INTRODUCTION

The focus of this manual is to provide basic information on service procedures, safety, troubleshooting, cleaning, and component replacement for service technicians.

It is intended for use only by HVAC service technicians who have successfully completed instruction and received Type I Certiﬁcation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The instructions in this manual are general in nature and are not to be substituted for installation and service instructions shipped with the unit. No attempt to install, operate, adjust, repair, or dismantle any equipment should be made until the manufacturer’s instructions are read and thoroughly understood by the service technician. Even equipment that seems familiar may have speciﬁc model differences from year to year. Always review manufacturer’s instructions.

The Model 52S packaged terminal air conditioner and heat pump units are self-contained for installation through the wall for individual room heating and cooling. The Model 52S polymer sleeve is permanently fastened to the wall; the unit chassis slides out of the sleeve to allow the service technician easy access. An accessory louvered rear grille may be mounted on the sleeve. Many accessories are offered to complement the unit’s comfort control.

Before beginning any service procedures, it is important to check the unit model number. Even units that seem similar may have subtle differences that could affect service procedures. The 52S units covered in this book are the 52SC (Cooling Only model); the 52SE (Cooling with Electric Heat model); and the 52SQ (Cooling, Electric Heat, and Heat Pump model).

Knowing which model is being serviced will help determine if the unit is performing at optimum levels. The model number is located on the data information plate beneath the front panel of the unit. The data information plate also lists voltage ranges and other important electrical information about the unit. To access the data information plate, remove the front panel of unit by grasping panel on each side and gently pulling upward and out (Figure 1). See Figure 2 for model number nomenclature and Figure 3 for a sample data information plate.

SUMMARY OF DANGERS, WARNINGS, AND CAUTIONS

The terms DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION have speciﬁc meanings that identify the degree of hazard. Typically in the HVAC industry, these speciﬁc meanings are:

There is an immediate hazard which WILL result in severe personal injury or death.

Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

Potential hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury or equipment damage.

MONTHLY CLEANING

n AIR FILTERS — The indoor and vent air ﬁlters should

be cleaned once per month. Filters that are not cleaned become clogged and will restrict airﬂow. This may lead to major component damage. If a ﬁlter becomes torn, has holes, or other damage, replace it with a new one. Replacement ﬁlters are available through Carrier Finished Goods and Carrier Replacement Component Division.

n CLEANING THE INDOOR AIR FILTER — Remove

the indoor air ﬁlter as follows:

1. Remove the front panel to access the indoor air ﬁlter.

To remove front panel, grasp panel ﬁrmly near the top of each side. Lift upward and pull forward. It is not necessary to use excessive force. See Figure 1.

2. To remove the indoor air ﬁlter, gently grasp the

2 ﬁlter tabs, push down, and pull out. See Figure 22.

Once the indoor air ﬁlter has been removed, use a vacuum cleaner, or a soft bristle brush and a small amount of mild dish detergent to gently wash the ﬁlter. If detergent is used, remove detergent residue with a gentle, clean water stream. Let the ﬁlter air dry. Be sure to reinsert the ﬁlter into the unit.

FIGURE 22 — REMOVING FILTER

n REPLACING THE INDOOR AIR FILTER — Access

and remove indoor air ﬁlter as detailed above in Cleaning the Indoor Air Filter. Use a ﬁlter replacement with the Carrier Part No. AIR-FILTER-25PAK, available through Carrier Finished Goods and Carrier Replacement Component Division.

2. Swing open vent door. The ﬁlter is located directly

behind the vent door. See Figure 23.

3. Remove the vent air ﬁlter by gently pushing on the

ﬁlter slot.

Once the vent air ﬁlter is removed, it may be cleaned using either a vacuum cleaner, or a soft bristle brush and a small amount of mild dish detergent. If detergent is used, remove detergent residue with a gentle, clean water stream. Let the ﬁlter air dry. Be sure to reinsert the ﬁlter into the unit.

n REPLACING THE VENT AIR FILTER

Access and remove the vent air ﬁlter as detailed above in Cleaning the Vent Air Filter. Use a ﬁlter replacement with the Carrier Part No. 52SQ500204, available through Replacement Components Division.

n CHASSIS

As-needed cleaning of the unit’s exterior surfaces (Figure 24) optimizes the unit’s appearance and removes particles that may enter the air system. The 52S units are built to resist corrosion. The indoor front panel and wall sleeve are created from non-metallic compounds that do not rust. Additional corrosion protection may be factory installed on the partition, control box, and outside coil for use in highly corrosive environments. Mild detergents reduce electrostatic charges on plastic sections on the grille and are good cleaners. Use such detergent cleaners sparingly.

