SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing, starting up, and servicing this equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components, and equipment location. Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics should install, start up, and
service this equipment.
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in
the literature, and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the
equipment.
Follow all safety codes.
Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky
equipment.

IMPORTANT: This equipment generates, uses, and can

radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and
used in accordance with these instructions, this equipment may cause radio interference. The equipment has
been tested and found to comply with the limits of
a Class A computing device as defined by the FCC
(Federal Communications Commission, U.S.A.) Regulations, Subpart J of Part 15, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment.

INTRODUCTION
These instructions cover installation of 30HX liquid chillers with electronic controls and units with factory-installed
options (FIOPs).

INSTALLATION
Step 1 Inspect Shipment Inspect unit for damage upon arrival. If damage is found, file a claim with the
shipping company right away. Do not store units in an area
exposed to weather because of sensitive control mechanisms and electronic devices.
Locate unit indoors. When considering unit location, consult National Electrical Code (NEC, U.S.A.) and local code
requirements. Allow sufficient space for wiring, piping, and
service. Install unit in an area which will not be exposed to
subfreezing weather. See Fig. 1-8 for clearance details.
Allow the following clearances for service access:
Front . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 ft (914 mm)
Rear . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 ft (914 mm)
Top . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 ft (610 mm)
Ends . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . tube removal at one (either) end;
3 ft (914 mm) at opposite end.
Be sure surface beneath unit is level and is capable of
supporting the operating weight of the unit. See Fig. 9 and
Tables 1A and 1B for unit mounting and operating weights.
If necessary, add supporting structure (steel beams or reenforced concrete slabs) to floor to transfer weight to nearest
beams.

Step 2 Rig and Place Unit

Rig unit from the top heat exchanger only. Rigging from
the bottom heat exchanger will cause the unit to be lifted
unsafely. Personal injury or damage to the unit may
occur.

5. Bolt the weld flanges back onto their respective fluid heads.

Do not remove unit from skid until unit is in its final

location. Rig from the rigging holes provided in the top
heat exchanger. See Fig. 1-9 for rigging and center of gravity information. Lower the unit carefully onto the floor or
roller. Push or pull only on the skid, not the unit. If the unit
is moved on rollers, use a minimum of 3 evenly-spaced
rollers.

IMPORTANT: When bolting the weld flange to the

fluid heads, be sure to locate the flanges so that the
holes in each flange are completely aligned with the
holes in each fluid head. If installed incorrectly, part
of the holes in the fluid head will be blocked off.
This will result in impaired fluid flow and high pressure drop.

IMPORTANT: Some of the unit skids are larger than

standard door openings. Be sure that the path to the
units final destination is wide enough to accommodate unit shipping skid. Remove the skid if necessary. If skid is removed and rollers are used, attach
rollers to unit tube sheets while moving unit.

Tighten all cooler head bolts to 250 ft-lb (339 N-m)

before filling system with water (or brine).

Areas where unit mounting points will be located must be

level to within 1/16 in. per ft (5 mm per m) along the long
axis of the unit. Once unit is in place and level, bolt unit to
the floor. Use isolation pads under the unit to aid in vibration
isolation as required.

6. Install field-supplied differential flow switches in the cooler

piping for protection against loss of flow. The differential
flow switches must be installed on top of the pipe in a
horizontal run and should be at least 5 pipe diameters from
any bend. Install the low-pressure differential flow switch
into the outlet piping, and install the high-pressure differential flow switch into the inlet line piping as shown
in Fig. 12.

Step 3 Piping Connections See Fig. 10 and

11 for typical piping applications.
COOLER FLUID, VENT, AND DRAIN The inlet (return) fluid connection is always the lower of the 2 cooler
connections. See Fig. 10 for locations. A screen strainer with
a minimum of 20 mesh should be installed ahead of the cooler
inlet to prevent debris from damaging internal tubes of the
cooler. Outlet (supply) fluid connection is the upper connection of the 2 cooler connections.
The cooler has weld flanges to connect the field-supplied
piping. Plan the piping arrangement in accordance with good
piping practices and so that the piping does not cross in front
of the cooler head. Use flexible connections on cooler piping to reduce vibration transmission. Offset the piping to permit removal of the cooler head for maintenance. Install pipe
hangers where needed. Make sure no weight or stress is placed
on the water nozzle.
To install cooler piping:
1. Remove bolts on weld flanges, and remove flanges from
cooler fluid heads.

