SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing air-conditioning equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical compo-
nents. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install or service air-conditioning equipment.
When working on air-conditioning equipment, observe pre-
cautions in literature and on tags and labels attached to unit.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have fire ex-
tinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly. Con-
sult local building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC)
(U.S.A. Standard) for special installation requirements.
Before installing or servicing system, always turn off
main power to system. There may be more than one
disconnect switch. Electrical shock can cause personal
injury.
INSTALLATION
The 38AK007, 008, and 012 units use hermetic compres-
sors. The 38AKS008, 009, and 012 units use semi-hermetic
compressors. See Table 1A or 1B for physical data.
Step 1 — Complete Pre-Installation Checks
UNCRATE UNIT (See Fig. 1) — Remove unit packaging
except for the top skid assembly and wood bumpers, which
should be left in place until after unit is rigged into place.
INSPECT SHIPMENT — File claim with shipping com-
pany if shipment is damaged or incomplete.

CONSIDER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• Consult local building codes and NEC for special instal-
lation requirements.
• Allow sufficient space for airflow clearance, wiring,
refrigerant piping, and unit servicing. See Fig. 2.
• Locate unit so that condenser airflow is unrestricted on all
sides and above. Refer to Fig. 2.
• Unit may be mounted on a level pad directly on base rails
or mounted on raised pads at support points. See Table 2
for weight distribution based on recommended support points.
NOTE: If vibration isolators are required for a particular in-
stallation, use corner weight information in Table 2 to make
proper selection.

Step 2 — Rig and Mount the Unit
Be sure unit panels are securely in place prior to
rigging.
RIGGING — These units are designed for overhead rig-
ging. Refer to rigging label for preferred rigging method.
Spreader bars are not required if top crating is left on unit.
All panels must be in place when rigging. (See Fig. 3.) As
further protection for coil faces, plywood sheets may be placed
against sides of unit, behind cables. Run cables to a central
suspension point so that angle from the horizontal is not less
than 45 degrees. Raise and set unit down carefully.
If it is necessary to roll unit into position, mount unit on
rails, using a minimum of 3 rollers. Apply force to rails,
not unit. If unit is to be skidded into position, place it on a
large pad and drag it by the pad. Do not apply any force to
unit.
Raise from above to lift unit from rails or pad when unit
is in final position.
After unit is in position, remove all shipping materials and
top crating.
COMPRESSOR MOUNTING — Compressors are shipped
from the factory held down by 4 bolts.After unit is installed,
loosen each bolt until the snubber washer can be moved with
finger pressure. See Fig. 4.
Step 3 — Complete Refrigerant Piping Connec-
tions — Suction connection is sweat with plastic cap;
liquid connection is sweat with plastic cap. Refer to
Table 3A or 3B for the proper line sizes. Follow standard
piping practices.
SIZE REFRIGERANT LINES — Consider length of piping
required between condensing unit and air handler, amount
of liquid lift, and compressor oil return. See Table 4A and
4B and also refer to Part 3 of Carrier System Design Manual
for design details and line sizing. Refer to air handler in-
stallation instructions for additional information.

FILTER DRIERAND MOISTURE INDICATOR — The fil-
ter drier is factory installed. Moisture indicator is field-
supplied and should be installed just after liquid line shutoff
valve. Do not use a receiver; there is none provided with
unit and one should not be used.
NOTE: Unit is shipped with R-22 holding charge. System
pressure must be relieved before removing caps. Recover re-
frigerant prior to brazing.
Pass nitrogen or other inert gas through piping while braz-
ing to prevent formation of copper oxide.
Install field-supplied thermostatic expansion valve to evapo-
rator section. It is recommended that a field-supplied liquid
line solenoid be positioned in the main liquid line close to
the evaporator coil, and wired to close when compressor stops
to minimize refrigerant migration during the ‘‘OFF’’ cycle.

Step 4 — Make Electrical Connections
Unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken elec-
trical ground to minimize the possibility of personal in-
jury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground may
consist of electrical wire connected to unit ground lug
in control compartment, or conduit approved for elec-
trical ground when installed in accordance with NEC
ANSI (American National Standards Institute)/NFPA (Na-
tional Fire Protection Association) 70 (U.S.A.
Standards) and local electrical codes. Failure to follow
this warning could result in the installer being liable for
personal injury of others.
FIELD POWER SUPPLY—All units except 208/230-v units
are factory wired for the voltage shown on the nameplate. If
the 208/230-v unit is to be connected to a 208-v power sup-
ply, the transformer must be rewired by moving the black
wire from the 230-v orange wire on the transformer and con-
necting it to the 208-v red wire from the transformer. The
end of the orange wire must then be insulated.
Refer to unit label diagram for additional information.
Pigtails are provided for field wire connections. Use factory-
supplied splices or UL (Underwriters’Laboratories) (U.S.A.
Standard) approved copper/aluminum connector.
When installing units, provide a disconnect per NEC.
All field wiring must comply with NEC and local
requirements.
Install field wiring as follows:
1. Install conduit through side panel openings.
2. Install power lines to connections as shown in Fig. 5. Wrap
connections with electrical tape.
Voltage to compressor terminals during operation must be
within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate (also see
Table 5). Voltages between phases must be balanced within
2% and the current within 10%. Use the formula shown in
Table 5, Note 2, to determine the percent voltage imbalance.
Operation on improper line voltage or excessive phase im-
balance constitutes abuse and may cause damage to elec-
trical components. Such operation would invalidate any ap-
plicable Carrier warranty.

2. Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage
Never operate a motor where a phase imbalance in supply volt-
age is greater than 2%. Use the following formula to determine
the percent voltage imbalance.
max voltage deviation from average voltage
= 100 x average voltage
EXAMPLE: Supply voltage is 460-3-60.

= 457
(AB) 457 - 452 =5 v
(BC) 464 - 457 =7 v
(AC) 457 - 455 =2 v
Maximum deviation is 7 v.
Determine percent voltage imbalance

FIELD CONTROL WIRING — Install a Carrier-approved
accessory thermostat assembly according to installation
instructions included with the accessory. Locate thermostat
assembly on a solid wall in the conditioned space to sense
average temperature in accordance with thermostat instal-
lation instructions.
Route thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of
colored wire from subbase terminals to low-voltage connec-
tions on unit (shown in Fig. 6) as described in Steps 1 through
3 below.
NOTE: For wire runs, use the following insulated wire:

AWG — American Wire Gage
All wire larger than no. 18 AWG cannot be directly con-
nected to the thermostat and will require a junction box and
splice at the thermostat.
1. Connect thermostat wires to screw terminals of low-
voltage connection board.
2. Pass the control wires through the hole provided in the
corner post. (See Fig. 7.)
3. Feed wire through the raceway built into the corner post
and into the 24 v thermostat connection board. The 24 v
thermostat connection is located on the left side of the
low-voltage connection compartment. The raceway pro-
vides the UL required clearance between high- and low-
voltage wiring.
Total combined amperage drain of the field-installed liq-
uid line solenoid valve and indoor (evaporator) fan con-
tactor must not exceed 22 va. If the specified va must be

START-UP
Preliminary Checks
1. Field electrical power source must agree with unit name-
plate rating.
2. Check that all internal wiring connections are tight and
that all barriers, covers, and panels are in place.
3. Ensure all service valves are open. On 38AKS units, be
sure all compressor service valves are backseated.
4. Verify that compressor holddown bolts for units
38AKS have been loosened and that flat/snubber wash-
ers can be rotated by applying finger pressure (snug, but
not tight).
5. Verify compressor crankcase heater is securely in place.
Crankcase heater must operate for at least 24 hours be-
fore start-up. The 38AK unit size 007 does not require
a crankcase heater.
6. Note that compressor oil level is visible in the sight glass
(38AKS units only).
7. Check for leaks in refrigerant system by using soap bubbles
and/or electronic leak detector.
8. Check that liquid line solenoid valve is located at
evaporator coil as shown in Filter Drier and Moisture
Indicator section, page 6.
9. Check voltage imbalance as shown in Table 5,
Note 2.
10. Check that both outdoor and indoor units are properly
mounted in accordance with installation instructions and
applicable codes.
Evacuate and Dehydrate — Evacuate and dehy-
drate entire refrigerant system by use of the methods
described in Carrier GTAC II, Module 4, System Dehydra-
tion. Evacuate system down to 500 microns and ensure vacuum
hold for 15 minutes. If vacuum does not hold, pressurize sys-
tem and locate leak and repair.
Refrigerant Charge — Refer to Carrier GTAC II,
Module 5, Charging Recovery, Recycling, and Reclamation.
NOTE: Use of a Carrier Totalclaimtrefrigeration recovery
unit is highly recommended when recovering refrigerant.
Unit panels must be in place when unit is operating dur-
ing charging procedure.
Unit is shipped with holding charge only. Weigh in 7 lb
(3 kg) of R-22 to start unit.
CHARGE COOLING — Use Cooling Charging Charts,
Fig. 8A or 8B and 9A or 9B. Vary refrigerant until the
conditions of the chart are met. Note that charging charts are
different from type normally used. Charts are based on charg-
ing the units to the correct subcooling for the various oper-
ating conditions. Accurate pressure gage and temperature
sensing device are required. Connect the pressure
gage to the service port on the liquid line service valve. Mount
the temperature sensing device on the liquid line, close to
the liquid line service valve and insulate it so that outdoor
ambient temperature does not affect the reading. Indoor air-
flow must be within the normal operating range of the unit.
Operate unit a minimum of 15 minutes. Ensure pressure
and temperature readings have stabilized. Plot liquid pres-
sure and temperature on chart and add or reduce charge to
meet curve. Adjust charge to conform with charging chart,
using liquid pressure and temperature to read chart.
CompressorOverload— This overload interrupts power
to the compressor when either the current or internal motor
winding temperature becomes excessive, and automatically
resets when the internal temperature drops to a safe level.
This overload may require up to 60 minutes (or longer) to
reset. If the internal overload is suspected of being open, dis-
connect the electrical power to the unit and check the circuit
through the overload with an ohmmeter or continuity tester.
Cycle-LOC™ Device — When high-pressure or low-
pressure fault occurs, the Cycle-LOC device will protect the
system by not allowing the compressor to start.
Low-Pressure/Loss-of-Charge Switch (LPS) —
When the liquid line pressure drops below 7 psig (48 kPa),
the LPS opens 24-v power to the compressor contactor and
stops the compressor. When the pressure reaches 22 psig
(152 kPa), the switch resets and the compressor is allowed
to restart.
Fig. 8A — Cooling Charging Chart — 38AK007
(60 Hz) Fig. 8B — Cooling Charging Chart — 38AK007
(50 Hz)
9

