No hot decks. . .no cold decks. . .
no zoning dampers. . .no energy waste!
It’s what you don’t get with Carrier’s
Zone-Mizer Modular Multizone unit
that sets it apart from all the others.
You don’t get hot decks or cold decks
because the Carrier design gives each
zone module its own cooling coil and
heating section. Each zone module
operates independently. One unit can
heat, cool, dehumidify, reheat, and
ventilate up to 12 different zones simul
taneously. All this means real energy
savings. . .there’s no wasteful duplica
tion of effort as in hot deck/cold deck
units. For still more energy savings,
Zone-Mizer provides up to 3 steps of
electric heat or gas heat with an inter
mittent pilot ignition in every zone.
Something else you don’t get. . .
zoning dampers. Since the Carrier de
sign doesn’t have hot and cold decks, it
doesn’t need zoning dampers. By elimi
nating them from the picture, you
eliminate the adjustments, service, and
operating problems that go along with
zoning dampers.
Five sizes, offering capacities to 37
tons, provide equipment flexibility and
economy. One large unit may serve
where 2 units were required before; or
units of different sizes may be mix/
matched to deliver the heating/cooling
capacity required in a specific applica
tion. And the choice of gas, elecfric or
hot water/glycol coils allows you to
select a unit that can deliver maximurn
operating economy and convenience by
taking advantage of an already available
heating plant or favorable area fuel
rates.
1 Etched solid copper circuit
panels have interchangeable plug-in
relays to minimize parts stocking Cir
cuit breakers that may be used as dis
connect switches, terminal boards to
simplify installation of accessories, a
control circuit shutoff switch and 24volt controls are all standard.
Motorized outdoor air inlet
damper — A simple rheostat adjust
ment on the unit (or on the optional re
mote control panel) sets the damper to
control the amount of outdoor air
admitted.
5 Dependable cooling — Each ser
viceable hermetic compressor system
has cylinder unloaders for capacity con
trol and electric power savings. Crank
case heaters, accumulators, filter driers
and low-ambient starting controls are
also standard.
Time Guard® electrical circuit pre
vents rapid cycling of the compressor if
occupant tampers with the thermostat.
Compressor cannot short-cycle on a
safety device, such as the low-pressure
switch, should someone forget to clean
the air filters.
Capacity control permits a wide oper
ating range. During light loads the com
pressor automatically unloads to re
duce operating costs and maintain
steady compressor operation. When
the load drops below the minimum
unloader stage, the hot gas bypass con
trol provides continuous cooling
operation.
Built-in safety controls prevent
damage to unit components. Included
are high- and low-pressure switches,
overtemperature limit switches and
overload protection for all motors.
When specifying a multizone unit,
choose the one that makes a point of
doing something about installation
problems. . .the Carrier Zone-Mizer
Modular Multizone. It’s a sturdy, onepiece unit — factory-wired, piped, and
charged. It arrives ready to be set in
place on the specially designed roof
curb. Make the power and control con
nections and that’s it. Initial adjust
ments are trouble free — you won’t
even need a factory engineer at start
up. The total package carries the UL
label or is design certified by AGA.
DG
3 Fused 115-volt convenience out
let in the control box provides power at
the unit for work lights and small power
tools.
4 Motormaster® solid-state con
denser fan speed control permits
year-round operation of refrigeration
system down to -20 F ambient.
6 Polyurethane foam sandwich
access panels are of Weather Armor
galvanneal steel. Their thermal resis
tance prevents sweating at outdoor
conditions up to 77 F dew point And
they are strong enough to support a
250-pound man.
Page 3
/ Rugged extruded aluminum
frames and protective grilles provide
strength and good looks. Unit will not
sag during rigging.
Low silhouette — The cabinet has no
vents or hoods to break up the clean
appearance. The curb-mounted unit
seldom requires a parapet to hide it
from street level view.
<5Humidry® coil — This separate
cooling coil dehumidifies the outdoor air
before it is mixed with the return air to
prevent high indoor relative humidities
in humid weather and during partial
load operation.
‘ 5 Large filter area — Over 41 square
feet of standard filter area is factory
supplied. Filter tracks will accept
one-in. or 2-in., high- or low-velocity,
permanent or throwaway, standard or
high-efficiency filters.
10Electric heater section (SOME)
— Each zone module has its own 2- or
3-stage electric heater assembly or hot
water/glycol heating coil. Electric
heaters have 24-volt relays and 115-volt
contactors. Each heating element has
circuit breakers and automatic thermal
reset. Each leg has its own heat limiter
(fusible link).
Each hot water/glycol heating coil
has its own solenoid operated shutoff
valve and balancing valve. All heating
coils are prepiped to supply and return
manifolds which also include a bleed
valve.
Gas heating (48MA) — Each zone
module has stainless steel burners,
Porcelon™ heat exchangers and its
own redundant gas valve. Natural gas
units also have a regulator for each
gas valve. Intermittent pilot ignition
and forced draft combustion are
standard on all units.

