be thoroughly reviewed BEFORE beginning the connection and testing of risers and
piping.
To assure optimal unit performance, the supply connection(s)
are marked on the unit’s coil with an “S” meaning supply or
inlet and “R” meaning return or outlet indicating flow direction to and from the coil. Blue letters mark the chilled water
connections and red letters mark the hot water connections.
The unit’s internal piping is designed to accommodate a total
riser vertical movement of ±1½ in., due to thermal expansion
and/or contraction, when positioned properly at the jobsite.
Risers must be anchored to the building structure to limit expansion and contraction movement to a maximum of 3 inches. Riser anchoring and expansion compensation is not included in the unit and must be provided. Riser end caps, air
vents, and/or flushing loops must be provided at the jobsite
by the installer.
Proper field riser installation and vertical positioning in the
unit should have a pipe run-out to the service valves which
are centered in the knockout access slots and that slope down
slightly away from the riser (see Fig. 20). This prevents condensation from running back to the riser and possible damage
from dripping at the bottom of a riser column. Each job has
specific requirements and satisfying those requirements is the
responsibility of the installer.
Riser to Unit Installation
Before making the riser joints, the riser insulation must be
pulled back away from the joint and protected from heat
during the brazing process. Each riser joint must be in vertical
alignment. Variations in floor-to-floor dimensions may require field work such as cutting off or extending the risers.
This operation is the responsibility of the installer. The riser
joint filler material must be selected to withstand the total operating pressure (both static and pumping head) to which the
system will be subjected. Low temperature lead alloy solders
such as “50/50” and “60/40” are normally not suitable.
Riser to Drain Installation
1.After the applicable supply, return, and drain knockouts
have been removed, carefully position the unit so that the
riser ball valves penetrate into the unit through the riser

2.Before anchoring the equipment in place, the unit must
be leveled and the cabinet must be plumb and squared.
The unit may be anchored in place by bolting directly
through the unit floor or attaching to the cabinet in some
location that will not interfere with drywall or other
items such as the supply grille, thermostat, or return
access panel. When attaching to the unit cabinet, care
must be taken to not penetrate the cabinet in locations
that may damage internal components or wiring. The
mounting technique is a matter of choice; however, the
unit should always be anchored securely to prevent
movement during construction and riser expansion and
contraction. After anchoring the unit, it is then ready for
the various service connections such as riser connections
and electrical.
3.The plastic flare caps on the end of the riser ball valves
should be removed and discarded.
4.All universal stack units use reinforced braided stainless
steel flexible hose kits for piping between field-installed
risers and unit water coils as shown in Fig. 21. The hose
kit design has threaded connections on each end. The
hose kits allow for riser fluctuations due to thermal
expansion.

leaking or defective components are discovered, the
sales representative must be notified BEFORE any
repairs are attempted. All leaks should be repaired before
proceeding with the unit installation.
13. After system integrity has been established, the riser
insulation must be pulled back into place over the joint
and glued or sealed to prevent sweating and heat loss or
gain. All of the risers, including the riser stubouts, should
be properly covered with insulation. Internally mounted
chilled water piping and valves are located over the drain
pan and need not be insulated.
Any fireproofing requirements where risers or piping penetrate floors or walls are the responsibility of the installer. This
work should be done only after all pressure testing is completed. The fireproofing method used must accommodate
pipe expansion and contraction and the piping must be protected from abrasion and chemical attack. The pipe insulation
also must be maintained to prevent sweating and must be protected from wear or erosion at the joint between the insulation
and the fireproofing material.
When no risers are ordered for the universal stack unit, it is
the responsibility of the installer to make sure that an isolation ball valve is installed between each supply and return
piping connection to the unit. Flare fittings are factory provided to allow connection between the ball valves and the
hoses.
Supply Air Installation
Each side of the unit has one supply air knockout as well as a
supply air knockout on the top of the unit (see Fig. 17).
1.Determine which supply air opening/openings are
required for your application.
NOTE: The supply air opening on the riser side of the unit
should not be used.

