RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Check Equipment
IDENTIFYUNIT — The unit model numberand serial number are stamped on unit identification plate. Check this
information against shipping papers and job data.
INSPECT SHIPMENT— Inspect for shipping damage while
unit is still on shipping pallet. If unit appears to be damaged
or is tornloose from its anchorage, have it examined by transportation inspectors before removal. Forward claim papers
directly to transportation company. Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in transit.
Check all items against shipping list. Immediately notify
the nearest Carrier Air Conditioning office if any item is
missing.
To prevent loss or damage, leaveall parts in original packages until installation.
Step 2 — Provide Unit Support
ROOF CURB — Install accessory roof curb in accordance
with instructions shipped with curb.See Fig. 10 for roof curb
dimensions. Install insulation, cant strips, roofing, and flashing. Ductwork must be attached to curb.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof
curb is critical for a watertight seal. Install gasketing
material supplied with the roof curb. Improperly applied gasketing can also result in air leaks and poor
unit performance.
Curb should be level to within1⁄4inch. This is necessary
for unit drain to function properly. Refer to accessory roof
curb installation instructions for additional information as
required.
SLAB MOUNT — Place the unit on a solid, level concrete
pad that is a minimum of 4 in. thick with 2 in. above grade.
The slab should be flush on the front of the unit (to allow
condensate drain installation) and should extend 2 in. on the
three remaining sides of the unit. See Fig. 11. Install a 6-in.
gravel apron in front of condenser-air inlets to prevent obstruction of airflow by grass or shrubs. Do not secure the
unit to the slab except when required by local codes.
FLUSH MOUNT — Place side of unit with duct panel flush
against transition. On units with optional base rails, the skirt
on duct-panel side of unit can be removed to allow unit to
be mounted flush against transitions that extend below basepan of unit. To remove skirt, remove 4 screws holding skirt
to base rail. Then, remove skirt.
To remove wood support under unit (with base rail only),
loosen 4 screws above rigging holes and slide assembly out
through rectangular hole.
Step 3 — Field Fabricate Ductwork — Secure all
ducts to roof curb and building structure on vertical discharge units. Do not connect ductwork to unit. For horizontal applications, unitis provided with flanges on thehorizontal
openings. All ductwork should be secured to the flanges. Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints, and
roof openings with counter flashing and mastic in accordance with applicable codes.
Ducts passing through an unconditioned space must be
insulated and covered with a vapor barrier.
If a plenum return is used on a vertical unit, the return
should be ducted through the roof deck to comply with applicable fire codes.
A minimum clearance is not required around ductwork.
Cabinet return-air static shall not exceed −.25 in. wg.
Step 4 — Provide Clearances — The required mini-
mum operating and service clearances are shown in
Fig. 2-9. Adequate combustion, ventilation, and condenser
air must be provided, in accordance with section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI (American National Standards Institute) Z223.1 (in
Canada, sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 or Can/CGA [Canadian Gas
Association] B149 Installation Codes), or applicable provisions of local building code.
Do not restrict condenser airflow. An air restriction at
either the outdoor-air inlet or the fan discharge can be
detrimental to compressor life.
The condenser fan pushes air through the condenser coil
and dischargesit through the bank of louvers in thetop cover,
the decorative grille on the right side of the unit, and the
compressor access panel. Be sure that the fan discharge does
not recirculate to the condenser coil. Do not locate the unit
in either a corner or under an overhead obstruction. Theminimum clearance under a partial overhang (such as a normal
house overhang) is 48-in. above the unit top. The maximum
horizontal extension of a partial overhang must not exceed
48 inches.
Do not place the unit where water, ice, or snow from an
overhang or roof will damage or flood the unit. Do not install the unit on carpeting, tile, or other combustible materials. The unit may be installed on wood flooring or on
Class A, B, or C roof covering materials.
Step 5 — Rig and Place Unit
When installing the unit on a rooftop, be sure the roof
will support the additional weight. Refer to Fig. 2-9 for
corner weight information.
