adequate space around the unit for servicing. See Fig. 1-3 for
overall unit dimensions. Refer to Fig. 4 for an illustration of a
typical horizontal installation.
VERTICAL AND DOWNFLOW UNITS (50RVC,RVR,
RVS,RDS) — Vertical units are designed for indoor installations. While vertical units are typically installed in a floor-level
closet or a small mechanical room, the unit access guidelines
for these units are very similar to those described for horizontal
units. See Fig. 5-8 for overall dimensions. Refer to Fig. 9 for an
example of a typical vertical installation. Refer to Fig. 10 for a
sample downflow installation.
To avoid equipment damage, do not use these units as a
source of heating or cooling during the construction
process. The mechanical components and filters used in
these units quickly become clogged with construction
dirt and debris which may cause system damage.
Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death. Before
installing or servicing system, always turn off main power
to system. There may be more than one disconnect switch.
Turn off accessory heater power if applicable.
GENERAL
This Installation and Start-Up Instructions literature is for
Aquazone™ water source heat pump systems.
Water source heat pumps (WSHPs) are single-package horizontally and vertically mounted units with electronic controls
designed for year-round cooling and heating. Aquazone
WSHPs are available in the following unit configurations:
• RHC standard efficiency with horizontal airflow and
right, left or back discharge
• RHR high efficiency with horizontal airflow and right,
left or back discharge
• RHS premium efficiency with horizontal airflow and
right, left or back discharge
• RVC standard efficiency with vertical airflow and top
discharge
• RVR high efficiency with vertical airflow and top
discharge
• RVS premium efficiency with vertical airflow and top
discharge
• RDS premium efficiency with vertical airflow and bot-
tom discharge (downflow)
IMPORTANT: The installation of water source heat pump
units and all associated components, parts, and accessories
which make up the installation shall be in accordance with
the regulations of ALL authorities having jurisdiction and
MUST conform to all applicable codes. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to determine and comply
with ALL applicable codes and regulations.
INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Check Jobsite —
maintenance instructions are provided with each unit. Before
unit start-up, read all manuals and become familiar with the
unit and its operation. Thoroughly check out the system before
operation. Complete the inspections and instructions listed
below to prepare a unit for installation. See Tables 1-3 for unit
physical data.
HORIZONTAL UNITS (50RHC,RHR,RHS) — Horizontal
units are designed for indoor installation only. Be sure to allow
Installation, operation and
Step 2 — Check Unit — Upon receipt of shipment at
the jobsite, carefully check the shipment against the bill of
lading. Make sure all units have been received. Inspect the carton or crating of each unit, and inspect each unit for damage.
Ensure the shipping company makes proper notation of any
shortages or damage on all copies of the freight bill. Concealed
damage not discovered during unloading must be reported to
the shipping company within 15 days of receipt of shipment.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all
necessary claims with the shipping company.
1. Verify unit is correct model for entering water temperature of job.
2. Be sure that the location chosen for unit installation provides ambient temperatures maintained above freezing.
Well water applications are especially susceptible to
freezing.
3. Be sure the installation location is isolated from sleeping
areas, private offices and other acoustically sensitive
spaces.
NOTE: A sound control accessory package may be used
to help eliminate sound in sensitive spaces.
4. Check local codes to be sure a secondary drain pan is not
required under the unit.
5. Be sure unit is mounted at a height sufficient to provide
an adequate slope of the condensate lines. If an appropriate slope cannot be achieved, a field-supplied condensate
pump may be required.
6. Provide sufficient space for duct connection.
7. Provide adequate clearance for filter replacement and
drain pan cleaning. Do not allow piping, conduit, etc. to
block filter access.
8. Provide sufficient access to allow maintenance and
servicing of the fan and fan motor, compressor and coils.
Removal of the entire unit from the closet should not be
necessary.
9. Provide an unobstructed path to the unit within the closet
or mechanical room. Space should be sufficient to allow
removal of unit if necessary.
10. Provide ready access to water valves and fittings, and
screwdriver access to unit side panels, discharge collar,
and all electrical connections.
11. Where access to side panels is limited, pre-removal of the
control box side mounting screws may be necessary for
future servicing.

STORAGE — If the equipment is not needed immediately at
the jobsite, it should be left in its shipping carton and stored in a
clean, dry area of the building or in a warehouse. Units must be
stored in an upright position at all times. If carton stacking is
necessary, stack units a maximum of 3 high. Do not remove
any equipment from its shipping package until it is needed for
installation.
PROTECTION — Once the units are properly positioned on
the jobsite, cover them with either a shipping carton, vinyl film,
or an equivalent protective covering. Cap open ends of pipes
stored on the jobsite. This precaution is especially important in
areas where painting, plastering, or spraying of fireproof material, etc. is not yet complete. Foreign material that accumulates
within the units can prevent proper start-up and necessitate
costly clean-up operations.
Before installing any of the system components, be sure to
examine each pipe, fitting, and valve, and remove any dirt or
foreign material found in or on these components.
DO NOT store or install units in corrosive environments or
in locations subject to temperature or humidity extremes
(e.g., attics, garages, rooftops, etc.). Corrosive conditions
and high temperature or humidity can significantly reduce
performance, reliability, and service life. Always move
units in an upright position. Tilting units on their sides may
cause equipment damage.
INSPECT UNIT — To prepare the unit for installation, complete the procedures listed below:
1. Compare the electrical data on the unit nameplate with
ordering and shipping information to verify that the
correct unit has been shipped.
2. Verify that the unit is the correct model for the entering
water temperature of the job.
3. Do not remove the packaging until the unit is ready for
installation.
4. Verify that the refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or dents,
and that it does not touch other unit components.
5. Inspect all electrical connections. Be sure connections are
clean and tight at the terminals.
6. Loosen compressor bolts until the compressor rides freely
on springs. Remove shipping restraints.
7. Remove the four
1
/4 in. shipping bolts from compressor
support plate (two bolts on each side) to maximize vibration and sound alternation.
Failure to remove shipping brackets from spring-mounted
compressors will cause excessive noise and could cause
component failure due to added vibration.
8. Remove any blower support cardboard from inlet of the
blower.
9. Locate and verify any accessory kit located in compressor
section.
10. Remove any access panel screws that may be difficult to
remove once unit is installed.

