INSTALLATION

CHASSIS INSTALLATION

Units are shipped without a sleeve. In applications where unit is a replacement, it is recommended that a Carrier sleeve and grille be used.

The 52C and 52P units can retrofit General Electric, Amana, Trane, and Friedrich sleeves/grilles (be sure outdoor grille is installed on the sleeve). See Table 3 for details. Carrier Corporation must approve any other retrofit application.

For competitive retrofit applications, be sure that the foam seals (factory-installed on the tube sheets) provide a good seal between the outdoor grille and outdoor coil tube sheets. These foam seals provide a barrier to separate outdoor coil leaving air from mixing with the outdoor incoming air (known as air recirculation).

See Figure 5.

For retrofit applications, foam seals on outdoor coil tube sheets must make a seal between the coil and the grille or loss of performance and premature damage to the major components can result.

COMPETITIVE SLEEVE PREPARATION

IMPORTANT: Inspect the wall sleeve thoroughly prior to installation. Manufacturer does not assume responsibility for costs or damages due to defects in the sleeve or improper installation.

Disconnect all power to unit to avoid possible electrical shock during installation.

Remove any existing foam baffles that are installed on the outdoor grille if present. See Figure 6.

GE Sleeves Only

Metal Wall Sleeve — Remove metal clip on mounting rail located on left, inside bottom of metal sleeve and discard. See Figure 7.

Plastic Sleeve — Remove bottom seal from plastic sleeve. See Figure 8.

INSTALLATION OF A CARRIER WALL SLEEVE

USING A NON-CARRIER GRILLE

This application has become more common due to pre-manufactured windows with built-in grilles or renovations where a Carrier sleeve is used with an existing non-Carrier grille.

Use of a Carrier wall sleeve with a non-Carrier grille requires installation of an Accessory Baffle Kit, which ensures a good seal between the unit and exterior grille and prevents air recirculation. (See Figures 9 and 10.) Air recirculation is a large contributor to performance loss and premature damage to major components.

Carrier 52C User Manual

INSTALL CHASSIS IN SLEEVE (See Figures 11 to

13)

1.Inspect foam gaskets (top, bottom, both sides) on chassis. Replace foam gaskets if torn or missing.

IMPORTANT: The gaskets combine with the sleeve face to create a weather barrier. If the chassis is installed in a non-Carrier sleeve, this weather barrier may not be effective.

Chassis weighs up to 150 lb. For personal protection, seek help when lifting the unit. Lift unit by holding unit basepan.

2.If retrofitting into a GE, Amana, Trane, or Friedrich wall sleeve/grille, remove any existing foam seals from competitive manufacturer’s grille before installing unit.

3.Remove shipping tape from vent door. See Figure 11.

Failure to remove shipping tape will prevent fresh air vent door from opening and may result in damage to the vent door cable.

4.Carefully remove power cord packing material and discard.

5.Lift chassis level with wall sleeve.

6.Slide chassis into wall sleeve until foam gaskets rest firmly against front of wall sleeve. See Figure 12.

7.Screw chassis to wall sleeve with four 13/4-in. long screws taped to the control box. Screw holes are located on both sides of the mounting angles of the chassis. For Carrier wall sleeves, use the top-most and bottom-most screw holes. For competitive wall sleeves, line up the correct attachment holes on the chassis with the holes in the sleeves. See Figure 13.

OPERATING CONTROLS

The following controls are located on the front of the control box door, under front panel. To obtain access to operating controls, remove the unit front panel as shown on page 2. See Figure 18.

FAN CYCLE SWITCH — (Typically available at wall thermostat on RC or RP units.) This allows the fan to operate in two modes:

CON (Continuous) — This setting allows the fan to run continuously, circulating air even when the temperature setting has been satisfied. This switch helps to maintain the room temperature closer to the thermostat setting. Use this switch position when maximum comfort is desired. This is the factory default setting.

CYC (Cycle) — This setting allows the fan to cycle on and off with the compressor during heating or cooling. The fan stops when the temperature setting is satisfied. This results in longer unit off-time and wider variations in room temperature and humidity.

OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT (52CQ and 52PQ HEAT PUMP UNITS ONLY) — If the setscrew is left at the factory setting (in the heat pump position), the unit will operate in the reverse cycle heating mode. See Figure 18. When the temperature of the outdoor coil reaches 20 F (approximately 35 F outdoor air temperature), the compressor will shut down as unit is no longer capable of adequate heating in heat pump mode. The electric heater then becomes the primary heating source. The electric heater remains on until the temperature of the outdoor coil reaches 40 F; then the electric heater is shut off and the compressor is energized. Once the compressor is energized, the heat pump again becomes the primary heating source.

To set unit to operate in electric heat mode only, turn the setscrew to the electric heat position. See Figure 18.

IMPORTANT: If setscrew on standard heat pump unit is set to electric heat mode operation, the compressor is disabled for both heating and cooling operations. If setscrew on heat pump unit with wall thermostat control is set to electric heat mode operation, the compressor will be disabled only for heating operation.

OPERATING MODES (See Figures 19

and 20.)

OUTSIDE AIR — To bring outside air into occupied space, turn the vent handle to the full open position. See Figure 17.

OFF — The OFF mode terminates unit operation.

FAN— The FAN mode will circulate air in the space at high speed and at high or low speed for cooling only models.

HIGH HEAT OR HIGH COOL — Select mode and rotate temperature knob to desired comfort level. This function provides maximum heating or cooling, and is recommended to raise or lower the room temperature quickly.

LOW HEAT OR LOW COOL — Select mode and rotate temperature knob to desired comfort level. This function provides minimum heating or cooling with maximum dehumidification and quietest operation.

FAN SPEED CONTROL FOR 52P AND 52C WALL THERMOSTAT MODELS — For maximum comfort, fan speed is user selectable at the unit. See Figure 20.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

In order to maintain proper performance of your packaged terminal air conditioner or heat pump, it is very

important that the fan and outdoor coil, the blower wheel, blower scroll, electric heater, and all drain passages are thoroughly cleaned at least once per year.

Carrier recommends that as a minimum, the cleaning should be conducted prior to the start of each heating season. The air inlet filters should be cleaned every month.

Depending on local conditions, more frequent cleaning of the unit may be required to ensure optimum performance and long operating life. Examples of these special conditions include areas where construction dust or heavy airborne dirt is found, or environments that

promote the growth of fungus.

FIGURE 21 — INDOOR-AIR INLET

FILTER REMOVAL

Some local conditions and environments can cause fungi to grow inside the air conditioner, especially on indoor blower section. Dried fungi, dirt and other foreign material are fire hazards. Be sure to clean unit according to the instructions that follow.

INDOOR-AIR INLET FILTERS

INDOOR-AIR INLET FILTERS should be cleaned once each month.

IMPORTANT: Filters may become clogged if not cleaned properly. Clogged filters will restrict airflow which may lead to severe component damage and efficiency loss.

CLEANING INDOOR-AIR INLET FILTER — Two interchangeable air filters are located on the backside of the front panel. Each can be removed and cleaned one at a time. To remove and clean the filter, follow the steps below:

1.Grasp filter with both hands.

2.Gently pull the filter up and away from the unit. See Figures 5 and 21.

3.To clean filter, use a vacuum or soft bristle brush with a small amount of mild detergent.

NOTE: If detergent is used, remove any detergent residue with a gentle stream of clean water.

4.Allow filters to air dry.

5.Re-insert dry filters back into front panel.

Additional filters are available in multi-packs. Refer to

Accessories section.
