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 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 li terature, t ags and labe ls attached to the uni t, and
other safety precautions that apply.
Verify that the power source supplied to the unit matches
the voltages and amperages listed on the unit rating plate.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have
fire extinguishers available for all brazing operations.
Disconnect gas piping from unit when leak
testing at pressure greater than 1/2 psig. Pressures greater than 1/2 psig will cause gas
valve damage resulting in hazardous condition. If gas valve is subjected to pressure
greater than
before use. When pressure testing fieldsupplied gas piping at pressures of
less, a unit connected to such piping must be
isolated by manually closing the gas valve.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on

GENERAL
Carrier’s factory-installed optional COBRA Energy Recovery units precondition ventilation air for the rooftop unit during
winter and summer operation and recover energy from the
building exhaust air. These units are designed to satisfy the
higher ventilation requirements and other building codes while
minimizing energy costs.
Factory installation of the energy recovery section provides
the benefit of reduced field-installation time, single point power connections, and the assurance of a factory test for the complete COBRA Energy Recovery unit. The energy recovery section requires less maintenance than other energy recovery
systems and can be serviced by any qualified refrigeration
technici an .
NOTE: Because of the location of the energy recovery section,
the unit nameplate has been moved to the opposite end of the
rooftop section, on the upper, right-hand part of the panel.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

Step 2 — Provide Unit Support
ROOF CU RB — The COBRA energy recove ry unit can use a
full-perimeter roof c urb or a standard ro of curb for the roof top
section of the unit with a supplemental equipment support for the
energy recovery section. The supplemental equipment support is
not required. The stan dard rooftop unit roof curb is capable of
supporting both the rooftop unit section and the energy recovery
section. Assemble and install accessory roof curb in accordance
with instructions shipped with curb. See Fig. 2A-4. Install insulation, cant strips, roofing felt, and counter flashing as shown .
Ductwork must be attached to curb, not to th e unit. The accessory thru-the-bottom power and gas conne ction package mu st be
installed befor e the unit is set on the r o of curb.

If electric control power or gas service is to be routed
through the basepan, a field-installed accessory thru-thebottom connection must be used. Attach the accessory to the
basepan per the information in the accessory installation
instructions. Thru-the-bottom connections must be installed
before unit is set on roof.
If the combined unit roof curb is not being used, additional
support may be desired under the energy recovery section of
the unit. An accessory support and pad for the energy recovery
section can be used. See Fig. 4. Place the protective rubber pad
on the roof so that the edge near the unit is located about 6-in.
from the end of the energy recovery section. Measure the
distance from the bottom of energy recovery rails to t he pad.
Adjust the energy recovery equipment support to match the
measured distance and screw into plac e with the 4 screws provided. See Fig. 4. Place the support underneath the energy recovery unit and on the protective rubber pa d. This is done by
lifting the end of the energy recovery section slightly above
level and then sliding the support underneath the rails.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is
critical for a watertight seal. Install gasket supplied with the
roof curb as shown in Fig. 3A and 3B. Improperly applied
gasket can result in air leaks and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level. This is necessary for unit condensate
drain to function properly. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb
Installation Instructions for additional information as required.
Step 3 — Field Fabricate Ductwork —
Secure all
ducts to roof curb and building structure. Do not connect duct-work to unit. Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork,
joints, and roof openings with counter flashing and mastic in
accordance with applicable codes. See Fig. 5A and 5B for duct
dimensions.
Ducts passing through an unconditioned space must be
insulated and covered with a vapor barrier. If a plenum return is
used, the return should be ducted through the roof deck to comply with applicable fire codes.
A minimum clearance is not required around ductwork.
These units are designed for a minimum continuous heating
return-air temperature of 50 F (dry bulb), or an intermittent
operation down to 45 F (dry bulb), such as when used with a
night set-back thermostat. To operate at lower return-air
temperatures, a field-supplied outdoor-air temperature control
must be used to initiate both stages of heat when t he temperature is below 45 F. Indoor comfort may be compromised when
these lower air temperature s are us ed with in sufficient heati ng
temperature rise.

