Supply Fan Assembly
The supply fan system consists of two forward−curved
centrifugal blower wheels mounted on a solid blower shaft
that is supported by two greasable pillow block concentric
bearings. A fixed−pitch driven fan pulley is attached to
the fan shaft and an adjustable−pitch driver pulley is
mounted on the motor. The pulleys are connected using a
V−belt. (See Fig. 4.)
Vertical Supply Models
The two fan wheels used on the vertical supply models are
the same: 15″ diameter x 15″ width. This arrangement
provides uniform airflow distribution across the width of
the evaporator coil, electric heater, and into the supply
duct.
Horizontal Supply Models
The horizontal supply models have two different fan
wheel sizes on a single shaft. The front side wheel is 18″
diameter x 15″ wide, while the rear side fan is 15″
diameter x 11″ wide. This arrangement promotes uniform
airflow across the width of the evaporator coil and heater
assembly while using a supply outlet on the rear side of
the unit.
NOTE: This major difference in the fan system design
makes it impossible to field−convert the 50TC unit’s
supply fan outlet configuration.

2. Loosen (turn counterclockwise) the motor mounting
plate front bolts and rear bolts. See Fig. 4.
!
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this CAUTION can result in
premature wear and damage to equipment.
Do not use a screwdriver or pry−bar to place the new
V−belt in the pulley groove. This can cause stress on
the V−belt and the pulley, resulting in premature wear
on the V−belt and damage to the pulley.
3. Loosen (turn counterclockwise) the jack bolt lock
nuts. Loosen (turn counterclockwise) the jack bolts,
relieving the belt tension and allowing easy removal
of the belt by hand.
4. Remove the belt by gently lifting the old belt over
one of the pulleys.
5. Install the new belt by gently sliding the belt over
both pulleys, then tighten (turn clockwise) the jack
bolts, sliding the motor plate away from the fan housing until proper belt tension is achieved.
6. Check the alignment of the pulleys, adjust if necessary. See Fig. 6.
7. Tighten all bolts attaching the motor to the motor
plate.
8. Tighten all jack bolt jam nuts by turning clockwise.
9. Check the tension after a few hours of runtime and
re−adjust as required. See Fig. 5.
Adjustable−Pitch Pulley on Motor
The motor pulley is an adjustable−pitch type that allows a
servicer to implement changes in the fan wheel speed to
match as−installed ductwork systems. The pulley consists
of a fixed flange side that faces the motor (secured to the
motor shaft) and a movable flange side that can be rotated
around the fixed flange side that increases or reduces the
pitch diameter of this driver pulley. (See Fig. 6.)
As the pitch diameter is changed by adjusting the position
of the movable flange, the centerline on this pulley shifts
laterally, along the motor shaft. This creates a requirement
for a realignment of the pulleys after any adjustment of
the movable flange. Also reset the belt tension after each
realignment. The factory settings of the adjustable pulley
is five turns open from full closed.
Check the condition of the motor pulley for signs of wear.
Glazing of the belt contact surfaces and erosion on these
5
surfaces are signs of improper belt tension and/or belt
slippage. Pulley replacement may be necessary.
Changing Fan Speed
1. Shut off the main unit power supply, and use the approved Lockout/Tagout procedures.
2. Loosen the belt by loosening the motor adjustment
bolts as described in the Belt Adjustment section
above.
3. Loosen the movable pulley flange setscrew. (See Fig.
6.)
4. Screw the movable flange toward fixed flange to increase speed and away from fixed flange to decrease
speed. Increasing fan speed increases load on the motor. Do not exceed maximum speed specified in the
Product Data or motor amperage listed on the unit rating plate..
5. Set the movable flange at the nearest keyway or flat
of the pulley hub and tighten the setscrew to torque of
72 ± 5 in−lbs (8.14 ± 0.56 Nm).
Aligning the Fan and Motor Pulleys
1. Loosen the fan pulley setscrews.
2. Slide the fan pulley along the fan shaft. Make angular
alignment by loosening the motor from its mounting.
See Fig. 7.
3. Tighten the fan pulley setscrews and motor mounting
bolts to torque specifications.
4. Recheck the belt tension. See Fig. 6.

ASHRAE 90.1 2010 Standard Section 6.4.3.10.b, during
the first stage of cooling operation the SAV system will
adjust the fan motor to provide two- thirds (2/3) of the
design airflow rate for the unit. When the call for the
second stage of cooling is required, the SAV system will
allow the design airflow rate for the unit established
(100%). During the heating mode, the SAV system will
allow total design airflow rate (100%) operation. During
ventilation mode, the SAV system will operate the fan
motor at 2/3 speed.

