RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step 1 - Check Equipment
IDENTIFY UNIT — The unit model number and serial num
ber 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 dam
aged or is torn loose 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, leave all parts in original pack
ages 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 ap
plied gasketing can also result in air leaks and poor
unit performance.
Curb should be level to within Vi inch. 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 or relocated to
allow unit to be mounted flush against transitions that ex
tend below basepan of unit. To move skirt, proceed as
follows:
1. Remove 4 screws holding skirt to base rail Retain screws.
2. Remove skirt or slide skirt inwards until alternate clear
ance holes align with base rails.
3. Secure with screws removed in Step 1. Holes align with
base rails.
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 dis
charge units. Do not connect ductwork to unit. For horizon
tal applications, field-supplied flanges should be attached
to horizontal discharge openings and 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 ap
plicable 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 min
imum operating and service clearances are shown in
Fig. 2-9. Adequate combustion, ventilation, and condenser
air must be provided.
A CAUTION
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 discharges it through the bank of louvers in the top
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.
The minimum 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 in
stall the unit on carpeting, tile, or other combustible mate
rials. The unit may be installed on wood flooring or on
Class A, B, or C roof covering materials.
Step 5 — Rig and Place Unit
A CAUTION
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 po
sition 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 be
fore setting the unit in place. When a field-fabricated sup
port is used, be sure that the support is level and properly
Hook rigging shackles through holes in lifting brackets, as shown in
Detail “A ” Lifting brackets to be centered around the unit center of
gravity. Use wood top skid when rigging, to prevent rigging straps
from damaging unit. Remove 4 screws to slide wood support through
rectangular hole in rail
A CAUTION
All panels must be in place when rigging.

UNITS WITHOUT BASE RAIL - If accessory rigging
brackets are to be used for rigging, install them as follows:
A WARNING
Secure screws and paint protectors solidly against unit
basepan to hold lifting brackets in position.
Never use lifting brackets when the temperature is be
low -10 F.
Never exceed 200 lbs per bracket of lifting force.
Never use lifting brackets for lifting other models of
air-conditioning units.
Lifting point should be directly over the unit center of
gravity.
1. Position brackets as close to the corners of unit as pos
sible. Be sure brackets are well outside of center of grav
ity. (See Fig. 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12.).
2. Position paint protectors and foam strips between screws
and painted surface of unit. Tighten screws until they
make contact with the paint protectors.
3. Secure device or hook of sufficient strength to hole in
bracket as shown in detail “A” of Fig. 12.
4. If wood top is available, use it for a spreader bar to pre
vent straps from damaging unit. If wood top is not avail
able, use spreader bars of sufficient length.