IMPORTANT: Loss of flow protection is required

for all 30HX chillers.
7. Provide openings in fluid piping for pressure gages and
thermometers (if used). These openings should be 5 to 10
pipe diameters from the unit water nozzles. For thorough
mixing and temperature stabilization, wells in the leaving fluid pipe should extend at least 2 in. (50 mm) into
the pipe.
Accessory Victaulic-type connections are available. Follow the connection directions provided with the accessory.
Although cooler has an air vent, it is recommended that a
field-supplied air vent be installed in the system to facilitate
servicing. Field-supplied shut-off and balancing valves should
also be installed to facilitate servicing and flow balancing.
Locate valves in return and supply fluid lines as close to
the chiller as possible. Locate air vent at highest point of the
cooler fluid system. See Fig. 10.
Provide drain connections at all low points to permit complete drainage of the system.
BRINE UNITS Special factory modifications to the units
are required to allow them to operate at fluid temperatures
less than 34 F (1.1 C). Be sure that the fluid has sufficient
inhibited ethylene glycol or other suitable corrosionresistant antifreeze solution to prevent cooler freeze up.
PREPARATION FOR YEAR-ROUND OPERATION In
areas where the piping or unit is exposed to 32 F (0 C) or
lower ambient temperatures, freeze-up protection is recommended using inhibited ethylene glycol or other suitable
corrosion-resistant antifreeze solution and electric heater tapes.
Heater tapes should have a rating for area ambient temperatures and be covered with a suitable thickness of closed-cell
insulation. Route power for the heater tapes from a separately fused disconnect. Mount the disconnect within sight
from the unit per local or NEC codes. Identify disconnect as
heater tape power source with warning that power must not
be turned off except when servicing unit.

Remove the weld flanges before welding piping to

the flanges. Refer to Fig. 1-8 for weld flange locations. Failure to remove the flanges may damage the
temperature sensors.
2. To keep debris from entering the heat exchanger during
shipping and storage, the gaskets between the weld flanges
and the fluid heads are solid sheets that block off the
fluid connections. Remove bolts on weld flanges, and remove the perforated gasket material blocking the connections manually, or if necessary, use a sharp knife to
carefully cut along the perforations to remove the excess
gasket material.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove flanges and cut
holes in the gaskets between the flanges and the fluid
heads as indicated.
3. Apply a thin coat of oil to both sides of each gasket to
help ensure a good seal, and reattach each gasket to each
fluid head.
4. Using appropriate precautions to avoid warping or deforming the weld flanges, weld the field-supplied piping
to the flanges.

FILL FLUID LOOP Fill the fluid loop with water (or brine)
and a corrosion-resistant inhibitor suitable for the water of
the area. Consult the local water authority for characteristics
of area water and a recommended inhibitor for the cooler
fluid loop.

