CAUTION
!
HAZARDOUS VAPORS! Do not install an air handler
with a non-ducted return in the same closet, alcove, or utility
room as a fossil fuel device. Hazardous vapors can be distributed
throughout the conditioned space and equipment damage can
result.
Non-Ducted Return Installations:
Installation in a closet, an alcove, or a utility •
room without a return duct requires the use
of a plenum accessory kit as it uses the area
space as a return air plenum. Minimum clearances to combustible materials and service
access must be observed (see outline drawing).
This area may also be used for other purpos- •
es, 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.

6.5 Additional Unit Preparation Considerations
For proper installation the following items must be considered prior to moving the unit to its installation site:
Pursuant to Florida Building Code 13-610.2.A.2.1, this •
unit meets the criteria for a factory sealed air handler.
If a side return is needed for your application, the side •
return MUST be prepared prior to moving the air handler to its installation location. See the Side Return Kit
# BAYSRKIT100A Installer Guide for detailed instructions.
Study the unit’s outline drawing and dimensions prior •
to selecting the installation site. Note in advance
which electrical conduit entry points and condensate
drain holes are to be used, so that proper clearance
allowances can be made for installation and future
maintenance.
Installation of the air handler must be made prior to, •
or at the same time as, the installation of the outdoor
unit in order to allow access for refrigerant lines.
Consider the overall space needed when external •
accessories are used, additional height and width
requirements may exist.
These units are not approved for outdoor installation. •
These units must be installed in the proper air flow •
direction.
Any third-party heater accessories, including •
hydronic coils and duct heaters must be downstream
of the unit.
Note: No atomizing style humidifier is allowed in the •
return plenum with the use of this unit.
Excessive bypass air may cause water blow-off, •
which will adversely affect system operation and air
cleaner performance. To verify bypass airflow, follow the Bypass Humidifier Pre-Installation Checkout
and Set-Up Procedures available through your local
distributor. Ask for publication number 18-CH37D1-*
Steam and Flow-through Fan Power Duct-mounted
Humidifiers. Follow the humidifier installation instructions. These should only be installed on the supply
air side of the system.
Note: The air handlers have been evaluated in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter
XX, Part 3280 or the equivalent. “SUITABLE FOR
MOBILE HOME USE.”

Section 12. Condensate Drain Piping
12.1 Condensate Drain Piping Considerations
Condensate drain plumbing must comply with na- •
tional, state, and local codes.
Route condensate drain lines away from air handler •
so they do not interfere with access panels.
Slope the drain lines downward a minimum of 1/4” •
per foot, support per local codes.
Do not use reducing fittings in the condensate drain •
lines.
12.2 Connect Condensate Drain Piping
STEP 1 - Select the drain connections that are ori-
ented for your application.
STEP 2 - Prepare the condensate drain connections.
From the factory, the unit comes with plugs in both •
upflow condensate drains and an additional plug in
the documentation packet.
For upflow applications, remove upflow condensate •
plug(s) and connect condensate piping.
For all other applications, do not remove upflow •
condensate plugs. Remove the cover from the
needed condensate drain connections and connect
condensate piping.
If the secondary drain connection is not used, close •
secondary drain with plug from documentation
packet (all applications except for upflow).
Note: Upflow and horizontal orientations require the
Coil panel to be removed in order to make the drain
connections. Note: Make certain that the unit has
been installed in a level position to allow for proper
draining.
Do not connect the drain line to a closed drain •
system.
Do not use a torch or flame near the plastic drain •
pan coupling.
A P-trap is not required for proper drainage due to •
the positive pressure of the air handler; however,
it is recommended to prevent efficiency loss of
conditioned air.

