High quality features assure easy installation
— plus performance and energy savings
Solid-state components for precise
system control — Units contain a
solid-state control system that pro
vides maximum operating economy.
The “brain” of the system is a logic
panel that offers 2-stage heating and
cooling modes based on space re
quirements. Panel also is the logic net
work that coordinates operation of the
economizer, energy management and
two-speed indoor fan options.
Solid-state components require no
calibration, are easily replaced and
have long operating life.
Practical curb design for low in
stallation costs — The curb supports
unit on the roof. Eliminates special steel
support frames and assures a low roof
silhouette. Weatherproof enclosure
eliminates need for a rooftop adapter or
roof openings that could be sources
of troublesome leaks. All utilities enter
unit within the curb; saves time and
reduces installation costs. A wood nailstrip is also included.
Adaptable duct connections — The
Carrier design provides large duct
openings that permit low airflow veloci
ties and even air distribution. Bottom
supply and return ductwork is easily
installed. Concentric ductwork with
diffusers also may be connected to the
20-, 25-, and 30-ton units.. .with no
internal modifications.
For convenience, alternate side supply
and return openings are provided for
horizontal duct applications. Simply
relocate side supply and return panels,
place them in the bottom openings,
relocate one interior panel and the unit
is quickly converted for side duct con
nection. An accessory conversion kit
is required for units with economizer.
Factory-installed filter rack includes
2-in. filters.
115-volt convenience outlet — An
on-the-job power source for service
light or hand tools.
Pre-installed tracks for hydronic coil
application. Factory installed on units
without electric heat option.
Weather Armor cabinet stands up to
the weather. Cabinet design exceeds
UL and Carrier rain test requirements.
Units keep attractive appearance for
years — even in salt air or heavy in
dustrial environment.
Time Guard® circuit — Compressor
will not short cycle on a safety device or
power interruption. Starts outdoor air
fans 15 seconds before compressor to
minimize solar heat buildup and reduce
start-up load.
Single-location power connections
— Unit is factory wired with all heating
and cooling power circuits internally
routed to a terminal block in one com
partment. Some units, with higher heat/
cool ratios, have 2 terminal blocks. No
need to route expensive wiring to
separate heating and cooling power
locations. Saves time, money and labor.
Fixed-speed evaporator fan drive —
less vibration than variable-speed drive.
Extends belt life and minimizes drive
noise.
Manual damper, on standard units,
can be preset to admit as much as 25%
outdoor air for year-round ventilation.
Cfficurr
8REA:
LOGIC PANEL
Built-in convenience — Quick-release
access panels, slide-out filters and plug
in relays simplify routine inspection
and maintenance.
Carrier-built intertwined refrigerant
coils have staggered copper tubes with
mechanically bonded fins to ensure
optimum heat transfer. Intertwined
design provides cooling of the full air
stream with minimum compression.
Direct-drive condenser fans are
factory lubricated. Vertical discharge
moves air quietly and efficiently.
Carrier compressors have factoryinstalled service valves, crankcase
heaters, reversible oil pumps, mufflers,
overloads in the control box and
internal motor protection. Liquid line
sight glasses and filter driers are also
included.
Low-ambient temperature capa
bility permits all units to operate at out
door temperatures as low as 35 F.

Factory-installed options and

Modulating outdoor air control
package (economizer) — Even when
outdoor air temperatures are low, many
installations still require cooling. The
economizer uses the cool outside air to
provide this cooling. Saves energy,
reduces compressor wear and tear and
lowers operating costs.
The economizer contains these
energy saving features:
• Electronic control logic balances
the conditioned space demand against
the cooling system output. Ensures that
the economizer modulates to correct
position or closes to minimum position
to maintain a stable temperature in the
conditioned space. Never too much or
too little cooling.
The control logic also integrates
economizer cooling with mechanical
cooling. If outdoor enthalpy permits,
economizer acts as first stage of cooling.
If conditioned space requires more
cooling, economizer works in conjunc
tion with mechanical cooling to maintain
required indoor temperature.
The integrated system supplies only
the amount of mechanical cooling
necessary.
• Low-leakage dampers limit infiltra
tion. Rated by the manufacturer at 3%
with 3-in. wg pressure differential.
• Spring return damper motor auto
matically closes the outdoor air dampers
in the event of a power failure. (Option
or Accessory)
Two-speed indoor fan option —
Substantial energy cost savings can be
obtained because fans automatically
operate at low speed during most cool
ing operating hours. High speed is used
only if and when necessary to maintain
comfort conditions.
