SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS  
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can be  
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only  
trained and qualified personnel should install, repair, or service  
air-conditioning equipment.  
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions of  
cleaning coils and filters. All other operations should be performed  
by trained service personnel. When working on air-conditioning  
equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags, and labels  
attached to the unit, and other safety precautions that may apply.  
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use  
quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire extinguisher  
available for all brazing operations. Consult a qualified installer or  
service agency for information or assistance. The qualified in-  
staller or agency must use only factory-authorized kits or acces-  
sories when modifying this product.

of wear, structural deformation, or cracks. Particular attention  
should be paid to excessive wear at hoist hooking points and load  
support areas. Brackets or straps showing any kind of wear in these  
areas must not be used and should be discarded.  
Accessory lifting kit is only to be used with Small Packaged  
units which have a composite base pan with molded rigging  
holds.  
INSTALLATION  
INSPECTION  
1. Position the lifting bracket assembly around the base of the  
unit. Leave the top shipping skid on the unit to act as a  
spreader bar. Be sure the strap does not twist.  
Prior to initial use, and at monthly intervals, all rigging brackets  
and straps should be visually inspected for any damage, evidence

Fig. 6—Suggested Rigging  
Do not undersize the tube. Pitch the drain tube downward at a  
slope of at least 1-in. for every 10 ft. of horizontal run. Be sure to  
check the drain tube for leaks. Prime trap at the beginning of the  
cooling season start-up.  
Lifting point should be directly over the center of gravity for  
the unit.  
Step 7—Install Duct Connections  
Step 6—Connect Condensate Drain  
The unit has duct flanges on the supply- and return-air openings on  
the side and bottom of the unit. For downshot applications the  
ductwork can be connected to the roof curb. See Fig. 2 & 3 for  
connection sizes and locations.  
NOTE: When installing condensate drain connection be sure to  
comply with local codes and restrictions.  
Models 50GS and 50GX dispose of condensate water through a  
3/4 in. NPT fitting which exits through the base on the evaporator  
coil access side. See Fig. 2 & 3 for location.  
IMPORTANT: Use flexible connectors between ductwork and  
unit to prevent transmission of vibration. Use suitable gaskets to  
ensure weathertight and airtight seal. When electric heat is  
installed, use fire proof canvas (or similar heat resistant material)  
connector between ductwork and unit discharge connection. If  
flexible duct is used, insert a sheet metal sleeve inside duct. Heat  
resistant duct connector (or sheet metal sleeve) must extend 24-in.  
from the unit discharge connection flange into the ductwork.  
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in rooftop  
installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in ground-  
level installations. Install a field-supplied condensate trap at end of  
condensate connection to ensure proper drainage. Make sure that  
the outlet of the trap is at least 1 in. lower than the drainpan  
condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing (See  
Fig. 7). When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes away from  
the unit.  
Connect a drain tube using a minimum of 3/4 -in. PVC or 3/4 -in.  
copper pipe (all field-supplied) at the outlet end of the 2-in. trap.

5. It is recommended that the unit base insulation around the  
perimeter of the vertical return-air opening be secured to the  
unit base with aluminum tape. Applicable local codes may  
require aluminum tape to prevent exposed fiberglass.  
6. Cover both horizontal duct openings with the duct covers from  
the accessory duct cover kit. Ensure opening is air-and  
watertight.  
7. After completing unit conversion, perform all safety checks  
and power up unit.  
NOTE: The design and installation of the duct system must be in  
accordance with the standards of the NFPA for installation of  
nonresidence-type air conditioning and ventilating systems, NFPA  
90A or residence-type, NFPA 90B; and/or local codes and  
ordinances.  
Adhere to the following criteria when selecting, sizing, and  
installing the duct system:  
8. Units are shipped for side shot installation.  
9. Select and size ductwork, supply-air registers, and return-air  
grilles according to American Society of Heating, Refrigera-  
tion and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommen-  
dations.