Use spreader bars or crate top when rigging the unit. The
units must be rigged for lifting as shown in Fig. 12 and 13.
Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for operating weight and to Fig. 2-9
for corner weights. Use extreme caution to prevent damage
when moving the unit. Unit must remain in an upright position during all rigging and moving operations. The unit
must be level for proper condensate drainage; therefore, the
ground-level pad or accessory roof curb must be level before setting the unit in place. When a field-fabricated support is used, be sure that the support is level and properly
supports the unit.

UNITS WITH OPTIONAL BASE RAIL — Lifting holes
are provided in optional base rail as shown in Fig. 13. Operating weights are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Refer to rigging instructions on unit.
Protective wood support must be removed from unit before unit is mounted to curb. Remove 4 screws that secure
support above riggingholes in rails. Slide support out through
rectangular hole in rail. See Fig. 13.
Step 6 — Connect Condensate Drain
NOTE: When installing condensatedrain connection be sure
to comply with local codes and restrictions.
Model 48SS,SX disposes of condensate water through a
3
⁄4in. NPT fitting which exits through the compressor access
panel. See Fig. 2-9 for location.
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in
rooftop installations (where permitted)or onto a gravel apron
in ground-level installations. Install a field-supplied condensate trap at end of condensate connection to ensure proper
drainage. Make sure that the outlet of the trap is at least
1 in. lower than the drain-pan condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. See Fig. 14. Prime the trap
with water. When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes
away from the unit.
If the installation requires draining the condensate water
away from the unit, install a 2-in. trap at the condensate connection to ensure proper drainage. See Fig. 14. Make sure
that the outlet of the trapis at least 1 in. lower than the drainpan condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. Prime the trap with water. Connect a drain tube using a minimum of
3
⁄4-in. PVC or3⁄4-in. copper pipe (all fieldsupplied) at the outlet end of the 2-in. trap. Do not undersize
the tube. Pitch the drain tube downward at a slope of at least
one in. for every 10 ft of horizontal run. Be sure to check the
drain tube for leaks.
Fig. 14 — Condensate Trap
Step 7 — Install Flue Hood — The flue hood as-
sembly is shipped screwed to the control box in the burner
compartment. Remove the burner access panel to locate the
assembly.
For units being installed in California Air Quality Management Districts which require NO
40 nanograms/joule or less, kit CRLOWNOX001A00 must
be installed.
The venting system is designed to ensure proper venting. The flue hood assembly must be installed as indicated in this section of the unit installation instructions.
Install the flue hood as follows:
1. This installation must conform with local building codes
and withthe National FuelGas Code (NFGC),ANSI Z223.1
(in Canada,CAN/CGA B149.1, andB149.2) or NFPA(National Fire Protection Association) latest revision. Refer
emissions of
x
to Provincial and local plumbingor wastewater codes and
other applicable local codes.
2. Remove from shipping location. Place vent cap assembly
over flue panel. Orient screw holes in vent cap with holes
in the flue panel.
3. Secure flue hood to flue panel by inserting a single screw
on the right side, the left side, and the top of the hood.
Step 8 — Install Gas Piping — The gas supply pipe
enters the unit through the access hole provided. The gas
connection to the unit is made to the1⁄2-in. FPT gas inlet on
the manual shutoff or gas valve.
Install a gas supply line that runs to the heating section.
Refer to Table 3 and the NFGC for gas pipe sizing. Do notuse cast-iron pipe. It is recommended that a black iron pipe
is used. Check the local utility for recommendations concerning existing lines. Size gas supply piping for 0.5 in. wg
maximum pressure drop. Never use pipe smaller than the
1
⁄2-in. FPT gas inlet on the unit gas valve.
For natural gas applications, the gas pressure at unit gas
connection must not be less than 4.0 in. wg or greater than
13 in. wg while the unit is operating. For propane applications, the gas pressure must not be less than 4.0 in. wg or
greater than 13 in. wg at the unit connection.
1
An
⁄8-in. NPT plugged tapping accessible for test gage
connection must be installed immediately upstream of the
gas supply connection to the furnace.