conversion process is the same for right and left return configurations. See Fig. 11 and 12.
NOTE: It is not possible to convert return air between left or
right return models in the field due to refrigerant piping
changes.
Preparation
— The unit should be on the ground in a well lit
area for conversion. Hung units should be taken down to
ground level before converting.
Side to Back Discharge Conversion
1. Remove screws to free the top and discharge panels. See
Fig. 11.
2. Remove the access panel and set aside.
3. Lift the discharge panel from side of unit and rotate it to
back using care not to damage blower wiring.
4. Check blower wire routing and connections for undo
tension or contact with sheet metal edges. Re-route if
necessary.
5. Check refrigerant tubing for contact with other components. Adjust if necessary.
6. Reinstall top panel using screws set aside in Step 1.
NOTE: Location for some screws at bottom of discharge panel
may have to be changed.
7. Manually spin fan wheel to check for obstructions.
Adjust for any obstruction found.
8. Replace access panel.
Back to Side Discharge Conversion
— Follow instructions
above for Side to Back Discharge Conversion, noting the
panels would be reversed.

Step 3 — Unit Location — The following guidelines
should be considered when choosing a location for a WSHP:
• Units are for indoor use only.
• Locate in areas where ambient temperatures are between
40 F and 100 F and relative humidity is no greater than
75%.
• Provide sufficient space for water, electrical and duct
connections.
• Locate unit in an area that allows easy access and
removal of filter and access panels.
• Allow enough space for service personnel to perform
maintenance.
• Return air must be able to freely enter the space if unit
needs to be installed in a confined area such as a closet.
NOTE: Correct placement of the horizontal unit can play an
important part in minimizing sound problems. Since ductwork is normally applied to these units, the unit can be
placed so that the principal sound emission is outside the occupied space in sound-critical applications. A fire damper
may be required by the local code if a fire wall is penetrated.

Step 4 — Mounting the Unit
HORIZONTAL UNITS (50RHC,RHR,RHS) — Horizontal units
should be mounted using the factory-installed hangers. Proper
attachment of hanging rods to building structure is critical for
safety. See Fig. 4 and 13. Rod attachments must be able to support the weight of the unit. See Tables 1-3 for unit operating
weights.
VERTICAL UNITS (50RVC,RVR,RVS,RDS) — Vertical and
downflow units are available in left or right return air configurations. See Fig. 6-8. Mount the unit (except 50RDS) on a

vibration absorption pad slightly larger than the entire base to
minimize vibration transmission. It is not necessary to mount
the unit on the floor. See Fig. 14.
NOTE: Some codes require the use of a secondary drain pan
under vertical units. Check local codes for more information.
Step 5 — Duct System — Size the duct system to han-
dle the design airflow quietly.
NOTE: Depending on the unit, the fan wheel may have a shipping support installed at the factory. This must be removed
before operating unit.
SOUND ATTENUATION — To eliminate the transfer of
vibration to the duct system, a flexible connector is recommended for both discharge and return air duct connections on
metal duct systems. The supply and return plenums should include internal duct liner of fiberglass or be made of duct board
construction to maximize sound attenuation of the blower.
Installing the WSHP unit to uninsulated ductwork in an unconditioned space is not recommended since it will sweat and
adversely affect the unit’s performance.
To reduce air noise, at least one 90-degree elbow could be
included in the supply and return air ducts, provided system
performance is not adversely impacted. The blower speed can
also be changed in the field to reduce air noise or excessive airflow, provided system performance is not adversely impacted.
EXISTING DUCT SYSTEM — If the unit is connected to
existing ductwork, consider the following:
• Verify that the existing ducts have the proper capacity to
handle the unit airflow. If the ductwork is too small,
install larger ductwork.
• Check existing ductwork for leaks and repair as
necessary.
NOTE: Local codes may require ventilation air to enter the
space for proper indoor air quality. Hard-duct ventilation may
be required for the ventilating air supply. If hard ducted ventilation is not required, be sure that a proper air path is provided
for ventilation air to unit to meet ventilation requirement of the
space.
HORIZONTAL UNITS (50RHC,RHR,RHS) — Slope the
unit toward the drain at a
If it is not possible to meet the required pitch, install a condensate pump at the unit to pump condensate to building drain.
Horizontal units are not internally trapped, therefore an external trap is necessary. Install each unit with its own individual
trap and means to flush or blowout the condensate drain line.
Do not install units with a common trap or vent. For typical
condensate connections see Fig. 16.
NOTE: Never use a pipe size smaller than the connection.
VERTICAL UNITS (50RVC,RVR,RVS) — Each unit uses a
condensate hose inside all cabinets as a trapping loop, therefore
an external trap is not necessary. See Fig. 17.
Each unit must be installed with its own individual vent and
means to flush or blowout the condensate drain line. Do not install units with a common trap or vent.
Fig. 15 — Horizontal Unit Pitch

