Completing Heater Installation - Carrier 50FC 08-16 Series Service And Maintenance Instructions

SINGLE POINT BOXES AND SUPPLEMENTARY FUSES
When the unit MOCP device value exceeds 60A, 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 heat-
ers) from the outdoor section. The single point box has a
hinged access cover. See Fig. 37.

On 50FC units, all fuses are 60A. Single point boxes containing
fuses for 208/230-v applications use UL Class RK5 250-v fuses
(Bussmann FRNR 60 or Shawmut TR 60R). Single point boxes
for 460-v and 575-v applications use UL Class T 600-v fuses
(Bussmann JJS 60 or Shawmut A6T 60). (Note that all heaters are
qualified for use with a 60A fuse, regardless of actual heater
ampacity, so only 60A fuses are necessary.)
SAFETY DEVICES
CRHEATERS323A00 - 341A00 electric heater applications use a
combination of 24-v control side break/auto-reset, line-break/non-
resettable "one shot" limit switches and a fan stator/manual reset
limit switch to protect the unit against over-temperature situations.
Line-break/auto-reset limit switches, 24-v control side break/auto-
reset and line-break/non-resettable "one shot" limit switches are
mounted on the base plate of each heater module. See Fig. 38.
These are accessed through the indoor access panel. Remove the
switch by removing two screws into the base plate and extracting
the existing switch.
Fan stator/manual reset limit switch is located in the side plate of
the indoor (supply) fan housing. See Fig. 38.

Completing Heater Installation

FIELD POWER CONNECTIONS
Tap conductors must be installed between the base unit's field
power connection lugs and the single point box (with or without
fuses). See Fig. 39. Refer to unit wiring schematic. Use copper
wire only. For connection using the single point box without fuses,
connect the field power supply conductors to the heater power
leads and the field-supplied tap conductors inside the single point
box. Use UL-approved pressure connectors (field-supplied) for
these splice joints.
LOW-VOLTAGE CONTROL CONNECTIONS
Pull the low-voltage control leads from the heater module(s) —
ORN, VIO and BRN — to the 4-pole terminal board TB4 located
on the heater bulkhead to the left of heater 1. Connect the ORN
lead to terminal TB4-1. Connect the VIO lead to terminal TB4-2.
Connect the BRN lead to terminal TB4-3. See Fig. 39.