Use a clean cloth or brush to gently wipe exterior surfaces. Be careful not to push dirt or other ﬁbers into the unit’s interior.Accessible sleeve surfaces should also be wiped clean.

SEASONAL CLEANING

n ACCESSING THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR

COILS — The minimum cleaning recommendation for indoor and outdoor coils is once per season. To access the coils for a thorough cleaning, it is necessary to remove the Air System. To accomplish this task, perform the following steps:

1. DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO UNIT!

2. Remove the unit chassis from the sleeve as described

in the General Disassembly section of this manual. See Figure 6.

3. Remove each side angle from unit with a

driver. See Figure 25.

4. Locate and disconnect wires from the compressor.

Label each wire for easy reassembly.

For compressors that are known to be damaged: Remove refreigerant prior to disconnecting

compressor wires. Damaged hermetic compressor terminals may become loose and eject from the compressor. Wear safety glasses and keep your face away from the area above the terminals when removing compressor wires.

5. For Heat Pump Units — Disconnect the wire plug

n CLEANING THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR COILS

Coil ﬁns are sharp and may cut hands. Wear heavy protective gloves when cleaning coils.

1. Use a vacuum cleaner or soft bristle brush to remove

surface ﬁbers and dirt from each of the faces of the coil. Both the inner and outer surfaces of the coils must be cleaned. It is important to apply the tool in the same direction of the ﬁns, not against them. Applying the tool against the ﬁns may cause damage (ﬁn edges may bend over).

2. With a tank sprayer or a trigger spray extension tube,

spray coil cleaning solution evenly across the coils, making sure coils are thoroughly saturated. See Figure 28. Refer to instructions on the cleaning solution containers for best results. Do not use a high

pressure sprayer.

3. Rinse the coils thoroughly with low-velocity, clean

water.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3.

5. Drain water and cleaning solution that may have

collected in the basepan during the cleaning process by carefully tilting the chassis. This allows excess water to ﬂow out of the overﬂow notches.

FIGURE 28 — CLEANING THE COILS

Do not set unit on end to drain water from basepan, or at any other time. Oil will drain from the compressor sump, which could cause compressor failure.

6. Thoroughly clean the basepan and drain passages

by rinsing with clean water. Be sure all debris is removed from the drain valve. See Figure 29.

7. Allow unit components to air dry before reassem-

bling the unit. Once dry, reassemble by reversing Steps1-9from the Accessing Indoor and Outdoor

Coils section.

n ACCESSING THE INDOOR FAN AND INDOOR

FAN SCROLL — Dried debris and build-up on the blower wheel and blower scroll can reduce the efﬁciency of the unit. To properly access the indoor fan and indoor fan scroll for cleaning, refer to the GENERAL DISASSEMBLY section under To Access Indoor-Air

Section Components on page 6.

FIGURE 29 — BASEPAN SECTION

n CLEANING THE INDOOR FAN AND FAN

SCROLL — Once the indoor fan wheel and the indoor fan scroll have been accessed, proceed with the cleaning instructions detailed below:

1. Insert a piece of 9.5-in. by 9.5-in. cardboard between

the blower wheel and the opening in the blower scroll to prevent fungus and other debris from falling into the coil.

2. Bend a soft, spiral wound, long bristle brush, to con-

form to the inner curve of the blower wheel blades. See Figure 30.

3. Insert the brush into every blower wheel blade and

gently brush out dried material.

4. Clean the walls of the blower scroll by carefully brush-

ing with the bristle brush. Vacuum loose debris that may have fallen into the bottom of the scroll during the cleaning process.

5. Use the spray bottle to spray the blower wheel blades

and the inner surface of the blower scroll with a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide to kill any fungus spores. Wipe up excess solution in the bottom of the blower scroll with a clean cloth. See Figure 31.