VENTING — Install a vent in the condensate line of any
application that may allow dirt or air to collect in the line. Consider the following:
• Always install a vent where an application requires a
long horizontal run.
• Always install a vent where large units are working
against higher external static pressure and to allow
proper drainage for multiple units connected to the same
condensate main.
• Be sure to support the line where anticipated sagging from
the condensate or when “double trapping” may occur.
• If condensate pump is present on unit, be sure drain connections have a check valve to prevent back flow of condensate into other units.
Step 7 — Piping Connections — Depending on the
application, there are 3 types of WSHP piping systems to
choose from: water loop, ground-water and ground loop. Refer
to Piping Section of Carrier System Design Manual for additional information.
All WSHP units use low temperature soldered female pipe
thread fittings for water connections to prevent annealing and
out-of-round leak problems which are typically associated with
high temperature brazed connections. Refer to Tables 1-3 for
connection sizes. When making piping connections, consider
the following:
• Use a backup wrench when making screw connections to
unit to prevent internal damage to piping.
• Insulation may be required on piping to avoid condensation in the case where fluid in loop piping operates at
temperatures below dew point of adjacent air.
• Piping systems that contain steel pipes or fittings may
be subject to galvanic corrosion. Dielectric fittings may
be used to isolate the steel parts of the system to avoid
galvanic corrosion.
WATER LOOP APPLICATIONS — Water loop applications
usually include a number of units plumbed to a common piping system. Maintenance to any of these units can introduce air
into the piping system. Therefore, air elimination equipment
comprises a major portion of the mechanical room plumbing.
The flow rate is usually set between 2.25 and 3 gpm per ton
of cooling capacity. For proper maintenance and servicing,
pressure-temperature (P/T) ports are necessary for temperature
and flow verification.
In addition to complying with any applicable codes, consid-
er the following for system piping:
• Piping systems using water temperatures below 50 F
require
to eliminate condensation.
• Avoid all plastic to metal threaded fittings due to the
potential to leak. Use a flange fitted substitute.
• Teflon tape thread sealant is recommended to minimize
internal fouling of the heat exchanger.
• Use backup wrench. Do not overtighten connections.
• Route piping to avoid service access areas to unit.
• Flush the piping system prior to operation to remove dirt
and foreign materials from the system.
GROUND-WATER APPLICATIONS (Not Applicable to
50RHC,RVC Units) — Typical ground-water piping is
shown in Fig. 18. In addition to complying with any applicable codes, consider the following for system piping:
• Install shut-off valves for servicing.
• Install pressure-temperature plugs to measure flow and
temperature.
• Connect boiler drains and other valves using a “T” connector to allow acid flushing for the heat exchanger.
• Do not overtighten connections.
• Route piping to avoid service access areas to unit.
• Use PVC SCH80 or copper piping material.
NOTE: PVC SCH40 should not be used due to system high
pressure and temperature extremes.

Water Supply and Quantity
— Check water supply. Water
supply should be plentiful and of good quality. See Table 4 for
water quality guidelines.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with the above required
water quality and quantity limitations and the closedsystem application design requirements may cause damage
to the tube-in-tube heat exchanger that is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
In all applications, the quality of the water circulated
through the heat exchanger must fall within the ranges listed in
the Water Quality Guidelines table. Consult a local water treatment firm, independent testing facility, or local water authority
for specific recommendations to maintain water quality within
the published limits.
GROUND-LOOP APPLICATIONS (Not Applicable to
50RHC,RVC Units) — Temperatures between 25 to 110 F
and a cooling capacity of 2.25 to 3 gpm of flow per ton is recommended. In addition to complying with any applicable
codes, consider the following for system piping:
• Limit piping materials to only polyethylene fusion in the
buried sections of the loop.
• Do not use galvanized or steel fittings at any time due to
corrosion.
• Avoid all plastic to metal threaded fittings due to the
potential to leak. Use a flange fitted substitute.
• Do not overtighten connections.
• Route piping to avoid service access areas to unit.
• Use pressure-temperature (P/T) plugs to measure flow of
pressure drop.

†Sulfides in the water quickly oxidize when exposed to air, requiring that no agitation occur as the sample is taken.
Unless tested immediately at the site, the sample will require stabilization with a few drops of one Molar zinc acetate
solution, allowing accurate sulfide determination up to 24 hours after sampling. A low pH and high alkalinity cause system problems, even when both values are within ranges shown. The term pH refers to the acidity, basicity, or neutrality
of the water supply. Below 7.0, the water is considered to be acidic. Above 7.0, water is considered to be basic. Neutral
water contains a pH of 7.0.
NOTE: To convert ppm to grains per gallon, divide by 17. Hardness in mg/l is equivalent to ppm.
than 125 ppm are present. (Seawater is approximately 25,000 ppm.)

