Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate air
inlets near exhaust vents or other sources of contaminated
air. For proper unit operation, adequate combustion and
ventilation air must be provided in accordance with
Section 5.3 (Air for Combustion and Ventilation) of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (American
National Standards Institute) and NFPA (National Fire
Protection Association) 54 TIA-- - 54-- - 84-- - 1. In Canada,
installation must be in accordance with the CAN1-- - B149
installation codes for gas burning appliances.
Although unit is weatherproof, avoid locations that permit
water from higher level runoff and overhangs to fall onto
the unit.
Locate mechanical draft system flue assembly at least 4 ft
(1.2 m) from any opening through which combustion
products could enter the building, and at least 4 ft (1.2 m)
from any adjacent building (or per local code). Locate the
flue assembly at least 10 ft (3.05 m) from an adjacent
unit’s fresh air intake hood if within 3 ft (0.91 m) of same
elevation (or per local code). When unit is located
adjacent to public walkways, flue assembly must be at
least 7 ft (2.1 m) above grade.

Electrical Connections: Knockouts are located in the
control box area. Remove the appropriate size knockout
for high voltage connection. Use the field supplied
connector depending on wiring or conduit being utilized.
Remove the 7/8 - in (22mm) knockout and appropriate
connector for low voltage wiring. If non-- unit powered
convenience outlet is being utilized, remove the 7/8 - in
(22mm) knockout and utilize appropriate connector for
115 volt line. See “Step 12 — Making Electrical
Connections” for details.
Gas Connections: Remove the knockout in the base pan
and route 3/4 - in. gas line up through the opening. Install
an elbow and route gas line through opening in panel after
first removing plastic bushing. Install a gas shut off
followed by a drip leg and ground-- joint union. Route gas
line into gas section through the grommet (Part #:
KA56SL112) at the gas inlet and into the gas valve. See
Fig. 17 and Table 2. If a regulator is installed, it must be
located 4 feet (1.22 meters) from the flue outlet.

NOTE: Pressure test the gas supply system after the gas
supply piping is connected to the gas valve. The supply
piping must be disconnected from the gas valve during the
testing of the piping systems when test pressure is in
excess of 0.5 psig (3450 Pa). Pressure test the gas supply
piping system at pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psig
(3450 Pa). The unit heating section must be isolated from
the gas piping system by closing the external main manual
shutoff valve and slightly opening the ground-- joint union.
Check for gas leaks at the field--installed and
factory--installed gas lines after all piping connections have
been completed. Use soap--and--water solution (or method
specified by local codes and/or regulations).

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death and/or property damage.
S Connect gas pipe to unit using a backup wrench to
avoid damaging gas controls.
S Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber.
S Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a
commercially available soap solution made
specifically for the detection of leaks to check all
connections.
S Use proper length of pipe to avoid stress on gas
control manifold.

Some municipal codes require that the manual shutoff
valve be located upstream of the sediment trap. See
Fig. 18 for typical piping arrangements for gas piping that
has been routed through the sidewall of the base pan.
When installing the gas supply line, observe local codes
pertaining to gas pipe installations. Refer to the NFPA
54/ANSI Z223.1 NFGC latest edition (in Canada, CAN/CSA
B149.1). In the absence of local building codes, adhere to
the following pertinent recommendations:
1. Avoid low spots in long runs of pipe. Grade all pipe
1/ - in. in every 15 ft (7 mm in every 5 m) to prevent
4
traps. Grade all horizontal runs downward to risers.
Use risers to connect to heating section and to meter.
2. Protect all segments of piping system against physical
and thermal damage. Support all piping with appropriate straps, hangers, etc. Use a minimum of one
hanger every 6 ft (1.8 m). For pipe sizes larger than
1/ - in., follow recommendations of national codes.
2
3. Apply joint compound (pipe dope) sparingly and only to
male threads of joint when making pipe connections.
Use only pipe dope that is resistant to action of liquefied petroleum gases as specified by local and/or national codes. If using PTFE (Teflon) tape, ensure the material is Double Density type and is labeled for use on gas
lines. Apply tape per manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Pressure-- test all gas piping in accordance with local
and national plumbing and gas codes before connecting piping to unit.