6. Reassemble components by reversing the steps used

to disassemble the unit as detailed in the GENERAL DISASSEMBLY section under To Access Indoor-

Air Section Components.

n ACCESSING THE HEATER ASSEMBLY — To access

the heater assembly for cleaning, perform the following steps:

1. DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE UNIT.

2. Remove the unit front panel, the discharge air grille,

and the discharge air deck as described and shown in Figure 1 and the GENERAL DISASSEMBLY section.

3. Once the discharge air deck is removed, the heater

assembly is accessible.

n CLEANING THE HEATER ASSEMBLY — Once the

heater assembly is accessed, use compressed air to blow off any dust that has accumulated on the heater coils. Do not direct the air at the bi-metal discs of the temperature limit switches. Reassemble the unit by reversing Steps1-3.

FIGURE 30 — CLEANING INDOOR FAN

AND FAN SCROLL

Do not touch the heater coils or the temperature limit switches. Touching or depressing the bi-metal discs on the temperature limit switches may affect the set point or cause the secondary temperature limit switch to electrically open, requiring it to be replaced.

COMPRESSOR

A cutaway view of the rotary compressor with key components labeled is shown in Figure 32. The motor stator is rigidly attached to the compressor shell. The rotor is pressed onto the eccentric shaft, which is supported by 2 bearings. Both the discharge valve and discharge muffler are attached to the motor bearing. The pump

DISCHARGE TUBE

SUCTION INLET

SUCTION MUFFLER/ ACCUMULATOR

bearing provides a thrust surface for the shaft and the rolling piston. Compressed gas is separated from the suction gas by the vane. Discharge gas pressure and the vane spring keep the vane in contact with the rolling piston.

FIGURE 32 — ROTARY COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS

The rotary compression process (Figure 33), starts at top dead center as shown in (1). Suction gas ﬂows through the suction inlet and into the cylinder area. As the shaft rotates through 90 degrees, the rolling piston moves to position A as shown in (2). The suction volume is now the area deﬁned by point A and the tip of the vane. Gas in the remaining volume has been compressed above suction pressure. After another 90 degrees of shaft rotation, the rolling piston has moved to position B as shown in (3). Both the compressed gas and suction gas volumes are now equal. Another 90 degrees of shaft rotation is shown in (4). Compressed gas has reached a pressure sufﬁcient to open the discharge valve, and ﬂows from the cylinder into the compressor shell. After another 90 degrees of shaft rotation, the entire process begins again. Continuous suction and discharge allows for a smooth compression process.

The rolling piston is not in actual contact with the cylinder wall, vane, or bearing faces. Hydrodynamic sealing prevents leakage from the compressed gas volume to the suction volume via these paths. Precise control of machining tolerances, surfaces, ﬁnishes, and assembly clearances is critical to achieve high efficiency performance. In addition, the line contact between the vane tip and the rolling piston requires careful selection and control of materials to provide wear resistance and reliable long-term operation.

COMPRESSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

Refer to Figure 34 for a basic compressor troubleshooting chart.

BASIC HERMETIC COMPRESSOR ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS

There are 2 basic electrical tests for hermetic compressors that will determine the electrical state of the motor. The ﬁrst test requires checking the electrical resistance of each of the electrical motor windings. The second test requires checking the electrical resistance of each of the electrical motor windings to ground. These tests may be accomplished by performing the following steps:

1. DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE UNIT.

2. Remove the unit chassis from the sleeve as detailed

in the GENERAL DISASSEMBLY section.

3. Open the control box as detailed in the GENERAL

DISASSEMBLY section, then locate, label, and remove the 3 compressor wires from the following locations: the RUN wire (BLACK) from the capacitor, the START wire (BLUE) from the capacitor. The third wire, COMMON wire (YELLOW) may be connected to one of the following locations: for SC units the wire is on the indoor thermostat, for SE Remote Control Units the wire is on the indoor frost thermostat, for all other SE Units the wire is located on the push button switch, for ALL SQ Units the wire is on the outdoor frost thermostat.

FIGURE 33 — ROTARY COMPRESSOR

COMPRESSION PROCESS

For compressors that are known to be damaged: Remove refrigerant prior to disconnecting com-

pressor wires. Damaged hermetic compressor terminals may become loose and eject from the compressor. Wear safety glasses and keep your face away from the area above the terminals when removing compressor wires.

