1. Consult local building codes and the NEC (National
Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70 for special installation
requirements.
2. Determine unit location (from project plans) or select unit
location.
3. Check for possible overhead obstructions which may interfere with unit lifting or rigging.
Complete the following checks before
Step 1 — Plan for Unit Location — Select a loca-
tion for the unit and its support system (curb or other) that provides for at least the minimum clearances required for safety.
This includes the clearance to combustible surfaces, unit performance and service access below, around and above unit as
specified in unit drawings. See Fig. 3.
NOTE: Consider also the effect of adjacent units.
Unit may be installed directly on wood flooring or on Class
A, B, or C roof-covering material when roof curb is used.
Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate air inlets near exhaust vents, relief valves, or other sources of contaminated air.
Although unit is weatherproof, avoid locations that permit
water from higher level runoff and overhangs to fall onto the
unit.

FRAME-MOUNTED INSTALLATION — Frame-mounted applications generally follow the sequence for a curb installation. Adapt as required to suit specific installation plan.
Step 3 — Inspect Unit — Inspect unit for transporta-
tion damage. File any claim with transportation agency.
Confirm before installation of unit that voltage, amperage
and circuit protection requirements listed on unit data plate
agree with power supply provided.
On units with hinged panel option, check to be sure all
latches are snug and in closed position.
Locate the carton containing the outside air hood parts; see
Fig. 11 and 12. Do not remove carton until unit has been rigged
and located in final position.
Step 4 — Provide Unit Support
ROOF CURB MOUNT — Accessory roof curb details and
dimensions are shown in Fig. 4. Assemble and install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped with the
curb.
NOTE: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is critical for
a watertight seal. Install gasket supplied with the roof curb as
shown in Fig. 4. Improperly applied gasket can also result in
air leaks and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level. This is necessary for unit drain to
function properly. Unit leveling tolerances are show in Fig. 5.

Install insulation, cant strips, roofing felt, and counter flashing as shown. Ductwork must be attached to curb and not tothe unit.
IMPORTANT: If the unit’s electric and control wiring is to
be routed through the basepan and the unit is equipped with
the factory-installed Thru-the-Base service option see the
following sections:
• Factory-Option Thru-Base Connections on page 19
If using the field-installed Thru-the-Base accessory follow
the instructions provided with the accessory kit.
NOTE: If electrical connection is not going to occur at this
time, tape or otherwise cover the fittings so that moisture does
not get into the building or conduit in the interim.
SLAB MOUNT (HORIZONTAL UNITS ONLY) — Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of 6 in. (150
mm) beyond unit cabinet. Install a gravel apron in front of condenser coil air inlet to prevent grass and foliage from obstructing airflow.
NOTE: Horizontal units may be installed on a roof curb if
required.
ALTERNATE UNIT SUPPORT (IN LIEU OF CURB OR
SLAB MOUNT) — A non-combustible sleeper rail can be
used in the unit curb support area. If sleeper rails cannot be
used, support the long sides of the unit with a minimum of 3
equally spaced 4-in. x 4-in. (102 mm x 102 mm) pads on each
side.
Step 5 — Field Fabricate Ductwork
NOTE: Cabinet return-air static pressure (a negative condition)
shall not exceed 0.35 in. wg (87 Pa) with economizer or 0.45
in. wg (112 Pa) without economizer.
For vertical ducted applications, secure all ducts to roof curb
and building structure. Do not connect ductwork to unit.
Fabricate supply ductwork so that the cross sectional dimensions are equal to or greater than the unit supply duct opening dimensions for the first 18 in. (458 mm) of duct length
from the unit basepan.
Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints, and
roof openings with counter flashing and mastic in accordance
with applicable codes.
Ducts passing through unconditioned spaces 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.
FOR UNITS WITH ACCESSORY OR OPTIONAL ELECTRIC HEATERS — All installations require a minimum
clearance to combustible surfaces of 1-in. (25 mm) from duct
for first 12-in. (305 mm) away from unit.
Outlet grilles must not lie directly below unit discharge.
NOTE: A 90-degree elbow must be provided in the ductwork
to comply with UL (Underwriters Laboratories) code for use
with electric heat.
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury.
For vertical supply and return units, tools or parts could
drop into ductwork and cause an injury. Install a 90-degree
turn in the return ductwork between the unit and the conditioned space. If a 90-degree elbow cannot be installed, then
a grille of sufficient strength and density should be installed
to prevent objects from falling into the conditioned space.
Due to electric heater, supply duct will require 90-degree
elbow.
CAUTION
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to roofing materials.
Membrane roofs can be cut by sharp sheet metal edges. Be
careful when placing any sheet metal parts on such roof.
Step 6 — Rig and Place Unit — When the unit is

