Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, mainte-
nance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electric shock, or
other occurrences, which could cause serious injury or death
or damage your property. Consult a qualified installer or
service agency for information or assistance. The qualified
installer or agency must use only factory-authorized kits or
accessories when modifying this product.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol
When you see this symbol on the product or in instructions or
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words — DANGER, WARNING, CAU-
TION, and NOTE. Danger identifies the most serious hazards,
which will result in severe personal injury or death. Warning
indicates a condition that could cause serious personal injury or
death. Caution is used to identify unsafe practices, which may
result in minor personal injury or product and property damage.
NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in
enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.
1. The power supply (volts, phase, and hertz) must correspond to
that specified on unit rating plate.
2. The electrical supply provided by the utility must be sufficient
to handle load imposed by this unit.
3. This installation must conform with local building codes and
with NEC (National Electrical Code). Refer to provincial and
local plumbing or waste water codes and other applicable local
codes.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on
system, turn off main power to unit. Turn off accessory heater
power switch if applicable.
INTRODUCTION
The 50SZ heat pump is fully self-contained and designed for
outdoor installation (See Fig. 1). Standard units are shipped in a
horizontal-discharge configuration for installation on a ground-
level slab. Units can be converted to downflow (vertical) discharge
configurations for rooftop applications.
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step 1—Check Equipment
IDENTIFY UNIT
The unit model number and serial number are stamped on the unit
identification plate. Check this information against shipping pa-
pers.
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. Manu-
facturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in transit.
Check all items against shipping list. Immediately 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. 5). 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 watertight 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. (See Fig. 6). 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—Provide Clearances
The required minimum service clearances are shown in Fig. 2 and
3. Adequate ventilation and outdoor air must be provided. The
outdoor fan draws air through the outdoor coil and discharges it
through the top fan grille. Be sure that the fan discharge does not
recirculate to the outdoor coil. Do not locate the unit in either a
corner or under an overhead obstruction. The minimum clearance
under a partial overhang (such as a normal house overhang) is 36
in. above the unit top. The maximum horizontal extension of a
partial overhang must not exceed 48 in. For extended overhangs,
provide a minimum clearance of 48 in.
IMPORTANT: Do not restrict outdoor airflow. An air restriction
at either the outdoor-air inlet or the fan discharge may be
detrimental to compressor life.
Do not place the unit where water, ice, or snow from an overhang
or roof will damage or flood the unit. Do not install the unit on
carpeting or other combustible materials. Slab-mounted units
should be at least 4 in. above the highest expected water and runoff
levels. Do not use unit if it has been under water.
Step 4—Rig and Place Unit
Rigging and handling of this equipment can be hazardous for many
reasons due to the installation location (roofs, elevated structures,
etc.)
Only trained, qualified crane operators and ground support staff
should handle and install this equipment.
When working with this equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the equipment,
and any other safety precautions that might apply.
Follow all applicable safety codes. Wear safety shoes and work
gloves.
INSPECTION
Prior to initial use, and at monthly intervals, all rigging brackets
and straps should be visually inspected for any damage, evidence
of wear, structural deformation, or cracks. Particular attention
should be paid to excessive wear at hoist hooking points and load
support areas. Brackets or straps showing any kind of wear in these
areas must not be used and should be discarded.
