2. Splice yellow and black power leads from control

box to yellow and red motor leads. (Yellow-to-
yellow and black-to-red.)

CONNECT CONTROL POWER WIRING (24-v)
— Power leads are brought thru 1 / 2-in. hole pro­

vided in unit, Fig. 1 and 2. Extend leads to control

wiring terminal board located on top of control box,

Fig. 7. Connect leads to terminal board as shown

in Fig. 6.

Use Carrier-specified room thermostat and sub­

base for proper unit operation. Be sure that field-
installed jumper wire is connected between subbase
terminals W and Y. Set thermostat heat anticipator
at 0.45 amp for 1-phase units and 0.50 amp for

3-phase units.

START-UP

Water Flow and Temperature Data

1. Consider design water flow rates for efficient

operation. See Table 4 for permissible water flow
range.

2. Ensure that water temperature entering unit is

between 60 F minimum and 90 F maximum. If
water temperature below 60 F must'be used,
insulate supply line and install a secondary drain
pan under the unit to remove condensate from

heat exchanger and internal plumbing.

CAUTION:

Water

temperature

outside

specified

temperature

range

may

cause

damage to unit. Do not jumper low tempera­

ture switch in order to use ethylene ^ycol

3. Ensure that supply water is clean and air is

purged from system. Air in supply water causes
scaling in heat exchanger. Foreign material in
water and/or excessive velocity of water can
cause damage to tubing.

To Start Unit — Ensure that air filter is in place on

unit filter flanges provided. Do not operate unit
without filter in place. Adjust the thermostat as
follows:

1. Set selector switch at OFF.

2. Turn on main disconnect switch to unit.

3. Set fan switch as desired (ON or AUTO.).

4. Set thermostat dial at desired temperature.

5. Set selector switch at HEAT or COOL.

Check system refrigerant charge. See SERVICE,

Refrigerant Charging on page 8.

Unit

Single-Phase

Compressors

that

are

equipped with a compressor start thermistor (PTC
device) — When supply voltage is within limits
indicated on nameplate and compressor will not

start, check the thermistor with an ohmmeter.

If the PTC is good, and the compressor does not

start, disconnect the PTC from the starting circuit

and give unit a temporary capacitance boost. Refer

to Carrier Standard Service Techniques Manual,
Chapter 2, for details on capacitance boost pro­
cedure. If unit does not start with capacitance boost,

compressor may be defective. If unit does not start,
check starting capability with PTC assistance. If
questionable, remove PTC, add start capaeitor and
start relay per start kit installation instructions.

W.A.RNING: Capacitance boost or installation
of start capacitor and start relay should be per­
formed by trained personnel., improper pro­
cedure could cause personal injury or equipment

damage.

Unit Controls and Safety Devices

HIGH-PRESSURE

RELIEF

VALVES

(except

50HQ,VQ014) is located in compressor. Relief valve

opens at a pressure differential of approximately

550 psi between suction (low side) and discharge

(high side) to allow pressure equalization.

CURRENT AND TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE

OVERLOAD (linebreak) internal on all compres­

sors except on 50HQ,VQ014 which has external

shell mounted overload. Overload resets auto­
matically when internal compressor motor tempera­

ture drops to a safe level (overloads may require up

to 45 minutes to reset). When an internal overload is
suspeeted of being open, check by using an ohm-