4. To measure the resistance between the windings of

the compressor motor, use a volt-ohmmeter set to the lowest ohm reading level then read and record the resistance between the RUN and START, START and COMMON, and RUN and COMMON wires. See Figure 35. The typical resistance readings will be about 4, 3, and 1 ohms respectively. The smaller values should add to equal the larger value. If this is not true then the compressor is likely shorted winding to winding.

NOTE: The rotary compressor has the compressor overload located under the terminal cover. If the overload is open it can show ohm readings that are inﬁnite. The unit should be off for at least an hour to give this overload time to reset if it is open.

5. Next, test the resistance individually of each wire to

the shell of the compressor. The paint on the compressor can prevent good contact between the probe and the metal. The paint should be removed from a small section of the shell of the compressor to ensure good contact by the meter probe. The volt-ohmmeter should be set to at least the 100X ohm level. The measured resistance between each wire and ground should be inﬁnite or O.L. on the readout. If there is measurable resistance one of the windings is likely shorted to ground. See Figure 36.

6. A compressor that has a winding to winding short or

a winding to compressor shell short is electrically failed and needs to be replaced. See the Compres- sor Replacement section for details.

COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT

Before working on the compressor, read the instructions thoroughly and gather the necessary tools for the job. Review all safety information on unit and in literature. Always turn off all power to unit to avoid the possibility of electrical shock.

Consider the following safety issues before beginning:

• New and unfamiliar tasks should be performed under the supervision of an experienced service technician.

• Personal protective equipment, such as work gloves and safety glasses, should be worn.

• The ﬂoor around the work area should be clean and free of debris.

• Make sure tools are the correct tools for the job and that they are working properly and in good condition.

• Never replace a blown fuse without correcting the cause of the original failure. If thermally operated circuit breakers or overloads are tripping, make sure the trip is not due to excessively high temperatures or loose connections.

• When brazing suction and discharge lines, cool the lines with a damp, clean cloth to prevent injury.

• Oil may be present in the compressor accumulator and interconnecting tubing. Use caution when removing tubing.

The compressor may still be hot from the brazing process.

9. For Cooling Only units and Heat/Cool Units:

Remove the strainer and capillary tubes from the system. A Cooling Only or Heat/Cool unit will have one strainer located in the liquid line between the outdoor coil and the capillary tube. The strainer may be an external bulb type or a tube inserted type. The tube inserted type must be cut out with a tubing cutter. Remove and save the section of liquid line tube that was connected to the capillary tube. Remove and discard the strainer. See Figures 37 and 38.

11. For Heat/Cool Units the ﬁlter drier is installed in

the liquid line, in place of the strainer. Trim the saved liquid line tube from Step 9, to be 1.5 in. long (saving the crimped portion), and braze it into the ﬁlter drier, Part No. KH43LG060. See Figure 39.

For Heat Pump Units: A suction line ﬁlter drier (Part No. Sporlan C-164S) is used and is installed

between the reversing valve and the compressor accumulator. There are several suction

tube conﬁgurations and the suction line ﬁlter drier will be ﬁeld piped and brazed into the suction tube for your unit. See Figure 40 for a general installation view.

12. Remove the grommets from the existing compressor

and install them onto the new compressor.

13. Install the new compressor and the new capillary

assembly (the correct capillary may be obtained from Carrier RCD), into the unit.

14. Leak check the unit with 150 psi of nitrogen

pressure.

15. For 52S units, the system should be evacuated from

the high side to the low side to a minimum of 200 microns of mercury. This evacuation removes residual moisture from the system prior to charging.

16. For Heat Pump Units: Recharge unit to the name-

plate refrigerant charge using a charging cylinder. For Cooling Only and Heat/Cool Units: Add

one ounce of refrigerant to the nameplate charge to compensate for the size of the liquid line drier.

17. Pinch off each access valve on the process tubes, in

2 places, using a pinch off tool such as Imperial tool #105-FF or Robinair Tool #12294. Release any refrigerant pressure trapped in the access valve by depressing the valve core, then conﬁrm that no R-22 is leaking past the pinch off tool location. Cut the access valve stem of the process tube above the top crimp and braze the top of each process tube to ensure the system is sealed, (leave the pinch off tool in place until after the brazing process is complete).