42SM UNITS
The unique design of the mega stack fan coil unit allows for
field-configuration of each unit. Risers, shown with unit, are
for reference only. All risers are factory-fabricated and
shipped loose for field installation.
It is important that you identify all of the unit feature locations before proceeding with the installation (see Fig. 9). Also, it must be determined whether your application requires a
mating unit (primary/secondary) and its configurations. Consult your local sales representative or the factory for further
details on primary/secondary arrangements.
Unit orientation is determined based on the location of the
risers in the building. Risers can only be installed on the rear
side of the unit and always determine the rear of the mega
stack unit. The return air is always on the front (see Fig. 26).

included in the factory-supplied unit and must be field-provided. While some special riser features are available from
the factory, riser end caps, air vents, and/or flushing loops are
normally provided on the job by the installer.
Riser to Unit Installation
Proper riser installation and vertical positioning in the unit
provides for a unit piping run-out to the service valves which
are centered in the access slots and level or sloping down
slightly away from the riser. This prevents condensation from
running back to the riser and possible damage from dripping
at the bottom of a riser column. Each job has specific requirements and satisfying those requirements is the responsibility
of the installer.
Riser to Drain Installation
1.Carefully position the unit so that the riser ball valves
penetrate into the unit through the riser slot making sure
the insulation penetrates into the unit as shown in Fig. 27
and 28.

2.Before anchoring the equipment in place, the unit must be
leveled and the cabinet must be plumb and squared. The
unit may be anchored in place by bolting directly through
the unit’s floor or attaching to the building walls through
the cabinet walls in some location that will not interfere
with drywall or other items such as the supply grille, thermostat, or return access panel. When attaching sheet rock
to the unit cabinet, care must be taken to not penetrate the
cabinet in locations that may damage internal components
or wiring. The mounting technique is a matter of choice;
however, the unit should always be anchored securely to
the building to prevent movement during construction and
riser expansion and contraction. After anchoring the unit,
it is then ready for the various service connections such as
riser connections and electrical.
3.The plastic flare caps on the end of the riser ball valves
should be removed and discarded.
4.All mega stack units use reinforced braided stainless
steel flexible hose kits for piping between field-installed
risers and unit water coils as shown in Fig. 28. Each hose
has threaded connections on each end. The hose kits
allow for riser fluctuations due to thermal expansion.
5.Use a wrench to tighten the swivel connections. Use a
backup wrench to hold the riser ball valve stationary to
prevent it from bending or twisting during installation as
shown in Fig. 29. Be careful not to over-tighten swivel
connections.

