INSTALLATION Refrigerant Piping Connections Line sizes depend on length of piping required between condensing unit and evaporator. See Table 2A or 2B. It is important to consider liquid lift and compressor oil return. Refer to Part 3 of Carrier System Design Manual for line sizing information, and Fig. 4 for recommended piping details.
Liquid Line Solenoid Drop Control The factorysupplied solenoid valve must be installed at the indoor unit (fan coil) per Fig. 5, and wired per wiring label found on unit. The solenoid assures that system refrigerant is in the high-pressure side (condenser and liquid line) of the system during the off cycle. Refrigerant migration is minimized. Factory-supplied liquid line solenoid valve connecting sizes are 78-in. (22.2 mm) ODF for inlet and 78-in. (22.2 mm) ODM for outlet.
NOTES: 1. Use 2 in. OD (50 mm) pipe or hooks in lifting holes. 2. Rig with 4 cables and spread with 2 D long and two A long 2 x 4s in. (50 x 100 mm) or equal. 3. Run the rigging cables to a central suspension point so that the angle from the horizontal is not less than 45 degrees.
Failure to properly install liquid line solenoid at the indoor unit as described, without Carrier authorization, may VOID warranty.

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 percent voltage imbalance: % Voltage Imbalance = 100 x max voltage deviation from average voltage average voltage Example: Supply voltage is 240-3-60. AB = 243 v BC = 236 v AC = 238 v
Average Voltage =
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage: (AB) 243 239 = 4 v (BC) 239 236 = 3 v (AC) 239 238 = 1 v Maximum deviation is 4 v. Determine percent voltage imbalance: % Voltage Imbalance = 100 x = 1.7% This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the maximum allowable 2%. IMPORTANT: Contact your local electric utility company immediately if the supply voltage phase imbalance is more than 2%. 4 239
3. Control Circuit Interlock An airow switch may be installed in the indoor air handler to prevent unit from running when indoor air is not owing. This switch (no. HR81JE001) is available from Service Parts Center, or equivalent can be eld supplied. This should be electrically interlocked in the control circuit, between thermostat TC1 (stage 1, cooling) and terminal 2 Y1 on TB3. See Fig. 8 for typical eld wiring. This is in the 24-v circuit. Wires must be run in conduit with ground wire. 4. Transformer Connections See unit wiring label diagram, notes 1 and 2, located behind compressor compartment end access door. IMPORTANT: Ensure power to the crankcase heater is always on (except when servicing the unit). If circuit breaker inside unit shuts down the compressor, crankcase heater remains on.

The start-up of the compressor can occur between 3 seconds and approximately 5 minutes from the time the control circuit is energized due to the anti-short cycle feature of the control module (CM).
Never charge liquid into the low-pressure side of system. Do not overcharge. During charging or removal of refrigerant, be sure indoor fan system is operating.
Leak Test and Dehydration Leak test the entire refrigerant system by the pressure method described in the Carrier Training Booklet; GTAC II, Module 4 - System Dehydration. Preliminary Charge Refer to Carrier Training Booklet; GTAC II, Module 5 for charging methods and procedures. Charge system with approximately 25 lbs (11.3 kg) of R-22 by the liquid charging method (charging through liquid service valve), on the high side, and charging by weight. Charge per Fig. 10-12. Start Unit Close eld disconnect. Set thermostat above
ambient temperature so that there is no demand for cooling. Now, only the crankcase heater is energized. After the heater has been on for 24 hours, the unit can be started. If no time has elapsed since the preliminary charge step has been completed, it is unnecessary to wait the 24-hour period. Close the compressor circuit breaker, then reset the indoor thermostat below ambient temperature, so that a call for cooling is ensured. NOTE: Do not use the compressor circuit breaker to start and stop compressor, except in an emergency.

FOR SERVICING ONLY To speed up the 5-minute antishort cycle, a temporary jumper may be placed between terminals T1 and T6 of the control module.
This jumper must be removed after servicing is complete. Failure to remove this jumper is considered abusive treatment and will void the Carrier warranty.
Time-Delay Relay (TDR) (50 Hz Only) This solidstate delay-on-make relay is factory set for a 1-second delay. The number 1 dip switch is set to the ON position, and all the other dip switches are set to the OFF position. Once the control relay (CR) is energized, the compressor contactor C1 is powered, and the rst set of compressor windings is energized. After the 1-second time delay, contactor C1A is powered and the second set of compressor windings is energized (part-wind start). Sequence of Operation When space thermostat
calls for cooling, the no. 1 condenser fan and compressor start after CM initial time delay of 3 ( 2/1) seconds. If an optional airow switch is used, compressor and no. 1 condenser fan will not start until sufficient indoor airow has closed the switch. After 3 seconds the compressor starts and the liquid line solenoid valve for solenoid drop control opens. The crankcase heater is deenergized. If the head pressure reaches 260 psig (1792 kPa) the second condenser fan starts. Fan no. 3 (38AKS044 only) starts if outdoor ambient air rises above 80 F (26.7 C). If cooling demand is low, suction pressure at the compressor drops. As the pressure drops, the compressor unloads 2 banks of cylinders as required. If cooling demand is high and 2-stage operation is used, the second stage of the thermostat activates the capacity control liquid line solenoid which activates the second stage evaporator coil. The compressor cylinders load or unload in response to compressor suction pressure to meet evaporator load. Two minutes after compressor starts, the BPR timer is deenergized and the LPS bypass is deactivated. If the LPS trips during the rst 2 minutes of operation, the compressor will remain operational. If the LPS trips after 2 minutes, the compressor operation is interrupted, and the compressor cannot restart until the 5-minute CM anti-short cycle timer expires. As the space cooling load is satised, the second stage of the thermostat opens, and closes the eld-supplied capacity control liquid line solenoid valve to deactivate the second stage coil. The compressor adjusts the number of active cylinders to meet the new load. When the space temperature is satised, the rst stage of the thermostat opens and the control relay and the BPR open. This closes the solenoid drop control valve. The compressor stops and the crankcase heater is energized, preventing refrigerant from migrating to the compressor during the off cycle (solenoid drop refrigerant control). The CM anti-short cycling timer is energized and runs for approximately 5 minutes. During this time, the compressor is not able to restart.
If unit or circuit stoppage occurs more than once due to any safety device, the trouble should be corrected before any attempt to restart.

Oil Pressure Safety Switch (OPS) The OPS in the control circuit stops the compressor and unit, if proper oil pressure differential is not established at start-up or maintained during operation. If OPS stops the unit, determine the cause and correct before restarting unit. Failure to do so will constitute abuse. Equipment failure due to abuse may void the warranty. Compressor Protection
CIRCUIT BREAKER Calibrated trip manual reset, ambient compensated, magnetic breaker protects against motor overload and locked rotor conditions. CONTROL MODULE TIMER This control protects compressor against short cycling. See Sequence of Operation on page 17. CRANKCASE HEATER This minimizes absorption of liquid refrigerant by oil in crankcase during brief or extended shutdown periods. IMPORTANT: Never open any switch or disconnect that deenergizes the crankcase heater unless unit is being serviced or is to be shut down for a prolonged period. After a prolonged shutdown on a service job, energize the crankcase heater for 24 hours before starting the compressor.
Head Pressure Control Control maintains adequate discharge pressure under low ambient temperature conditions. See Table 5. FAN CYCLING These 38AKS units have standard provision for fully automatic intermediate-season head pressure control through condenser fan cycling. Fan no. 2 is cycled by a fan cycling pressure switch (FCPS) which responds to variation in discharge pressure. The pressure sensor is located in the liquid line of the refrigerant circuit. Fan no. 3 cycling is controlled by outdoor-air temperature through an air temperature switch (ATS) (38AKS044 units only).