When installing the gas supply line, observe local codes
pertaining to gas pipe installations.Refer to the NFGC ANSI
Z223.1-1988 NFPA latest edition (in Canada, CAN/CGA
B149.1, (2)-M86). In the absence of local building codes,
adhere to the following pertinent recommendations:
1. Avoid low spots in long runs of pipe. Grade all pipe
1
⁄4inch in every 15 ft to prevent traps. Grade all horizontal runs downward to risers. Use risers to connect to
heating section and to meter.
2. Protect all segmentsof piping system against physical and
thermal damage.Support all piping with appropriatestraps,
hangers, etc. Use a minimum of one hanger every 6 ft.
For pipe sizes larger than
of national codes.
3. Apply joint compound (pipe dope) sparingly and only to
male threads of joint when making pipe connections. Use
only pipe dope that is resistant to action of liquefied
petroleum gasesas specified by local and/ornational codes.
Never use Teflon tape.
4. Install sediment trap in riser leading to heating section
per Fig. 15. This drip leg functions as a trap for dirt and
condensate.
5. Install an accessible, external, manual main shutoff valve
in gas supply pipe within 6 ft of heating section.
6. Install ground-joint union close to heating section between unit manual shutoff and external manual main shutoff valve.
7. Pressure-test all gas piping in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before connecting piping to unit.
NOTE: Pressure test the gas supply system after the gas
supply piping is connected to the gas valve. The supply
piping must be disconnected from the gas valve during
the testing of the piping systems when test pressure is in
excess of 0.5 psig. Pressure test the gas supply piping
system at pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psig. The
unit heating section must be isolated from the gas piping
system by closing the external main manual shutoff valve
and slightly opening the ground-joint union.

CONTROLVOLTAGECONNECTIONS;NONINTEGRATED CONTROL MOTOR (NON-ICM) UNITS
— Locate the room thermostat on an inside wall in the space
to be conditioned, where it will not be subjected to either a
cooling orheating source or direct exposureto sunlight. Mount
the thermostat 4 to 5 ft above the floor.
NOTE: Do not use any type of power-stealing thermostat.
Unit control problems may result.
Use no. 18 American Wire Gage (AWG) color-coded, insulated (35 C minimum) wires to make the control voltage
connections between the thermostat and the unit. If the thermostat is located more than 100 ft from the unit (as measured along thecontrol voltage wires), use no. 16AWGcolorcoded, insulated (35 C minimum) wires.
Standard Connection — Remove knockout hole located in
the flue panel adjacent to the control access panel. See
Fig. 2-9. Remove the rubber grommet from the installer’s
packet (included with unit)and install grommet in the knockout opening. Provide a drip loop before running wire through
panel.
Run the low-voltage leads from the thermostat, through
the inlet hole, and into unit low-voltage splice box.
Locate five 18-gage wires leaving control box. These lowvoltage connection leads can be identified by the colors red,
green, yellow, brown, and white. (See Fig. 21.) Ensure the
leads are long enoughto be routed into the low-voltage splice
box (located below right side of control box). Cut wires at
the point where they exit control box; do NOT cut yellow
wire on 48SX024,030 units. Stripped yellow wire is located
in connection box. Route leads through hole in bottom of
control box and make low-voltage connections as shown in
Fig. 21. Secure all cut wires, so that they do not interfere
with operation of unit.
Alternate Connection — Removeknockout in compressorfixed
panel located below high-voltageknockout. Remove the rubber grommet from the installer’s packet (included with unit)
and install grommet in the knockout opening. Route thermostat wires through grommet providing drip loop at panel.
Connect low-voltage leads as shown in Fig. 21. On 48SX024
and 030 units, the yellow wire originating from discharge
thermostat of compressor must be cut and routed into lowvoltage section of junction box.
