WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal
injury or death.
Before performing service or maintenance operations
on the fan system, shut off all unit power and tag--out
the unit disconnect switch. Do not reach into the fan
section with power still applied to unit.
Supply Fan (Belt--Drive)
The supply fan system consists of a forward--curved
centrifugal blower wheel on a solid shaft with two
concentric type bearings, one on each side of the blower
housing. A fixed--pitch driven pulley is attached to the fan
shaft and an adjustable--pitch driver pulley is on the
motor. The pulleys are connected using a “V” type belt.
(See Fig. 5.)
C07156
inside surfaces. Check belt tension by using a spring--force
tool (such as Browning’s Part Number “Belt Tension
Checker” or equivalent tool); tension should be 6--lbs at a
5/8--in. deflection when measured at the centerline of the
belt span. This point is at the center of the belt when
measuring the distance between the motor shaft and the
blower shaft.
NOTE: Without the spring--tension tool, place a straight
edge across the belt surface at the pulleys, then deflect the
belt at mid--span using one finger to a 1/2--in. deflection.
Adjust belt tension by loosening the motor mounting plate
front bolts and rear bolt and sliding the plate toward the
fan (to reduce tension) or away from fan (to increase
tension). Ensure the blower shaft and the motor shaft are
parallel to each other (pulleys aligned). Tighten all bolts
when finished.
To replace the belt:
1. Use a belt with same section type or similar size. Do
not substitute a “FHP” type belt. When installing the
new belt, do not use a tool (screwdriver or pry--bar) to
force the belt over the pulley flanges, this will stress
the belt and cause a reduction in belt life.
2. Loosen the motor mounting plate front bolts and rear
bolts.
3. Push the motor and its mounting plate towards the
blower housing as close as possible to reduce the center distance between fan shaft and motor shaft.
4. Remove the belt by gently lifting the old belt over
one of the pulleys.
5. Install the new belt by gently sliding the belt over
both pulleys and then sliding the motor and plate
away from the fan housing until proper tension is
achieved.
6. Check the alignment of the pulleys, adjust if necessary.
7. Tighten all bolts.
8. Check the tension after a few hours of runtime and
re--adjust as required.
Adjustable--Pitch Pulley on
The motor pulley is an adjustable--pitch type that allows a
servicer to implement changes in the fan wheel speed to
match as--installed ductwork systems. The pulley consists
of a fixed flange side that faces the motor (secured to the
motor shaft) and a movable flange side that can be rotated
around the fixed flange side that increases or reduces the
pitch diameter of this driver pulley. (See Fig. 6.)
Motor
C07087
Fig. 5 -- Belt Drive Motor Mounting
Belt
Check the belt condition and tension quarterly. Inspect the
belt for signs of cracking, fraying or glazing along the
As the pitch diameter is changed by adjusting the position
of the movable flange, the centerline on this pulley shifts
laterally (along themotor shaft). This creates a
requirement for a realignment of the pulleys after any
adjustment of the movable flange. Also reset the belt
tension after each realignment.
Check the condition of the motor pulley for signs of wear.
Glazing of the belt contact surfaces and erosion on these
surfaces are signs of improper belt tension and/or belt
slippage. Pulley replacement may be necessary.

To change fan speed:
1. Shut off unit power supply.
2. Loosen belt by loosening fan motor mounting nuts.
(See Fig. 5.)
3. Loosen movable pulley flange setscrew. (See Fig. 6.)
4. Screw movable flange toward fixed flange to increase
speed and away from fixed flange to decrease speed.
Increasing fan speed increases load on motor. Do not
exceed maximum speed specified.
5. Set movable flange at nearest keyway of pulley hub
and tighten setscrew to torque specifications.
To align fan and motor pulleys:
1. Loosen fan pulley setscrews.
2. Slide fan pulley along fan shaft. Make angular alignment by loosening motor from mounting.
3. Tighten fan pulley setscrews and motor mounting
bolts to torque specifications.
4. Recheck belt tension.
Motor
When replacing the motor, also replace the external--tooth
lock washer (star washer) under the motor mounting base;
this is part of the motor grounding system. Ensure the
teeth on the lock washer are in contact with the motor’s
painted base. Tighten motor mounting bolts to 120 +/-- 12
in--lbs.
Changing fan wheel speed by changing pulleys: The
horsepower rating of the belt is primarily dictated by the
pitch diameter of the smaller pulley in the drive system
(typically the motor pulley in these units). Do not install a
replacement motor pulley with a smaller pitch diameter
than provided on the original factory pulley. Change fan
wheel speed by changing the fan pulley (larger pitch
diameter to reduce wheel speed, smaller pitch diameter to
increase wheel speed) or select a new system (both
pulleys and matching belt(s)).
Before changing pulleys to increase fan wheel speed,
check the fan performance at the target speed and airflow
rate to determine new motor loading (bhp). Use the fan
performance tables or use the Packaged Rooftop Builder
software program. Confirm that the motor in this unit is
capable of operating at the new operating condition. Fan
shaft loading increases dramatically as wheel speed is
increased.

