control of one stage of heat to maintain return-air tem- perature at heating set point during occupied periods

provide a variable frequency drive high voltage relay output to enable VFD

control of heat interlock relay

IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) sensor

OAQ (Outdoor Air Quality) sensor

DX compressor lockout occurs at 45 F outdoor air tem- perature and is factory-enabled on units with serial num- ber 0600F or later. This feature may be disabled through the use of a computer

compressor Time Guard® override (power up, minimum off and on times)

With the addition of a remote start/stop switch heating or cooling is enabled during unoccupied periods as required to maintain space temperature to within unoccupied set points.

Occupied heating is enabled or disabled by the position of DIP (dual in-line package) switch no. 5.

Additional features may be provided with Electronic Ac- cess to Unit Control Board. These features are:

additional control board diagnostics

electronic expansion board features (if installed)

control of the economizer damper and indoor fan to obtain unoccupied free cooling

365-day timeclock with backup (supports minute, hour, day, month, and year)

holiday table containing up to 18 holiday schedules

occupancy control with 8 periods for unit operation

support a set of display, maintenance, configuration, ser- vice, and set point data tables for interface with Building Supervisor, ComfortWORKS®, or Service Tool software or accessory remote enhanced display

CCN IAQ/OAQ (outdoor air quality) participation

When a VAV unit with a space temperature sensor is access- ed via a computer, the following additional features are available:

ability to initiate timed override from T-55 sensors

temperature compensated start to calculate early start time before occupancy

provide space temperature reset to reset the supply air set point upward when the temperature falls below the occu- pied cooling set point

An electronic expansion board may be field-installed to pro- vide the following features:

fan status

filter status

field-applied status

demand limiting

alarm light

fire unit shutdown

fire pressurization

fire evacuation

fire smoke purge

When the unit is connected to the CCN (Carrier Comfort Network), the following features can be utilized:

CCN demand limit participation

modulated power exhaust override

ability to use multiple space temperature sensors (multi- ples of 4 and 9 only) to average space temperature (CV and VAV only)

A field-supplied T-55 space temperature sensor can be add- ed to monitor room temperature and provide unoccupied over- ride capability (1 hour).

When the unit is equipped with a field-supplied space temperature sensor and a remote contact closure (remote start/stop) the occupied default set points will monitor unit

operation. The occupied default set points are 55 F (supply-air temperature) cooling and 68 F (return-air temperature) heating. See Fig. 26 for remote start/stop wiring.

NOTE: For units without a space temperature sensor and which have not had the base unit control board accessed via software to set an occupancy schedule, the remote start/stop closure will allow the unit to operate in the pre-configured occupied default set points of 55 F (supply-air temperature) cooling and 68 F (return-air temperature) heating. Without an occupancy schedule, the unit will control to the unoccupied default set points of 90 F (return-air temperature) cooling and 55 F (return-air temperature) heating.

Features with Network Applications — The base control board provides, as standard, a connection for use with a Carrier Comfort System and can also be integrated into a Carrier Com- fort Network (CCN). When the unit is accessed via a PC equipped with ComfortWORKS, Building Supervisor, or Ser- vice Tool software or Remote Enhanced Display accessory, the following features can be accessed:

on-board timeclock can be programmed

occupancy schedules can be programmed

unit set points can be changed

alarms can be monitored

This access is available on the base control board via a RJ-11 phone jack or a 3-wire connection to the communication bus. See Fig. 27. The internal timeclock has a 10-hour mini- mum back-up time to provide for unit power off for servicing unit or during unexpected power outages. For complete Carrier Comfort System (CCS) or Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) features and benefits, refer to the product literature.

Step 9 — Make Electrical Connections

POWER WIRING — Units are factory wired for the voltage shown on the unit nameplate.

When installing units, provide a disconnect per NEC (National Electrical Code) of adequate size (MOCP [maximum overcurrent protection] of unit is on the informative plate). All field wiring must comply with NEC and all local codes and re- quirements. Size wire based on MCA (minimum circuit amps) on the unit informative plate. See Fig. 28 for power wiring con- nections to the unit power terminal block and equipment ground.

The main power terminal block is suitable for use with alu- minum or copper wire. See Fig. 28. Units have circuit breakers for compressors, fan motors, and control circuit. If required by local codes, provide an additional disconnect switch. Whenev- er external electrical sources are used, unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in absence of local codes, with NEC, ANSI (American National Standards Insti- tute) C1-latest year.

FIELD POWER SUPPLY — Unit is factory wired for volt- age shown on unit nameplate. See Table 7 and 8 for electrical data.

Field wiring can be brought into the unit from bottom (through basepan and roof curb) or through side of unit (corner post next to control box).

A 31/2-in. NPT coupling for field power wiring and a 3/4-in. NPT coupling for 24-v control wiring are provided in basepan. In the side post, there are two 21/2-in. (48A020-030 and 48E024-034) or 3-in. (48A035-060 and 48E038-068) knock- outs for the field power wiring. See Fig. 5-16. If control wiring is to be brought in through the side of unit, a 7/8-in. diameter hole is provided in the condenser side post next to the control box.

If disconnect box is mounted to corner post, be careful not to drill any screws into the condenser coil.
