above the unit. Use 2-in. (50 mm) OD pipe or hooks in lift-  
ing holes. Rig with 4 cables and spreader bars. All panels  
must be in place when rigging. See rigging label on unit for  
details concerning shipping weights, distance between lift-  
ing holes, center of gravity, and spreader bar dimensions.  
See Fig. 2.  
If overhead rigging is not possible, place unit on skid or  
pad for rolling or dragging. When rolling, use minimum of  
3 rollers. When dragging, pull the pad. Do not apply force  
to the unit. When in final position, raise from above to lift  
unit off pad.

Placing Unit — There must be 4 ft (1220 mm) for ser-  
vice on all sides of unit, and a minimum of 8 ft (2440 mm)  
clear air space above unit. For multiple units, allow 8 ft  
(2440 mm) separation between units for airflow and service.  
Mounting Unit — When unit is in proper location, use  
of mounting holes in base rails is recommended for securing  
unit to supporting structure or for mounting unit on vibra-  
tion isolators, if required. Fasteners for mounting unit are  
field supplied. Be sure to mount unit level to ensure proper  
oil return to compressors.  
Compressor Mounting — As shipped, compressor  
is held down by 4 bolts. After unit is installed loosen each  
bolt using nut indicated in Fig. 3 until flatwasher (38 in.  
[9.5 mm]) can be moved with finger pressure.  
INSTALLATION  
Fig. 1 — 38AKS Units  
Refrigerant Piping Connections — Line sizes de-  
pend on length of piping required between condensing unit  
and evaporator. See Table 2A or 2B. It is important to con-  
sider liquid lift and compressor oil return. Refer to Part 3 of  
Carrier System Design Manual for line sizing information,  
and Fig. 4 for recommended piping details.  
Liquid Line Solenoid Drop Control — The factory-  
supplied solenoid valve must be installed at the indoor unit  
(fan coil) per Fig. 5, and wired per wiring label found on  
unit. The solenoid assures that system refrigerant is in the  
high-pressure side (condenser and liquid line) of the system  
during the off cycle. Refrigerant migration is minimized.  
Factory-supplied liquid line solenoid valve connecting sizes

are ⁄8-in. (22.2 mm) ODF for inlet and 8-in. (22.2 mm)  
ODM for outlet.  
NOTES:  
1. Use 2 in. OD (50 mm) pipe or hooks in lifting holes.  
2. Rig with 4 cables and spread with 2 ‘‘D’’ long and two ‘‘A’’ long  
2 x 4’s in. (50 x 100 mm) or equal.  
3. Run the rigging cables to a central suspension point so that the  
angle from the horizontal is not less than 45 degrees.  
Failure to properly install liquid line solenoid at the in-  
door unit as described, without Carrier authorization, may  
VOID warranty.  
Filter Drier and Moisture Indicator — Every unit  
should have a filter drier and a sight glass (moisture indi-  
cator) field installed. Select the filter drier for maximum unit  
capacity and minimum pressure drop. Figure 5 shows rec-  
ommended locations of filter drier(s) and sight glass. Com-  
plete the refrigerant piping from the evaporator to the con-  
denser before opening the liquid and suction lines at the  
condensing unit. One filter drier may be installed at location  
A in Fig. 5, or 2 filter driers may be installed at locations B.  
All panels must be in place when rigging.

