hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only
trained and qualified personnel should install, repair, or service
air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions of
cleaning coils and filters. All other operations should be performed
by trained service personnel. When working on air-conditioning
equipment, observe precautions 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. Consult a qualified installer or
service agency for information or assistance. The qualified in-
staller or agency must use only factory-authorized kits or acces-
sories when modifying this product.

Fig. 6—Suggested Rigging
Do not undersize the tube. Pitch the drain tube downward at a
slope of at least 1-in. for every 10 ft. of horizontal run. Be sure to
check the drain tube for leaks. Prime trap at the beginning of the
cooling season start-up.
Lifting point should be directly over the center of gravity for
the unit.
Step 7—Install Duct Connections
Step 6—Connect Condensate Drain
The unit has duct flanges on the supply- and return-air openings on
the side and bottom of the unit. For downshot applications the
ductwork can be connected to the roof curb. See Fig. 2 & 3 for
connection sizes and locations.
NOTE: When installing condensate drain connection be sure to
comply with local codes and restrictions.
Models 50GS and 50GX dispose of condensate water through a
3/4 in. NPT fitting which exits through the base on the evaporator
coil access side. See Fig. 2 & 3 for location.
IMPORTANT: Use flexible connectors between ductwork and
unit to prevent transmission of vibration. Use suitable gaskets to
ensure weathertight and airtight seal. When electric heat is
installed, use fire proof canvas (or similar heat resistant material)
connector between ductwork and unit discharge connection. If
flexible duct is used, insert a sheet metal sleeve inside duct. Heat
resistant duct connector (or sheet metal sleeve) must extend 24-in.
from the unit discharge connection flange into the ductwork.
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in rooftop
installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in ground-
level installations. Install a field-supplied condensate trap at end of
condensate connection to ensure proper drainage. Make sure that
the outlet of the trap is at least 1 in. lower than the drainpan
condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing (See
Fig. 7). When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes away from
the unit.
Connect a drain tube using a minimum of 3/4 -in. PVC or 3/4 -in.
copper pipe (all field-supplied) at the outlet end of the 2-in. trap.

the accessory duct cover kit. Ensure opening is air-and
watertight.
7. After completing unit conversion, perform all safety checks
and power up unit.
NOTE: The design and installation of the duct system must be in
accordance with the standards of the NFPA for installation of
nonresidence-type air conditioning and ventilating systems, NFPA
90A or residence-type, NFPA 90B; and/or local codes and
ordinances.
Adhere to the following criteria when selecting, sizing, and
installing the duct system:
8. Units are shipped for side shot installation.
9. Select and size ductwork, supply-air registers, and return-air
grilles according to American Society of Heating, Refrigera-
tion and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommen-
dations.

10. Use flexible transition between rigid ductwork and unit to
prevent transmission of vibration. The transition may be
screwed or bolted to duct flanges. Use suitable gaskets to
ensure weathertight and airtight seal.
11. All units must have field-supplied filters or accessory filter
rack installed in the return-air side of the unit. Recommended
sizes for filters are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken
electrical ground to minimize the possibility of personal
injury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground may
consist of an electrical wire connected to the unit ground lug
in the control compartment, or conduit approved for electrical
ground when installed in accordance with NEC (National
Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA (latest edition) and local elec-
trical codes. In Canada, follow Canadian Electrical Code
CSA (Canadian Standards Association) C22.1 and local
electrical codes. Failure to adhere to this warning could result
in personal injury or death.
12. Size all ductwork for maximum required airflow (either
heating or cooling) for unit being installed. Avoid abrupt duct
size increases or decreases or performance may be affected.
13. Adequately insulate and weatherproof all ductwork located
outdoors. Insulate ducts passing through unconditioned space,
and use vapor barrier in accordance with latest issue of Sheet
Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association
(SMACNA) and Air Conditioning Contractors of America
(ACCA) minimum installation standards for heating and air
conditioning systems. Secure all ducts to building structure.
14. Flash, weatherproof, and vibration-isolate all openings in
building structure in accordance with local codes and good
building practices.