Zonc-Mizer^” Modular Multizone concept.
How it works. . .
Outdoor air enterirvg the unit thru the
side louvers is filtered and then cooled
and dehumidified by the Humidry®
cooling coil when mechanical cooling is
operating. Return air entering the unit
from below is mixed with this condi
tioned air The mixture is then filtered.
After passing thru the indoor air fans,
the air is discharged into the individual
zone modules. The air passing thru
each zone module is either cooled or
heated in response to a signal from the
thermostat controlling that module.
This treated air then continues to the
individual zone duct systems, thus pro
viding a constant air pattern and volume
on each cooling coil and heating
assembly
Each zone module cooling coil has its
own solenoid valve to admit refrigerant
when needed. When 2 or more mod
ules are grouped for a larger zone re
t
quirement, 2-stage cooling can be
provided. . .and controlled by one
simple 24-volt mercury bulb thermostat
This condenser end view of unit (034
and 040) shows the 3 outdoor air fans
and the side condenser air inlet grilles.
The 2 end panels may be easily removed
for control box and compressor
accessibility.

and why it’s best.
Low operating costs
On partial load, the Carrier compres
sors unload cylinders to match com
pressor output to cooling needed with
up to 6 steps of reduction. To maintain
balanced operation, the hot gas bypass
system diverts hot refrigerant to the
outdoor air cooling coil as needed.
There is no mixing of warm and cold
airstreams in the modular design. Just
that amount of energy required to heat
or cool a given zone is used — and no
more.
Heating is available 3 ways. . .
Electric heating, provided by 2- or
3-stage electric heaters in each module,
gives up to 36 steps of capacity, again
using the minimum amount of energy.
Hot water/glycol heat may be speci
fied to utilize an already available
heating plant.
Gas heating models utilize inter
mittent pilot ignition in each module
designed to consume a minimum
amount of energy.
Low»temperature operating capa
bility. . .You can use the economizer
cycle with outdoor air for “free cooling,”
as with competing units. However, with
Carrier’s head pressure controlled re
frigeration system, you can often save
money by using refrigeration to cool
the space instead. So-called “free
cooling” is expensive if a large quantity
of cool outdoor air must be heated for
the zones which do not require cooling.
The Carrier refrigeration system can
operate at outdoor temperatures down
to -20 F. The Carrier modular design,
therefore, is not dependent on an
economizer cycle for cooling at low
outdoor temperatures.
Superior humidity control
One of the major concerns in multizone
applications has been the control of
humidity, especially in schools where
moisture comes from large groups of
people as well as from outdoor venti
lation air. The basic Carrier design elim
inates this problem. During mechanical
cooling, all outdoor air that passes thru
the Humidry® outdoor air cooling coil
is dehumidified whenever any zones
require cooling. The air is then further
dehumidified when it passes thru the
zone module cooling coil.
If further dehumidification should be
required for any or all zones, reheat can
be added easily. A humidistat, installed
in the conditioned space to override the
thermostat, energizes the cooling coil
for that zone.
Ease of service
The Zone-Mizer™ Modular Multizone
uses simple, familiar, commercial, ther
mostatic controls for each module,
eliminating the need for factory experts
and complex start-up and service
procedures. The printed control circuit
board has clearly marked terminals for
easy connection of standard 2-stage
heating and one- or 2-stage cooling
thermostats, which are located in
each zone.
Identical relays plug into the circuit
board. Modules can be easily combined
to serve larger spaces by placing
factory-supplied jumper wires on the
premarked terminals.
The entire control system is neatly
organized in one location. For excellent
accessibility, all circuit breakers project
outside so that any motor can be dis
connected without opening the highvoltage box. This often eliminates
the need for separate field-supplied
disconnects.
The handsome Carrier mercury bulb
type thermostats control heating and
cooling modes. They are available with
a locking device which requires an Allen
wrench for access, or you can allow
the zone occupant to set his own
temperature.
Access to the Zone-Mizer Modular
Multizone is thru removable side panels
held in place with simple fasteners. Top
panels may also be removed for com
plete access to unit interior.
In short, the local installing dealer or
contractor can handle all service and
will have available, from the nearest
Carrier distributor, any parts required.

