Compressor Rotation — To determine whether or not
compressor is rotating in the proper direction:
1. Connect service gages to suction and discharge pressure
fittings.
2. Energize the compressor.
3. The suction pressure should drop and the discharge pres-
sure should rise, as is normal on any start-up.
4. If the suction pressure does not drop and the discharge
pressure does not rise to normal levels.
5. Note that the evaporator fan is probably also rotating in
the wrong direction.
6. Turn off power to the unit and tag disconnect.
7. Reverse any two of the unit power leads.
8. Reapply power to the unit.
9. The suction and discharge pressure levels should now
move to their normal start-up levels.
NOTE: When the compressor is rotating in the wrong direc-
tion, the unit makes an elevated level of noise and does not
provide cooling.
Operating Sequence — All units require the addition
of a thermostat accessory package to complete the control cir-
cuit. The sequence of operation may vary depending on which
package is selected.
ROOM-MOUNTED THERMOSTAT — These units use an
electronic, communicating electronic, or mechanical thermo-
stat mounted in the conditioned space.
FAN CIRCULATION — When the fan selector switch is set
to the ON position, the indoor-fan motor is energized through
G on the thermostat and the indoor-fan contactor is energized.
This starts the indoor fan motor (IFM). The fan will operate to
provide continuous air circulation.
COOLING — The indoor fan will operate continuously or
when the compressor runs, depending on the setting of the ther-
mostat fan selector switch. When the thermostat closes (on a
call for cooling Y1 on the thermostat), the control relay (CR),
outdoor-fan contactor (OFC) and compressor contactor(s) (C1
and C2 on 20 ton) close. The control relay will start the indoor
fan if it is not already running. The outdoor-fan contactor will
start the condenser fan and the compressor contactors will im-
mediately start the first stage compressor(s). The 50BYN024
unit as wired from the factory has two compressors on first
stage and one on second stage. This may be altered (see appli-
cation data section of the product data catalog).
A second stage on 50BYN012-024 units will close if addi-
tional cooling demand is required, and will then start the
second-stage compressor. When the thermostat is satisfied, the
second stage compressor will stop first, and then the first stage
compressors will stop when cooling demand is satisfied. The
outdoor fan will also stop as soon as the first stage cooling is
satisfied.
HEATING — The indoor fan will operate continuously or
when the heater runs, depending on the setting of the thermo-
stat fan selector switch. When the thermostat closes (on a call
for heating), the thermostat activates the water or steam control
valve or electric heater to meet heating requirements.
CARRIER TEMP THERMOSTAT — The Carrier TEMP
System is a control system which includes a relay pack, TEMP
system thermostat, sensors and appropriate wiring. The TEMP
thermostat is the system controller and works much like a room
thermostat, but provides for communicating control. The
TEMP thermostat requires the addition of an accessory
relay pack to interface with the unit. This relay pack may be
mounted in the low-voltage control compartment. The system
operation is the same as stated in the Room-Mounted Thermo-
stat section above.
CARRIER VARIABLE VOLUME AND TEMPERATURE
(VVT)® SYSTEM — The VVT system is a control system
that includes a relay pack (which may be mounted in the low
voltage control compartment); monitor thermostat; zone con-
trollers modulating supply duct dampers; modulating bypass
controller sensors; and appropriate wiring. The VVT thermo-
stat is the system controller. It sends messages to the relay pack
which then sends the appropriate signals to the 50BYN unit for
fan, heating and cooling. The monitor thermostat also gathers
information from the zone controllers, which control the zone
supply dampers. It provides a zoned, all-air system for both
heating and cooling which supplies variable volume, variable
temperature air to the zones conditioned.
ALL UNITS — The control circuit incorporates a current-
sensing lockout relay (Cycle-LOC™ device) that locks off the
compressor(s) when any safety device is activated (low or high
pressure switches, outdoor-fan motor overload, or compressor
internal overload). If any compressor safety device opens, the
compressor(s) will stop and a 24-v signal will be sent to the X
connection of the low-voltage terminal strip. The signal may be
used to light an indicator light on the thermostat to show that
service is required on the unit. Since the unit is protected by the
Cycle-LOC device, the compressor(s) will not restart following
a safety interruption unless the thermostat is satisfied without
cooling operation. To reset the Cycle-LOC control device,
manually turn the control power to the OFF, then back to the
ON position. High- and low-pressure switches and motor over-
load protectors will reset automatically when the condition
which caused the device to trip has dropped below the reset
condition. A 5-minute timer (Time-Delay Relay [TDR]) will
prevent the compressor(s) from restarting for 5 minutes after
any compressor has stopped.
If the condenser-fan motor overheats due to motor over-
load or lack of cooling air, the internal fan protector will open
the circuit internally in the motor, and the fan will stop. If a
safety control in the unit opens, the condenser fan will also
stop.
ACCESSORIES — Low ambient control on 50BYN units is
accomplished with a refrigerant operated damper located on
the condenser fan discharge. Low ambient operation does not
affect operating sequence.
WINTERSTART — Since these units are equipped with a
27 psig low-pressure switch, a 3-minute low-pressure switch
bypass is recommended for operation below 50 F. Order Win-
ter Start Control accessory no. CRWINSTR01A00 and install
according to the instructions supplied with the kit.
DEFROST THERMOSTAT (50BB-900- - -001) — This ther-
mostat is installed on the evaporator coil and is recommended
with Winter Start control. Install thermostat according to in-
structions supplied with the kit.
ECONOMIZER — When the thermostat turns the indoor fan
on, the economizer relay is energized and the actuator is
powered on. The actuator moves the dampers to the minimum
position as determined by the adjustment potentiometer on
the actuator. If the system uses a CO2sensor, the minimum
position is determined by the potentiometer on the required
field-supplied adapter. On a call for heating from the thermo-
stat (W1 and/or W2 energized), the economizer remains at the
minimum position.
NOTE: If a CO2sensor is used, the economizer can modu-
late based on the carbon dioxide level in the space. There is
no low leaving-air temperature limit control. Controls to
accomplish this must be field-supplied and installed.