Page 13
UNITS WITH OPTIONAL BASE RAIL - Lifting holes
are provided in optional base rail as shown in Fig. 12. Op
erating weights are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Refer to Rig
ging instructions on unit.
Protective wood support must be removed from unit be
fore unit is mounted to curb. Remove 4 screws that secure
support above rigging holes in rails. Slide support out through
rectangular hole in rail. See Fig. 13.
Step 6 — Connect Condensate Drain
NOTE: When installing condensate drain connection be sure
to comply with local codes and restrictions.
Model 48SS,SX disposes of condensate water through a
¥4 in. NPT fitting which exits through the compressor ac
cess panel. See Fig. 2-9 for location.
Install field-supplied condensate trap at end of conden
sate connection to ensure proper drainage. See Fig. 14.
V'MIN.
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. 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 overflow
ing. Prime the trap with water. Connect a drain tube using
a minimum of y4-in. PVC or V4-m. copper pipe (all fieldsupplied) at the outlet end of the 2-in. trap. Do not under
size 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.
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in
rooftop installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel apron
in ground-level installations. When using a gravel apron,
make sure it slopes away from the unit.
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.
A CAUTION
The venting system is designed to ensure proper vent
ing. The flue hood assembly must be Installed as indi
cated in this section of the unit installation instructions.
Install the flue hood as follows:
1. Remove from shipping location. Place vent cap assem
bly over flue panel. Orient screw holes in vent cap with
holes in the flue panel.
2. Secure flue hood to flue panel by inserting a single
screw on the right side, the left side, and the top of flue
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 the '/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 National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC)
for gas pipe sizing.
mended that a black iron pipe is used. Check the local util
ity for recommendations concerning existing lines. Size gas
supply piping for 0.5 in. wg maximum pressure drop. Never
use pipe smaller than the Vi-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 applica
tions, the gas pressure must not be less than 4.0 in. wg or
greater than 13 in. wg at the unit connection.
When installing the gas supply line, observe local codes
pertaining to gas pipe installations. Refer to the NFGC ANSI
(American National Standard’s Institute) Z223.1-1988 NFPA
(National Fire Protection Association) 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
'/4 inch in every 15 ft to prevent traps. Grade all hori
zontal runs downward to risers. Use risers to connect to
heating section and to meter.
2. Protect all segments of piping system against physical
and thermal damage. Support all piping with appro
priate straps, hangers, etc. Use a minimum of one hanger
every 6 ft. For pipe sizes larger than
ommendations 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 gases as specified by local and/or national 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 be
tween unit manual shutoff and external manual main shut
off valve.
7. Pressure-test all gas piping in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before connecting pip
ing 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 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.
Do not use cast-iron pipe. It is recom

electrical ground to minimize the possibility of per
sonal injury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground
may consist of an electrical wire connected to the unit
ground lug in the control compartment, or conduit ap
proved for electrical ground when installed in accor
dance with NEC (National Electrical Code) ANSI/
NFPA (latest edition) (in Canada, Canadian Electrical
Code CSA [Canadian Standards Association] C22.1)
and local electrical codes. Do not use gas piping as an
electrical ground. Failure to adhere to this warning could
result in personal injury or death.
A CAUTION
Failure to follow these precautions could result in dam
age to the unit being installed:
1. Make all electrical connections in accordance with NEC
ANSI/NFPA (latest edition) and local electrical codes
governing such wiring. In Canada, all electrical connec
tions must be in accordance with CSA standard C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and applicable local codes.
Refer to unit wiring diagram.
2. Use only copper conductor for connections between fieldsupplied electrical disconnect switch and unit. DO NOT
USE ALUMINUM WIRE.
3. Be sure that high-voltage power to unit is within oper
ating voltage range indicated on unit rating plate.
4. Do not damage internal components when drilling through
any panel to mount electrical hardware, conduit, etc. On
3-phase units, ensure phases are balanced within 2 per
cent. Consult local power company for correction of im
proper voltage and/or phase imbalance.
HIGH-VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS - The unit must have
a separate electrical service with a field-supplied, water
proof, disconnect switch mounted at, or within sight from,
the unit. Refer to the unit rating plate for maximum fuse/
circuit breaker size and minimum circuit amps (ampacity)
for wire sizing. See Table 4 for electrical data.
The field-supplied disconnect switch box may be mounted
on the unit over the high-voltage inlet hole when the
standard power and low-voltage entry points are used. See
Fig. 2-9 for acceptable location.
Standard Power Entry — Proceed as follows to complete
the high-voltage connections to the unit:
1. Connect ground lead to chassis ground connection when
using separate ground wire.
2. Run high-voltage leads into unit control box.
3. Locate black and yellow wires connected to line side of
contactor.
4. Cut wires at partition where they exit control box.
5. Strip back leads and connect to high voltage leads. On
3-phase units, blue wire is provided stripped back and
ready to connect to high voltage lead. See unit wiring

