Complete Outdoor Refrigerant Piping Connec-  
tions  
Follow the following general guidelines:  
1. Use refrigerant grade field – supplied tubing.  
Refer to Table 4 for the correct line sizes.  
2. Do not use less than 10 ft (93.05 m) of interconnecting  
tubing.  
!
CAUTION  
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD  
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment  
damage or improper operation.  
NOTE: Teflon Seal must face toward the outdoor heat pump unit.  
A09538  
If any section of pipe is buried, there must be a 6 in. (152.4  
mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on the outdoor  
unit. If more than the recommended length is buried,  
refrigerant may migrate to cooler, buried section during  
extended periods of system shutdown. This causes  
refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the  
compressor at start--up.  
Fig. 16 -- AccuRater Metering Device at Service  
Valve (Bypass Type Components),  
Heat Pump Systems Only  
NOTE: The Teflon seal on the piston should point towards the  
liquid service valve.  
The size of the factory supplied piston might have to  
adjusted for long line applications (over 80 ft / 24.4 m).  
Refer to the Duct Free Long Line Application Guide  
for additional information.  
When more than 80 ft (24.4 m) of interconnecting tubing is used,  
consult the Duct--Free Split System Long Line Application Guide  
for required accessories.  
3. On cooling only units, insulate the liquid line. On heat  
pumps, insulate both lines. A minimum of 1/2 inch foam  
pipe insulation is recommended.  
4. Run the refrigerant tubes as directly as possible and avoid  
unnecessary turns and bends.  
3. On 38HDR units, remove the plastic caps on the liquid and  
suction service valves. Braze the completed filter drier as-  
sembly (from Step 1) to the liquid service valve. On the  
38QRR unit, connect the completed filter drier assembly  
(from Step 1) to the piston cap.  
5. Suspend refrigerant tubes to avoid damage to insulation or  
tubes so they do not transmit vibration to the structure.  
4. Braze the field supplied line set to the filter drier assembly  
and to the suction valve.  
6. When passing refrigerant tubes through the wall, seal the  
opening so rain and insects do not enter the structure. Leave  
some slack in refrigerant tubes between structure and out-  
door unit to absorb vibration.  
5. Insulate any exposed areas between the filter drier and the  
liquid valve.

Complete Indoor Piping  
Connect Condensate Drain Line  
The piping to the indoor unit can be routed from the back, side and  
top. If the unit is being piped from the top or the side see note  
below.  
Observe all local sanitary codes when installing condensate drains.  
Refer to Fig. 23 for drain pipe connection from indoor unit.  
1. Use hard polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe material with nom-  
inal ID of 3/4 in. to connect at drain line. Use pipe insula-  
tion 1/4 in. thick, such as Armaflex insulation, on exposed  
piping inside the conditioned space.  
2. To insure regular flow of condensate water, the drain pipe  
should be pitched toward an open drain or sump at a down-  
ward slope of at least 1/4 in. per ft.  
3. If the drain piping is routed through the side of the unit, at-  
tach a field fabricated piece of sheet metal to support the  
drain pipe as shown in Fig. 23.  
1. On heat 40QAQ024 – 048, the cooling piston (indoor) is  
shipped in the factory installed metering device with the in-  
door unit. Use Table 6 to verify that you have the correct  
piston size for the system being installed.  
2. Run the line set and the control wiring from the outdoor to  
the indoor unit through the hole in the wall. Keep the piping  
general guidelines in mind.  
3. Cut the liquid and suction line to the correct length using a  
tube cutter.  
4. Remove the flare nuts from the indoor piping connections.  
Install them onto the liquid and suction lines and make flare  
connections.  
4. Attach drain pipe with nylon wire tie passing through hole  
as shown in Fig. 23.  
5. Apply a small amount of refrigerant oil to the flare connec-  
tion and tubing.  
6. Align the tubing with the refrigerant connections on the in-  
door unit.  
7. Tighten the flare nut and finish the installation using two  
wrenches as shown in Fig. 22.  
NOTE: When piping is being routed from the top or side, two  
pipe adaptors are supplied with the unit. Flare the pipe  
adaptors to the indoor unit connections and sweat the other  
ends to the line set.  
(Field Fabricated)  
A09534  
Fig. 23 -- Routing Drain Piping  
A07354  
Fig. 22 -- Tighten Flare Nut  
NOTE: Do not fasten nylon wire ties tight enough to deform the  
insulation, as this affects performance.  
