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 (3⁄8 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.

NOTE: All dimensions are in inches (mm).
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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.
