INTRODUCTION
The focus of this manual is to provide basic information
on service procedures, safety, troubleshooting, clean-
ing, and component replacement for service techni-
cians. It is intended for use only by HVAC service
technicians who have successfully completed
instruction and received Type I Certification
from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The instructions in this manual are general in nature
and are not to be substituted for installation and ser-
vice instructions shipped with the unit. No attempt to
install, operate, adjust, repair, or dismantle any equip-
ment should be made until the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions are read and thoroughly understood by the
service technician. Even equipment that seems famil-
iar may have specific model differences from year to
year. Always review manufacturer’s instructions.
Model 52C,P packaged terminal air conditioner
(PTAC) and heat pump units are self-contained for
installation through the wall for individual room heat-
ing and cooling. The Model 52C,P polymer and metal
sleeves are permanently fastened to the wall; the unit
chassis slides out of the sleeve to allow the service
technician easy access. Many accessories are offered
to complement the unit’s performance and comfort
control.
Before beginning any service procedures, it is impor-
tant to check the unit model number. See Figure 1 and
2. Units that seem similar may have subtle differences
that could affect service procedures. The following
units are covered in this manual:
52CE 60 Hz cooling with electric heat units
52CQ 60 Hz heat pump with electric heat units
52PE 60 Hz cooling with electric heat units
52PQ 60 Hz heat pump with electric heat units
52PC 60 Hz cooling only units
Knowing which model is being serviced will help deter-
mine if the unit is performing at optimum levels. The
model number is located on the data information plate
beneath the front panel of the unit. See Figure 1. The
data information plate also lists voltage ranges and
other important electrical information about the unit.
SUMMARY OF DANGERS, WARNINGS,
AND CAUTIONS

specific meanings that identify the degree of hazard.
Typically in the HVAC industry, these specific mean-
ings are:
There is an immediate hazard which WILL result
in severe personal injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD
result in severe personal injury or death.
Potential hazards or unsafe practices which
COULD result in minor personal injury or equip-
ment damage.

TOOLS NEEDED
The following list includes the recommended tools,
devices, and cleaning solutions for use in cleaning the
52C,P unit and components.
MONTHLY CLEANING
AIR FILTERS — The indoor and vent air filters
should be cleaned once per month. Filters that are not
cleaned become clogged and will restrict airflow. This
may lead to major component damage. If a filter
becomes torn, has holes, or other damage, replace it
with a new one. Replacement filters are available
through Carrier Finished Goods and Carrier Replace-
ment Component Division.
CLEANING THE INDOOR AIR FILTER Two air
filters are located in the unit’s front panel. To remove
each filter simply grasp each filter handle with both
hands and gently pull the filter up and away from the
unit. See Figure 21.
REPLACING THE INDOOR AIR FILTER
Remove the indoor air filter as detailed in Cleaning
the Indoor Air Filter. If damaged, use a filter replace-
ment with the Carrier Part No. AIR-FILTER-10PK,
available through Carrier Finished Goods and Carrier
Replacement Component Division.
NOTE: Both filters are completely interchangeable.
CLEANING THE OUTDOOR AIR VENT FILTER
1. Remove the unit chassis from wall sleeve as
described in the General Disassembly section of
this manual. Refer to Remove the Unit from
the Wall Sleeve section.
2. Swing open vent door. The filter is located directly
behind the vent door. See Figure 22.
3. Once the filter is accessed, it may be cleaned using
either a vacuum cleaner, or a soft bristle brush
and a small amount of mild dish detergent. If
detergent is used, remove detergent residue with
a gentle, clean water stream. Allow the filter to
air dry.
REPLACING THE OUTDOOR AIR VENT FILTER —
If vent filter requires replacement:
1. Open vent door to access vent filter.
2. Remove vent door from hinges.
3. Using a small flat head screwdriver, pry the filter
from the partition.
4. Replace vent filter using Carrier Part No.
52CQ500144.
5. Reverse Steps 1-3 to reattach vent door.
CHASSIS
Occasional cleaning of the exterior surfaces of the
PTAC unit optimizes the unit’s appearance and
removes particles that may enter the air system. See
Figure 23. Mild detergents clean and reduce electro-
static charges on the plastic components of the PTAC
unit.
Use a clean cloth or brush to gently wipe exterior sur-
faces. Be careful not to push dirt or other fibers into
the unit’s interior components. Accessible wall sleeve
surfaces should also be wiped clean.