10. Push the rubber drain hose over the riser drain stubout.
Be careful that you do not bend the drain stubout.
11. Adjust the hose clamp over the riser stubout and rubber
hose to hold in place as shown in Fig. 30.
Fig. 30 — 42SM Riser to Drain Installation
12. Test for leaks. Any and all leaks should be repaired
before proceeding with installation. When testing with
air or some other gas, it might be necessary to tighten
stem packing nuts on some valves to maintain air pressure in the riser. Pressure testing risers with water should
be done with the unit service valves closed to prevent
flushing debris into the unit valve packages. These
valves will also allow risers to be drained down after
testing in the winter to avoid freeze-up problems. In the
event that leaking or defective components are discovered, the sales representative must be notified BEFORE
any repairs are attempted. All leaks should be repaired
before proceeding with the unit installation.
13. After system integrity has been established, the riser
insulation must be pulled back into place over the joint
and glued or sealed to prevent sweating and heat loss or
gain. All of the risers including the riser stubouts should
be properly covered with insulation. Internally mounted
chilled water piping and valves are located over the drain
pan and need not be insulated.
Any fireproofing requirements where risers or piping
penetrate floors or walls are the responsibility of the
installer. This work should be done only after all pressure
testing is completed. The fireproofing method used must
accommodate pipe expansion and contraction and the
piping must be protected from abrasion and chemical
attack. The pipe insulation also must be maintained to
prevent sweating and must be protected from wear or
erosion at the joint between the insulation and the fireproofing material.
When no risers are ordered for the mega stack unit, it is
the responsibility of the installer to make sure that a
field-supplied isolation ball valve is installed between
each supply and return piping connection to the unit.
Flare fittings are factory provided to allow connection
between the ball valves and the hoses.
Variations in floor-to-floor dimensions may require field
work such as cutting off or extending the risers. This
operation is the responsibility of the installer. The riser
joint filler material must be selected to withstand the
total operating pressure (both static and pumping head)
to which the system will be subjected. Low temperature
lead alloy solders such as “50/50” and “60/40” are normally not suitable.
Chilled water and hot water risers should never be piped
to drain down into the condensate riser. Extensive water
damage can occur due to drain overflow. Drain chilled
and hot water risers to a remote location away from the
unit such as sink, room, or floor drains.
All installations should be made in compliance with all
governing codes and ordinances. Compliance with all
codes is the responsibility of the installing contractor.
Supply Air Installation
1.If the unit has been ordered with a supply air plenum,
then each side of the unit has one supply air knockout as
well as a supply air knockout on the top of the unit (see
Fig. 31 and 32).
2.Determine which supply air opening/openings are
required for your application.
NOTE: The supply air opening on the riser side of the unit
should not be used.
3.Use a sharp retractable knife to trim insulation using center knockout slot/trim line as pattern (see Fig. 33).
4.Use a sharp standard needle nose pliers and grab knockout tab (see Fig. 33).
5.Twist or pry pliers back and forth until knockout tab
breaks away from unit.
6.Repeat for all supply air tabs until all have been broken.
7.Discard center knockout piece. Be careful of sharp
edges.
8.Use a sharp retractable knife to trim any excess insulation using knockout hole as pattern.
9.Use duct pliers (hand seamers) to fold duct flange out of
the unit 90 degrees for each side of the supply air opening along duct break (see Fig. 33). The 90-degree flanges
can now be used as drywall stops to prevent coverage of
discharge opening (see Fig. 34).

10. Use adhesive or glue to re-attach insulation that has
pulled away from the unit during knockout removal
process.
11. For ducted applications, tape should be applied along
and around all of the supply air opening knockouts to
prevent air leakage.
Step 2 — Make Electrical Connections
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.
The unit electrical supply is designed to enter through knockouts provided in the top of the unit and pass down through
matching knockouts in the control section top. Where space
allows, power may be pulled directly through the side of the
cabinet into the control section.
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.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any damages
and/or injuries resulting from improper field installation and/
or wiring.
FACTORY-INSTALLED OPTIONS
Condensate Overflow Switch
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.
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 literature. Refer to unit wiring label for specific functions.
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.
22
Page 23
STANDARD WIRING PACKAGES
Thermostatic 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 heatingonly 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.
Thermostatic 2-Pipe Auxiliary Electric Heat with Valve
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.
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.
Thermostat 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.
Thermostatic 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 3 — 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.
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 4 — Frame and Finish Unit
Models 42SG, SH, SJ, SU and SM have factory enclosures
and may be finished with normally accepted wall covering.
However, drywall secured with adhesive bonding alone is not
recommended.
Concealed units are designed to have gypsum board or other
types of wall board applied directly to the unit cabinet surface
to a maximum combined thickness of
file sheet metal panhead screws to secure wallboard to unit
frame. Fasteners may penetrate the cabinet no more than
inch.
These fasteners must be located to avoid damage to internal
components and wiring in the same manner as anchoring fasteners. Do not apply sheet metal screw or nails where they
can penetrate coil, riser pipes, or electrical junction box and
raceways.
Do not secure wallboard to drain pan edges or to control box
enclosure. Condensate leaks or electrical shorts may result.
An alternate method of enclosing the unit is to frame one or
more sides with studding and apply the wall board to this
framing. This method requires specific unit features and return access panels when used on the return-air side of a unit.
Units not properly equipped will exhibit poor cooling and/or
5

Page 24
heating performance and could experience excessive or premature component failures.
Prevent sheetrock dust or other debris from settling on coil
fins, motor-blower assembly or other unit interior surfaces.
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 5 — Cut Out Openings for Grilles and
Thermostats
On all units with optional supply-air or 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.
If not included on the unit or furnished from the factory, supply and return grilles should be provided as recommended in
the product catalog.
Step 6 — 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 Table 1.
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.
7.ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) 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 steam 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.