Fig. 3 — Compressor Mounting  
Receiver — No receiver is provided with the unit; it is  
recommended that one not be used.  
Piping Procedure — Do not remove run-around pipe  
from suction and liquid line stubs until piping connections  
are ready to be made. Pass nitrogen or other inert gas through  
piping while brazing, to prevent formation of copper oxide.  
Install field-supplied thermostatic expansion valve (TXV)  
in liquid line ahead of each evaporator section. For 2-stage  
cooling, the field-supplied capacity control solenoid used must  
be wired to be opened by control from a 2-stage thermostat.  
SUCTION PIPING AT EVAPORATOR AND TXV BULB  
LOCATION (See Fig. 5) — The purpose of these recom-  
mendations is to achieve good mixing of the refrigerant leav-  
ing the evaporator suction header for proper sensing by the  
TXV bulb.  
1. A minimum of two 90° elbows must be installed up-  
stream of the expansion valve bulb location.  
2. The TXV sensing bulb should be located on a vertical  
riser where possible. If a horizontal location is necessary,  
secure the bulb at approximately the 4 o’clock position.  
TXV — Thermostatic Expansion Valve  
NOTES:  
1. Suction line is connected to coil on same side as the entering air.  
2. Lower section is first on and last off.  
3. For more complete piping information, refer to Carrier System  
Design Manual, Part 3.  
3. Size the suction line from the evaporator through the riser  
for high velocity. Enter the suction pipe sizing charts in  
the Carrier System Design Manual at design tons and equiva-  
lent length (for 2° F [1.1° C] loss). If reading falls be-  
tween 2 sizes on chart, choose the smaller pipe size.  
Fig. 4 — Suction Line Piping to Unit  
with 2 Section Coil Split  
Suction piping for the high velocity section should be  
selected for about 0.5° F (0.3° C) friction loss. If a 2° F  
(1.1° C) loss is allowed for the entire suction line, 1.5° F  
(0.8° C) is left for the balance of the suction line, and it should  
be sized on that basis. Check that the high-velocity sizing  
is adequate for oil return up the riser.  
If an oil return connection at the bottom of this suction  
header is supplied with an evaporator, this connection must  
be teed-in ahead of first mixing elbow. When the compres-  
sor is below the evaporator, the riser at the evaporator does  
not have to extend as high as the top level. After a  
15-diameter riser has been provided, the suction line may  
elbow down immediately.

SAFETY RELIEF — A fusible plug is located on unit liquid  
line before the liquid valve.

GENERAL WIRING NOTES  
*All other units use 2/0 AWG (67.4 mm2).  
1. A crankcase heater is wired in the control circuit so it is  
always operable as long as power supply disconnect is  
on, even if any safety device is open or unit stop-start  
switch is off. It is protected by a 5-amp circuit breaker in  
control power.  
5. Terminals for field power supply are suitable for copper,  
copper-clad aluminum, or aluminum conductors. Insula-  
tion must be rated 167 F (75 C) minimum.  
2. The power circuit field supply disconnect should never be  
open except when unit is being serviced or is to be down  
for a prolonged period. When operation is resumed, crank-  
case heater should be energized for 24 hours before start-  
up. If unit is to be shut down for a prolonged period, it  
is recommended that the suction and discharge valves be  
CONDENSER FANS — The fans must rotate counterclock-  
wise when viewed from above. If necessary, correct direc-  
tion of fan rotation by interchanging any 2 power input wires  
at disconnect switch. Affix crankcase heater decal (located  
in installer’s packet) to unit disconnect switch.

