SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical compo-
nents. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func-
tions of cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All other
operations should be performed by trained service personnel.
When working on air-conditioning equipment, observe precau-
tions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit, and
other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have
fire extinguisher available for all brazing operations.
INSTALLATION
Step 1 Provide Unit Support
ROOF CURB Assemble and install accessory roof curb in
accordance with instructions shipped with the curb. Accessory
roof curb and information required to field fabricate a roof curb
are shown in Fig. 1 and 2. Install insulation, cant strips, roofing,
and counter flashing as shown. Ductwork can be secured to
roof curb before unit is set in place. Horizontal adapter installa-
tion is shown in Fig. 2.
Curb should be level. This is necessary to permit unit drain
to function properly. Unit leveling tolerances is ±
1
/
16
in. per
linear ft in any direction. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb Instal-
lation Instructions for additional information as required.
ALTERNATE UNIT SUPPORT When the curb cannot be
used, support unit with sleepers using unit curb support area. If
sleepers cannot be used, support long sides of unit with a mini-
mum of 3 equally spaced 4-in. x 4-in. pads on each side.
Step 2 Rig and Place Unit Inspect unit for trans-
portation damage. File any claim with transportation agency.
Keep unit upright, and do not drop. Use spreader bars over unit
to prevent sling or cable damage. Rollers may be used to move
unit across a roof. Level by using unit frame as a reference;
leveling tolerance is ±
1
/
16
in. per linear ft in any direction.
See Fig. 1 for additional leveling tolerance information. Unit
weight is shown in Table 1.
Four lifting holes are provided in ends of unit base rails as
shown in Fig. 3. Refer to rigging instructions on unit.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on
unit, turn off main power switch to unit. Electrical shock
could cause personal injury.
IMPORTANT: Units have high ambient operating limits. If
limits are exceeded, the unit will automatically lock the
compressor out of operation. Manual reset will be required
to restart the compressor.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is
critical for watertight seal. Install gasket supplied with the
roof curb as shown in Fig. 1. Improperly applied gasket can
result in air leaks and poor unit performance.

    How to check the DCV minimum and maximum position on a Carrier 50HJQ014?
    • S
      sherry65Aug 6, 2025
      To check the DCV minimum and maximum position on your Carrier Heat Pump, first ensure that the EconoMi$erIV preparation procedure has been performed. Connect a 9-v battery to AQ (positive node) and AQ1 (negative node). The DCV LED should turn on, and the actuator should drive to between 90 and 95% open. Turn the DCV Maximum Position potentiometer to midpoint; the actuator should drive to between 20 and 80% open. Turn the DCV Maximum Position potentiometer to fully CCW; the actuator should drive fully closed. Turn the Minimum Position potentiometer to midpoint; the actuator should drive to between 20 and 80% open. Turn the Minimum Position Potentiometer fully CW; the actuator should drive fully open. Finally, remove the jumper from TR and N; the actuator should drive fully closed.

      To check the supply-air input on your Carrier Heat Pump, first ensure that the EconoMi$erIV preparation procedure has been performed. Set the Enthalpy potentiometer to A. The Free Cool LED should turn on, and the actuator should drive to between 20 and 80% open. Remove the 5.6 kilo-ohm resistor and jumper T to T1. The actuator should drive fully open. Remove the jumper across T and T1. The actuator should drive fully closed.

      Charles WilliamsSep 12, 2025
      To check differential enthalpy on your Carrier Heat Pump: * Make sure the EconoMi$erIV preparation procedure has been performed. * Place a 620-ohm resistor across SO and +. * Place a 1.2 kilo-ohm resistor across SR and +. The Free Cool LED should be lit. * Remove the 620-ohm resistor across SO and +. The Free Cool LED should turn off.

      Nicole CookAug 26, 2025
      To check single enthalpy on your Carrier Heat Pump: * Make sure the EconoMi$erIV preparation procedure has been performed. * Set the enthalpy potentiometer to A (fully CCW). The Free Cool LED should be lit. * Set the enthalpy potentiometer to D (fully CW). The Free Cool LED should turn off.

    How to check DCV and Power Exhaust on a Carrier Heat Pump?
    • J
      John HullOct 31, 2025
      To check the DCV and Power Exhaust on your Carrier Heat Pump, first ensure the EconoMi$erIV preparation procedure has been performed. Make sure that terminals AQ and AQ1 are open; the LED for both DCV and Exhaust should be off, and the actuator should be fully closed. Next, connect a 9-v battery to AQ (positive node) and AQ1 (negative node). The LED for both DCV and Exhaust should then light up. Turn the Exhaust potentiometer CW until the Exhaust LED turns off (this should occur when the potentiometer is approximately 90%), and the actuator should remain in position. Then, turn the DCV set point potentiometer CW until the DCV LED turns off (this should occur when the potentiometer is approximately 9-v), and the actuator should drive fully closed. Finally, turn the DCV and Exhaust potentiom...