30HXA Low-Ambient Considerations In installations

where outdoor ambient temperatures may be below 34 F
(1.1 C), it is recommended that inhibited ethylene glycol or
other suitable corrosion-resistant antifreeze solution be used in
the cooler loop to prevent cooler freeze-up.
If valves are installed in the liquid lines, it is recommended
that field-supplied pressure relief valves be installed in each
liquid line and the pressure setting should be 320 psig
(2205 kPa). Most local codes require that the relief valves be
vented directly outdoors. The vent must not be smaller than the
relief valve outlet.
Fan-Cycling Pressure Switches In order to provide proper
head-pressure control in 30HXA units, install fan-cycling pressure switches in each circuit in the liquid line between the separate condenser unit and expansion device. The switches are
shipped from the factory with the 30HXA units. Refer to the
Carrier 09DK condenser installation literature for details on the
location and installation of the switches. Since the 30HXA is
an HFC-134a unit, switch selection is based on R-134a refrigerant pressures.
NOTES: The switches that are standard with the Carrier 09DK
condensers are designed for R-22 operation and must not
be used. Instead use the switches shipped with the chiller
(Part No. HK02YB097). Switches open at 97 psig ( 10 psi),
and close at 185 psig ( 10 psi).
Back-Pressure Valve, 30HXA Units The 30HXA backpressure valves are supplied with an integral mounting flange.
The valves mount on the 30HXA oil separator. This eliminates
unnecessary brazing when installing the discharge piping, and
allows the installer to orient the valve in any desired manner.

A drain connection is located at the bottom of the cooler

head. See Fig. 1-8 for connection location. Install shut-off
valves to the drain line before filling the system with fluid.
IMPORTANT: Before starting the unit, be sure all of the
air has been purged from the system.
INSULATE COOLER HEADS Once the cooler water
lines and drain and vent lines have been installed and checked
for leaks, insulate the cooler heads with a suitable thickness of
closed-cell insulation. This will minimize the amount of condensation that forms on the cooler heads. When insulating the
cooler heads, allow for service access and removal of heads.
IMPORTANT: Before starting the unit, be sure all of the
air has been purged from the system.
30HXA PIPING, VALVE, AND SWITCH
INSTALLATION
Relieve Pressure and Recover Refrigerant The 30HXA
units are shipped from the factory with a holding charge of
R-134a. Before opening the refrigerant system, relieve system
pressure and recover system refrigerant through the charging
valve on the cooler.
30HXA Refrigerant Piping (See Fig. 11) When running
the refrigerant piping from the 30HXA unit to the remote condenser(s), avoid excessive pressure drops. Minimizing line
pressure drop is critical to the proper operation of the unit expansion device. The pressure drop using R-134a refrigerant is
different than when using R-22 refrigerant. See Tables 2 and 3
for an example for a 2 F (1.1 C) pressure drop in saturated temperature in the discharge (hot gas) line and liquid line, respectively. Refer to Fig. 13 and 14 for line sizing information for
the discharge and liquid lines for 30HXA (R-134a) units.

IMPORTANT: The back-pressure valves are not

mounted to the 30HXA chiller at the factory. They are
packaged and supplied attached to the unit shipping
skid. These valves must be installed at the time of chiller
installation. Failure to install the back-pressure valves
will result in improper unit operation.

Complete the steps below to install the flanged backpressure valves on the 30HXA chiller before running discharge
piping. Follow these steps for both refrigerant circuits.
1. Be sure to remove nitrogen charge or properly recover
refrigerant charge before removing the blank-off plate.
Remove the blank-off plate from the mating flange on
top of the coil separator by removing the screws from
the flange. See Fig. 15 for location.
2. Using the screws that were removed in Step 1, bolt the
flanged back-pressure valve to the mating flange on
top of the coil separator. An O-ring is included in the
box with the back-pressure valve for sealing the
flange.
The valve may be oriented in any desired position in to
make discharge piping easier. Install pipe hangers
where needed. Make sure no weight or stress is placed
on the back-pressure valve.

Discharge lines should be looped above the compressors to

prevent charge from flowing back to the oil separator and compressor during unit shutdown. The discharge line must be
brazed to the back-pressure valve located on the top of the oil
separator. The valve cap that is brazed to the back-pressure
valve at the factory must be removed prior to brazing the discharge line. Be sure to wrap back-pressure valve when brazing
discharge line to avoid damaging the valve.

18

3. Once the back-pressure valve has been mounted to the

mating flange, and the piping is properly supported, a fieldsupplied 14-in. (6.4 mm) copper line must be run from
the 14-in. NPT port on the back-pressure valve cap to the
14-in. SAE flare fitting on the motor cooling line. The
equalizer line must be installed in order for the unit to
function properly.
NOTE: A ball valve can be installed in the equalizer line
to facilitate servicing.
4. After mounting the back-pressure valve to the unit, properly supporting it, and running the 14-in. equalizer line,
the discharge piping may be installed.
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for the other refrigerant circuit.