Selection procedure (with example)
Refer to Carrier’s Engineering Guide for Multizone Unit
Systems and contents of this booklet for typical multizone
design considerations. Using the Engineering Guide, cal
culate cooling and heating load estimates for the areas to
be served by the multizone unit. Divide each area into zones
based on the peak load and control requirements within
the area.
The resulting loads calculated for a typical building are;
Selection:
Base the multizone unit selection on cooling load require
ments. Enter the 48MA/50ME rating tables in the Per
formance Data Section and select the unit that meets or
exceeds the grand total load at the specified conditions.
(Interpolation may be necessary to obtain unit rating at
certain conditions; extrapolations are not advised. Contact
Carrier Application Engineering tor performance data at
points beyond the range of published tables.) Tbe 024 size
unit does not have sufficient capacity to meet load
requirements at any cfm. The 028 size exceeds load require
ments; however, it is the smallest unit that meets specifica
tions. Thus, the 48MA/50ME028at: 9000 cfm; 1000 cfm OA;
95 F/75 OA temperature; and 75 F/50% Rh room design has
a Total Capacity (TC) of 282,000 Btuh, Sensible Heat Ca
pacity (SHC) of 219,000 Btuh and a compressor kw of 27.5.
Calculate the Room Total Capacity (RTC) and the Room
Sensible Heat Capacity (RSHC) by deducting the outdoor
air load from the unit capacity. The outdoor air load with
respect to room conditions is:
The 48MA/50ME size meets or exceeds the total and zone
load requirements at the specified conditions. The excess
RTC decreases space average relative humidity slightly
below the room design of 50%. By increasing air quantity
above 9000 cfm, this excess latent capacity can be
converted to additional sensible capacity if desired.
Since the modular multizone is a constant volume
machine, proportion the selected supply cfm per zone to
satisfy each zone’s peak load condition.
Divide room sensible capacities (RSC) equally among
the modules if an equal cfm is going to each. In this
example, the 48MA/50ME028 has 10 modules and the
nominal cfm is 900 cfm per module and equal cfm’s are not
going to each.
Vary the cfm to each zone (with field-supplied manual
dampers in zone ducts) to match different zone require
ments. Since the original rating was based on 9000 cfm
supply air, all variations must total 9000 cfm. When the cfm
is changed (by some percent) from the nominal in a specific
module, use the room capacity multipliers in the Zone
Cooling Capacity Multiplier Table to correct room TC and
room SHC for that zone. Capacity versus cfm changes for
the example is given in the Capacity vs Cfm Change
table.
By analyzing each zone’s ratio of deviation from equal
sensible heat allocation, determine the proper cfm change.
In the example, if building room SHC is 197,200 Btuh and
10 zones are used, each zone’s normal room SHC is
19,720 Btuh. But if Zone 3 has 22,505 Btuh room SHC, then
by ratio of 22,505: 19,720 or 1.14, the cfm change is +20%.
Correspondingly, if Zone 1 had 16,935 Btuh room SHC,
the cfm change is -20%.
In applications where the zone selection is not an incre
ment of the number of unit modules (i.e. one zone requiring
500 cfm in a 48MA/50ME028 with 10,000 cfm), refer to
Module Cfm Limits (page 36), Application Data section for
details on using cfm’s below 600 cfm/module.
Formulas required to use ratings are:
Outdoor Air Total Heat (OATH)
OATH = 4.5 (OA cfm) (hoa - hroom)

Determine Heating Capacity:
The specified requirement for electric heat dictates the
selection of a 50ME028 unit with a kw option that meets
or exceeds the heating load.
The Electric Resistance Heater Data table (page 30) indi
cates that the 028 unit has heating capacity options of 66,
88 and 132 kw. The 132 kw option is selected as it provides
adequate heat for this application. The kw/zone and
number of heat stages available are:
Stages of heat are controlled individually in the small zones
or collectively in large zones to provide flexible and
continuous control for each zone.
Determine fan requirements
For 48MA/50ME operation, cfm range per module is 600
to 1200 cfm. Lower flow volumes are permissible if only
first stage of heat is operated. Volumes above 1200 cfm
may cause water blow-off during cooling.
Since the various unit zones operate at different air
quantities and different external resistances, identify the
zone having the highest static pressure requirement for
the supply duct and supply outlet.
Usually, the longest duct run to the last outlet, with the
greatest number of offsets and elbows, has the greatest
static pressure requirement. Assume a duct friction analysis
has been made and the cfm and static pressure are:
Zone No.CFM
The total unit (02810or 030) cfm is 9000. Zones 4 and 7 have
3 and 2 modules, respectively, “ganged” together to comply
with the limitation of 1200 cfm per module
The cfm for Zone 2 is 1080 with an ESP of 0.8 in. wg. This
module appears to possess the highest friction loss. There
fore, the main fan static pressure is established at 8 in. wg
ESP.
Enter Fan Performance table at 9000 cfm, .8 in. wg ESP
and read: 1020 rpm and 5.4 bhp. The 028 indoor fan motor
data shows the standard 10 hp motor with a maximum bhp
of 11.5. Therefore, 5 4 bhp for this selection is satisfactory.
In the Physical Data table, 2 pulley selections are available
with the 028: Pulley A, shipped mounted; Pulley B, shipped
in the blower compartment. Pulley A has a fixed pitch and
at 1095 rpm is close enough to the required cfm and should
be used. Pulley B at 1230 rpm allows selection of the unit
at higher cfm’s and static pressures.

General information
UNIT
Where a single feeder is to be used, the cooling power tap
may be sized according to the Cooling Minimum Wire Amps
shown in the Power Wiring Data table provided the tap is
10 ft or less in length and enclosed in a raceway.
Similarly, the heating power tap may be sized according
to the Heating Minimum Wire Amps shown in the table pro
vided the tap is 25 ft or less in length and enclosed in a
raceway.
If reheat is necessary for humidity control in all or part
of the modules, use caution in sizing common feeder as
heating and cooling can occur simultaneously in each reheat
module.
For 200/230-volt units, line protection is internal to the
unit. For 460/575-volt units, overcurrent protection must
be provided in each power tap per NEC.