18. Reassemble the unit by reversing steps1-9.

19. Connect the compressor wires and energize the unit

to verify operation.

n REFRIGERANT CHARGING — Every mechanical

refrigeration system that is opened for servicing must be accurately charged before it is returned to service. Run the compressor ONLY after charging the system with refrigerant. The compressor should never be

operated on air!

It is important to remember that recovered and/or recycled refrigerant may only be recharged into the system from which it was initially recovered, or another one owned by the same customer. Charge level is important. Charge units only as recommended by manufacturer.

HEATERS

The heater in 52S units is located directly behind the evaporator coil. The heater assembly includes the heater (2.3 kW, 3.4 kW or 5 kW), a primary limit switch, and a secondary limit switch (Figure 41). The primary and secondary limit switches are safety switches that regulate heater operation. The primary limit switch disables current to the heater when the temperature exceeds the setting on the switch.

For example, a 3.4 kW heater may have a primary limit switch setting of 150 F.If the temperature at the switch exceeds 150 F, the primary limit switch will electrically open and shut off power to the heater. Once the temperature drops below 110 F, the primary limit switch will automatically reset.

The secondary limit switch works in the same manner as the primary limit switch, except it is a one time switch and has a slightly higher temperature setting. Once this switch is thermally opened, it must be replaced. Together the primary and secondary switches help maintain safe temperature limits for unit operation.

COMMON CAUSES OF HEATER FAILURE

Heater failure may result from broken heater coils, primary limit switch failure, or an open secondary limit switch. These conditions are generally caused by low or no airﬂow.

HEATER REMOVAL

Before working on the heater, read the instructions thoroughly and gather the necessary tools for the job. Review all safety information on the unit and in the product literature.

Before performing any cleaning, servicing, or maintenance to the unit, Disconnect All Power to avoid the possibility of electric shock and personal injury.

The manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, speciﬁcations or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

Consider the following safety issues:

• Prior to performing any service or maintenance on electrical equipment you must Disconnect All

Power.

• New and unfamiliar tasks should be performed under the supervision of an experienced service technician.

• Personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and work gloves, should be worn.

• The ﬂoor around the work area should be clean and free of debris.

• Make sure tools are the correct tools for the job, and that they are working properly and in good condition.

3. Remove the unit from the sleeve as detailed in the

GENERAL DISASSEMBLY section.

4. Remove the discharge air grille and the discharge air

deck as detailed in the GENERAL DISASSEMBLY section. Save screws.

5. Once the air discharge deck is removed, the heater

assembly is exposed. After noting positions of wires and labelling them, use a pair of needle nose pliers to carefully remove the wires connected to the heater assembly.

6. Remove the two

⁄4-in. screws mounting the heater assembly to the inside of the partition. Save the screws. See Figure 42.

7. Remove the heater assembly (Figure 43).

Examine the heater as follows to determine if it is operational:

Perform a visual inspection. The heater coil should be free of breaks. If there are any breaks in the coil, replacement of the heater assembly is necessary.

Coil resistance must also be checked to verify the heater is operating correctly. The resistance of the heater coils must meet approximate levels for the heater to perform at its optimum efficiency. See Figure 44 for approximate resistance for heaters at 75 F. Before checking the heater coil resistance, be sure all power to unit

is off.

To check resistance, set the volt-ohmmeter selector switch to the lowest ohms value. Next connect the voltohmmeter leads to each side of the heater coil at the studs that hold the limit switches in place. Incorrect readings can be obtained if the wires are not removed from the limit switches on the heater assembly. If the resistive reading is inﬁnite or zero, the heater is failed and replacement is necessary. Reinstall the heater assembly by reversing steps1-7.

OPERATING CONTROLS

The controls and components used in the 52S cooling only or heat/cool units are as follows: the selector

switch, the indoor thermostat, the dual capacitor, the temperature limiter, the vent lever, and the fan cycle switch (Figure 45).