Remove the weld flanges before welding piping to

the flanges. Refer to Fig. 1-8 for weld flange locations. Failure to remove the flanges may cause damage to the unit.
2. To keep debris from entering the heat exchanger during
shipping and storage, the gaskets between the weld flanges
and the fluid heads are solid sheets that block off the fluid
connections. Remove the perforated gasket material blocking the connections manually, or if necessary, use a sharp
knife to carefully cut along the perforations to remove
the excess gasket material.

Evacuation and Dehydration Because the 30HXA

systems use polyolester oil, which can absorb moisture, it
is important to minimize the amount of time that the system interior is left exposed to the atmosphere. Minimizing
the exposure time of the oil to the atmosphere will minimize the amount of moisture that needs to be removed during evacuation.
Once all of the piping connections are complete, leak
test the unit and then pull a deep dehydration vacuum. Connect the vacuum pump to the charging valve at the bottom
of the oil separator and to the liquid line service valve. For
best results, it is recommended that a vacuum of at least
500 microns (0.5 mm Hg) be obtained. Afterwards, to
ensure that no moisture is present in the system, perform a
standing vacuum-rise test.
With the unit in deep vacuum (500 microns or less), isolate the vacuum pump from the system. Observe the rateof-rise of the vacuum in the system. If the vacuum rises by
more than 50 microns in a 30-minute time period, then
continue the dehydration process. Maintain a vacuum on the
system until the standing vacuum requirement is met. This
will ensure a dry system.
By following these evacuation and dehydration procedures, the amount of moisture present in the system will
be minimized, and the factory-supplied filter driers will
provide adequate moisture protection. If additional moisture
protection is desired, additional filter-driers may be installed
in the liquid lines between the condenser(s) and expansion
devices. Be sure to consider the pressure drop of the filter
drier when determining piping requirements.
For further 30HXA piping instructions, proceed to the section titled Install Pressure Relief Refrigerant Vent Piping,
page 21.
30HXC PIPING AND VALVE INSTALLATION
30HXC Condenser Connections The inlet fluid connection is always the lower of the 2 condenser connections.
It is recommended that a screen strainer with a minimum of
20 mesh be installed ahead of the condenser inlet to prevent
debris from damaging the internal condenser tubes.
The outlet water connection is the upper connection of
the 2 connections. The condenser has weld couplings to connect field-supplied piping. Plan the piping arrangement in
accordance with good piping practices and so that the piping
does not cross in front of the condenser head. Use flexible
connections on the condenser piping to reduce vibration transmission. Offset the piping to permit condenser head removal
for maintenance purposes. Install pipe hangers where needed.
Make sure no weight or stress is placed on the water nozzle.
To install condenser piping:
1. Remove bolts on weld flanges, and remove flanges from
condenser water heads.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove flanges and cut

holes in the gaskets between the flanges and the water heads as indicated.
3. Apply a thin coat of oil to both sides of each gasket to
help ensure a good seal, and reattach each gasket to each
water head.
4. Weld the field-supplied piping to the weld flanges.
NOTE: Use appropriate precautions when welding to avoid
warping or deforming the weld flanges.
5. Bolt the weld flanges back onto their respective water heads.
IMPORTANT: When bolting the weld flanges to the
fluid heads, be sure to locate the flanges so that the
holes in the flanges are completely aligned with the
holes in the fluid heads. If flanges are installed incorrectly, parts of the holes in the fluid head can be
blocked off. This will result in impaired fluid flow
in high pressure drop applications.