Fig. 6 -- Supply--Fan Pulley Adjustment
Bearings
This fan system uses bearings featuring concentric split
locking collars. The collars are tightened through a cap
screw bridging the split portion of the collar. The cap
screw has a Torx T25 socket head. To tighten the locking
collar: Hold the locking collar tightly against the inner
race of the bearing and torque the cap screw to 65--70
in--lb (7.4--7.9 Nm). See Fig. 7.
To reduce vibration, replace the motor’s adjustable pitch
pulley with a fixed pitch pulley (after the final airflow
balance adjustment). This will reduce the amount of
vibration generated by the motor/belt--drive system.

WARNING
UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal
injury, death and/or equipment damage.
This system uses PuronR refrigerant which has
higher pressures than R--22 and other refrigerants. No
other refrigerant may be used in this system. Gauge
set, hoses, and recovery system must be designed to
handle Puron refrigerant. If unsure about equipment,
consult the equipment manufacturer.
Condenser Coil
The condenser coil is fabricated with round tube copper
hairpins and plate fins of various materials and/or coatings
(see Model Number Format in the Appendix to identify
the materials provided in this unit). The coil may be
one--row or composite--type two--row. Composite two--row
coils are two single--row coils fabricated with a single
return bend end tubesheet.

C08121
Condenser Coil Maintenance and Cleaning
Recommendation
Routine cleaning of coil surfaces is essential to maintain
proper operation of the unit. Elimination of contamination
and removal of harmful residues will greatly increase the
5
life of the coil and extend the life of the unit. The
following maintenance and cleaning procedures are
recommended as part of the routine maintenance activities
to extend the life of the coil.
Remove Surface Loaded
Fibers
Surface loaded fibers or dirt should be removed with a
vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a
soft non--metallic bristle brush may be used. In either
case, the tool should be applied in the direction of the fins.
Coil surfaces can be easily damaged (fin edges can be
easily bent over and damage to the coating of a protected
coil) if the tool is applied across the fins.
NOTE: Use of a water stream, such as a garden hose,
against a surface loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt
into the coil. This will make cleaning efforts more
difficult. Surface loaded fibers must be completely
removed prior to using low velocity clean water rinse.
48TC
Periodic Clean Water
Rinse
A periodic clean water rinse is very beneficial for coils
that are applied in coastal or industrial environments.
However, it is very important that the water rinse is made
with a very low velocity water stream to avoid damaging
the fin edges. Monthly cleaning as described below is
recommended.
Two--Row Coils
Clean coil as follows:
1. Turn off unit power, tag disconnect.
2. Remove top panel screws on condenser end of unit.
3. Remove condenser coil corner post. See Fig. 8. To
hold top panel open, place coil corner post between
top panel and center post. See Fig. 9.
C08205
Fig. 8 -- Cleaning Condenser Coil
Routine Cleaning of Coil
Surfaces
Periodic cleaning with TotalineR environmentally sound
coil cleaner is essential to extend the life of coils. This
cleanerisavailablefromCarrierReplacement
Components Division as part number P902--0301 for a one
gallon container, and part number P902--0305 for a 5
gallon container. It is recommended that all coils,
including standard aluminum, pre--coated, copper/copper
or E--coatedcoils becleanedwith theTotaline

