INSTALLATION  
Step 1 — Inspect Shipment — Inspect unit for dam-  
age upon arrival. If damage is found, immediately file a claim  
with the shipping company. Verify proper unit delivery by  
checking unit nameplate data and the model number nomen-  
clature shown in Fig. 1. See Tables 1-4 for unit physical data.  
• LONG LINE APPLICATIONS  
• HOT GAS BYPASS  
Step 2 — Rig and Place Unit — All units are de-  
signed for overhead rigging, and it is important that this meth-  
od be used. Lifting holes are provided in the frame base rails. It  
is recommended to use shackles in the lifting holes (see rigging  
label on the unit and Table 5, and Fig. 2 and 3 for rigging  
weights and center of gravity). All panels must be in place  
when rigging.

• POWER WIRING  
• CONTROL POWER  
• FIELD CONTROL WIRING  
IMPORTANT: To maintain unit stability while lifting,  
use 4 cables, chains or straps of equal length. Attach one  
end of each cable to shackle attachment point and the  
other end of each cable to the overhead rigging point.  
Step 5 — Install Accessories . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34  
• LOW-AMBIENT OPERATION  
• MISCELLANEOUS ACCESSORIES  
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS  
Use spreader bars or frame to keep the cables, chains, and  
straps clear of the unit sides. Leave standard coil protection  
packaging in place during rigging to provide protection to  
coils. Remove and discard all coil protection after rigging ca-  
bles are detached.  
Installing, starting up, and servicing this equipment can be  
hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components, and  
equipment location (roofs, elevated structures, etc.).  
Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics  
should install, start up, and service this equipment.  
CAUTION  
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func-  
tions, such as cleaning coils. All other operations should be  
performed by trained service personnel.  
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in the  
literature, and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the  
equipment and any other safety precautions that may apply.  
All panels must be in place when rigging. Failure to com-  
ply could result in equipment damage.  
CAUTION  
Follow all safety codes.  
For unit sizes 025 to 060 when handling with a forklift,  
handle only through fork pocket holes. Failure to follow  
this caution could result in equipment damage or personal  
injury.  
Wear safety glasses and work gloves.  
Use care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky  
equipment.  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
Open all remote disconnects before servicing this equip-  
ment. Failure to do so could result in personal injury from  
electric shock.  
For unit sizes 070 to 100, do not forklift the unit unless unit  
is attached to a skid designed for forklifting. Failure to fol-  
low this caution could result in equipment damage or per-  
sonal injury.  
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

SIZE REFRIGERANT LINES — Consider the length of pip-  
ing required between the condensing unit and indoor unit  
(evaporator), the amount of liquid lift, and compressor oil re-  
turn. Suction and liquid lines should be sized in accordance  
with Table 7. Double suction risers may be required if con-  
densing unit is located above the evaporator to assure proper  
oil return at minimum load operating conditions. See Table 7  
and Fig. 12. Note the indoor unit installtion instructions for ad-  
ditional information.  
Step 3 — Make Refrigerant Piping  
Connections  
CAUTION  
Do NOT bury refrigerant piping underground. Failure to  
comply could result in equipment damage.  
The units have large suction lines to minimize friction loss-  
es. The units also have the ability to operate at low capacity.  
Because of these capabilities, use special care with suction pip-  
ing and suction risers to ensure proper compressor oil return  
under all operating conditions. If the evaporator is above the  
condensing unit, the maximum allowable vertical separation  
between the condensing unit and the evaporator is 75 ft  
(22.9 m) for all units. Size suction lines in accordance with  
Table 7 and Fig. 12.  
CAUTION  
The field-supplied liquid line solenoid valve must be  
installed at the evaporator to avoid possible compressor  
damage during unit operation if the maximum allowable  
evaporator size is exceeded per Table 8. See Fig. 13 (for  
38APD025-100 dual-circuit units), or Fig. 14 (for  
38APS025-050 single-circuit units).