Electriccü data (cont)
Operating sequence
When unit power is on and no zone thermostat is calling for
cooling or heating, the indoor air fan and crankcase heaters
are on. The outdoor air dampers are at the preset position,
the burner pilots are lit and the forced-draft fan is on.
Electric heat lockout — If any zone module is operating
on mechanical cooling (compressor is operating as de
scribed previously) one heating element in each zone
module is locked out and cannot be energized.
Cooling — On call for cooling from a zone, compressor no.
1 with 2 unloaders starts; a liquid line solenoid for that
zone evaporator coil(s) opens and outdoor air fan motor
no. 1 starts. Compressor will load or unload in response to
suction pressure as required. If additional cooling is re
quired (i.e. more zones call for cooling), compressor no. 2
(no unloaders) will be energized and cycle as required.
If the heat load is not sufficient to maintain operation of
compressor no. 1 in an unloaded condition, the hot gas
bypass valve will meter hot gas to the outdoor air evap
orator coil to supply additional load The Motormaster®
head pressure control will vary speed of outdoor air fan
motor no. 1 to regulate the airflow across the condenser
coil.
As required, outdoor air fan no. 2 (and no. 3 on 034 and
040) will cycle on and off in response to head pressure via
a fan cycling switch.
■ Gas heating — On call for heating from a zone, the gas
valve is energized. The heat exchanger for that zone will
be at full-rate firing. Reheat humidity control can be
achieved by wiring a humidistat in parallel with the cooling
thermostat. If zone temperature drops below setting of
heating thermostat because humidistat is closed, heating
mode will be energized to maintain zone space temperature.
Hot water/glycol heating — On call for heat from a zone
thermostat, the heating relay and heating coil solenoid valve
for that zone are energized. If 2 or more zone modules are
joined to serve a common zone, stage 2 of the heating
thermostat may be used to provide staged heating capacity
control.
Reheat humidity control can be achieved by wiring a
humidistat in parallel with the cooling thermostat. If the
zone temperature drops below setting of heating thermo
stat because humidistat is closed, heating mode will be
energized to maintain zone space temperature.
Modulating outdoor air control (economizer) — When
outdoor air temperature drops to outdoor thermostat
setting (55 F adjustable), the compressors are locked out.
When a zone calls for cooling, the mixed air thermostat
(58 F adjustable) modulates the outdoor air dampers to
permit cooling with outdoor air.
Exhaust air dampers — When unit is in economizer
mode, the exhaust relay energizes the outdoor air fans at
full speed As the outdoor air dampers open and the return
air dampers close in response to the mixed air thermostat,
the exhaust air dampers open to permit power exhaust of
returning indoor air.
Electric heating — On call for heating from a zone, the
first-stage heating relay activates the first-stage contactor
which energizes the first-stage heating clement. On call for
additional heating, the second stage of the thermostat
activates the second-stage relay, contactor and heating
element. If unit has 3-stage heat, the third (last) stage of
heat can be energized only if the outdoor air temperature is
below the outdoor air thermostat setting (adjustable). If the
outdoor air temperature is above the outdoor air thermo
stat setting, the last stage of heat is locked out on all zone
modules. The heating elements are connected so that the
load on the 3-phase power supply is always nearly balanced.
Roll filter — As filter media becomes clogged, an air
pressure switch activates a drive motor to automatically
advance clean filter media into the return airstream. A
filter light can be used to indicate that filter media roll has
been expended.
Remote control panel — This central station control will
operate the unit or override zone thermostat settings to
lock out heating or cooling. Panel has a DAY/NIGHT
switch and a damper position knob for in-space central
^ control of these functions, and a FILTER light to indicate
' reduced airflow and need for clean filters.

Refrigeration system
Psychrometrics — The 48MA/50ME units differ psychro-
metrically from the conventional multizones due to the
operation of the outdoor air coil. The coil in the Carrier units
cools and dehumidifies the outdoor air entering the unit thus
assuring that raw outdoor air is not passed along to the
zones. This air treatment by the outdoor air coil (and also by
the zone module evaporator coils) provides excellent low
load performance and precise temperature control to the
conditioned space. The only large load variation occurs on
the outdoor air coil where a thermal expansion valve is used.
This allows the use of simple capillary tube expansion de
vices on the zone coils. The zone coils cool and dehumidify
a mixture of return air and outdoor air — outdoor air at the
approximate dew point temperature of the return air.
The Psychrometric Chart illustrates this air treatment for
a typical set of conditions. As an example: 1000 cfm of
outdoor air at 95 F/75 F having 99 grains moisture content
enters the outdoor air coil and is cooled and treated so that
the air leaving the coil has 68 grains of moisture content.
The outdoor air coil under these conditions has a capacity
of 60,000 Btuh of which 39,000 Btuh is sensible. This is a
coil sensible heat factor of 0.65. By examining the room
conditions, it is evident that the outdoor air coil is very
effective in removing the latent load. At 75 F/50%, the room
content is 64 grains of moisture. The percent moisture
removed with respect to room conditions is:
% removed
99-64
100 = -1^ = 88.5%
oO
The 1000 cfm of outdoor air at 68 grains is mixed with
8000 cfm of return air at 75 F/50% room conditions (64
grains). This mixture then enters the zone modules and is
cooled and dehumidified by the zone coil.
Heating
Gas heating system — In special applications where
natural gas supply is limited, modify units to operate under
derated input/output conditions. Derate the modular multi
zone by changing the zone module burner spuds as follows:

Hot water/glycol heating system — Multizone hot
water/glycol heating systems are ideal for renovation of
existing buildings where a hot water heating plant is usually
available. Each zone module has its own high-capacity

heating coil. One connection is required for supply and
return hot water/glycol. Connect external piping to the unit
in accordance with existing codes. Include proper relief
for water flow (the maximum allowable hot water/glycol
system working pressure is 30 psi) or a modulating control
to compensate for decrease in water flow rate to zone coils
under partial load conditions when some coils are cycled
closed. System heater coils operate with a water/glycol
solution of 20% minimum glycol for proper freeze-up
protection. Select and rate hot water/glycol using Hot
Water/Glycol Heating Capacities graphs.
Do not install hot water/glycol on a steam system. Where
steam is the only heating medium available, use a steam-towater converter or a steam-to-water interchanger.
Field-fabricated ductwork
To simplify supply air connection, field fabricate and install
a zone duct plenum. Duct plenum may be installed prior
to unit positioning if desired. Zone supply air duct openings
on base unit are fitted with a tab slot connection similar to
those on plenum except for end partitions which are
HOT WATER/GLYCOL HEATING CAPACITIES
(Hot Water with 20% Ethylene Glycol Solution)
hemmed. This hem is positioned so that the 1-in. flange at
the entering end of the field-fabricated plenum will force-fit
between it and adjacent unit frame member.
Use standard flexible duct connections between duct
plenum and duct system. Follow applicable codes.
Insulate supply air ducts passing thru unconditioned
spaces and cover with vapor barrier. Separate parallel
duct runs of longer than 5 ft by insulation to prevent heat
transfer between zone ducts.
Return air duct connection consists of 4 sheet metal
flanges.
Balancing dampers — Provide suitable balancing
dampers in each zone duct run. Normally, a 2-bladed
damper is preferred to a single blade. Adjust the balancing
dampers to give the desired airflow and static pressures in
each module. Ready access to balancing dampers is neces
sary in a multizone system.
Low cfm, long run zones — If possible, avoid small
zones with long runs. As the cfm decreases at a given duct

velocity, the friction loss per 100 ft increases significantly.
Also, seam and joint leakage in a small duct of long length
can prevent delivery of required cfm at the outlet grille. If
long runs with low cfm are inevitable, oversize the ducts
to give lower velocities, lower friction rates and reduced
leakage rates.
Diversity
The size, shape and orientation of the building, as well as
the application and location of zones, influence the degree
of diversity applied to a multizone system.
Since the normal application of multizone units involves
zones where loads are shifting due to solar energy, people,
equipment and lights, diversity will exist.
The Carrier modular multizones will be affected by
building diversity only on refrigeration system operation.
When a particular zone (or zones) thermostats are satis
fied, a solenoid shuts off the zone evaporator coil. This
enables more refrigerant to flow to other operating zone
coils, creating a larger capacity for that zone. However,
the diversity will lower the selected unit total capacities.
The 48MA/50ME ratings do not reflect diversity but can
be converted to diversity ratings by using the capacity
correction factors and formulas in the Capacity Correction
Factor table.

This is accomplished by rating the unit assuming that no
more than 9 or 10 zones would be on at one time, 90%
diversity The same logic applies to other diversity factors
on an average basis, such as 85 or 95%.
A rating with a diversity factor results in a lower room
SHF, therefore, a reselection at a higher total unit cfm is
advisable to take full advantage of the building diversity.
Limitations
Module cfm limits and fan performance — The cfm
limits per zone are 1200 cfm maximum and 600 cfm mini
mum. The outboard zones in the 8-, 10- and 12-module
units are limited to a maximum of 1000 cfm. The limita
tions are necessary to prevent blow-off to the heat ex
changers and into the ductwork. The minimum limit pre
vents burner cycling on limit switches and prevents electric
heater cycling. At reduced cfm’s, zone evaporator coils
overfeed refrigerant, but there is no liquid flood-back to the
compressor as it is protected by a suction line accumulator.
For applications below 600 cfm, modify heating controls
as follows:
Gas fired (300 to 599 cfm) — Derate burners as shown
on page 33.
Electric Resistance (450 to 599 cfm) — Use first- and
second-stage heat on 3-stage units.
Electric Resistance (300 to 449 cfm) — Use first-stage
heat on 2- or 3-stage heat units.
Design the duct system so that differences between ad
jacent zones is kept to a minimum. THs reduces internal
air leakage between zones in the evaporator section.
Optimum performance is delivered in the 800 to 1000 cfm
range. Extremely low cfm requirements reduce unit cooling
capacity. For low zone cfm applications, size the zone for
a higher cfm (to increase unit efficiency) and divert the
extra air into the return air system or a larger interior space.
Do not divert extra air into spaces with different perimeter
wall orientations.
Fan performance data are based on 15% outdoor air.
When the outdoor air dampers are closed and there is no
outdoor ventilation air into the unit, unit cfm is reduced by
2% to 6%. This reduction is due to the static pressure drops
existing in the separate airflows thru the unit. This reduction
is significant in special applications where little or no
ventilation is required and cfm requirements are critically
designed.
Maximum ventilation limits — Under normal mechanical
cooling, the amount of ventilation air that can be introduced
is a function of the outdoor air damper setting and negative
static pressure at the return air intake of the unit. The
Ventilation Air Charts show ventilation air versus negative
static pressure at various settings of the outdoor air
damper. A 5.5 setting of the ventilation control dial is the
maximum opening of the dampers. The ventilation dial can
be set in any position from 0 to 5.5 to obtain the desired
cfm of outdoor air. The ventilation dial is located on the
control panel adjacent to the heating section. NOTE: Out
door air at other unit cfm values is proportional.
Dehumidification applications
A space with a high latent load and a very low sensible load
may require tempering capability for dehumidification.
Typical spaces of this type are conference rooms or visual
aids rooms where people congregate with the lights out.
Dehumidification control is achieved on the 48MA/50ME
unit by wiring a humidistat in parallel with the cooling ther
mostat on any zone requiring dehumidification. This may be
done on one module or all modules. When using dehumidifi
cation control on electric resistance heat units, use extreme
care with power wiring as heating and cooling can operate
simultaneously in each module.
When the zone’s humidity level reaches the setpoint of
the humidistat, mechanical refrigeration is activated for
that zone module and the air is dehumidified and then
tempered on room thermostat demand before being dis
charged to the zoned space.
The 48MA/50ME economizer
The 48MA/50ME units can be equipped with an economizer
control. The control functions as follows, with ambient tem
peratures above the economizer changeover point, the
outdoor air damper is set at the ventilation position,
cooling is accomplished by the compressors when the room
thermostat calls for cooling. If fhe zone is not calling for
cooling, the mixed air is circulated thru the space. When
the ambient temperature drops below the economizer
changeover point, the compressors are locked out and the
damper motor is under control of a mixed air thermostat to
maintain a mixed air temperature low enough to provide
cooling when the room thermostat demands it. NOTE: If a
non-crifical zone opens the unit economizer when most
other zones are in the heating mode, to save energy, dis
connect the wire at spade terminal number 4 of non-critical
zone cooling relay. This will prevent the non-critical zone
from energizing the economizer. Mechanical cooling and
heating are not affected.
If a zone thermostat calls for cooling while in economizer
mode, a set of cooling relay contacts close, energizing the
economizer relay as shown on the Economizer Condensing
Schematic.
For economizer damper control, the economizer relay
locks out the outside air damper adjustable potentiometer
and shifts the damper control to a Mixed Air Thermostat
(MAT.). The MAT. sensor, located in the fan section,
adjusts the outside air damper to maintain a preset mixed air
temperature as shown on the Economizer Damper Control
Schematic.
The 48MA/50ME economizer operation provides
economic use of outdoor air for low-cost cooling. When all