10. Use flexible transition between rigid ductwork and unit to  
prevent transmission of vibration. The transition may be  
screwed or bolted to duct flanges. Use suitable gaskets to  
ensure weathertight and airtight seal.  
11. All units must have field-supplied filters or accessory filter  
rack installed in the return-air side of the unit. Recommended  
sizes for filters are shown in Tables 1 and 2.  
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken  
electrical ground to minimize the possibility of personal  
injury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground may  
consist of an electrical wire connected to the unit ground lug  
in the control compartment, or conduit approved for electrical  
ground when installed in accordance with NEC (National  
Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA (latest edition) and local elec-  
trical codes. In Canada, follow Canadian Electrical Code  
CSA (Canadian Standards Association) C22.1 and local  
electrical codes. Failure to adhere to this warning could result  
in personal injury or death.  
12. Size all ductwork for maximum required airflow (either  
heating or cooling) for unit being installed. Avoid abrupt duct  
size increases or decreases or performance may be affected.  
13. Adequately insulate and weatherproof all ductwork located  
outdoors. Insulate ducts passing through unconditioned space,  
and use vapor barrier in accordance with latest issue of Sheet  
Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association  
(SMACNA) and Air Conditioning Contractors of America  
(ACCA) minimum installation standards for heating and air  
conditioning systems. Secure all ducts to building structure.  
14. Flash, weatherproof, and vibration-isolate all openings in  
building structure in accordance with local codes and good  
building practices.

4. Connect L2 to pressure lug connection 23 of the compressor  
contactor.  
Three phase units:  
1. Run the high-voltage (L1, L2, L3) and ground leads into the  
control box.  
2. Connect ground lead to chassis ground connection.  
3. Locate the black and yellow wires connected to the lines side  
of the contactor.  
4. Connect field L1 to black wire on connection 11 of the  
compressor contactor.  
5. Connect field wire L2 to yellow wire on connection 13 of the

Run the low-voltage leads from the thermostat, through the inlet  
hole, and into unit low-voltage splice box.  
PRE-START-UP  
Locate five 18-gage wires leaving control box. These low-voltage  
connection leads can be identified by the colors red, green, yellow,  
brown, and white (See Fig. 10). Ensure the leads are long enough  
to be routed into the low-voltage splice box (located below right  
side of control box). Stripped yellow wire is located in connection  
box. Route leads through hole in bottom of control box and make  
low-voltage connections (See Fig. 10). Secure all cut wires, so that  
they do not interfere with operation of unit.  
Failure to observe the following warnings could result in  
serious personal injury:  
1. Follow recognized safety practices and wear protective  
goggles when checking or servicing refrigerant system.  
2. Do not operate compressor or provide any electric power to  
unit unless compressor terminal cover is in place and  
secured.  
TRANSFORMER PROTECTION  
3. Do not remove compressor terminal cover until all electri-  
cal sources are disconnected.  
The transformer is of the energy-limiting type. It is set to  
4. Relieve and recover all refrigerant from system before  
touching or disturbing anything inside terminal box if  
refrigerant leak is suspected around compressor terminals.  
5. Never attempt to repair soldered connection while refrig-  
erant system is under pressure.  
withstand a 30-second overload or shorted secondary condition.  
6. Do not use torch to remove any component. System  
contains oil and refrigerant under pressure. To remove a  
component, wear protective goggles and proceed as fol-  
lows:  
a. Shut off electrical power to unit.  
b. Relieve and reclaim all refrigerant from system using  
both high- and low-pressure ports.  
c. Cut component connecting tubing with tubing cutter and  
remove component from unit.  
d. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when neces-  
sary. Oil can ignite when exposed to torch flame.  
Proceed as follows to inspect and prepare the unit for initial  
startup:  
1. Remove access panel.  
2. Read and follow instructions on all WARNING, CAUTION,  
and INFORMATION labels attached to, or shipped with, unit.  
3. Make the following inspections:  
a. Inspect for shipping and handling damages such as broken  
lines, loose parts, disconnected wires, etc.  
b. Inspect for oil at all refrigerant tubing connections and on  
unit base. Detecting oil generally indicates a refrigerant  
13  
leak. Leak test all refrigerant tubing connections using  
electronic leak detector, halide torch, or liquid-soap solu-  
tion. If a refrigerant leak is detected, see Check for  
Refrigerant Leaks section.  
START UP COOLING SECTION AND MAKE ADJUST-  
MENTS  
c. Inspect all field- and factory-wiring connections. Be sure  
that connections are completed and tight.  
Complete the required procedures given in the Pre-Start- Up  
section before starting the unit. Do not jumper any safety  
devices when operating the unit. Do not operate the compres-  
sor when the outdoor temperature is below 40°F (unless  
accessory low-ambient kit is installed). Do not rapid-cycle the  
compressor. Allow 5 minutes between “on” cycles to prevent  
compressor damage.  
d. Ensure electrical wiring does not contact refrigerant tubes  
or sharp metal edges.  
e. Inspect coil fins. If damaged during shipping and handling,  
carefully straighten fins with a fin comb.  
Verify the following conditions:  
CHECKING COOLING CONTROL OPERATION  
a. Make sure that condenser-fan blade is correctly positioned  
in fan orifice. Leading edge of condenser-fan blade should  
be 1/2 in. maximum from fan orifice (See Fig. 11).  
Start and check the unit for proper cooling control operation as  
follows:  
b. Make sure that air filter(s) is in place.  
1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF position.  
Observe that blower motor starts when FAN switch is placed  
in ON position and shuts down after 30 second fan time delay  
expires when FAN switch is placed in AUTO position.  
c. Make sure that condensate drain trap is filled with water to  
ensure proper drainage.  
d. Make sure that all tools and miscellaneous loose parts have  
been removed.  
2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch in  
AUTO position. Set cooling control below room temperature.  
Observe that compressor, condenser fan, and evaporator  
blower motors start. Observe that compressor and outdoor fan  
shut down when control setting is satisfied and that indoor  
blower shuts down after 30 second fan time delay expires.  
START-UP  
CHECK FOR REFRIGERANT LEAKS  
Proceed as follows to locate and repair a refrigerant leak and to  
charge the unit:  
1. Locate leak and make sure that refrigerant system pressure has  
been relieved and reclaimed from both high- and low-pressure  
ports.  
3. When using an auto-changeover room thermostat, place both  
SYSTEM and FAN switches in AUTO positions. Observe that  
unit operates in heating mode when temperature control is set  
to “call for heating” (above room temperature) and operates in  
cooling mode when temperature control is set to “call for  
cooling” (below room temperature).  
FAN GRILLE  
MOTOR  
IMPORTANT: Three-phase, scroll compressor units (50GS048,  
50GX030-060) are direction-oriented. These units must be  
checked to ensure proper compressor 3-phase power lead orienta-  
tion. If not corrected within 5 minutes, the internal protector will  
shut off the compressor. The 3-phase power leads to the unit must  
be reversed to correct rotation. When turning backwards, scroll  
compressors emit elevated noise levels, and the difference between  
compressor suction and