Step 8 — Field Power Supply Wiring
To avoid possible injury or death due to electrical shock,
open the power supply disconnect switch and secure it in
an open position during installation.
Use only copper conductors for field-installed electrical
wiring. Unit terminals are not designed to accept other
types of conductors. Failure to follow this safety precaution
could lead to equipment damage.
All field installed wiring, including the electrical ground,
MUST comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) as
well as applicable local codes. In addition, all field wiring must
conform to the Class II temperature limitations described in the
NEC.
Refer to unit wiring diagrams Fig. 19-22 for a schematic of
the field connections, which must be made by the installing (or
electrical) contractor. Refer to Tables 5-7 for fuse sizes.
Consult the unit wiring diagram located on the inside of the
compressor access panel to ensure proper electrical hookup.
The installing (or electrical) contractor must make the field
connections when using field-supplied disconnect.
Operating voltage must be the same voltage and phase as
shown in Electrical Data shown in Tables 5-7.
Make all final electrical connections with a length of flexible conduit to minimize vibration and sound transmission to
the building.
POWER CONNECTION — Make line voltage connection
by connecting the incoming line voltage wires to the L side
of the CC terminal as shown in Fig. 23. See Tables 5-7 for
correct wire and maximum overcurrent protection sizing.
SUPPLY VOLTAGE — Operating voltage to unit must be
within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate.
On 3-phase units, voltages under load between phases must
be balanced within 2%. Use the following formula to determine the percentage voltage imbalance:
% Voltage Imbalance
= 100 x
max voltage deviation from average voltage
average voltage
Example: Supply voltage is 460-3-60.
AB = 452 volts
BC = 464 volts
AC = 455 volts
Average Voltage =
452 + 464 + 455
1371
=
3
= 457
3
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage:
(AB) 457 – 452 = 5 v
(BC) 464 – 457 = 7 v
(AC) 457 – 455 = 2 v
Maximum deviation is 7 v.
Determine percent voltage imbalance.
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x
= 1.53%
This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is
below the maximum allowable 2%.
Operation on improper line voltage or excessive phase
imbalance constitutes abuse and may cause damage to electrical components.
NOTE: If more than 2% voltage imbalance is present, contact
your local electric utility.
208-VOLT OPERATION — All 208-230 volt units are factory
wired for 208 volts. The transformers may be switched to
230-volt operation by switching the red (208 volt) wire with
the orange (230 volt) wire at the L1 terminal.

Step 9 — Field Control Wiring
THERMOSTAT CONNECTIONS — The thermostat should
be wired directly to the Aquazone™ control board. See
Fig. 19-22, and 24.
WATER FREEZE PROTECTION — The Aquazone control
allows the field selection of source fluid freeze protection
points through jumpers. The factory setting of jumper JW3
(FP1) is set for water at 30 F. In earth loop applications, jumper
JW3 should be clipped to change the setting to 10 F when
using antifreeze in colder earth loop applications. See Fig. 25.
AIR COIL FREEZE PROTECTION — The air coil freeze
protection jumper JW2 (FP2) is factory set for 30 F and should
not need adjusting.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS — Terminal A on the control
is provided to control accessory devices such as water valves,
electronic air cleaners, humidifiers, etc. This signal operates
with the compressor terminal. See Fig. 26. Refer to the specific
unit wiring schematic for details.
NOTE: The A terminal should only be used with 24 volt
signals — not line voltage signals.
WATER SOLENOID VALVES — Water solenoid valves may
be used on primary secondary pump and ground water installations. A typical well water control valve wiring, which can
limit waste water in a lockout condition is shown in Fig. 26. A
slow closing valve may be required to prevent water hammer.
When using a slow closing valve, consider special wiring conditions. The valve takes approximately 60 seconds to open
(very little water will flow before 45 seconds) and it activates
the compressor only after the valve is completely opened by
closing its end switch. When wired as shown, the valve will
have the following operating characteristics:
1. Remain open during a lockout
2. Draw approximately 25 to 35 VA through the “Y” signal
of the thermostat.
IMPORTANT: Connecting a water solenoid valve can
overheat the anticipators of electromechanical thermostats. Only use relay based electronic thermostats.

Units with Modulating Hot Water Reheat
(HWR) Option —
Reheat (HWR) can operate in three modes: cooling, cooling
with reheat, and heating. The cooling and heating modes are
like other Aquazone™ water source heat pumps. The reversing
A heat pump equipped with Hot Water
valve ("O" signal) is energized in cooling, along with the compressor contactor(s) and blower relay. In the heating mode, the
reversing valve is deenergized. Almost any thermostat will
activate the heat pump in heating or cooling modes. The
Deluxe D microprocessor board, which is standard with the
HWR option, will accept either heat pump (Y,O) thermostats
or non-heat pump (Y,W) thermostats.
The reheat mode requires either a separate humidistat/
dehumidistat or a thermostat that has an integrated dehumidification function for activation. The Deluxe D board is configured to work with either a humidistat or dehumidistat input to
terminal “H” (DIP switch settings for the Deluxe D board are
shown in Table 16). Upon receiving an “H” input, the Deluxe
D board will activate the cooling mode and engage reheat.

