Thank you for choosing Carrier! You can feel confident
in your selection because the same pride in craftsmanship and engineering knowledge that goes into Carrier
equipment at the Astrodome in Texas, the Sistine
Chapel in Rome, the US Capitol Hall of Congress, and
thousands of other installations worldwide has gone
into the construction of this unit.
The Carrier package terminal air conditioners and
heat pumps provide a high standard of quality in performance, workmanship, durability and appearance as
they heat and cool the occupied air space year round.
This manual provides information for ease of installation, operation and maintenance of the 52C unit. The
following units are covered in this manual (see
Figure 1 for additional unit information):
52CE 60 Hz cooling with electric heat units
52CQ 60 Hz cooling, electric heat, and heat pump units
All models are designed for through-the-wall installation. Separate installation instructions are included
with all accessory components. See Accessories section

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT alter cord or plug, and DO NOT use an
extension cord. Personal injury or damage to the
unit may result.
Be sure that your outlet matches the appropriate
blade configuration of the supplied plug and that it is
within reach of the service cord. A hardwire kit is
available as an accessory to change cord-connected
units to hardwired units. (See Accessories section,
page 14.)
GROUNDING
■
— For safety and protection, the unit
is grounded through the service cord plug or through
separate ground wire provided on hardwired units. Be
sure that the branch circuit or general purpose outlet
is grounded.

VOLTAGE SUPPLY
Check voltage supply a t outlet. For satisfactory results, the voltage range must always be within the
ranges found on the data information plate
(Figure 1).
CORD-CONNECTED UNITS
■
supplied outlet must match the plug for the standard
208/230-v units and be within reach of the service
cord. The standard cord-connected 265-v units require
an accessory electrical subbase for operation. See

CHASSIS INSTALLATION
Units are shipped without a sleeve. In applications
where unit is a replacement, it is recommended that a
Carrier sleeve be used. The 52C unit can retrofit
General Electric, Amana and Trane sleeves/grilles (be
sure outdoor grille is installed on the slee ve). A retrofit
kit with instructions is included with every unit. See
Table 3 for details. Carrier Corporation must approve
any other retrofit application. In deep-wall applications, if an existing grille is used on an outdoor wall
opening, do not install an additional outdoor grille on
unit sleeve.
Be sure that the foam strips and/ or baffles provide a
good seal between the grille and condenser coil t ube
sheets. These foam strips or baffles provide a barrier
to separate condenser air from the major components
(compressor and fan motor). See Figures 5 to 8.
NOTE: Inspect wall sleeve for any damage or deterioration before installing chassis.
If baffles are not installed properly, loss of performance and premature damage to the major components can result.