Tighten all condenser head bolts to 250 ft-lb (339 N-m)

before filling system with water (or brine).
Provide openings in water piping for pressure gages
and thermometers (if used). These openings should be 5 to
10 pipe diameters from the unit water nozzles. For thorough
mixing and temperature stabilization, wells in the leaving
water pipe should extend at least 2 in. (50 mm) into the pipe.
Accessory Victaulic-type connections and condenser
water thermistors are available. Follow the connection
directions as provided with the accessory. If accessory differential pressure switch, water flow switch, or condenser
water thermistor is to be installed, install the proper fittings
into the condenser water lines before water is connected.
Although condenser has an air vent, it is recommended
that a field-supplied air vent be installed in the system to
facilitate servicing. Field-supplied shut-off and balancing valves
should also be installed to facilitate servicing and flow balancing. Locate valves in inlet and outlet lines as close to the
chiller as possible. Locate air vents at the highest point of
the system loop. See Fig. 10.
Provide drain connections at all low points in the loop to
permit complete system drainage.
IMPORTANT: Before starting the unit, be sure all of
the air has been purged from the system.

30HXC Condenser Temperature Regulating Valve For
installations where entering condensing water temperature
could be below 70 F (21.1 C), a field-supplied leaving water
temperature regulating valve is required. Operation below
70 F (21.1 C) without this valve may cause the unit to shut
down on low oil pressure alarms.
NOTE: This valve should be a temperature-controlled valve
(DO NOT USE a pressure-controlled valve) which controls
to 80 F (26.7 C) leaving water temperature. A valve that can
be controlled by a 4 to 20 mA signal is also supported by the
product integrated control (PIC) options module. Figure 16
shows the installation details for the regulating valve.

provided to aid in the connection of vent piping in
accordance with ASHRAE 15 (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers), Safety
Code for Mechanical Refrigeration. If vent piping is
required, do not restrict the vent flow in any way.
NOTE: When accessory suction service valve kit is installed, there are 2 additional high-side pressure relief valves.
These are located on the discharge line between the muffler
and the discharge shut-off valve. Pipe these valves per local
codes.

IMPORTANT: A separate, field-supplied power supply must be used with the 4 to 20 mA valve. Failure
to use a separate power supply may result in damage
to the chiller processor module (PSIO).

electrical characteristics of the available power supply must

agree with the unit nameplate rating. Supply voltage must
be within the limits shown.
FIELD POWER CONNECTIONS (See Fig. 17 and 18)
All power wiring must comply with applicable local and national codes. Install field-supplied, branch circuit fused disconnect(s) of a type that can be locked off or open. Disconnect(s) must be located within sight and readily accessible
from the unit in compliance with NEC Article 440-14. See
Tables 4A and 4B for unit electrical data. See Tables 5A and
5B for compressor electrical data.

Step 4 Make Electrical Connections The

IMPORTANT: On brine applications where leaving

cooler water is less than 34 F (1.1 C), a minimum
water flow of 0.75 gpm/ton (0.14 L/s per kW) should
be maintained at all times.
INSTALL PRESSURE RELIEF REFRIGERANT VENT
PIPING The low side relief valves on all units are provided with 34-in. female NPT connections, and are located
on top of the cooler shell. See Fig. 1-8. There are 2 relief
valves for the cooler; one on each circuit. Make the vent
connection to the low side relief valve by installing a male
NPT to copper OD braze adapter. Braze a 90 degree shortradius elbow to the adapter. This will allow enough space to
make vent connections to the elbow.
The 30HXA high side relief valves are provided with a
58-in. SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers, U.S.A.) flare
connection. The 30HXC high side relief valves are provided
with a 14-in. female NPT flare connection, and are located
on the bottom of the condenser shell.
There are 2 relief valves for the oil separator (30HXA)
or condenser (30HXC); one for each circuit. Most local codes
require that these devices be piped to the outside. If vent

IMPORTANT: The 30HX units have a factory-installed

option available for a non-fused disconnect for unit power
supply. If the unit is equipped with this option, all field
power wiring should be made to the non-fused disconnect since no terminal blocks are supplied.
All units have a single location for power entry to simplify the field power wiring. Maximum wire size that the
unit terminal block or non-fused disconnect will accept is
500 kcmil.
All units require at least one field-supplied power supply.
Refer to Fig. 17 and 18 for a list of units that require 2 fieldsupplied power supplies. Units that require 2 power supplies
are listed under TB1B in the Standard Power and NonFused Disconnect Option sections of Fig. 17 and 18.

