INSTALLATION
Jobsite Survey
Complete the following checks before installation.
- Consult local building codes and the NEC (National Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70 for special installation requirements.
- Determine unit location (from project plans) or select unit location.
- Check for possible overhead obstructions which may interfere with unit lifting or rigging.
Step 1 — Plan for Unit Location
Select a location for the unit and its support system (curb or other) that
provides for the minimum clearances required for safety. This includes the
clearance to combustible surfaces, unit performance and service access below,
around and above unit as specified in unit drawings. See Fig. 2.
NOTE: Consider also the effect of adjacent units.
Unit may be installed directly on wood flooring or on Class A, B, or C
roof–covering material when roof curb is used.
Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate air inlets near
exhaust vents or other sources of contaminated air.
Although unit is weatherproof, avoid locations that permit water from higher
level runoff and overhangs to fall onto the unit.
Select a unit mounting system that provides adequate height to allow for
removal and disposal of frost and ice that will form durring the
heating–defrost mode as well as allow installation of condensate trap per
requirements. RefertoStep9—InstallExternalCondensate Trap and Line – for
required trap dimensions.
Roof mount —
Check building codes for weight distribution requirements. Unit operating
weight is shown in Table 1.
Step 2 — Plan for Sequence of Unit Installation
The support method used for this unit will dictate different sequences for the
steps of unit installation. For example, on curb–mounted units, some
accessories must be installed on the unit before the unit is placed on the
curb. Review the following for recommended sequences for installation steps.
Curb–mounted installation —
Install curb
Install field–fabricated ductwork inside curb
Install accessory thru–base service connection package (affects curb and unit)
(refer to accessory installation instructions for details)
Prepare bottom condensate drain connection to suit planned condensate line
routing (refer to Step 9 for details)
Rig and place unit
Install outdoor air hood
Install condensate line trap and piping
Make electrical connections
Install other accessories
Pad–mounted installation —
Prepare pad and unit supports
Check and tighten the bottom condensate drain connection plug
Rig and place unit
Convert unit to side duct connection arrangement
Install field–fabricated ductwork at unit duct openings
Install outdoor air hood
Install condensate line trap and piping
Make electrical connections
Install other accessories
Frame–mounted installation —
Frame–mounted applications generally follow the sequence for a curb
installation. Adapt as required to suit specific installation plan.
Step 3 — Inspect unit
Inspect unit for transportation damage. File any claim with transportation
agency.
Confirm before installation of unit that voltage, amperage and circuit
protection requirements listed on unit data plate agree with power supply
provided.
Step 4 — Provide Unit Support
Roof Curb Mount —
Accessory roof curb details and dimensions are shown in Fig. 3. Assemble and
install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped with the
curb.
NOTE: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is critical for a
watertight seal. Install gasket supplied with the roof curb as shown in Fig.
3. Improperly applied gasket can also result in air leaks and poor unit
performance.
Curb should be level. This is necessary for unit drain to function properly.
Unit leveling tolerances are show in Fig. 4. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb
Installation Instructions for additional information as required. Install
insulation, cant strips, roofing felt, and counter flashing as shown. Ductwork
must be attached to curb and not to the unit. The accessory thru–the–base
power package must be installed before the unit is set on the roof curb. If
electric and control wiring is to be routed through the basepan, attach the
accessory thru–the–base service connections to the basepan in accordance with
the accessory installation instructions.
Slab Mount (Horizontal Units Only) —
Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of 6 in. (150 mm) beyond
unit cabinet. Install a gravel apron in front of condenser coil air inlet to
prevent grass and foliage from obstructing airflow.
NOTE: Horizontal units may be installed on a roof curb if required.
Alternate Unit Support (In Lieu of Curb or Slab Mount) —
A non–combustible sleeper rail can be used in the unit curb support area. If
sleeper rails cannot be used, support the long sides of the unit with a
minimum of 3 equally spaced 4–in. x 4–in. (102 mm x 102 mm) pads on each side.

Step 5 — Field Fabricate Ductwork
Cabinet return-air static pressure (a negative condition) shall not exceed
0.35 in. wg (87 Pa) with economizer or 0.45 in. wg (112 Pa) without
economizer.
For vertical ducted applications, secure all ducts to roof curb and building
structure. Do not connect ductwork to unit.
Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints, and roof openings
with counter flashing and mastic in accordance with applicable codes.
Ducts passing through unconditioned spaces must be insulated and covered with
a vapor barrier.
If a plenum return is used on a vertical unit, the return should be ducted
through the roof deck to comply with applicable fire codes.
For units with accessory electric heaters: Horizontal applications require a
minimum clearance to combustible surfaces of 1–in (25 mm) from duct for first
12–in (305 mm) away from unit. Vertical applications do not require a minimum
clearance.
Minimum clearance is not required around ductwork.
Step 6 — Rig and Place Unit

unit center of gravity. Use wooden top to prevent rigging straps from damaging unit.
Fig. 5 — Rigging Details
PositioningonCurb—
Position unit on roof curb so that the following clearances are maintained:
1/4 in. (6.4 mm) clearance between the roof curb and the base rail inside the
front and rear, 0.0 in. clearance between the roof curb and the base rail
inside on the duct end of the unit. This will result in the distance between
the roof curb and the base rail inside on the condenser end of the unit being
approximately equal to Fig. 3, section C–C.
Although unit is weatherproof, guard against water from higher level runoff
and overhangs.
After unit is in position, remove the compressor access panel. Holding the
blocking between compressors with one hand, cut the strapping. Carefully
remove the blocking without damaging tubing, wiring, or controls.
Remove the strapping and replace the access panel.
Remove all shipping materials and top skid. Recycle or dispose of all shipping
materials.
Step 7 — Convert to Horizontal and Connect Ductwork (when required)
Unit is shipped in the vertical duct configuration. Unit without
factory–installed economizer or return air smoke detector option may be
field–converted to horizontal ducted configuration. To convert to horizontal
configuration, remove screws from side duct opening covers and remove covers.
Using the same screws, install covers on vertical duct openings with the
insulation–side down. Seals around duct openings must be tight. See Fig. 6.
Field–supplied flanges should be attached to horizontal duct openings and all
ductwork should be secured to the flanges. Insulate and weatherproof all
external ductwork, joints, and roof or building openings with counter flashing
and mastic in accordance with applicable codes.
Do not cover or obscure visibility to the unit’s informative data plate when
insulating horizontal ductwork.
Step 8 — Install Outside Air Hood
Economizer Hood Removal and Setup — Factory Option
- The hood is shipped in knock–down form and located in the return air compartment. It is attached to the economizer using two plastic tie–wraps.
- To gain access to the hood, remove the filter access panel. (See Fig. 7.)
- Locate and cut the (2) plastic tie–wraps, being careful to not damage any wiring. (See Fig. 8.)