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this CAUTION can result in equipment
damage.
Drive packages cannot be changed in the field. For
example: a standard drive cannot be changed to a high
static drive. This type of change will alter the unit’s
certification and could require heavier wiring to support
the higher amperage draw of the drive package.
To reduce vibration, replace the motor’s adjustable pitch
pulley with a fixed pitch pulley (after the final airflow
balance adjustment). This will reduce the amount of
vibration generated by the motor/belt-drive system.
To determine variable pitch pulley diameter, perform the
following calculation:
1. Determine full open and full closed pulley diameter.
2. Subtract the full open diameter from the full closed
diameter.
3. Divide that number by the number of pulley turns
open from full closed
This number is the change in pitch datum per turn
open.
EXAMPLE:
– Pulley dimensions 2.9 to 3.9 (full close to full open)
– 3.9 - 2.9 = 1
– 1 divided by 5 (turns from full close to full open)
– 0.2 change in pulley diameter per turn open
– 2.9 + 0.2 = 3.1″ pulley diameter when pulley closed
one turn from full open
CONDENSER COIL SERVICE
C12093
Fig. 11 − Adjusting V−belt Tension
Changing Fan Wheel Speed by Changing Pulleys
The horsepower rating of the belt is primarily dictated by
the pitch diameter of the smaller pulley in the drive
system (typically the motor pulley in these units). Do not
install a replacement motor pulley with a smaller pitch
diameter than provided on the original factory pulley.
Change fan wheel speed by changing the fixed fan pulley
(larger pitch diameter to reduce wheel speed, smaller
pitch diameter to increase wheel speed) or select a new
system with both pulleys and matching belt(s).
Before changing pulleys to increase fan wheel speed,
check the fan performance at the target speed and airflow
rate to determine new motor loading (bhp). Use the fan
performance tables or use the Packaged Rooftop Builder
software program. Confirm that the motor in this unit is
capable of operating at the new operating condition. Fan
shaft loading increases dramatically as wheel speed is
increased.
ROUND TUBE PLATE FIN (RTPF)
CONDENSER COIL
The condenser coil is fabricated with round tube copper
hairpins and plate fins of various materials and/or coatings
(see the Model Number Nomenclature in Appendix 1 to
identify the materials provided in this unit). The coil may
be one−row or composite−type two−row. Composite
two−row coils are two single−row coils fabricated with a
single return bend end tubesheet.
Recommended Condenser Coil Maintenance
and Cleaning
Routine cleaning of coil surfaces is essential to maintain
proper operation of the unit. Elimination of contamination
and removal of harmful residues will greatly increase the
life of the coil and extend the life of the unit. The
following maintenance and cleaning procedures are
recommended as part of the routine maintenance activities
to extend the life of the coil.
8
Remove Surface Loaded Fibers
Two −Row Coils
Surface loaded fibers or dirt should be removed with a
vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a
soft non−metallic bristle brush may be used. In either
case, the tool should be applied in the direction of the fins.
Coil surfaces can be easily damaged (fin edges can be
easily bent over and damage to the coating of a protected
coil) if the tool is applied across the fins.
NOTE: Use of a water stream, such as a garden hose,
against a surface loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt
into the coil. This will make cleaning efforts more
difficult. Surface loaded fibers must be completely
removed prior to using low−velocity clean water rinse.
Periodic Clean Water Rinse
A periodic clean water rinse is very beneficial for coils
that are applied in coastal or industrial environments.
However, it is very important that the water rinse is made
with a very low−velocity water stream to avoid damaging
the fin edges. Monthly cleaning as described below is
recommended.
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this CAUTION can result in reduced
unit performance or unit shutdown.
Use only the recommended approved cleaning
procedures for proper system performance.
Clean coil as follows:
1. Turn off unit power and tag the disconnect.
2. Remove the top panel screws on the condenser end of
the unit.
3. Remove the condenser coil corner post. See Fig. 12.
4. Lift and hold the top cover open.
5. Hold the top pan open by placing the coil corner post
between the top panel and center post. See Fig. 13.
C08205
Fig. 12 − Cleaning Condenser Coil
Routine Cleaning of Coil Surfaces
Periodic cleaning with Totaline environmentally sound
coil cleaner is essential to extend the life of coils. This
cleaner is available from Carrier Replacement
Components Division as p/n: P902- 0301 for one-gallon
(3.8L) container, and P902- 0305 for a 5-gallon (18.9L)
container. It is recommended that all coils, including
standard aluminum, pre−coated, copper/copper or
E−coated coils be cleaned with the Totaline
environmentally sound coil cleaner as described below.
Coil cleaning should be part of the unit’s regularly
scheduled maintenance procedures to ensure long life of
the coil. Failure to clean the coils may result in reduced
durability in the environment.
Avoid use of:
coil brighteners
acid cleaning prior to painting
high pressure washers
poor quality water for cleaning
Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner is a nonflammable, hypo allergenic, non bacterial, USDA accepted biodegradable agent that will not harm the coil or surrounding components such as electrical wiring, painted
metal surfaces, or insulation. Use of non−recommended
coil cleaners is strongly discouraged since coil and unit
durability could be affected.
C08206
Fig. 13 − Propping Up Top Panel
6. Remove the screws securing the coil to the compressor plate and compressor access panel.
7. Remove the fasteners holding the coil sections together at the return end of the condenser coil. Carefully
separate the outer coil section 3 to 4 in. from the inner coil section. See Fig. 14.
C08207
Fig. 14 − Separating Coil Sections

8. Clean the outer surfaces with a stiff brush in the normal manner. Use a water hose or other suitable equipment to flush down between the 2 coil sections to remove dirt and debris.
9. Secure the inner and outer coil rows together with a
field−supplied fastener.
10. Reposition the outer coil section and remove the coil
corner post from between the top panel and center
post. Reinstall the coil corner post and access panel.
11. Replace all screws.
EVAPORATOR COILS
The evaporator coil uses the traditional round-tube,
plate-fin (RTPF) technology. Tube and fin construction
consists of various optional materials and coatings (see
APPENDIX I. MODEL NUMBER NOMENCLATURE).
Coils are multiple-row. On two-compressor units, the
evaporator coil is a face split design, meaning the two
refrigerant circuits are independent in the coil. The bottom
portion of the coil will always be circuit A, with the top of

Coil Maintenance and Cleaning Recommendation
Routine cleaning of coil surfaces is essential to maintain
proper operation of the unit. Elimination of contamination
and removal of harmful residues will greatly increase the
life of the coil and extend the life of the unit. The
following maintenance and cleaning procedures are
recommended as part of the routine maintenance activities
to extend the life of the coil.
Removing Surface Loaded Fibers
Surface loaded fibers or dirt should be removed with a
vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a
soft non- metallic bristle brush can be used. In either case,
the tool should be applied in the direction of the fins. Coil
surfaces can be easily damaged. Applying the tool across
the fin edges can cause the edges to be easily bent over,
damaging the coating of a protected coil.
NOTE: Use of a water stream, such as a garden hose,
against a surface-loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt
into the coil. This will make cleaning efforts more
difficult. Surface-loaded fibers must be completely
removed prior to using a low-velocity clean water rinse. A
vacuum cleaner or a soft- bristled brush should be used to
remove surface-loaded fibers and dirt.
and p/n: P902- 0305 for a 5-gallon (18.9L) container). It is
recommended that all round tube coils be cleaned as
described below. Coil cleaning should be part of the unit’s
regularly scheduled maintenance procedures to ensure a
long life for the coil. Failure to clean the coils can result
in reduced durability in the environment. When cleaning
the coils, avoid use of the following:
coil brighteners
acid cleaning prior to painting
high pressure washers
poor quality water for cleaning
Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner is a nonflammable, hypo allergenic, non bacterial, USDA accepted biodegradable agent that will not harm the coil or surrounding components such as electrical wiring, painted
metal surfaces, or insulation. Use of non−recommended
coil cleaners is strongly discouraged since coil and unit
durability could be affected.
Failure to follow this WARNING can result in severe
personal injury and reduced unit performance.
High−velocity water from a pressure washer, garden
hose, or compressed air should never be used to clean
a coil. The force of the water or air jet will bend the
fin edges and increase airside pressure drop.
High−velocity water from a pressure washer can
cause severe injury upon contact with exposed body
tissue. Always direct the water stream away from the
body.
1. Proper protection such as safety glasses, gloves and
protective clothing are recommended during mixing
and application.
Periodic Clean Water Rinse
A periodic clean-water rinse is very beneficial for coils
that are used in coastal or industrial environments.
However, it is very important that the water rinse is made
with a very low-velocity water stream to avoid damage to
the fin edges. Monthly cleaning, as described below, is
recommended.
Routine Cleaning of Evaporator Coil Surfaces
Monthly cleaning with Totaline environmentally sound
coil cleaner is essential to extend the life of the coils. This
cleaner is available from Carrier Replacement Parts
Division (p/n: P902- 0301 for one-gallon (3.8L) container,
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Failure to follow this CAUTION can result in
corrosion and damage to the unit.
Harsh chemicals, household bleach or acid or basic
cleaners should not be used to clean outdoor or indoor
coils of any kind. These cleaners can be very difficult
to rinse out of the coil and can accelerate corrosion at
the fin/tube interface where dissimilar materials are in
contact. If there is dirt below the surface of the coil,
use the Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner.
10
2. Remove all surface loaded fibers and dirt with a vacuum cleaner as described above.
3. Thoroughly wet finned surfaces with clean water and
a low velocity garden hose, being careful not to bend
fins.
4. Mix Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner in
a 2−1/2 gallon (9.6 L) garden sprayer according to the
instructions included with the cleaner. The optimum
solution temperature is 100F (38C).
NOTE: Do NOT USE water in excess of 130F (54C),
as the enzymatic activity will be destroyed.
5. Thoroughly apply Totaline environmentally sound
coil cleaner solution to all coil surfaces, including
finned area, tube sheets and coil headers.
6. Hold the garden sprayer nozzle close to finned areas
and apply cleaner with a vertical, up−and−down motion.
7. Avoid spraying in a horizontal pattern to minimize
potential for fin damage.
8. Make sure the cleaner thoroughly penetrates deep into
the finned areas.
9. Interior and exterior finned areas must be thoroughly
cleaned.
10. Finned surfaces should remain wet with cleaning solution for 10 minutes.
11. Make sure surfaces are not allowed to dry before rinsing. Reapply cleaner as needed to ensure 10−minute
saturation is achieved.
12. Thoroughly rinse all surfaces with low−velocity clean
water using a downward rinsing motion of the spray
nozzle. Protect fins from damage from the spray nozzle.
Evaporator Coil Metering Devices
The metering devices are multiple fixed−bore devices
(Acutrol) swedged into the horizontal outlet tubes from
the liquid header, located at the entrance to each
evaporator coil circuit path. These are non−adjustable.
Service requires replacing the entire liquid header
assembly.
To check for possible blockage of one or more of these
metering devices, disconnect the supply fan contactor
(IFC) coil, then start the compressor and observe the
frosting pattern on the face of the evaporator coil. A frost
pattern should develop uniformly across the face of the
coil starting at each horizontal header tube. Failure to
develop frost at an outlet tube can indicate a plugged or a
missing orifice.
Refrigerant System Pressure Access Ports
There are two access ports in the system − on the suction
tube near the compressor and on the discharge tube near
the compressor. These are brass fittings with black plastic
caps. The hose connection fittings are standard 1/4 SAE
male flare couplings.
The brass fittings are two−piece High Flow valves, with a
receptacle base brazed to the tubing and an integral
spring−closed check valve core screwed into the base (See
Fig. 15). This schrader valve is permanently assembled
into this core body and cannot be serviced separately;
replace the entire core body if necessary. Service tools are
available from RCD (p/n P920−0010) that allow the
replacement of the schrader valve core without having to
recover the entire system refrigerant charge. Apply
compressor refrigerant oil to the schrader valve core’s
bottom o−ring. Install the fitting body with 96 ± 10 in−lbs
(10.85 ± 1.13 Nm) of torque; do not overtighten.
NOTE: The High−Flow valve has a black plastic cap
with a rubber o−ring located inside the cap. This rubber
o−ring must be in place in the cap to prevent refrigerant
leaks.

