GENERAL
IMPORTANT: This literature contains controls, op-
eration, and troubleshooting data for 48/50EJ, EK, EW,
EY rooftop units and 50EJQ, EWQ heat pump units.
Use this guide in conjunction with the separate Instal-
lation Instructions literature packaged with the unit.
Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) — Carrier HVAC
(heating ventilation and air conditioning) and other building
equipment being controlled by DDC (direct digital controls)
have the inherent ability to talk on a common communi-
cation bus or network. The configuration of the com-
munication bus with 2 or more DDC controlled pieces of
equipment is referred to as the Carrier Comfort Network (CCN)
system. The CCN communication bus conveys commands,
data, and alarms between all elements, regardless of their
physical locations. The communication bus consists of a field-
supplied, shielded, 3-conductor cable connected in daisy-
chain fashion.
The main human interface with the CCN system is the
Service Tool software, although Building Supervisor or
ComfortWorks™ software can also be used.
NOTE: An IBM PC compatible computer equipped with
Carrier controls software is required to connect to the DDC
control.
The Building Supervisor consists of an IBM PC compat-
ible computer equipped with Carrier controls software that
allows it to connect to the communications bus and com-
municate directly with any equipment connected to the
network. An operator working at a PC with Building Su-
pervisor, Service Tool or ComfortWorks software can com-
mand, monitor, configure, or modify any portion of the sys-
tem. More than one Building Supervisor can be used. The
Building Supervisor, in conjunction with optional network
products, can generate a wide variety of managerial reports
which reflect the operational characteristics of one or more
buildings.
NOTE: The DDC board is NOT compatible with the HSIO
used on other products.
DDC Rooftop Information — Precise control is pro-
vided for stand-alone operation of HVAC equipment by a
factory-installed processor. Carrier 48/50EJ,EK,EW,EY and
50EJQ,EWQ units contain factory-installed Direct Digital
Controls (DDC) integrated into the product. The standard
product includes a base module board as well as an acces-
sory expansion module board. The unit is CCN compatible
with both the base module board and the expansion module
board. The optional expansion module board is not required
for CCN compatibility. Sensors that monitor equipment
operation and conditions in the occupied space are con-
nected to the standard processor board in the unit, and out-
puts from the processor board serve to control unit opera-
tion. Each DDC equipped unit is shipped from the factory
with all applicable control hardware and software installed
and ready for start-up.
The DDC rooftop controls cycle evaporator-fan motor, com-
pressors, and unloaders to maintain the proper temperature
conditions. The controls also cycle condenser fans to main-
tain suitable head pressure. Safeties are continuously moni-
tored to prevent the unit from operating under abnormal
conditions. The controls cycle heat as required, provide con-
trol of economizer and power exhaust, and initiate the vari-
able frequency drive.
A scheduling function, programmed by the user, controls
the unit occupied/unoccupied schedule. The control can also
be in the unoccupied schedule and put into the occupied sched-
ule through a remote 24-v AC signal. The DDC control also
allows the service person to operate a field test so that all the
base unit controlled components can be checked for proper
operation. The field test can be performed without the aid of
a personal computer and Building Supervisor, Service Tool
or ComfortWorks software.
Major Control Components — The control system
consists of the following components:
• standard base module board
• accessory expansion module board
• accessory enthalpy sensor
• thermistors
• space temperature sensors (accessory T-55, T-56)
• accessory supply-air fan status switch
• accessory check filter switch
• accessory air quality (AQ) sensor (used either indoors or
outdoors)
• accessory 2-stage heat/2-stage cool room thermostat
FEATURES
Standard Features
• control of an outdoor (condenser) fan based upon outdoor-
air temperature
• control of modulating economizer damper to provide free
cooling when outdoor conditions are suitable, using supply-
air temperature (SAT) as a control point
• support of remote occupied/unoccupied input to start/stop
the unit
• control of the economizer damper and indoor fan to obtain
unoccupied free cooling
• control of 2 stages of CV (constant volume) power
exhaust
• provide power exhaust output to an external power ex-
haust controller
• perform demand limit functions based upon CCN load-
shed commands
• alarm monitoring of all key parameters
• CCN protocol
• timeclock with backup (supports hour, minute, day of week,
month, date, and year)
• daylight savings time function
• occupancy control with 8 periods for unit operation
• holiday table containing up to 18 holidays
• ability to initiate timed override from T-55 device
• support a factory- and field-test for end of line production
and field check out
• temperature compensated start to calculate early start time
before occupancy
• support a set of Display, Maintenance, Configuration, Serv-
ice, and Set Point data tables for interface with Building
Supervisor, Service Tool or ComfortWorks software
Standard CV (Constant Volume) Only Features
• control using Y1, Y2, W1, W2, G thermostat inputs
• cooling capacity control of 2 stages plus economizer with
2 compressors to maintain space temperature to an occu-
pied or unoccupied set point
• control of up to 2 stages of gas or electric heat to maintain
space temperature to an occupied or unoccupied set point
• enable heating or cooling during unoccupied periods as
required to maintain space temperature within the unoc-
cupied set points
• ability to initiate timed override from T-56 device
• control of the indoor fan
• adjustment of space temperature set points ±5° F when
using T-56 sensor
Standard VAV (Variable Air Volume) Only
