2 - SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
WARNING: Switch off the main electrical power
supply to the unit and accessories (if installed)
before doing any work on the unit.
2.1 - General
Installing, commissioning and servicing of the various
component (unit, control system, hot and cold water
system, air distribution system) can be dangerous
unless certain aspects of the installation, such as the
presence of mains electricity and hot or cold water in
the air conditioning equipment, are taken into account.
Only specially trained and qualified technicians and
installers who have been fully trained on the product
concerned are authorised to install, commission and
service this equipment.
During service work, it is essential to apply all
recommendations and instructions given in service
leaflets, on labels or in the instructions delivered with
the equipment, and to comply with any other relevant
instructions.

- General danger
Fig. 7
Comply with all safety rules and regulations currently in
force. Wear eye protectors and work with hand gloves
and any individual protection equipment following local
legislation. Take care when moving or positioning of the
equipment.
2.2 - Protection against electrocution
Only electricians qualified to the level recommended by
the IEC (International Electro technical Commission) in
its standard IEC 364, corresponding to Europe HD 384,
France NFC 15 100 and UK IEE Wiring Regulations,
may have access to electrical components. In particular
it is obligatory to disconnect all power supplies to the
unit and its accessories before carrying out any work.
Disconnect the main power supply with an isolating
device (not supplied by Carrier).
IMPORTANT: The components, which make up the
different control loops described in this manual
include electronic items. As such, they may
generate or be harmed by electromagnetic
interference unless they are installed and used in
accordance with these instructions. The components
making up these control systems conform to the
requirements of electromagnetic compatibility in
residential, commercial and light industrial areas.
They also comply with the low-voltage directive.
If the product is supplied without a Carrier control
device, verification of EMC conformity is the
responsibility of the installer.
2.3 - General installation conditions
IMPORTANT: The Carrier numeric controller, power
module, or in general units fitted with controls loops
must have an isolating device upstream (for
example a double-pole circuit breaker). If necessary,
an easily operated emergency stop device (such as
a punch-button switch) must cut off the power to
all equipment. These safety devices shall be sized

Recommendation 364, corresponding to Europe HD
384, France NFC 15 100 and UK IEE Wiring
Regulations. These devices are not supplied by
Carrier.

- Electrical connections must be made according to
the wiring diagram provided with the unit and the
installation and operation manual of the controller.
- Units must be provided with over-current protection
upstream (not supplied by Carrier).
- Daisy chain is forbidden (supply others units from
the terminal block of one of them, cf Fig. 8).
- The power disconnection device must be clearly
labelled to identify which items of equipment are
connected to it.
- The wiring of the components which make up the
different control systems and the communication
buses must be carried out in accordance with the
latest rules and regulations by professional
installers.
- The power supply cable must be doubly insulated
and fixed using a cable clamp. A hole is provided
for this purpose in the plastic Carrier controller
housing. The cable must be clamped on the outer
insulation.
- The control loop components must be installed in