HIMIDI−MIZERR ADAPTIVE
DEHUMIDIFICATION SYSTEM
Units with the factory−equipped Humidi−MiZer option
are capable of providing multiple modes of improved
dehumidification as a variation of the normal cooling
cycle. See Fig 16. The design of the Humidi−MiZer
system allows for two humidity control modes of
operation of the rooftop unit, utilizing a common
subcooling/reheat dehumidification coil located
downstream of the standard evaporator coil. This allows
the rooftop unit to operate in both a dehumidification
(Subcooling) mode and a hot gas (Reheat) mode for
maximum system flexibility. The Humidi−MiZer
package is factory−installed and will operate whenever
there is a dehumidification requirement present.
The Humidi−MiZer system is initiated based on an
input from a discrete input from a mechanical space or
return air humidistat.
Humidi−MiZerR Modes
Normal Cooling for Units A17 − A30
During the Normal Cooling mode, the liquid refrigerant
flows from the outdoor condenser through the normally
open (NO) Cooling System Valve (CSV) to the expansion
device. Both the Reheat1 (RH1.x) and Reheat2 (RH2)
valves are closed during the normal cooling mode.
During the Normal Cooling mode, the refrigerant flows
from the outdoor compressor through the condenser coil.
The Reheat2 (RH2.x) is closed, preventing the refrigerant
from bypassing the condenser coil. The refrigerant then
flows through the open Reheat2 (RH1.x) 3−way valve to
the TXV Metering Device, bypassing the Humidi−
MiZer coil, and finally passing through the evaporator
coil before returning to the outdoor compressor. See Fig
16.
Reheat1 (Subcooling Mode) for Units A17 − A30
Th Reheat1 or Subcooling mode will be engaged to
satisfy part−load−type conditions when there is a space
call for cooling and dehumidification. Although the
temperature could have dropped and decreased the
sensible load in the space, the outdoor and/or space
humidity levels could have risen. A typical scenario could
be when the outside air is 85F (29C) with 70% to 80%
relative humidity (RH). Desired Sensible Heat Ratio
(SHR) for equipment in this scenario is typically from 0.4
to 0.7. The Humidi−MiZer unit will initiate the
Dehumidification mode when both the space temperature
and humidity are above the temperature and humidity
setpoints while attempting to meet both setpoint
requirements.
Once the humidity requirement is met, the unit can
continue to operate in normal cooling mode to meet any
remaining sensible capacity load. Alternatively, if the
sensible load is met and humidity levels remain high the
unit can switch to Hot Gas Reheat mode or Reheat2 mode
to provide neutral, dehumidified air.
During the Reheat1 or Subcooling mode, the liquid
refrigerant flows from the outdoor compressor through the
condenser coil to the Reheat1 (RH1.x) 3−way valve and
on to the Humid−Mizer coil. The Reheat2 (RH2.x)
valve is closed. The liquid refrigerant then passes through
the Humid−Mizer coil and then a metering device or
Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV). From the TXV, the
liquid refrigerant passes through the evaporator coil and
back to the outdoor comprssor. See Fig 17.
Reheat2 (Hot Gas Reheat Mode) for A17 − A30
This Reheat2 or Hot Gas Reheat mode is used when dehumidification is required without a need for cooling, such
as when the outside air is at a neutral temperature, but
high humidity exists. This situation requires the equipment to operate at a low SHR of 0.0 to 0.2. With no cooling requirement calling for dehumidification, the Humidi−
MiZer adaptive dehumidification system will energize
both compressors, opening the two hot gas bypass valves,
allowing refrigerant flow to the Humidi−MiZer coil to
reheat the unit’s supply air to a neutral temperature.
The hot bypassed refrigerant liquid (gas or two−phase
mixture) exits the outdoor compressor and passes through
the open Reheat1 (RH1.x) at the same time it passes
through the condenser coil to the open Reheat2 (Rh2.x) to
the Humidi−MiZer coil. After the refrigerant passes
through the Humidi−MiZer coil, it enters a TXV
metering device, decreasing the air pressure, and on to the
evaporator coil. The refrigerant is subcooled in this coil to
a temperature approaching the evaporator leaving air
temperature. The liquid refrigerant then returns to the
outdoor compressor. See Fig. 18.
The refrigerant enters the TXV and evaporator coil at a
temperature lower than the temperature in the standard
cooling operation. This lower temperature increases the
latent capacity of the evaporator. The refrigerant passes
through the evaporator turning it into a superheated vapor.
The air passing over the evaporator coil becomes colder
than it would during normal operation. As this same air
passes over the Humidi−MiZer Reheat Coil, it will be
warmed to the neutral supply air temperature.
Humidi−MiZerR System Components
The Humidi−MiZer System uses the standard unit
compressor(s), evaporator coil and Round Tube−Plate Fin
(RTPF) condenser coil. Additional refrigeration system
hardware includes a subcooler/reheat coil and control
solenoid valves. On some models, the evaporator coil
includes a TXV as a standard feature. Units with
Humidi−MiZer FIOP also include a factory−installed
head pressure control system (Motormaster I) to provide
proper liquid pressure during reheat modes. Unique
system controls include a reheat relay mode, and
evaporator coil freezestat, and secondary low pressure
switch.
Operating Sequences
The Humidi−−MiZer system provides three sub−modes
of operation: Normal Cooling, Reheat1 and Reheat2.
12
The Reheat1 and Reheat2 modes are available when the
unit is not in a heating mode and when the Low Ambient
Lockout Switch is closed.
When there is both cooling demand (thermostat Y1
demand) and dehumidification demand, circuit 1 will
operate in Subcooling (Reheat1) mode. See Fig. 17
Schematic for system refrigerant flow.
When there is only a single cooling demand, one or both
circuits will operate in Hot Gas (Reheat2) mode. The DSV

THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION
VALVE (TXV)
All two−stage 50TC units with Humidi−Mizer have a
factory installed nonadjustable thermostatic expansion
valve (TXV). The TXV will be a bi-flow, bleed port
expansion valve with an external equalizer. TXVs are
specifically designed to operate with Puron or R-22
refrigerant, use only factory authorized TXVs. See Fig.
20.
TXV Operation
The TXV is a metering device that is used in air
conditioning and heat pump systems to adjust to changing
load conditions by maintaining a preset superheat
temperature at the outlet of the evaporator coil.
The volume of refrigerant metered through the valve seat
is dependent upon the following:
1. Superheat temperature is sensed by the cap tube sensing bulb on suction the tube at the outlet of evaporator coil. This temperature is converted into pressure
by refrigerant in the bulb pushing downward on the
diaphragm which opens the valve using the push rods.
2. The suction pressure at the outlet of the evaporator
coil is transferred through the external equalizer tube
to the underside of the diaphragm.
3. The needle valve on the pin carrier is spring loaded,
exerting pressure on the underside of the diaphragm.
Therefore, the bulb pressure equals the evaporator
pressure (at the outlet of the coil) plus the spring pressure. If the evaporator load increases, the temperature
increases at the bulb, which increases the pressure on
the topside of the diaphragm, pushing the carrier
away from the seat, opening the valve and increasing
the flow of refrigerant. The increased refrigerant flow
causes increased leaving evaporator pressure which
is transferred through the equalizer tube to the underside of the diaphragm. This causes the pin carrier
spring pressure to close the TXV valve. The refrigerant flow is effectively stabilized to the load demand
with a negligible change in superheat.
Replacing TXV
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this CAUTION can result in injury
to personnel and damage to components.
Always wear approved safety glasses, work gloves,
and other recommended Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) when working with refrigerants.
1. Disconnect all AC power to the unit. Use approved
lockout/tagout procedures.
2. Using the gauge set approved for use with Puron (R−
410A) refrigerant, recover all refrigerant from the
system.
3. Remove the TXV support clamp.
4. Disconnect the liquid line at the TXV inlet.
5. Remove the liquid line connection at the TXV inlet.
6. Remove the equalizer tube from the suction line of
the coil. Use a tubing cutter to cut the brazed equalizer line approximately 2 inches (50 mm) above the
suction tube.
7. Remove the bulb from the vapor tube above the evaporator coil header outlet.
8. Install the new TXV; avoid damage to the tubing or
the valve when attaching the TXV to the distributor.
Protect the TXV against over−temperature conditions
by using wet rags and directing the torch flame tip
away from the TXV body. Connect the liquid line to
the TXV inlet by repeating the above process.
9. Attach the equalizer tube to the suction line. If the
replacement TXV has a flare nut on its equalizer line,
use a tubing cutter to remove the mechanical flare nut
from the equalizer. Then use a coupling to braze the
equalizer line to the stub (previous equalizer line) in
the suction line.
10. Attach the TXV bulb in the same location as the original (in the sensing bulb indent), wrap the bulb in protective insulation and secure using the supplied bulb
clamp. See Figs. 19 and 21.

Refrigerant System Pressure Access Ports
There are two access ports in the system: on the suction
tube near the compressor, and on the discharge tube near
the compressor. These are brass fittings with black plastic
caps. The hose connection fittings are standard 1/4 SAE
male flare couplings. See Fig. 15.
The brass fittings are two-piece High Flow valves, with a
receptacle base brazed to the tubing and an integral
spring-closed check valve core screwed into the base. This
check valve is permanently assembled into this core body
17
and cannot be serviced separately; replace the entire core
body if necessary. Service tools are available from RCD
that allow the replacement of the check valve core without
having to recover the entire system refrigerant charge.

This unit is designed for use with Puron (R−410A)
refrigerant. Do not use any other refrigerant in this
system.
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this CAUTION can result in damage to
components.
The compressor is in a Puron (R−410A) refrigerant
system and uses a polyester (POE) oil. This oil is
extremely hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water
readily. POE oils can absorb 15 times as much water as
other oils designed for HCFC and CFC refrigerants.
Avoid exposure of POE oil to the atmosphere. Exposure
to the atmosphere can cause contaminants that are
harmful to R−410A components to form. Keep POE oil
containers closed until ready for use.
Puron (R−410A) refrigerant is provided in pink (rose)
colored cylinders. These cylinders are available with and
without dip tubes; cylinders with dip tubes will have a
label indicating this feature. For a cylinder with a dip
tube, place the cylinder in the upright position (access
valve at the top) when removing liquid refrigerant for
charging. For a cylinder without a dip tube, invert the
cylinder, with theaccess valve located on the bottom,
when adding liquid refrigerant.
Because Puron (R−410A) refrigerant is a blend, it is
strongly recommended that refrigerant always be removed
from the cylinder as a liquid. Admit liquid refrigerant into
the system in the discharge line when breaking the
refrigerant system vacuum while the compresor is OFF.
Only add refrigerant (liquid) into the suction line while
the compressor is operating. If adding refrigerant into the
suction line, use a commercial metering/expansion device
at the gauge manifold; remove liquid from the cylinder,
pass it through the metering device at the gauge set, and
then pass it into the suction line as a vapor. Do not remove
Puron (R−410A) refrigerant from the cylinder as a
vapor.
specified amount of refrigerant as listed on the unit's
rating plate.
Low−Charge Cooling
Using the Cooling Charging Charts (Figs. 23 thru 30),
vary the refrigerant until the conditions of the appropriate
chart are met. Note the charging charts are different from
the type normally used. These charts are based on
charging the units to the correct superheat for the various
operating conditions. Accurate pressure gauge and
temperature sensing devices are required. Connect the
pressure gauge to the service port on the suction line.
Mount the temperature sensing device on the suction line
and insulate it so the outdoor ambient temperature does
not affect the reading. Indoor-air cfm must be within the
normal operating range of the unit.
Suction Temperature should be58F (14C)..........
Using the Cooling Charging Charts
Take the outdoor ambient temperature and read the
suction pressure gauge. Refer to the chart to determine
what the suction temperature should be. If the suction
temperature is high, add refrigerant.
Refrigerant Charge
Unit panels must be in place when the unit is operating
during the charging procedure. To prepare the unit for
charge adjustment:
No Charge
Use standard evacuating techniques. Evacuate the system
down to 500 microns and let set for 10 minutes to
determine if the system has a refrigerant leak. If the
evacuation level raises to 1100 microns and stabilizes,
then the system has moisture in it and should be
dehydrated as GTAC2-5 recommends.
If the system continues to rise above 1100 microns, then
the system has a leak and should be pressurized and leak
tested using appropriate techniques as explained in
GTAC2-5. After evacuating the system, weigh in the
If the suction temperature is low, carefully recover some
of the charge. Recheck the suction pressure as the charge
is adjusted.
Select the appropriate unit charging chart from Figs. 22
thru 29.
Note the outdoor ambient temperature and read the
suction pressure gauge. Refer to the chart to determine
what the suction temperature should be. If the suction
temperature is high, add refrigerant. If the suction
temperature is low, carefully recover some of the charge.
Recheck the suction pressure as the charge is adjusted.
For 17–28 sizes, perform this procedure once for Circuit
A (using the Circuit A chart) and once for Circuit B (using
the Circuit B chart).

Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to
components.
The compressor is in a Puron refrigerant system and
uses a polyolester (POE) oil. This oil is extremely
hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water readily. POE
oils can absorb 15 times as much water as other oils
designed for HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Avoid
exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.
NOTE: Only factory−trained service technicians should
remove and replace compressor units.
Compressor Mounting Bolts: Compressor mounting
bolts should be periodically inspected for proper tightness.
Bolts should be tightened and have the torque set at 65−75
in−lb (7.3 − 8.5 Nm).
Compressor Rotation
On 3−phase units with scroll compressors, it is important
to be certain the compressor is rotating in the proper
direction. To determine whether or not the compressor is
rotating in the proper direction:
1. Connect service gauges 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.
NOTE: If the suction pressure does not drop and the
discharge pressure does not rise to normal levels:
4. Note that the evaporator fan is probably also rotating
in the wrong direction.
5. Turn off power to the unit. Use applicable lockout/
tagout procedures.
6. Reverse any two of the unit power leads.
7. Reapply power to the compressor.
The suction and discharge pressure levels should now
move to their normal start−up levels.
NOTE: When the compressor is rotating in the wrong
direction, the unit makes an elevated level of noise and
does not provide cooling.
Filter Drier
Replace the Filter Drier whenever the refrigerant system
is exposed to atmosphere. Only use factory specified
liquid−line filter driers with working pressures no less
than 650 psig (4482 kPa). Do not install a suction−line
filter drier in liquid line. A liquid−line filter drier designed
for use with Puron refrigerant is required on every unit.
The compressor using Puron refrigerant contains a POE
oil. This oil has a high affinity for moisture. Do not
remove the compressor’s tube plugs until ready to insert
the unit suction and discharge tube line ends.
24
Replacing the Filter Drier
Use the following steps to replace the Filter Drier.
1. Using a Puron (R410) gauge set, recover all refrig
erant from the system.
2. Use a tubing cutter to remove the filter drier from the
line.
NOTE: Do Not use a torch to remove the old filter drier.
The heat from the torch will allow contaminants into the
air and into the open refrigeration system.
3. Sweat a new replacement filter drier into the refriger
ant line.
4. Re-charge the refrigerant system.
Adjusting the Condenser−Fan
1. Shut off the unit power supply. Apply the appropriate
lockout/tagout procedures.
2. Remove the condenser−fan assembly (grille, motor,
and fan).
3. Loosen the fan hub setscrews.
4. Adjust the fan height as shown in Fig. 30.
5. Tighten the setscrews.
6. Replace the condenser−fan assembly.

Wet in Use Convenience Outlet Cover
The unit has a “wet in use” convenience outlet cover that
must be installed on the panel containing the convenience
outlet. This cover provides protection against moisture
entering the GFCI receptacle. This cover is placed in the
unit control box during shipment.
Duty Cycle
The unit-powered convenience outlet has a duty cycle
limitation. The transformer is intended to provide power
on an intermittent basis for service tools, lamps, etc. It is
not intended to provide 15-amps loading for continuous
duty loads (such as electric heaters for overnight use).
Observe a 50% limit on circuit loading above 8 amps (i.e.,
limit loads exceeding 8 amps to 30 minutes of operation
every hour).

are not factory−connected. Selection of primary power
source is a customer−option. If local codes permit, the
transformer primary leads can be connected at the
line−side terminals on a unit−mounted non−fused
disconnect or circuit breaker switch; this will provide
service power to the unit when the unit disconnect switch
or circuit breaker is open. Other connection methods will
result in the convenience outlet circuit being de−energized
when the unit disconnect or circuit breaker is open. See
Fig. 32.
GFCI Maintenance
Periodically test the GFCI receptacle by pressing the
TEST button on the face of the receptacle.
1. Press the TEST button on the face of the receptacle.
This should cause the internal circuit of the receptacle
to trip and open the receptacle.
2. Check for proper grounding and power line phasing
should the GFCI receptacle fail to trip.
3. Repair ground wire connections as needed and correct
the line phasing.
4. Press RESET button to clear the tripped condition.
Fuse On Powered Type
The factory fuse is a Bussman “Fusetron” T−15,
non−renewable screw−in (Edison base) type plug fuse.
Using Unit−Mounted Convenience Outlets
Units with unit−mounted convenience outlet circuits will
often require that two disconnects be opened to
de−energize all power to the unit. Treat all units as
electrically energized until the convenience outlet power
is also checked and de−energization is confirmed. Observe
National Electrical Code Article 210, Branch Circuits, for
use of convenience outlets. Always use a volt meter to
verify no voltage is present at the GFCI receptacles before
working on the unit.
Installing a Weatherproof Cover
A weatherproof while-in-use cover for the factory
installed convenience outlets is now required by UL
standards. This cover cannot be factory-mounted due to its
depth. The cover must be installed at the unit installation.
For shipment, the convenience outlet is covered with a
blank cover plate.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Before performing service or maintenance operations
on the convenience outlets, Lockout/Tagout all
electrical power to the unit.
System
The smoke detector system consists of a four−wire
controller (HT28TZ001) and one or two sensors
(HT50TZ001). Its primary function is to shut down the
rooftop unit in order to prevent smoke from circulating
throughout the building. It is not to be used as a life
saving device.
Controller
The controller (see Fig. 34) includes a controller housing,
a printed circuit board, and a clear plastic cover. The
controller can be connected to one or two compatible duct
smoke sensors. The clear plastic cover is secured to the
housing with a single captive screw for easy access to the
28
wiring terminals. The controller has three LEDs: Power,
Trouble and Alarm. A manual test/reset button is located

