Carrier 50EW, 50EJ, 50EY, 50EK installation instructions Ð Cooling Charging Chart Sizes

Crankcase Heater Ð Each compressor has a crankcase heater to prevent absorption of liquid refrigerant by oil in the crank- case when the compressor is idle. Since power for the crank- case heaters is drawn from the unit incoming power, main unit power must be on for the heaters to be energized.

IMPORTANT: After a prolonged shutdown or serv- ice job, energize the crankcase heaters for 24 hours before starting the compressors.

EVAPORATOR-FAN MOTOR PROTECTION Ð A man- ual reset, calibrated trip, magnetic circuit breaker protects against overcurrent. Do not bypass connections or increase the size of the breaker to correct trouble. Determine the cause and correct it before resetting the breaker. If the evaporator- fan motor is replaced with a different horsepower motor, re- sizing of the circuit breaker is required. Contact Carrier Ap- plication Engineering.

CONDENSER-FAN MOTOR PROTECTION Ð Each condenser-fan motor is internally protected against overtemperature.

HIGH- AND LOW-PRESSURE SWITCHES Ð If either switch trips, or if the compressor overtemperature switch ac- tivates, that refrigerant circuit will be automatically locked out. To reset, manually move the thermostat setting.

FREEZE PROTECTION THERMOSTAT (FPT) Ð An FPT is located on the evaporator coil for each circuit. It detects frost build-up and turns off the compressor, allowing the coil to clear. Once the frost has melted, the compressor can be reenergized.

Relief Devices Ð All units have relief devices to pro- tect against damage from excessive pressures (i.e., ®re). These devices are installed on the suction line, liquid line, and on the compressor.

Control Circuit, 24-V Ð This control circuit is pro- tected against overcurrent by a 3.2-amp circuit breaker (CB4). Breaker can be reset. If it trips, determine cause of trouble before resetting.

Control Circuit, 115-V Ð This control circuit is pro- tected against overcurrent by a 5.0-amp circuit breaker (CB3). Breaker can be reset. If it trips, determine cause of trouble before resetting.

Compressor Lockout Logic Ð If any of the safe- ties trip, the circuit will automatically reset (providing the safety has reset) and restart the compressor in 15 minutes. If any of the safeties trip 3 times within a 90-minute period, then the circuit will be locked out and will require manual resetting by turning off either the unit disconnect or the con- trol circuit breaker, or opening the thermostat.

Replacement Parts Ð A complete list of replacement parts may be obtained from any Carrier distributor upon request.