SEASONAL CLEANING
The indoor and outdoor coils should be cleaned at least
once during every season. Refer to ACCESSING
UNIT COMPONENTS section to prepare unit.
CLEANING THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR
COILS
1. Use a vacuum cleaner or soft bristle brush to
remove surface fibers and dirt from the interior
surface of evaporator coil and both surfaces of con-
denser coil. See Figure 24. It is important to apply
the tool in the same direction of the fins, not
against them. Applying the tool against the fins
may cause damage (fin edges may bend over).
2. With a tank sprayer or a trigger spray extension
tube, spray coil cleaning solution evenly across
the coils, making sure coils are thoroughly satu-
rated. See Figure 25. Refer to instructions on the
cleaning solution containers for best results. Do
not use a high-pressure sprayer.
3. Rinse the coils thoroughly with low-velocity, clean
warm water (less than 200 F).
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each coil surface.
5. Drain water and cleaning solution that may have
collected in the basepan during the cleaning pro-
cess by carefully tilting the chassis. This allows
excess water to flow out of the overflow notches.
6. Thoroughly clean the basepan and drain passages
by rinsing with clean water. Be sure all debris is
removed from the drain valve. See Figure 26.
7. Thoroughly clean outdoor fan assembly and all
other mechanical components located in outdoor
coil area. Be sure to remove all dirt and debris.
8. Clean wall sleeve.
CLEANING THE INDOOR FAN AND FAN
SCROLL — Dried debris and build-up on the blower
wheel and fan scroll can reduce the efficiency of the
unit.
1. ACCESS AND CLEAN INDOOR FAN AND
FAN SCROLL
a. Reach behind the indoor coil and vacuum any
loose debris from the condensate drain pan, fan
and other areas accessible to the fan scroll,
being careful to avoid damage to the coil fins.
b. Use mild detergent and a damp cloth to remove
stubborn debris from surfaces around scroll and
fan blades.
2. CLEAN HEATER ASSEMBLY — Use com-
pressed air to blow off any dirt or dust that has
accumulated on the heater coils.
NOTE: Do not direct air at the bi-metal discs on
the temperature limiter switches.
Coil fins are sharp and may cut hands. Wear heavy
protective gloves when cleaning coils.
Use only cleaning solutions that meet local codes.
Do not set unit on end to drain water from basepan,
or at any other time. Oil will drain from the com-
pressor sump, which could cause compressor failure.

COMPRESSOR
A cutaway view of the rotary compressor with key
components labeled is shown in Figure 27. The motor
stator is rigidly attached to the compressor shell. The
rotor is pressed onto the eccentric shaft, which is sup-
ported by 2 bearings. Both the discharge valve and dis-
charge muffler are attached to the motor bearing. The
pump bearing provides a thrust surface for the shaft
and the rolling piston. Compressed gas is separated
from the suction gas by the vane. Discharge gas pres-
sure and the vane spring keep the vane in contact with
the rolling piston.

The rotary compression process (Figure 28), starts at
top dead center as shown in (1). Suction gas flows
through the suction inlet and into the cylinder area.
As the shaft rotates through 90 degrees, the rolling
piston moves to position A as shown in (2). The suction
volume is now the area defined by point A and the tip
of the vane. Gas in the remaining volume has been
compressed above suction pressure. After another
90 degrees of shaft rotation, the rolling piston has
moved to position B as shown in (3). Both the com-
pressed gas and suction gas volumes are now equal.
Another 90 degrees of shaft rotation is shown in (4).
Compressed gas has reached a pressure sufficient to
open the discharge valve, and flows from the cylinder
into the compressor shell. After another 90 degrees of
shaft rotation, the entire process begins again. Contin-
uous suction and discharge allows for a smooth com-
pression process.
The rolling piston is not in actual contact with the cyl-
inder wall, vane, or bearing faces. Hydrodynamic seal-
ing prevents leakage from the compressed gas volume
to the suction volume via these paths. Precise control
of machining tolerances, surfaces, finishes, and assem-
bly clearances is critical to achieve high efficiency per-
formance. In addition, the line contact between the
vane tip and the rolling piston requires careful selec-
tion and control of materials to provide wear resis-