FIELD CONTROL POWER CONNECTIONS (See Fig. 17

and 18) Units with a power supply of 208/230-, 460-, and
575-3-60 require a separate 115-1-60 control circuit power
supply. Units with a 380/415-3-50 power supply have factory pre-wired 230-1-50 control circuit power. A separate power supply is NOT required for these units. All other
units require a separate 230 v control circuit power supply.
Field control power connections are made at terminals 1 and
2 of TB4.
NOTE: Units with a 380/415 V main power supply do NOT
require a separate field-supplied control power supply. These
units have factory pre-wired control power.
Terminals TB2-11 and TB2-12 are provided for field
installation of a chilled water (fluid) pump interlock (CWPI)
and a chilled water (fluid) flow switch (CWFS). These
devices must be installed in series. Contacts must be rated
for dry circuit applications capable of handling a 24-vac to
50 mA load.
An accessory remote on-off switch can be wired into TB2-13
and TB2-14. See Fig. 17 and 18 for remote on-off, CWPI,
and CWFS wiring. Contacts must be rated for dry circuit
application capable of handling a 24-vac to 50 mA load.

NOTE: The fan contactor relays are pre-wired to unit control power. A separate power supply is NOT required. The
maximum load allowed for these relays is 125 va sealed,
1250 va inrush at 115 or 230 volts.

Step 5 Install Accessories

ELECTRICAL Several optional control accessories are
available to provide the following features:
Control transformer
Cooler pump/flow switch interlock
Cooler pump control
Expanded display panel
Remote alarm
Remote on-off
Pulldown control
Occupancy scheduling
Demand limit control
Temperature reset (from occupied space or outdoor-air
temperature)
Dual set point control
Condenser water sensors
Level II communications
(CCN [Carrier Comfort Network])
Refer to Controls, Start-up, Operation, Service, and Troubleshooting literature and separate accessory installation
instructions for additional information.
30HXA LOW-AMBIENT OPERATION If outdoor ambient operating temperatures below 60 F (15 C) are
expected, refer to separate Carrier 09DK condenser unit
installation instructions for low-ambient operation using
accessory Motormastert III control.
MINIMUM LOAD ACCESSORY If minimum load
accessory is required, use the appropriate package. Refer to
unit Price Pages or contact your local Carrier representative
for more details. For installation details, refer to separate installation instructions supplied with the accessory
package.
MISCELLANEOUS ACCESSORIES For applications
requiring special accessories, the following packages are available: control power transformer, sound reduction enclosure,
external vibration isolation, expanded display, Victaulictype connections, temperature reset sensor, and chilled fluid
flow switch. Refer to individual accessory installation
instructions for installation details.

