Geothermal systems transfer heat from a build ing
to the earth in the cooling mode, or from the
earth to the building in the heating mode. Water
is used as the heat transfer medium, either in a
closed loop piping system, or by directly pumping
well water. By using this stable thermal source,
geothermal heat pumps provide energy effi cient
comfort year around.
Highest Effi ciency
The extremely high levels of effi ciency are
possible because a geothermal heat pump only
uses electricity to move heat, not produce it. A
geothermal unit typically supplies 4 kilo watts of
heat for every kilowatt of elec tric i ty used. Three of
these kilo watts of heat come directly from the ear th
itself, and are clean, free, and renewable. Overall,
geothermal technology offers the highest cooling
EER’s and heating COP’s available in the industry.
Most systems also include a hot water generator,
which diverts a portion of the supplied heat to the
domestic water heater. This provides a substantial
portion of a family’s hot water needs at a very low
cost. Overall, geothermal technology offers the
highest cooling EER’s and heating COP’s available in
the industry.
Agency (EPA) and the De part ment of Energy
(DOE). Because it is lowest in CO2 emissions,
geothermal tech nol o gy provides a solution to global
warming by primarily using the natural energy
of the earth. In contrast, traditional space
conditioning systems depend upon the exploitation
and burning of fossil energy sources with the
resultant greenhouse gas emis sions. Also, Puron®
HFC 410A refrigerant is used in the GT-PX series
equipment for minimum global warming impact and
zero ozone depletion.
Better Investment
Low life-cycle costs are provided by the low
op er at ing and maintenance costs of geothermal
systems, even when the higher initial in stal la tion costs
are considered. In new con struc tion, monthly energy
savings typically exceed the increased mort gage
payments. Therefore, cash fl ow can be positive from
the start. In retrofi t systems, a buyer who purchases
with cash usually realizes a return on in vest ment
well above certifi cate of deposit rates. And, with
equip ment life ex ceed ing 20 years, a Carrier
geothermal system is a lasting in vest ment.
Electric utilities, recognizing the dual benefi ts of
high effi ciency and low electric peak demand, often
provide incentives to purchase these systems.
Maximum Comfort
Geothermal heat pumps also provide higher
comfort levels than traditional space conditioning
equipment. By using a relatively warm source of
heat such as the earth, supply air temperatures
are signifi cantly higher in the heating mode than
traditional air-source heat pumps. Geo ther mal
heat pumps also cycle much less often than fossil
furnaces, creating a consistent indoor temperature
with comfortable relative humidity.
Environmentally Friendly
The environmental advantages of geothermal
systems have caught the eye of governmental
agencies such as the En vi ron men tal Pro tec tion
Before choosing a geothermal system, many
application factors must be evaluated including:
• Ground water availability and quality
• Loop installation costs
• Land area available
• Sub-soil conditions
• Local codes
• Owner preferences
Carrier dealers have the expertise and computer
software to determine the best type of system.
Many regions have contractors specializing in the
in stal la tion of the ground loop portion of the system.