- Carefully lift the hood assembly through the filter access opening and assemble per the steps outlined in Economizer Hood and Two–Position Hood on page 10.
Two Position Damper Hood Removal and Setup -Factory Option
- The hood is shipped in knock–down form and assembled to a metal support tray using plastic stretch wrap. Located in the return air compartment, the assembly’s metal tray is attached to the basepan and also attached to the damper using two plastic tie–wraps.
- To gain access to the hood, remove the filter access panel. (See Fig. 7.)
- Locate the (2) screws holding the metal tray to the basepan and remove. Locate and cut the (2) plastic tie–wraps securing the assembly to the damper. (See Fig. 9.) Be careful to not damage any wiring or cut tie–wraps securing any wiring.
- Carefully lift the hood assembly (with metal tray) through the filter access opening and assemble per the steps outlined in Economizer Hood and
Two–Position Hood on page 10.
Economizer Hood and Two–Position Hood —
NOTE : If the power exhaust accessory is to be installed on the unit, the
hood shipped with the unit will not be used and must be discarded. Save the
aluminum filter for use in the power exhaust hood assembly.
-
The indoor coil access panel will be used as the top of the hood. Remove the screws along the sides and bottom of the indoor coil access panel. See Fig. 10.
-
Swing out indoor coil access panel and insert the hood sides under the panel (hood top). Use the screws provided to attach the hood sides to the hood top. Use screws provided to attach the hood sides to the unit. See Fig. 11.
-
Remove the shipping tape holding the economizer barometric relief damper in place.
-
Insert the hood divider between the hood sides. See Fig. 11 and 12. Secure hood divider with 2 screws on each hood side. The hood divider is also used as the bottom filter rack for the aluminum filter.
-
Open the filter clips which are located underneath the hood top. Insert the aluminum filter into the bottom filter rack (hood divider). Push the filter into position past the open filter clips. Close the filter clips to lock the filter into place. See Fig. 12.
-
Caulk the ends of the joint between the unit top panel and the hood top.
-
Replace the filter access panel.
Step 9 — Install External Condensate Trap and Line
The unit has one 3/4-in. condensate drain connection on the end of the
condensate pan and an alternate connection on the bottom. See Fig. 13. Unit
airflow configuration does not determine which drain connection to use. Either
drain connection can be used with vertical or horizontal applications.
When using the standard side drain connection, ensure the red plug in the
alternate bottom connection is tight. Do this before setting the unit in
place. The red drain pan can be tightened with a 1/2–in. square socket drive
extension.
To use the alternate bottom drain connection, remove the red drain plug from
the bottom connection (use a 1 /2– i n . square socket drive extension) and
install it in the side drain connection.
The piping for the condensate drain and external trap can be completed after the unit is in place. See Fig. 14.
All units must have an external trap for condensate drainage. Install a trap
at least 4-in. (102 mm) deep and protect against freeze-up. If drain line is
installed downstream from the external trap, pitch the line away from the unit
at 1-in. per 10 ft (25 mm in 3 m) of run. Do not use a pipe size smaller than
the unit connection ( 3/4-in.).
Step 10 — Make Electrical Connections
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Do not use gas piping as an electrical ground. Unit cabinet must have an
uninterrupted, unbroken electrical ground to minimize the possibility of
personal injury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground may consist
of electrical wire connected to unit ground lug in control compartment, or
conduit approved for electrical ground when installed in accordance with NEC
(National Electrical Code); ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition (in Canada, Canadian
Electrical Code CSA [Canadian Standards Association] C22.1), and local
electrical codes.
NOTE: Check all factory and field electrical connections for tightness.
Field–supplied wiring shall conform with the limitations of 63°F (33°C) rise.
Field Power Supply —
If equipped with optional Powered Convenience Outlet:
The power source leads to the convenience outlet’s transformer primary are not
factory connected. Installer must connect these leads according to required
operation of the convenience outlet. If an always–energized convenience outlet
operation is desired, connect the source leads to the line side of the
unit–mounted disconnect. (Check with local codes to ensure this method is
acceptable in your area.) If a de–energize via unit disconnect switch
operation of the convenience outlet is desired, connect the source leads to
the load side of the unit disconnect. On a unit without a unit–mounted
disconnect, connect the source leads to compressor contactor C and indoor fan
contactor IFC pressure lugs with unit field power leads.
All units except 208/230-v units are factory wired for the voltage shown on
the nameplate. If the 208/230-v unit is to be connected to a 208-v power
supply, the control transformer must be rewired by moving the black wire with
the 1/4-in. female spade connector from the 230–v connection and moving it to
the 208-v 1/4-in. male terminal on the primary side of the transformer. Refer
to unit label diagram for additional information. Field power wires will be
connected line–side pressure lugs on the power terminal block or at
factory–installed option non–fused disconnect.
Field power wires are connected to the unit at line–side pressure lugs on
compressor contactor C and indoor fan contactor IFC or terminal board (see
wiring diagram label for control box component arrangement) or at
factory–installed option non–fused disconnect switch. Max wire size is #2 AWG
(copper only). (See Fig. 16)
NOTE: TEST LEADS — Unit may be equipped with short leads (pigtails) on
the field line connection points on contactor C or optional disconnect switch.
These leads are for factory run–test purposes only; remove and discard before
connecting field power wires to unit connection points. Make field power
connections directly to line connection pressure lugs only.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in intermittent operation or
performance satisfaction.
Do not connect aluminum wire between disconnect switch and furnace. Use only
copper wire. (See Fig. 15.)
Units Without Factory–Installed Disconnect —
When installing units, provide a disconnect switch per NEC (National
Electrical Code) of adequate size.
Disconnect sizing data is provided on the unit informative plate. Locate on
unit cabinet or within sight of the unit per national or local codes. Do not
cover unit informative plate if mounting the disconnect on the unit cabinet.
Units with Factory–Installed Disconnect —
The factory–installed option disconnect switch is located in a weatherproof
enclosure located under the main control box. The manual switch handle is
accessible through an opening in the access panel. Discard the factory test
leads (see Fig. 16).
All units -All
field wiring must comply with NEC and all local codes. Size wire based on MCA
(Minimum Circuit Amps) on the unit informative plate. See Fig. 16 and the unit
label diagram for power wiring connections to the unit power terminal blocks
and equipment ground. Maximum wire size is #2 ga AWG per pole.
Provide a ground–fault and short–circuit over–current protection device (fuse
or breaker) per NEC Article 440 (or local codes). Refer to unit informative
data plate for MOCP (Maximum Over–current Protection) device size.
All field wiring must comply with the NEC and local requirements.
Convenience Outlets —
WARNING
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Units with convenience outlet circuits may use multiple disconnects. Check
convenience outlet for power status before opening unit for service. Locate
its disconnect switch, if appropriate, and open it. Tag–out this switch, if
necessary.