zone cooling thermostats are satisfied, economizer controls
arc bypassed and the outdoor dampers are modulated to
the minimum ventilation position.
Refer to Economizer Economics to determine if the
addition of an economizer is justified.
Economizer and exhaust performance
An economizer can be factory installed on the 48MA/50ME
since the damper motor and outdoor air damper are
standard equipment. The economizer package consists of a
return air damper, linkage, plug-in relays, MAT. wiring, and
mixed air thermostat.
When the 48MA/50ME unit is on full economizer control,
the supply cfm to the space drops off slightly since the
resistance of the outdoor air intake is generally greater
than that of the return air ductwork. To partially offset
this, the return air dampers have a built-in bypass.
When the outdoor air dampers are fully open and the
return air dampers /uiiy dosed, the total cfm drops 15%.
The total cfm consists of 70% outdoor air and 30% return air
thru the built-in bypass. If, for example, the unit normally
operates at 10,000 cfm supply air, the minimum supply cfm
ECONOMIZER OPERATION
when the economizer is operational is 8500. This 8500 cfm
consists of 6000 cfm outdoor air and 2500 cfm return air. As
the ambient temperature drops from 48 F (recommended
economizer setpoint), the proportion of outdoor air to
the supply air required to maintain mixed air temperature is
less, the outdoor air damper begins to close, and return
air damper begins to open. As this happens, total supply
cfm progressively increases from 8500 cfm to 10,000 cfm
(design).
An exhaust damper is also available for use with the
economizer. It is located between the return air plenum and
the condenser fans. The exhaust damper consists of a plug
in relay, an exhaust damper, and a plug-in jumper. The
damper provides a forced exhaust of indoor air during the
economizer operation. The exhaust damper opens when
the return air damper is 25% closed. With the damper
installed, exhaust relay and economizer relay are energized
simultaneously. The exhaust relay locks out the outdoor
fan motor controls. Outdoor (condensing) fan motors
operate at full speed, discharging excess return air to the
atmosphere thru the open exhaust damper as shown in
Exhaust Damper Operation.

The 48MA/50ME exhaust operation is similar in per
formance to a relief damper except that the exhaust
dampers are mechanically linked to the return air dampers
and the condenser fans operate to produce a pressure
differential which aids the exhaust cycle. At approximately
0 in. wg at the return air opening, the 48MA/50ME units
exhaust between 150 to 200 cfm/ton. With positive return
static, more air is exhausted. At -0.40 in. wg (.25 in. wg on
the 016 unit) return air static, exhaust capabilities of the
units drop to zero.
In the previous example, the 4000 cfm exhausted at
0 in. return static accounts for all but 1100 cfm outdoor air
introduced by the economizer outside air section. In
practice, this excess cfm is considered a nominal ventila
tion rate, slightly pressurizing a building to eliminate drafts
and unwanted air seepage. This excess air filters out of the
building thru doors and window spaces. The slight positive
pressurization of the building aids the exhaust fans in
removing air. If, however, the balance between the building
static and exhaust system leaves the building with un
acceptably high positive static pressures, a relief ventilator
or roof power exhauster may be used. For extensive or
complicated return air duct systems with static pressure
greater than -0.2 in. wg at the return air plenum, duct
mounted return air exhaust fans can be installed.
Return air systems
If the ceiling plenum on a top floor is used as a return air
plenum, the return air is heated from the time it leaves the
room and enters the unit. This added plenum heat is due to
roof load or heat from lighting. The roof load does not raise
the return air temperature significantly and its effect is
negligible when selecting a unit.
Return air light troffers, however, can add considerable
heat to the return air. A 48MA/50ME unit with a return air
light troffer system can impose various design problems
since the purpose of the system is to reduce the supply
cfm to the space by reducing the space load. With the
48MA/50ME this may result in a very low supply cfm —
much lower than the unit was designed for. If the supply
cfm is raised to satisfy the unit, the purpose of the return
air light troffers is defeated. As a general rule, a return air