Indoor & Outdoor Split
Geothermal Comfort Systems
Closed Loop Systems
Closed Loop Systems consist of an underground
heat exchange network of sealed, high strength
poly eth yl ene plastic pipe and a Flow Controller
pumping module. When cooling, the loop fl uid
temperature will rise, and rejected heat is dissipated
into the cooler earth. Con verse ly, while heating, the
loop fl uid temperatures fall, and heat is absorbed
from the earth. Carrier Flow Controller pumping
modules utilize small wattage pumps to circulate the
water/antifreeze fl uid within the piping system. The
plastic heat exchange loop is closed and ther mal ly
fusion-welded at all connections in the same manner
as natural gas distribution lines. Closed loops do not
require a ground water supply or drain, and they are
not subject to mineral build up.
Closed Loops can be installed in vertical or
hor i zon tal confi gurations, or submerged in a
pond or lake. When designed properly, all three
alternatives operate with similar effi ciency. Carrier
high density poly eth yl ene plastic pipe is used for all
closed loop installations. Pipe con nec tions are heat
fused to form joints that are stronger than the pipe
itself. Carrier loop piping has a life expectancy in
excess of 50 years.
Vertical Loops are the ideal choice when available
land area is limited.
Drilling equipment is
used to bore smalldiameter vertical
holes. Two pipes
joined together with
a u-bend fi tting are
inserted into the
vertical bore. Bore hole depth ranges from 100-300
feet per system ton. Bores must be spaced from
10-15 feet apart and properly grouted. The land
space required ranges from 100-200 square feet per
system ton.
Pond (Lake) Loops are very economical to install
when a body of
surface water is
available, because
ex ca va tion costs are
mostly eliminated.
Coils or “slinky” mats
of pipe are simply
placed on the bottom
of the pond (lake). In most cases, 1/4 to 1/2 acre of
water surface, with a min i mum depth of 8-10 feet, is
needed for a typical res i dence.
Horizontal Loops are often considered when
adequate land space
is available. The
pipes are placed in
trenches, excavated
by a backhoe or chain
trencher to a depth of
4-6 feet. De pend ing
on design, from 1-6
pipes are installed in each trench. Multiple pipe
and coiled “slinky” con fi g u ra tions are often used
to conserve land re quire ments and reduce overall
installed loop costs. Horizontal boring technology
can also be used to install u-bend loops 10-15 feet
deep with minimal landscaping disruption. Trench
lengths range from 100-400 feet per system ton.
Trenches must be spaced from 6-10 feet apart. The
overall land area required ranges from 750-1,500
square feet per system ton.
Open loop systems utilize ground water as a direct
energy source when
good quality water
is available at a
reasonable pumping
depth. A well must
have enough capacity
to deliver a minimum
of 1.5 gpm per system
ton during peak
op er a tion. Ditches, fi eld tiles, ponds and streams are
the most common discharge systems. Re in jec tion or
semi-closed recirculation wells can also be utilized
in some regions. In ideal con di tions, an open loop
ap pli ca tion can be the most eco nom i cal type of
system to install.

GT-PX
Rounding Out the Product Line
Building upon the overwhelming market success of
the GT-PX packaged unit, the split system uses the
same components in a more fl exible confi guration.
The GT-PX split system compressor section can be
coupled with a variety of air handlers and add-on
furnace coils to achieve the highest effi ciencies of
any split system heat pump on the market today,
while still providing the fl exibility of an all-electric or
dual fuel system and a remote compressor section
location. Split systems are often used in areas where
it would be diffi cult to install a packaged unit, such as
in an attic or crawl space.
Puron® Refrigerant
Puron® is a non-chlorine based (HFC
410A) refrigerant, that with R-407C
and R-134A, is seen as the future of
all refrigerants used worldwide. HFC
410A characteristics compared to R22 are:
• Binary and near azeotropic mixture of 50% R-32
and 50% R-125.
• Zero ozone depletion potential and low global
warming potential.
• Virtually no glide. Unlike other alternative
refrigerants, the two components in HFC 410A
have virtually the same leak rates. Therefore,
refrigerant can be added if necessary without
recovering the charge.
Copeland Two-Stage Scroll Compressor
Achieve a greater level of comfort.
The Copeland Scroll UltraTech™
provides superior comfort than
fi xed-capacity compressors by
incorporating a revolutionary twostep design. With a unique 67%
part-load capacity step, systems
with UltraTech™ maintain precise
temperature levels and lower relative
humidity. This eliminates uneven peaks and valleys
and allows for steady cooling comfort. Homeowners
now have a better, more effi cient way to power
their heating and cooling system, raising their level of
comfort, while lowering energy bills. So when your
customers need a new heating and cooling system,
make sure it has the best technology inside – the
Copeland Scroll UltraTech™ compressor.
Save with superior effi ciency. Over 40% of summer
utility bills can come from the air conditioner
compressor operation. A system with the Copeland
Scroll UltraTech™ compressor delivers higher
effi ciency than any other single compressor system.
In fact, systems with UltraTech™ provide up to 60%
greater energy effi ciency as compared to 10 SEER
systems – which can save homeowners hundreds
of dollars a year in energy costs.
Take it easy with quieter control. Copeland
Scroll UltraTech™ is remarkably quiet at both
full- and part-load capacity. In fact, it is up to four
times quieter than a reciprocating compressor.
Homeowners can enjoy its superior effi ciency and
comfort without having to hear the operation.
Learn the beauty of the design. With Copeland Scroll
UltraTech™, two internal bypass ports enable the
system to run at 67% part-load capacity for better
effi ciency
and humidity
control. Based
on demand,
the modulation
ring is
activated,
sealing the bypass ports and instantly shifting capacity
to 100%. Take advantage of “shift on the fl y” stage
changing (no stopping and starting required like other
two-stage compressors).
Choose proven scroll performance. While Copeland
Scroll UltraTech™ builds on established scroll
technology, it is still a scroll at heart, which means
it operates with fewer moving parts, no volumetric
effi ciency drop-off or compression leakage. The result
is unsurpassed reliability and virtually silent operation
for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Carrier introduced the industry to the fi rst ever
“outdoor” geothermal split system with internal
pumping for residential applications. We are giving
the consumer choices for unit location! The unit may
be installed inside or outside, thereby satisfying the
requirements of almost any home. When installed
outside, the unit may be placed on an existing pad
and easily connected to existing electric service. And
with this installation option, the fl uid loop remains
outside avoiding extensive installation inside the home.
The GT-S is geothermal without the hassle.
Why “Paradigm Shift”?
We have defi ned the paradigm shift as follows: to
advance a model of technology beyond the familiar.
But what do we mean? Essentially, our GT-S is taking
traditional geothermal technology a step fur ther
by offering a unique split system design suitable for
any home. Home owners can now enjoy all the
savings of a geothermal system with lower installation
costs and less hassle. More importantly, the GT-S is
opening up the previously illusive retrofi t market.
Hence, our slogan “From Air to Water...”. The GT-S is
a competitive product designed to shift traditional air
source homeowners to the benefi ts of water source
geothermal technology.
From the utility perspective, the
perfectly embodies what the utility industry has been
searching for in geothermal: Lower fi rst cost, simple
and easy to service, fi ts traditional dealer practices
and broad market appeal especially for retrofi t, etc.

