Field Control Wiring
STANDARD UNIT (WITHOUT ENERGY MANAGE
MENT ACCESSORY) — Install a Carrier-approved
accessory electronic thermostat on a subbase (or a trans
mitter on subbase if remote sensor is used) per installation 
instructions included with the accessory. Note that the 
subbase must be used on constant volume units without 
night setback. Locate thermostat, or remote sensor, if 
used, in the conditioned space where it will sense average 
temperature.
Route thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of
no 18 AWG colored wire from subbase terminals
through connector on unit to low-voltage connections in 
main control box as shown on unit wiring diagram and 
in Fig. 10.
UNITS WITH ENERGY MANAGEMENT ACCES
SORY — In addition to the standard control box, units 
with energy management accessory are also equipped 
with a remote box and a night setback box. The remote
box contains a 7-day time clock, a bypass switch that can
manually bypass the time clock for up to 5 hours, 6 indi
cator lights and 2 terminal blocks for field wiring con
nections. Mount this box remote from the unit in an
indoor or weathertight space. The night setback box 
contains a terminal block for field wiring conneetions, a 
morning warm-up thermostat and the setback/setup 
module. The night setback box remains in the unit. Ship
ping locations of remote box and permanent location 
of night setback box are shown in Fig. 12.
1. Remove remote box and mount in a restricted access
area (indoors or in a weathertight space).
2. Run separate 115-volt, 60-Hz (230-volt, 50-Hz) power
to the remote box per Fig. 11. Use no. 14 AWG wire 
or larger and a proper field-supplied electrical 
connector.
3. Install a Carrier-approved accessory electronic
thermostat or transmitter if remote sensor is used 
(subbase not required) according to the installation 
instructions included with the accessory. Note that 
the subbase is not used on units with the energy 
management accessory. Locate the thermostat or 
rernote sensor, if used, in the conditioned space where 
it will sense average temperature.
Route thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of
no. 18 AWG colored wire from thermostat or trans
mitter terminals through connector on unit to low- 
voltage (TB4) connections in main control box as 
shown on unit label wiring diagram and in Fig. 11.
4. Run 24-volt wires between the remote box and night
setback box per Fig. 11. Use no 18 AWG wire for 
lengths up to 1000 feet. Local codes may dictate use 
of conduit for low voltage. Knockouts are provided in
the night setback box and in the fan deck separating
heating section from section containing the night
setback box (Fig. 12). A watertight connector is in
stalled in side of unit. Two rubber grommets are taped 
inside the night setback box. Use grommets in knock
outs in fan deck and night setback box.

Return Air Filters — Check that return air filters are
of the correct type and size and installed in unit filter 
racks. Filter data is shown in Table 1 Do not operate 
unit without return air filters
Outdoor Air Inlet Screens — Outdoor air inlet
screens must be in place before operating unit.
Compressor(s) — Loosen compressor holddown
bolts until sidewise movement of the washer under each 
holddown bolt head occurs Do not loosen completely 
as bolts are self-locking and will maintain their 
adjustment.
Open the compressor discharge and suction service
valves. Replace and tighten valve caps to prevent leaks.
Liquid Line Service Valve — Open the liquid line
service valve Replace and tighten valve cap to prevent
leaks.
Low Ambient Compressor Lockout(Fig. 13) —
All units are equipped with an adjustable low ambient 
lockout thermostat to lock off the compressor(s) at low 
outdoor air ambients. Thermostat is located in the main 
control box. Setting will depend on specific installation 
but should be approximately 55 F on constant volume 
units.
Convenience Outlet — All units are equipped with
a 115-volt convenience outlet for handling small power
load or service light. See Fig. 13.
