A. GENERAL INFORMATION
!
THIS INFORMATION IS FOR USE BY INDIVIDUALS
HAVING ADEQUATE BACKGROUNDS OF ELECTRICAL
AND MECHANICAL EXPERIENCE. ANY ATTEMPT TO
REPAIR A CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING PRODUCT
MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE MANUFACTURER OR SELLER
CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF THIS INFORMATION, NOR CAN IT ASSUME

!
To prevent shortening its service life, the air handler
should not be used during the finishing phases of construction. The low return air temperatures can lead to
the formation of condensate. Condensate in the presence of chlorides and fluorides from paint, varnish,
stains, adhesives, cleaning compounds, and cement
creates a corrosive condition which may cause rapid
deterioration of the cabinet and internal components.

INSTALLATION LIMITATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
The general location of the air handler is normally
selected by the architect, contractor and/or home owner
for the most effective application and satisfaction.
NOTE: CONDENSATION MAY OCCUR ON THE SURFACE OF THE AIR HANDLER WHEN INSTALLED IN AN
UNCONDITIONED LOCATION. WHEN UNITS ARE INSTALLED IN UNCONDITIONED SPACES, VERIFY THAT
ALL ELECTRICAL AND REFRIGERANT LINE PENETRATIONS ON THE AIR HANDLER ARE SEALED
COMPLETELY.
Installer’s Guide
These air handlers are suitable for installation in a
closet, alcove or utility room with free, non-ducted, air
return, using the area space as a return air plenum.
With ducted supply air, if the minimum clearances to
combustible materials and service access are observed,
the above installations are suitable.
This area may also be used for other purposes, including an electric hot water heater – but in no case shall
a fossil fuel device be installed and/or operated in
the same closet, alcove or utility room.
In addition, these air handlers are suitable for installation in an attic, garage or crawl space with ducted supply and return air.
This equipment has been evaluated in accordance with
the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter XX, Part 3280
or the equivalent. “SUITABLE FOR MOBILE HOME
USE.”
For proper installation the following items must be considered:
1. If adequate power is available and correct according
to nameplate specifications.
2. Insulate all ducts, particularly if unit is located outside of the conditioned space.
3. Pursuant to Florida Building Code 13-610.2.A.2.1,
this unit meets the criteria for a factory sealed
air handler.
4. To ensure maximum efficiency and system performance, the existing supply and return duct system
static pressures must not exceed the total available
static pressure of the air handler. Reference ACCA
Manual D, Manual S and Manual RS along with the
air handler Product Data and Service Facts for additional information.
5. The area around refrigerant lines must be sealed
and electrical inlets need to be sealed at both the
low and the high voltage.
6. It is recommended that the outline drawing be
studied and dimensions properly noted and checked
against selected installation site. By noting in advance which knockouts are to be used, proper clearance allowances can be made for installation and
possible future service.
7. Allow a minimum of 21 inches clearance in
front of the air handler to permit service and removal of filter.
8. When air handler with supplementary heater is to
be installed in the downflow position on combustible flooring an accessory subbase (TAYBASE101
for 2TEC3F18-36B, TAYBASE102 for 2TEC3F55 and
TAYBASE100 for 2TEC3F42B-60B) must be used.
See Figure 1.
9. If supplementary heat is to be added, power supply
must be sufficient to carry the load. In addition,
minimum air flow settings, unit and duct clearances
to combustible material must be maintained as
stated on the air handler rating nameplate.