!
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in accelerated
corrosion of unit parts.
Harsh chemicals, household bleach or acid or basic
cleaners should not be used to clean outdoor or indoor
coils of any kind. These cleaners can be very difficult
to rinse out of the coil and can accelerate corrosion at
the fin/tube interface where dissimilar materials are in
contact. If there is dirt below the surface of the coil,
use the Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner.
!
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced
unit performance or unit shutdown.
High velocity water from a pressure washer, garden
hose, or compressed air should never be used to
clean a coil. The force of the water or air jet will
bend the fin edges and increase airside pressure drop.
1. Proper eye protection such as safety glasses is recommended during mixing and application.
2. Remove all surface loaded fibers and dirt with a vacuum cleaner as described above.
3. Thoroughly wet finned surfaces with clean water and
a low velocity garden hose, being careful not to bend
fins.
4. Mix Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner in a
2--1/2 gallon garden sprayer according to the instructions included with the cleaner. The optimum solution
temperature is 100_F.
NOTE: Do NOT USE water in excess of 130_F, as th e
enzymatic activity will be destroyed.
5. Thoroughly apply Totaline environmentally sound
coil cleaner solution to all coil surfaces including
finned area, tube sheets and coil headers.
6. Hold garden sprayer nozzle close to finned areas and
apply cleaner with a vertical, up--and--down motion.
Avoid spraying in horizontal pattern to minimize potential for fin damage.
7. Ensure cleaner thoroughly penetrates deep into finned
areas.
8. Interior and exterior finned areas must be thoroughly
cleaned.
9. Finned surfaces should remain wet with cleaning
solution for 10 minutes.
10. Ensure surfaces are not allowed to dry before rinsing.
Reapplying cleaner as needed to ensure 10--minute
saturation is achieved.
11. Thoroughly rinse all surfaces with low velocity clean
water using downward rinsing motion of water spray
nozzle. Protect fins from damage from the spray
nozzle.
Evaporator Coil
Cleaning the Evaporator Coil
1. Turn unit power off. Install lockout tag. Remove
evaporator coil access panel.
2. If economizer or two--position damper is installed, remove economizer by disconnecting Molex plug and
removing mounting screws.
3. Slide filters out of unit.
4. Clean coil using a commercial coil cleaner or dishwasher detergent in a pressurized spray canister. Wash
both sides of coil and flush with clean water. For best
results, back--flush toward return--air section to remove foreign material. Flush condensate pan after
completion.
5. Reinstall economizer and filters.
6. Reconnect wiring.
7. Replace access panels.
Evaporator Coil M etering
The metering devices are multiple fixed--bore devices
(Acutrolt) swedged into the horizontal outlet tubes from
the liquid header, located at the entrance to each
evaporator coil circuit path. These are non--adjustable.
Service requires replacing the entire liquid header
assembly.
To check for possible blockage of one or more of these
metering devices, disconnect the supply fan contactor
(IFC) coil, then start the compressor and observe the
frosting pattern on the face of the evaporator coil. A frost
pattern should develop uniformly across the face of the
coil starting at each horizontal header tube. Failure to
develop frost at an outlet tube can indicate a plugged or a
missing orifice.
Devices
Refrigerant System Pressure Access Ports
There are two access ports in the system -- on the suction
tube near the compressor and on the discharge tube near
the compressor. These are brass fittings with black plastic
caps. The hose connection fittings are standard 1/4 SAE
male flare couplings.
The brass fittings are two--piece High Flow valves, with a
receptacle base brazed to the tubing and an integral
spring--closed check valve core screwed into the base.
48TC
7
(See Fig. 11.) This check valve is permanently assembled
into this core body and cannot be serviced separately;
replace the entire core body if necessary. Service tools are
available from RCD that allow the replacement of the
check valve core without having to recover the entire
system refrigerant charge. Apply compressor refrigerant
oil to the check valve core’s bottom o--ring. Install the
fitting body with 96 +/ --10 in--lbs of torque; do not
overtighten.
Refrigerant Charge
Amount of refrigerant charge is listed on the unit’s
nameplate.RefertoCarrierGTAC2--5Charging,