The start-up of the compressor can occur between 3 seconds  
and approximately 5 minutes from the time the control cir-  
cuit is energized due to the anti-short cycle feature of the  
control module (CM).  
START-UP  
Initial Check  
Charge System — Actual start-up should be done only  
under supervision of a qualified refrigeration mechanic. Re-  
fer to charging charts.  
Do not attempt to start the condensing unit, even mo-  
mentarily, until the following steps have been com-  
pleted. Compressor damage may result.  
See Fig. 10-12 for the particular unit being charged. Mea-  
sure pressure at the liquid line service valve, being sure a  
Schrader depressor is used if required. Also, measure liquid  
line temperature as close to the liquid service valve as pos-  
sible. Add or reduce charge until the pressure and tempera-  
ture conditions of the charging charge curve are met. If liq-  
uid pressure and temperature point fall above curve, add charge.  
If liquid pressure and temperature point fall below curve,  
reduce the charge until the conditions match the curve.  
1. Check all auxiliary components, such as air-handling equip-  
ment, and other equipment. Consult the manufacturer’s  
instructions regarding any other equipment connected  
to the condensing unit. If used, airflow switch must be  
properly installed. See Fig. 8.  
2. Backseat (open) compressor suction and discharge valves.  
Close valves one turn to allow pressure to reach test gages.  
3. Open liquid line service valve.  
4. Set thermostat.  
5. Check tightness of all electrical connections.  
6. Compressor oil level should be visible in sight glass.  
See Service, Oil Charge section on page 19.  
7. Be sure unit is properly leak tested, dehydrated, and charged.  
See below.  
8. Electrical power source must agree with nameplate  
rating.  
Never charge liquid into the low-pressure side of sys-  
tem. Do not overcharge. During charging or removal of  
refrigerant, be sure indoor fan system is operating.  
Operation — Refer to control circuit diagram on the unit,  
or in the unit wiring book.  
Control Module (CM) — The unit control module is  
located in the control section of the control box. See  
Fig. 9A or 9B. It performs several functions. The CM has a  
built-in compressor anti-short-cycle timer which will not al-  
low the compressor to restart until 5 minutes (ϩ90 seconds/  
–75 seconds) have elapsed since the previous shutdown.  
9. Crankcase heater must be firmly locked into compres-  
sor crankcase. Be sure crankcase is warm (heater should  
be on for 24 hours before starting compressor).  
10. Be sure compressor floats freely on the mounting springs.  
See Compressor Mounting section on page 2 and Fig. 3  
for loosening compressor bolts.  
The compressor oil pressure is monitored through the CM.  
The unit is allowed to remain operational as long as the oil  
pressure safety switch (OPS) has not been open for more  
than 2 minutes after the compressor has started. If after start-  
up, the OPS is open for more than 2 minutes, the CM shuts  
down the compressor and places the unit in a lockout con-  
dition. The CM activates the fault indication circuit, and the  
field-supplied unit service lamp is illuminated (if so equipped).  
The unit cannot be restarted until power is interrupted at the  
unit, resetting the CM. The 5-minute recycle time relay is  
initiated.  
The CM also monitors the high-pressure switch (HPS) and  
compressor thermal protection. If at any time the HPS opens,  
the CM shuts down the compressor and places the unit in a  
lockout condition. The CM activates the fault indication cir-  
cuit, and the field-supplied unit service lamp is illuminated  
(if so equipped). The unit cannot be restarted until the HPS  
is reset and until power is interrupted at the unit, resetting  
the CM. The 5-minute recycle time relay is initiated.  
Leak Test and Dehydration — Leak test the entire  
refrigerant system by the pressure method described in the  
Carrier Training Booklet; GTAC II, Module 4 - System  
Dehydration.  
Preliminary Charge — Refer to Carrier Training Book-  
let; GTAC II, Module 5 for charging methods and proce-  
dures. Charge system with approximately 25 lbs (11.3 kg) of  
R-22 by the liquid charging method (charging through liq-  
uid service valve), on the high side, and charging by weight.  
Charge per Fig. 10-12.  
Start Unit — Close field disconnect. Set thermostat above  
ambient temperature so that there is no demand for cooling.  
Now, only the crankcase heater is energized. After the heater  
has been on for 24 hours, the unit can be started. If no time  
has elapsed since the preliminary charge step has been com-  
pleted, it is unnecessary to wait the 24-hour period.  
Close the compressor circuit breaker, then reset the in-  
door thermostat below ambient temperature, so that a call  
for cooling is ensured.  
If the unit shuts down on an automatic reset switch, such  
as the low-pressure switch (LPS), the compressor will be al-  
lowed to restart when the switch recloses and the CM anti-  
short-cycle time has elapsed.  
NOTE: Do not use the compressor circuit breaker to start  
and stop compressor, except in an emergency.