Factory-- Option Thru-- Base Connections —
All units are equipped with the ability to bring utilities
through the base.
Gas is brought up through an embossed area located in the
gas section behind the gas entrance post. Access is gained
through the gas access panel. A knock out must be
removed to accomplish this.
The electrical entrance is located in the control box area
and can be accessed through the control box access panel.
An embossed area is provided with three knock outs. High
voltage is brought through the multi knock out by
removing the appropriate size for the size of the fitting
required. A 7/8 - in. knock out is provided for low voltage.
An additional 7/8 - in. knock out is provided for a 115 volt
line which is used when the unit is equipped with the
non-- unit powered convenience outlet option.

The 48HC unit requires an external temperature control
device. This device can be a thermostat (field-- supplied)
or a PremierLink controller (available as factory-- installed
option or as field-- installed accessory, for use on a Carrier
Comfort Network or as a stand alone control) or the RTU
Open for Building Management Systems using non-- CCN
protocols (RTU Open is available as a factory-- installed
option only).
Thermostat —
Install a Carrier-- approved accessory 2-- stage thermostat
according to installation instructions included with the
accessory. Locate the thermostat accessory on a solid wall
in the conditioned space to sense average temperature in
accordance with the thermostat installation instructions.
If the thermostat contains a logic circuit requiring 24-- v
power, use a thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of
different colors with minimum of seven leads. If the
thermostat does not require a 24-- v source (no “C”
connection required), use a thermostat cable or equivalent
with minimum of six leads. Check the thermostat
installation instructions for additional features which
might require additional conductors in the cable.
For wire runs up to 50 ft. (15 m), use no. 18 AWG
(American Wire Gage) insulated wire (35_C minimum).
For 50 to 75 ft. (15 to 23 m), use no. 16 AWG insulated
wire (35_C minimum). For over 75 ft. (23 m), use no. 14
AWG insulated wire (35_C minimum). All wire sizes
larger than no. 18 AWG cannot be directly connected to
the thermostat and will require a junction box and splice
at the thermostat.
Unit without Thru-- Base Connection Kit —
Correctly rated low voltage wire can be routed through the
rubber grommet located on the corner post adjacent to the
control box access panel. Route wire through the grommet
and then route the wire behind the corner post utilizing the

The PremierLink controller (see Fig. 36) is compatible
with Carrier Comfort Networkr (CCN) devices. This
control is designed to allow users the access and ability to
change factory-- defined settings, thus expanding the
function of the standard unit control board. CCN service
access tools include System Pilott, Touch Pilott and
Service Tool. (Standard tier display tools Navigatort and
Scrolling Marquee are not suitable for use with latest
PremierLink controller (Version 2.x).)
The PremierLink control is factory--mounted in the 48HC
unit’s main control box to the right of the Central Terminal
Board (CTB) (see Fig. 37). Factory wiring is completed
through harnesses connected to the CTB thermostat. Field
connections are made at a 16-- pole terminal block (TB3)
located at the top of the unit control box in front of the
PremierLink controller. The factory--installed PremierLink
control includes the supply--air temperature (SAT) sensor.
The outdoor air temperature (OAT) sensor is included in the
FIOP/accessory EconoMi$ert2 package. (See page 45 for
accessory enthalpy controls.)
The PremierLink controller requires the use of
electronic thermostat or a CCN connection
broadcast to initiate its internal timeclock.

Indoor Air Quality (CO2) Sensor —
The indoor air quality sensor accessory monitors space
carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. This information is used to
monitor IAQ levels. Several types of sensors are available,
for wall mounting in the space or in return duct, with and
without LCD display, and in combination with space
temperature sensors. Sensors use infrared technology to
measure the levels of CO2 present in the space air.

48HC

The CO2 sensors are all factory set for a range of 0 to
2000 ppm and a linear mA output of 4 to 20. Refer to the
instructions supplied with the CO2 sensor for electrical
requirements and terminal locations. See Fig. 46 for
typical CO2 sensor wiring schematic.