Do not use interlocks or other safety device contacts connected between TB2 terminals 13 and 14 as remote
on-off. Connection of safeties or other interlocks between these 2 terminals will result in an electrical
bypass if the REMOTE-OFF-LOCAL switch is in
the LOCAL position. If remote on-off unit control is
required, a field-supplied relay must be installed in the
unit control box and wired as shown in Fig. 17 and 18.
Failure to wire the remote on-off as recommended will
result in tube freeze damage.
Terminals 2 and 3 of TB2 have been provided for a fieldsupplied remote alarm (ALM). If an audible alarm is
installed, an alarm shutoff is also recommended. Contacts
are rated for 125 va at either 115 or 230 v control power. See
Fig. 17 and 18.
Terminals 4 and 5 of TB2 have been provided for a fieldsupplied chilled water (fluid) pump relay (CWP). Use relays
with a coil rating of at least 75 va. A field-supplied power
supply of appropriate voltage must be provided. Contacts are
rated for 125 va at either 115 or 230 v control power. See
Fig. 17 and 18.
Terminal 6 of TB2 has been provided for a field-supplied
Circuit B fan control relay for the remote condenser (30HXA)
or a condenser pump relay (30HXC). Use relays with a coil
rating of at least 75 va. Terminal 1 of TB2 has been provided
for a field-supplied Circuit A fan control relay for a remote
condenser (30HXA only). Use relays with a coil rating of at
least 75 va. A separate field power supply is NOT required.
Connect Circuit B fan relay/Condenser Pump Relay between TB2-6 and TB4-2 (control power neutral). Use relays
with a coil rating of at least 75 va. Connect Circuit A fan
relay between TB2-1 and TB4-2. Maximum Load Allowed
for the fan/condenser pump relays is 125 va sealed, 1250 va
inrush at 115 or 230 volts.
CONDENSER FAN CONTROL FOR CONDENSER UNITS
USED WITH 30HXA UNITS The PIC control options
module and optional relay board provide two control outputs for energizing and deenergizing remote fan contactors.
If desired, wire the Circuit A main fan contactor between
TB2-1 and the unit control power neutral (TB4-2). The
Circuit B main fan contactor may be wired between TB2-6
and the unit control power neutral (TB4-2). This will cause
the main fans to be on when the compressors are on. Refer
to Fig. 17 and 18 for wiring details.

Step 6 Leak Test Unit

30HXC UNITS These units are shipped from the factory with a full charge of R-134a or a nitrogen holding charge
(see Tables 1A and 1B). Perform a leak test to ensure that
leaks have not developed during unit shipment. Dehydration
of the system is not required unless the entire refrigerant charge
has been lost. There are a number of Swage-Lok fittings used
on the refrigerant piping. If a leak is detected at any of these
fittings, tighten outside nut 18 turn.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THESE FITTINGS. Overtightening will result in the tube being crushed and will
cause a refrigerant system leak.
30HXA UNITS These units are shipped with a holding
charge of R-134a. Leak test and dehydrate the complete system (including both field and factory installed piping).
NOTE: Proper dehydration of 30HXA units is important to
ensure that no moisture is left in the system. Refer to the
separate section on Evacuation and Dehydration on page 19.

*Units with one MCA, MOCP, and fuse size value have one terminal
block and require one power supply. Units with one MCA, MOCP,
and fuse value for Circuit A and another for Circuit B have 2 terminal
blocks and require 2 power supplies.
Wye-Delta Start is standard. Not available in across-the-line start.

2. Control circuit power must be supplied from a separate source through

a field-supplied disconnect (except for 380/415-50 units). The control circuit accessory transformer may be applied to power from
the main unit power supply.
3. Maximum incoming wire size for each terminal block is 500 kcmil.
4. Maximum allowable phase imbalance is: voltage, 2%; amps, 5%.
5. Use copper conductors only.
6. The MOCP is calculated as follows:
MOCP = (2.25) (largest RLA) + the sum of the other RLAs. Size
the fuse one size down from the result. The RLAs are listed on the
unit nameplate.
The recommended fuse size in amps (RFA) is calculated as
follows:
RFA = (1.50) (largest RLA) + the sum of the other RLAs. Size
the fuse one size up from the result. The RLAs are listed on the
unit nameplate.

ICF

NOTES:
1. Each main power source must be supplied from a field-supplied
fused electrical service with a (factory- or field-installed) disconnect located in sight from the unit.