Two types of convenience outlets are offered on 50TCQA models: Non–powered and
unit–powered. Both types provide a 125–volt GFCI (ground–fault
circuit–interrupter) duplex receptacle rated at 15–A behind a hinged
waterproof access cover, located on the end panel of the unit. See Fig. 17.
Installing Weatherproof Cover –
A weatherproof while-in-use cover for the factory-installed convenience
outlets is now required by UL standards. This cover cannot be factory-mounted
due its depth; it must be installed at unit installation. For shipment, the
convenience outlet is covered with a blank cover plate.
The weatherproof cover kit is shipped in the unit’s control box. The kit
includes the hinged cover, a backing plate and gasket.
DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO UNIT AND CONVENIENCE OUTLET.
Remove the blank cover plate at the convenience outlet; discard the blank
cover. Loosen the two screws at the GFCI duplex outlet, until approximately
1/2-in (13 mm) under screw heads are exposed. Press the gasket over the screw
heads. Slip the backing plate over the screw heads at the keyhole slots and
align with the gasket; tighten the two screws until snug (do not over-
tighten).
Mount the weatherproof cover to the backing plate as shown in Fig. 18. Remove
two slot fillers in the bottom of the cover to permit service tool cords to
exit the cover. Check for full closing and latching.
Non–powered type: This type requires the field installation of a
general–purpose 125–volt 15–A circuit powered from a source elsewhere in the
building. Observe national and local codes when selecting wire size, fuse or
breaker requirements and disconnect switch size and location. Route 125–v
power supply conductors into the bottom of the utility box containing the
duplex receptacle.
Unit–powered type: A unit–mounted transformer is factory–installed to
stepdown the main power supply voltage to the unit to 115–v at the duplex
receptacle. This option also includes a manual switch with fuse, located in a
utility box and mounted on a bracket behind the convenience outlet; access is
through the unit’s control box access panel. See Fig. 17.
The primary leads to the convenience outlet transformer are not
factory–connected. Selection of primary power source is a customer–option. If
local codes permit, the transformer primary leads can be connected at the
line–side terminals on the unit–mounted non–fused disconnect or HACR breaker
switch; this will provide service power to the unit when the unit disconnect
switch or HACR switch is open. Other connection methods will result in the
convenience outlet circuit being de–energized when the unit disconnect or HACR
switch is open. See Fig. 19.
Duty Cycle: the unit–powered convenience outlet has a duty cycle limitation.
The transformer is intended to provide power on an intermittent basis for
service tools, lamps, etc; it is not intended to provide 15–amps loading for
continuous duty loads (such as electric heaters for overnight use). Observe a
50% limit on circuit loading above 8–amps (i.e., limit loads exceeding 8–amps
to 30 minutes of operation every hour).
Test the GFCI receptacle by pressing the TEST button on the face of the
receptacle to trip and open the receptacle. Check for proper grounding wires
and power line phasingif the GFCI receptacle does not trip as required. Press
the RESET button to clear the tripped condition.
Using unit–mounted convenience outlets: Units with unit–mounded convenience
outlet circuits will often require that two disconnects be opened to
de–energize all power to the unit. Treat all units as electrically energized
until the convenience outlet power is also checked and de–energization is
confirmed. Observe National Electrical Code Article 210, Branch Circuits, for
use of convenience outlets.
Fuse on power type: The factory fuse is a Bussman “Fusetron” T–15,
non–renewable screw–in (Edison base) type plug fuse.
Factory–Option Thru–Base Connections —
This service connection kit consists of a 1/2–in electrical bulkhead connector
and a 3/4–in electrical bulkhead connector, all factory–installed in the
embossed (raised) section of the unit basepan in the condenser section. The
1/2–in bulkhead connector enables the low–voltage control wires to pass
through the basepan. The 3/4–in electrical bulkhead connector allows the
high–voltage power wires to pass through the basepan. See Fig. 20.
Check tightness of connector lock nuts before connecting electrical conduits.
Field–supplied and field–installed liquidtight conduit connectors and conduit may be attached to the connectors on the basepan. Pull correctly rated high voltage and low voltage through appropriate conduits. Connect the power conduit to the internal disconnect (if unit is so equipped) or to the external disconnect (through unit side panel). A hole must be field cut in the main control box bottom on the left side so the 24–v control connections can be made. Connect the control power conduit to the unit control box at this hole.
Units without Thru–Base Connections —
-
Install power wiring conduit through side panel openings.
Install conduit between disconnect and control box. -
Install power lines to terminal connections as shown in Fig. 16.
All Units —
Voltage to compressor terminals during operation must be within voltage range
indicated on unit nameplate. See Table 10. On 3–phase units, voltages between
phases musbe balanced within 2% and the current within 10%. Use the formula
shown in the legend for Table 10, Note 2 (see page 44) to determine the
percent of voltage imbalanceOperation on improper line voltage or excessive
phase imbalance constitutes abuse and may cause damage to electrical
components. Such operation would invalidate any applicable Carrier warranty.
Field Control Wiring —
The 50TCQA unit requires an external temperature control device. This device
can be a thermostat (field–supplied) or a PremierLink controller (available as
factory–installed option or as field–installed accessory, for use on a Carrier
Comfort Network or as a stand alone control) or the RTU–MP Controller for
Building Management Systems using non–CCN protocols (RTU–MP is available as a
factory–installed option only).
Thermostat —
Install a Carrier–approved accessory 2 stage Cooling/Heating thermostat
according to installation instructions included with the accessory. The 50TCQ
models do not require a thermostat with an O function to control the reversing
valve operation. If using an electronic thermostat, configure it for “non–heat
pump” operation. Locate the thermostat accessory on a solid wall in the
conditioned space to sense average temperature in accordance with the
thermostat installation instructions.
If the thermostat contains a logic circuit requiring 24–v power, use a
thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of different colors with minimum
of seven leads. If the thermostat does not require a 24–v source (no “C”
connection required), use a thermostat cable or equivalent with minimum of six
leads. Check the thermostat installation instructions for additional features
which might require additional conductors in the cable.
For wire runs up to 50 ft. (15 m), use no. 18 AWG (American Wire Gage)
insulated wire (35_C minimum). For50to75ft.(15to23m),useno.16AWGinsulated wire
(35°C minimum). For over 75 ft. (23 m), use no. 14 AWG insulated wire (35°C
minimum). All wire sizes larger than no. 18 AWG cannot be directly connected
to the thermostat and will require a junction box and splice at the
thermostat.
Note 1: Typical multi-function marking. Follow manufacturer’s
configuration instructions to select Y2. Do not configure for O output.
Note 2 : W2 connection not required on units without electric heating.
Field Wiring C09012
Fig. 21 — Typical Low–Voltage Control Connections
Unit without thru–base connection kit —
Pass the thermostat control wires through the hole provided in the corner
post; then feed the wires through the raceway built into the corner post to
the control box. Pull the wires over to the terminal strip on the upper–left
corner of the Central Terminal Board (CTB). See Fig. 22.
