INTRODUCTION

The 50WQ units are completely self-contained

cooling and heating systems. They are water-to-air heat pumps designed for indoor installation. They may be connected into existing duct systems which are properly sized and designed to handle air quantity of 350 to 450 cfm per ton of cooling. Re quired connections include supply air duct, water supply and return lines, high- and low-voltage wiring. Factory-supplied air filter is installed in rack on unit return air section. See Table I for filter size.

Use recommended thermostat and subbase (Table 3)

for proper unit operation.

INSTALLATION

Step 1 — Check Equipment and Jobsite

UNPACKAGE UNIT — Move to final location. Slide from carton taking special care not to damage service valves or grilles.

INSPECT EQUIPMENT — File claim with ship ping company if shipment is damaged or incomplete.

COMPLETE OR CONSIDER THESE SYSTEM

REQUIREMENTS before installation:

a. Consult local building codes and National Elec

trical Code (NEC) for special installation requirements.

b. Consider type of water source. Ensure there is an

adequate supply of water at temperature of 45 F to 90 F with minimum pressure of 10 psig.

c. Provide sufficient space for water piping, con

densate drain, wiring and servicing unit. See

Fig. 1. When front (external) water piping

connections are used, locate unit so piping does

not block front access panels. (Units installed in

confined areas may have to be removed for major

servicing such as compressor or fan motor replacement.)

d. Provide a minimum 6-in. clearance between

return air filter and adjacent wall.

e. Mount 50WQ on floor or solid platform so unit is

elevated. Make sure unit is supported from the bottom. To reduce sound transmission, es pecially when 50WQ is located in a closet or utility room having louvered doors, the following

acoustical treatment is recommended; place an isolation pad under unit. Pad must be same size as unit base. Construct a 1-in. fiberglass sound shield in front of unit.

Step 2 — Connect Supply Ductwork to unit

supply air duct connection flange. Refer to Fig. 1

and Table 1 for connection size and location. If

necessary, refer to Carrier System Design Manual, Part 2, for system air duct design. When designing and installing ductwork, consider the

following:

a. Size duct for 350 to 450 cfm per ton of cooling

capacity. b. Avoid abrupt duct size increases and reductions. c. Use flexible connectors between ductwork and

unit to prevent transmission of vibration.

DESCRIPTION UNIT

Honeywell thermostat | Ail Thermostat Subbase ~j All Solid-State Time Guard® Device

(Six 38CQ900152)

All

d. Ducts passing thru an unconditioned space must

be insulated and covered with vapor barrier in accordance with the latest issue of SMACNA

(Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractor’s National Association) and NESCA (National Environmental Systems Contractor’s Associa

tion) minimum installation standards for resi

dential heating and air conditioning systems.

Step 3 — Make Piping Connections

CONNECT WATER SUPPLY AND RETURN LINES to water inlet and outlet pipe connections shown in Fig. I and 2. Place plug in unused connec tions. Use flexible hose for water line to reduce possible vibration and improve unit serviceability.

Make sure hoses or pipes are suitable for system

water pressure and sized for proper flow rate.

CAUTION: Improper heat exchanger water

flow due to pjpiiîg, valving or improper pump

operation is hazardous to units.

For water flow and temperature data refer to

Start-Up section, page 4.

CAUTION: Galvanized pipe or fittings are not recomtnended for use with these units due to possible electrolysis.

INSTALL BALANCING VALVES (with shutoff)

in water supply and return lines for water flow

adjustment and a means of water shutoff, if neces sary, when servicing unit. When multiple units are conneeted to a eooling tower, valves permit removal of one unit without interrupting water flow to other units.

INSTALL WATER REGULATING VALVES (if used) in water supply line near unit. Multiple unit installations using cooling tower water do not

normally use a water regulating valve.

MAKE CONDENSATE DRAIN LINE CON

NECTION to female pipe connection provided on

unit. Fig. 2. Install a trap in condensate line as close

as possible to unit. Trap must be at least 3 in. deep

and not higher than the bottom of unit condensate

drain opening. Pitch condensate line to open drain

or sump. Insulate a condensate drain line located above a living area.

