• VAV units provide multiple stage,
cooling capacity control for
improved part load operation and
greater efficiency
• optional digital compressors provide
a nearly infinite number of steps of
capacity for unmatched load match-
ing and part load performance
• Humidi-MiZer adaptive dehumidifi-
cation system
• refrigeration system designed to
operate with outdoor temperatures
down to 32 F, optionally to –20 F.
• modulating power exhaust or return
fan options for precise building
pressure control
Filtration
The filter options include mixed air and
final filter choices. The MERV ratings
range from a MERV 8 to a MERV 17
HEPA type. The filters are snug fitting
in a rigid track with seals that limit air
leakage around the filters.
Installation and serviceability
Access panels — All full-size access
panels are hinged for easy access to
serviceable components. No fasteners
need to be removed to open the
hinged panels. This reduces service
time and prevents roof leaks caused by
discarded screws puncturing the roof.
Electrical connections — Single
point electrical connections are stan-
dard on all units. Electrical service ac-
cess can be made through roof curb or
side of unit. All 48N units provide a
single point gas connection.
Run testing — To ensure a successful
start-up, every rooftop unit is factory
run tested.
Unit design — Unit design is ETL
and ETL, Canada, listed according to
UL (Underwriters Laboratories) Stan-
dard 1995.
Navigator™ display module —
When using the standard Navigator
user interface, serviceability becomes
even easier, including:
• local or remote alarm and alert
monitoring
• self-diagnostic run testing to confirm
control and component operation
• expedited troubleshooting and unit
repair through self-diagnostic dis-
play of unit troubleshooting alert
and alarm codes with expanded text
descriptions to immediately identify
reason for unit outage
• filter maintenance alarm
• monitoring of supply-air fan run
time, permitting easy service sched-
ule planning
Tranducers — Serviceability is further
facilitated with suction and discharge
pressure transducers. These allow suc-
tion pressure and discharge pressure to
be monitored remotely with alarm ca-
pability. These transducers also control
condenser head pressure to maintain
the minimum differential pressure re-
quired across the electronic expansion
valve (EXV) for proper operation, re-
ducing energy consumption.
Non-fused disconnect — A factory
installed non-fused disconnect (NFD)
option is available to simplify unit in-
stallation and improve unit serviceabili-
ty. The location of the NFD in the
main control box simplifies field power
supply routing into the unit. The NFD
incorporates an access panel interlock
feature, ensuring that all power to the
unit will be disconnected before a ser-
vice person opens the control box.
Gas heat units (48N units)
The 48N units are gas heating units,
using natural gas combustion, with up
to 4 heat sizes available for every unit.
The unit heating systems employ multi-
ple heat exchanger sections, with each
section equipped with a 2-stage redun-
dant gas valve and independent igni-
tion control, with all sections operating
in parallel.
Units with gas modulating heating
are equipped with an additional modu-
lating gas valve installed downstream
of the 2-stage redundant gas valve.
Gas heat system — The induced
draft fan system draws hot combustion
gas through the heat exchanger tubes
at the optimum rate for the most effec-
tive heat transfer and combustion pro-
cess. The heat exchanger operates un-
der a negative pressure, preventing
flue gas leakage into the indoor supply
air.
Flue outlet hoods with wind baffles
are located on the side of the unit, to
minimize the effects of wind on heat-
ing operations. Standard units use 2-
stage control, for unoccupied, morning
warm-up and occupied space heating.
Modulating control option is available
by specifying the modulating gas con-
trol option.
A single hinged panel gains access to
the complete heat exchanger assembly
and controls, for improved serviceabili-
ty. A single point gas connection pro-
vides for easy installation.
Heat exchanger — The tubular steel
heat exchanger design optimizes heat
transfer for improved efficiency. The
tubular design permits multiple passes
across the supply air path. Each tube
has an individual in-shot burner, ensur-
ing uniform combustion in each tube
of the heat exchangers. Tubes are dim-
pled to create a turbulent gas flow to
maximize heat efficiency and to ensure
uniform surface temperatures for re-
duced corrosion effects, improved du-
rability and long-life service. Heat ex-
changer material is aluminized steel or
optionally, stainless steel for improved
corrosion resistance and reliability.
Integrated gas unit controller —
The IGC (integrated gas unit controller)
ignition and safety control system is
used on each heat exchanger section.
The IGC, unique to Carrier rooftop
units, simplifies system evaluation and
troubleshooting by providing system
status and visual fault notification via
an on-board LED (light-emitting diode).
Ignition is initiated by a direct spark
ignition system; flame status is deter-
mined by flame rectification process.
Combustion fan operation is proven by
a Hall Effect speed sensor circuit for
units equipped with 2-stage or staged
gas heat. For units equipped with mod-
ulating gas heat, combustion fan oper-
ation is proven with a pressure switch.
Safeties include flame rollout and limit
switch. Auto reset with manual lockout
is also provided for repeated limit
switch trips. The IGC also prevents
short-cycling due to thermostat jiggle
by ensuring a full minute heating cycle
operation on each call for heat.
Optional modulating gas heat —
The modulating gas heat option moni-
tors unit supply-air temperature and
controls the unit heat exchanger to
provide first-stage demand heating
control, with modulation to maintain
user-configured heating supply air tem-
perature set point. The option also
provides full-fire demand heating on
heating control command and temper-
ing heat control, based on user-config-
ured ventilation supply air tempera-
ture set point, to eliminate cold draft
conditions with low mixed-air tempera-
tures. The modulating gas control op-
tion consists of a modulating controller
capable of ensuring the proper fuel air
mixture at operating firing rates, sup-
ply air temperature thermistors with
duct-mounting base, a limit switch tem-
perature thermistor, and stainless steel
heat exchanger tubes.