NOTE: If thru–the–bottom connections accessory is used, refer to the
accessory installation instructions for information on routing power and
control wiring.
Heat Anticipator Settings —
Set heat anticipator settings at 0.14 amp for the first stage and 0.14 amp for
second–stage heating, when available.
Electric Heaters
50TCQ units may be equipped with field–installed accessory electric heaters.
The heaters are modular in design, with heater frames holding open coil
resistance wires strung through ceramic insulators, line–break limit switches
and a control contactor. One or two heater modules may be used in a unit.
Heater modules are installed in the compartment below the indoor (supply) fan
outlet. Access is through the indoor access panel. Heater modules slide into
the compartment on tracks along the bottom of the heater opening. See Fig. 23,
Fig. 24 and Fig. 25.
Not all available heater modules may be used in every unit. Use only those
heater modules that are UL listed for use in a specific size unit. Refer to
the label on the unit cabinet for the list of approved heaters.
Unit heaters are marked with Heater Model Numbers. But heaters are ordered as
and shipped in cartons marked with a corresponding heater Sales Package part
number. See Table 2 for correlation between heater Model Number and Sales
Package part number.
NOTE: The value in position 9 of the part number differs between the
sales package part number (value is 1 or 3) and a bare heater model number
(value is 0).
Table 2 – Heater Model Number
Single Point Boxes and Supplementary Fuses — When the unit MOCP device value exceeds 60–A, unit–mounted supplementary fuses are required for each heater circuit. These fuses are included in accessory Single Point Boxes, with power distribution and fuse blocks. The single point box will be installed directly under the unit control box, just to the left of the partition separating the indoor section (with electric heaters) from the outdoor section. The Single Point Box has a hinged access cover. See Fig. 26. The Single Point Box also includes pigtails to complete the wiring between the Single Point Box and the unit’s main control box terminals. Refer to the accessory heater and Single Point Box installation instructions for details on tap connections.
All fuses on 50TCQ units are 60–A. (Note that all heaters are qualified for
use with a 60–A fuse, regardless of actual heater ampacity, so only 60–A fuses
are necessary.)
Single Point Boxes without Fuses — Refer to accessory heater and Single Point
Box installation instructions for details on tap connections.
Low–Voltage Control Connections — Run the low–voltage control leads from the
heater module(s) -VIO and BRN (two of each if two modules are installed;
identify for Module #1) — to the 4–pole terminal board TB4 located on the
heater bulkhead to the left of Heater #1. Connect the VIO leads from Heater #1
and Heater #2 to terminal TB4–1. Connect the BRN leads to terminal TB4–3. See
Fig. 27.
PremierLinkt (Factory–Option) —
The PremierLink controller (see Fig. 28) is compatible with Carrier Comfort
Networkr (CCN) devices. This control is designed to allow users the access and
ability to change factory–defined settings, thus expanding the function of the
standard unit control board. CCN service access tools include System Pilot
(TM), Touch Pilot (TM) and Service Tool. (Standard tier display tools
Navigatort and Scrolling Marquee are not suitable for use with latest
PremierLink controller (Version 2.x).) The PremierLink control is
factory–mounted in the 50TCQ unit’s main control box to the left of the
Central Terminal Board (CTB). Factory wiring is completed through harnesses
connected to the CTB thermostat. Field connections are made at a 16–pole
terminal block (TB1) located on the bottom shelf of the unit control box in
front of the PremierLink controller. The factory–installed PremierLink control
includes the supply–air temperature (SAT) sensor. The outdoor air temperature
(OAT) sensor is included in the FIOP/accessory conoMi$ert2 package. The
PremierLink controller requires the use of a Carrier electronic thermostat or
a CCN connection for time broadcast to initiate its internal timeclock. This
is necessary for broadcast of time of day functions (occupied/unoccupied).
NOTE: PremierLink controller is shipped in Sensor mode. To be used with a
thermostat, the PremierLink controller must be configured to Thermostat mode.
Refer to PremierLink Configuration instructions for Operating Mode.
Supply Air Temperature (SAT) Sensor — On FIOP–equipped 50TCQ unit, the unit is
supplied with a supply–air temperature (SAT) sensor (33ZCSENSAT). This sensor
is a tubular probe type, approx 6–inches (12.7 mm) in length. It is a nominal
10–k ohm thermistor.
The SAT is factory–wired. The SAT probe is wire–tied to the supply–air opening
(on the horizontal opening end) in its shipping position. Remove the sensor
for installation. Re–position the sensor in the flange of the supply–air
opening or in the supply air duct (as required by local codes). Drill or punch
a 1/2–in. hole in the flange or duct. Use two field–supplied, self–drilling
screws to secure the sensor probe in a horizontal orientation. See Fig. 29.
NOTE: Refer to Form 33CS–58SI for complete PremierLink configuration,
operating sequences and troubleshooting information. Have a copy of this
manual available at unit start–up.
NOTE: The sensor must be mounted in the discharge airstream downstream of
the cooling coil and any heating devices. Be sure the probe tip does not come
in contact with any of the unit’s heater surfaces.
Outdoor Air Temperature (OAT) Sensor — The OAT is factory–mounted in the
EconoMi$er2 (FIOP or accessory). It is a nominal 10k ohm thermistor attached
to an eyelet mounting ring.
EconoMi$er2 — The PremierLink control is used with EconoMi$er2 (option or
accessory) for outdoor air management. The damper position is controlled
directly by the PremierLink control; EconoMi$er2 has no internal logic device.
Outdoor air management functions can be enhancefield–installation of these
accessory control devices: Enthalpy control (outdoor air or differential
sensors)
Space CO2 sensor
Outdoor air CO2 sensor
Refer to Table 3 for accessory part numbers.
Field connections — Field connections for accessory sensor and input devices
are made at the 16–pole terminal block (TB1) located on the control box bottom
shelf in front of the PremierLink control (See Fig. 30). Some input devices
also require a 24–vac signal source; connect at CTB terminal R at “THERMOSTAT”
connection strip for this signal source. See connections figures on following
pages for field connection locations (and for continued connections at the
PremierLink board inputs).
Table 4 provides a summary of field connections for units equipped with Space
Sensor. Table 5 provides a summary of field connections for units equipped
with Space Thermostat.
Space Sensors — The PremierLink controller is factory–shipped configured for
Space Sensor Mode. A Carrier T–55 or T–56 space sensor must be used. T–55
space temperature sensor provides a signal of space temperature to the
PremierLink control. T–56 provides same space temperature signal plus it
allows for adjustment of space temperature setpoints from the face of the
sensor by the occupants.
Connect T–55 — See Fig. 31 for typical T–55 internal connections. Connect the T–55 SEN terminals to TB1 terminals 1 and 3 (see Fig. 32).