discharge pressures may be  
dramatically lower than normal.  
2. Repair leak following accepted practices. NOTE: Install a  
filter drier whenever the system has been opened for repair.  
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING REFRIGERANT CHARGE  
3. Add a small charge of R-22 refrigerant vapor to system and  
leak-test unit.  
The refrigerant system is fully charged with R-22 refrigerant,  
tested, and factory-sealed.  
4. Recover refrigerant from refrigerant system and evacuate to  
500 microns if no additional leaks are not found.  
NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required  
unless the unit is suspected of not having the proper R-22 charge.  
5. Charge unit with R-22 refrigerant, using a volumetric-  
charging cylinder or accurate scale. Refer to unit rating plate  
for required charge. Be sure to add extra refrigerant to  
compensate for internal volume of filter drier.  
A superheat charging chart is attached to the outside of the service  
access panel. The chart includes the required suction line tempera-  
ture at given suction line pressures and outdoor ambient tempera-  
tures (See Fig. 15–27).  
An accurate superheat, thermocouple- or thermistor-type ther-  
mometer, a sling psychrometer, and a gauge manifold are required  
when using the superheat charging method for evaluating the unit  
charge. Do not use mercury or small dial-type thermometers  
because they are not adequate for this type of measurement.  
NOTE: Allow system to operate in the cooling mode for a  
minimum of 10 minutes before checking or adjusting refrigerant  
charge.

When evaluating the refrigerant charge, an indicated adjust-  
ment to the specified factory charge must always be very  
minimal. If a substantial adjustment is indicated, an abnormal  
condition exists somewhere in the cooling system, such as  
insufficient airflow across either coil or both coils.

desired blower motor speed. Insulate the removed lead to avoid  
contact with chassis parts.  
Proceed as follows:  
1. Remove caps from low- and high-pressure service fittings.  
2. Using hoses with valve core depressors, attach low- and  
high-pressure gauge hoses to low- and high-pressure service  
fittings, respectively.