Run the low-voltage leads from the thermostat, through the inlet
hole, and into unit low-voltage splice box.
PRE-START-UP
Locate five 18-gage wires leaving control box. These low-voltage
connection leads can be identified by the colors red, green, yellow,
brown, and white (See Fig. 10). Ensure the leads are long enough
to be routed into the low-voltage splice box (located below right
side of control box). Stripped yellow wire is located in connection
box. Route leads through hole in bottom of control box and make
low-voltage connections (See Fig. 10). Secure all cut wires, so that
they do not interfere with operation of unit.
Failure to observe the following warnings could result in
serious personal injury:
1. Follow recognized safety practices and wear protective
goggles when checking or servicing refrigerant system.
2. Do not operate compressor or provide any electric power to
unit unless compressor terminal cover is in place and
secured.
TRANSFORMER PROTECTION
3. Do not remove compressor terminal cover until all electri-
cal sources are disconnected.
The transformer is of the energy-limiting type. It is set to
4. Relieve and recover all refrigerant from system before
touching or disturbing anything inside terminal box if
refrigerant leak is suspected around compressor terminals.
5. Never attempt to repair soldered connection while refrig-
erant system is under pressure.
withstand a 30-second overload or shorted secondary condition.
6. Do not use torch to remove any component. System
contains oil and refrigerant under pressure. To remove a
component, wear protective goggles and proceed as fol-
lows:
a. Shut off electrical power to unit.
b. Relieve and reclaim all refrigerant from system using
both high- and low-pressure ports.
c. Cut component connecting tubing with tubing cutter and
remove component from unit.
d. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when neces-
sary. Oil can ignite when exposed to torch flame.
Proceed as follows to inspect and prepare the unit for initial
startup:
1. Remove access panel.
2. Read and follow instructions on all WARNING, CAUTION,
and INFORMATION labels attached to, or shipped with, unit.
3. Make the following inspections:
a. Inspect for shipping and handling damages such as broken
lines, loose parts, disconnected wires, etc.
b. Inspect for oil at all refrigerant tubing connections and on
unit base. Detecting oil generally indicates a refrigerant
13
leak. Leak test all refrigerant tubing connections using
electronic leak detector, halide torch, or liquid-soap solu-
tion. If a refrigerant leak is detected, see Check for
Refrigerant Leaks section.
START UP COOLING SECTION AND MAKE ADJUST-
MENTS
c. Inspect all field- and factory-wiring connections. Be sure
that connections are completed and tight.
Complete the required procedures given in the Pre-Start- Up
section before starting the unit. Do not jumper any safety
devices when operating the unit. Do not operate the compres-
sor when the outdoor temperature is below 40°F (unless
accessory low-ambient kit is installed). Do not rapid-cycle the
compressor. Allow 5 minutes between “on” cycles to prevent
compressor damage.
d. Ensure electrical wiring does not contact refrigerant tubes
or sharp metal edges.
e. Inspect coil fins. If damaged during shipping and handling,
carefully straighten fins with a fin comb.
Verify the following conditions:
CHECKING COOLING CONTROL OPERATION
a. Make sure that condenser-fan blade is correctly positioned
in fan orifice. Leading edge of condenser-fan blade should
be 1/2 in. maximum from fan orifice (See Fig. 11).
Start and check the unit for proper cooling control operation as
follows:
b. Make sure that air filter(s) is in place.
1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF position.
Observe that blower motor starts when FAN switch is placed
in ON position and shuts down after 30 second fan time delay
expires when FAN switch is placed in AUTO position.
c. Make sure that condensate drain trap is filled with water to
ensure proper drainage.
d. Make sure that all tools and miscellaneous loose parts have
been removed.
2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch in
AUTO position. Set cooling control below room temperature.
Observe that compressor, condenser fan, and evaporator
blower motors start. Observe that compressor and outdoor fan
shut down when control setting is satisfied and that indoor
blower shuts down after 30 second fan time delay expires.
START-UP
CHECK FOR REFRIGERANT LEAKS
Proceed as follows to locate and repair a refrigerant leak and to
charge the unit:
1. Locate leak and make sure that refrigerant system pressure has
been relieved and reclaimed from both high- and low-pressure
ports.
3. When using an auto-changeover room thermostat, place both
SYSTEM and FAN switches in AUTO positions. Observe that
unit operates in heating mode when temperature control is set
to “call for heating” (above room temperature) and operates in
cooling mode when temperature control is set to “call for
cooling” (below room temperature).

MOTOR
IMPORTANT: Three-phase, scroll compressor units (50GS048,
50GX030-060) are direction-oriented. These units must be
checked to ensure proper compressor 3-phase power lead orienta-
tion. If not corrected within 5 minutes, the internal protector will
shut off the compressor. The 3-phase power leads to the unit must
be reversed to correct rotation. When turning backwards, scroll
compressors emit elevated noise levels, and the difference between
compressor suction and

discharge pressures may be
dramatically lower than normal.
2. Repair leak following accepted practices. NOTE: Install a
filter drier whenever the system has been opened for repair.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING REFRIGERANT CHARGE
3. Add a small charge of R-22 refrigerant vapor to system and
leak-test unit.
The refrigerant system is fully charged with R-22 refrigerant,
tested, and factory-sealed.
4. Recover refrigerant from refrigerant system and evacuate to
500 microns if no additional leaks are not found.
NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required
unless the unit is suspected of not having the proper R-22 charge.
5. Charge unit with R-22 refrigerant, using a volumetric-
charging cylinder or accurate scale. Refer to unit rating plate
for required charge. Be sure to add extra refrigerant to
compensate for internal volume of filter drier.
A superheat charging chart is attached to the outside of the service
access panel. The chart includes the required suction line tempera-
ture at given suction line pressures and outdoor ambient tempera-
tures (See Fig. 15–27).
An accurate superheat, thermocouple- or thermistor-type ther-
mometer, a sling psychrometer, and a gauge manifold are required
when using the superheat charging method for evaluating the unit
charge. Do not use mercury or small dial-type thermometers
because they are not adequate for this type of measurement.
NOTE: Allow system to operate in the cooling mode for a
minimum of 10 minutes before checking or adjusting refrigerant
charge.