To connect the sensor to the control, identify the positive
(4 to 20 mA) and ground (SIG COM) terminals on the
sensor. See Fig. 46. Connect the 4-- 20 mA terminal to
terminal TB3-- 9 and connect the SIG COM terminal to

Fig. 46 - Indoor/Outdoor Air Quality (CO2) Sensor
(33ZCSENCO2) - Typical Wiring Diagram

To accurately monitor the quality of the air in the
conditioned air space, locate the sensor near a return-- air
grille (if present) so it senses the concentration of CO2
leaving the space. The sensor should be mounted in a
location to avoid direct breath contact.
Do not mount the IAQ sensor in drafty areas such as near
supply ducts, open windows, fans, or over heat sources.
Allow at least 3 ft (0.9 m) between the sensor and any
corner. Avoid mounting the sensor where it is influenced
by the supply air; the sensor gives inaccurate readings if
the supply air is blown directly onto the sensor or if the
supply air does not have a chance to mix with the room air
before it is drawn into the return airstream.
Wiring the Indoor Air Quality Sensor: For each sensor,
use two 2-- conductor 18 AWG (American Wire Gage)
twisted-- pair cables (unshielded) to connect the separate
isolated 24 vac power source to the sensor and to connect
the sensor to the control board terminals.

Wiring the Outdoor Air CO2 Sensor: A dedicated
power supply is required for this sensor. A two-- wire cable
is required to wire the dedicated power supply for the
sensor. The two wires should be connected to the power
supply and terminals 1 and 2.
To connect the sensor to the control, identify the positive
(4 to 20 mA) and ground (SIG COM) terminals on the
OAQ sensor. See Fig. 46. Connect the 4 to 20 mA
terminal to the TB3-- 13 terminal of the 48HC. Connect the

Space Relative Humidity Sensor or Humidistat
Connections —
Space Relative Humidity Sensor connections: The
accessory space relative humidity sensor (33ZCSENSRH-01)
is installed on an interior wall to measure the relative
humidity of the air within the occupied space.
The use of a standard 2 X 4 inch electrical box to
accommodate the wiring is recommended for installation.
The sensor can be mounted directly on the wall, if
acceptable by local codes.

TB3-7
TB3-13

CAUTION

BLACK

!

The sensor must be mounted vertically on the wall. The
Carrier logo should be orientated correctly when the
sensor is properly mounted.
Avoid corner locations. Allow at least 4 ft between the
sensor and any corner. Airflow near corners tends to be
reduced, resulting in erratic sensor readings. The sensor
should be vertically mounted approximately 5 ft up from
the floor, beside the space temperature sensor.
For wiring distances up to 500 feet, use a 3-- conductor, 18
or 20 AWG cable. ACCN communication cable can be
used, although the shield is not required. The shield must
be removed from the sensor end of the cable if this cable
is used. See Fig. 51 for wiring details.

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in
permanent damage to the sensor.
DO NOT clean or touch the sensing element with
chemical solvents as they can permanently damage the
sensor.

The RTU Open controller requires the use of a Carrier
space sensor. A standard thermostat cannot be used with
the RTU Open system.
Supply Air Temperature (SAT) Sensor —
On FIOP--equipped 48HC unit, the unit is supplied with a
supply--air temperature (SAT) sensor (33ZCSENSAT). This
sensor is a tubular probe type, approx 6--inches (12.7 mm) in
length. It is a nominal 10--k ohm thermistor.
The SAT is factory--wired. The SAT probe is wire--tied to the
supply--air opening (on the horizontal opening end) in its
shipping position. Remove the sensor for installation.
Re--position the sensor in the flange of the supply--air
opening or in the supply air duct (as required by local
codes). Drill or punch a 1/2- in. hole in the flange or duct.
Use two field--supplied, self--drilling screws to secure the
sensor probe in a horizontal orientation. See Fig. 40.
Outdoor Air Temperature (OAT) Sensor —
The OAT is factory--mounted in the EconoMi$er2 (FIOP or
accessory). It is a nominal 10k ohm thermistor attached to
an eyelet mounting ring.