4. Measure and record the following:  
a. Outdoor ambient-air temperature (°F db).  
b. Evaporator inlet-air temperature (°F wb).  
c. Suction-tube temperature (°F) at low-side service fitting.  
d. Suction (low-side) pressure (psig).  
red = low  
5. Using “Cooling Charging Charts” compare outdoor-air tem-  
perature (°F db) with the suction line pressure (psig) to  
determine desired system operating suction line temperature.  
See Fig. 15-27.  
To change the speed of the indoor fan motor (IFM), remove fan  
motor speed lead from the time delay relay (TDR) and replace with  
the lead for the desired blower motor speed. The motor speed lead  
is attached to terminal–3 of TDR. For low and medium speeds  
black must be connected to the jumper wire. Insulate removed lead  
end to avoid contact with chassis parts. To select high speed on  
460-v GE motors, separate the black female quick connect (QC)  
from the jumper lead male quick connect (QC) and connect the  
black lead to the BR. Insulate the jumper to avoid contact with any  
chassis parts.  
6. Compare actual suction-tube temperature with desired  
suction-tube temperature. Using a tolerance of ±3°F, add  
refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 3°F higher than  
proper suction-tube temperature, or remove refrigerant if  
actual temperature is more than 3°F lower than required  
suction-tube temperature.  
COOLING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION  
NOTE: If the problem causing the inaccurate readings is a  
With the room thermostat SYSTEM switch in the COOL position  
and the FAN switch in the AUTO position, the cooling sequence  
of operation is as follows:  
refrigerant leak, refer to Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.  
INDOOR AIRFLOW AND AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENTS  
When the room temperature rises to a point that is slightly above  
the cooling control setting of the thermostat, the thermostat  
completes the circuit between thermostat terminal R to terminals Y  
and G. These completed circuits through the thermostat connect  
contactor coil (C) (through unit wire Y) and time delay relay  
(TDR) (through unit wire G) across the 24-v secondary of  
transformer (TRAN).  
For cooling operation, the recommended airflow is 350 to 450  
cfm for each 12,000 Btuh of rated cooling capacity.  
Tables 8 and 9 show cooling airflows at various external static  
pressures. Refer to these tables to determine the airflow for the  
system being installed.  
The normally open contacts of energized contactor (C) close and  
complete the circuit through compressor motor (COMP) to con-  
denser (outdoor) fan motor (OFM). Both motors start instantly.  
NOTE: Be sure that all supply- and return-air grilles are open,  
free from obstructions, and adjusted properly.  
The set of normally open contacts of energized relay TDR close  
and complete the circuit through evaporator blower (indoor) fan  
motor (IFM).  
Disconnect electrical power to the unit and install lockout tag  
before changing blower speed. Electrical shock can cause  
serious injury or death.  
NOTE: Once the compressor has started and then has stopped, it  
should not be started again until 5 minutes have elapsed.  
Airflow can be changed by changing the lead connections of the  
blower motor.  
The cooling cycle remains “on” until the room temperature drops  
to a point that is slightly below the cooling control setting of the  
room thermostat. At this point, the thermostat “breaks” the circuit  
between thermostat terminal R to terminals Y and G. These open  
circuits deenergize contactor coil C and relay coil TDR. The  
condenser and compressor motors stop. After a 30-second delay,  
the blower motor stops. The unit is in a “standby” condition,  
waiting for the next “call for cooling” from the room thermostat.  
Unit 50GS two- or three-speed motors (except size 030) are  
factory wired for low speed operation. Unit 50GS030 is factory  
wired for medium speed.  
All 50GX units are factory wired for low speed and may need to  
be wired for medium or high speed in the field.  
FOR 208/230V  
For color coding on the 208/230V motor leads, see Table 6.  
MAINTENANCE  
To change the speed of the indoor fan motor (IFM), remove the fan  
motor speed leg lead from the time delay relay (TDR). This wire  
is attached to terminal–3 of TDR for single-phase and 3-phase  
To ensure continuing high performance, and to minimize the  
possibility of premature equipment failure, periodic maintenance  
must be performed on this equipment. This cooling unit should be

* Air delivery values are based on operating voltage of 230v or 460v, wet coil, without filter or electric heater. Deduct filter and electric heater pressure drops to obtain  
static pressure available for ducting.  
NOTES:  
1. Do not operate the unit at a cooling airflow that is less than 350 cfm for each 12,000 Btuh of rated cooling capacity. Evaporator coil frosting may occur at airflows below  
this point.  
2. Dashes indicate portions of table that are beyond the blower motor capacity or are not recommended.  
inspected at least once each year by a qualified service person. To  
troubleshoot heating or cooling of units, refer to tables at the back  
of the book.