CONTROL VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS; INTEGRATED
CONTROL MOTOR (ICM) UNITS
Routing Control Power Wires (24 v) — Remove knockout
in the compressor fixed access panel located below the highvoltage knockout. Remove the rubber grommet from the installer’s packet (included with unit) and install grommet in
the knockout opening. Routethermostat wires through grommet providing drip loop at panel. Connect low-voltage leads
to the thermostat.
Alternate Connection (24 v) — Remove knockout in the flue
panel adjacent to the control access panel. Remove the rubber grommet from the installer’s packet (included with unit)
and install grommet in the knockout opening. Provide a drip
loop before running wire through panel. Run the lowvoltage leads from the thermostat, through the inlet hole, and
into the unit low-voltage splice box.
Connecting to Easy Select Interface Board — The Easy Select interface board is located in the control box area. The
Easy Select interface board is factory wired to the motor,
and factory default selections are preset.
Locate the five 18-gage thermostat lead wires of plug assembly 1 (PL1) attached to the Easy Select interface board
(See Fig. 22 and wiring diagrams for units 48SX048 and
060 on pages 31 and 33.) These low voltage connection leads
are identified by the colors red, green, yellow, brown, and
white. Cut the wires between the 2 wire ties approximately
4 in. from the plug. Connect low-voltage leads to the thermostat. Secure all cut wires in the control and splice boxes
so they do not interfere with the proper operation of the unit.

HEAT ANTICIPATOR SETTING — The room thermostat
heat anticipator must be properly adjusted to ensure proper
heating performance. Set the heat anticipator, using an ammeter between the W and R terminals to determine the
exact required setting.
NOTE: For thermostat selection purposes, use 0.18 amp for
the approximate required setting.
Failure to make a proper heat anticipator adjustment will
result in improper operation, discomfort to the occupants of
the conditioned space,and ineff icientenergy utilization; however, the required setting may be changed slightly to provide
a greater degree of comfort for a particular installation.
TRANSFORMER PROTECTION — The unit transformer
protection may be one of 2 types.
The first transformer type may containan auto. reset overcurrent protector for control circuit protection. If this device
trips, it may reset without warning, starting the heating or
cooling section of this product. Use caution when servicing;
if overcurrent protector continues to trip, there is a problem
in the low-voltageelectrical circuit, such as an electricalshort,
ground, or transformer overload. Disconnect power, correct
the condition, and check for normal unit operation.
The second transformer typeis of the energy-limiting type.
It is set to withstand a 30-second overload or shorted
secondary condition.
PRE-START-UP
Failure to observe the following warnings could result
in serious personal injury:
1. Follow recognized safety practices and wear protective goggles when checking or servicing refrigerant
system.
2. Do not operate compressor or provide any electric
power to unit unless compressor terminal cover is in
place and secured.
3. Do not remove compressor terminal cover until all

4. Relieve and reclaim all refrigerant from system before touching or disturbing anything inside terminal
box if refrigerant leak is suspected around compressor terminals.
5. Never attempt to repair soldered connection while refrigerant system is under pressure.
6. Do not use torch to remove any component. System
contains oil and refrigerant under pressure. To remove a component, wear protective goggles and proceed as follows:
a. Shut off gas supply and then electrical power to
unit.
b. Relieve and reclaim all refrigerant from system
using both high- and low-pressure ports.
c. Cut component connectingtubing with tubing cut-
ter and remove component from unit.
d. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when
necessary. Oil can ignite when exposed to torch
flame.
Proceed as follows to inspect and prepare the unit for ini-
tial start-up:
1. Remove all access panels.
2. Read and follow instructions on all WARNING, CAUTION, and INFORMATION labels attached to, or shipped
with, unit.
3. Make the following inspections:
a. Inspect for shippingand handling damages such as bro-
ken lines, loose parts, disconnected wires, etc.
b. Inspect for oil at allrefrigerant tubing connections and
on unit base. Detecting oil generally indicates a refrigerant leak. Leak-test all refrigerant tubing connections using electronic leak detector, halide torch, or
liquid-soap solution. If a refrigerant leak is detected,
see Check for Refrigerant Leaks section on page 23.
c. Inspect all field- and factory-wiring connections. Be
sure that connections are completed and tight.
d. Inspect coil fins. If damaged during shipping and han-
dling, carefully straighten fins with a fin comb.