Sensor
The sensor (see Fig. 35) includes a plastic housing, a
printed circuit board, a clear plastic cover, a sampling
tube inlet and an exhaust tube. The sampling tube, when
used, and exhaust tube are attached during installation.
The sampling tube varies in length depending on the size
of the rooftop unit. The clear plastic cover permits visual
inspections without having to disassemble the sensor. The
cover attaches to the sensor housing using four captive
screws and forms an airtight chamber around the sensing
electronics. Each sensor includes a harness with an RJ45
terminal for connecting to the controller. Each sensor has
four LEDs: Power, Trouble, Alarm and Dirty. A manual
test/reset button is located on the left side of the housing.
Air is introduced to the duct smoke detector sensor’s
sensing chamber through a sampling tube that extends into
the HVAC duct and is directed back into the ventilation
system through a (shorter) exhaust tube. The difference in
air pressure between the two tubes pulls the sampled air
through the sensing chamber. When a sufficient amount of
smoke is detected in the sensing chamber, the sensor
signals an alarm state and the controller automatically
takes the appropriate action to shut down fans and
blowers, change over air handling systems, notify the fire
alarm control panel, etc.

initiates the FSD sequence by the PremierLink control.
FSD status is reported to the connected CCN network.
The sampling tube is inserted through the side plates of
the economizer housing, placing it across the return air
opening on the unit basepan. See Fig. 38. The holes in the
sampling tube face downward, into the return air stream.
The sampling tube is connected through tubing to the
return air sensor that is mounted on a bracket high on the
partition between return filter and controller location. The
Return Air Sensor is shipped in a flat−mounting location.
Installation requires that this sensor be relocated to its
operating location and the tubing to the sampling tube be
connected. See installation steps.
RTU−OPEN: The 24V signal is conveyed to the
RTU −OPEN J1−10 input terminal. This signal initiates the
FSD sequence by the RTU−OPEN control. FSD status is
reported to the connected BAS network.
Using Remote Logic: Five field−use conductors are
provided for additional annunciation functions.

Resetting Alarm and Trouble Condition Trips:
Manual reset is required to restore smoke detector systems
to Normal operation. For installations using two sensors,
the duct smoke detector does not differentiate which
sensor signals an alarm or trouble condition. Check each
sensor for Alarm or Trouble status. Clear the condition
that has generated the trip at this sensor. Then reset the
sensor by pressing and holding the reset button (on the
side) for 2 seconds. Verify that the sensor’s Alarm and
Trouble LEDs are now off. At the controller, clear its
Alarm or Trouble state by pressing and holding the
manual reset button (on the front cover) for 2 seconds.
Verify that the controller’s Alarm and Trouble LEDs are
now off. Replace all panels.
Troubleshooting
Controller’s Trouble LED is On
1. Check the Trouble LED on each sensor connected to
the controller. If a sensor’s Trouble LED is on, determine the cause and make the necessary repairs.
2. Check the wiring between the sensor and the controller. If wiring is loose or missing, repair or replace
as required.
Controller’s Trouble LED is Flashing
1. One or both of the sensors is 100% dirty.
2. Determine which Dirty LED is flashing then clean
that sensor assembly as described in the detector
cleaning section.
Sensor’s Trouble LED is On
1. Check the sensor’s Dirty LED. If it is flashing, the
sensor is dirty and must be cleaned.
2. Check the sensor’s cover. If it is loose or missing, secure the cover to the sensor housing.
3. Replace sensor assembly.
Sensor’s Power LED is Off
1. Check the controller’s Power LED. If it is off, determine why the controller does not have power and

WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this WARNING can result in
personal injury.
Disconnect all electrical power when servicing the fan
motor. Apply appropriate lockout/tagout procedures.
Motors with 2.9 and 3.7 bhp are equipped with an internal
overtemperature or protection device. The type of device
depends on the motor size. See Table 8.
The High Static option supply fan motor is equipped with
a pilot−circuit Thermix combination overtemperature/
overcurrent protection device. This device resets
automatically. Do not bypass this switch to correct
trouble. Determine the cause and correct it.
The Thermik device is a snap−action overtemperature
protection device that is embedded in the motor windings.
The Thermik can be identified by two blue wires
extending out of the motor control box. It is a pilot−circuit
device that is wired into the unit’s 24V control circuit.
When this switch reaches its trip setpoint, it opens the
24V control circuit and causes all unit operation to cease.
This device resets automatically when the motor windings
cool. Do not bypass this switch to correct trouble.
Determine the cause and correct it.
The External Overload Breaker is an overcurrent device
used on motors with a horsepower rating of 4.7 hp or
greater. This is a specially−calibrated circuit breaker that
is UL recognized as a motor overload controller. When
the current to the motor exceeds the circuit breaker
setpoint, the device opens all motor power leads to the
motor, shutting the motor down. Reset requires a manual
reset at the overload switch. This device (designated
IFCB) is located on the side of the supply fan housing,
behind the fan access panel. The Must Hold and Must Trip
values are listed on the side of the External Overload
Breaker.
Troubleshooting Supply Fan Motor Overload
Trips
The supply fan used in 50TC units is a forward−curved
centrifugal wheel. At a constant wheel speed, this wheel
has a characteristic that causes the fan shaft load to
DECREASE when the static pressure in the unit−duct
system increases and to INCREASE when the static
pressure in the unit−duct system decreases (and fan
airflow rate increases). Motor overload conditions
typically develop when the unit is operated with an access
panel removed, with unfinished duct work, in an
economizer−open mode, or a leak develops in the duct
system that allows a bypass back to unit return opening.

EconoMi$er IV Standard Sensors
Table 9 provides a summary of EconoMi$er IV I/O logic.
A functional view of the EconoMi$er is shown in Fig. 48.
Typical settings, sensor ranges, and jumper positions are
also shown. An EconoMi$er IV simulator program is
available to help with EconoMi$er IV training and
troubleshooting.
Outdoor Air Temperature (OAT) Sensor
The outdoor air temperature sensor (HH57AC074) is a 10
to 20 mA device used to measure the outdoor-air
temperature. The outdoor-air temperature is used to
determine when the EconoMi$er IV can be used for free
cooling. The sensor is factory-installed on the
EconoMi$er IV in the outdoor airstream. See Fig. 49. The
operating range of temperature measurement is 40 to
100F (4 to 38C). See Fig. 67.
Supply Air Temperature (SAT) Sensor
The supply air temperature sensor is a 3 K thermistor
located at the inlet of the indoor fan. See Fig. 49. This
sensor is factory installed. The operating range of
temperature measurement is 0° to 158F (−18 to 70C).
See Table 49 for sensor temperature/resistance values.
The temperature sensor looks like an eyelet terminal with
wires running to it. The sensor is located in the “crimp
end” and is sealed from moisture.
Outdoor Air Lockout Sensor
The EconoMi$er IV is equipped with an ambient
temperature lockout switch located in the outdoor
airstream which is used to lock out the compressors below
a 42F (6C) ambient temperature. See Fig. 61.