EconoMi$er2 —
The RTU Open control is used with EconoMi$er2 (option
or accessory) for outdoor air management. The damper
position is controlled directly by the RTU Open control;
EconoMi$er2 has no internal logic device.
Outdoor air management functions can be enhanced with
field-- installation of these accessory control devices:
Enthalpy control (outdoor air or differential sensors)
Space CO2 sensor
Outdoor air CO2 sensor

Field Connections
Field connections for accessory sensors and input devices
are made the RTU Open, at plugs J1, J2, J4, J5, J11 and
J20. All field control wiring that connects to the RTU
Open must be routed through the raceway built into the
corner post as shown in Fig. 31. The raceway provides the
UL required clearance between high-- and low--voltage
wiring. Pass the control wires through the hole provided in
the corner post, then feed the wires thorough the raceway

Space Temperature (SPT) Sensors —
There are two types of SPT sensors available from Carrier,
resistive input non-communicating (T55, T56, and T59)
and Rnet communicating (SPS, SPPL, SPP, and SPPF)
sensors. Each type has a variety of options consisting of:
timed override button, set point adjustment, a LCD
screen, and communication tie in. Space temperature can
be also be written to from a building network or zoning
system. However, it is still recommended that return air
duct sensor be installed to allow stand-alone operation for
back-up. Refer to the configuration section for details on
controller configurations associated with space sensors.
S 33ZCT55SPT, space temperature sensor with override

Indoor Air Quality (CO2) Sensor —

The indoor air quality sensor accessory monitors space
carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. This information is used to
monitor IAQ levels. Several types of sensors are available,
for wall mounting in the space or in return duct, with and
without LCD display, and in combination with space
temperature sensors. Sensors use infrared technology to
measure the levels of CO2 present in the space air.

Fig. 60 - RTU Open T-- 55 Sensor Connections

The CO2 sensors are all factory set for a range of 0 to
2000 ppm and a linear mA output of 4 to 20. Refer to the
instructions supplied with the CO2 sensor for electrical
requirements and terminal locations. See Fig. 46 for
typical CO2 sensor wiring schematic.

Connect T-- 56: See Fig. 43 for T-- 56 internal connections.
Install a jumper between SEN and SET terminals as
illustrated. Connect T-- 56 terminals to RTU Open J20-- 1,
J20-- 2 and J20-- 3 per Fig. 61.

To accurately monitor the quality of the air in the
conditioned air space, locate the sensor near a return-- air
grille (if present) so it senses the concentration of CO2
leaving the space. The sensor should be mounted in a
location to avoid direct breath contact.

Do not mount the IAQ sensor in drafty areas such as near
supply ducts, open windows, fans, or over heat sources.
Allow at least 3 ft (0.9 m) between the sensor and any
corner. Avoid mounting the sensor where it is influenced
by the supply air; the sensor gives inaccurate readings if
the supply air is blown directly onto the sensor or if the
supply air does not have a chance to mix with the room air
before it is drawn into the return airstream.

Outdoor Air Quality Sensor (PNO 33ZCSENCO2 plus
weatherproof enclosure) —
The outdoor air CO2 sensor is designed to monitor carbon
dioxide (CO2) levels in the outside ventilation air and
interface with the ventilation damper in an HVAC system.
The OAQ sensor is packaged with an outdoor cover. See
Fig. 48. The outdoor air CO2 sensor must be located in the
economizer outside air hood.
Wiring the Outdoor Air CO2 Sensor: A dedicated
power supply is required for this sensor. A two-- wire cable
is required to wire the dedicated power supply for the
sensor. The two wires should be connected to the power
supply and terminals 1 and 2.
To connect the sensor to the control, identify the positive
(4 to 20 mA) and ground (SIG COM) terminals on the
OAQ sensor. See Fig. 46. Connect the 4 to 20 mA
terminal to RTU Open terminal J4-- 5. Connect the SIG
COM terminal to RTU Open terminal J4-- 6. See Fig. 64.