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 Rheostat Field Adjustment (42SM Only)
(See Fig. 35)
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 setting are acceptable, then no further configuring is required. Board
mounted rheostats are provided to adjust the airflow pertaining to each output. Each output can be adjusted from 0 to
100% of the motor’s factory programmed operating range. To
set airflow, connect a volt-meter between “common” (near
the red status LED) and Flo1 through Flo4.
Fig. 35 — ECM Rheostat Speed Board (42SM Only)
Carrier’s convention is to preset and wire Flo1 for high speed,
Flo2 for medium, and Flo3 for low. Flo4 is not used with any
standard thermostat, but may be employed for a more advanced application. The chart on the control box cover associates airflow rates with the voltage indicated on your voltmeter. For each speed, adjust the rheostat until indicated voltage matches the desired value from the airflow table.
3-Discrete Speed Potentiometer Field Adjustment (See
Fig. 36)
The unit has been factory configured to produce PSC (permanent split capacitor) 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 B for
adjustment procedure.
CAUTION

4-Discrete Speed Potentiometer Field Adjustment, Solid
State
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.
Board mounted pots are provided to adjust the airflow pertaining to each output. Each output can be adjusted from 0 to
100% of the motor’s factory programmed operating range.
Use voltmeter and airflow chart (on the control box cover) to
set values. Refer to Appendix C for adjustment procedure.
Variable Airflow for 0-10 vdc Input
No control board is required and no field adjustments are possible. Motor uses 0 to 10 vdc signal directly. See control box
label. Fan enable at 1.5 vdc.
START-UP
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.
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
duct-work 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°F 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 in-
25
Page 26
stalled 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
until 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 startup operation. See Fig. 37 and 38.
Fig. 37 — Manual Air Vent
Fig. 38 — Automatic Air Vent
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 specialized industry. Carrier recommends consulting an expert in this field to analyze the water for compliance with the water quality parameters listed in
Table 2 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.
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
Running 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).
26

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 Filters section.
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 cleaner
3
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 electrical 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
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 result in
element overheating and possible limit switch opening. This
condition may result in the heater cycling on the high-limit
thermal cutout. 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 high-limit
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.
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, contactors, 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 required 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.
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, then 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.
Drain
The drain must be checked before initial start-up and at the
beginning of each cooling season to assure that the drain trap
27
Page 28
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.
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 twelve (12) months 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.

APPENDIX A — BLOCK-OUT CONSTRUCTION
This section provides rough guidelines for the block-out slot
size for 42S units with risers included. Therefore, the floor
block-out slot dimensions listed in this document should be
considered estimates. The engineer for the project is ultimately responsible for the actual dimensions and meeting local
code requirements.
To select using the following Tables A-D, locate the appropriate unit size in the cabinet charts (dimensions are given in
inches). Then, follow the row across to locate the clear height
(If the clear height exceeds 96-in. use the 96-in. block-out
size). Under type of installation, read the block-out size. If the
clear height is lower than listed or is not recommended (NR)
in the standard 88-in. cabinet chart, use the short 79-in. cabinet chart. If the clear height is lower than listed or is not recommended (NR) in the short 79-in. cabinet chart, please contact the factory.
For examples of clearance height, unit placement, and riser
length see Fig. A. For possible piping arrangements of the
42SJ unit see Fig. B.

APPENDIX B — POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENT
Fig. C — 3-Speed ECM
Adjusting the low, medium, and high potentiometers requires
the use of a multi-meter capable of measuring 0~5 vdc (See
Fig. C).
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.Unit must be powered to perform the following procedure. If main power is not available, connecting a temporary 24-v-40VA power supply to parallel with a
secondary outputs of the unit’s transformer is recommended.
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 DC common
terminal, labeled “L2” above the potentiometer and to
the left of the orange relay.
5.Attach the red (positive) lead of the meter to the red wire
that bridges the 0-10 vdc outputs: high, medium, and
low.
6.High Speed: Close high speed relay by applying 24-v to
the high terminal. Using a small screwdriver, turn the
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.