Connect T–56 — See Fig. 33 for T–56 internal connections. Install a jumper between SEN and SET terminals as illustrated. Connect T–56 terminals to TB1 terminals 1, 3 and 5 (see Fig. 34).
Connect Thermostat — A 7–wire thermostat connection requires a 24–v power
source and a common connection. Use the R and C terminals on the CTB’s
THERMOSTAT connection strip for these. Connect the thermostat’s Y1, Y2, W1, W2
and G terminals to PremierLink TB1 as shown in Fig. 35.
If the 50TCQ unit is equipped with factory–installed smoke detector(s),
disconnect the factory BLU lead at TB1–6 (Y2) before connecting the
thermostat. Identify the BLU lead originating at CTB–DDC–1; disconnect at
TB1–6 and tape off. Confirm that the second BLU lead at TB1–6 remains
connected to PremierLink J4–8.

If the 50TCQ unit has an economizer system and free–cooling operation is
required, a sensor representing Return Air Temperature must also be connected
(field–supplied and installed). This sensor may be a T–55 Space Sensor (see
Fig. 31) installed in the space or in the return duct, or it may be sensor PNO
33ZCSENSAT, installed in the return duct. Connect this sensor to TB1–1 and
TB1–3 per Fig. 32.
Configure the unit for Thermostat Mode — Connect to the CCN bus using a CCN
service tool and navigate to PremierLink Configuration screen for Operating
Mode.
Default setting is Sensor Mode (value 1). Change the value to 0 to reconfigure
the controller for Thermostat Mode.
When the PremierLink is configured for Thermostat Mode, these functions are
not available: Fire Shutdown (FSD), Remote Occupied (RMTOCC), Compressor
Safety (CMPSAFE), Supply Fan Status (SFS), and Filter Pressure Switch
(FILTER).
Economizer controls —
Outdoor Air Enthalpy Control (PNO 33CSENTHSW) -The enthalpy control
(33CSENTHSW) is available as a field–installed accessory to be used with the
EconoMi$er2 damper system. The outdoor air enthalpy sensor is part of the
enthalpy control. (The separate field–installed accessory return air enthalpy
sensor (33CSENTSEN) is required for differential enthalpy control. See Fig.
36.)
Locate the enthalpy control in the economizer next to the Actuator Motor.
Locate two GRA leads in the factory harness and connect the gray lead labeled
“ESL” to the terminal labeled “LOW”. See Fig. 36. Connect the enthalpy control
power input terminals to economizer actuator power leads RED (connect to 24V)
and BLK (connect to GND).
The outdoor enthalpy changeover setpoint is set at the enthalpy controller.
Differential Enthalpy Control — Differential enthalpy control is provided by
sensing and comparing the outside air and return air enthalpy conditions.
Install the outdoor air enthalpy control as described above. Add and install a
return air enthalpy sensor.
Return Air Enthalpy Sensor — Mount the return–air enthalpy sensor (33CSENTSEN)
in the return–air section of the economizer. The return air sensor is wired to
the enthalpy controller (33CSENTHSW). See Fig. 37.
To wire the return air enthalpy sensor, perform the following:
- Use a 2–conductor, 18 or 20 AWG, twisted pair cable to connect the return air enthalpy sensor to the enthalpy controller.
- Connect the field–supplied RED wire to (+) spade connector on the return air enthalpy sensor and the (+) terminal on the enthalpy controller. Connect the BLK wire to (–) spade connector on the return air enthalpy sensor and the (–) terminal on the enthalpy controller.
Indoor Air Quality (CO2 sensor) — The indoor air quality sensor accessory
monitors space carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. This information is used to
monitor IAQ levels. Several types of sensors are available, for wall mounting
in the space or in return duct, with and without LCD display, and in
combination with space temperature sensors. Sensors use infrared technology to
measure the levels of CO2 present in the space air.
The CO2 sensors are all factory set for a range of 0 to 2000 ppm and a linear
mA output of 4 to 20. Refer to the instructions supplied with the CO2 sensor
for electrical requirements and terminal locations. See Fig. 38 for typical
CO2 sensor wiring schematic.
To accurately monitor the quality of the air in the conditioned air space,
locate the sensor near a return–airgrille (if present) so it senses the
concentration of CO2 leaving the space. The sensor should be mounted in a
location to avoid direct breath contact.
Do not mount the IAQ sensor in drafty areas such as near supply ducts, open
windows, fans, or over heat sources. Allow at least 3 ft (0.9 m) between the
sensor and any corner. Avoid mounting the sensor where it is influenced by the
supply air; the sensor gives inaccurate readings if the supply air is blown
directly onto the sensor or if the supply air does not have a chance to mix
with the room air before it is drawn into the return airstream.
Wiring the Indoor Air Quality Sensor —
For each sensor, use two 2–conductor 18 AWG (American Wire Gage) twisted–pair
cables (unshielded) to connect the separate isolated 24 vac power source to
the sensor and to connect the sensor to the control board terminals. To
connect the sensor to the control, identify the positive (4 to 20 mA) and
ground (SIG COM) terminals on the sensor. See Fig. 38. Connect the 4–20 mA
terminal to terminal TB1–9 and connect the SIG COM terminal to terminal
TB1–11. See Fig. 39.
Refer to Form 33CS–58SI, PremierLink Installation, Start–up, and Configuration Instructions, for detailed configuration information Outdoor Air Quality Sensor (PNO 33ZCSENCO2 plus weatherproof enclosure) — The outdoor air CO2 sensor is designed to monitor carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the outside ventilation air and interface with the ventilation damper in an HVAC system. The OAQ sensor is packaged with an outdoor cover. See Fig. 40. The outdoor air CO2 sensor must be located in the economizer outside air hood.
Wiring the Outdoor Air CO2 Sensor — A dedicated power supply is required for
this sensor. A two–wire cable is required to wire the dedicated power supply
for the sensor. The two wires should be connected to the power supply and
terminals 1 and 2.
To connect the sensor to the control, identify the positive (4 to 20 mA) and
ground (SIG COM) terminals on the OAQ sensor. See Fig. 38. Connect the 4 to 20
mA terminal to the TB1–13 terminal of the 50TCQ. Connect the SIG COM terminal
to the TB1–11 terminal of the 50TCQA. See Fig. 41.
Smoke Detector/Fire Shutdown (FSD) — This function is available only when
PremierLink is configured for (Space) Sensor Mode. The unit is factory–wired
for PremierLink FSD operation when PremierLink is factory–installed.
On 50TCQ units equipped with factory–installed Smoke Detector(s), the smoke
detector controller implements the unit shutdown through its NC contact set
connected to the unit’s CTB input. The FSD function is initiated via the smoke
detector’s Alarm NO contact set. The PremierLink communicates the smoke
detector’s tripped status to the CCN building control. See Fig. 30, the
PremierLink wiring schematic.