Table 17 shows the relationship between thermostat input
signals and unit operation. There are four operational inputs for
single stage units and six operational inputs for dual stage
units:
ATIONS — Unlike most hot gas reheat options, the modulating HWR option (RVC,RHS,RVS,RDS only) will operate over a wide range of entering-water temperatures
(EWTs). Special flow regulation (water regulating valve) is
not required for low EWT conditions. However, below 55 F,
supply-air temperatures cannot be maintained at 72 F
because the cooling capacity exceeds the reheat coil capacity at low water temperatures. Below 55 F, essentially all
water is diverted to the reheat coil (no heat of rejection to
the building loop). Although the HWR option will work fine
with low EWTs, overcooling of the space may result with
well water systems or, on rare occasions, with ground loop
(geothermal) systems (NOTE: Extended range units are
required for well water and ground loop systems). Since
dehumidification is generally only required in cooling, most
ground loop systems will not experience overcooling of the
supply-air temperature. If overcooling of the space is a concern (e.g., computer room well water application), auxiliary
heating may be required to maintain space temperature
when the unit is operating in the dehumidification mode.
Water source heat pumps with HWR should not be used as
makeup air units. These applications should use equipment
specifically designed for makeup air.
HWR COMPONENT FUNCTIONS — The proportional
controller operates on 24 VAC power supply and automatically
adjusts the water valve based on the supply-air sensor. The
supply-air sensor senses supply-air temperature at the blower
inlet, providing the input signal necessary for the proportional
control to drive the motorized valve during the reheat mode of
operation. The motorized valve is a proportional actuator/threeway valve combination used to divert the condenser water
from the coax to the hydronic reheat coil during the reheat
mode of operation. The proportional controller sends a signal
to the motorized valve based on the supply-air temperature
reading from the supply air sensor.
The loop pump circulates condenser water through the hydronic reheat coil during the reheat mode of operation (refer to
Fig. 28). In this application, the loop pump is only energized
31
during the reheat mode of operation. The hydronic coil is utilized during the reheat mode of operation to reheat the air to the
set point of the proportional controller. Condenser water is diverted by the motorized valve and pumped through the hydronic coil by the loop pump in proportion to the control set point.
The amount of reheating is dependent on the set point and how
far from the set point the supply air temperature is. The factory
set point is 70 to 75 F, generally considered "neutral" air.
D Control Accessory Relay Configurations —
The following accessory relay settings are applicable for both
D controls only:
CYCLE WITH FAN — In this configuration, the relay will be
ON any time the Fan Enable relay is on.
CYCLE WITH COMPRESSOR — In this configuration, the
relay will be ON any time the Compressor relay is on.
DIGITAL NIGHT SET BACK (NSB) — In this configuration, the relay will be ON if the NSB input is connected to
ground C.
NOTE: If there are no relays configured for digital NSB, then
the NSB and override (OVR) inputs are automatically configured for mechanical operation.
MECHANICAL NIGHT SET BACK — When NSB input is
connected to ground C, all thermostat inputs are ignored. A
thermostat set back heating call will then be connected to the
OVR input. If OVR input becomes active, then the D control
will enter Night Low Limit (NLL) staged heating mode. The
NLL staged heating mode will then provide heating during the
NSB period.
Water Valve (Slow Opening) — If relay is config-
ured for Water Valve (slow opening), the relay will start 60 seconds prior to starting compressor relay.
Outside Air Damper (OAD) — If relay is configured
for OAD, the relay will normally be ON any time the Fan
Enable relay is energized. The relay will not start for
30 minutes following a return to normal mode from NSB,
when NSB is no longer connected to ground C. After 30 minutes, the relay will start if the Fan Enable is set to ON.
To avoid equipment damage, DO NOT leave system filled
in a building without heat during the winter unless antifreeze is added to system water. Condenser coils never
fully drain by themselves and will freeze unless winterized
with antifreeze.

Operating Limits
ENVIRONMENT — This equipment is designed for indoor
installation ONLY. Extreme variations in temperature, humidity and corrosive water or air will adversely affect the
unit performance, reliability and service life.
POWER SUPPLY — A voltage variation of ± 10% of
nameplate utilization voltage is acceptable.
UNIT STARTING CONDITIONS — Depending on the
model, units start and operate in an ambient temperature of
45 F with entering-air temperature at 40 F or 50 F, enteringwater temperature at 20 F or 50 F and with both air and water at
the flow rates used.
NOTE: These operating limits are not normal or continuous
operating conditions. Assume that such a start-up is for the
purpose of bringing the building space up to occupancy
temperature. See Tables 18 and 19 for operating limits.
When the disconnect switch is closed, high voltage is
present in some areas of the electrical panel. Exercise
caution when working with the energized equipment.
Failure to heed this warning could lead to personal
injury.
1. Restore power to system.
2. Turn thermostat fan position to ON. Blower should
start.
3. Balance airflow at registers.
4. Adjust all valves to the full open position and turn on
the line power to all heat pump units.
5. Operate unit in the cooling cycle. Refer to Tables 18
and 19 for unit operating limits.
NOTE: Three factors determine the operating limits of a
unit: (1) entering-air temperature, (2) water temperature and
(3) ambient temperature. Whenever any of these factors are
at a minimum or maximum level, the other two factors must
be at a normal level to ensure proper unit operation. See
Tables 18 and 19.
Scroll Compressor Rotation — It is important 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 gages 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.
If the suction pressure does not drop and the discharge
pressure does not rise to normal levels:
1. Turn off power to the unit. Install disconnect tag.
2. Reverse any two of the unit power leads.
3. Reapply power to the unit and verify pressures are correct.
The suction and discharge pressure levels should now move
to their normal start-up levels.
When the compressor is rotating in the wrong direction, the
unit makes more noise and does not provide cooling.
After a few minutes of reverse operation, the scroll compressor internal overload protection will open, thus activating
the unit lockout. This requires a manual reset. To reset, turn the
thermostat on and then off.
NOTE: There is a 5-minute time delay before the compressor
will start.
Unit Start-Up Cooling Mode
1. Adjust the unit thermostat to the warmest position.
Slowly reduce the thermostat position until the compressor activates.
2. Check for cool air delivery at unit grille a few minutes
after the unit has begun to operate.
3. Verify that the compressor is on and that the water flow
rate is correct by measuring pressure drop through the
heat exchanger using P/T plugs. See Table 20. Check the
elevation and cleanliness of the condensate lines; any
dripping could be a sign of a blocked line. Be sure the
condensate trap includes a water seal.
4. Check the temperature of both supply and discharge water. Compare to Table 21. If temperature is within range,
proceed. If temperature is outside the range, check the
cooling refrigerant pressures in Table 21.
5. Check air temperature drop across the coil when compressor is operating. Air temperature drop should be
between 15 and 25 F.

