Step 4 — Check Unit Operation and Make Necessary Adjustments

NOTE: Gas pressure must not be less than 5 in. wg or greater than 13 in. wg at the unit connection.

1.Remove pressure tap plug from manifold pipe and connect a pressure gage or manometer.

2.Turn on electrical supply.

3.Open the manual shutoff valve on the gas supply pip- ing. Check pipe connection to main gas valve for leaks.

4.Set the switch on the main gas valve to the ON position.

5.Call for high stage heat (W2 energized). The unit may require several ignition attempts due to trapped air in the manifold pipe.

6.When main burners ignite check orifice fittings for leaks. Repair if necessary.

Never use a match or other open flame to check for leaks. Use a soap and water solution. Fire or serious injury could result.

If unit is equipped with a 2-stage gas valve, ensure valve has energized second stage (high fire) before adjusting manifold pressure. Improper manifold pressures may cause explosion or injury.

7.Verify that manifold pressure is between 2.7 and 3.0 in. wg while in high fire (W2 energized). Readjust pressure if necessary.

This unit is designed to operate at 3.0 in. wg (± 0.3 in. wg) manifold pressure at high fire. Exceeding this pressure will cause explosion or injury.

8.Shut down unit by turning down thermostat (units with electro-mechanical control) or putting unit in Service Test mode (units with ComfortLink™ control), shut- ting off manual gas valve, and shutting down power to unit.

48PG16 specifications

The Carrier 48PG16 is a high-efficiency, quiet, and reliable air conditioning unit designed for residential use. This model is part of Carrier's comprehensive range of air conditioning systems, known for their advanced technology and exceptional performance. The 48PG16 stands out due to its robust cooling capabilities, making it a popular choice for homeowners seeking a balance between comfort and energy efficiency.

One of the main features of the Carrier 48PG16 is its two-stage cooling system, which allows for enhanced temperature control. This system is designed to operate at both high and low capacities, significantly improving temperature consistency and comfort levels in your living space. The low-capacity operation is particularly effective during milder days when full cooling power is not necessary, leading to lower energy consumption.

The unit is equipped with a high-efficiency scroll compressor, which not only contributes to superior cooling performance but also operates quietly. Carrier has engineered this model to minimize noise levels, making it suitable for residential environments. With sound levels as low as 68 decibels, it provides comfort without the distraction of a noisy air conditioning unit.

In terms of energy efficiency, the 48PG16 boasts a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating that meets or exceeds industry standards. This efficiency translates to lower utility bills and a reduced carbon footprint, making it an environmentally friendly choice for consumers focused on sustainability. Additionally, the unit is designed with environmentally responsible R-410A refrigerant, which does not contribute to ozone depletion.

Another important characteristic of the Carrier 48PG16 is its durable construction. The unit features a galvanized steel cabinet with a powder-coated finish, designed to withstand the elements and reduce rusting over time. This durability ensures that the unit will provide reliable performance year after year.

Installation of the Carrier 48PG16 is straightforward, and it can be seamlessly integrated into existing HVAC systems. Its compatibility with smart thermostats further enhances user convenience, allowing homeowners to manage their cooling system remotely through mobile apps.

Overall, the Carrier 48PG16 is an impressive air conditioning model that combines advanced technologies and energy-efficient features to deliver outstanding comfort and performance. Its quiet operation, reliable efficiency, and durable construction make it an excellent investment for any homeowner looking to enhance their indoor environment while being mindful of energy consumption.