FOR SERVICING ONLY — To speed up the 5-minute anti-  
short cycle, a temporary jumper may be placed between ter-  
minals T1 and T6 of the control module.  
Complete Unit Stoppage  
CAUSES — Interruption of supplied power, compressor over-  
temperature protection, or open HPS causes compressor  
stoppage.  
RESTART — The unit recycles and restarts automatically  
under the CM when power is restored. Stoppage by HPS, or  
compressor circuit breaker requires manual resetting of the  
control circuit. To restart the CM timer when HPS is tripped,  
it is necessary to interrupt power to the unit, restarting the  
CM logic. It is necessary to manually reset the compressor  
circuit breaker at the unit.  
If LPS is not closed within 2 minutes after compressor  
starts, the compressor locks out and the outdoor fans con-  
tinue to run. It stays locked out for 5 minutes until the CM  
anti-short cycle timer expires. After 5 minutes, the LPS is  
bypassed by the BPR (winter start control). It remains jum-  
pered for 2 minutes. Because the LPS is jumpered, the com-  
pressor restarts and runs for the 2-minute time period. At  
the end of this 2 minutes, if the LPS has still not closed, the  
compressor is again locked out. The outdoor fans continue  
to run as long as there is a call for cooling. Automatic reset  
of the LPS causes the CM to recycle so that the compressor  
can start.  
This jumper must be removed after servicing is com-  
plete. Failure to remove this jumper is considered abu-  
sive treatment and will void the Carrier warranty.  
Bypass Relay (BPR) — All units are equipped with a  
BPR located in the control section of the control box. See  
Fig. 9Aor 9B. The function of the BPR is to provide a 2-minute  
bypass of the LPS at start-up, and to energize the unload-  
er(s) at start-up to provide unloaded compressor starting. Two  
minutes after the compressor starts, the BPR completes its  
function and is no longer active in the control circuit until  
the next restart of the unit.  
Time-Delay Relay (TDR) (50 Hz Only) — This solid-  
state delay-on-make relay is factory set for a 1-second delay.  
The number 1 dip switch is set to the ON position, and all  
the other dip switches are set to the OFF position. Once the  
control relay (CR) is energized, the compressor contactor C1  
is powered, and the first set of compressor windings is en-  
ergized. After the 1-second time delay, contactor C1A is pow-  
ered and the second set of compressor windings is energized  
(part-wind start).  
If sufficient compressor oil pressure has not been built within  
2 minutes after the compressor starts, the unit is completely  
deenergized until the oil pressure switch is manually reset at  
the unit.  
Sequence of Operation — When space thermostat  
calls for cooling, the no. 1 condenser fan and compressor  
start after CM initial time delay of 3 (ϩ2/–1) seconds. If an  
optional airflow switch is used, compressor and no. 1 con-  
denser fan will not start until sufficient indoor airflow has  
closed the switch. After 3 seconds the compressor starts and  
the liquid line solenoid valve for solenoid drop control opens.  
The crankcase heater is deenergized. If the head pressure reaches  
260 psig (1792 kPa) the second condenser fan starts. Fan  
no. 3 (38AKS044 only) starts if outdoor ambient air rises  
above 80 F (26.7 C).  
If unit or circuit stoppage occurs more than once due to  
any safety device, the trouble should be corrected be-  
fore any attempt to restart.  
SERVICE  
If cooling demand is low, suction pressure at the com-  
pressor drops. As the pressure drops, the compressor un-  
loads 2 banks of cylinders as required. If cooling demand is  
high and 2-stage operation is used, the second stage of the  
thermostat activates the capacity control liquid line solenoid  
which activates the second stage evaporator coil. The com-  
pressor cylinders load or unload in response to compressor  
suction pressure to meet evaporator load.  
Two minutes after compressor starts, the BPR timer is deen-  
ergized and the LPS bypass is deactivated. If the LPS trips  
during the first 2 minutes of operation, the compressor will  
remain operational. If the LPS trips after 2 minutes, the com-  
pressor operation is interrupted, and the compressor cannot  
restart until the 5-minute CM anti-short cycle timer expires.  
As the space cooling load is satisfied, the second stage of  
the thermostat opens, and closes the field-supplied capacity  
control liquid line solenoid valve to deactivate the second  
stage coil. The compressor adjusts the number of active cyl-  
inders to meet the new load. When the space temperature is  
satisfied, the first stage of the thermostat opens and the con-  
trol relay and the BPR open. This closes the solenoid drop  
control valve. The compressor stops and the crankcase heater  
is energized, preventing refrigerant from migrating to the com-  
pressor during the off cycle (solenoid drop refrigerant con-  
trol). The CM anti-short cycling timer is energized and runs  
for approximately 5 minutes. During this time, the compres-  
sor is not able to restart.  
Turn off all power to unit before proceeding.  
Access for Servicing (See Fig. 13)  
COMPRESSOR SECTION — The compressor compart-  
ment has 2 side access panels and one front door for ser-  
vicing, providing access to compressor, all components of  
the refrigerant system, electrical controls, and control box.  
After opening front door there is an inner cover that must be  
removed for access to control box (except 208/230-v and  
460-v units).  
OIL PRESSURE SAFETY SWITCH — Switch is manually  
reset, and accessed by removing the side access panel on the  
left side of the unit (as viewed from the compressor end).  
See Fig. 13. The OPS is found in the compressor junction  
box. Open the compressor circuit breaker prior to removing  
the compressor junction box cover in order to access the OPS.  
The liquid line service valve can be found behind the side  
access door on the right side of the unit (as viewed from the  
compressor end).  
CONDENSER SECTION — Condenser fan motors and fans  
can be serviced by removal of outlet grilles or side panels.  
If a fan motor is serviced, be sure the wire fan guard is in  
place over each fan before starting unit. See Fig. 14 for proper  
fan adjustment. Tighten fan hub securely on motor shaft with  
setscrew which bears against the key. Be sure to replace Per-  
magum and rubber cap over end of motor shaft to protect  
against moisture causing fan to rust on shaft.