Unit Start-Up Heating Mode
NOTE: Operate the unit in heating cycle after checking the
cooling cycle. Allow 5 minutes between tests for the pressure
or reversing valve to equalize.
1. Turn thermostat to lowest setting and set thermostat
switch to HEAT position.
2. Slowly turn the thermostat to a higher temperature until
the compressor activates.
3. Check for warm air delivery at the unit grille within a few
minutes after the unit has begun to operate.
4. Check the temperature of both supply and discharge water. Compare to Table 21. If temperature is within range,
proceed. If temperature is outside the range, check the
heating refrigerant pressures in Table 21.
5. Once the unit has begun to run, check for warm air delivery at the unit grille.
6. Check air temperature rise across the coil when compressor is operating. Air temperature rise should be between
20 and 30 F after 15 minutes at load.
7. Check for vibration, noise and water leaks.
Flow Regulation — Flow regulation can be accom-
plished by two methods. Most water control valves have a flow
adjustment built into the valve. By measuring the pressure drop
through the unit heat exchanger, the flow rate can be determined. See Tables 22-24. Adjust the water control valve until
the flow of 1.5 to 2 gpm is achieved. Since the pressure constantly varies, two pressure gages may be needed in some
applications.
An alternative method is to install a flow control device.
These devices are typically an orifice of plastic material designed to allow a specified flow rate that are mounted on the
outlet of the water control valve. Occasionally these valves
produce a velocity noise that can be reduced by applying some
back pressure. To accomplish this, slightly close the leaving
isolation valve of the well water setup.
To avoid possible injury or death due to electrical shock,
open the power supply disconnect switch and secure it in
an open position before flushing system.
Flushing — Once the piping is complete, units require final
purging and loop charging. A flush cart pump of at least 1.5 hp
is needed to achieve adequate flow velocity in the loop to purge
air and dirt particles from the loop. Flush the loop in both
Table 21 — Typical Unit Operating Pressures and Temperatures
directions with a high volume of water at a high velocity. Follow the steps below to properly flush the loop:
1. Verify power is off.
2. Fill loop with water from hose through flush cart before
using flush cart pump to ensure an even fill. Do not allow
the water level in the flush cart tank to drop below the
pump inlet line to prevent air from filling the line.
3. Maintain a fluid level in the tank above the return tee to
avoid air entering back into the fluid.
4. Shutting off the return valve that connects into the flush
cart reservoir will allow 50 psi surges to help purge air
pockets. This maintains the pump at 50 psi.
5. To purge, keep the pump at 50 psi until maximum pumping pressure is reached.
6. Open the return valve to send a pressure surge through
the loop to purge any air pockets in the piping system.
7. A noticeable drop in fluid level will be seen in the flush
cart tank. This is the only indication of air in the loop.
NOTE: If air is purged from the system while using a 10 in.
PVC flush tank, the level drop will only be 1 to 2 in. since
liquids are incompressible. If the level drops more than this,
flushing should continue since air is still being compressed in
the loop. If level is less than 1 to 2 in., reverse the flow.
8. Repeat this procedure until all air is purged.
9. Restore power.
Antifreeze may be added before, during or after the flushing
process. However, depending on when it is added in the
process, it can be wasted. Refer to the Antifreeze section for
more detail.
Loop static pressure will fluctuate with the seasons. Pressures will be higher in the winter months than during the
warmer months. This fluctuation is normal and should be considered when charging the system initially. Run the unit in
either heating or cooling for several minutes to condition the
loop to a homogenous temperature.
When complete, perform a final flush and pressurize the
loop to a static pressure of 40 to 50 psi for winter months or 15
to 20 psi for summer months.
After pressurization, be sure to remove the plug from the
end of the loop pump motor(s) to allow trapped air to be
discharged and to ensure the motor housing has been flooded.
Be sure the loop flow center provides adequate flow through
the unit by checking pressure drop across the heat exchanger.
Compare the results to the data in Tables 22-24.

