Can someone convert to tonnage
38k 008 501

[timebuilder]

My stuff is out in the truck and I'm sick today, but I'd say 7 ton, 230 volt.

[dandyme]

missing some digits in the mod, but 008 probably going to be 7 ton unit

[dodge]

Thx. And hope you feel better soon

For the 38AK 008 501 unit -

008 = 7.5 ton

For the 38AK 008 501 unit -

008 = 7.5 ton

Thanks for that degree of precision. Too busy coughing to go out to dig out that info!!!

Get back in bed. :grin2:

Hope you don't have the same bug I had - It took my cough 4 weeks to go away.

For the 38AK 008 501 unit -

008 = 7.5 ton

008 = 7.5 ton
501 = 208/230V 3ph

300 series = 208/230V 1ph
400 or 500 series = 208/230V 3ph
600 series = 480V 3ph

[rundawg]

008 = 7.5 ton
501 = 208/230V 3ph

We must have the same manual. :cheers:

No manual, just from memory.

Just like with the older Carrier units the serial numbers can be deciphered:

A-M = 1970's
N-Z (Never O) = 1980's

example:

C9 = 1979
S9 = 1989

Interesting? I had learned it like this:

From 1970 to 1989, this serial number format was used.

ANNNNNN A (letter), N (numbers)

The first Letter character is for the month of production.

A-M = Jan-Dec for the years 1970-1979

A=Jan, B=Feb, C=Mar ect.
(“I” is not used)

N-Z = Jan-Dec for the years 1980-1989

N=Jan, P=Feb, Q=Mar ect.
(“O” is not used)

The second digit, is a numeric character for the production year.

The balance of the numeric characters are the production sequence.

Examples:

A712345....this serial number would have been produced in Jan 1977

P512345... .this serial number would have been produced in Feb 1985

I have a great memory. The problem is - it's short. Now I have to go look this up again.

Check with Carrier. You will see a R86489 which would be 1988 but not two numbers until they went to "Week/Year" ex. 0399E which was made the third week of 1999 and was made in Syracuse. Prior to the seventies you had to have them decipher the serial number.