LIQUID LINE SOLENOID VALVE — Field-supplied  
liquid line solenoid valve(s) must be installed at the evaporator  
if coil surface area is exceeded per Table 8. Install liquid line  
solenoid valve just ahead of the TXVs (thermostatic expansion  
valves) which will be mounted at the evaporator. See Fig. 13  
(for 38APD025-100 dual-circuit units), or Fig. 14 (for  
38APS025-050 single-circuit units). Refer to Table 6.  
HOT GAS BYPASS — Hot gas bypass is not recommended.  
If hot gas bypass is used, it should be introduced before the  
evaporator.  
FINAL CONNECTION AND LEAK TEST  
CAUTION  
THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVES — All 38AP  
units must be installed with 5% bleed TXVs to ensure proper  
unit operation.  
To achieve good mixing of the refrigerant leaving the evap-  
orator suction header for proper sensing by the TXV bulb:  
1. Install a minimum of two 90-degree elbows upstream  
of the TXV bulb location. See Fig. 15 for dual-circuit  
units and Fig. 16 for single-circuit units.  
2. Locate the TXV bulb on a vertical riser, where possi-  
ble. If a horizontal location is necessary, secure the  
bulb at approximately the 4 o’clock position.  
If an oil return connection is located at the bottom of the  
evaporator suction header, tee-in this connection ahead of first  
mixing elbow. See Fig. 15 (for dual-circuit units) or Fig. 16  
(for single-circuit units). When the compressor is below the  
evaporator, the riser at the evaporator should extend to the top  
of the evaporator section. After the riser is installed, the suction  
line can elbow down immediately. Refer to the evaporator  
product data for sizing information.  
LIQUID LINE FILTER DRIER — Installation of a field-  
supplied filter drier and sight glasses in each refrigerant circuit  
is required. Select the filter drier for maximum unit capacity  
and minimum pressure drop. Figure 13 (for dual-circuit units)  
or Fig. 14 (for single-circuit units) shows required location of  
solenoid valves and recommended locations for the filter driers  
and sight glasses. Complete the refrigerant piping from the  
evaporator to the condenser before opening the liquid and suc-  
tion lines at the condenser. Refer to Table 6.  
The 38AP unit is shipped with a nitrogen holding charge.  
Use caution when relieving unit pressure to avoid possible  
equipment damage or personal injury.  
Relieve the pressure caused by the nitrogen holding charge.  
Connect liquid line and suction line to field piping. Refer to  
Fig. 5-8 for circuit orientation.  
IMPORTANT: Protect the liquid and suction service  
valves from the heat of brazing. Schrader valve cores  
must be removed from the liquid and suction service  
valves before brazing in field connection piping to avoid  
damage. Reinsert cores after brazing is completed.  
The refrigerant system must not be opened and exposed to  
atmosphere for longer than 15 minutes. Connection and pump-  
down should be made as soon as possible to avoid acids  
forming in the compressor POE (polyolester) oils, which could  
damage the compressors.  
Leak test the entire system by using soap bubbles and nitro-  
gen or R-410A and an electronic leak detector.  
Purge nitrogen or recover R-410A from system after com-  
pletion of leak-checking procedure. Repair leak if one is found.  
When finished, evacuate and dehydrate system using the fol-  
lowing method.  
EVACUATION AND DEHYDRATION — Because the  
38AP systems use polyolester oil, which can absorb moisture,  
it is important to minimize the amount of time that the system  
interior is left exposed to the atmosphere. Minimizing the  
exposure time of the oil to the atmosphere will minimize the  
amount of moisture that needs to be removed during  
evacuation.  
Once all of the piping connections are complete, leak test  
the unit and then pull a deep dehydration vacuum. Connect the  
vacuum pump to the charging valve in the suction line and to  
the liquid line service valve. For best results, it is recommended  
that a vacuum of at least 500 microns (0.5 mm Hg) be ob-  
tained. Afterwards, to ensure that no moisture is present in the  
system, perform a standing vacuum-rise test.  
With the unit in deep vacuum (500 microns or less), isolate  
the vacuum pump from the system. Observe the rate-of-rise of  
the vacuum in the system. If the vacuum rises by more than  
50 microns in a 30-minute time period, then continue the dehy-  
dration process. Maintain a vacuum on the system until the  
standing vacuum requirement is met. This will ensure a dry  
system.  
CAUTION  
For all units with liquid lines of 100 ft (30.5 m) or more or  
any 025-030 size dual circuit unit application where evapo-  
rator is located higher than the condensing unit and liquid  
lines exceed 55 feet (16.8 m), a long line option kit must be  
installed to prevent compressor failure. The long line  
option kit must be mounted in the liquid line near the con-  
densing unit. See Fig. 17.  
LONG LINE APPLICATIONS — A long line option kit  
must be installed for:  
1. Any 025-030 size dual circuit unit where the evapora-  
tor is located higher than the condensing unit and the  
linear line length exceeds 55 ft (16.8 m).  
2. Any size dual or single circuit unit with linear line  
length of 100 ft (30.5 m) or more.  
By following these evacuation and dehydration procedures,  
the amount of moisture present in the system will be mini-  
mized. It is required that liquid line filter driers be installed be-  
tween the condenser(s) and the expansion devices to capture  
any foreign debris and provide additional moisture removal ca-  
pacity. Be sure to consider the pressure drop of the filter drier  
when determining piping requirements.  
The kit consists of a liquid line check valve and a bypass  
check valve to prevent charge migration to compressor. The  
long line option kit must be mounted in the liquid line near the  
condensing unit. The kit may be mounted in any orientation,  
horizontally or vertically. See Fig. 17 for orientation and  
Fig. 11 for location.