just about
The GT-S Concept
The
GT-S
provides a unique solution to many of the
problems associated with single-package geothermal
units. In addition, it substantially reduces overall
installed costs and perhaps more importantly, opens
up the largely untapped retrofi t market (which, for
conventional equipment, is over 3 times larger than
the new construction market).
In new construction, the
over packaged geothermal units: The fl uid loop is
kept outside, which keeps large diameter piping,
fl ammable antifreezes and fl ushing carts (a large,
messy service tool) out of the home. The outdoor
compressor means noise and most service activity
will remain outside. The indoor air handlers are quiet,
require less space and allow less costly ductwork
(they don’t have to be side return with canvas collars
and plenum lining). Also, a GT-S can utilize a gas
furnace as the blower and supplemental heat (dual
fuel or add-on) which removes a major consumer
barrier in that geothermal has traditionally forced the
homeowner to make an all-electric home decision.
An add-on application also allows the option of sizing
the geothermal component to the cooling load,
rather than heating, which may further reduce fi rst
GT-S
costs. The
construction segment than geothermal currently
captures, even when marketed through existing
geothermal dealers.
In the replacement market, the
the range of suitable geothermal applications. Current
geothermal retrofi ts have required a complete change
out of all existing equipment, elaborate ductwork
modifi cations, complex routing of interior loop fl uid
lines including below grade foundation penetrations,
upgraded electrical service and unit feeders (110v
furnace being changed to 240v heat pump with
electric backup), and more. This assumes that a
geothermal package unit can even be adapted to fi t
into the existing space. This process is expensive and
disruptive to the owner (they typically don’t want to
change radically from what they have); hence the lack
of geothermal retrofi ts existing. In contrast, the
S
can be installed outside on the same line set and
electric service supplying the existing air conditioner
or heat pump condensing unit. The loop stays outside.
Only the indoor coil might need to be changed on
an existing furnace, or possibly the air handler on an
older heat pump. The purchase timing could be driven
by a fi rst-time central cooling addition; the upgrade
replacement of an aging or broken air conditioner, heat
pump or furnace; an HVAC change necessitated by a
renovation; or an effi ciency upgrade driven by a utility
marketing program.
The GT-S does not need to be located outside.
It can be placed in garages, carports, basements,
crawl spaces, etc. This may be important to some
homeowners who may be very concerned about
outdoor aesthetics. They also can utilize ground
water if placed in an appropriate indoor location.
Noise is not a problem as the GT-S is extremely
quiet (the box is sealed and insulated). The GT-S also
has excellent heating and latent cooling capacities
compared with competitive high effi ciency geothermal
units. In many cases a GT-S produces the heating

