An HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) system supplies conditioned air to virtually every area of a
building. Smoke introduced into this air duct system will be
distributed throughout the entire building. Smoke detectors
designed for use inside the unit are used to sense the presence
of smoke passing through the unit.
The smoke detector utilizes photoelectric technology for the
detection of smoke. This detection method, when combined
with an efficient ducting design, samples air passing through
the unit. If sufficient smoke is sensed, an alarm signal is initiated and the ComfortLink controls will shut down the unit. With
the unit shut down, the unit will not blow toxic smoke and fire
gases throughout the areas served by the duct system.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform the basic maintenance
functions of cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All
other operations should be performed by trained service personnel. When working on air-conditioning equipment, observe
precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit,
and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Use care when handling and installing the accessory.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on
unit, turn off main power swit ch to unit. Electrical shock
could cause personal injury.
The National Fire Protection Association has established
that DUCT DETECTORS MUST NOT BE USED AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR OPEN AREA DETECTOR PROTECTION as a means of providing life safety. Nor are they
a substitute for early warning in a building’s regular fire
detection system. Carrier supports this positi on and strongly
recommends that the user read NFPA Standards 90A, 72,
and 101. This smoke detector is listed per UL 2 68A.
This device will not operate without electrical power.
Fire situations may cause an interruption of power. The
system safeguards should be discussed with your local fire
protection specialist.
This device will not sense smoke unless the ventilation system is operating and the cover is installed.
For this detector to function properly, it MUST be installed
according to the instructions in this manual. Furthermore,
the detector MUST be operated within ALL e lectrical and
environmental specifications listed in this manual. Failure
to comply with these requirements may prevent the detector from activating when smoke is present in the air duct.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

When installing the smoke detector in the unit, follow all
local codes. Damage to unit may result.
Check Package Contents —
aging and inspect shipment for damage. If any damage is
found, file a claim with the shipping agent immediately. If any
item is missing or any part does not assemble properly, notify
your Carrier distributor.
T able 1 lists the accessory package contents. Figure 1 shows
The return air smoke detector is to be
installed in the predrilled holes located in the indoor section
above the auxiliary control box.
1. Open the hinged auxiliary control box access door and
secure.
2. Find the 2 plugs located in the partition above the control
box, remove and discard. See Fig. 2.
3. Remove cover from smoke detector. The screws will
remain captured in the cover.
4. Place foam gaskets over each sampling tube on smoke
detector. See Fig. 1.
5. Remove one knockout from top of smoke detector.
6. Insert stripped ends of wire harness through knockout and
wire to smoke detector as shown in Fig. 3. Use ground
screw in the smoke detector to secure a wire tie. Use wire
tie to provide strain relief for the wire harness.
7. Slide smoke detector into holes in partition. Do not secure
at this time.

Return Air Smoke Detector Installation
Prior to instal lation of this access ory, make sure all power
is disconnected to the unit and locked out. Failure to disconnect power supply prior to servicing may result in serious injury.
NOTE: For horizontal applications it is easiest to install the
smoke detector prior to making duct connections.

8. Insert tube end plug into sampling tube and slide sampling tube into bottom hole of smoke detector.
9. Remove the unit side panel at the return end of the unit
(downshot units only). Save screws for use later.
10. Mount the sampling tube support bracket to the cross
member with two
1
/4 AB-14 5/8-in. screws as shown in
Fig. 4. Insert snap bushing into hole in bracket.
11. Slide sampling tube into bracket, making sure that the
sampling holes point in the opposite direction of the return air flow. Insert the sampling tube all the way into the
smoke detector.
12. Return to the auxiliary control box and secure sampling
tube to smoke detector with two no. 6 self-tapping
screws.
13. Attach smoke detector to partition using two, 8-18
pan head screws. See Fig. 4.
Do not overtighten the screws. Damage to smoke detector
may result.
