CONSIDER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Consult local building codes and NEC (U.S.A.) for spe- cial installation requirements.

Allow sufficient space for airflow clearance, wiring, re- frigerant piping, and servicing unit. See Fig. 2.

Locate unit so that outdoor unit airflow is unrestricted on all sides and above. Refer to Fig. 2.

Unit may be mounted on a level pad directly on base rails or mounted on raised pads at support points. See Fig. 2 for weight distribution based on recommended support points.

Provide for condensate drainage and defrost water dis- posal beneath unit.

Areas with high snowfall may need elevated mounting for adequate airflow.

NOTE: If vibration isolators are required for a particular in- stallation, use corner weight information in Fig. 2 to make proper selection.

Step 2 — Rig and Mount the Unit

Be sure unit panels are securely in place prior to rigging.

RIGGING — These units are designed for overhead rig- ging. Refer to rigging label for preferred rigging method. Spreader bars are not required if top crating is left on unit. All panels must be in place when rigging. (See Fig. 3.) As

further protection for coil faces, plywood sheets may be placed against sides of unit, behind cables. Run cables to a central suspension point so that angle from the horizontal plane is not less than 45 degrees. Raise and set unit down carefully.

If it is necessary to roll unit into position, mount unit on rails, using a minimum of 3 rollers. Apply force to rails, not unit. If unit is to be skidded into position, place it on a large pad and drag it by the pad. Do not apply any force to unit.

Raise from above to lift unit from rails or pad when unit is in final position.

After unit is in position, remove all shipping wrapping and top crating.

MOUNTING — The unit must be elevated to ensure drain- age from basepan during sub-freezing conditions and to pre- vent or limit blockage of outdoor coil during snowfall. Con- sideration should be given to specific geographical areas when determining height of unit elevation.

COMPRESSOR MOUNTING — As shipped, compressors are held down by 4 bolts. After unit is installed, loosen each bolt until the snubber washer can be moved with finger pres- sure. See Fig. 4.

Step 3 — Complete Refrigerant Piping Connec-

tions — Suction connection is sweat with plastic cap; liq- uid connection is sweat with plastic cap. Refer to Table 2 for the proper line sizes. Follow standard piping practices.

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.