output of one size larger competitor unit. And the
GT-S is likely to be the highest EER per dollar cost
unit available in the geothermal industry today.
The goal for the
GT-S
Series is based upon
application fl exibility, effi ciency, reliability and a solid
state microprocessor compressor control, producing
a reliable, simple product both easy to service and
install. Its effi ciency and application fl exibility make it
the “Paradigm” of geothermal heat pumps.

The thermostat should be located on an interior wall in
a larger room, away from supply duct drafts. DO NOT
locate the thermostat in areas subject to sunlight, drafts
or on external walls. The wire access hole behind the
thermostat may in certain cases need to be sealed to
prevent erroneous temperature measurement. Position
the thermostat back plate against the wall so that it
appears level and so the thermostat wires protrude
through the middle of the back plate. Mark the position
of the back plate mounting holes and drill holes with a
3/16” (5mm) bit. Install supplied anchors and secure
plate to the wall. Thermostat wire must be 18 AWG wire.
Wire the appropriate thermostat as shown in Figures
28a through 28c to the low voltage terminal strip on
the CXM control board. Practically any heat pump
thermostat will work with these units, provided it has the
correct number of heating and cooling stages.

(part #97B0003N08).
Field Selectable Inputs
Test mode: Test mode allows the service technician to
check the operation of the control in a timely manner. By
momentarily shorting the test terminals, the CXM control
enters a 20 minute test mode period in which all time
delays are sped up 15 times. Upon entering test mode,
the status LED will fl ash a code representing the last
fault. For diagnostic ease at the thermostat, the alarm
relay will also cycle during test mode. The alarm relay
will cycle on and off similar to the status LED to indicate
a code representing the last fault, at the thermostat. Test
mode can be exited by shorting the test terminals for 3
seconds.
Retry Mode: If the control is attempting a retry of a fault,
the status LED will slow fl ash (slow fl ash = one fl ash
every 2 seconds) to indicate the control is in the process
of retrying.
Field Confi guration Options
Note: In the following fi eld confi guration options, jumper
wires should be clipped ONLY when power is removed
from the CXM control.
Water coil low temperature limit setting: Jumper 3 (JW3FP1 Low Temp) provides fi eld selection of temperature
limit setting for FP1 of 30°F or 10°F [-1°F or -12°C]
(refrigerant temperature).
Not Clipped = 30°F [-1°C]. Clipped = 10°F [-12°C].
Air coil low temperature limit setting: Jumper 2 (JW2FP2 Low Temp) provides fi eld selection of temperature
limit setting for FP2 of 30°F or 10°F [-1°F or -12°C]
(refrigerant temperature). Note: This jumper should
only be clipped under extenuating circumstances, as
recommended by the factory.
Not Clipped = 30°F [-1°C]. Clipped = 10°F [-12°C].
Alarm relay setting: Jumper 1 (JW1-AL2 Dry) provides
fi eld selection of the alarm relay terminal AL2 to
be jumpered to 24VAC or to be a dry contact (no
connection).
Not Clipped = AL2 connected to R. Clipped = AL2 dry
contact (no connection).
2, the compressor will have a 3 second delay before
energizing. Also, if set for stage 2, the alarm relay will
NOT cycle during test mode.
On = Stage 1. Off = Stage 2
DIP switch 3: Not Used.
DIP switch 4: DDC Output at EH2 - provides selection
for DDC operation. If set to “DDC Output at EH2,” the
EH2 terminal will continuously output the last fault code
of the controller. If set to “EH2 normal,” EH2 will operate
as standard electric heat output.
On = EH2 Normal. Off = DDC Output at EH2.
NOTE: Some CXM controls only have a 2 position DIP
switch package. If this is the case, this option can be
selected by clipping the jumper which is in position 4
of SW1.
Jumper not clipped = EH2 Normal. Jumper clipped =
DDC Output at EH2.
DIP switch 5: Factory Setting - Normal position is “On.”
Do not change selection unless instructed to do so by
the factory.