Filter Status Switch — This function is available only when PremierLink is
configured for (Space) Sensor Mode. PremierLink control can monitor return
filter status in two ways: By monitoring a field–supplied/installed filter
pressure switch or via supply fan runtime hours.
Using switch input: Install the dirty filter pressure switch according to
switch manufacturer’s instructions, to measure pressure drop across the unit’s
return filters.
Connect one side of the switch’s NO contact set to CTB’s THERMOSTAT–R
terminal. Connect the other side of the NO contact set to TB1–10. Setpoint for
Dirty Filter is set at the switch. See Fig. 42.
When the filter switch’s NO contact set closes as filter pressure drop
increases (indicating dirt–laden filters), the input signal to PremierLink
causes the filter status point to read “DIRTY”.
Using Filter Timer Hours: Refer to Form 33CS–58SI for instructions on using
the PremierLink Configuration screens and on unit alarm sequence.
Supply Fan Status Switch — The PremierLink control can monitor supply fan
operation through a field–supplied/installed differential pressure switch.
This sequence will prevent (or interrupt) operation of unit cooling, heating
and economizer functions until the pressure switch contacts are closed
indicating proper supply fan operation.
Install the differential pressure switch in the supply fan section according
to switch manufacturer’s instructions. Arrange the switch contact to be open
on no flow and to close as pressure rises indicating fan operation. Connect
one side of the switch’s NO contact set to CTB’s THERMOSTAT–R terminal.
Connect the other side of the NO contact set to TB1–8. Setpoint for Supply Fan
Status is set at the switch. See Fig. 43.
Fan (Pressure) Switch (NO, close on rise in pressure)
Remote Occupied Switch — The PremierLink control permits a remote timeclock to
override the control’s on–board occupancy schedule and place the unit into
Occupied mode. This function may also provide a “Door Switch” time delay
function that will terminate cooling and heating functions after a 2–20 minute
delay.
Connect one side of the NO contact set on the timeclock to CTB’s THERMOSTAT–R
terminal. Connect the other side of the timeclock contact to the unit’s TB1–2
terminal.
Refer to Form 33CS–58SI for additional information on configuring the
PremierLink control for Door Switch timer function.
Power Exhaust (output) — Connect the accessory Power Exhaust contactor
coils(s) per Fig. 45.
Space Relative Humidity Sensor — The RH sensor is not used with 50TCQ models
at this time.
CCN Communication Bus — The PremierLink controller connects to the bus in a
daisy chain arrangement. Negative pins on each component must be connected to
respective negative pins, and likewise, positive pins on each component must
be connected to respective positive pins. The controller signal pins must be
wired to the signal ground pins. Wiring connections for CCN must be made at
the 3–pin plug.
At any baud (9600, 19200, 38400 baud), the number of controllers is limited to
239 devices maximum. Bus length may not exceed 4000 ft, with no more than 60
total devices on any 1000–ft section. Optically isolated RS–485 repeaters are
required every 1000 ft.
NOTE: Carrier device default is 9600 band.
COMMUNICATION BUS WIRE SPECIFICATIONS — The CCN Communication Bus wiring is
field–supplied and field–installed. It consists of shielded 3–conductor cable
with drain (ground) wire. The cable selected must be identical to the CCN
Communication Bus wire used for the entire network.
See Table 6 for recommended cable.
Table 6 – Recommended Cables
MANUFACTURER | CABLE PART NO. |
---|---|
Alpha | 2413 or 5463 |
American | A22503 |
Belden | 8772 |
Columbia | 2525 |
NOTE: Conductors and drain wire must be at least 20 AWG, stranded, and
tinned copper. Individual conductors must be insulated with PVC, PVC/nylon,
vinyl, Teflon, or polyethylene. An aluminum/polyester 100% foil shield and an
outer jacket of PVC, PVC/nylon, chrome vinyl, or Teflon with a minimum
operating temperature range of — 2 0 _Cto60_C is required. Do not run
communication wire in the same conduit as or next to any AC voltage wiring.
The communication bus shields must be tied together at each system element. If
the communication bus is entirely within one building, the resulting
continuous shield must be connected to ground at only one single point. If the
communication bus cable exits from one building and enters another building,
the shields must be connected to the grounds at a lightning suppressor in each
building (one point only).
Connecting CCN bus:
NOTE: When connecting the communication bus cable, a color code system
for the entire network is recommended to simplify installation and checkout.
See Table 7 for the recommended color code.
Connect the CCN (+) lead (typically RED) to the unit’s TB1–12 terminal.
Connect the CCN (ground) lead (typically WHT) to the unit’s TB1–14 terminal.
Connect the CCN (–) lead (typically BLK) to the unit’s TB1–16 terminal. See
Fig. 46.
RTU–MP control system
The RTU–MP controller, see Fig. 47, provides expanded stand–alone operation of
the HVAC system plus connection and control through communication with several
Building Automation Systems (BAS) through popular third–party network systems.
The available network systems are BACnet MP/TP, Modbus and Johnson J2.
Communication with LonWorks is also possible by adding an accessory interface
card to the RTU–MP. Selection of the communication protocol and baud rate are
made at on–board DIP switches.
The RTU–MP control is factory–mounted in the 50TCQ unit’s main control box, to
the left of the CTB. See Fig. 48. Factory wiring is completed through
harnesses connected to the CTB. Field connections for RTU–MP sensors will be
made at the Phoenix connectors on the RTU–MP board. The factory–installed
RTU–MP controlincludes the supply–air temperature (SAT) sensor. The outdoor
air temperature (OAT) sensor is included in the FIOP/accessory EconoMi$er2
package.
Refer to Table 8, RTU–MP Controller Inputs and Outputs for locations of all

The RTU–MP controller requires the use of a Carrier space sensor. A standard
thermostat cannot be used with the RTU–MP system.
Supply Air Temperature (SAT) Sensor — On FIOP–equipped 50TCQ unit, the unit is
supplied with a supply–air temperature (SAT) sensor (33ZCSENSAT). This sensor
is a tubular probe type, approx 6–inches (12.7 mm) in length. It is a nominal
10–k ohm thermistor.
The SAT is factory–wired. The SAT probe is wire–tied to the supply–air
opening (on the horizontal opening end) in its shipping position. Remove the
sensor for installation. Re–position the sensor in the flange of the
supply–air opening or in the supply air duct (as required by local codes).
Drill or punch a 1 /2–in. hole in the flange or duct. Use two field–supplied,
self–drilling screws to secure the sensor probe in a horizontal orientation.
See Fig. 29. Outdoor Air Temperature (OAT) Sensor — The OAT is factory–mounted
in the EconoMi$er2 (FIOP or accessory). It is a nominal 10k ohm thermistor
attached to an eyelet mounting ring. EconoMi$er2 — The RTU–MP control is used
with EconoMi$er2 (option or accessory) for outdoor air management. The damper
position is controlled directly by the RTU–MP control; EconoMi$er2 has no
internal logic device.
