Carrier 48VT-A Electrical Controls and Wiring, Refrigerant Circuit, Unit Panels, Condensate Drain

Condensate Drain

The drain pan and condensate drain line should be checked and cleaned at the same time the cooling coils are checked by your dealer.

Compressor

All compressors are factory shipped with a normal charge of the correct type and quantity of refrigeration grade oil. A compressor should rarely require additional oil.

Condenser (Outdoor) Fan

!WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY AND UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or property damage.

Do not insert sticks, screwdrivers, or any other objects into revolving fan blades.

The fan must be kept free of all obstructions to ensure proper cooling. Contact your dealer for any required service.

Electrical Controls and Wiring

Electrical controls are difficult to check without proper instrumentation. If there are any discrepancies in the operating cycle, contact your local dealer and request service.

Refrigerant Circuit

The refrigerant circuit is difficult to check for leaks without the proper equipment. If inadequate cooling is suspected, contact your local dealer for service.

!WARNING

EXPLOSION, BURN AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or property damage.

System under pressure. Relieve pressure and recover all refrigerant before system repair or final unit disposal. Use all service ports and open all flow-control devices, including solenoid valves.

Unit Panels

After performing any maintenance or service on the unit, be sure all panels are fastened securely in place to prevent rain from entering unit cabinet and to prevent disruption of the correct unit airflow pattern.

Combustion Area and Vent System

For proper and safe operation, the furnace needs air for combustion and ventilation. The air openings, on the furnace, the air openings to the area in which the furnace is installed, and the spacing around the furnace must not be blocked or obstructed.

The combustion area and vent system should be inspected visually before each heating season. The normal accumulation of dirt, soot, rust, and scale can result in loss of efficiency and improper performance if allowed to build up. This inspection should be done by a trained service person.

!WARNING

FIRE, EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death and/or property damage.

If your unit makes an especially loud noise when the main burners are ignited, shut down the heating section and call your dealer.

!CAUTION

BURN HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.

Components in heating section may be hot after unit has been started up. When observing flame, be careful not to get close to or touch heating components.

Regular Dealer Maintenance

In addition to the type of routine maintenance you might be willing to perform, your unit should be inspected regularly by a properly trained service technician. An inspection (preferably each year, but at least every other year) should include the following:

1.Inspection of all flue product passages-including the burn- ers, heat exchanger, and flue collector box, Mare sure the burner flames are blue in color and in proper adjustment. Refer to Fig. 11 for burner flame.

2.Inspection of all combustion-and ventilation-air passages and openings.

3.Close inspection of all gas pipes leading to and inside of your unit.

4.Inspection and, if required, cleaning of the outdoor and indoor coils.

5.Inspection and, if required, cleaning of the indoor coil con- densate drain pan.

6.Inspection and cleaning of blower wheel housing and motor.

7.Inspection of all supply-air and return-air ducts for leaks, obstructions, and insulation integrity. Any problems found should be resolved at this time.

8.Inspection of the unit base to ensure that no cracks, gaps, etc., exist which may cause a hazardous condition.

9.Inspection of the unit casing for signs of deterioration.

10.Inspection of all electrical wiring and components to assure proper connection.

11.Inspection for leaks in the refrigerant circuit. Pressure and temperature check to determine appropriate refrigerant charge.

12.Operational check of the unit to determine working conditions. Repair or adjustment should be made at this time.

Your servicing dealer may offer an economical service contract that covers seasonal inspections. Ask for further details.

Complete service instructions can be found in the unit Installation, Start-up and Service Instructions.
