ELECTRICAL WIRING SCHEMATIC AND DIAGRAMS


5.1 INTRODUCTION
This section contains Electrical Wiring Schematics and Diagrams covering the Models listed in Table 1-1. The
following general safety notices supplement the specific warnings and cautions appearing elsewhere in this manual. They
are recommeded precautions that must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance of the equipment
covered herein.

WARNING
Beware of unannounced starting of the evaporator and condenser fans. Do not open condenser fan grille before
turning power OFF and disconnecting power plug.

WARNING
Do not attempt to remove power plug(s) before turning OFF start-stop switch (ST), unit circuit breaker(s) and
external power source.

Make sure the power plugs are clean and dry before connecting to any power receptacle.

WARNING
Do not use a nitrogen cylinder without a pressure regulator because cylinder pressure is approximately 165
kg/cm@ (2350 psi). Do not use oxygen in or near a refrigeration system as an explosion may occur.

WARNING
Make sure power to unit is OFF and power plug disconnected before removing capacitor(S).

WARNING
Do not open condenser fan grille before turning power OFF and disconnecting power plug.

WARNING
Always turn OFF the unit circuit breaker (CB1) and disconnect main power supply before working on moving parts.

WARNING
Never mix refrigerants with air for leak testing. It has been determined that pressurized, air-rich mixtures of
refrigerants and air can undergo combustion when exposed to an ignition source.

CAUTION
Use only Carrier Transicold approved Polyol Ester Oil (POE) --- Castrol-Icematic SW20 compressor oil with R-134a.
Buy in small quantities (one quart). When using this hygroscopic oil, immediately reseal. Do not leave container of
oil open or contamination will occur.

CAUTION
To prevent trapping liquid refrigerant in the service valve after charging, while the compressor is ON and before
disconnecting the manifold gauge set, perform the following steps:

a. Backseat applicable discharge or manual liquid line valve.


b. Midseat manifold gauge set hand valves.
c. Allow the gauge set to pull down to suction pressure.

CAUTION
Make sure that the unit circuit breaker(s) (CB) and the start-stop switch are in the OFF position before
connecting to any electrical power source.