Refer to Figure 29 for a basic compressor troubleshoot-
ing chart.
BASIC HERMETIC COMPRESSOR
ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS
There are 2 basic electrical tests for hermetic compres-
sors that will determine the electrical state of the
motor. The first test requires checking the electrical
resistance of each of the electrical motor windings. The
second test requires checking the electrical resistance
of each of the electrical motor windings to ground.
These tests may be accomplished by performing the
following steps:
1. DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE UNIT.
2. Remove the unit chassis from the sleeve as
detailed in the UNIT DISASSEMBLY section.
3. Open the control box as detailed in the UNIT
DISASSEMBLY section, then locate, label, and
remove the 3 compressor wires from the following
locations: the RUN wire (BLACK) from the capac-
itor, the START wire (BLUE) from the capacitor.
The third wire, COMMON wire (YELLOW) may
be connected to one of the following locations: for
PC units the wire is on the indoor thermostat,
for CE, PE Remote Control Units the wire is
on the RC Control Board, for all other CE, PE
Units the wire is located on the rotary selector
switch. For ALL CQ, PQ Units the wire is on the
outdoor frost thermostat.
4. Perform a shorted/open windings test to measure
the resistance between the windings of the com-
pressor motor. Use a volt-ohmmeter set to the
lowest ohm reading level then read and record the
resistance between the RUN and START, START
and COMMON, and RUN and COMMON wires.
See Figure 30. The typical resistance readings will
be about 4, 3, and 1 ohms respectively. The
smaller values should add to equal the larger
value. If this is not true then the compressor is
likely shorted winding to winding.
NOTE: The rotary compressor has the compressor
overload located under the terminal cover. If the over-
load is open it can show ohm readings that are infinite.
The unit should be off for at least an hour to give this
overload time to reset if it is open.
For compressors that are known to be dam-
aged: Remove refrigerant prior to disconnecting
compressor wires. Damaged hermetic compressor
terminals may become loose and eject from the com-
pressor. Wear safety glasses and keep your face
away from the area above the terminals when
removing compressor wires.

FIGURE 29 — BASIC COMPRESSOR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
5. Next, perform a grounded windings test to test
the resistance individually of each wire to the
shell of the compressor. The paint on the compres-
sor can prevent good contact between the probe
and the metal. The paint should be removed from
a small section of the shell of the compressor to
ensure good contact by the meter probe. The volt-
ohmmeter should be set to at least the 100X ohm
level. The measured resistance between each wire
and ground should be infinite or O.L. on the
readout. If there is measurable resistance one of
the windings is likely shorted to ground. See
Figure 31.
6. A compressor that has a winding to winding short
or a winding to compressor shell short is electri-
cally failed and needs to be replaced. See the
Compressor Replacement section for details.
COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT
Before working on the compressor, read the instruc-
tions thoroughly and gather the necessary tools for the
job. Review all safety information on unit and in liter-
ature. Always turn off all power to unit to avoid the
possibility of electrical shock.

Consider the following safety issues before
beginning:
New and unfamiliar tasks should be performed
under the supervision of an experienced service
technician.
Personal protective equipment, such as work gloves
and safety glasses, should be worn.
The floor around the work area should be clean and
free of debris.
Make sure tools are the correct tools for the job and
that they are working properly and in good condition.
Never replace a blown fuse without correcting the
cause of the original failure. If thermally operated
circuit breakers or overloads are tripping, make
sure the trip is not due to excessively high tempera-
tures or loose connections.
When brazing suction and discharge lines, cool the
lines with a damp, clean cloth to prevent injury.
Oil may be present in the compressor accumulator
and interconnecting tubing. Use caution when
removing tubing.

TOOLS NEEDED — The following list includes the
recommended tools and devices for removing and
replacing the compressor.
REMOVING THE COMPRESSOR — Follow the
steps below to remove the compressor:
1. Disconnect all power to unit.
2. Remove unit from wall sleeve as detailed in the
UNIT DISASSEMBLY section. The unit weighs
up to 150 pounds. Seek assistance or use a lifting
device when removing unit from wall sleeve.
3. If the unit is a heat pump: Disconnect the wire
plug on the reversing valve solenoid and carefully
remove the outdoor thermostat capillary from the
outdoor coil. See Figure 32.
4. Attach the piercing valve to the suction side pro-
cess tube below the crimps. Attach Carrier
TOTALTEST® kit (Part No. TT1-001), to the
piercing valve to verify acidity of the system. After
verifying the system acidity, remove the refriger-
ant using a certified refrigerant recovery system.
5. When all the refrigerant has been recovered,
remove the terminal cover from the compressor
with a nut driver. Disconnect the 3 wires from the
compressor and label the location of each. Once
the wires are labeled, replace the terminal cover
to protect the compressor terminals.
6. Remove the air system components by following
the procedure detailed in the ACCESSING UNIT
COMPONENTS section.
7. Remove the piercing valve and cut the crimped
portion of both process tubes off with a small tub-
ing cutter. Braze an access valve on each process
tube. Using a torch, disconnect the suction and
discharge tubes from the compressor connections.
8. Remove the compressor mounting bolts, and
remove the compressor.
9. For all units: Remove and replace the strainer
and capillary tubes from the system. See Figure 32
for strainer and capillary tube location.
10. For Heat/Cool Units: Use an in-line filter drier
(P/N P504-80845). The filter drier can be installed
in any location in suction line. See Figure 33A for
general installation location.
For Heat Pump Units: Use an in-line filter drier
(P/N P504-80845) and install between the
reversing valve and the compressor accumu-
lator. There are several suction tube configura-
tions and the in-line filter drier will be field piped
and brazed into the suction tube for your unit. See
Figure 33B for a general installation location.
11. Remove the grommets from the existing compres-
sor and install them onto the new compressor.
For compressors that are known to be dam-
aged: Remove refrigerant prior to disconnecting
compressor wires. Damaged hermetic compressor
terminals may become loose and eject from the com-
pressor. Wear safety glasses and keep your face
away from the area above the terminals when
removing compressor wires.