PURONR (R--410A) REFRIGERANT
This unit is designed for use with Puron (R--410A)
refrigerant. Do not use any other refrigerant in this
system.
Puron (R--410A) refrigerant is provided in pink (rose)
colored cylinders. These cylinders are available with and
48TC
without dip tubes; cylinders with dip tubes will have a
label indicating this feature. For a cylinder with a dip
tube, place the cylinder in the upright position (access
valve at the top) when removing liquid refrigerant for
charging. For a cylinder without a dip tube, invert the
cylinder (access valve on the bottom) when removing
liquid refrigerant.
Because Puron (R--410A) refrigerant is a blend, it is
strongly recommended that refrigerant always be removed
from the cylinder as a liquid. Admit liquid refrigerant into
the system in the discharge line. If adding refrigerant into
the suction line, use a commercial metering/expansion
device at the gauge manifold; remove liquid from the
cylinder, pass it through the metering device at the gauge
set and then pass it into the suction line as a vapor. Do not
remove Puron (R--410A) refrigerant from the cylinder as a
vapor.
Use standard evacuating techniques. After evacuating
system, weigh in the specified amount of refrigerant.
Low--Charge
Cooling
Using Cooling Charging Charts, Fig. 12, vary refrigerant
until the conditions of the appropriate chart are met. Note
the charging charts are different from type normally used.
Charts are based on charging the units to the correct
superheat for the various operating conditions. Accurate
pressure gauge and temperature sensing device are
required. Connect the pressure gauge to the service port
on the suction line. Mount the temperature sensing device
on the suction line and insulate it so that outdoor ambient
temperature does not affect the reading. Indoor--air cfm
must be within the normal operating range of the unit.
To Use Cooling Charging
Charts
Take the outdoor ambient temperature and read the
suction pressure gauge. Refer to chart to determine what
suction temperature should be. If suction temperature is
high, add refrigerant. If suction temperature is low,
carefully recover some of the charge. Recheck the suction
pressure as charge is adjusted.

CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to
components.
The compressor is in a PuronR refrigerant system and
uses a polyolester (POE) oil. This oil is extremely
hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water readily. POE
oils can absorb 15 times as much water as other oils
designed for HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Avoid
exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.

to be certain compressor is rotating in the proper
direction. To determine whether or not compressor is
rotating in the proper direction:
1. Connect service gauges to suction and discharge pressure fittings.
2. Energize the compressor.
3. The suction pressure should drop and the discharge
pressure should rise, as is normal on any start--up.
NOTE:If the suction pressure does not drop and the
discharge pressure does not rise to normal levels:
4. Note that the evaporator fan is probably also rotating
in the wrong direction.
5. Turn off power to the unit.
6. Reverse any two of the unit power leads.
7. Reapply power to the compressor.
The suction and discharge pressure levels should now
move to their normal start--up levels.
NOTE: When the compressor is rotating in the wrong
direction, the unit makes an elevated level of noise and
does not provide cooling.

installation of a general--purpose 125--volt 15--A circuit
powered from a source elsewhere in the building. Observe
national and local codes when selecting wire size, fuse or
14
breaker requirements and disconnect switch size and
location. Route 125--v power supply conductors into the
bottom of the utility box containing the duplex receptacle.
Unit--powered type: A unit--mounted transformer is
factory--installed to stepdown the main power supply
voltage to the unit to 115--v at the duplex receptacle. This
option also includes a manual switch with fuse, located in
a utility box and mounted on a bracket behind the
convenience outlet; access is through the unit’s control
box access panel. See Fig. 14.
The primary leads to the convenience outlet transformer
are not factory--connected. Selection of primary power

SMOKE DETECTORS
Smoke detectors are available as factory--installed options
on 48TC models. Smoke detectors may be specified for
Supply Air only or for Return Air without or with
economizer or in combination of Supply Air and Return
Air. Return Air smoke detectors are arranged for vertical
return configurations only. All components necessary for
operation are factory--provided and mounted. The unit is
factory--configuredforimmediatesmokedetector
shutdown operation; additional wiring or modifications to
unit terminal board may be necessary to complete the unit
and smoke detector configuration to meet project
requirements.
System
The smoke detector system consists of a four--wire
controller and one or two sensors. Its primary function is
to shut down the rooftop unit in order to prevent smoke
from circulating throughout the building. It is not to be
used as a life saving device.
Controller
The controller (see Fig. 16) includes a controller housing,
a printed circuit board, and a clear plastic cover. The
controller can be connected to one or two compatible duct
smoke sensors. The clear plastic cover is secured to the
housing with a single captive screw for easy access to the
wiring terminals. The controller has three LEDs (for
Power, Trouble and Alarm) and a manual test/reset button
(on the cover face).