High-Pressure Switch (HPS) — When the refriger-
ant high-side pressure reaches 426 psig (2937 kPa), the HPS
opens 24-v power to the compressor contactor and stops the
compressor. When the pressure drops to 320 psig (2206 kPa),
the switch resets and the compressor is allowed to restart.
Time GuardTII Device — Time Guard II circuit pro-
vides for a delay of approximately 5 minutes before restart-
ing compressor after shutdown from safety device action.
On start-up, the Time Guard II timer causes a delay of
approximately 15 seconds after thermostat closes.
Refrigerant Service Ports — Each unit system has
3 service ports: one on the suction line, one on the liquid
line, and one on the compressor discharge line. Be sure caps
on the ports are tight.
Cooling — Set space thermostat to OFF position. Set
system selector switch at COOL position and fan switch at
AUTO. position. Adjust thermostat to a setting below room
temperature. Compressor starts on closure of contactor.
Check cooling effects at a setting below room tempera-
ture. Check unit charge. Refer to Refrigerant Charge
section on page 9.
Reset thermostat at a position above room temperature.
Compressor will shut off.
TO SHUT OFF UNIT — Set system selector switch at
OFF position. (Resetting thermostat at a position above room
temperature shuts unit off temporarily until space tempera-
ture exceeds thermostat setting.) Units are equipped with Cycle-
LOC™ protection device. Unit shuts down on any safety trip
and remains off. Check reason for safety trip.
Compressor restart is accomplished by manual reset of the
thermostat by turning the selector switch to OFF position
and then to ON position.
Sequence of Operation — At start-up, the thermo-
stat calls for cooling. With all safety devices satisfied, the
compressor contactor and fan contactor energize, causing the
compressor and outdoor (condenser) fan motor to operate.
Contacts close, allowing the field-supplied and -installed in-
door (evaporator) fan contactor to function. The recom-
mended field-supplied and -installed liquid line solenoid valve
will also open, allowing the system to function in cooling.
As cooling demand is satisfied, the thermostat contacts break,
deenergizing the contactor causing the system to shut off.
The liquid line solenoid valve closes, minimizing the poten-
tial for refrigerant migration at this time. The compressor
does not restart until the thermostat again calls for cooling.
If a demand for cooling occurs within 5 minutes after the
thermostat is satisfied, the system will not restart due to the
feature of Time Guard II device. After the 5-minute time pe-
riod, the system will restart as normal on thermostat de-
mand. The system is protected by a Cycle-LOC device so
that the compressor will not start if a high-pressure or low-
pressure fault occurs. Compressor restart is accomplished by
manual reset of the thermostat by turning the selector switch
to OFF position and then to ON position. This should be
done only once. If system shuts down due to the same fault,
determine the problem before attempting to reset the Cycle-
LOC device.
Oil Charge (Tables 1A and 1B)
38AKS UNITS — Allow unit to run for about 20 minutes.
Stop unit and check compressor oil level. Add oil only if
necessary to bring oil into view in sight glass. Use only Carrier-
approved compressor oil.
Approved oils are:
Suniso 3GS
WF32-150
38AK UNITS — The 38AK units do not have a sight glass
and are factory charged with the correct amount of oil.
ALL UNITS — Do not reuse drained oil or use any oil that
has been exposed to atmosphere. Procedures for adding or
removing oil are given in Carrier Standard Service Tech-
niques Manual, Chapter 1, Refrigerants.
If oil is added, run unit for an additional 10 minutes. Stop
unit and check oil level. If level is still low, add oil only after
determining that piping system is designed for proper oil re-
turn and that system is not leaking oil.