6. The MOCP is calculated as follows:

MOCP = (2.25) (largest RLA) + the sum of the other RLAs. Size the
fuse one size down from the result. The RLAs are listed on the unit
nameplate.
The recommended fuse size in amps (RFA) is calculated as follows:
RFA = (1.50) (largest RLA) + the sum of the other RLAs. Size the
fuse one size up from the result. The RLAs are listed on the unit
nameplate.
7. Units have the following power wiring terminal blocks and parallel
conductors:

LEGEND
Full Load Amps
Maximum Instantaneous Current Flow during start-up (the
point in the starting sequence where the sum of the LRA for
the start-up compressor, plus the total RLA for all running
compressors, plus the total FLA for all running fan motors is
at a maximum)
LRA
Locked Rotor Amps
MCA
Minimum Circuit Ampacity (for wire sizing)
MOCP Maximum Overcurrent Protection
RLA
Rated Load Amps
WD
Wye-Delta Start
XL
Across-the-Line Start
*Units with one MCA, MOCP, and fuse size value have one terminal block
and require one power supply. Units with one MCA, MOCP, and fuse
value for Circuit A and another for Circuit B have 2 terminal blocks and
require 2 power supplies.
Wye-Delta Start is standard. Not available in across-the-line start.
**The 30HXA186, 380-3-60 and 30HXA206-271 units have 2 terminal blocks/
non-fused disconnects and 6 parallel conductors.
NOTES:
1. Main power must be supplied from a field-supplied fused electrical service with a (factory- or field-installed) disconnect located in sight from
the unit.
2. Control circuit power must be supplied from a separate source through
a field-supplied disconnect (except for 380/415-50 units). An accessory control transformer may be used to provide control circuit power
from the main unit power supply.
3. Maximum incoming wire size for each terminal block is 500 kcmil.
4. Maximum allowable phase imbalance is: voltage, 2%; amps, 5%.
5. Use copper conductors only.

Step 7 Refrigerant Charge

IMPORTANT: These units are designed for use with
R-134a only. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER REFRIGERANT in these units without first consulting your
Carrier representative.

4. Check for a clear sight glass. If the unit is not fully loaded,
the sight glass may be flashing. This condition is normal
for a partially loaded unit. If the unit is fully loaded and
the sight glass is flashing, check EXV valve position. If
it is greater than 60% add additional charge.

NOTE: The liquid charging method is recommended for complete charging or when additional charge is required.

When charging, circulate water through the condenser and cooler at all times to prevent freezing. Freezing
damage is considered abuse and may void the Carrier
warranty.

DO NOT OVERCHARGE system. Overcharging results in higher discharge pressure with higher cooling
fluid consumption, possible compressor damage, and higher
power consumption.
30HXC UNITS The 30HXC units are shipped from
the factory with a full charge of R-134a. Unit should not
need to be charged at installation unless a leak was detected
in Step 6 Leak Test Unit section. If dehydration and
recharging is necessary, use industry standard practices or
refer to Carrier Standard Services Techniques Manual or the
Controls, Start-Up, Operation, Service, and Troubleshooting
Guide as required.
30HXA UNITS The 30HXA units are shipped with a holding charge of R-134a. The complete charge for the 30HXA,
the remote condenser(s), and interconnecting piping must be
field supplied.
To charge the 30HXA systems:
1. An initial refrigerant charge must be added after evacuation to allow the unit to start. Add approximately
2 lb/nominal ton (0.9 kg/nominal kW) liquid refrigerant
charge to the condenser. This amount of charge should be
sufficient to allow the unit to start. The approximate system charges are shown in Table 6 and cooler refrigerant
capacity is shown in Table 7.
2. Raise the compressor discharge to approximately 125 F
(51.7 C) saturated discharge temperature (185 psig
[1276 kPa]) by throttling the condenser air (or water)
intake.
3. Add liquid charge into the cooler until there is approximately 18 to 20 F (10.0 to 11.1 C) of system subcooling
(saturated discharge temperature actual temperature
entering the electronic expansion device [EXD]). When
adding charge, use the 14-in. Schrader-type fitting
located on the tube going into the bottom of the cooler.
This fitting is located between the EXD and the cooler.
When adding charge during unit operation, always use
this port so that the cooler liquid level sensor can detect
the additional charge and adjust the EXD valve position.
NOTE: Electronic Expansion Device (EXD) refers to EXV
(Electronic Expansion Valve) (076-146 units) or Economizer (161-271 units).
