NOTES:
1. If there is no fault in memory, the Fault LED will flash code 1.
2. Codes will be displayed with a 10-second Fault LED pause.
3. Slow flash is 1 flash every 2 seconds.
4. Fast flash is 2 flashes every 1 second.
5. EXAMPLE: “Flashing Code 2” is represented by 2 fast flashes followed
by a 10-second pause. This sequence will repeat continually until the
fault is cleared.
SERVICE
Perform the procedures outlined below periodically, as
indicated.
Water Coil —
Keep all air out of the water coil. Check
open loop systems to be sure the well head is not allowing air
to infiltrate the water line. Always keep lines airtight.
Inspect heat exchangers regularly, and clean more frequent-
ly if the unit is located in a “dirty” environment. The heat
exchanger should be kept full of water at all times. Open loop
systems should have an inverted P trap placed in the discharge
line to keep water in the heat exchanger during off cycles.
Closed loop systems must have a minimum of 103 kPa during
the summer and 276 kPa during the winter.
Check P trap frequently for proper operation.
Refrigerant System —
Verify air and water flow rates
are at proper levels before servicing. To maintain sealed circuit-
ry integrity, do not install service gages unless unit operation
appears abnormal.
Condenser Cleaning —
Water-cooled condensers may
require cleaning of scale (water deposits) due to improperly
maintained closed-loop water systems. Sludge build-up may
need to be cleaned in an open water tower system due to
induced contaminants.
Local water conditions may cause excessive fouling or
pitting of tubes. Condenser tubes should therefore be cleaned at
least once a year, or more often if the water is contaminated.
Proper water treatment can minimize tube fouling and
pitting. If such conditions are anticipated, water treatment
analysis is recommended. Refer to the Carrier System Design
Manual, Part 5, for general water conditioning information.
Clean condensers with an inhibited hydrochloric acid solu-
tion. The acid can stain hands and clothing, damage concrete,
and, without inhibitor, damage steel. Cover surroundings to
guard against splashing. Vapors from vent pipe are not harmful,

IMPORTANT: When a compressor is removed from this
unit, system refrigerant circuit oil will remain in the com-
pressor. To avoid leakage of compressor oil, the refrigerant
lines of the compressor must be sealed after it is removed.
IMPORTANT: To avoid the release of refrigerant into the
atmosphere, the refrigerant circuit of this unit must only be
serviced by technicians which meet local, state and federal
proficiency requirements.
IMPORTANT: All refrigerant discharged from this unit
must be recovered without exception. Technicians must fol-
low industry accepted guidelines and all local, state and fed-
eral statutes for the recovery and disposal of refrigerants.
WARNING
To prevent injury or death due to electrical shock or contact
with moving parts, open unit disconnect switch before ser-
vicing unit.
CAUTION
To avoid fouled machinery and extensive unit clean-up,
DO NOT operate units without filters in place. DO NOT
use equipment as a temporary heat source during
construction.
CAUTION
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and rubber
gloves when using inhibited hydrochloric acid solution.
Observe and follow acid manufacturer’s instructions.