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR 208-V OPERATION
A WARNING
Make sure that the gas supply then the power supply to
the unit is switched OFF before making any wiring
changes. Electrical shock can cause personal injury or
death.
Disconnect the orange transformer-primary lead from the
contactor. See unit wiring label.
Remove the tape and wirenut from the terminal on the
end of the red transformer-primary lead.
Save the wirenut.
Connect the red lead to the contactor terminal from which
the orange lead was disconnected.
Using the wirenut removed from the red lead, insulate
the loose terminal on the orange lead.
Wrap the cover with electrical tape so that the metal ter
6.
minal cannot be seen.
CONTROL VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS - Locate the room
thermostat on an inside wall in the space to be conditioned,
where it will not be subjected to either a cooling or heating
source or direct exposure to 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 volt
age connections between the thermostat and the unit. If the
thermostat is located more than 100 ft from the unit (as
measured along the control voltage wires), use no. 16 AWG
color-coded, insulated (35 C minimum) wires.
Standard Connection — A grommeted, control-voltage in
let hole is located in the flue panel adjacent to the control
access panel. See Fig 2-9. Provide a drip loop before run
ning 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.) Cut wires
at the point where they exit control box. On 48SX024,030,
do not cut yellow wire. Stripped yellow lead is located in
connection box. Ensure the leads are long enough to be routed
into the low-voltage splice box located below the right side
of the control 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 — Remove knockout in compressor
fixed panel located below high-voltage knockout. Remove
rubber grommet from standard low-voltage power entry and
install it in hole left when knockout was removed. 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 low-voltage section of junction box.
HEAT ANTICIPATOR SETTING - The room thermostat
heat anticipator must be properly adjusted to ensure proper
heating performance. Set the heat anticipator, using an am
meter 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 inefficient energy utilization;
however, the required setting may be changed slightly
to provide a greater degree of comfort for a particular
installation.
Recommended thermostats are as follows:

TRANSFORMER PROTECTION - The unit transformer
protection may be one of 2 types.
The first transformer type may contain an auto, reset over
current protector for control circuit protection. If this de
vice trips, it may reset without warning, starting the heat
ing or cooling section of this product. Use caution when
servicing; if overcurrent protector continues to trip, there is
a problem in the low-voltage electrical circuit, such as an
electrical short, ground, or transformer overload. Discon
nect power, correct the condition, and check for normal unit
operation.
The second transformer type is of the energy-limiting type.
It is set to withstand a 30-second overload or shorted
secondary condition.

Start Up Heating Section and Make
Adjustments
A CAUTION
Complete the required procedures given in Pre-Start-Up
section above before starting the unit.
A CAUTION
These units are designed to consume the rated gas in
puts using the fixed orifices at specified manifold pres
sures as shown in Table 5. DO NOT REDRILL THE
ORIEICES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Do not jumper any safety devices when operating the unit.
Make sure that burner orifices are properly aligned. Un
stable 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 fur
nace 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 the heating temperature control of the thermostat above
room temperature.
3. The induced-draft motor will start.
4. After a call for heating, the main burner should light
within 5 seconds. If the burners do not light, there is a
22-second delay before another 5-second try. If the burn
ers 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 will turn 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 pres
sure after unit start-up. (See Table 5.) If adjustment is
required proceed as follows.
The rated gas inputs shown in Table 5 are for al
titudes from sea level to 2000 ft above sea level. These in
puts are based on natural gas with a heating value of
1050 Btu/ft^ at 0.65 specific gravity, or propane gas with
a heating value of 2500 Btu/ft^ at 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 na
tional and local codes, or contact your distributor to deter
mine the required orifice size.
Table 5 — Rated Gas Inputs at
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 man
ifold pressure must be measured to determine the input of
propane gas units.
Measure Gas Flow (Natural Gas Units) — Minor adjust
ment to the gas flow can be made by changing the man
ifold 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 rec
ommendations 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. 23), then con
nect 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^. Proceed as follows:
1. 30 seconds to complete one revolution.
2. 3600 ^ 30 = 120.
3. 120 X 1 = 120 ft^ of gas flow/hr.
4. 120 X 1050 = 126,000 Btuh input.
If the desired gas input is 120,000 Btuh, only a minor
change in the manifold pressure is required.
Indicated Manifold Pressures
When a unit is converted to propane, different size orifices must be used. See separate natural-topropane conversion kit instructions.
tBased on aititudes from sea ievei to 2000 ft above sea ievei. For aititudes above 2000 ft, reduce input
rating 4% for each 1000 ft above sea ievei. In Canada, from 2000 ft above sea level to 4500 ft above
sea level, derate the unit 10%.

