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.

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.

Carrier 50TCQA Single Package Rooftop Heat Pump - Weatherproof
Cover

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.

Carrier 50TCQA Single Package Rooftop Heat Pump - Outlet
Wiring

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.

Carrier 50TCQA Single Package Rooftop Heat Pump - Connection
Fittings

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 —

  1. Install power wiring conduit through side panel openings.
    Install conduit between disconnect and control box.

  2. 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.

Carrier 50TCQA Single Package Rooftop Heat Pump - PremierLink
Controller

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.

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.

Carrier 50TCQA Single Package Rooftop Heat Pump - Enthalpy
Sensor

To wire the return air enthalpy sensor, perform the following:

  1. Use a 2–conductor, 18 or 20 AWG, twisted pair cable to connect the return air enthalpy sensor to the enthalpy controller.
  2. 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.

Carrier 50TCQA Single Package Rooftop Heat Pump - Typical Wiring
Diagram

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.

Carrier 50TCQA Single Package Rooftop Heat Pump - IAQ
Sensor

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.

Connections

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.

Carrier 50TCQA Single Package Rooftop Heat Pump - Filter Switch
Connection

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.

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.

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:

  1. Use a 2–conductor, 18 or 20 AWG, twisted pair cable to connect the return air enthalpy sensor to the enthalpy controller.
  2. At the enthalpy control remove the factory–installed resistor from the (SR) and (+) terminals.
  3.  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.

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).

Carrier 50TCQA Single Package Rooftop Heat Pump - Smoke Detector
Sensor

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.

Voltage2

Example: Supply voltage is 230-3-60

Carrier 50TCQA Single Package Rooftop Heat Pump - Average
Voltage

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.