Step 10 — Make Electrical Connections
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken electrical ground to minimize the possibility of personal injury if
an electrical fault should occur. This ground may consist of
electrical wire connected to unit ground lug in control compartment, or conduit approved for electrical ground when
installed in accordance with NEC (National Electrical
Code); ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition (in Canada, Canadian Electrical Code CSA [Canadian Standards Association] C22.1), and local electrical codes.
NOTE: Field-supplied wiring shall conform with the limitations of minimum 63°F (3°C) rise.
FIELD POWER SUPPLY — For those units without
through-the-curb power, conduit must be used to route the
main power from the condenser end, via the power entry in the
corner post of the unit (see Fig. 18-20) to either the factory option disconnect or the bottom of the control box. 1-in. conduit
is provided wrapped around compressor. A second conduit is
provided with factory installed powered convenience outlet.
For those units that require conduit larger than 1-in., it must be
field supplied. Figures 18-20 show the wire routings.
If the field disconnect is larger than 100A, it must be attached to the unit using accessory CRDISBKT001A00 — disconnect switch bracket (see Fig. 21). Follow the instructions
provided with this accessory. For smaller field disconnects, be
sure to use
end panel (see Fig. 22). In either case, set the disconnect vertical location on the unit so that a 90 degree fitting can be used to

Provide a ground-fault and short-circuit over-current protection device (fuse or breaker) per NEC Article 440 (or local
codes). Refer to unit informative data plate for MOCP (Maximum Over-current Protection) device size.
NOTE: Units ordered with factory installed HACR do not
need an additional ground-fault and short-circuit over-current
protection device unless local codes require.
Voltage to compressor terminals during operation must be
within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate. On 3-phase
units, voltages between phases must be balanced within 2%
and the current within 10%. Use the following formula to determine the percent of voltage imbalance.

transformer. Refer to unit label diagram for additional
information.
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage.
Operation on improper line voltage or excessive phase
imbalance constitutes abuse and may cause damage to
electrical components. Such operation would invalidate
any applicable Carrier warranty.
NOTE: Check all factory and field electrical connections for
tightness.

CONVENIENCE OUTLETS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Units with convenience outlet circuits may use multiple
disconnects. Check convenience outlet for power status
before opening unit for service. Locate its disconnect
switch, if appropriate, and open it. Lock-out and tag-out
this switch, if necessary.
Two types of convenience outlets are offered on the
50HC**14 models: non-powered and unit-powered. Both
types provide a 125-volt GFCI (ground-fault circuit-interrupter) duplex receptacle rated at 15-A behind a hinged waterproof
access cover, located on the panel beneath the control box. See
Fig. 29.
Non-powered type: This type requires the field 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 and conduit requirements, fuse
or 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 suppl 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. 29.
The primary leads to the convenience outlet transformer are
not factory-connected. Selection of primary power source is a
customer-option. If local codes permit, the transformer primary
leads can be connected at the line-side terminals on the unitmounted non-fused disconnect; this will provide service power
to the unit when the unit disconnect switch is open. Other connection methods will result in the convenience outlet circuit being de-energized when the unit disconnect switch is open. See
Fig. 31. On a unit without a unit-mounted disconnect, connect
the source leads to the main terminal block (TB1).
If the convenience outlet transformer is connected to the
line side of a field disconnect, the conduit provided with the
unit must be used to protect the wire as they are routed from the
transformer to the field disconnect. The end of the conduit with
the straight connector attaches to the field disconnect. The other end does not need to connect to the transformer; however,
the conduit must be routed so that all wiring is either in the conduit or behind the access panel.
If the convenience outlet transformer is connected to the
line side of the factory disconnect option, route the wires
through the web bushing located on the bottom of the disconnect box. For the load side wiring to the factory option disconnect, route the wires through the hole on the right side of the
disconnect. Be sure to create a drip loop at least 6-in. long.
Test the GFCI receptacle by pressing the TEST button on
the face of the receptacle to trip and open the receptacle. Check
for proper grounding wires and power line phasing if the GFCI
receptacle does not trip as required. Press the RESET button to
clear the tripped condition.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Using unit-mounted convenience outlets: Units with unitmounted convenience outlet circuits will often require that
two disconnects be opened to de-energize all power to the
unit. Treat all units as electrically energized until the convenience outlet power is also checked and de-energization
is confirmed. Observe National Electrical Code Article
210, Branch Circuits, for use of convenience outlets.
Installing Weatherproof Cover: A weatherproof while-inuse cover for the factory-installed convenience outlets is now
required by UL standards. This cover cannot be factory-mount-
18