12. Install the new compressor and the new capillary
assembly (the correct capillary and strainer may
be obtained from Carrier RCD), into the unit.
13. Leak check the unit with 150 psi of nitrogen
pressure.
14. For 52C,P units, the system should be evacuated
from the high side to the low side to a minimum
of 200 microns of mercury. This evacuation
removes residual moisture from the system prior
to charging.
15. For Heat Pump Units: Recharge unit to the
nameplate refrigerant charge using a charging
cylinder.
16. Pinch off each access valve on the process tubes,
in 2 places, using a pinch off tool such as Imperial
tool #105-FF or Robinair Tool #12294. Release any
refrigerant pressure trapped in the access valve
by depressing the valve core, then confirm that no
R-22 is leaking past the pinch off tool location. Cut
the access valve stem of the process tube above
the top crimp and braze the top of each process
tube to ensure the system is sealed, (leave the
pinch off tool in place until after the brazing pro-
cess is complete).
17. Reassemble the unit by reversing steps 1-9.
18. Connect the compressor wires and energize the
unit to verify operation.
REFRIGERANT CHARGING — Every mechanical
refrigeration system that is opened for servicing must
be accurately charged before it is returned to service.
Run the compressor ONLY after charging the system
with refrigerant.
It is important to remember that recovered and/or
recycled refrigerant may only be recharged into the
system from which it was initially recovered, or
another one owned by the same customer. Charge
level is important. Charge units only as recommended
by manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: The compressor should never be
operated without refrigerant!

HEATERS
The heater in 52C,P units is located directly behind
the evaporator coil. The heater assembly includes the
heater (2.3 kW, 3.4 kW or 5 kW), a primary limit
switch, and a secondary limit switch. See Figure 34.
The primary and secondary limit switches are safety
switches that regulate heater operation. The primary
limit switch disables current to the heater when the
temperature exceeds the setting on the switch.
For example, a 3.4 kW heater may have a primary
limit switch setting of 150 F. If the temperature at the
switch exceeds 150 F, the primary limit switch will
electrically open and shut off power to the heater.
Once the temperature drops below 110 F, the primary
limit switch will automatically reset.
The secondary limit switch works in the same manner
as the primary limit switch, except it is a one time
switch and has a slightly higher temperature setting.
Once this switch is thermally opened, it must be
replaced. Together the primary and secondary
switches help maintain safe temperature limits for
unit operation.
COMMON CAUSES OF
HEATER FAILURE
Heater failure may result from broken heater coils,
primary limit switch failure, or an open secondary
limit switch. These conditions are generally caused by
low or no airflow.
HEATER REMOVAL
Before working on the heater, read the instructions
thoroughly and gather the necessary tools for the job.
Review all safety information on the unit and in the
product literature.
The manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or
change at any time, specifications or designs without
notice and without incurring obligations.
Before performing any cleaning, servicing, or main-
tenance to the unit, Disconnect All Power to avoid
the possibility of electric shock and personal injury.
Consider the following safety issues:
Prior to performing any service or maintenance on
electrical equipment you must Disconnect All
Power.
New and unfamiliar tasks should be performed
under the supervision of an experienced service
technician.
Personal protective equipment, such as safety
glasses and work gloves, should be worn.
The floor around the work area should be clean and
free of debris.
Make sure tools are the correct tools for the job,
and that they are working properly and in good
condition.
FIGURE 34 — LIMIT SWITCH LOCATION

TOOLS NEEDED — The following list includes rec-
ommended tools and devices for working on the heater
section of 52C,P units.
Perform the following steps to remove the Heater
Assembly.
1. DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO UNIT.
2. Remove heater by following instructions in
ACCESSING UNIT COMPONENTS section.
After the heater is removed, examine the heater
as follows to determine if it is operational:
Perform a visual inspection. The heater coil should be
free of breaks. If there are any breaks in the coil,
replacement of the heater assembly is necessary. See
Figure 35.
Coil resistance must also be checked to verify the
heater is operating correctly. The resistance of the
heater coils must meet approximate levels for the
heater to perform at its optimum efficiency. See
Figure 36 for approximate resistance for heaters at
75 F. Before checking the heater coil resistance, be
sure all power to unit is off.
To check resistance, set the volt-ohmmeter selector
switch to the lowest ohms value. Next connect the volt-
ohmmeter leads to each side of the heater coil at the
studs that hold the limit switches in place. Incorrect
readings can be obtained if the wires are not removed
from the limit switches on the heater assembly. If the
resistive reading is infinite or zero, the heater is failed
and replacement is necessary. Reinstall the heater
assembly.

