INTRODUCTION
The 50GS and 50GX units (see Fig. 1) are fully self-contained, and
designed for outdoor installation. See Figs. 2 and 3 for unit
dimensions. All unit sizes have discharge openings for both
horizontal and downflow configurations, and are factory shipped
with all downflow duct openings covered . Units may be installed
either on a rooftop, ground-level cement slab, or directly on the
ground if local codes permit. (See Fig. 4A for roof curb dimensions.)
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step 1—Check Equipment
IDENTIFY UNIT
The unit model number and serial number are stamped on the unit
identification plate. Check this information against shipping papers.
INSPECT SHIPMENT
Inspect for shipping damage while unit is still on shipping pallet.
If unit appears to be damaged 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 packages until
installation.
Step 2—Provide Unit Support
ROOF CURB
Install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped
with curb (See Fig. 4A). 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 also can result in air leaks
and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level to within 1/4 in. (See Fig. 5A). 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 (See Fig. 5B). The slab should
extend approximately 2 in. beyond the casing on all 4 sides of the
unit. Do not secure the unit to the slab except when required by
local codes.
GROUND MOUNT
The unit may be installed either on a slab or placed directly on the
ground if local codes permit. Place the unit on level ground
prepared with gravel for condensate discharge.
Step 3—Provide Clearances
The required minimum service clearances are shown in Fig.2&3.
Adequate ventilation and outdoor air must be provided. The
outdoor fan draws air through the outdoor coil and discharges it
through the top fan grille. Be sure that the fan discharge does not
recirculate to the outdoor 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 36
in. above the unit top. The maximum horizontal extension of a
partial overhang must not exceed 48 in. For extended overhangs,
provide a minimum clearance of 48 in.
IMPORTANT: Do not restrict outdoor airflow. An air restriction
at either the outdoor-air inlet or the fan discharge may be
detrimental to compressor life.
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 or other combustible materials. Slab-mounted units
should be at least 4 in. above the highest expected water and runoff
levels. Do not use unit if it has been under water.
Step 4—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, unit is provided with flanges on the horizontal
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 5—Rig and Place Unit
Rigging and handling of this equipment can be hazardous for many
reasons due to the installation location (roofs, elevated structures,
etc.)
Only trained, qualified crane operators and ground support staff
should handle and install this equipment.
When working with this equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the equipment,
and any other safety precautions that might apply.
Follow all applicable safety codes. Wear safety shoes and work
gloves.
Never stand beneath rigged units or lift over people.
Never exceed 200 lbs. per bracket lifting force.

Lifting point should be directly over the center of gravity for
the unit.
Step 6—Connect Condensate Drain
NOTE: When installing condensate drain connection be sure to
comply with local codes and restrictions.
Models 50GS and 50GX dispose of condensate water through a
3/4 in. NPT fitting which exits through the base on the evaporator
coil access side. See Fig.2&3forlocation.
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in rooftop
installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in groundlevel 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 drainpan
condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing (See
Fig. 7). When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes away from
the unit.
Connect a drain tube using a minimum of 3/4 -in. PVC or 3/4 -in.
copper pipe (all field-supplied) 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 1-in. for every 10 ft. of horizontal run. Be sure to
check the drain tube for leaks. Prime trap at the beginning of the
cooling season start-up.
Step 7—Install Duct Connections
The unit has duct flanges on the supply- and return-air openings on
the side and bottom of the unit. For downshot applications the
ductwork can be connected to the roof curb. See Fig.2&3for
connection sizes and locations.
IMPORTANT: Use flexible connectors between ductwork and
unit to prevent transmission of vibration. Use suitable gaskets to
ensure weathertight and airtight seal. When electric heat is
installed, use fire proof canvas (or similar heat resistant material)
connector between ductwork and unit discharge connection. If
flexible duct is used, insert a sheet metal sleeve inside duct. Heat
resistant duct connector (or sheet metal sleeve) must extend 24-in.
from the unit discharge connection flange into the ductwork.

watertight.
7. After completing unit conversion, perform all safety checks
and power up unit.
NOTE: The design and installation of the duct system must be in
accordance with the standards of the NFPA for installation of
nonresidence-type air conditioning and ventilating systems, NFPA
90A or residence-type, NFPA 90B; and/or local codes and
ordinances.
Adhere to the following criteria when selecting, sizing, and
installing the duct system:
8. Units are shipped for side shot installation.
9. Select and size ductwork, supply-air registers, and return-air
grilles according to American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommendations.
10. Use flexible transition between rigid ductwork and unit to
prevent transmission of vibration. The transition may be
screwed or bolted to duct flanges. Use suitable gaskets to
ensure weathertight and airtight seal.
11. All units must have field-supplied filters or accessory filter
rack installed in the return-air side of the unit. Recommended
sizes for filters are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
12. Size all ductwork for maximum required airflow (either
heating or cooling) for unit being installed. Avoid abrupt duct
size increases or decreases or performance may be affected.
13. Adequately insulate and weatherproof all ductwork located
outdoors. Insulate ducts passing through unconditioned space,
and use vapor barrier in accordance with latest issue of Sheet
Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association
(SMACNA) and Air Conditioning Contractors of America
