All ﬁeld wiring must comply with NEC (U.S.A.) and lo- cal requirements.

Install ﬁeld wiring as follows:

1.Install conduit through side panel openings.

2.Install power lines to connections as shown in Fig. 8. Wrap connections with electrical tape.

Voltage to compressor terminals during operation must be within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate (also see Table 4). Voltages between phases must be balanced within 2% and the current within 10%. Use the formula shown in Table 4, Note 2, to determine the percent voltage imbalance. Operation on improper line voltage or excessive phase im- balance constitutes abuse and may cause damage to elec- trical components. Such operation would invalidate any ap- plicable Carrier warranty.

ACCESSORY ELECTRIC HEAT — If the system is to be equipped with an accessory electric heater, refer to the 40RMQ008 installation instructions and Tables 5A and 5B.

FIELD CONTROL WIRING — Install a Carrier-approved accessory thermostat assembly according to installation in- structions included with the accessory. Locate thermostat as- sembly on a solid wall in the conditioned space to sense av- erage temperature in accordance with thermostat installation instructions. Carrier-approved thermostat is Part Number HH07AT-171. Subbase is HH93AZ-188.

Route thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of col- ored wire from subbase terminals to low-voltage connec- tions on unit (shown in Fig. 9) as described in Steps 1 through 3 below.

1.Connect thermostat wires to screw terminals of low- voltage connection board.

2.Pass the control wires through the hole provided in the corner post. (See Fig. 10.)

3.Feed wire through the raceway built into the corner post to the 24-v barriers located on the left side of the control box. The raceway provides the required clearance be- tween the high- and low-voltage wiring.

NOTE: 39 VA is available for ﬁeld-installed accessories. Control power requirement for heat pump outdoor unit is 36 VA (sealed). The factory-supplied control transformer is 75 VA.

NOTE: For wire runs, use the following insulated wire:

LENGTH		INSULATION		SIZE
Ft	M	RATING (C)	AWG		sq mm
0-50	0-15.2	35	18		0.82
50-75	15.2-22.9	35	16		1.30
Over 75	Over 22.9	35	14		2.08

LEGEND

AWG — American Wire Gage

All wire larger than no. 18 AWG (American Wire Gage) cannot be directly connected to the thermostat and will re- quire a junction box and splice at the thermostat.

38AQS008 specifications

The Carrier 38AQS008 is a high-performance air conditioning unit that stands out for its innovative technology, design, and efficiency. As part of Carrier's extensive line of HVAC solutions, this model is engineered to deliver optimal indoor comfort while minimizing energy consumption.

One of the main features of the Carrier 38AQS008 is its high SEER rating, which signifies exceptional energy efficiency. This rating ensures that consumers can enjoy lower utility bills and reduced environmental impact, making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious homeowners. The unit's advanced cooling technologies work seamlessly to maintain precise temperature control, ensuring a pleasant environment regardless of the season.

The Carrier 38AQS008 employs a variable-speed compressor, which allows the system to adjust its operation based on the cooling demand. Unlike traditional fixed-speed units that operate at a single speed, the variable-speed technology leads to quieter operation, increased efficiency, and improved dehumidification. As the unit operates at lower speeds, it can effectively reduce energy usage when full cooling capacity is not required, further enhancing overall efficiency.

In addition to its potent cooling capabilities, the Carrier 38AQS008 incorporates a robust filtration system that captures airborne particles, dust, and allergens. This feature not only improves indoor air quality but also ensures that the system operates efficiently by maintaining clean coils. Users can enjoy a healthier living space while also prolonging the lifespan of the air conditioning unit.

Another characteristic of the Carrier 38AQS008 is its durable construction, designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. The unit is equipped with a galvanized steel cabinet that offers corrosion resistance, and its compact design allows for easy installation and integration into various home environments.

Moreover, the Carrier 38AQS008 is compatible with smart home technology, allowing users to control their air conditioning system remotely. This feature enhances convenience and efficiency, as homeowners can adjust settings based on their daily routines and preferences.

Meeting rigorous energy performance standards, the Carrier 38AQS008 exemplifies Carrier's commitment to sustainability and customer satisfaction. With its combination of advanced features, reliable performance, and user-friendly technology, this air conditioning unit is a superior choice for those seeking a dependable and efficient cooling solution.