temperature rise of 5 to 10 F does not cause a problem, and
special ratings can be made available.
In addition, when the supply cfm is reduced, as above,
the outdoor air quantity remains constant. This results in
a higher than normal percentage of outdoor air which the
48MA/50ME unit may not be capable of introducing For
return air light troffer systems, exercise care when using the
light manufacturer’s data concerning the amount of heat
actually returned to the unit because with the higher
return air temperature, a portion of the heat is trans
mitted back to the space thru the ceiling.
Economizer economics
Economizer control on a multizone unit does not neces
sarily reduce operating cost as it would on a single zone unit.
A single zone unit either heats or cools; a multizone unit can
do both simultaneously. Therefore, in a multizone, the
economizer operates to maintain a mixed air temperature
low enough to cool a zone with a high internal load. The
remaining zones requiring less cooling or heating must have
heat added to offset cooling capacity available but not
needed. This is true of any multizone with any type of con
trol system.
The amount of heat required to neutralize the over
cooling capacity is dependent on.
1. The percent cooling capacity required from the unit, and
2. The mixed air temperature required to satisfy the zone
with the highest internal load.
As the ambient temperature drops, the percent of out
door air needed to maintain a mixed air temperature is
less Since the reheat or wasted heat added is a function
of the difference between outdoor air introduced and venti
lation rate, operating cost is reduced at lower ambients. A
high ventilation rate also reduces the reheat requirement
and associated cost. The following example illustrates the
need for a careful analysis of job requirements before
arbitrarily selecting economizer control
Example.
A 48MA/50ME unit is operating with economizer control
and supplying 10,000 cfm of 55 F mixed air. The normal
ventilation rate is 2000 cfm. Assuming a realistic cooling
load of 50%, 5000 cfm of the 55 F air is used for cooling.
Since the ventilation rate is 2000 cfm, half is sent to the
cooling zones leaving 4000 cfm of low-cost cooling The
remaining 5000 cfm of 55 F air, including 1000 cfm of ventila
tion air, is going to zones with either no load or a heating
load and must be neutralized.
Although 4000 cfm of low-cost cooling is obtained, an
extra 4000 cfm of air must be heated to some degree above
that of a unit without economizer controls
For an identical unit without economizer control, only
4000 cfm of the 5000 cfm needed for cooling requires me
chanical cooling, since the 1000 cfm of ventilation air is
already cooled. Of the other 5000 cfm, 4000 cfm is return air
and is neutral, and 1000 cfm is ventilation air to be heated In
the final analysis, it must be determined if it is more eco
nomical to heat 4000 cfm from 55 F to 75 F, or to cool it from
75 F to 55 F The answer depends on the efficiency of the
cooling and heating source.
As an example of economizer economics, the Econo
mizer Break-Even Point graph plots percent cooling load
versus relative energy cost (electricity to gas) and is based
on the following typical assumptions:
48MA028 — 10,000 cfm, 15% outdoor air
48 E outdoor changeover temperature
75 E room design
55 E supply air temperature
Compressor C.O P. of 3.3 (100 F condensing
temperature and unloaded compressor were
used to obtain this value)
The relative cost figures are in $/Btu input for gas and $/kwh
electric cost converted to Btu
Example:
$.25/100,000 Btu (input) — gas cost
$.031/kwh — electric cost
Convert electric cost:
$.031/kwh x kwh/3413Btu x
= $.91/100,000 Btu
Cost Ratio.
$.91/100,000 Btu _
.25/100,000 Btu
For 48MA units, the cooling load must be greater than
48% to justify use of economizer.
For 50ME electric heat units, the cooling load break-even
point is 70%; the internal load must be greater than 70% to
justify economizer control.
The cooling load for this comparison is the internal load
(lights and people) minus the negative transmission at the
changeover temperature (48 F). To determine the percent
cooling load, compare this value to the unit design cooling
capacity

