Your Carrier rooftop unit (RTU) was designed by customers for customers. With no--strip screw collars, handled access
panels, and more we’ve made your unit easy to install, easy to maintain and easy to use.
Easy to install:
All WeatherMakert units are field--convertible to horizontal air flow; no special adapter curbs or kits are necessary.
Convertible airflow design makes it easy to adjust to unexpected job--site complications. Lighter units make easy
replacement. Carrier 3--12.5 ton 50TC rooftops fit on existing Carrier curbs dating back to 1989. Also, our large control
box gives you room to work and room to mount Carrier accessory controls.
Easy to maintain:
Easy access handles by Carrier provide quick and easy access to all normally serviced components. Our “no--strip” screw
system has superior holding power and guides screws into position while preventing the screw from stripping the unit’s
metal. Take accurate pressure readings by reading condenser pressure with panels on. Simply remove the black, composite
plug, route your gauge line(s) t hrough the hole, and connect them to the refrigeration service valve(s). Now, you can take
refrigeration system pressure readings without affecting the condenser airflow.
Easy to use:
The newly designed, master terminal board by Carrier puts all your connections and troubleshooting points in one
convenient place, standard. Most low voltage connections are made to the same board and make it easy t o find what you’re
looking for and easy to access it. Carrier rooftops have high and low pressure switches, a filter drier, and 2” (51mm) filters
standard.

FACTORY OPTIONS AND/OR ACCESSORIES
Economizer (dry--bulb or enthalpy)
Economizers save money. They bring in fresh, outside air
for ventilation; and provide cool, outside air to cool your
building. This is the preferred method of low--ambient
cooling. W h en coupled to CO
provide even more savings by coupling the ventilation air
to only that amount required.
Economizers are available, installed and tested by the
factory, with either enthalpy or dry--bulb temperature
inputs. There are also models for electromechanical as
well as direct digital controllers. Additional sensors are
available as accessories to optimize the economizers.
Economizers include gravity controlled, barometric relief

PremierLinkt
This CCN controller regulates your rooftop’s performance
to tighter tolerances and expanded limits, as well as
facilitates zoning systems and digital accessories. It also
unites your Carrier HVAC equipment together on one,
coherentCCN network.The PremierLinkcan be
factory--installed, or easily field-- installed.
RTU--MP, Multi --protocol Controller
Connect the rooftop to an existing BAS without needing
complicated translators or adapter modules using the
RTU--MP controller. This new controller speaks the 4
most common building automation system languages
(Bacnet, Modbus, N2, and Lonworks). Use this controller
when you have an existing BAS.
Time Guard II Control Circuit
This accessory protects your compressor by preventing
short--cycling in the event of some other failure, prevents
the compressor from restarting for 30 seconds after
stopping. Not required with PremierLinkr,RTU--MP,or
authorized commercial thermostats.
Filter or Fan Status Switches
Smoke Detectors
Trust the experts. Smoke detect ors make your application
safer a nd your job easier. Carrier smoke detectors
immediately shut down the rooftop unit when smoke is
detected. They are available, installed by the factory, for
supply air, return air, or both.
Louvered Hail Guards
Sleek, louvered panels protect the condenser coil from
hail damage, foreign objects, and incidental contact.
Convenience Outlet (powered or un--powered)
Reduce service and/or installation costs by including a
convenience outlet in your specification. Carrier will
install this service feature at our factory. Provides a
convenient, 15 amp, 115v GFCI receptacle with “Wet in
Use” cover. The “powered” option allows the installer to
power the outlet from the line side of the disconnect or
load side as required by code. The “unpowered” option is
to be powered from a separate 115/120v power source.
Non--fused Disconnect
This OSHA--compliant, factory--installed, safety switch
allows a service technician to locally secure power to the
rooftop.
Use these differential pressure switches to detect a filter
clog or indoor fan motor failure. When used in
conjunction with a compatible unit controller/thermostat,
the switches will activate an alarm to warn the appropriate
personnel.
Motorized 2--Position Damper
The new Carrier 2--position, motorized outdoor air damper
admits up to 100% outside air. Using reliable, gear--driven
technology, the 2--position damper opens to allow
ventilation air and closes when the rooftop stops, stopping
unwanted infiltration.
Manual OA Damper
Manual outdoor air dampers are an economical way to
bring in ventilation air. The dampers are available in 25%
and 50% versions.
Optional Humidi--MiZert Adaptive
Dehumidification System
Carrier’sHumidi--MiZeradaptivedehumidification
system is an all-- inclusive factory--installed option that can
be ordered with any WeatherMaker 50TC--04--07 rooftop
unit.
This system expands the envelope of operation of
Carrier’s WeatherMaker rooftop products to provide
6
unprecedented flexibility to meet year --round comfort
conditions.
The Humidi--MiZer adaptive dehumidification system has
the industry’s only dual dehumidification mode setting.
The Humidi--MiZer system includes two new modes of
operation.
The WeatherMaker 50TC--04--07 ooftop coupled with the
Humidi--MiZer system is capable of operating in normal
design cooling mode, subcooling mode, and hot gas reheat
mode. Normal design cooling mode is when the unit will
operate under its normal sequence of ope ration by cycling
compressors to maintain comfort conditions.
Subcooling mode will operate to satisfy part load type
conditions when the space requires combined sensible and
a higher proportion of latent load control. Hot Gas Reheat
mode will operate when outdoor temperatures diminish
and the need for latent capacity is required for sole
humidity control. Hot Gas Reheat mode will provide
neutral air for maximum dehumidification operation.
Motormaster Head Pressure Controller
The Motormaster motor controller is a low ambient, head
pressure controller kit that is designed to m aintain the
unit’s condenser head pressure during periods of low
ambient cooling operation. This device should be used as
an alternative to economizer free cooling not when
economizer usage is either not appropriate or desired. The
Motormaster will either cycle the outdoor--fan motors or
operate them at reduced speed to maintain the unit
operation, depending on the model.
Winter Start Kit
The winter start kit by Carrier extends the low ambient
limit of your rooftop to 25_F(--4_C). The kit bypasses the
low pressure switch, preventing nuisance tri pping of the
low pressure switch. Other low ambient precautions may
still be prudent.
Alternate Motors and Drives
Some applications need larger horsepower motors, some
need more airflow, and some need both. Regardless of the
case, yourCarrier experthas a factory installed
combination to meet your application. A wide selection of
motors and pulleys (drives) are available ,factory
installed, to handle nearly any application.
Thru--the--Base Connections
Thru--the--baseconnections,availableaseitheran
accessory or as a factory option, are necessary to ensure
proper connection and seal when routing wire and piping
through the rooftop’s basepan and curb. These couplings
eliminate roof penetration and should be considered for
gas lines, main power lines, as well as control power.
Electric Heaters
Carrier offers a full--line of field-- installed accessory
heaters. The heaters are very easy to use, install and are
all pre--engineered and certified.