Observe manifold pressure and proceed as follows to ad
just gas input:
1. Remove cover screw over regulator adjustment screw
on gas valve.
2. Turn regulator adjustment screw clockwise to increase
gas input, or turn regulator adjustment screw counter
clockwise to decrease input. Manifold pressure must be
between 3.4 and 3.6 in. wg.
A WARNING
Unsafe operation of the unit may result if manifold
pressure is outside this range. Personal injury or unit
damage may result.
3. Replace cover screw cap on gas valve.
4. Turn off gas supply to unit. Remove manometer from
pressure tap and replace pipe plug on gas valve. Turn on
gas to unit and check for leaks.
Measure Manifold Pressure (Propane Units') — The main
burner orifices on a propane gas unit are sized for the unit
rated input when the manifold pressure is 3.5 in. wg.
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. 23), then con
nect 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 for a manifold pres
sure reading of 3.5 in. wg. Turn adjusting screw clock
wise 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.
Table 6 shows the approved temperature-rise range for
each heating input, and the air delivery cfm at various tem
perature rises The heating operation airflow must produce
a temperature rise that falls within the approved range.
Refer to Maintenance section on page 39 to adjust heat
ing airflow when required.
HEATING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION - See Fig. 25-30
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. The
indoor-fan motor is energized 45 seconds after flame is
established. When the thermostat is satisfied and “W” is
deenergized, the burners stop firing and the indoor-fan mo
tor 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 lo
cated by removing the burner access panel. During normal
operation, the LED is continuously on. See chart below for
error codes:

Start Up Cooling Section and Make
Adjustments
A CAUTION
Complete the required procedures given in the Pre-
Start-Up section on page 21 before starting the unit.
Do not jumper any safety devices when operating the
unit.
Do not operate the compressor when the outdoor tem
perature 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 OFE posi
tion. Observe that blower motor starts when FAN switch
is placed in ON position and shuts down when FAN switch
is placed in AUTO, position.
2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch
in AUTO, position. Set cooling control below room tem
perature. Observe that compressor, condenser fan, and
evaporator blower motors start. Observe that cooling
cycle shuts down when control setting is satisfied. The
indoor 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 tem
perature control is set to “call for heating” (above room
temperature) and operates in cooling mode when tem
perature control is set to “call for cooling” (below room
temperature).
IMPORTANT: Scroll compressors in units
48SS048,060 and 48SX036-048 are direction-oriented.
Three-phase units must be checked to ensure proper
compressor 3-phase power lead orientation. If not cor
rected within 5 minutes, the internal protector will shut
off the compressor. The 3-phase power leads to the
unit must be reversed to correct rotation. When turn
ing backwards, scroll compressors emit elevated noise
levels, and the difference between compressor suc
tion and discharge pressures may be dramatically lower
than normal.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING REFRIGERANT CHARGE
— The refrigerant system is fully charged with R-22 refrig
erant, tested, and factory-sealed.
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 access door. The label includes a “Superheat
Charging Table” and a “Required Suction-Tube (F)
Temperature” chart.
An accurate superheat, thermocouple-, or thermistortype thermometer, a sling psychrometer, and a gage mani
fold are required when using the superheat charging method
for evaluating the unit charge. Do not use mercury or small
dial-type thermometers because they are not adequate for
this type of measurement.
A CAUTION
When evaluating the refrigerant charge, an indicated
adjustment to the specified factory charge must always
be very minimal. If a substantial adjustment is indi
cated, 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 serv
ice 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 “Superheat Charging Table,” compare outdoorair temperature (F db) with evaporator inlet-air temper
ature (F wb) to determine desired system operating
superheat temperature. See Tables 7A-7G and 8A-8E.
6. Using “Required Suction-Tube (F) Temperature”
table, compare desired superheat temperature with suc
tion (low-side) operating pressure (psig) to determine proper
suction-tube temperature. See Table 9.
7. Compare actual suction-tube temperature with proper
suction-tube temperature. Using a tolerance of ± 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 sec
tion on page 21.
INDOOR AIRFLOW AND AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENTS
A CAUTION
For cooling operation, the recommended airflow is 350
to 450 cfm for each 12,000 Btuh of rated cooling ca
pacity. For heating operation, the airflow must pro
duce a temperature rise that falls within the range stamped
on the unit rating plate.
Table 6 shows the temperature rise at various airflow rates.
Tables 10-13 show both heating and cooling airflows at var
ious external static pressures. Refer to these tables to de
termine the airflow for the system being installed. See
Table 14 for wet coil pressure drop.
NOTE: Be sure that all supply- and return-air grilles are
open, free from obstructions, and adjusted properly.
A WARNING
Shut off gas supply then disconnect electrical power to
the unit before changing blower speed. Electrical shock
can cause personal injury or death.
30
Page 31
Airflow can be changed by changing the lead connec
tions of the blower motor.
Unit 48SS two- or 3-speed motors (except size 030) are
factory wired for low speed operation. Unit 48SS030 is fac
tory wired for medium speed. Units 488X024,036, and 048
two- or 3-speed motors are factory wired for low speed;
units 488X030 and 042 are factory wired for medium speed.
For 208/230-v and A.O. 8mith 460-v Blower Motors — The
motor leads are color-coded as follows:
3-8PEED
black = high speed
blue = medium speed
2-8PEED
black = high speed
red
low speed
red = low speed
To change the speed of the blower motor, remove the fan
motor speed leg lead from the blower relay (BR). This wire
is attached to terminal BM for single-phase and 3-phase units.
To change the speed, remove and replace with lead for de
sired blower motor speed. Insulate the removed lead to avoid
contact with chassis parts.
Table 6 - Air Delivery (Cfm) at Indicated Temperature Rise and Rated Heating Input
For 460-v GE Motors
The motor leads are color coded
as follows:
3-8PEED
black = high
blue = jumper
orange = medium
2-8PEED
black = high
blue = jumper
red = low
red = low
To change the speed of the blower motor, remove fan
motor speed lead from the blower relay (BR) and replace
with the lead for the desired blower motor speed. The mo
tor speed lead is attached to terminal BM. Insulate removedlead end to avoid contact with chassis parts. On 3-speed
motors only, connect orange lead to terminal BM of BR.
To select high speed on 460-v GE motors, separate the black
(female QC) from the blue lead (male QC) and connect the
black lead to the BR. Insulate the blue lead to avoid con
tact with any chassis parts.

COOLING SEQUENCE OE OPERATION — With the 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 ther
mostat 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)
The normally-open contacts of energized contactor (C)
close and complete the circuit through compressor motor
(COMP) to condenser (outdoor) fan motor (OEM). Both
motors start instantly.
The set of normally-open contacts of energized relay BR
close and complete the circuit through evaporator blower
(indoor) fan motor (IFM). The blower motor starts
instantly.
NOTE: Once the compressor has started and then has stopped,
it should not be started again until 5 minutes have elapsed.
The cooling cycle remains “on” until the room temper
ature 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 termi
nal R to terminals Y and G. These open circuits deenergize
contactor coil C and relay coil BR. The condenser and com
pressor 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.