OPERATING CONTROLS
UNIT-MOUNTED CONTROLS
The controls and components used in the 52C,P cool-
ing only or heat/cool units are as follows: the selec-
tor switch, the indoor thermostat, the dual capacitor,
the temperature limiter, the vent lever, and the fan
cycle switch. See Figure 37.
The selector switch is used to determine the mode of
operation: heat, cool, fan, or off. The indoor thermostat
controls the room ambient temperature and cycles the
heater or the compressor based on the selector switch
setting. The dual capacitor aids in the start-up of the
compressor and the fan motor. The temperature limiter
is integrated into the control box top cover located
under front panel. It is a mechanical device that
restricts the amount of rotation of the thermostat. The
temperature limiter device may be adjusted by moving
the plastic temperature selector tabs to another temper-
ature location on the control box. The vent lever is
located on the front left side of the chassis. It is a slide
mechanism that opens and closes the vent door. The
vent control may be accessed by removing the front
panel of the unit. The fan cycle switch is used to provide
2 options of fan control. The first option, CON, causes
the fan to run continuously. The second option, CYC,
causes the fan to cycle on with the compressor or elec-
tric heater and off when the thermostat is satisfied.
The 52C,P heat pump unit contains all the compo-
nents of the heat/cool and cooling only unit, and the
following additional ones: the outdoor frost thermostat
and the reversing valve. The outdoor frost thermostat
prevents operation of the unit in the heat pump mode
when the outdoor coil temperature drops below 20 F,
or at about 35 F outdoor ambient temperature. The
unit automatically engages the electric heat strip and
disables the compressor under these conditions.
The outdoor frost thermostat has a manual override to
place the unit in electric heat mode operation only. The
override switch is located behind the front panel on
the front side of the unit control box door.
The reversing valve allows for operation in reverse cycle
heat pump mode. The valve is located in the piping sys-
tem and is controlled by the reversing valve solenoid
coil. The coil is energized only during the heating mode.
IMPORTANT: Placing the override switch to elec-
tric heat mode operation will disable the compres-
sor for ALL heating or cooling operations (for all
units except RC units). Placing the override switch
to electric heat mode operation on RC units will
only disable the compressor in heating mode.

WALL-MOUNTED THERMOSTAT
CONTROLS
For 52C,P wall thermostat control (RC, RP)
units, all controls are located on the wall-mounted
thermostat except the vent lever and outdoor thermo-
stat. Remote control is a factory or field-installed
option. There are 3 styles of thermostats qualified for
use with 52C,P series Remote Control units. See Fig-
ures 38-40. On remote control units, the fan cycle func-
tion is located on the wall thermostat. The rocker
switch on the control box door is used to set fan speed
to high or low. Factory default is low speed.
See Figures 41-43 for thermostat wiring.
A field conversion kit is available to convert an AA
model (standard unit-mounted controls) to an RC
model (wall-mounted controls).
REMOTE THERMOSTAT
TROUBLESHOOTING
Thermostat display is blank:
Check to make sure there is 24 VAC to the thermostat
(measure across terminals R and C at the thermostat).
If there is 24 VAC at the thermostat, check connec-
tions at the thermostat terminal block. If connections
are good and there is 24 VAC with no display, the ther-
mostat should be replaced.
Thermostat display is working but unit is not
heating or cooling:
At the RC terminal block on the unit, measure the con-
trol inputs coming from the thermostat. (Place one of
the meter leads on C and use the other to check the
voltage at each of the terminals.)
*24 VAC supplied if thermostat is in 2nd stage heating demand (large
difference between room temperature and setpoint).
NOTE: For heat pump units, the Outdoor Frost Thermostat (OFT) will
determine, based on outdoor temperature, whether to bring on the com-
pressor or electric heat in the Heating mode.
FIGURE 42 — THERMOSTAT TROUBLESHOOTING
If the inputs are not correct, then the thermostat is not
making a call for the mode requested. This could be
because the thermostat is in a unit protection mode,
not set up properly, miswired, has a broken wire, or it
may have failed.
IMPORTANT: No conversion kit is available to
convert from an RC model back to an AA model.