4. If fan needs to be removed, loosen the setscrew and slide the  
fan off the motor shaft.  
5. When replacing fan blade, position blade so that the hub is 1/8  
in. away from the motor end (1/8 in. of motor shaft will be  
visible).  
Inspect the condenser coil, evaporator coil, and condensate drain  
pan at least once each year.  
The coils are easily cleaned when dry; therefore, inspect and clean  
the coils either before or after each cooling season. Remove all  
obstructions, including weeds and shrubs, that interfere with the  
airflow through the condenser coil.  
6. Ensure that setscrew engages the flat area on the motor shaft  
when tightening  
7. Replace grille.  
Straighten bent fins with a fin comb. If coated with dirt or lint,  
clean the coils with a vacuum cleaner, using the soft brush  
attachment. Be careful not to bend the fins. If coated with oil or  
grease, clean the coils with a mild detergent-and-water solution.  
Rinse coils with clear water, using a garden hose. Be careful not to  
splash water on motors, insulation, wiring, or air filter(s). For best  
results, spray condenser coil fins from inside to outside the unit.  
On units with an outer and inner condenser coil, be sure to clean  
between the coils. Be sure to flush all dirt and debris from the unit  
base.  
ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND WIRING  
Inspect and check the electrical controls and wiring annually. Be  
sure to turn off the electrical power to the unit and install lockout  
tag.  
Remove access panel to locate all the electrical controls and  
wiring. Check all electrical connections for tightness. Tighten all  
screw connections. If any smoky or burned connections are  
noticed, disassemble the connection, clean all the parts, restrip the  
wire end and reassemble the connection properly and securely.  
After inspecting the electrical controls and wiring, replace the  
access panel. Start the unit, and observe at least one complete  
heating cycle and one complete cooling cycle to ensure proper  
operation. If discrepancies are observed in either or both operating  
cycles, or if a suspected malfunction has occurred, check each  
electrical component with the proper electrical instrumentation.  
Refer to the unit wiring label when making these checkouts.  
Inspect the drain pan and condensate drain line when inspecting  
the coils. Clean the drain pan and condensate drain by removing all  
foreign matter from the pan. Flush the pan and drain tube with  
clear water. Do not splash water on the insulation, motor, wiring,  
or air filter(s). If the drain tube is restricted, clear it with a  
“plumbers snake” or similar probe device. Ensure that the auxiliary  
drain port above the drain tube is also clear  
NOTE: Refer to the heating and/or cooling sequence of operation  
in this publication as an aid in determining proper control  
operation  
CONDENSER FAN  
REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT  
Inspect all refrigerant tubing connections and the unit base for oil  
accumulations annually. Detecting oil generally indicates a refrig-  
erant leak.  
Keep the condenser fan free from all obstructions to ensure  
proper cooling operation. Never place articles on top of the  
unit. Damage to unit may result.  
1. Remove 6 screws holding condenser grille and motor to top  
cover.  
2. Turn motor/grille assembly upside down on top cover to  
expose the fan blade.  
3. Inspect the fan blades for cracks or bends.

obstructions, and that the air filter is clean. When necessary, refer  
to Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments section to check the  
system airflow.  
System under pressure. Relieve pressure and recover all  
refrigerant before system repair or final unit disposal to avoid  
personal injury or death. Use all service ports and open all  
flow-control devices, including solenoid valves.  
METERING DEVICE — ACUTROL DEVICE  
This metering device is a fixed orifice and is located in the header  
to the evaporator coil.  
If oil is detected or if low cooling performance is suspected,  
leak-test all refrigerant tubing using an electronic leak-detector,  
halide torch, or liquid-soap solution. If a refrigerant leak is  
detected, refer to Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.  
LIQUID LINE STRAINER  
The liquid line strainer (to protect metering device) is made of wire  
mesh and located in the liquid line on the inlet side of the metering  
device.  
If no refrigerant leaks are found and low cooling performance is  
suspected, refer to Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge  
section.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
Use the Troubleshooting–Cooling guide (see Table 10) if problems  
occur with these units.
