Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment
can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only trained andqualified service personnel should
install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions of cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All
other operations should be performed by trained service personnel. When working on air-conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached
to the unit, and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes.W earsafetyglasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire extinguishers available for all brazing operations.
IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE INSTALLING
IMPORTANT: Due to upgrades in unit control software and hardware, units produced currently are slightly
different than original design units. The unit control
software (which has changed) is designated with a sticker
on the unit control board, chip U8 (the large chip in
the center of the board), which states the software Version number. Version 1.0 is the original version. Version 2.0 is the current version. Differences in installation, configuration, and start-up procedures in this
manual will be identified by Version number.
INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Provide Unit Support
All panels must be in place when rigging. Unit is not
designed for handling by fork truck.
ROOF CURB — Assemble and install accessory roof curb
in accordance with instructions shipped with the curb. Accessory roof curb and information required to field fabricate
a roof curb or horizontal adapter are shown in Fig. 1 and 2.
Install insulation, cant strips, roofing, and counter flashing
as shown. Ductwork can be secured to roof curb before unit
is set in place.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof
curb is critical for a leak-proof seal. Install gasket supplied with the roof curb as shown in Fig. 1. Improperly applied gasket can result in air leaks and poor unit
performance.
Curb should be level. This is necessary to permit unit drain
to function properly. Unit leveling tolerance is shown in
Fig 1 and 2. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb Installation Instructions for additional information as required. When accessory roof curb is used, unit may be installed on class A,
B, or C roof covering material.
ALTERNATEUNITSUPPORT—When the curb or adapter
cannot be used, support unit with sleepers using unit curb or
adapter support area. If sleepers cannot be used, support long
sides of unit (refer to Fig. 3-6) with a minimum number of
equally spaced 4-in. x 4-in. pads as follows:
50EJ,EK,EW,EY024-034 units require 3 pads on each side;
50EJ,EK,EW,EY038-048 require 4 pads on each side. Unit
may sag if supported by corners only.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on
unit, turn offmain power switch to unit. Electrical shock
could cause personal injury.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

ice, and set point data tables for interface with Building
Supervisor, Comfort Works, or Service Tool
When a VAV unit with a space temperature sensor is accessed via a computer, the following additional features are
available:
• ability to initiate timed override from T-55 sensors
• ability to use multiple space temperature sensors to aver-
age space temperature
• temperature compensated start to calculate early start time
before occupancy
• provide space temperature reset to reset the supply air set
point upward when the temperature falls below the occupied cooling set point
An electronic expansion board may be field-installed to
provide the following features:
• fan status
• filter status
• field-applied status
• demand limiting
• IAQ sensor
• OAQ sensor
• alarm light
When the unit is connected to the CCN (Carrier Comfort
Network), the following expansion board features can be
utilized:
• CCN IAQ (indoor air quality) participation
• CCN OAQ (outdoor air quality) participation
• CCN demand limit participation
• fire unit shutdown
• fire pressurization
• fire evacuation

• modulated power exhaust override
Afield-supplied space temperature sensor can be added to
provide the following:
• T-57 sensor will monitor room temperature
• T-55 sensor will monitor room temperature and provide
unoccupied override capability (1 hour)
When the unit is equipped with a field-supplied space temperature sensor and a remote contact closure (remote start/
stop), the occupied default set points will monitor unit operation. The occupied default set points are 55 F (supply air)
cooling and 68 F (space temperature) heating (if electric heat
is installed). See Fig. 11 for remote start/stop wiring.
NOTE: For units without a space temperature sensor and which
have not had the base unit control board accessed via software to set an occupancy schedule, the remote start/stop closure will allow the unit to operate in the pre-configured occupied default set points of 55 F (supply-air temperature)
cooling and 68 F (return-air temperature) heating. Without
an occupancy schedule, the unit will control to the unoccupied default set points of 90 F (return air) cooling and 55 F
(return air) heating (if electric heat is installed).
Features with Network Applications — The base control board
provides, as standard, a connection for use with a Carrier
Comfort System and can also be integrated into a Carrier
Comfort Network. When the unit is accessed via a PC equipped
with Comfort Works, Building Supervisor, or Service Tool
software, the following features can be accessed:
• on-board timeclock can be programmed

This access is available on the base control board via a
RJ-11 phone jack or a 3-wire connection to the communication bus. See Fig. 12. The timeclock has a 10-hour minimum back-up time to provide for unit power off for servicing unit or during unexpected power outages. For complete
Carrier Comfort System (CCS) or Carrier Comfort Network
(CCN) features and benefits, refer to the product literature.
Step 7 — Make Electrical Connections
POWER WIRING — Units are factory wired for the voltage
shown on the unit nameplate. The main terminal block is
suitable for use with aluminum or copper wires and is sized
for single-point electric heat.
When installing units, provide a disconnect per NEC (Na-
tional Electrical Code) of adequate size (MOCP [maximum
overcurrent protection] of unit is on the informative plate).
All field wiring must comply with NEC and all local codes.
Size wire based on MCA (minimum circuit amps) on the
unit informative plate. See Fig. 13 for power wiring connections to the unit power terminal block and equipment ground.
The main power terminal block is suitable for use with
aluminum or copper wire. See Fig. 13. Units have circuit
breakers for compressors, fan motors, and control circuit. If
required by local codes, provide an additional disconnect,
per NEC and local codes requirements, of adequate size
(Table 4). Whenever external electrical sources are used, unit
must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes,
or in absence of local codes, with NEC, ANSI (American
National Standards Institute) C1-latest year.
All field wiring must comply with NEC and local code
requirements.
FIELD POWER SUPPLY — Unit is factory wired for volt-
age shown on nameplate. See Table 4 for electrical data.
Field wiring can be brought into the unit from bottom
(through basepan and roof curb) or through side of unit (corner post next to control box).
A31⁄2-in. NPT coupling for field power wiring and a
3
⁄4-in. NPT coupling for 24-v control wiring are provided in
basepan. In the side post, there are two 21⁄2-in. (024-034) or
3-in. (038-048) knockouts for the field power wiring. See
Fig. 3-6. If control wiring is to be brought in through the
side of unit, a7⁄8-in. diameter hole is provided in the condenser side post next to the control box.
If disconnect box is mounted to corner post, be careful
not to drill any screws into the condenser coil.
Routing Through Bottom of Unit — If wiring is brought in
through bottom of unit, use field-supplied watertight conduit
to run power wiring from basepan out through bottom
31⁄2-in. hole to the disconnect box and back into unit to the
main control box.