When evaluating the refrigerant charge, an indicated adjust-
ment to the specified factory charge must always be very
minimal. If a substantial adjustment is indicated, an abnormal
condition exists somewhere in the cooling system, such as
insufficient airflow across either coil or both coils.

desired blower motor speed. Insulate the removed lead to avoid
contact with chassis parts.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove caps from low- and high-pressure service fittings.
2. Using hoses with valve core depressors, attach low- and
high-pressure gauge hoses to low- and high-pressure service
fittings, respectively.
FOR 460-V GE MOTORS
For color coding on the 460-v GE motor leads, see Table 7.
3. Start unit in Cooling mode and let unit run until system
pressures stabilize.

4. Measure and record the following:
a. Outdoor ambient-air temperature (°F db).
b. Evaporator inlet-air temperature (°F wb).
c. Suction-tube temperature (°F) at low-side service fitting.
d. Suction (low-side) pressure (psig).
red = low
5. Using “Cooling Charging Charts” compare outdoor-air tem-
perature (°F db) with the suction line pressure (psig) to
determine desired system operating suction line temperature.
See Fig. 15-27.
To change the speed of the indoor fan motor (IFM), remove fan
motor speed lead from the time delay relay (TDR) and replace with
the lead for the desired blower motor speed. The motor speed lead
is attached to terminal–3 of TDR. For low and medium speeds
black must be connected to the jumper wire. Insulate removed lead
end to avoid contact with chassis parts. To select high speed on
460-v GE motors, separate the black female quick connect (QC)
from the jumper lead male quick connect (QC) and connect the
black lead to the BR. Insulate the jumper to avoid contact with any
chassis parts.
6. Compare actual suction-tube temperature with desired
suction-tube temperature. Using a tolerance of ±3°F, add
refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 3°F higher than
proper suction-tube temperature, or remove refrigerant if
actual temperature is more than 3°F lower than required
suction-tube temperature.

refrigerant leak, refer to Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.
INDOOR AIRFLOW AND AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENTS
When the room temperature rises to a point that is slightly above
the cooling control setting of the thermostat, the thermostat
completes the circuit between thermostat terminal R to terminals Y
and G. These completed circuits through the thermostat connect
contactor coil (C) (through unit wire Y) and time delay relay
(TDR) (through unit wire G) across the 24-v secondary of
transformer (TRAN).
For cooling operation, the recommended airflow is 350 to 450
cfm for each 12,000 Btuh of rated cooling capacity.
Tables 8 and 9 show cooling airflows at various external static
pressures. Refer to these tables to determine the airflow for the
system being installed.
The normally open contacts of energized contactor (C) close and
complete the circuit through compressor motor (COMP) to con-
denser (outdoor) fan motor (OFM). Both motors start instantly.
NOTE: Be sure that all supply- and return-air grilles are open,
free from obstructions, and adjusted properly.
The set of normally open contacts of energized relay TDR close
and complete the circuit through evaporator blower (indoor) fan
motor (IFM).
Disconnect electrical power to the unit and install lockout tag
before changing blower speed. Electrical shock can cause
serious injury or death.
NOTE: Once the compressor has started and then has stopped, it
should not be started again until 5 minutes have elapsed.
Airflow can be changed by changing the lead connections of the
blower motor.
The cooling cycle remains “on” until the room temperature drops
to a point that is slightly below the cooling control setting of the
room thermostat. At this point, the thermostat “breaks” the circuit
between thermostat terminal R to terminals Y and G. These open
circuits deenergize contactor coil C and relay coil TDR. The
condenser and compressor motors stop. After a 30-second delay,
the blower motor stops. The unit is in a “standby” condition,
waiting for the next “call for cooling” from the room thermostat.
Unit 50GS two- or three-speed motors (except size 030) are
factory wired for low speed operation. Unit 50GS030 is factory
wired for medium speed.
All 50GX units are factory wired for low speed and may need to
be wired for medium or high speed in the field.
FOR 208/230V
For color coding on the 208/230V motor leads, see Table 6.
MAINTENANCE
To change the speed of the indoor fan motor (IFM), remove the fan
motor speed leg lead from the time delay relay (TDR). This wire
is attached to terminal–3 of TDR for single-phase and 3-phase
To ensure continuing high performance, and to minimize the
possibility of premature equipment failure, periodic maintenance
must be performed on this equipment. This cooling unit should be

pan at least once each year.
The coils are easily cleaned when dry; therefore, inspect and clean
the coils either before or after each cooling season. Remove all
obstructions, including weeds and shrubs, that interfere with the
airflow through the condenser coil.
6. Ensure that setscrew engages the flat area on the motor shaft
when tightening
7. Replace grille.
Straighten bent fins with a fin comb. If coated with dirt or lint,
clean the coils with a vacuum cleaner, using the soft brush
attachment. Be careful not to bend the fins. If coated with oil or
grease, clean the coils with a mild detergent-and-water solution.