Sensor
The sensor (see Fig. 17) includes a plastic housing, a
printed circuit board, a clear plastic cover, a sampling
tube inlet and an exhaust tube. The sampling tube (when
used) and exhaust tube are attached during installation.
The sampling tube varies in length depending on the size
of the rooftop unit. The clear plastic cover permits visual
inspections without having to disassemble the sensor. The
cover attaches to the sensor housing using four captive
screws and forms an airtight chamber around the sensing
electronics. Each sensor includes a harness with an RJ45
terminal for connecting to the controller. Each sensor has
four LEDs (for Power, Trouble, Alarm and Dirty) and a
manual test/reset button (on the left--side of the housing).
Air is introduced to the duct smoke detector sensor’s
sensing chamber through a sampling tube that extends into
the HVAC duct and is directed back into the ventilation
system through a (shorter) exhaust tube. The difference in
air pressure between the two tubes pulls the sampled air
through the sensing chamber. When a sufficient amount of
smoke is detected in the sensing chamber, the sensor
signals an alarm state and the controller automatically
takes the appropriate action to shut down fans and
blowers, change over air handling systems, notify the fire
alarm control panel, etc.
The sensor uses a process called differential sensing to
prevent gradual environmental changes from triggering
false alarms. A rapid change in environmental conditions,
such as smoke from a fire, causes the sensor to signal an
alarm state but dust and debris accumulated over time
does not.

General
The heat exchanger system consists of a gas valve feeding
multiple inshot burners off a manifold. The burners fire
into matching primary tubes. The primary tubes discharge
into combustion plenum where gas flow converges into
secondary tubes. The secondary tubes exit into the
induced draft fan wheel inlet. The induced fan wheel
discharges into a flue passage and flue gases exit out a
flue hood on the side of the unit. The induced draft fan
motor includes a Hall Effect sensor circuit that confirms
adequate wheel speed via the Integrated Gas Control
(IGC) board. Safety switches include a Rollout Switch (at
the top of the burner compartment) and a limit switch
(mounted through the fan deck, over the tubes). (See Fig.

Supply Pressure Switch — The LP conversion kit includes
a supply low pressure switch. The switch contacts (from
terminal C to terminal NO) will open the gas valve power
whenever the supply line pressure drops below the
setpoint. See Fig. 29 and Fig. 30. If the low pressure
remains open for 15 minutes during a call for heat, the
IGC circuit will initiate a Ignition Fault (5 flashes)
lockout. Reset of the low pressure switch is automatic on
rise in supply line pressure. Reset of the IGC requires a
recycle of unit power after the low pressure switch has
closed.

This switch also prevents operation when the propane tank
level is low which can result in gas with a high
concentration of impurities, additives, and residues that
have settled to the bottom of the tank. Operation under
these conditions can cause harm to the heat exchanger
system. Contact your fuel supplier if this condition is
suspected.
Flue Gas Passageways
To inspect the flue collector box and upper areas of the
heat exchanger:
1. Remove the combustion blower wheel and motor assembly according to directions in Combustion--Air
Blower section. See Fig. 31.
2. Remove the flue cover to inspect the heat exchanger.
3. Clean all surfaces as required using a wire brush.

periodically during heating season. For the first heating
season, inspect blower wheel bi--monthly to determine
proper cleaning frequency.
To access burner section, slide the sliding burner partition
out of the unit.
To inspect blower wheel, shine a flashlight into draft hood
opening. If cleaning is required, remove motor and wheel
as follows:
1. Slide burner access panel out.
2. Remove the 7 screws that attach induced--draft motor
housing to vestibule plate. (See Fig. 31.)
3. The blower wheel can be cleaned at this point. If additional cleaning is required, continue with Steps 4
and 5.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in
equipment damage.
When working on gas train, do not hit or plug
orifice spuds.
Main Burners
To access burners, remove burner access panel and slide
out burner partition. At the beginning of each heating
season, inspect for deterioration or blockage due to
corrosion or other causes. Observe the main burner flames
and adjust, if necessary.
Orifice projection — Refer to Fig. 32 for maximum
projection dimension for orifice face to manifold tube.

8. Slide the burner tray out of the unit (Fig. 33).
9. To reinstall, reverse the procedure outlined above.
Cleaning and Adjustment
1. Remove burner rack from unit as described in Removal and Replacement of Gas Train section, above.
2. Inspect burners; if dirty, remove burners from rack.
(Mark each burner to identify its position before removing from the rack.)
3. Use a soft brush to clean burners and cross--over port
as required.
4. Adjust spark gap. (See Fig. 35 and Fig. 36.)
5. If factory orifice has been removed, check that each
orifice is tight at its threads into the manifold pipe
and that orifice projection does not exceed maximum
valve. See Fig. 32
6. Reinstall burners on rack in the same locations as
factory--installed. (The outside crossover flame regions of the outermost burners are pinched off to prevent excessive gas flow from the side of the burner
assembly. If the pinched crossovers are installed
between two burners, the flame will not ignite properly.)