diameter hole provided. After wires are in unit control box,
connect to power terminal block (see Power Wiring section
on this page 15).
Low-voltage wiring must be run in watertight conduit from
the basepan to control box and through
7
⁄8-in. diameter hole
provided in bottom of unit control box. Field-supplied strain
relief must be used going into the box. After wiring is in
control box, make connections to proper terminals on terminal blocks (see Field Control Wiringsection on this page).
Install conduit connector in unit basepan or side panel openings provided. Route power and ground lines through connector to connections in unit control box as shown on unit
wiring diagram and Fig. 13.
Routing Through Side of Unit — Route power wiring in
field-supplied watertight conduit into unit through 21⁄2-or
3-in. hole. Strain relief (field supplied) must be used in hole.
See Fig. 13.
Use field-supplied strain relief going into control box through
1
⁄2- or 3-in. diameter hole provided. After wires are in unit
2
control box, connect to power terminal block (see Power Wiring section on page 15).
Bring low-voltage control wiring through factory-drilled
7
⁄8-in. diameter hole in condenser side post. Use strain relief
going into7⁄8-in. diameter hole in bottom of unit control box.
After wiring is in control box, make connection to proper
terminals on terminal blocks (see Field Control Wiring section on this page).
IMPORTANT: THE VAV (variable air volume) units
incorporateVFD (variable frequency drives) which generate, use, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If
units are not installed and used in accordance with these
instructions, they may cause radio interference. They
have been tested and found to comply with limits of a
Class A computing device as defined by FCC (Federal
Communications Commission) regulations, Subpart J
of Part 15, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when operated in
a commercial environment.
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes and NEC ANSI/NFPA 70 (National Fire
Protection Association).
Operating voltage to compressor must be within voltage
range indicated on unit nameplate. On 3-phase units, voltages between phases must be balanced within 2% and the
current must be balanced within 10%.
Use the formula in Table 4 to determine the percentage of
voltage imbalance.
IMPORTANT: If the supply voltage phase imbalance
is more than 2%, contact your local electric utility company immediately.
Unit failure as a result of operation on improper line voltage or excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse and may
cause damage to electrical components.
On 208/230-v units, transformer no. 1 is wired for 230-v.
If 208/230-v unit is to be run with 208-v power supply, the
transformer must be rewired as follows:
1. Remove cap from red (208-v) wire.
2. Remove cap from spliced orange (230-v) wire. Discon-
nect orange wire from black unit power wire.
3. Cap orange wire.
4. Splice red wire and black unit power wire. Cap wires.
IMPORTANT: Be certain unused wires are capped.
Failure to do so may damage the transformers.
FIELD CONTROL WIRING — Install either a Carrierapproved accessory thermostat or a CCN (Carrier Comfort
Network) compatible temperature sensor.Thermostats are used
on CV (constant volume) units only. Control box diagrams
are shown in Fig. 14 and 15.
Thermostat Wiring (CV Only) — Install a Carrier-approved
accessory thermostat assembly (per current price pages) according to the installation instructions included with the accessory or these instructions. Locate thermostat assembly on
a solid wall in the conditioned space to sense average
temperature.
Route thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of colored wire from subbase terminals to low-voltage connections as shown on unit label wiring diagram and in Fig. 16.
NOTE: For wire runs up to 50 ft, use no. 18 AWG (American Wire Gage) insulated wire (35 C minimum). For 50 to
75 ft, use no. 16 AWG insulated wire (35 C minimum). For
over 75 ft, use no. 14 AWG insulated wire (35 C minimum).
All wire larger than no. 18 AWG cannot be directly connected to the thermostat and will require a junction box and
splice at the thermostat.
Set heat anticipators settings to 0.1 for all voltages. Settings may be changed slightly to provide a greater degree of
comfort for a particular installation.
Sensor Wiring (CV or VAV) — The temperature sensor is
wired into the unit control board. See Fig. 17.
The unit is controlled with a T55, T56 (CV only), or T57
zone sensor. Terminal TH on the sensor is connected to T1
of the base module board. Terminal COM on the sensor is
connected to T2 on the base module board. If a T56 set point
override sensor is used, the override connection SW on the
sensor is connected to T3 on the base module board.
VAV units using Version 1.0 of the unit control software
may operate without a space temperature sensor during occupied schedules, but unit will not provide unoccupied heating or cooling.
VAV Units — VAV units require a field-supplied heat interlock relay (HIR) to drive the air terminal wide open when in
heat mode. The HIR part number is HN61KK041.
Remote Field Control (Units Running Version 1.0 of Unit
Control Software) — A switch closure across terminals R
and Y1 on TB-3 will initiate the Occupied mode. This can
be done manually as well as through a field-supplied
timeclock.