DESCRIPTION OF SELECTOR SWITCH
SETTINGS (Figure 44)
OFF MODE The OFF position terminates unit
operation.
FAN ONLY MODE Use fan only position for air
circulation without heating or cooling. Fan runs at
high speed.
HIGH HEAT OR HIGH COOL MODE Position
selector and temperature control knobs to desired com-
fort level. This function provides maximum heating or
cooling, and is recommended to raise or lower the room
temperature quickly.
LOW HEAT OR LOW COOL MODE Position
selector and temperature control knobs to desired com-
fort level. This function provides minimum heating
or cooling with maximum dehumidification during
cooling. This setting also allows for very quiet fan
operation.
FINDING TEMPERATURE SETTING FOR COM-
FORT LEVEL Set temperature knob in the middle.
Select High Heat, Low Heat or Cool position and allow
unit to run for 15 to 30 minutes. If room is not comfort-
able, turn knob setting slowly to change setting. When
room is comfortable, keep control knob at that
position.
NON-USER ADJUSTABLE CONTROLS
OUTSIDE OR VENT AIR Slide the vent lever to
the fully open position for outside air or fully closed
position for vented air.
FAN CYCLE The fan cycle switch allows the fan
to operate in 2 modes:
CON — Fan runs continuously, circulating air even
when the temperature setting has been satisfied. This
helps to maintain the room temperature closer to the
thermostat setting.
CYC —Fan cycles on and off with the compressor
during heating or cooling. Fan stops when the temper-
ature setting is satisfied. This results in longer unit
off-time and slightly larger variations in room temper-
ature and humidity.
OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT (52CQ, PQ Units Only)
The outdoor thermostat has 2 operating modes. The
heat pump mode (selector screw set fully clockwise),
allows the unit to operate normally in the reverse cycle
mode. The electric heat mode (selector screw set fully
counterclockwise), disables all compressor operating
modes, both heating and cooling for units with
mounted controls. For wall thermostat controlled mod-
els the compressor is only disabled in heating and still
allowed to run in cooling.

Defrost Cycle When heat pump unit is operating in
reverse cycle, the outdoor coil may begin to frost. As
frost accumulates on the outdoor coil the unit may
switch into defrost mode. The defrost mode is acti-
vated when the outdoor frost thermostat sensor
detects a temperature below 20 F on the coil. At this
point, the thermostat deenergizes the compressor and
activates the electric heat. The unit will remain in
electric heat mode until the outdoor thermostat senses
35 F coil temperature. The defrost mode is a passive
operation and may take some time before the coil
defrosts.

Before cleaning, servicing, performing maintenance
or removing the chassis from the wall sleeve, discon-
nect all power to the unit to avoid the possibility of
electrical shock and personal injury. Only trained
and qualified service personnel should perform
installation and service procedures on these units.
Untrained personnel may perform basic mainte-
nance tasks such as cleaning and replacing filters.
Refer to UNIT DISASSEMBLY section of this man-
ual for proper procedures to disconnect power to
52C,P units.

The Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or
change at any time, specifications or designs without
notice and without incurring obligations.
INDOOR THERMOSTAT (Heat/Cool and Cool Only
Units) (Figure 48) — The thermostat maintains the
selected temperature by cycling the compressor on and
off during cooling operation and the electric heater
during heating operation. The thermostat DOES
NOT switch from heating to cooling, or cooling
to heating. If the switch is in the CYCLE position,
then the fan will be cycled off when the thermostat
satisfies.
To verify the operation of the thermostat switch, a con-
tinuity test may be performed as follows:
1. Turn off unit power as described in UNIT
DISASSEMBLY section.
2. Remove wire leads from thermostat. Note their
locations to ease re-assembly.
3. Place one of the leads of the continuity tester on
the terminal marked 2, and the other lead on
either the terminal marked 1 or the terminal
marked 3.
4. Adjust the thermostat up or down to verify the
contacts of the switch open and close. When veri-
fying continuity of a closed switch, the ohm read-
ing should be 0 ohms. An open switch will show
OL on the meter.
5. When testing is complete, reconnect the leads.
INDOOR THERMOSTAT (Heat Pump Units)
(Figure 49) — The heat pump indoor thermostat uses a
two-stage switch for the heating mode. The first stage
engages the compressor and reversing valve, and the
unit operates in normal heat pump mode. The indoor
thermostat maintains the selected temperature by
cycling the compressor on and off in cooling mode. In
the heating mode, the indoor thermostat will cycle the
compressor or the heater, depending on the difference
between the actual room temperature and the thermo-
stat temperature setting.
When the room temperature is more than 4 F cooler
than the indoor thermostat setting, the second heating
stage of the indoor thermostat engages the electric
heat strip. This design feature allows the user to rap-
idly warm the room with the electric heat strip by
turning the thermostat to its highest setting. When
room temperatures approach the desired temperature,
the user may adjust the thermostat to a personal
comfort setting, which allows for normal heat pump
operation.
NOTE: For outdoor coil temperatures below approxi-
mately 20 F, the outdoor frost thermostat prevents
heat pump mode operation and immediately engages
the electric heat strip upon a call for heating. The elec-
tric heat strip is NEVER energized at the same time
as the compressor.
To verify operation of the heat pump indoor thermo-
stat switch, a continuity test may be performed as
follows:
1. Turn off unit power as described in UNIT
DISASSEMBLY section.
2. Remove wire leads from thermostat. Note their
locations to ease re-assembly.
3. To test stage A, place one lead of the continuity
tester on the terminal marked 2, and the other
lead on either the terminal marked 1 or the termi-
nal marked 3.
4. Adjust the thermostat up or down to verify the
contacts of the switch open and close. When veri-
fying continuity of the closed switch, the reading
on the meter should be 0 ohms. An open switch
will show OL on the meter.
5. To test stage B contacts, place one lead of the con-
tinuity tester on contact 5 and the other lead on
either contact 4 or contact 6.
6. Adjust the thermostat up or down to verify the
contacts of the switch open and close as in Step 4.
7. When testing is complete, reconnect the leads.
Consider the following safety issues:
Prior to performing any service or maintenance on
electrical equipment you must Disconnect All
Power.
New and unfamiliar tasks should be performed
under the supervision of an experienced service
technician.
Personal protective equipment, such as safety
glasses and work gloves, should be worn.
The floor around the work area should be clean and
free of debris.
Make sure tools are the correct tools for job, and
that they are working properly and in good
condition.
The 52C,P unit may weigh up to 150 pounds. Use a
lifting device or ask for assistance if the unit must
be moved.