EconoMi$er IV Control Modes
IMPORTANT: The optional EconoMi$er2 does not include
a controller. The EconoMi$er2 is operated by a 4 to 20
mA signal from an existing field-supplied controller. See
Fig. 62 for wiring information.
Determine the EconoMi$er IV control mode before set up
of the control. Some modes of operation may require
different sensors. The EconoMi$er IV is supplied from the
factory with a supply−air temperature sensor and an
outdoor− air temperature sensor. This allows for operation
of the EconoMi$er IV with outdoor air dry bulb
changeover control. Additional accessories can be added
to allow for different types of changeover control and
operation of the EconoMi$er IV and unit.
42
Outdoor Dry Bulb Changeover
The standard controller is shipped from the factory
configured for outdoor dry bulb changeover control. The
outdoor air and supply air temperature sensors are
included as standard. For this control mode, the outdoor
temperature is compared to an adjustable setpoint selected
on the control. If the outdoor-air temperature is above the
setpoint, the EconoMi$er IV will adjust the outside air
dampers to minimum position. If the outdoor-air
temperature is below the setpoint, the position of the
outside air dampers will be controlled to provided free
cooling using outdoor air. When in this mode, the LED
next to the free cooling setpoint potentiometer will be on.
The changeover temperature setpoint is controlled by the
free cooling setpoint potentiometer located on the control.
See Fig. 50. The scale on the potentiometer is A, B, C,
and D. See Fig. 51 for the corresponding temperature
changeover values.

For enthalpy control, accessory enthalpy sensor (p/n:
HH57AC078) is required. Replace the standard outdoor
dry bulb temperature sensor with the accessory enthalpy
sensor in the same mounting location. See Fig. 70. When
the outdoor air enthalpy rises above the outdoor enthalpy
changeover setpoint, the outdoor-air damper moves to its
minimum position. The outdoor enthalpy changeover
setpoint is set with the outdoor enthalpy setpoint
potentiometer on the EconoMi$er IV controller. The

the outdoor air enthalpy to the return air enthalpy to
determine EconoMi$er IV use. The controller selects the
lower enthalpy air (return or outdoor) for cooling. For
example, when the outdoor air has a lower enthalpy than
the return air, the EconoMi$er IV opens to bring in
outdoor air for free cooling.
Replace the standard outside air dry bulb temperature
sensor with the accessory enthalpy sensor in the same
mounting location. See Fig. 45. Mount the return air
enthalpy sensor in the return air duct. See Fig. 53. Wiring
is provided in the EconoMi$er IV wiring harness. See Fig.
46. The outdoor enthalpy changeover setpoint is set with
the outdoor enthalpy setpoint potentiometer on the
EconoMi$er IV controller. When using this mode of
changeover control, turn the enthalpy setpoint
potentiometer fully clockwise to the D setting.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Sensor Input
The IAQ input can be used for demand control ventilation
control based on the level of CO2 measured in the space
or return air duct.
Mount the accessory IAQ sensor according to
manufacturer specifications. The IAQ sensor should be
wired to the AQ and AQ1 terminals of the controller.
Adjust the DCV potentiometers to correspond to the DCV
voltage output of the indoor air quality sensor at the
user-determined setpoint. See Fig. 56.

If a separate field-supplied transformer is used to power
the IAQ sensor, the sensor must not be grounded or the
EconoMi$er IV control board will be damaged.
When using demand ventilation, the minimum damper
position represents the minimum ventilation position for
VOC (volatile organic compounds) ventilation
requirements. The maximum demand ventilation position
is used for fully occupied ventilation.
When demand ventilation control is not being used, the
minimum position potentiometer should be used to set the
occupied ventilation position. The maximum demand
ventilation position should be turned fully clockwise.
Exhaust Setpoint Adjustment
The exhaust setpoint will determine when the exhaust fan
runs based on damper position (if accessory power
exhaust is installed). The setpoint is modified with the
Exhaust Fan Setpoint (EXH SET) potentiometer. See Fig.
50. The setpoint represents the damper position above
which the exhaust fans will be turned on. When there is a
call for exhaust, the EconoMi$er IV controller provides a
45 ± 15 second delay before exhaust fan activation to
allow the dampers to open. This delay allows the damper
to reach the appropriate position to avoid unnecessary fan
overload.
Minimum Position Control
There is a minimum damper position potentiometer on the
EconoMi$er IV controller. See Fig. 50. The minimum
damper position maintains the minimum airflow into the
building during the occupied period.
When using demand ventilation, the minimum damper
position represents the minimum ventilation position for
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) ventilation
requirements. The maximum demand ventilation position
is used for fully occupied ventilation.
When demand ventilation control is not being used, the
minimum position potentiometer should be used to set the
occupied ventilation position. The maximum demand
ventilation position should be turned fully clockwise.
Adjust the minimum position potentiometer to allow the
minimum amount of outdoor air, as required by local
codes, to enter the building. Make minimum position
adjustments with at least 10F temperature difference
between the outdoor and return-air temperatures.
To determine the minimum position setting, perform the
following procedure:
1. Calculate the appropriate mixed air temperature
using the following formula:
OA
(T
O x
100100
+ (TR x
)
RA
) =T
M
TO = Outdoor-Air Temperature
OA = Percent of Outdoor Air
= Return-Air Temperature
T
R
RA = Percent of Return Air
TM = Mixed-Air Temperature
As an example, if local codes require 10% outdoor
air during occupied conditions, outdoor-air
temperature is 60F, and return-air temperature is
75F.
(60 x .10) + (75 x .90) = 73.5F
2. Disconnect the supply air sensor from terminals T
and T1.
3. Ensure that the factory-installed jumper is in place
across terminals P and P1. If remote damper
positioning is being used, make sure that the
terminals are wired according to Fig. 52 and that the
minimum position potentiometer is turned fully
clockwise.
4. Connect 24 vac across terminals TR and TR1.
5. Carefully adjust the minimum position
potentiometer until the measured mixed air
temperature matches the calculated value.
6. Reconnect the supply air sensor to terminals T and
T1.
Remote control of the EconoMi$er IV damper is desirable
when requiring additional temporary ventilation. If a
field-supplied remote potentiometer (Honeywell p/n:
S963B1128) is wired to the EconoMi$er IV controller, the
minimum position of the damper can be controlled from a
remote location.
To control the minimum damper position remotely,
remove the factory-installed jumper on the P and P1
terminals on the EconoMi$er IV controller. Wire the
field-supplied potentiometer to the P and P1 terminals on
the EconoMi$er IV controller. (See Fig. 54.)
Damper Movement
Damper movement from full open to full closed (or vice
versa) takes 21/2 minutes.
Thermostats
The EconoMi$er IV control works with conventional
thermostats that have a Y1 (cool stage 1), Y2 (cool stage
2), W1 (heat stage 1), W2 (heat stage 2), and G (fan). The
EconoMi$er IV control does not support space
temperature sensors. Connections are made at the
thermostat terminal connection board located in the main
control box.
Occupancy Control
The factory default configuration for the EconoMi$er IV
control is occupied mode. Occupied status is provided by
the black jumper from terminal TR to terminal N. When
45
unoccupied mode is desired, install a field−supplied
timeclock function in place of the jumper between TR and
N. When the timeclock contacts are closed, the
EconoMi$er IV control will be in occupied mode. When
the timeclock contacts are open (removing the 24V signal
from terminal N), the EconoMi$er IV will be in
unoccupied mode.
Demand Control Ventilation (DCV)
When using the EconoMi$er IV for demand controlled
ventilation, there are some equipment selection criteria
which should be considered. When selecting the heat
capacity and cool capacity of the equipment, the
maximum ventilation rate must be evaluated for design
conditions. The maximum damper position must be
calculated to provide the desired fresh air.
Typically the maximum ventilation rate will be about 5 to
10% more than the typical cfm required per person, using
normal outside air design criteria.
A proportional anticipatory strategy should be taken with
the following conditions: a zone with a large area, varied
occupancy, and equipment that cannot exceed the required
ventilation rate at design conditions. Exceeding the
required ventilation rate means the equipment can
condition air at a maximum ventilation rate that is greater
than the required ventilation rate for maximum
occupancy. A proportional-anticipatory strategy will cause
the fresh air supplied to increase as the room CO2 level
increases even though the CO2 setpoint has not been
reached. By the time the CO2 level reaches the setpoint,
the damper will be at maximum ventilation and should
maintain the setpoint.
In order to have the CO2 sensor control the economizer
damper in this manner, first determine the damper voltage
output for minimum or base ventilation. Base ventilation
is the ventilation required to remove contaminants during
unoccupied periods. The following equation may be used
to determine the percent of outside air entering the
building for a given damper position. For best results there
should be at least a 10 degree difference in outside and
return-air temperatures.

