Most low voltage connections are made to the same board and make it easy to find what you’re looking for and easy to access it. Carrier rooftops have high and low pressure switches, a filter drier, and 2- - in (51mm)
S Up to 28% lighter than similar industry units. Lighter rooftops make easier replacement jobs. S Utility connections are the same because 3 - - 12.5 ton units fit on existing Carrier rooftop curbs. This saves time and money on replacement jobs.

Carrier’s Staged Air Volume (SAV) system saves energy and installation time by utilizing a Variable Frequency The winter start kit by Carrier extends the low ambient Drive (VFD) to automatically adjust the indoor fan motor limit of your rooftop to 25_F (- - 4_C). The kit bypasses the speed in sequence with the units cooling operation.