8. Insulate both connections on the 38QRR and the liquid line  
connection on the 38HDR units.  
5. Install an external trap at the end of the condensate line.  
NOTE: Should the installation require one, a condensate pump  
may be ordered as a fields--installed accessory. It is easier to install  
pump before hanging the unit.

2. Route line power leads from inside disconnect to the fan  
coil. Place wire through the whole on the control box.  
3. Connect wire to high voltage terminal board (TB1) and  
ground screw.  
Complete Control Wiring  
1. Run the control wiring close to the terminal block on the  
indoor unit.  
2. Connect the wires as shown in Fig 18 and Fig. 20 for  
38HDR units, and Fig. 19 and Fig. 21 for 38QRR units.  
NOTE: When routing the wire in the unit, use care to keep the  
wire away from refrigerant and condensate piping and any  
sharp edges.  
Complete Power Connection To Indoor Unit  
Be sure field wiring complies with local building codes and NEC,  
and unit voltage is within limits shown in Table 12.  
Contact local power company for correction of improper line  
voltage.  
NOTE: The 208/230--v units are factory wired for 230--v to  
24--v transformer operation, For 208--v to 24--v operation,  
interchange the blue (208--v) and red (230--v) wires. Cap any  
unused wires with wire nuts.  
Install Thermostat  
These systems use a three speed thermostat. Refer to Table 9 for a  
list of recommended thermostats.  
!
WARNING  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
1. Mount thermostat to a wall in the occupied space using  
hardware provided with the thermostat. Locate the thermo-  
stat, preferably on an interior wall, in an area that is not sub-  
jected to drafts or direct sunlight through windows.  
2. Run the thermostat wires to the control box of the indoor  
unit. If running the thermostat through the back of the unit,  
3/8 in. space between the unit and the wall is required.  
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury  
or death.  
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main  
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position.  
There may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock out and  
tag switch with a suitable warning label.  
3. Route wires over refrigerant and drain piping as shown in  
Fig. 24.  
!
CAUTION  
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD  
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage  
or improper operation.  
Unit failure as a result of operation on improper line voltage or  
excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse and may cause  
damage to electrical components. Such operation could void  
any applicable Carrier warranty.  
NOTE: Use copper wire only between disconnect switch(es) and  
unit.  
NOTE: Install branch circuit disconnect of adequate size to handle  
unit starting current per NEC. Locate disconnect within sight of,  
and readily accessible from, unit, per section 440--14 of NEC.  
Some codes allow indoor unit to share disconnect with outdoor  
unit if disconnect can be locked; check local code before installing  
in this manner.  
*Field-supplied.

SAFETIES — The system is equipped with the following safety  
devices to protect system components: Indoor coil freeze  
protection thermostat — If a coil temperature of 28_F (--2.22_C) or  
lower is sensed, the compressor and outdoor fan will be shut down  
until the coil temperature exceeds 28_F (--2.22_C). The indoor fan  
will continue to run. Condensate float switch (units equipped with  
accessory condensate pump, cooling cycle only) — If the level of  
condensate in the drain pan rises too high, the condensate float  
switch will turn the system off.  
OPERATING SEQUENCE  
Ceiling--suspended fan coil units have a relay board which controls  
system operation in response to a room thermostat. The user may  
manually select any one of 3 fan speeds for unit operation. The  
discharge louvers on the unit can be stationary or swing  
continuously. A switch located at the bottom of the unit will turn  
the swing function on and off.  
Ceiling--suspended systems may be equipped with an accessory  
power ventilation kit and/or condensate pump.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
FAN OPERATION  
Fan coils are capable of 3--speed  
operation. See thermostat instructions for fan speed selection.  
When the fan(s) is operating in medium or high speed and the unit  
is equipped with the power ventilation kit, the ventilation fan will  
operate to provide fresh air.  
!
WARNING  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
COOLING MODE OPERATION — When the room thermostat  
senses a demand for cooling, the fan coil relay board is energized.  
The indoor fan(s) will start in the selected speed (if it is not already  
operating). The reversing valve (heat pump only) will energize for  
cooling operation.  
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal  
injury or death.  
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main  
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF  
position. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch.  
Lock out and tag switch with a suitable warning label.  