Note: In the following fi eld confi guration options, DIP
switches should only be changed when power is

The safety features below are provided to protect
the compressor, heat exchangers, wiring and other
components from damage caused by operation outside
of design conditions.
Anti-short cycle protection: The control features a 5
minute anti-short cycle protection for the compressor.
Note: The 5 minute anti-short cycle also occurs at power up.
Random start: The control features a random start upon
power up of 5-80 seconds.
Fault Retry: In Fault Retry mode, the Status LED begins
slowly fl ashing to signal that the control is trying to
recover from a fault input. The control will stage off the
outputs and then “try again” to satisfy the thermostat
input call. Once the thermostat input call is satisfi ed,
the control will continue on as if no fault occurred.
If 3 consecutive faults occur without satisfying the
thermostat input call, the control will go into “lockout”
mode. The last fault causing the lockout will be stored
in memory and can be viewed by going into test mode.
Note: FP1/FP2 faults are factory set at only one try.
Lockout: In lockout mode, the status LED will begin fast
fl ashing. The compressor relay is turned off immediately.
Lockout mode can be “soft” reset by turning off the
thermostat (or satisfying the call). A “soft” reset keeps
the fault in memory but resets the control. A “hard” reset
(disconnecting power to the control) resets the control
and erases fault memory.
Lockout with emergency heat: While in lockout mode, if W
becomes active (CXM), emergency heat mode will occur.
High pressure switch: When the high pressure switch
opens due to high refrigerant pressures, the compressor
relay is de-energized immediately since the high pressure
switch is in series with the compressor contactor coil. The
high pressure fault recognition is immediate (does not
delay for 30 continuous seconds before de-energizing the
compressor).
High pressure lockout code = 2
Example: 2 quick fl ashes, 10 sec pause, 2 quick fl ashes,
10 sec. pause, etc.
Low pressure switch: The low pressure switch must be open
and remain open for 30 continuous seconds during “on”
cycle to be recognized as a low pressure fault. If the low
pressure switch is open for 30 seconds prior to compressor
power up it will be considered a low pressure (loss of
charge) fault. The low pressure switch input is bypassed for
the initial 60 seconds of a compressor run cycle.
Low pressure lockout code = 3
Water coil low temperature (FP1): The FP1 thermistor
temperature must be below the selected low
temperature limit setting for 30 continuous seconds
during a compressor run cycle to be recognized as a
FP1 fault. The FP1 input is bypassed for the initial 60
seconds of a compressor run cycle. FP1 is set at the
factory for one try. Therefore, the control will go into
lockout mode once the FP1 fault has occurred.
FP1 lockout code = 4
Air coil low temperature (FP2): The FP2 thermistor
temperature must be below the selected low
temperature limit setting for 30 continuous seconds
during a compressor run cycle to be recognized as a
FP2 fault. The FP2 input is bypassed for the initial 60
seconds of a compressor run cycle. FP2 is set at the
factory for one try. Therefore, the control will go into
lockout mode once the FP2 fault has occurred.
FP2 lockout code = 5
Condensate overfl ow: The condensate overfl ow sensor
must sense overfl ow level for 30 continuous seconds to
be recognized as a CO fault. Condensate overfl ow will
be monitored at all times.
CO lockout code = 6
Over/under voltage shutdown: An over/under voltage
condition exists when the control voltage is outside the
range of 19VAC to 30VAC. Over/under voltage shut
down is a self-resetting safety. If the voltage comes back
within range for at least 0.5 seconds, normal operation is
restored. This is not considered a fault or lockout. If the
CXM is in over/under voltage shutdown for 15 minutes,
the alarm relay will close.
Over/under voltage shut down code = 7
Unit Performance Sentinel-UPS (patent pending): The
UPS feature indicates when the heat pump is operating
ineffi ciently. A UPS condition exists when:
a) In heating mode with compressor energized, FP2
is greater than 125°F [52°C] for 30 continuous
seconds, or:
b) In cooling mode with compressor energized, FP1
is greater than 125°F [52°C] for 30 continuous
seconds, or:
c) In cooling mode with compressor energized, FP2 is
less than 40°F [4.5°C] for 30 continuous seconds. If
a UPS condition occurs, the control will immediately
go to UPS warning. The status LED will remain on
as if the control is in normal mode. Outputs of the
control, excluding LED and alarm relay, will NOT be
affected by UPS. The UPS condition cannot occur
during a compressor off cycle. During UPS warning,
the alarm relay will cycle on and off. The cycle rate
will be “on” for 5 seconds, “off” for 25 seconds, “on”
for 5 seconds, “off” for 25 seconds, etc.
UPS warning code = 8
Swapped FP1/FP2 thermistors: During test mode, the
control monitors to see if the FP1 and FP2 thermistors
are in the appropriate places. If the control is in test
mode, the control will lockout, with code 9, after 30
seconds if:
a) The compressor is on in the cooling mode and the
FP1 sensor is colder than the FP2 sensor, or:
b) The compressor is on in the heating mode and the
The LED on the CXM board advises the technician of
the current status of the CXM control. The LED can
display either the current CXM mode or the last fault in
memory if in test mode. If there is no fault in memory,
the LED will fl ash Code 1 (when in test mode).
CXM Control Start-up Operation
The control will not operate until all inputs and safety
controls are checked for normal conditions. The
compressor will have a 5 minute anti-short cycle delay
at power-up. The fi rst time after power-up that there is a
call for compressor, the compressor will follow a 5 to 80
second random start delay. After the random start delay
and anti-short cycle delay, the compressor relay will
be energized. On all subsequent compressor calls, the
random start delay is omitted.