Outdoor air management functions can be enhanced with field–installation of
these accessory control devices: Enthalpy control (outdoor air or differential
sensors) Space CO2 sensor Outdoor air CO2 sensor Field Connections — Field
connections for accessory sensors and input devices are made the RTU–MP, at
plugs J1, J2, J4, J5, J11 and J20. All field control wiring that connects to
the RTU–MP must be routed through the raceway built into the corner post as
shown in Fig. 22.
The raceway provides the UL required clearance between high– and low–voltage
wiring. Pass the control wires through the hole provided in the corner post,
then feed the wires thorough the raceway to the RTU–MP. Connect to the wires
to the removable Phoenix connectors and then reconnect the connectors to the
board.
Space Temperature (SPT) Sensors
A field–supplied Carrier space temperature sensor is required with the RTU–MP
to monitor space temperature.
There are 3 sensors available for this application:
- 33ZCT55SPT, space temperature sensor with override button
- 33ZCT56SPT, space temperature sensor with override button and setpoint adjustment
- 33ZCT59SPT, space temperature sensor with LCD (liquid crystal display) screen, override button, and setpoint adjustment
Use 20 gauge wire to connect the sensor to the controller.
The wire is suitable for distances of up to 500 ft. Use a three–conductor
shielded cable for the sensor and setpointadjustment connections. If the
setpoint adjustment (slidebar) is not required, then an unshielded, 18 or 20
gauge, two–conductor, twisted pair cable may be used.
Connect T–55 — See Fig. 31 for typical T–55 internal connections. Connect the
T–55 SEN terminals to RTU–MP J20–1 and J20–2. See Fig. 50.
Connect T–56 — See Fig. 33 for T–56 internal connections. Install a jumper between SEN and SET terminals as illustrated. Connect T–56 terminals to RTU–MP J20–1, J20–2 and J20–3 per Fig. 51.
Connect T–59 — The T–59 space sensor requires a separate, isolated power supply of 24 VAC. See Fig. 51 for internal connections at the T–59. Connect the SEN terminal (BLU) to RTU–MP J20–1. Connect the COM terminal (BRN) to J20–2. Connect the SET terminal (STO or BLK) to J20–3.
Economizer controls —
Outdoor Air Enthalpy Control (PNO HH57AC077) -The enthalpy control (HH57AC077)
is available as a field–installed accessory to be used with the EconoMi$er2
damper system. The outdoor air enthalpy sensor is part of the enthalpy
control. (The separate field–installed accessory return air enthalpy sensor
(HH57AC078) is required for differential enthalpy control. See “Return Air
Enthalpy Sensor”below.)
Locate the enthalpy control in the economizer hood.
Locate two GRA leads in the factory harness and connect these leads to
enthalpy control sensors 2 and 3. See Fig. 36. Connect the enthalpy control
power input terminals to economizer actuator power leads RED (connect to TR)
and BLK (connect to TR1).
The outdoor enthalpy changeover setpoint is set at the enthalpy controller.
Differential Enthalpy Control — Differential enthalpy control is provided by
sensing and comparing the outside air and return air enthalpy conditions.
Install the outdoor air enthalpy control as described above. Add and install a
return air enthalpy sensor.
Return Air Enthalpy Sensor — Mount the return–air enthalpy sensor (HH57AC078)
in the return–air duct. The return air sensor is wired to the enthalpy
controller (HH57AC077). See Fig. 37.
To wire the return air enthalpy sensor, perform the following:
- Use a 2–conductor, 18 or 20 AWG, twisted pair cable to connect the return air enthalpy sensor to the enthalpy controller.
- At the enthalpy control remove the factory–installed resistor from the (SR) and (+) terminals.
- Connect the field–supplied RED wire to (+) spade connector on the return air enthalpy sensor and the (SR+) terminal on the enthalpy controller. Connect the BLK wire to (S) spade connector on the return air enthalpy sensor and the (SR) terminal on the enthalpy controller.
NOTE: The enthalpy control must be set to the “D” setting for
differential enthalpy control to work properly. Indoor Air Quality (CO2
sensor) — The indoor air quality sensor accessory monitors space carbon
dioxide (CO2) levels. This information is used to monitor IAQ levels. Several
types of sensors are available, for wall mounting in the space or in return
duct, with and without LCD display, and in combination with space temperature
sensors. Sensors use infrared technology to measure the levels of CO2 present
in the space air.
The CO2 sensors are all factory set for a range of 0 to 2000 ppm and a linear
mA output of 4 to 20. Refer to the instructions supplied with the CO2 sensor
for electrical requirements and terminal locations. See Fig. 38 for typical
CO2 sensor wiring schematic.
To accurately monitor the quality of the air in the conditioned air space,
locate the sensor near a return–air grille (if present) so it senses the
concentration of CO2 leaving the space. The sensor should be mounted in a
location to avoid direct breath contact. Do not mount the IAQ sensor in drafty
areas such as near supply ducts, open windows, fans, or over heat sources.
Allow at least 3 ft (0.9 m) between the sensor and any corner. Avoid mounting
the sensor where it is influenced by the supply air; the sensor gives
inaccurate readings if the supply air is blown directly onto the sensor or if
the supply air does not have a chance to mix with the room air before it is
drawn into the return airstream.
Wiring the Indoor Air Quality Sensor —
For each sensor, use two 2–conductor 18 AWG (American Wire Gage) twisted–pair
cables (unshielded) to connect the separate isolated 24 vac power source to
the sensorand to connect the sensor to the control board terminals. To connect
the sensor to the control, identify the positive (4 to 20 mA) and ground (SIG
COM) terminals on the sensor. See Fig. 38. Connect the 4–20 mA terminal to
RTU–MP J4–2 and connect the SIG COM terminal to RTU–MP J4–3. See Fig. 53.
IAQ Sensor
Outdoor Air Quality Sensor (PNO 33ZCSENCO2 plus weatherproof enclosure) — The
outdoor air CO2 sensor is designed to monitor carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in
the outside ventilation air and interface with the ventilation damper in an
HVAC system. The OAQ sensor is packaged with an outdoor cover. See Fig. 40.
The outdoor air CO2 sensor must be located in the economizer outside air hood.
Wiring the Outdoor Air CO2 Sensor — A dedicated power supply is required for
this sensor. A two–wire cable is required to wire the dedicated power supply
for the sensor.
The two wires should be connected to the power supply and terminals 1 and 2.
To connect the sensor to the control, identify the positive (4 to 20 mA) and
ground (SIG COM) terminals on the OAQ sensor. See Fig. 38. Connect the 4 to 20
mA terminal to RTU–MP J4–5. Connect the SIG COM terminal to RTU–MP J4–6.
On 50TCQ units equipped with factory–installed Smoke Detector(s), the smoke detector controller implements the unit shutdown through its NC contact set connected to the unit’s CTB input. The FSD function is initiated via thesmoke detector’s Alarm NO contact set. The RTU–MP controller communicates the smoke detector’s tripped status to the BAS building control. See Fig. 30, the PremierLink wiring schematic. The Fire Shutdown Switch configuration, MENU→Config→Inputs→input 5, identifies the normally open status of this input when there is no fire alarm.

Space Relative Humidity Sensor — The RH sensor is not used with 50TCQ models
at this time.
Communication Wiring — Protocols
General
Protocols are the communication languages spoken by control devices. The main
purpose of a protocol is to communicate information in the most efficient
method possible. Different protocols exist to provide different kinds of
information for different applications. In the BAS application, many
different protocols are used, depending on manufacturer. Protocols do not
change the function of a controller; just make the front end user different.
The RTU–MP can be set to communicate on four different protocols: BACnet,
Modbus, N2, and LonWorks. Switch 3 (SW3) on the board is used to set protocol
and baud rate. Switches 1 and 2 (SW1 and SW2) are used to set the board’s
network address. See Fig. 56 for the switch setting per protocol. The 3rd
party connection to the RTU–MP is through plug J19.
NOTE: Power must be cycled after changing the SW1–3 switch settings.
Refer to the RTU–MP 3rd Party Integration Guide for more detailed information
on protocols, 3rd party wiring, and networking.

SMOKE DETECTORS
Smoke detectors are available as factory–installed options on 50TCQ models.
Smoke detectors may be specified for Supply Air only or for Return Air without
or with economizer or in combination of Supply Air and Return Air. Return Air
smoke detectors are arranged for vertical return configurations only. All
components necessary for operation are factory–provided and mounted. The unit
is factory–configured for immediate smoke detector shutdown operation;
additional wiring or modifications to unit terminal board may be necessary to
complete the unit and smoke detector configuration to meet project
requirements.
Units equipped with factory–optional Return Air smoke detectors require a
relocation of the sensor module at unit installation. See “Completing
Installation of Return Air Smoke Sensor:” on page 35 for details.
System
The smoke detector system consists of a four–wire controller and one or two
sensors. Its primary function is to shut down the rooftop unit in order to
prevent smoke from circulating throughout the building. It is not to be used
as a life saving device.
Controller
The controller (see Fig. 58) includes a controller housing, a printed circuit
board, and a clear plastic cover. The controller can be connected to one or
two compatible duct smoke sensors. The clear plastic cover is secured to the
housing with a single captive screw for easy access to the wiring terminals.
The controller has three LEDs (for Power, Trouble and Alarm) and a manual
test/reset button (on the cover face).
Sensor
The sensor (see Fig. 59) includes a plastic housing, a printed circuit board,
a clear plastic cover, a sampling tube inlet and an exhaust tube. The sampling
tube (when used) and exhaust tube are attached during installation. The
sampling tube varies in length depending on the size of the rooftop unit. The
clear plastic cover permits visual inspections without having to disassemble
the sensor. The cover attaches to the sensor housing using four captive screws
and forms an airtight chamber around the sensing electronics. Each sensor
includes a harness with an RJ45 terminal for connecting to the controller.
Each sensor has four LEDs (for Power, Trouble, Alarm and Dirty) and a manual
test/reset button (on the left–side of the housing).
Air is introduced to the duct smoke detector sensor’s sensing chamber through
a sampling tube that extends into the HVAC duct and is directed back into the
ventilation system through a (shorter) exhaust tube. The difference in air
pressure between the two tubes pulls the sampled air through the sensing
chamber. When a sufficient amount of smoke is detected in the sensing chamber,
the sensor signals an alarm state and the controller automatically takes the
appropriate action to shut down fans and blowers, change over air handling
systems, notify the fire alarm control panel, etc.
The sensor uses a process called differential sensing to prevent gradual
environmental changes from triggering false alarms. A rapid change in
environmental conditions, such as smoke from a fire, causes the sensor to
signal an alarm state but dust and debris accumulated over time does not.
For installations using two sensors, the duct smoke detector does not
differentiate which sensor signals an alarm or trouble condition.
Smoke Detector Locations
Supply Air — The Supply Air smoke detector sensor is located to the left of
the unit’s indoor (supply) fan. See Fig. 60. Access is through the fan access
panel. There is no sampling tube used at this location. The sampling tube
inlet extends through the side plate of the fan housing (into a high pressure
area). The controller is located on a bracket to the right of the return
filter, accessed through the lift–off filter panel.
Return Air without Economizer — The sampling tube is located across the return air opening on the unit basepan. See Fig. 61. The holes in the sampling tube face downward, into the return air stream. The sampling tube is connected via tubing to the return air sensor that is mounted on a bracket high on the partition between return filter and controller location. (This sensor is shipped in a flat–mounting location. Installation requires that this sensor be relocated to its operating location and the tubing to the sampling tube be connected. See “Completing Installation of Return Air Smoke Sensor:” for details.)
Return Air with Economizer — The sampling tube is inserted through the side plates of the economizer housing, placing it across the return air opening on the unit basepan. See Fig. 61. The holes in the sampling tube face downward, into the return air stream. The sampling tube is connected via tubing to the return air sensor that is mounted on a bracket high on the partition between return filter and controller location. (This sensor is shipped in a flat–mounting location. Installation requires that this sensor be relocated to its operating location and the tubing to the sampling tube be connected. See the following installation procedure.)
Completing Installation of Return Air Smoke Sensor:
- Unscrew the two screws holding the Return Air Sensor detector plate. See Fig. 63. Save the screws.
- Remove the Return Air Sensor and its detector plate.
- Rotate the detector plate so the sensor is facing outwards and the sampling tube connection is on the bottom. See Fig. 64.
- Screw the sensor and detector plate into its operating position using screws from Step 1. Make sure the sampling tube connection is on the bottom and the exhaust tube is on the top. See Fig. 64.
- Connect the flexible tube on the sampling inlet to the sampling tube on the basepan.

NOTES:
- In compliance with NEC requirements for multimotor and combination load equipment (refer to NEC Articles 430 and 440), the overcurrent protective device for the unit shall be fuse or HACR breaker. Canadian units may be fuse or circuit breaker.
- Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage
Never operate a motor where a phase imbalance in supply voltage is greater than 2%. Use the following formula to determine the percentage of voltage imbalance.
Example: Supply voltage is 230-3-60
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage.
(AB) 227 – 224 = 3 v
(BC) 231 – 227 = 4 v
(AC) 227 – 226 = 1 v
Maximum deviation is 4 v.
Determine percent of voltage imbalance.
This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the maximum
allowable 2%.
IMPORTANT: If the supply voltage phase imbalance is more than 2%, contact
your local electric utility company immediately.
Step 11 — Adjust Factory–Installed Options
Smoke Detectors —
Smoke detector(s) will be connected at the Central Terminal Board (CTB), at