Space Relative Humidity Sensor or Humidistat —
Humidi-- MiZerR Control Wiring: In units equipped
with the Humidi-- MiZer option there are two pink (PNK)
wires loose in the control box used to control the
dehumidification function of the unit. These pink wires
are meant to be tied to a space humidistat or thermidistat
on an electromechanical unit. On RTU Open equipped
units these pink wires must be connected to J11-- 7 & 8 to
allow the Open board to operate the dehumidification
function for the unit. Disconnect the J11 Phoenix style
connector from the board and use the plug screws to
secure the pink wires in pins 7 and 8, reconnect the plug
to the board at J11.
Relative Humidity Sensors (Space or Duct Mounted):
The accessory space humidity sensor (33ZCSENSRH-01)
or duct humidity sensor (33ZCSENDRH-01) is used to
measure the relative humidity of air within the space or
return air duct. The RH reading is used to control the
Humidi-- MiZer option of the rooftop unit. For wiring
distances up to 500 ft (152 m), use a 3-- conductor, 18 or
20 AWG shielded cable. The shield must be removed
from the sensor end of the cable and grounded at the unit
end. The current loop power for sensor is provided by the
RTU Open controller as 24vdc. Refer to the instructions
supplied with the RH sensor for the electrical
requirements and terminal locations. RTU Open
configurations must be changed after adding an RH
sensor. See Fig. 65 and 66 for typical RH sensor wiring.
S J4-- 1 or J4-- 4 = 24vdc loop power
S J4-- 2 or J4-- 5 = 4-- 20mA signal input

Humidistat: The accessory humidistat provides the RTU
Open insight to the relative humidity in the space. The
humidistat reads the RH level in the space and compares it
to its setpoint to operate a dry contact. The humidistat is a
dedicated input on the configurable input 9 and tells the
RTU Open when the RH level is HIGH or LOW. The
normal condition for humidity is LOW. A normally open
humidistat is the factory default control for the
Humidi-- MiZerR option.

Smoke Detector/Fire Shutdown (FSD) —
On 48HC units equipped with factory--installed Smoke
Detector(s), the smoke detector controller implements the
unit shutdown through its NC contact set connected to the
unit’s CTB input. The FSD function is initiated via the
smoke detector’s Alarm NO contact set. The RTU Open
controller communicates the smoke detector’s tripped status
to the BAS building control. See Figs. 58 and 59, the RTU
Open wiring schematics.

Power Exhaust (output): The relay used by the RTU
Open board to control power exhaust is a dry contact
which means it does not have 24vac. This 24vac must be
connected to the relay to allow it to operate the power
exhaust relay in the PE accessory. A 24vac source must be
provided to J11-- 2 on the RTU Open control board. This
can be provided by the unit’s transformer from various
sources. The “R” terminal on the unit’s low voltage
terminal board (LVTB) is a logical source. Refer to Fig.
57 and Fig. 58 or 59 for wire terminations at J11.

Communication Wiring -- Protocols
General —
Protocols are the communication languages spoken by
control devices. The main purpose of a protocol is to
communicate information in the most efficient method
possible. Different protocols exist to provide different
kinds of information for different applications. In the BAS
application, many different protocols are used, depending
on manufacturer. Protocols do not change the function of
a controller; just make the front end user different.

The RTU Open can be set to communicate on four
different protocols: BACnet, Modbus, N2, and LonWorks.
Switch 3 (SW3) on the board is used to set protocol and
baud rate. Switches 1 and 2 (SW1 and SW2) are used to
set the board’s network address. See Fig. 67 and 68 for
protocol switch settings and address switches. The 3rd
party connection to the RTU Open is through plug J19.
See Fig. 69 for wiring.
NOTE: Power must be cycled after changing the SW1-- 3
switch settings.
Refer to the RTU Open Controller Integration Guide
(Catalog No. 11--808--428--01) for more detailed information
on protocols, 3rd party wiring, and networking.

Determine maximum deviation from average voltage.
(AB) 227 – 224 = 3 v
(BC) 231 – 227 = 4 v
(AC) 227 – 226 = 1 v
Maximum deviation is 4 v.
Determine percent of voltage imbalance.

This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the
maximum allowable 2%.
IMPORTANT: If the supply voltage phase imbalance is more than
2%, contact your local electric utility company immediately.