OUTDOOR FROST THERMOSTAT (Heat Pump
Units) (Figure 50A and 50B) — The Outdoor Frost
Thermostat (OFT) is a thermostat that uses a single-
pole switch with a manual override selector. The ther-
mostat switches between electric heat and compressor
operation when the temperature of the outdoor coil
falls below 20 F or rises above 35 F. Switching the
override selector to electric heat disables the reverse
cycle operation of the thermostat and is manually
switched to electric heat operation.
To verify the OFT is operational, a continuity test may
be performed as follows:
1. Turn off unit power as described in UNIT
DISASSEMBLY section.
2. Remove the leads from the OFT. Note their loca-
tions to ease re-assembly.
3. Connect the continuity tester to the switch termi-
nals marked 1 and 2.
4. Rotate the override switch to the electric heat set-
ting and verify that there is continuity between
terminals 1 and 2.
5. To check the other contacts, move the lead on ter-
minal 1 to terminal 3. Rotate the override switch
to the heat pump setting. There should now be
continuity between terminals 2 and 3.
6. Once the test is complete, reconnect the leads.
CAPACITOR — The 52C,P units use a dual
capacitor. One part of the capacitor is used with the
fan motor. The other part of the capacitor is used by
the compressor.
Run circuits on single-phase compressor motors use
capacitors which dramatically affect the motor opera-
tion. Run capacitors are connected to the motor circuit
at all times.
To evaluate the capacitor, perform a visual check first.
A shorted capacitor may give a visual indication of its
failure. For example, the pop-out hole at the top of a
start capacitor may bulge or blow out. A run capacitor
may bulge or leak. In these instances, the capacitor
must be replaced with one recommended by the manu-
facturer. If there are no visual signs of capacitor fail-
ure, testing of the capacitor resistance may be done
with a volt-ohmmeter as detailed below:
1. Turn off unit power as described in UNIT
DISASSEMBLY section but do not unplug the
service cord; it will supply ground connection for
the unit chassis. Check to ensure power is off
and LOCKED OUT.
2. Connect one lead of a 20,000 ohm, 2-watt resistor
to the center group of terminals on the dual capac-
itor. Attach the other lead from the resistor to an
unpainted metal section of the unit chassis. This
allows that section of the dual capacitor to dis-
charge. Repeat this process between the other
group of terminals.
3. Locate and disconnect the wires from the start
and/or run capacitor to isolate them from the
remainder of the circuit. Refer to the unit wiring
diagram if you need assistance locating wires.
4. Perform capacitor test. Set up the volt-ohmmeter
to measure resistance by connecting terminals C
to FAN and C to HERM on the meter. See
Figure 51.
IMPORTANT: Placing the override switch to elec-
tric heat mode operation will disable the compres-
sor for ALL heating or cooling operations (for all
units except RC units). Placing the override switch
to electric heat mode operation on RC units will
only disable the compressor in heating mode.
Capacitors are capable of holding charge similar to a
battery and may cause an electrical shock.

5. The reading on the meter should first indicate
zero, or a low resistance, then slowly rise toward
infinity or some high value or measurable resis-
tance. This indicates the capacitor is most likely
good. If the reading goes to zero or a low resis-
tance and stays there, the capacitor is likely
shorted and needs replacement. If the reading
immediately indicates infinity, the capacitor is
likely open and must be replaced.
6. Replace the capacitor if failed and rewire accord-
ing to the WIRING SCHEMATICS located in the
control box of the unit.
FAN CYCLE SWITCH The fan cycle switch has
2 operating modes, continuous (CON) and cycle (CYC).
To verify the fan cycle switch is operational, a continu-
ity test may be performed as follows:
1. Turn off unit power as described in UNIT
DISASSEMBLY section.
2. Label and remove the leads connected to fan cycle
switch. See Figure 52.
3. Connect the volt-ohmmeter for 1X ohms and check
for continuity from terminal 2 to 1 then change
the switch position and check for continuity from
terminal 2 to 3.
4. Once test is complete, reconnect the leads.