ed due its depth; it must be installed at unit installation. For
shipment, the convenience outlet is covered with a blank cover
plate.
The weatherproof cover kit is shipped in the unit’s control
box. The kit includes the hinged cover, a backing plate and gasket.
DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO UNIT AND CONVENIENCE OUTLET. LOCK-OUT AND TAG-OUT ALL
POWER.
Remove the blank cover plate at the convenience outlet; discard the blank cover.
Loosen the two screws at the GFCI duplex outlet, until approximately
1
/2-in. (13 mm) under screw heads are exposed.
Press the gasket over the screw heads. Slip the backing plate
over the screw heads at the keyhole slots and align with the
gasket; tighten the two screws until snug (do not over-tighten).
Mount the weatherproof cover to the backing plate as
shown in Fig. 32. Remove two slot fillers in the bottom of the
cover to permit service tool cords to exit the cover. Check for
full closing and latching.

HACR — The amp rating of the HACR factory-installed option is based on the size, voltage, indoor motor and other electrical options of the unit as shipped from the factory. If field-installed accessories are added or changed in the field (i.e., power
exhaust), the HACR may no longer be of the proper amp rating
and therefore will need to be removed from the unit. See unit
nameplate and label on factory-installed HACR for the amp
rating of the HACR that was shipped with the unit from the
factory. See unit nameplates for the proper fuse, HACR or

FIELD CONTROL WIRING — The 50HC**14 unit requires an external temperature control device. This device can
be a thermostat (field-supplied) or a PremierLink™ controller
(available as factory-installed option or as field-installed accessory, for use on a Carrier Comfort Network
®
or as a stand alone
control) or the RTU Open Controller for Building Management
Systems using non-CCN protocols (RTU Open controller is
available as a factory-installed option only).
THERMOSTAT — Select a Carrier-approved accessory
thermostat. When electric heat is installed in the 50HC unit, the
thermostat must be capable of energizing the G terminal (to energize the Indoor Fan Contactor) whenever there is a space call
for heat (energizing the W1 terminal). The accessory thermostats listed on the unit price pages can provide this signal but
they are not configured to enable this signal as shipped.
Install the accessory thermostat according to installation in-
structions included with the accessory.
Locate the thermostat accessory on a solid wall in the conditioned space to sense average temperature in accordance with
the thermostat installation instructions.
If the thermostat contains a logic circuit requiring 24-v power, use a thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of different
colors with minimum of seven leads. If the thermostat does not
require a 24-v source (no “C” connection required), use a thermostat cable or equivalent with minimum of six leads. Check
the thermostat installation instructions for additional features
which might require additional conductors in the cable.
For wire runs up to 50 ft (15 m), use no. 18 AWG (American Wire Gage) insulated wire (35°C minimum). For 50 to
75 ft (15 to 23 m), use no. 16 AWG insulated wire (35°C minimum). For over 75 ft (23 m), use no. 14 AWG insulated wire
(35°C minimum). All wire sizes larger than no. 18 AWG