A 4-stage electronic logic panel
selects the most efficient fan speed and
compressor stage to satisfy room de
mand. Economizer performance is
optimized by utilizing low-speed opera
tion except when space conditions
require the additional capacity of high
speed “free cooling”.
The two-speed option is available in
either standard or alternate motor
sizes. All control and power wiring are
factory installed; thus, costly field wiring
and adjustments are not necessary.
The two-speed fan motors are 2
winding (4 pole/6 pole) with rpm’s of
1760/1170.
Power exhaust — Coupled with the
economizer, up to 75% of the return air
can be exhausted. Also, eliminates
over-pressurization of the building.
Designed for use with bottom duct
connection arrangements. Used only
with economizer. (Option or Accessory)
Electric heaters — Three factory-
installed and one field-installed heating
capacity are available. Factory wired for
2-stage heat. Outdoor air thermostats
can be added to provide additional
stages as required. Branch circuit pro
tection is built in on each unit. (Option
or Accessory)
Bag filter — Extended surface media
provides high filtration of 50% (NBS
Dust Spot Test). Filter frame permits
use of field-supplied bag filters to pro
most any
vide up to 95% filtering efficiency.
(Option only)
Alternate indoor fan motor and
drive provides increased perform
ance for application requirements
beyond standard unit operation range.
(Option only)
Energy management kit—Additional
energy savings occur thru the use of
the multi-feature energy management
kit which contains a setback/setup
module, a 7-day programmable clock
and morning warmup thermostat.
During unoccupied periods, the set
back/setup module provides a select
able amount of heating setback and
either cooling shutdown or a selectable
amount of cooling setup
The 7-day clock controls unit opera
tion in and out of the setback/setup
modes. Clock contains a 10-hour spring
carryover for continuous operation
during power failures. Re-programming
is not necessary.
A 5-hour bypass switch provides unit
operation during unoccupied modes.
The clock and bypass switch are con
tained in an attractive remote control
panel which installs in a convenient
location. Six status lights on the panel
indicate system operating modes.
The morning warmup thermostat
senses return air temperature and saves
energy by keeping the outdoor air
damper closed until morning warmup
is complete. Avoids using energy to
warm cold outside air. (Option or
Accessory)
REMOTE CONTROL PANEL
(Control Box)
SETBACK/SETUP MODULE
7-DAY CLOCK
Barometric relief damper operates
automatically to help exhaust excess
air during economizer operation. Ac
cessory comes partially assembled for
easy installation.
Roof curb supports unit and frames
roof opening. Provides a strong, water
tight interface between unit and roof.
Once curb is set in place, the unit may
be rigged at any time — no need to
schedule around the roofer. Design
complies with National Roofing
Contractors Association (NRCA)
requirements.
Outdoor air thermostat allows addi
tional staging of electric heat. Multiple
thermostats permit as many stages of
control as there are heaters in the unit.
Suction pressure unloader package
— Additional staging, beyond the stand
ard 2 stages of capacity control, can be
accomplished with field-installed suc
tion pressure actuated compressor
unloaders. (024 size is excluded, uses a
standard electric unloader.)
Motormaster® head pressure con
trol modulates the speed of outdoor air
fan motor to maintain correct con
densing temperature at low outdoor air
temperatures. Permits operation to
-20 F, if required.
Electronic temperature sensing —
Three electronic sensing/transmitting
devices are available to meet your
specific application requirements. Each
transmitting device contains dual
(heating/cooling) set point adjustment
levers concealed under a locking cover.
Light emitting diodes (LED’s), also con
cealed under the cover, allow diagnostic
checkout of control system from the
transmitting device. The choices are:
• Thermostat with integral sensor —
A traditional application. Both the
temperature set points and the sensing
device are contained in one device
installed in the conditioned space.
• Transmitter with remote sensor —
The transmitter contains the tempera
ture set points and LED’s under its
cover. In this application, a remote wall-
mounted sensor is installed in the con
ditioned space and the transmitter is
installed in a restricted-access area.
Eliminates unauthorized adjustment of
conditioned space temperature.
• Thermostat or transmitter on subbase
—provides manual COOL-AUTO.-
HEAT-OFF system switching and
AUTO.-ON fan switching from a con
venient location. Recommended for
units without energy management kit.