SERVICE
When servicing unit, shut off all electrical power to the
unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.
Cleaning — Inspect unit interior at the beginning of each
cooling season and as operating conditions require.
CONDENSER COIL — Inspect coil monthly. Clean con-
denser coil annually and as required by location or outdoor-
air conditions.
Clean coil as follows:
1. Turn off unit power.
2. Remove and save top panel screws on condensing unit.
3. Remove condenser coil corner post. See Fig. 10. To hold
top panel open, place coil corner post between top panel
and side panel. See Fig. 11.
4. Remove bracket holding coil sections together at return
end of condenser coil. Carefully separate the outer coil
section 3 to 4 in. (75 to 100 mm) from the inner coil sec-
tion. See Fig. 12.
5. Use a water hose or other suitable equipment to flush down
between the 2 coil sections to remove dirt and debris. Clean
the outer surfaces with a stiff brush in the normal manner.
6. Reposition the outer coil section, and secure the coil sec-
tions together by reinstalling the brackets removed in
Step 4.
7. Remove the coil corner post from between the top panel
and side panel.
8. Install the coil corner post and replace all screws re-
moved in Step 2.
Lubrication
COMPRESSORS — Each compressor is charged with cor-
rect amount of oil at the factory. For additional information
on 38AKS units, refer to the Oil Charge section on page 10.
FAN MOTOR BEARINGS — Fan motor bearings are of
the permanently-lubricated type. No further lubrication is
required.
Condenser-Fan Adjustment (Fig. 13)
1. Shut off unit power supply.
2. Remove condenser-fan assembly (grille, motor, motor cover,
and fan). 3. Loosen fan hub setscrews.

4. Adjust fan height as shown in Fig. 13.
5. Tighten setscrews.
6. Replace condenser-fan assembly.
Capacity Control — Unit 38AKS012 Only — A
suction pressure-actuated unloader controls 2 cylinders and
provides capacity control. Unloaders are factory set (see
Table 1A or 1B), but may be field adjusted as follows:
CONTROL SET POINT (cylinder load point) is adjustable
from 0 to 85 psig (586 kPa). To adjust, turn control set point
adjustment nut (Fig. 14) clockwise to its bottom stop. In this
position, set point is 85 psig (586 kPa). Then, turn adjust-
ment counterclockwise to desired control set point. Every
full turn counterclockwise decreases set point by
7.5 psig (51.7 kPa).
PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL (difference between cylinder
load and unload points) is adjustable from 6 to 22 psig
(41.4 to 152 kPa). To adjust, turn pressure differential
adjustment screw (Fig. 14) counterclockwise to its back stop
position. In this position, differential is 6 psig (41.4 kPa).
Then, turn adjustment clockwise to desired pressure differ-
ential. Every full turn clockwise increases differential by
1.5 psig (10.3 kPa).
Compressor Removal — See Tables 1A and 1B for
compressor information. Follow safety codes and wear safety
glasses and work gloves.
1. Shut off power to unit. Remove unit access panel (front
of unit).
2. Remove refrigerant from system using refrigerant
removal methods described in the Carrier GTAC-II,
Module 5, Charging, Recovery, Recycling, and
Reclamation.
3. Disconnect compressor wiring at compressor terminal
box.
4. Remove bolts from suction flange and discharge service
valves (38AKS008,009,012 units only). Loosen sweat
connections (38AK007,008, and 012 units only).
Excessive movement of copper lines at compres-
sor may cause higher levels of vibration when unit
is restored to service.
5. Remove crankcase heater from compressor base
(38AKS008,009,012, 38AK008,012).
6. Remove compressor holddown bolts.
7. Remove compressor from unit.
8. Clean system. Add new liquid line filter drier.
9. Install new compressor in unit.
10. Connect suction and discharge lines to compressor, as
applicable. Ensure that compressor holddown bolts are
in place.
11. Connect wiring.
12. Install crankcase heater on 38AKS008,009,012 and
38AK008,012 units.
13. Evacuate and recharge unit.
14. Restore unit power.
CrankcaseHeater(Except38AK007)— The crank-
case heater on the 38AK008,012 condensing units prevents
refrigerant migration and compressor oil dilution during shut-
down when compressor is not operating.
Close both compressor service valves if applicable (on
38AKS008,009,012) when crankcase heater is deenergized
for more than 6 hours.