FAN MOTOR
The fan motor is a permanent split capacitor (PSC)
type motor. This motor is common in air-conditioning
system applications. A PSC motor does not require the
use of a relay and always has a run capacitor con-
nected between the run and start windings of the
motor. See Figure 55.
The 52C,P series fan motor has a motor shaft extended
through both ends. It powers both the indoor and the
outdoor fans. It has permanently sealed bearings that
require no lubrication. There are many different fan
motor models, but they typically are 2-speed and in
2 voltage categories, 208/230 and 265 volts.
FAN MOTOR TROUBLESHOOTING
Refer to Figure 56 for a basic fan motor troubleshoot-
ing chart.
TOOLS NEEDED The following list includes rec-
ommended tools and devices for working on the fan
motor of 52C,P units.
The Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or
change at any time, specifications or designs without
notice and without incurring obligations.
BASIC FAN MOTOR ELECTRICAL TESTS
There are 2 basic electrical tests for PSC fan motors
that will determine the electrical state of the motor.
The first test requires checking the electrical resis-
tance between the motor windings. The second test
requires checking the electrical resistance between the
motor windings and ground. These tests may be
accomplished by performing the following steps:
1. DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO UNIT.
2. Open the control box as detailed in the UNIT
DISASSEMBLY section.
3. Label and disconnect the fan motor wires from
the selector switch and capacitor as shown in
Figure 54. Two-speed motors have 2 wires on the
capacitor and 2 wires on the push button switch.
4. Measure and record the resistance between the
black wire and each of the other wires. Make sure
the motor is cool before attempting to measure
resistance. The internal thermostat of the motor
may be electrically open and will not close until
the motor cools. See Figure 57 for typical motor
winding resistance measurements. The resistance
values in the table are approximate. Values that
are within 10% of those listed are acceptable. If
the motor in your model is not listed, find a motor
of similar horsepower and voltage on the chart
and compare it to the resistance measurements of
your motor.
5. Measure the resistance of each of the motor wires
to the motor casing. The resistance should be infi-
nite. Make sure the motor is cool before attempt-
ing to measure resistance. The internal
thermostat of the motor may be electrically open
and will not close until the motor cools. A motor
that has measurable resistance to ground is
shorted to ground and must be replaced.

MOST FREQUENT PTAC SERVICE QUESTIONS
1. Can remote wall thermostats be used on
standard (AA) models? No, only for use on remote control (RC,RP) models. How-
ever, accessory RC-Retrofit Kit can be ordered to convert
standard units to RC units.
2. Which remote thermostats are acceptable
for use on 52C,P products? HH01AD045 Manual changeover thermostat
TSTATCCBPC01-B (Heat/Cool) — Non-Programmable
thermostat
TSTATCCBPH01-B (Heat Pump) — Non-Programmable
thermostat
TSTATCCPAC01-B (Heat/Cool) — Digital Programmable
thermostat
TSTATCCPHP01-B (Heat Pump) — Digital Programmable
thermostat
3. How many 52C,P series units can be
controlled by one remote thermostat? Maximum of 4.
4. What is the vent capacity of the
52C,P products? 50 cfm (standalone). Capacity can be increased with the
use of an external exhaust fan.
5. How do the 52C,P series models handle
condensate removal? By using a 2-stage condensate removal system. First
stage uses a slinger ring to pick up condensate and move
it to the outdoor coil to be evaporated. In second stage, a
vortex pump will suck condensate water into the con-
denser airstream where it will be blown onto the outdoor
coil for evaporation.
6. At what temperature will the outdoor
(defrost) thermostat switch the unit (heat
pumps only) into defrost (emergency heat)
mode?
When the outdoor coil temperature falls below 20 F
(outdoor ambient temperature of approximately 35 F)
and will stay in a passive defrost until outdoor coil is
greater than 35 F.
7. Can the PTAC unit be configured to allow
continuous fan operation? Yes. A switch located on the front of the control
box is used to toggle between continuous or cycle
fan mode.
8. Can the discharge air grille be changed to
alter the direction of the airflow? Yes. Remove the 2 screws and flip the grille over
180 degrees.
9. What does the outdoor thermostat
switch do? The selector screw, located on the front of the control
box, prevents the compressor from energizing in
heating mode during subfreezing conditions to ensure
adequate heating capacity. For units with unit-mounted
controls, the switch must be returned to the ‘‘heat pump’’
position for compressor operation during cooling modes.