4. Verify the following conditions:

for gas leaks. Failure to follow this warning could
result inan explosion causing personalinjury or death.
Page 23
a. Before lighting the unit for the first time, perform the
following: If the gas supply pipe was not purged before connecting the unit, it will be full of air. It is recommended that the ground joint union be loosened,
and the supply line be allowed to purge until the odor
of gas is detected. Never purge gas lines into a combustion chamber. Immediately upon detection of gas
odor, retighten the union. Allow 5 minutes to elapse,
then light unit.
b. Make sure that condenser-fan blade is correctly posi-
tioned in fan orifice. Leading edge of condenser-fan
blade should be

1. Locate leak and make sure that refrigerant system pressure has been relieved and reclaimed from both high- and
low-pressure ports.
2. Repair leak following accepted practices.
NOTE: Install a filter drier whenever the system has been
opened for repair.
3. Add a small charge of R-22 refrigerant vapor to system
and leak-test unit.
4. Evacuate and reclaim refrigerant from refrigerant system
if additional leaks are not found.
5. Charge unit with R-22 refrigerant, using a volumetriccharging cylinder or accurate scale. Refer to unit ratingplate for required charge. Be sure to add extra refrigerant
to compensate for internal volume of filter drier.
Proceed as follows
Start Up Heating Section and Make
Adjustments
Complete the required procedures given inPre-Start-Up
section on page 22 before starting the unit.
Do not jumper any safety devices when operating the unit.
Make sure that burner orifices are properly aligned. Unstable operation may occur when the burner orifices in the
manifold are misaligned.
Follow the lighting instructions on the heating section
operation label (located inside the burner or blower access
door) to start the heating section.
NOTE: Make sure that gas supply has been purged, and that
all gas piping has been checked for leaks.
CHECK HEATING CONTROL — Start and check the unit
for proper heating control operation as follows. (See furnace
lighting instructions located inside burner or blower access
panel.)
1. Place the room thermostat SYSTEM switch in the HEAT
position and the fan switch in the AUTO. position.
2. Set theheating temperature control of thethermostat above
room temperature.
3. The induced-draft motor will start.
4. After a call forheating, the main burner should light with-
in 5 seconds. If the burners do not light, there is a
22-second delay before another 5-second try. If the burners still do not light, this sequence is repeated. If the burners do not light within 15 minutes from the initial call for
heat, there is a lockout. To reset the control, break the
24-v power to W.
5. The evaporator fan willturn on 45 seconds after the flame
has been established. The evaporator fan will turn off
45 seconds after the thermostat has been satisfied.
CHECK GAS INPUT— Check gas input and manifold pressure after unit start-up. (See Table 5.) If adjustment is
required proceed as follows.
The rated gas inputs shown in Table 5 are for altitudes from sea level to 2000 ft above sea level. These inputs are based on natural gas with a heating value of
1050 Btu/ft
a heating value of 2500 Btu/ft3at 1.5 specific gravity.
For elevations above 2000 ft, reduce input 4% for each
1000 ft above sea level. When the gas supply being used has
a different heating value or specific gravity, refer to national
and local codes, or contact your distributor to determine the
required orifice size.
These units are designed to consume the rated gas inputs using the fixed orifices at specified manifold pressures as shown in Table 5. DO NOT REDRILL THE
ORIFICES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
ADJUST GAS INPUT — The gas input to the unit is
determined by measuring the gas flow at the meter or by
measuring the manifold pressure. Measuring the gas flow at
the meter is recommended for natural gas units. The manifold pressure must be measured to determine the input of
propane gas units.

*When a unit is converted to propane, different size orifices must be used. See separate natural-to-propane conversion kit
instructions.