The internal condensate pump (if so equipped) runs whenever the  
reversing valve is energized (heat pump only) and/or the unit is in  
cooling. As long as the condensate float switch and freeze  
protection thermostat are closed, the cooling relays in the fan coil  
unit will close. This energizes the compressor and outdoor fan in  
the outdoor unit.  
!
CAUTION  
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD  
The compressor will continue to operate until the room thermostat  
is satisfied. When the cooling demand is satisfied, the compressor  
and outdoor fan will stop. If the system is in the AUTO. position,  
the indoor fan will stop with the compressor.  
If the unit has the accessory ventilation kit, the ventilation fan will  
operate whenever the indoor fan is set for medium or high speed.  
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment  
damage or improper operation.  
To avoid shrinkage, do not wash filter in water over  
120_F (48.9_C). To avoid damage, do not expose filter to  
fire or direct sunlight . Clean the filter more frequently  
when air is extremely dirty.  
HEAT PUMP OPERATION — When the room thermostat  
senses a demand for heating the indoor fan will start in the selected  
speed (if not already operating), and the reversing valve will not be  
energized.  
For proper system operation, perform the cleaning and  
maintenance operations in Table 13.  
Lubrication — The indoor--fan, automatic air sweep, and the  
outdoor--fan motors are factory lubricated and require no oiling.  
The internal condensate pump (if supplied) and freeze protection  
thermostat are not operated during heating operation. The control  
relay (CR2) closes, and the compressor and outdoor fan are  
energized through the defrost board (DFB), which is located in the  
outdoor unit. The microprocessor logic in the DFB is energized  
when the compressor starts, and the defrost timer runs. Once every  
90 minutes (factory default setting) of compressor run time, the  
DFB logic checks the defrost thermostat (DFT). If the DFT is  
open, the unit continues in heating operation. If the DFT is closed,  
the DFB switches the unit to defrost mode. The timing on the DFB  
may be set at either 30, 50, or 90 minutes.  
DEFROST (Heat Pump Only) — The DFB energizes the RVS  
(reversing valve solenoid), and the reversing valve switches to the  
cooling position. The K1 relay on the DFB opens and the outdoor  
fan stops. The W2 contact on the DFB is also energized, which in  
turn energizes the defrost relay on the fan coil relay board, turns off  
the electric heater and stops the indoor fan.  
AIR FILTERS  
!
CAUTION  
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD  
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment  
damage or improper operation.  
Operating the system with dirty air filters may damage the  
indoor unit and can cause reduced cooling performance,  
intermittent system operation, frost build--up on the indoor  
coil, and blown fuses. Inspect and clean or replace the air  
filters monthly.  
REMOVE AIR FILTERS — Remove filters by pulling them  
straight out.  
The DFB logic checks the 10--minute defrost timer and the DFT. If  
the DFT opens in less than 10 minutes, the DFB switches the unit  
back to normal heating operation. If the DFT remains closed, the  
DFB switches the unit back to heating operation after 10 minutes.  
When the DFB changes back to heating mode, the RVR (reversing  
valve relay) is de--energized and the reversing valve switches back  
to heating operation. Both the outdoor and indoor fans come back  
on, and if necessary, the electric heater also turns on. SYSTEM  
CLEAN OR REPLACE FILTERS — Filters can be vacuumed  
or washed in warm water. Shake filter to remove any excess water,  
and replace by sliding filter behind grille until filter snaps in place.  
Refer to Fig. 32. If the filter has begun to break down or is torn,  
replace it. Replacement filters are available through your dealer.

wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves when  
cleaning. Clean coil carefully.  
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD  
Failure to follow this caution may result in environmental  
damage.  
Federal regulations require that you do not vent refrigerant to  
the atmosphere. Recover during system repair or final unit  
disposal.  
To clean the outdoor coil:  
1. Remove any dirt or obstruction from discharge opening.  
2. Use a garden hose to spray water on the coil. Debris that  
collects between coil fins inhibits heat transfer — direct the  
water spray between coil fins to flush out debris.  
CLEAN CONDENSATE DRAINS — Clean all drains and drain  
pans at the start of each cooling season. Check the flow by pouring  
water into the drain.  
To clean or replace drain pan:  
1. Place a plastic sheet on the floor to catch any water that may  
spill from drain pan.  
2. Remove the intake grille and distribution assembly (at-  
tached).  
3. Remove the condensate water in the drain pan by letting  
water drain into a 3--gallon bucket.
