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, ope rate, adju st, re pair , or di smant le any equi pment should be made until the manufacturer’s i nstructions are read and thoroughly understood by the
service technician. Even equipment that seems familiar may have specific model diffe rences from year to
year. Always review manufacturer’s instructions.
Model 52C,P packaged terminal air conditioner
(PTAC) and heat pump units are self-contained for
installation through the wall for individual room heating and cooling. The Model 52C,P polymer and metal
sleeves are permanently fastened to the wall; the unit
chassis slides out of the sleeve to allow the service
technician easy access. Many accessories are offered
to complement the unit’s performance and comfort
control.
Before beginning any service procedu res, it is important to check the unit model number. See Figure 1 and
2. Units that seem similar may have subtle differences
that could affect service procedures. The following
units are covered in this manual:
52CE — 60 Hz cooling with electric heat units
52CQ — 60 Hz cooling with electric heat and heat
52PE — 60 Hz cooling with electric heat units
52PQ — 60 Hz cooling with electric heat and heat
52PC — 60 Hz cooling only units
Knowing which model is being serviced will help deter-
mine if the unit is performing at optimum levels. The
model number is located on the data informatio n plate
beneath the front panel of the unit. See Figure 1. The
data information plate also lis ts voltage ranges and
other important electric al information about the unit.
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.
pump units
pump units
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.

This section includes common procedures for disassembly and re-assembly of u nit.
IMPORTANT: Follow manufacturer’s instructions when disassembling and re-assembling a
unit for cleaning, maintenance, or part replacement. When disassembling wiring, it is strongly
recommended that numbered stickers be
attached to identify leads and terminals to aid in
the re-assembly process. Always review safety
procedures prior to the start of a job.
Prior to servicing electrical equipment, disconnect all power to avoid electric shock! Tag all disconnects. Never alter cord or plug and do not use
extension cords.

CLEANING AND SAFETY
Before starting to clean a unit, read the instructions
thoroughly and gather the necessary tools for the job.
Review all safety information on unit and in literature.
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 ma nual
for proper procedures to disconnect power to 52C,P
units.
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 safety
glasses and work gloves, should be used.
• The floor around the work area shoul d be clea n and
free of debris.
• The 52C,P unit weighs up to 150 pounds. Use a lifting device or ask for assistance if the unit must be
moved.
• Make sure tools are the correct tools for the job, and
that they are working properly and in good condition.

should be cleaned once per month. F ilt ers 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.
CLEANING THE INDOOR AIR FILTER
■
filters are located in the unit’s front panel. To remove
each filter simply grasp each filter handle with both
hands and gently pull the filter up and away from the
unit. See Figure 21.

■
—
Remove the indoor air filter as detailed in Cleaning
the Indoor Air Filter. If damaged, use a filter replacement with the Carrier Part No. AIR-FILTER-10PK,
available through Carrier Finished Goods and Carrier
Replacement Component Division.
NOTE: Both filters are completely interchangeable.
CLEANING THE OUTDOOR AIR VENT FILTER
■
1. Remove the unit chassis from wall sleeve as
described in the General Disassembly section of
this manual. Refer to Remove the Unit from the Wall Sleeve section.
2. Swing open vent door. The filter is located directly
behind the vent door. See Figure 22.
3. Once the filter is accessed, 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. Allow the filter to air
dry.
REPLACING THE OUTDOOR AIR VENT FIL TER —
■
If vent filter requires replacement:
1. Open vent door to access vent filter.
2. Remove vent door from hinges.
3. Using needle nose pliers, remove vent cable from
vent door.
4. Using a small flat head screwdriver, pry the filter
from the partition.
5. Replace vent filter using Carrier Part No.
52CQ500144.
6. Reverse Steps 1-4 to re attach vent door and cable.
■
CHASSIS
Occasional cleaning of the e xterior surfaces of the
PTAC unit optimizes the unit’s appearance and
removes particles that may enter the air system. See
Figure 23. Mild detergents clean and reduce electrostatic charges on the plastic components of the PTAC
unit.
Use a clean cloth or brush to gently wipe exterior s urfaces. Be careful not to push dirt or other fibers into
the unit’s interior components. Accessible wall sleeve
surfaces should also be wiped clean.

The indoor and outdoor coils should be cleaned at least
once during every season. Refer to ACCESSING UNIT COMPONENTS section to prepare unit.
CLEANING THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR
■
COILS
Coil fins are sharp and may cut hands. Wear heavy
protective gloves when cleaning coils.
Use only cleaning solutions that meet local codes.
1. Use a vacuum cleaner or soft bristle brush to
remove surface fibers and dirt from the interior
surface of evaporator coil and both surfaces of condenser coil. See Figure 24. 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 25. Refer to instructions on the cleaning solution containers for best results.
use a high-pressure sprayer.
3. Rinse the coils thoroughly with low-velocity, clean
warm water (less than 200 F).
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each coil surface.
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.
Do not
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 cl ean the b asepan a nd drain p assages
by rinsing with clean water. Be sure all debris is
removed from the drain valve. See Figure 26.
7. Thoroughly cle an outdoor fan assembly and all
other mechanical components located in outdoor
coil area. Be sure to remove all dirt and debris.
8. Clean wall sleeve.

a. Reach behind the indoor coil and vacuum any
loose debris from the condensat e drai n pan, fan
and other areas accessible to the fan scroll,
being careful to avoid damage to the coil fins.
b. Use mild detergent and a damp cl oth to remov e
stubborn debris from surfaces around scroll and
fan blades.