Pressure Drop (psi)
Antifreeze — In areas where entering loop temperatures
drop below 40 F or where piping will be routed through areas
subject to freezing, antifreeze is needed.
Alcohols and glycols are commonly used as antifreeze
agents. Freeze protection should be maintained to 15 F below
the lowest expected entering loop temperature. For example, if
the lowest expected entering loop temperature is 30 F, the leaving loop temperature would be 22 to 25 F. Therefore, the freeze
protection should be at 15 F (30 F – 15 F = 15 F).
IMPORTANT: All alcohols should be pre-mixed and
pumped from a reservoir outside of the building or
introduced under water level to prevent fuming.
Calculate the total volume of fluid in the piping system. See
Table 25. Use the percentage by volume in Table 26 to determine the amount of antifreeze to use. Antifreeze concentration
should be checked from a well mixed sample using a hydrometer to measure specific gravity.
FREEZE PROTECTION SELECTION — The 30 F FP1
factory setting (water) should be used to avoid freeze damage

Cooling Tower/Boiler Systems — These systems typ-
ically use a common loop temperature maintained at 60 to 90 F.
Carrier recommends using a closed circuit evaporative cooling
tower with a secondary heat exchanger between the tower and
the water loop. If an open type cooling tower is used continuously, chemical treatment and filtering will be necessary.

terminal of the Deluxe D control board will bring the unit
on in fan only mode.
COOLING STAGE 1 — A simultaneous call from (G),
(Y1), and (O) to the (G), (Y1), (O/W2) terminals of the Deluxe
D control board will bring the unit on in 1st Stage Cooling.
COOLING STAGE 2 — A simultaneous call from (G),
(Y1), (Y2), and (O) to the (G), (Y1), (Y2), and (O/W2) terminals of the Deluxe D control board will bring the unit on
in Cooling Stage 2. When the call is satisfied at the thermostat the unit will continue to run in Cooling Stage 1 until the
Cooling Stage 1 call is removed or satisfied, shutting down
the unit.
NOTE: Not all units have two-stage cooling functionality.
HEATING STAGE 1 — A simultaneous call from (G) and
(Y1) to the (G) and (Y1) terminals of the Deluxe D control
board will bring the unit on in Heating Stage 1.
HEATING STAGE 2 — A simultaneous call from (G),

Stage 2. When the call is satisfied at the thermostat the unit
will continue to run in Heating Stage 1 until the call is
removed or satisfied, shutting down the unit.
NOTE: Not all units have two-stage heating functionality.
REHEAT MODE — A call from the humidistat/dehumid-
istat to the (H) terminal of the Deluxe D control board will
bring the unit on in Reheat Mode if there is no call for cooling at the thermostat. When the humidistat/dehumidistat call
is removed or satisfied the unit will shut down.
NOTE: Cooling always overrides Reheat Mode. In the Cooling mode, the unit cools and dehumidifies. If the cooling
thermostat is satisfied but there is still a call for dehumidification, the unit will continue to operate in Reheat Mode.
SYSTEM TEST
System testing provides the ability to check the control
operation. The control enters a 20-minute Test mode by momentarily shorting the test pins. All time delays are increased
15 times. See Fig. 19-22.
Test Mode — To enter Test mode on Complete C or Deluxe
D controls, cycle the power 3 times within 60 seconds. The LED
(light-emitting diode) will flash a code representing the last fault
when entering the Test mode. The alarm relay will also power on
and off during Test mode. See Tables 27 and 28. To exit Test
mode, short the terminals for 3 seconds or cycle the power 3
times within 60 seconds.
NOTE: Deluxe D Control has a flashing code and alarm relay
cycling code that will both have the same numerical label.
For example, flashing code 1 will have an alarm relay cycling
code 1. Code 1 indicates the control has not faulted since the
last power off to power on sequence.
Retry Mode — In Retry mode, the status LED will start to
flash slowly to signal that the control is trying to recover from
an input fault. The control will stage off the outputs and try to
again satisfy the thermostat used to terminal Y. Once the thermostat input calls are satisfied, the control will continue normal
operation.
NOTE: If 3 consecutive faults occur without satisfying the
thermostat input call to terminal Y, the control will go into
lockout mode. The last fault causing the lockout is stored in
memory and can be viewed by entering Test mode.

SERVICE
Perform the procedures outlined below periodically, as
indicated.
IMPORTANT: When a compressor is removed from this
unit, system refrigerant circuit oil will remain in the compressor. To avoid leakage of compressor oil, the refrigerant
lines of the compressor must be sealed after it is removed.
IMPORTANT: All refrigerant discharged from this unit
must be recovered without exception. Technicians must follow industry accepted guidelines and all local, state and federal statutes for the recovery and disposal of refrigerants.
IMPORTANT: To avoid the release of refrigerant into the
atmosphere, the refrigerant circuit of this unit must only be
serviced by technicians which meet local, state and federal
proficiency requirements.
IMPORTANT: To prevent injury or death due to electrical
shock or contact with moving parts, open unit disconnect
switch before servicing unit.
Filters — Filters must be clean for maximum performance.
Inspect filters every month under normal operating conditions.
replace when necessary.
IMPORTANT: Units should never be operated without a filter.
Water Coil — Keep all air out of the water coil. Check
open loop systems to be sure the well head is not allowing air
to infiltrate the water line. Always keep lines airtight.
Inspect heat exchangers regularly, and clean more frequently if the unit is located in a “dirty” environment. Keep the heat
exchanger full of water at all times. Open-loop systems should
have an inverted P trap placed in the discharge line to keep
water in the heat exchanger during off cycles. Closed-loop
systems must have a minimum of 15 psi during the summer
and 40 psi during the winter. Generally, the higher the water
flow through the bail, the lower the chance for sealing.
Check P trap frequently for proper operation.
IMPORTANT: To avoid fouled machinery and extensive
unit clean-up, DO NOT operate units without filters in
place. DO NOT use equipment as a temporary heat source
during construction.
Condensate Drain Pans — Check condensate drain
pans for algae growth twice a year. If algae growth is apparent,
consult a water treatment specialist for proper chemical treatment. Applying an algaecide every three months will typically
eliminate algae problems in most locations.
Refrigerant System — Verify air and water flow rates
are at proper levels before servicing. To maintain sealed circuitry integrity, do not install service gauges unless unit operation
appears abnormal.
Check to see that unit is within the superheat and subcooling temperature ranges shown in Table 21. If the unit is not
within these ranges, recover and reweigh in refrigerant charge.