†Based on altitudes from sea level to 2000 ft above sea level. For altitudes above 2000 ft: reduce input rating 4% for each
additional 1000 ft above 2000 ft. In Canada, from 2000 ft above sea level to 4500 ft above sea level, derate the unit 10%.

Measure Gas Flow (Natural Gas Units) — Minor adjustment to the gas flow can be made by changing the manifold pressure. The manifold pressure must be maintained
between 3.4 and 3.6 in. wg. If larger adjustments are required, change main burner orifices following the recommendations of national and local codes.
NOTE:All other appliances that use the same meter must be
turned off when gas flow is measured at the meter.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn off gas supply to unit.
2. Remove pipe plug on manifold (see Fig. 24), then connect manometer at this point. Turn on gas to unit.
3. Record number of seconds for gas meter test dial to make
one revolution.
4. Divide number of seconds in Step 3 into 3600 (number
of seconds in one hour).
5. Multiply result of Step 4 by the number of cu ft shown
for one revolution of test dial to obtain cu ft of gas flow
per hour.
6. Multiply result of Step 5 by Btu heating value of gas to
obtain total measured input in Btuh. Compare this value
with heating input shown in Table 5. (Consult the local
gas supplier if the heating value of gas is not known.)
EXAMPLE: Assume that the size of test dial is 1 cu ft, one
revolution takes 30 seconds, and the heating value of the gas
is 1050 Btu/ft

Measure ManifoldPressure (Propane Units) — The main burner
orifices on a propane gas unit are sized for the unit rated
input when the manifold pressure reading matches the level
specified in Table 5.
Proceed as follows to adjust gas input on a propane gas
unit:
1. Turn off gas to unit.
2. Remove pipe plug on manifold (see Fig. 24), then connect manometer at this point.
3. Turn on gas to unit.
4. Remove cover screw over regulator adjustment screw on
gas valve.
5. Adjust regulator adjustment screw to the correct manifold pressure, as specified in Table 5. Turn adjusting
screw clockwise to increase manifold pressure, or turn
adjusting screw counterclockwise to decrease manifold
pressure.
6. Replace cover screw.
7. Turn off gas to unit. Remove manometer from pressure
tap. Replace pipe plug on gas valve, then turn on gas to
unit. Check for leaks.
CHECK BURNER FLAME — Withburner access panel removed, observe the unit heating operation. Watch the burner
flames to see if they are light blue and soft in appearance,
and thatthe flames are approximately thesame for each burner .
Propane will have blue flame with yellow tips. See Fig. 25.
Refer to Maintenance section for information on burner
removal.

HEATING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION — See Fig. 26-33
and unit wiring label.
On a call for heating, terminal ‘‘W’’ of the thermostat is
energized, starting the induced-draft motor. When the halleffect sensor on the induced-draft motor senses that it has
reached the required speed, the burner sequence begins. This
function is performed by the integrated gas control (IGC).
The evaporator-fanmotor is energized 45 seconds after flame
is established. When the thermostat is satisfied and ‘‘W’’ is
deenergized, the burners stop firing and the evaporator-fan
motor shuts off after a 45-second time-off delay.
A LED (light-emitting diode) indicator is provided on the
control board to monitor operation. The control board is located by removing the burner access panel. During normal
operation, the LED is continuously on. See Table 7 for error
codes.

2. If more than one error code exists, all applicable error codes will
be displayed in numerical sequence.
3. This chart is on the wiring diagram located inside the burner ac-
cess panel.
LIMIT SWITCHES — Normally-closed limit switch (LS)
completes the control circuit through the thermostat R circuit. Should the leaving-air temperature riseabove the maximum allowable temperature, the limit switch opens and the
R control circuit ‘‘breaks.’’Any interruption in the R control
circuit instantly closes the gas valve and stops gas flow to
the burners and pilot. The blower motor continues to run until LS resets.
When the air temperature at the limit switch drops to the
low-temperature setting of the limit switch, the switch closes
and completes the R control circuit. The electric-spark ignition system cycles and the unit returns to normal heating
operation.