Fan Adjustment — Adjust fan as shown in Fig. 14.  
Capacity Control — Capacity control is by 2 suction  
pressure actuated unloaders. Each controls 2 cylinders. Un-  
loaders are factory set (see Table 1A or 1B) but may be field  
adjusted. Number 1 unloader is on cylinder bank on same  
side of compressor as terminal box.  
CONTROL SET POINT — The control set point (cylinder  
load point) is adjustable from 0 to 85 psig (0 to 586 kPag).  
To adjust, turn control set point adjustment nut (Fig. 15) clock-  
wise to its bottom stop. In this position, set point is  
85 psig (586 kPag). Then, turn adjustment counterclockwise  
to desired control set point. Every full turn counterclock-  
wise decreases set point by 7.5 psig (52 kPag).  
NOTE: Dimension in ( ) is in millimeters.

When additional oil or a complete charge is required, use  
only Carrier-approved compressor oil:  
Petroleum Specialities Inc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Cryol 150  
Texaco, Inc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Capella WF-32  
Witco Chemical Corp. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Suniso 3 GS  
IMPORTANT: Do not use drained oil or use oil that  
has been exposed to atmosphere. Refer to Carrier Train-  
ing Booklet, GTAC II, Module 5, for procedures to  
add oil. To remove oil, isolate the compressor, reclaim  
internal compressor charge, and use the compressor drain  
plug.  
Fig. 15 — Capacity Control Valve  
PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL — The pressure differential  
(difference between cylinder load and unload points) is ad-  
justable from 6 to 22 psig (41 to 152 kPag). To adjust, turn  
pressure differential adjustment screw (Fig. 15) counter-  
clockwise to its backstop position. In this position, differ-  
ential is 6 psig (41 kPag). Then, turn adjustment clockwise  
to desired pressure differential. Every full turn clockwise in-  
creases differential by 1.5 psig (10 kPag).  
Liquid Shutoff/Charging Valve — Valve is located  
inside the compressor compartment and is provided with  
1
4-in. flare connection for field charging.

Oil Pressure Safety Switch (OPS) — The OPS in  
the control circuit stops the compressor and unit, if proper  
oil pressure differential is not established at start-up or main-  
tained during operation. If OPS stops the unit, determine the  
cause and correct before restarting unit. Failure to do so will  
constitute abuse. Equipment failure due to abuse may void  
the warranty.  
Head Pressure Control — Control maintains ad-  
equate discharge pressure under low ambient temperature con-  
ditions. See Table 5.  
FAN CYCLING — These 38AKS units have standard pro-  
vision for fully automatic intermediate-season head pressure  
control through condenser fan cycling. Fan no. 2 is cycled  
by a fan cycling pressure switch (FCPS) which responds to  
variation in discharge pressure. The pressure sensor is lo-  
cated in the liquid line of the refrigerant circuit. Fan no. 3  
cycling is controlled by outdoor-air temperature through an  
air temperature switch (ATS) (38AKS044 units only).  
Compressor Protection  
CIRCUIT BREAKER — Calibrated trip manual reset, am-  
bient compensated, magnetic breaker protects against motor  
overload and locked rotor conditions.  
CONTROL MODULE TIMER — This control protects com-  
pressor against short cycling. See Sequence of Operation on  
page 17.