+ (TR x
)
RA
) =T
M
TO = Outdoor-Air Temperature
OA = Percent of Outdoor Air
TR = Return-Air Temperature
RA = Percent of Return Air
TM = Mixed-Air Temperature
Once base ventilation has been determined, set the
minimum damper position potentiometer to the correct
position.
The same equation can be used to determine the occupied
or maximum ventilation rate to the building. For example,
an output of 3.6 volts to the actuator provides a base
ventilation rate of 5% and an output of 6.7 volts provides
the maximum ventilation rate of 20% (or base plus 15 cfm
per person). Use Fig. 56 to determine the maximum
setting of the CO2 sensor. For example, an 1100 ppm
setpoint relates to a 15 cfm per person design. Use the
1100 ppm curve on Fig. 56 to find the point when the CO
sensor output will be 6.7 volts. Line up the point on the
graph with the left side of the chart to determine that the
range configuration for the CO2 sensor should be 1800
ppm. The EconoMi$er IV controller will output the 6.7
volts from the CO2 sensor to the actuator when the CO
concentration in the space is at 1100 ppm. The DCV
setpoint may be left at 2 volts since the CO2 sensor
voltage will be ignored by the EconoMi$er IV controller
until it rises above the 3.6 volt setting of the minimum
position potentiometer.
Once the fully occupied damper position has been
determined, set the maximum damper demand control
ventilation potentiometer to this position. Do not set to the
maximum position as this can result in over-ventilation to
the space and potential high humidity levels.
CO2 Sensor Configuration
The CO2 sensor has preset standard voltage settings that
can be selected anytime after the sensor is powered up.
See Table 10.

b. Inspect for oil at all refrigerant tubing connec-
tions and on unit base. Detecting oil generally
indicates a refrigerant leak. Leak−test all refrigerant tubing connections using electronic leak
detector, halide torch, or liquid−soap solution.
c. Inspect all field−wiring and factory−wiring con-
nections. Be sure that connections are completed
and tight. Be sure that wires are not in contact
with refrigerant tubing or sharp edges.
d. Inspect coil fins. If damaged during shipping and
handling, carefully straighten fins with a fin
comb.
4. Verify the following conditions:

positioned in fan orifice. See Condenser−Fan
Adjustment section for more details.
b. Make sure that air filter(s) is in place.
c. Make sure that condensate drain trap is filled
with water to ensure proper drainage.
d. Make sure that all tools and miscellaneous loose
parts have been removed.
START−UP, GENERAL
Unit Preparation
Make sure that unit has been installed in accordance with
installation instructions and applicable codes.
IMPORTANT: Follow the base unit’s start-up sequence
as described in the unit’s installation instructions:
In addition to the base unit start-up, there are a few steps
needed to properly start-up the controls. RTU-OPEN’s
Service Test function should be used to assist in the base
unit start-up and also allows verification of output
operation. Controller configuration is also part of start-up.
This is especially important when field accessories have
been added to the unit. The factory pre-configures options
installed at the factory. There may also be additional
installation steps or inspection required during the start-up
process.
Additional Installation/Inspection
Inspect the field installed accessories for proper
installation, making note of which ones do or do not
require configuration changes. Inspect the RTU-OPEN’s
Alarms for initial insight to any potential issues. Refer to
the following manual: “Controls, Start−up, Operation andTroubleshooting Instructions.” Inspect the SAT sensor for
relocation as intended during installation. Inspect special
wiring as directed below.
49
Return−Air Filters
Ensure correct filters are installed in unit (see Appendix II
− Physical Data). Do not operate unit without return−air
filters.
Outdoor−Air Inlet Screens
Outdoor−air inlet screen must be in place before operating
unit.
Compressor Mounting
Compressors are internally spring mounted. Do not loosen
or remove compressor hold down bolts.
Internal Wiring
Check all electrical connections in unit control boxes.
Tighten as required.
Refrigerant Service Ports
Each unit system has two 1/4” SAE flare (with check
valves) service ports: one on the suction line, and one on
the compressor discharge line. Be sure that caps on the
ports are tight.
Compressor Rotation
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this CAUTION could result in
equipment damage.
Scroll compressors can only compress refrigerant if
rotating in the right direction. Reverse rotation for
extended times can result in internal damage to the
compressor. Scroll compressors are sealed units and
cannot be repaired on−site.
6. Replace the compressor if suction/discharge pressures
are not within specifications for the specific compressor.
Cooling
Set space thermostat to OFF position. To start unit, turn on
main power supply. Set system selector switch at COOL
position and fan switch at AUTO. position. Adjust
thermostat to a setting below room temperature.
Compressor starts on closure of contactor.
Check unit charge. Refer to Refrigerant Charge section.
Reset thermostat at a position above room temperature.
Compressor will shut off. Evaporator fan will shut off
after a 30−second delay.
To shut off unit, set system selector switch at OFF
position. Resetting thermostat at a position above room
temperature shuts unit off temporarily until space
temperature exceeds thermostat setting.
NOTE: The default value for the evaporator−fan motor
on/off delay is 45 seconds. The Integrated Gas Unit
Controller (IGC) modifies this value when abnormal limit
switch cycles occur. Based upon unit operating conditions,
the on delay can be reduced to 0 seconds and the off delay
can be extended to 180 seconds. When one flash of the
LED is observed, the evaporator−fan on/off delay has
been modified.
Ventilation (Continuous Fan)
Set fan and system selector switches at ON and OFF
positions, respectively. Evaporator fan operates
continuously to provide constant air circulation. When the
evaporator−fan selector switch is turned to the OFF
position, there is a 30−second delay before the fan turns
off.
NOTE: When the compressor is rotating in the wrong
direction, the unit will make an elevated level of noise
and will not provide cooling.
On 3−phase units with scroll compressors, 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 gauges 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. Note that the evaporator fan is probably also rotating
in the wrong direction.
2. Turn off power to the unit and install lockout tag.
3. Reverse any two of the unit power leads.
4. Reapply electrical power to the compressor.
5. The suction pressure should drop, and the discharge
pressure should rise, which is normal for scroll compressors on start−up.