ZONE CONTROL BOARD
SOME
Night setback
Night setback control can be added to a 48MA/50ME unit
using field-supplied components. There are 3 sets of ferminals on fhe accessory section as shown in Zone Control
Board. Terminal sets are: cooling lockout (CL), night
setback (NS) and “Short To Close Dampers.” Red jurhpers
are factory wired across CL and NS; “Short To Close
Dampers” are bare. If the circuit between CL terminals is
broken, 115-v power to the compressor control circuit
liquid line solenoids and economizer thermostat (if used) is
shut off. If the circuit between NS terminals is broken, 115-v
power to the zone control transformers is shut off. By
replacing both jumpers with appropriate switches and
connecting proper switch across “Short To Close
Dampers,” NS control is attained. The 3 most common
methods of Night Setback are described below.
For details of actual Night Setback wiring connections,
refer to 48MÀ/50ME wiring booklets.
Method no. 1 — heating night setback cooling
locked out, and continuous indoor fan operation —
This NS system requires a 7-day timer, a night setback relay
and a thermostat (heating type) 24-v service. In this system,
when timer reaches the “Night” position, CL opens,
dampers close and NS opens. The fan continues to operate.
As the temperature falls, the NS thermostat located in
the average temperature space energizes the NS relay
which in turn energizes the zone control transformers.
The individual zones fhen heat until the NS thermostat is
satisfied. The dampers remain closed and cooling is still
locked out. If a day/nighf switch is used, the NS thermostat
is overridden and heating is controlled by the normal
thermostats.
Method no. 2 — heating night setback, cooling locked
out and cycling indoor fans — This system requires a
remote control panel, a 7-day timer, a night setback
relay and a thermostat (cooling type). This system requires
a master unit relay (MUR) and a master cooling relay (MCR)
(24-v wiring). Install the timer and the NS relay in proximity
to the remote control panel. This places all wiring inside the
building in one area.
In this system, the MUR is energized by the NS controls.
This opens a set of normally closed contacts and shuts
down the unit, including indoor fans. The outdoor air
dampers are also closed by the MUR. Cooling lockout is
attained by energizing the MCR. Energizing these 2 relays
turns the unit off and the NS system seems to work in
reverse.
A cooling thermostat is used on heating NS. When tem
perature rises, the thermostat, in series with the night
switch, energizes the NS relay. Its contacts close and, in
series with the time clock contacts, energize the MUR.
As the space temperature lowers to the NS setting, the NS
thermostat de-energizes the NS relay which de-energizes
the MUR, turning on the unit. The day/night switch over
rides the NS clock and heating occurs because the NS relay
is Ì le-energized. The factory jumpers remain across CL and
NS terminals. The dampers close when the indoor fans
start. To keep them closed, short across the W-R terminals
on the remote control panel or the “Short To Close
Dampers” terminals during the NS period.
41
Page 42
Method no. 3 — heating and cooling night setback and
indoor fan cycling — This system requires a remote
control panel, a heating and cooling thermostat with
subbase, a night setback relay and a 7-day timer.
Because cooling is not locked out, the clock switches that
close at night close the outdoor air dampers by connecting
across R and W on the remote panel accessory. The MUR
shuts down the unit (including the indoor fans). When the
NS thermostats reach their settings, the NS relay is
energized, opening the NC contacts and de-energizing
the MUR.
However, if a “wild” zone exists, it is allowed to cool
on heating NS or vice versa. This may be an advantage on
some applications between zones. When the day/night is
switched to “Day,” the NS is overridden and the unit
operates normally except the dampers remain closed at
night. The 2 jumper wires have to be removed from the
back of the remote panel to isolate the day/night switch.
Morning start-up — To conserve energy and lower total
operating costs, the outdoor dampers may be closed when
starting the system in the morning. During a warm-up
period, when the system is opeated for one or 2 hours
before occupancy, heat only building return air. The extra
load of cold outdoor air introduced uses extra heat energy.
Ventilation is unnecessary until space is occupied, so the air
introduced produces unnecessary heat waste.
This principle holds true on a cooling day, when outside
air transmits heat and moisture to the evaporator coil. This
extra load above the return air only load is an unnecessary
expense.
To offset this, wire a heating or cooling thermostat
across the “Short To Close Dampers” terminals on the
zone control board. The thermostat senses return air
temperature and the outdoor air damper does not open
until the building is at the required temperature.
A time clock can also be used and set as follows:
1. Occupied cycle; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Outdoor air damper is
open and the system is controlled by individual zone
thermostats.
2. Night setback cycle: 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Individual zone
thermostats are on night setback (NS) cycle. The out
door air damper is closed, the unit is reset down and
controlled by NS thermostat.
side air damper is closed by time clock and the system
is controlled by indoor zone thermostats.
Using any method, increased economy is achieved and
building requirements are satisfied.
Sound and vibration
For maximum sound attenuation, locate roof-mounted
multizone units over unoccupied space (i.e. storage areas,
utility rooms, corridors) where slightly higher sound levels
are not objectionable. Line supply and return duct systems
with acoustic material to prevent sound transmission into
occupied space. If open plenum return air systems are used,
install an acoustical trap or fiberglass-lined chamber to
attenuate sound. Use simple return duct elbows and tees
with 5-ft minimum fiberglass-lined legs and low static pres
sure on open plenum return air systems. A method of
forming an acoustical trap using the roof curb area under a
multizone unit is shown on Acoustical Trap Installation.
Special vibration isolating bases and curbs designed for
rooftop applications are available from some vibration
isolator manufacturers. This equipment virtually eliminates
vibration transmission on critical applications. However,

exercise care when selecting this equipment for use with a
multizone. The design and installation of vibration rails on a
Carrier 48MA/50ME should ensure that the interfacing of
the vibration isolator and the curb maintain watertight
integrity.
Thermostat usage and control
Usage — The thermostats used with the 48MA/50ME
units are either a 2-step heat/1-step cool or 2-step heat/
2-step cool. A single module can have only one step of
cooling and heating. When 2 or more modules are grouped
together, use the 2-step heat/2-step cool thermostat.
Typical piping and wiring
Modules are grouped together by the installation of
factory-supplied jumpers on the unit zone control board.
The thermostats are automatic changeover with a 3 F
dead spot between heating and cooling. There is a 1 F
differential between the first and second steps of heating or
cooling. Two subbases are available for use with the thermo
stats; one with off-heat-auto.-cool switch and one without
switches for tamperproof installation. The tamperproof
subbase has provisions for locking the thermostat covei
and temperature selectors. Refer to 48MA/50ME wiring
booklet for thermostat wiring connections.