The selector switch is used to determine the mode of operation: heat, cool, fan, or off. The indoor thermostat controls the room ambient temperature and cycles the heater or the compressor based on the selector switch setting. The dual capacitor aids in the start-up of the compressor and the fan motor. The temperature limiter is mounted on the thermostat under the escutcheon. It is a mechanical device that restricts the amount of rotation of the thermostat. The temperature limiter device may be adjusted by moving the plastic temperature selector tabs to another temperature location on the device. The vent lever is located in the upper right corner of the control box. It is a slide mechanism that opens and closes the vent door. The control may be accessed by removing the front panel of the unit. The fan cycle switch is used to provide 2 options of fan control. The ﬁrst option, CON, causes the fan to run continuously. The second option, CYC, causes the fan to cycle on when venting, heating, or cooling is requested and off when the thermostat is satisﬁed.

The 52S heat pump unit contains all the components of the heat/cool and cooling only unit, and the following additional ones: the outdoor frost thermostat and the reversing valve. The outdoor frost thermostat prevents operation of the unit in the heat pump mode when the outdoor coil temperature drops below 15 F, or at about 30 to 35 F outdoor ambient temperature (about 40 to 45 F outdoor ambient temperature for 1999 models). The unit automatically engages the electric heat strip under these conditions.

The outdoor frost thermostat has a manual override to place the unit in electric heat mode operation only. The override switch is located behind the front panel on the right side of the unit control box. Placing the override switch into electric heat mode operation will dis-

able the compressor for ALL heating or cooling operations.

The reversing valve allows for operation in reverse cycle heat pump mode. The valve is located in the piping system and is controlled by the reversing valve solenoid coil. The coil is energized only during the heating mode.

For 52S remote control (RC) units, all controls are located on the wall mounted thermostat except the vent lever and outdoor thermostat. Remote control is a factory-installed option only. There are 2 styles of thermostats qualiﬁed for use with 52S series Remote Control units. See Figures 46 and 47. For all other 52S units, room controls are located on the unit or unit control panel. Remote control units do not have a fan cycle switch.

See Figure 48 for sample control panels and Figure 49 for controls locations.

n FAN CYCLE — The fan cycle switch allows the fan to

operate in 2 modes: CON — Fan runs continuously, circulating air even when

the temperature setting has been satisﬁed. This helps to maintain the room temperature closer to the thermostat setting.

CYC —Fan cycles on and off with the compressor during heating or cooling. Fan stops when the temperature setting is satisﬁed. This results in longer unit off-time and slightly larger variations in room temperature and humidity.

Units built after the start of 1996 incorporate singlepole, double-throw fan cycle switches that have only 3 terminals. Units built prior to 1996 incorporate a doublepole, double-throw fan cycle switch with 6 terminals and a thermostat bulb heater. The additional terminals control the thermostat bulb heater.

n OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT (52SQ Units Only) —

The outdoor thermostat has 2 operating modes. The heat pump mode (selector screw set fully clockwise), allows the unit to operate normally in the reverse cycle mode. The electric heat mode (selector screw set fully counterclockwise), disables all compressor operating modes, both heating and cooling.

Defrost Cycle — When heat pump unit is operating in reverse cycle, the outdoor coil may begin to frost. As frost accumulates on the outdoor coil the unit may switch into defrost mode. The defrost mode is activated when the outdoor frost thermostat sensor detects a temperature below 15 F on the coil. At this point, the thermostat deenergizes the compressor and activates the electric heat. The unit will remain in electric heat mode until the outdoor thermostat senses 35 F. The defrost mode is a passive operation and may take some time before the coil defrosts.

Before cleaning, servicing, performing maintenance or removing the chassis from the wall sleeve, disconnect all power to the unit to avoid the possibility of electrical shock and personal injury. Only trained and qualiﬁed service personnel should perform installation and service procedures on these units. Untrained personnel may perform basic maintenance tasks such as cleaning and replacing ﬁlters. Refer to GENERAL DISASSEMBLY section of this manual for proper procedures to disconnect power to 52S units.

The Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, speciﬁcations or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

Consider the following safety issues:

• Prior to performing any service or maintenance on electrical equipment you must Disconnect All

Power.

• New and unfamiliar tasks should be performed under the supervision of an experienced service technician.

• Personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and work gloves, should be worn.

• The ﬂoor around the work area should be clean and free of debris.

• Make sure tools are the correct tools for job, and that they are working properly and in good condition.