General
Proper indoor coil selection is critical to system
effi ciency. Using an older-model coil can affect
effi ciency and may not provide the customer with
rated or advertised EER and COP. Coil design and
technology have dramatically improved operating
effi ciency and capacity in the past 20 years.
Homeowners using an older coil are not reaping
these cost savings and comfort benefi ts. NEVER
MATCH AN R-22 INDOOR COIL WITH AN R-410A
COMPRESSOR SECTION.
Newer indoor coils have a larger surface area,
enhanced fi n design, and grooved tubing. These
features provide a larger area for heat transfer,
improving effi ciency and expanding capacity. Typical
older coils may only have one-third to one-half the face
area of these redesigned coils.
Indoor Coil Selection - GT-PX (50YDS) Puron®
Geothermal Split System
Geothermal split system heat pumps are rated in the
ARI directory with a specifi c indoor coil match. GT-
PX Puron split system (50YDS) models are rated with
Carrier/Bryant FV4 or FE4 series variable speed air
handlers as shown in Table 1a. Other combinations
(e.g. variable speed furnace with cased coil) may attain
the same ARI ratings providing that the specifi cations
meet or exceed those listed in Table 1a AND Table
1b. An ECM motor and TXV is required. Cap tubes
and fi xed orifi ces are not acceptable. PSC fans may
be used if matched to Table 1b, but will not meet ARI
ratings. If using PSC fan, compressor section must be
operated as a single stage unit (i.e. wired for either
1st stage or 2nd stage). Without the ability to vary the
airfl ow, supply air temperatures may not be acceptable if
the compressor is allowed to change stages when used
with a PSC fan motor.

* Nominal tons are at ARI/ISO 13256-1 GLHP conditions. Two-stage units may be operated in single-stage mode if desired,
where smaller capacity is required. For example, a model 026 may be used as a 1-1/2 ton unit if “locked” into 1st stage
operation only. If PSC fan is used, unit must be “locked” into either 1st or 2nd stage. An ECM fan is required for two-stage
operation and for ARI ratings. Size air handler for “Full Load” if operating in two-stage mode.
**When selecting an air handler based upon the above conditions, choose entering WB temperature of 67ºF. Use evaporator

model 003 capacity is 36 MBtuh, which is higher than
the minimum capacity required of 35,000 Btuh. In this
example, model 003 would be the appropriate match.
Selecting Air Handler
Figure 1: Selecting Air Handler
Equipment Selection
Utilizing the Existing Air Handler or Coil (R22 units only)
It is recommended that a new coil or air handler be
installed with any geothermal split system compressor
section due to the low initial cost of the additional
equipment versus the reliability and benefi t of new
technology, increased reliability and warranty. However, if
the existing air handler must be used (R22 systems only),
the following conditions apply:
