INTRODUCTION
The 48CE unit (see Fig. 1) is a fully self-contained, combination
Category I gas heating/electric cooling unit designed for outdoor
installation (See Fig. 5 and 6 for unit dimensions). All unit sizes
have return and discharge openings for both horizontal and
downflow configurations, and are factory shipped with all
downflow duct openings covered. Units may be installed either on
a rooftop, a cement slab. or directly on the ground if local codes
permit (See Fig. 7 for roof curb dimensions).
Models with an N in the fifth position of the model number are
dedicated Low NOx units designed for California installations.
These models meet the California maximum oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) emissions requirements of 40 nanograms/joule or less as
shipped from the factory and must be installed in California Air
Quality Management Districts or any other regions in North
America where a Low NOx rule exists.
NOTE: Low NOx requirements apply only to natural gas
installations.
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step I--Check Equipment
IDENTIFY UNIT
The unit model number and serial number are stamped on the unit
identification plate. Check this information against shipping papers.
INSPECT SHIPMENT
Inspect for shipping damage while unit is still on shipping pallet. If
unit appears to be damaged or is torn loose from its anchorage, have
it examined by transportation inspectors before removal. Forward
claim papers directly to transportation company. Manufacturer is
not responsible for any damage incurred in transit. Check all items
against shipping list. Inmrediately notify the nearest Carrier Air
Conditioning office if any item is missing. To prevent loss or
damage, leave all parts in original packages until installation.
Step 2--Provide Unit Support
ROOF CURB
Install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped
with curb (See Fig. 2). Install insulation, cant strips, roofing, and
flashing. Ductwork must be attached to curb.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is critical
for a water tight seal. Install gasketing material supplied with the
roof curb. Improperly applied gasketing also can result in air leaks
and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level to within 1/4 in. This is necessary for unit drain
to function properly. Refer to accessory roof curb installation
instructions for additional information as required.
SLAB MOUNT
Place the unit on a solid, level concrete pad that is a minimum of 4
in. thick with 2 in. above grade (See Fig. 7). The slab should extend
approximately 2 in. beyond the casing on all 4 sides of the unit. Do
not secure the unit to the slab except when required by local codes.
GROUND MOUNT
The unit may be installed either on a slab or placed directly on the
ground if local codes permit. Place the unit on level ground prepared
with gravel for condensate discharge.
Step 3--Field Fabricate Ductwork
Secure all ducts to roof curb and building structure on vertical
discharge units. Do not connect ductwork to unit. For horizontal
applications, unit is provided with flanges on the horizontal
openings. All duc_vork should be secured to the flanges. Insulate
and weatherproof all external duc_vork, joints, and roof openings
with counter flashing and mastic in accordance with applicable
codes.
Ducts passing through an unconditioned space 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.