CONTROL POWER — Control power is obtained from the  
main power supply and does NOT require a separate source. A  
toggle switch (marked Emergency On-Off on the unit label  
diagram and by the switch) allows the control circuit to be  
manually disconnected when necessary. Crankcase heaters are  
in an operable state when this switch is in the Off position. All  
field control wiring must comply with applicable local and  
national codes.  
Step 4 — Make Electrical Connections  
WARNING  
Before performing service or maintenance operations on  
unit, turn off main power switch to unit. Electrical shock  
could cause personal injury.  
IMPORTANT: When starting up this equipment for  
operation, be sure to check tightness of all electrical ter-  
minal connections, clamps, screws, etc., as they may  
have become loose during shipment. It is also advisable  
to re-tighten all electrical connections after equipment  
has been in operation and components have reacted to  
operating temperature.  
IMPORTANT: For 208-v systems, the connection tap  
for all transformers must be changed. The factory  
default setting is for 230-v. Failure to connect to the  
proper tap may result in unreliable operation.  
FIELD CONTROL WIRING — The standard unit control is  
microprocessor based which supports multiple control  
configurations. See Fig. 19 for EAT (evaporator air tempera-  
ture sensor) and SAT (supply air temperature sensor) layout.  
Figures 20-24 show specific field wiring, depending on unit  
configuration and desired control requirements.  
POWER SUPPLY — The electrical characteristics of the  
available power supply must agree with the unit nameplate  
rating. Supply voltage must be within the limits shown in  
Tables 9-12. See Table 13 for incoming power options.  
Constat Volume Application Control Options  
IMPORTANT: Operating unit on improper supply  
voltage or with excessive phase imbalance constitutes  
abuse and may adversely affect Carrier warranty.

POWER WIRING — All power wiring must comply with  
applicable local and national codes. Install field-supplied  
branch circuit fused disconnect per NEC (National Electrical  
Code, U.S.A) of a type that can be locked OFF or OPEN. Dis-  
connect must be within sight and readily accessible from the  
unit in compliance with NEC Article 440-14.  
General Wiring Notes:  
1. The control circuit does NOT require a separate power  
source. Control circuit power is obtained by a step-down  
transformer from the main three-phase power supply. Be  
sure that the appropriate connection tap is connected on  
all transformers for the supply voltage.  
2. A low-voltage terminal strip (LVT) is provided for  
field-wired control devices.  
NOTE: The field-supplied disconnect should never be off  
except when unit is being serviced or is to be down for a pro-  
longed period.  
Variable Air Volume Application Control Options  
1. Discharge-air temperature control requires installation  
of supply-air temperature sensor and return-air  
temperature sensor (Part No. 33ZCSENSAT). Refer to  
Fig. 23.  
2. Interface with building automation system may require  
EMM (energy management module) or translator  
accessory. Refer to Fig. 23.  
Energy Management Module (EMM) Option — The EMM  
is available for factory or field installation. See Fig. 24 for  
EMM field wiring.  
3. Power entry is at one end only.  
4. All field power enters the unit through a hole located in  
the corner post of the unit or the bottom of the control box  
shelf. Refer to Fig. 18 for field power wiring details. Re-  
fer to Fig. 5-8 for exact location of field power entry.  
5. Terminals for field power supply are suitable only for  
copper conductors. Insulation must be rated 75 C

NOTES:  
1. Units are suitable for use on electrical systems where voltage supplied to  
the unit terminals is not below or above the listed minimum and maximum  
limits. Maximum allowable phase imbalance is: voltage 2%; amps 10%.  
2. All units or modules have single point primary power connection. Main  
power must be supplied from a field-supplied disconnect.  
3. For MCA that is less than or equal to 380 amps, 3 conductors are  
required.  
For MCA between 381 and 760 amps, 6 conductors are required.  
Calculation of conductors required is based on 75 C copper wire.

1. Units are suitable for use on electrical systems where voltage  
supplied to the unit terminals is not below or above the listed  
minimum and maximum limits. Maximum allowable phase  
imbalance is: voltage 2%; amps 10%.  
2. All units or modules have single point primary power connec-  
tion. Main power must be supplied from a field-supplied  
disconnect.  
3. For MCA that is less than or equal to 380 amps, 3 conductors  
are required.  
For MCA between 381 and 760 amps, 6 conductors are  
required.  
Calculation of conductors required is based on 75 C copper  
wire.