• The 52S unit may weigh up to 150 pounds. Use a lifting device or ask for assistance if the unit must be moved.

n INDOOR THERMOSTAT (Heat/Cool and Cool Only

Units) (Figure 53) — The thermostat maintains the selected temperature by cycling the compressor on and off during cooling operation and the electric heater during heating operation. The thermostat DOES NOT

switch from heating to cooling, or cooling to heating. If the switch is in the CYCLE position, then

the fan will be cycled off when the thermostat satisﬁes. A bulb heater was incorporated on models built prior to 1996 to help provide closer temperature control. This heater does not affect the mechanical operation of the switch.

To verify the operation of the thermostat switch, a continuity test may be performed as follows:

1. Turn off unit power as described in GENERAL

DISASSEMBLY section.

2. Remove wire leads from thermostat. Note their loca-

tions to ease re-assembly.

3. Place one of the leads of the continuity tester on the

terminal marked 2, and the other lead on either the terminal marked 1 or the terminal marked 3.

4. Adjust the thermostat up or down to verify the con-

tacts of the switch open and close. When verifying continuity of a closed switch, the ohm reading should be 0 ohms. An open switch will show OL on the meter.

5. When testing is complete, reconnect the leads.

n INDOOR THERMOSTAT (Heat Pump Units)

(Figure 54) — The heat pump indoor thermostat uses a two-stage switch for the heating mode. The ﬁrst stage engages the compressor and reversing valve, and the unit operates in normal heat pump mode. The indoor thermostat maintains the selected temperature by cycling the compressor on and off in cooling mode. In the heating mode, the indoor thermostat will cycle the compressor or the heater, depending on the difference between the actual room temperature and the thermostat temperature setting.

When the room temperature is more than 4 F cooler than the indoor thermostat setting, the second heating stage of the indoor thermostat engages the electric heat strip. This design feature allows the user to rapidly warm the room with the electric heat strip by turning the thermostat to its highest setting. When room temperatures approach the desired temperature, the user may adjust the thermostat to a personal comfort setting, which allows for normal heat pump operation.

NOTE: For outdoor temperatures below approximately 35 F (45 F for 1999 models), the outdoor frost thermostat prevents heat pump mode operation and immediately engages the electric heat strip upon a call for heating. The electric heat strip is NEVER energized at the same time as the compressor.

n OUTDOOR FROST THERMOSTAT (Heat Pump Units)

(Figure 55) — The Outdoor Frost Thermostat (OFT) is a thermostat that uses a single-pole switch with a manual override selector. The thermostat switches between electric heat and compressor operation when the temperature of the outdoor coil falls below 15 F or rises above 35 F. Switching the override selector to electric heat disables the reverse cycle operation of the thermostat is manually switched to electric heat operation, the compressor is disabled for heating and cooling operations.

To verify the OFT is operational, a continuity test may be performed as follows:

1. Turn off unit power as described in GENERAL

2. Remove the leads from the OFT. Note their locations

to ease re-assembly.

3. Connect the continuity tester to the switch terminals

marked 1 and 2.

4. Rotate the override switch to the electric heat setting

and verify that there is continuity between terminals 1 and 2.

5. To check the other contacts, move the lead on termi-

nal 1 to terminal 3. Rotate the override switch to the heat pump setting. There should now be continuity between terminals 2 and 3.

n CAPACITOR — The 52S units use a dual capacitor.

One part of the capacitor is used with the fan motor. The other part of the capacitor is used by the compressor.

Run circuits on single-phase compressor motors use capacitors which dramatically affect the motor operation. Run capacitors are connected to the motor circuit at

all times.

To evaluate the capacitor, perform a visual check ﬁrst. A shorted capacitor may give a visual indication of its failure. For example, the pop-out hole at the top of a start capacitor may bulge or blow out. A run capacitor may bulge or leak. In these instances, the capacitor must be replaced with one recommended by the manufacturer. If there are no visual signs of capacitor failure, testing of the capacitor resistance may be done with a voltohmmeter as detailed below:

1. Turn off unit power as described in GENERAL

DISASSEMBLY section but do not unplug the service cord; it will supply ground connection for the unit chassis. Check to ensure power is off and

LOCKED OUT.

