HIGH ALTITUDE KIT USAGE AND CONTENTS
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Read these instructions entirely before installing the acces-
sory high altitude kit into the base rooftop unit.
Installation, start-up, and servicing of this equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components, and
equipment location (roofs). Only trained, qualified installers
and service technicians should install, start up, and service this
equipment.
When working on this equipment, observe precautions in
the literature and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the
equipment. Also observe any other safety precautions that may
apply.
GENERAL
The high altitude conversion kit is used to install natural gas
units at elevations as high as 7000 ft. Recommended orifice
sizes will derate the heating input by approximately 4% per
1000 ft of elevation. For elevations above 7000 ft, see Table 1.
INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Remove Gas Manifold Pipe
1. Close the manual shutoff valve on the gas supply
piping.
2. Open gas section access door. See Fig. 1.
3. Set the switch on the main gas valve to the OFF posi-
tion. See Fig. 2.
4. Shut off power to unit and install lockout tag.
5. Disconnect gas piping at unit gas valve.
NOTE: Use a backup wrench to avoid twisting the gas
manifold pipe.
6. Remove wires connected to gas valve. Mark each wire
to ensure proper reassembly.
7. Remove wires connected to the flame rollout switch.
Mark wires.
8. Remove wires connected to igniter and flame sensor.
Mark wires.
9. Remove the four screws that attach the gas manifold
pipe to the burner bracket and rotate the pipe away
from the unit. The pipe should NOT be removed from
the wire bundle connecting to the IGC (integrated gas
controller) board. See Fig. 3.
Table 1 — Altitude Compensation*
*As the height above sea level increases, there is less oxygen per cubic foot
of air. Therefore, heat input rate should be reduced at higher altitudes.
Includes a 4% input reduction per each 1000 ft.
†Orifices available through your Carrier dealer.
Step 2 — Replace Orifice Fittings
1. Remove standard orifice fittings from the manifold
pipe.
2. Select the correct orifice size based on local elevation.
Refer to Table 1.
3. Install new orifice fittings.
NOTE: Pipe sealant is not required. Never use Teflon
tape on fitting threads since loose pieces may plug gas
orifices.
Step 3 — Reinstall Manifold Pipe
1. Attach manifold pipe to the burner bracket using four
screws. See Fig. 3. Make sure that all orifice fittings
are properly seated in the burner inlets.
2. Reconnect wires to the igniter, flame sensor, flame
rollout switch, and gas valve.
3. Reconnect gas piping to the gas valve.

Before beginning any modification, close main gas supply
shutoff valve. Be certain that the main line electrical discon-
nect switch is in the OFF position and lockout tag is
installed. Electric shock or fire could result. Tag disconnect
switch and gas valve with suitable warning labels.
