Carrier 48TC**16 Smoke Detectors, System, Controller Assembly, Sensor Module

48TC**16

To wire the return air enthalpy sensor, perform the following:

1.Use a 2-conductor, 18 or 20 AWG, twisted pair cable to connect the return air enthalpy sensor to the en- thalpy controller.

2.Connect the field-supplied RED wire to (+) spade con- nector on the return air enthalpy sensor and the (+) ter- minal on the enthalpy controller. Connect the BLK wire to (-) spade connector on the return air enthalpy sensor and the (-) terminal on the enthalpy controller.

Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors are available as factory-installed options on 48TC**16 units. Smoke detectors may be specified for Supply Air only or for Return Air without or with economizer or in combination of Supply Air and Return Air. Return Air smoke detectors are arranged for vertical return configurations only. All components necessary for operation are factory-provided and mounted. The unit is factory-configured for immediate smoke detector shutdown operation; additional wiring or modifications to unit terminal board may be necessary to complete the unit and smoke detector configuration to meet project requirements.

Units equipped with factory-optional Return Air smoke detectors require a relocation of the sensor module at unit installation. See “Completing Installation of Return Air Smoke Sensor:” on page 37 for details.

System —

The smoke detector system consists of a four-wire controller and one or two sensors. Its primary function is to shut down the rooftop unit in order to prevent smoke from circulating throughout the building. It is not to be used as a life saving device.

Duct smoke sensor

Controller —

The controller (see Fig. 81) includes a controller housing, a printed circuit board, and a clear plastic cover. The controller can be connected to one or two compatible duct smoke sensors. The clear plastic cover is secured to the housing with a single captive screw for easy access to the wiring terminals. The controller has three LEDs (for Power, Trouble and Alarm) and a manual test/reset button, all located on the cover face.

Sensor Module —

The sensor module (see Fig. 82) includes a plastic housing, a printed circuit board, a clear plastic cover, a sampling tube inlet and an exhaust tube. The sampling tube (when used) and exhaust tube are attached during installation. The sampling tube varies in length depending on the size of the rooftop unit. The clear plastic cover permits visual inspections without having to disassemble the sensor. The cover attaches to the sensor housing using four captive screws and forms an airtight chamber around the sensing