2. Connect one lead of a 20,000 ohm, 2-watt resistor to

the center group of terminals on the dual capacitor. Attach the other lead from the resistor to an unpainted metal section of the unit chassis. This allows that section of the dual capacitor to discharge. Repeat this process between the other group of terminals.

Capacitors are capable of holding charge similar to a battery and may cause an electrical shock.

3. Locate and disconnect the wires from the start and/or

run capacitor to isolate them from the remainder of the circuit. Refer to the unit wiring diagram if you need assistance locating wires.

4. Set up the volt-ohmmeter to measure resistance by

connecting the meter across the capacitor terminals. See Figure 56.

5. The reading on the meter should ﬁrst indicate zero,

or a low resistance, then slowly rise toward inﬁnity or some high value or measurable resistance. This indicates the capacitor is most likely good. If the reading goes to zero or a low resistance and stays there, the capacitor is likely shorted and needs replacement. If the reading immediately indicates inﬁnity, the capacitor is likely open and must be replaced.

6. Replace the capacitor if failed and rewire according

to the WIRING SCHEMATICS located in the control box of the unit.

FIGURE 56 — CAPACITOR TEST

n FAN CYCLE SWITCH — The fan cycle switch has

2 operating modes, continuous (CON) and cycle (CYC). To verify the fan cycle switch is operational, a continuity test may be performed as follows:

2. Label and remove the leads connected to fan cycle

switch. See Figure 57.

3. Connect the volt-ohmmeter for 1X ohms and check

for continuity from terminal 2 to 1 then change the switch position and check for continuity from terminal 2 to 3. For a 6-terminal switch this test should be done on terminals 5 to 4 and 5 to 6 as well.

4. Once test is complete, reconnect the leads.

FAN MOTOR

The fan motor is a permanent split capacitor (PSC) type motor. This motor is common in air-conditioning system applications. A PSC motor does not require the use of a relay and always has a run capacitor connected between the run and start windings of the motor. See Figure 62.

The 52S series fan motor has a motor shaft extended through both ends. It powers both the indoor and the outdoor fans. It has permanently sealed bearings that require no lubrication. There are many different fan motor models, but they typically are 2 speed or 3 speed and in 2 voltage categories, 208/230 and 265 volts.

The Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, speciﬁcations or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

Consider the following safety issues:

• Prior to performing any service or maintenance on electrical equipment you must Disconnect All

Power.

• New and unfamiliar tasks should be performed under the supervision of an experienced service technician.

• Personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and work gloves, should be worn.

• The ﬂoor around the work area should be clean and free of debris.

• Make sure tools are the correct tools for the job, and that they are working properly and in good condition.

• The 52S unit may weigh up to 150 pounds. Use a lifting device or ask for assistance if the unit must be moved.

BASIC F ANMOTOR ELECTRICAL TESTS

There are 2 basic electrical tests for PSC fan motors that will determine the electrical state of the motor. The ﬁrst test requires checking the electrical resistance between the motor windings. The second test requires checking the electrical resistance between the motor windings and ground. These tests may be accomplished by performing the following steps:

1. DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO UNIT.

2. Remove the unit from the sleeve and open the con-

trol box as detailed in the GENERAL DISASSEMBLY section.

3. Label and disconnect the fan motor wires from the

push button switch and capacitor as shown in Figure 5. Two-speed motors have 2 wires on the capacitor and 2 wires on the push button switch. Three-speed motors have 2 wires on the capacitor and 3 wires on the push button switch. Refer to the unit wiring diagram inside the control box.

4. Measure and record the resistance between the black

wire and each of the other wires. Make sure the motor is cool before attempting to measure resistance. The internal thermostat of the motor may be electrically open and will not close until the motor cools. See Figure 64 for typical motor winding resistance measurements. The resistance values in the table are approximate. Values that are within 10% of those listed are acceptable. If the motor in your model is not listed, ﬁnd a motor of similar horsepower and voltage on the chart and compare it to the resistance measurements of your motor.

5. Measure the resistance of each of the motor wires to

the motor casing. The resistance should be inﬁnite. Make sure the motor is cool before attempting to measure resistance. The internal thermostat of the motor may be electrically open and will not close until the motor cools. A motor that has measurable resistance to ground is shorted to ground and must be replaced.