APPLICATION DATA
Min operating ambient temp (cooling):
In mechanical cooling mode, your Carrier rooftop can
safely operate down to an outdoor ambient temperature of
40_F(4_C) and 25_F(--4_C), with an accessory winter
start kit. It is possible to provide cooling at lower outdoor
ambienttemperaturesbyusinglessoutsideair,
economizers, and/or accessory low ambient kits.
Max operating ambient temp (cooling):
The maximum operating ambient temperature for cooling
mode is 115_F(46_C). While cooling operation above
115_F(46_C) may be possible, it could cause either a
reduction in performance, reliability, or a protective action
by the unit’s internal safety devices.
Min and max airflow (cooling mode):
To maintain safe and reliable operation of your rooftop,
operate within the cooling airflow limits. Operating above
the max may cause blow--off, undesired airflow noise, or
airflow related problems with the rooftop unit. Operating
below the min may cause problems with coil freeze--up.
Airflow:
All units are draw--though in cooling mode.
Outdoor air application strategies:
Economizers reduce operating expenses and compressor
run time by providing a free source of cooling and a
means of ventilation to match application changing needs.
In fact, they should be considered for most applications.
Also, consider the various economizer control methods
and their benefits, as well as sensors required to
accomplish your application goals. Please contact your
local Carrier representative for assistance.
Motor limits, break horsepower (BHP):
Sizing a rooftop
Bigger isn’t necessarily better. While an air conditioner
needs to have enough capacity to meet the load, it doesn’t
need excess capacity. In fact, having excess capacity
typically results in very poor part load performance and
humidity control.
UsinghigherdesigntemperaturesthanASHRAE
recommends for your locati on, adding “safety factors” to
the calculated load, and rounding up to the next largest
unit, are all signs of oversizing air conditioners.
Oversizing can cause short--cycling, and short cycling
leads to poor humidity control, reduced efficiency, higher
utility bills, drastic indoor temperature swings, excessive
noise, and increased wear and tear on the air conditioner.
Rather than oversizing an air conditioner, wise contractors
and engineers “right--size” or even slight ly undersize air
conditioners. Correctly sizing an air conditioner controls
humidity better; promotes efficiency; reduces utility bills;
extends equipment life, and maintains even, comfortable
temperatures.
Low ambient applications
When equipped with a Carrie r economizer, your rooftop
unit can cool your space by bringing in fresh, cool outside
air. In fact, when so equipped, accessory low--ambient kit
may not be necessary. In low ambient conditions, unless
the outdoor air is excessively humid or contaminated,
economizer--based “free cooling” is the preferred less
costly and energy conscious method.
In low ambient applications where outside air might not
be desired (such as contaminated or excessively humid
outdoor environments), your Carrier rooftop can operate
to ambient temperatures down to --20_F(--29_C) using t he
recommendedaccessoryMotormasterlowambient
controller.
50TC
Due to Carrier’s internal unit design, air path, and
specially designed motors, the full horsepower (maximum
continuous BHP) band, as listed in Table 5, can be used
with the utmost confidence. There is no need for extra
safety factors, as Carrier’s motors are designed and
rigorously tested to use the entire, listed BHP range
without either nuisance tripping or premature motor
failure.
Winter start
Carrier’s winter start kit extends the low ambient limit of
your rooftop to 25_F(--4_C). The kit bypasses the low
pressure switch, preventing nuisance tripping of the low
pressure switch. Other low ambient precautions may still
be prudent.