AUXILIARYLIMIT SWITCH — ROLLOUT — The function of the switch is to close the main gas valve in the event
of flame rollout. The switch is located above the main burners. When the temperature at the auxiliary switch reaches
the maximum allowable temperature, the R control circuit
trips, closing the gas valve and stopping gas flow to the burners. The indoor (evaporator) fan motor (IFM) and induced
draft motor continue to run until switch is reset.
Start Up Cooling Section and Make
Adjustments
Complete the required procedures given in the PreStart-Up section on page 22 before starting the unit.
Do not jumper any safety devices when operating the
unit.
Do not operate the compressor when the outdoor temperature is below 40 F (unless accessory low-ambient
kit is installed).
Do not rapid-cycle the compressor. Allow 5 minutes between ‘‘on’’ cycles to prevent compressor damage.
CHECKING COOLING CONTROL OPERATION — Start
and check the unit for proper cooling control operation as
follows:
1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF position.
Observe thatblower motor startswhen FANswitch is placed
in ON positionand shuts down when FAN switch is placed
in AUTO. position.
2. Place SYSTEM switchin COOL position and FAN switch
in AUTO. position. Set cooling control below room temperature. Observethat compressor,condenser fan,and evaporator blower motors start. Observe that cooling
cycle shuts down when control setting is satisfied. The
evaporator fan will continue to run for 30 seconds.
3. When using an auto.-changeover room thermostat, place
both SYSTEM and FAN switches in AUTO. positions.
Observe that unit operates in heating mode when temperature control is set to ‘‘call for heating’’(above room
temperature) and operates in cooling mode when temperature control is set to ‘‘call for cooling’’ (below room
temperature).
IMPORTANT: Three-phase, scroll compressor units
(48SS048,060 and48SX036-060) are direction-oriented.
These units must be checked to ensure proper compressor 3-phase power lead orientation. If not corrected within 5 minutes, theinternal protector will shut
offthe compressor.The 3-phase power leads to the unit
must bereversed to correct rotation.When turning backwards, scroll compressors emit elevated noise levels,
and the difference between compressorsuction and discharge pressures may be dramatically lower than
normal.

CHECKINGANDADJUSTING REFRIGERANT CHARGE
— The refrigerant system is fully charged with R-22 refrigerant, tested, and factory-sealed.
EVAPORATOR AIRFLOW AND AIRFLOW
ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required
unless the unit is suspected of not having the proper R-22
charge.
A superheat charging label is attached to the inside of the
compressor accessdoor.The label includesa ‘‘SuperheatCharging Table’’and a ‘‘Required Suction-Tube (F) Temperature’’
chart.
An accurate superheat, thermocouple-, or thermistor-type
thermometer, a sling psychrometer, and a gage manifold are
required when usingthe superheat charging method forevaluating the unit charge. Do not use mercury or small dial-type
thermometers because they are not adequate for this type of
measurement.
When evaluating the refrigerant charge,an indicated adjustment to the specified factory charge must always be
very minimal. If a substantial adjustment is indicated,
an abnormal condition exists somewhere in the cooling
system, such as insufficient airflow across either coil or
both coils.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove caps from low- and high-pressure service
fittings.
2. Using hoses with valve core depressors, attach low- and
high-pressure gage hoses to low- and high-pressure service fittings, respectively.
3. Start unit in cooling mode and let unit run until system
pressures stabilize.
4. Measure and record the following:
a. Outdoor ambient-air temperature (F db).
b. Evaporator inlet-air temperature (F wb).
c. Suction-tube temperature (F) at low-side service
fitting.
d. Suction (low-side) pressure (psig).
5. Using ‘‘SuperheatCharging Table,’’ compare outdoor-air
temperature (F db) with evaporator inlet-air temperature
(F wb) to determine desired system operating superheat
temperature. See Tables 8A-8H and 9A-9F.
6. Using ‘‘Required Suction-Tube (F) Temperature’’ table,
compare desired superheat temperaturewith suction (lowside) operating pressure (psig) to determine proper suctiontube temperature. See Table 10.