Step 4 — Make Electrical Connections — Field

wiring must comply with local and national fire, safety and electrical codes. Voltage to unit must be within the operating voltage range indicated on nameplate or in Table 2. On 3-phase units, phases must be balanced within 2%.

Operation of unit on improper line voltage or with excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse and is not covered by Carrier Warranty.

INSTALL A BRANCH CIRCUIT DISCONNECT PER NEC of adequate size to handle unit starting current. Locate disconnect within sight of and readily accessible from the unit, per Section 440-14 of National Electrical Code (NEC).

BRING POWER LEADS INTO UNIT — Extend leads from diseonnect per NEC thru hole provided (Fig. 1) into line wiring splice box. Fig. 3.

CONNECT GROUND LEAD TO GROUND

LUG IN SPLICE BOX for safety. Connect power

wiring. See Fig. 3. Splice line power leads to yellow

and black pigtails on single-phase units or yellow

pigtails on 3-phase units. Use wire nuts. Tape each

connection.

Unit transformer on 208-230-volt units is factory wired for 230/24-volt operation. For 208/24-volt operation, remove black (230-v) transformer lead from unit contactor and connect red (208-v) lead to contactor. Cap unused transformer lead.

&ÌK>wn in Tabie 4,

Set fan motor speed on 460-volt units — Two-speed fan motor is factory wired for high-speed operation. (Yellow and black power leads from control box are connected to the yellow and black fan motor leads.)

Change fan motor to low speed by wiring as follows:

1. Splice the violet and black fan motor leads together.

2. Splice yellow and black power leads from control box to yellow and red motor leads. (Yellow-toyellow and black-to-red.)

CONNECT CONTROL POWER WIRING (24-v)

— Power leads are brought thru 1 / 2-in. hole pro vided in unit. Fig. 1. Extend leads to low-voltage terminal board located on top of control box. Fig. 5.

Connect leads to terminal board as shown in Fig. 3.

Use room thermostat HH01AD042 and thermo stat subbase HH93AZ044 for proper unit operation. Be sure that field-installed jumper wire is connected between subbase terminals W and Y. Set thermo stat heat anticipator at 0.45 amp for 1-phase units and 0.50 amp for 3-phase units.

2. Ensure that water temperature entering unit is between 45 F minimum and 90 F maximum. For water temperature below 60 F, insulate supply line and install a secondary drain pan under the unit to remove condensate from heat exchanger and internal plumbing.

CAUTION: Water teniperattJre otttside

specified temperature range may cause damage to uiijt.

3. Ensure that supply water is clean and air is purged from system. Air in supply water causes scaling in heat exchanger. Foreign material in water and/or excessive velocity of water can cause damage to tubing.

4. When using a semi-closed system with an “open” cooling tower, a water treatment system should be operational with initial water flow.

To Start Unit — Ensure that air filter is in place on

unit filter flanges provided. Do not operate unit without filter in place. Adjust the thermostat as follows:

1. Set selector switch at OFF.

2. Turn on main disconnect switch to unit.

3. Set fan switch as desired (ON or AUTO.).

4. Set thermostat dial at desired temperature.

5. Set selector switch at HEAT or COOL.

Check system refrigerant charge. See Refrigerant

Charging on page 6.

-^Unit Single-Phase Compressors that are

equipped with a compressor start thermistor (PTC device) — When supply voltage is within limits indicated on nameplate and compressor will not start, check the thermistor with an ohmmeter.

If the PTC is good, and the compressor does not start, disconnect the PTC from the starting circuit and give unit a temporary capacitance boost. Refer to Carrier Standard Service Techniques Manual, Chapter 2, for details on capacitance boost pro cedure. If unit does not start with capacitance boost, compressor may be defective. If unit does not start, check starting capability with PTC assistance. If questionable, remove PTC, add start capacitor and

start relay per start kit installation instructions.