condensate from the upper coil of the energy recovery section
is internally piped to the condensate pan in the lower section of
the energy recovery section. For this reason, the bottom drain
on the rooftop unit CANNOT be used for a condensate drain.
The
located near the bottom left of the exhaust air section. See
Fig. 5A and 5B. The energy recovery section must have a
field-fabricated, external, P-trap installed for condensate drainage. Trap must be at least 4-in. deep to protect against freezeup. If the drain line is installed downstream from the external
The condensate from the rooftop unit along with

/4-in. drain connection on the energy recovery section is
trap, pitch the line away from the unit a t 1-in. per 10-ft of run.
Do not use a pipe smaller than the connection (
3
/4-in.).
Step 8 — Make Electrical Connections
Unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken electrical ground to minimize the possibility of personal injury if
an electrical fault should occur. This ground may consist of
electrical wire connected to unit ground lug in control compartment, or conduit approved for electrical ground when
installed in accordance with NEC (National Electrical
Code), ANSI/NFPA, latest edition, and local electrical
codes. Do not use gas piping as an electrical ground. Failure to follow this warning could result in the installer being
liable for personal injury of others.
FIELD POWER SUPPLY — All units except 208/230-v
units are factory wired for the voltage shown on the nameplate.
Fig. 6B — Rigging Label — COBRA™ Energy Recovery Unit — Sizes 48/50HJ008-014
If the 208/230-v unit is to be connected to a 208-v power supply, the t ransformer must be rewired by moving the black wire
with the
nection and moving to the 200-volt
1
/4-in. female space connector from the 230-volt con-
1
/4-in. male terminal on the
primary side of the transformer.
Refer to unit label diagram for additional information. Pigtails are provided for field wire connections. Use factorysupplied splices or UL (Underwriters’ Laboratories) approved
copper/aluminum connector.
When installing units, provide a disconnect per the NEC.
All field wiring must comply with NEC and local
requir e ments.
Install field wiring as follows:
1. Install conduit through side panel openings. Install conduit between disconnect and control box.
2. Install power lines to terminal connections as shown in
Fig. 7.
Voltage to compressor terminals during operation must be
within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate (see
T ables 1A-1H). On 3-phase units, voltages between phases must
be balanced within 2% and the current within 10%. Use the formula shown in the legend for Tables 1A-1H, Note 2 to determine the percent of voltage imbalance. Operation on improper
line voltage or excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse and
may cause damage to electrical components. Such operation
would invalidate any applicable Carrier warranty.
F ACT ORY-SUPPLIED NON-FUSED DISCONNECT — The
factory-supplied disconnect is capable of handling disconnect
amps up to 80 A for a COBRA Energy Recovery unit. For disconnect amps greater than 80 A, a field-supplied disconnect is
required.
FIELD CONTROL WIRING — Install a Carrier-approved
accessory thermidistat assembly according to installation
instructions included with the accessory. Locate thermidistat as-
sembly on a solid wall in the con diti one d spac e to sens e avera ge
temperature in accordanc e with th ermidistat installation i nstructions on page 30. Connect thermidistat wires to terminal board.
Route thermidistat cable or equivalent single leads of colored wire from subbase terminals through connector on unit to
low-voltage connections (shown in Fig. 8). Thermidistat control wiring is routed to both the rooftop unit control box and the
energy recovery section control box.
If a PremierLink™ control is used, a thermidistat does not
need to be used. A humidistat and a separate room air sensor
are used. Two extra terminal blocks (TB2 and TB3) are provided in the control box for all units with PremierLink controls.
No wiring should be directly connected to the PremierLink
control. Wire sensors to TB2 or TB3. Humidistat is wired to
TB1 and energy recovery section control box.

NOTE: For wire runs up 50 ft, use no. 18 A WG (American Wire
Gage) insulated wire (35 C minimum). For 50 to 75 ft, use no.
16 AWG insulated wire (35 C minimum). For over 75 ft, use no.
14 AWG insulated wire (35 C minimum). All wire larger than
no. 18 AWG cannot be directly connected to the thermostat and
will require a junction box and splice at the thermostat.
Pass the control wires through the hole provided in the corner post; then feed wires through the raceway built into the
corner post to the 24-v barrier located on the left side of the
Table 1A — Electrical Data (COBRA™ Energy Recovery 48HJ004-007 Units with 62AQ060)
control box. See Fig. 10. The raceway provides the UL
required clearance between high- and low-voltage wiring.
NOTE: A humidistat and a temperature sensor can be used in
place of a thermidistat for PremierLink™ units.