7. Compare actual suction-tube temperature with proper
suction-tube temperature. Using a toleranceof ± 3° F,add
refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 3° F higher
than proper suction-tube temperature, or remove refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 3° F lower than
required suction-tube temperature.
NOTE: If the problem causing the inaccurate readings is a
refrigerant leak, refer to Check for Refrigerant Leaks section on page 23.
For cooling operation, the recommended airflow is 350
to 450 cfm for each 12,000 Btuh of rated cooling capacity. For heating operation, the airflow must produce
a temperature rise that falls within the range stamped on
the unit rating plate.
T able6 shows the temperature rise at variousairflow rates.
Tables 11-14 show both heating and cooling airflows at various external static pressures. See Tables 15 and 16 for ICM
(Integrated Control Motor) units air delivery. Refer to these
tables to determine the airflow for the system being installed. See Table 17 for wet coil pressure drop.
NOTE: Be surethat all supply- and return-air grilles areopen,
free from obstructions, and adjusted properly.
Shut off gas supply then disconnect electrical power to
the unit before changing blower speed. Electrical shock
can cause personal injury or death.
Airflow can be changed by changing the lead connections
of the blower motor.
Unit 48SS two- or 3-speed motors (except size 030) are
factory wired for low speed operation. Unit 48SS030 is factory wired for medium speed. Units 48SX024,036, and 048
(460 v) two- or 3-speed motors are factory wired for low
speed; units 48SX030 and 042 are factory wired for medium
speed.

COOLING SEQUENCE OFOPERATION— Withthe room
thermostat SYSTEM switch in the COOL position and the
FAN switch in the AUTO. position, the cooling sequence of
operation is as follows:
When the room temperature rises to a point that is slightly
above the cooling control setting of the thermostat, the thermostat completes the circuit between thermostat terminal R
to terminals Y and G. These completed circuits through the
thermostat connect contactor coil (C) (through unit wire Y)
and blower relay coil (BR) (through unit wire G) across the
24-v secondary of transformer (TRAN).
NOTE: The blower relay coil (BR) is used on standard nonICM units, ICM units use evaporator (indoor) fan on (IFO)
connection.
The normally-opencontacts of energized contactor(C) close
and complete the circuit through compressormotor (COMP)
to condenser (outdoor) fan motor (OFM). Both motors start
instantly.
On standard non-ICM units, theset of normally-open contacts of energized relay BR close and complete the circuit
through evaporator blower(indoor) fan motor (IFM). OnICM
units, the IFO completes the circuit through evaporatorblower
IFM. The blower motor starts instantly.
NOTE: Once thecompressor has started and thenhas stopped,
it should not be started again until 5 minutes have elapsed.
The cooling cycle remains ‘‘on’’ until the room temperature drops to point that is slightly below the cooling control
setting of the room thermostat. At this point, the thermostat
‘‘breaks’’ the circuit between thermostat terminal R to terminals Y and G. These open circuits deenergize contactor
coil C and relay coil BR. The condenser and compressor motors stop. After a 30-second delay, the blower motor stops.
The unit is in a ‘‘standby’’ condition, waiting for the next
‘‘call for cooling’’ from the room thermostat.

unit nameplate information.
Check ignitor and flame sensor electrode spacing,
gaps, etc. Ensure that flame sense and ignition wires
are properly terminated. Verify that unit is obtaining
proper amount of gas.
Check for proper voltage. If motor is operating, check
the speed sensor plug/IGC Terminal J2 connection.
Proper connection: PIN 1 — White, PIN 2 — Red,
PIN 3 — Black.
continue to lockout unit. Check gas valve operation.
Ensure that induced-draft blower wheel is properly
secured to motor shaft. Reset unit at unit disconnect.
If error code is not cleared by resetting unit power,
replace the IGC.
If the IGC must be replaced, be sure to ground yourself to dissipate any electrical charge that may be present before handling new control board. The IGC is sensitive to static electricity
andmay bedamaged ifthe necessaryprecautions arenot taken.