Compressor — Conduct annual amperage checks to in-
sure that amp draw is no more than 10% greater than indicated
on the serial plate data.
Fan Motors — All units have lubricated fan motors. Fan
motors should never be lubricated unless obvious, dry operation is suspected. Periodic maintenance oiling is NOT recommended as it will result in dirt accumulating in the excess oil
and cause eventual motor failure. Conduct annual dry operation check and amperage check to ensure amp draw is no more
than 10% greater than indicated on serial plate data.
Condensate Drain Cleaning — Clean the drain line
and unit drain pan at the start of each cooling season. Check
flow by pouring water into drain. Be sure trap is filled to maintain an air seal.
Air Coil Cleaning — Remove dirt and debris from evap-
orator coil as required by condition of the coil. A 10% solution
of dishwasher detergent and water is recommended for
cleaning both sides of the coil, followed by a thorough water
rinse. Clean coil with a stiff brush, vacuum cleaner, or compressed air. Use a fin comb of the correct tooth spacing when
straightening mashed or bent coil fins.
Condenser Cleaning — Water-cooled condensers may
require cleaning of scale (water deposits) due to improperly
maintained closed-loop water systems. Sludge build-up may
need to be cleaned in an open water tower system due to
induced contaminants.
Local water conditions may cause excessive fouling or
pitting of tubes. Condenser tubes should therefore be cleaned at
least once a year, or more often if the water is contaminated.
Proper water treatment can minimize tube fouling and
pitting. If such conditions are anticipated, water treatment
analysis is recommended. Refer to the Carrier System Design
Manual, Part 5, for general water conditioning information.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and rubber
gloves when using inhibited hydrochloric acid solution.
Observe and follow acid manufacturer’s instructions.
Clean condensers with an inhibited hydrochloric acid
solution. The acid can stain hands and clothing, damage
concrete, and, without inhibitor, damage steel. Cover surroundings to guard against splashing. Vapors from vent pipe
are not harmful, but take care to prevent liquid from being
carried over by the gases.
Warm solution acts faster, but cold solution is just as effective if applied for a longer period.
GRAVITY FLOW METHOD — Do not add solution faster
than vent can exhaust the generated gases.
When condenser is full, allow solution to remain overnight,
then drain condenser and flush with clean water. Follow acid
manufacturer’s instructions. See Fig. 29.
FORCED CIRCULATION METHOD — Fully open vent
pipe when filling condenser. The vent may be closed when
condenser is full and pump is operating. See Fig. 30.
Regulate flow to condenser with a supply line valve. If
pump is a nonoverloading type, the valve may be fully closed
while pump is running.
For average scale deposit, allow solution to remain in condenser overnight. For heavy scale deposit, allow 24 hours.
Drain condenser and flush with clean water. Follow acid manufacturer’s instructions.

Checking System Charge — Units are shipped with
full operating charge. If recharging is necessary:
1. Insert thermometer bulb in insulating rubber sleeve on
liquid line near filter drier. Use a digital thermometer for
all temperature measurements. DO NOT use a mercury
or dial-type thermometer.
2. Connect pressure gage to discharge line near compressor.
3. After unit conditions have stabilized, read head pressure
on discharge line gage.
NOTE: Operate unit a minimum of 15 minutes before
checking charge.
4. From standard field-supplied Pressure-Temperature
chart for R-22, find equivalent saturated condensing
temperature.
5. Read liquid line temperature on thermometer; then
subtract from saturated condensing temperature. The difference equals subcooling temperature.
6. Compare the subcooling temperature with the normal
temperature listed in Table 21. If the measured liquid line
temperature does not agree with the required liquid line
temperature, ADD refrigerant to raise the temperature or
REMOVE refrigerant (using standard practices) to lower
the temperature (allow a tolerance of ± 3° F).
39
Refrigerant Charging
To prevent personal injury, wear safety glasses and gloves
when handling refrigerant. Do not overcharge system —
this can cause compressor flooding.
NOTE: Do not vent or depressurize unit refrigerant to
atmosphere. Remove and reclaim refrigerant following
accepted practices.
Air Coil Fan Motor Removal
Before attempting to remove fan motors or motor mounts,
place a piece of plywood over evaporator coils to prevent
coil damage.
Disconnect motor power wires from motor terminals before
motor is removed from unit.
1. Shut off unit main power supply.
2. Loosen bolts on mounting bracket so that fan belt can be
removed.
3. Loosen and remove the 2 motor mounting bracket bolts
on left side of bracket.
4. Slide motor/bracket assembly to extreme right and lift out
through space between fan scroll and side frame. Rest
motor on a high platform such as a step ladder. Do not
allow motor to hang by its power wires.