ditional information.
Continuous Fan
IMPORTANT: If the indoor air exceeds 60% relative humidity or simply feels uncomfortably humid, it
is recommended that the indoor fan only be used in
the AUTO mode.
1. R-G contacts close on comfort control sending 24VAC
to the G terminal on the fan TDR
2. Low speed contacts close in the TDR and send
24VAC on terminal labeled “LOW’.
3. Blower motor will now run on low speed. Speed is
field selectable.
Heat Pump OD (cooling)
1. R-Y contacts close on the comfort control sending
24VAC to Y terminal on TDR and the YI (Y In) terminal on the EVC.
2. R-G contacts also close on the comfort control send-
ing 24VAC to the G terminal on the TDR. (The combination of 24VAC on terminals Y and G on the TDR
will close the high speed contacts of the TDR)
3. R-O contacts on the comfort control close sending
24VAC to the O terminal on the EVC. This signals
the EVC that the unit is in cooling mode. The EVC
will control the EEV to maintain the correct superheat.
4. Normally closed contacts on the EVC will pass 24VAC
to the Yo terminal providing power to the outdoor unit
control circuit
5. The blower motor will now run on high speed. Speed
is field selectable.
Heat Pump OD (heating)
1. R-Y contacts close on the comfort control sending
24VAC to Y terminal on TDR and the YI (Y In) terminal on the EVC
2. R-G contacts also close on the comfort control
sending 24VAC to the G terminal on the TDR. (The
combination of 24VAC on terminals Y and G on the
TDR will close the high speed contacts of the TDR)
The blower motor will now run on high speed.
3. The combination of 24VAC on the Y terminal and zero
volts on the O terminal signals the EVC that the unit is in
heat-pump heating mode.
4. Normally closed contacts on the EVC will pass 24VAC
to the Yo terminal providing power to the outdoor unit
control circuit
5. The blower motor will now run on high speed
Cooling OD
1. R-Y contacts close on the comfort control sending 24VAC
to Y terminal on TDR and the YI (Y In) terminal on the
EVC
2. R-G contacts also close on the comfort control sending
24VAC to the G terminal on the TDR. (The combination
of 24VAC on terminals Y and G on the TDR will close
the high speed contacts of the TDR)
3. R-O jumper on the TDR sends 24VAC to the O terminal
on the EVC. This signals the EVC that the unit is in cooling mode. The EVC will control the EEV to maintain the
correct superheat.
4. Normally closed contacts on the EVC will pass 24VAC
to the Yo terminal providing power to the outdoor unit
control circuit
5. The blower motor will now run on high speed
Electric Heating
1. R-W contacts close on the comfort control sending 24VAC
to the W terminal on the TDR. 24VAC is also sent to
EHC to energize the heat relay.
2. R-G contacts close on the comfort control sending 24VAC
to the G terminal on the TDR. (The combination of
24VAC on terminals W and G on the TDR will close the
high speed contacts of the TDR)
3. WJ contacts on the TDR close providing an interlock
circuit to allow the electric heat relays to operate.
The comfort control must be setup to control R-G contacts
with a call for electric heat. This closes the interlock
circuit and allows the heat relay circuit to be energized.
Optional Condensate Switch
1. An optional OEM condensate switch can be installed
within the unit. This switch is only available through the
National Distribution Center or Global Parts.
2. Switch contacts are normally open and close when water
level rises. The closed switch will interrupt current flow to
the Yo terminal and de-energize the OD unit.
3. Switch is only operational during cooling mode. Condensate overflow is not operational during heating or defrost
modes.
Standard aftermarket condensate switches cannot be used
within the unit but can be installed exterior of the unit.
Switch should be wired in series with Yo wiring to the
OD unit.

Freeze Protection
1. The EVC control has the ability to sense when the coil is
beginning to ice. When this event occurs, the contacts to
the Yo circuit will open and de-energize the OD unit.
2. The indoor blower motor will continue to run to aid in defrosting the coil. After the coil has sufficiently defrosted,
the Yo contacts will close and cooling operation will
begin again.
Fan Off Delay
1. The TDR has a dip switch that can enable a 90 second
fan off delay anytime a fan call is made from the comfort
control. The factory default is ON. To disable the delay,
turn power off to the unit, turn the dip switch to the off
position and turn power back on to the unit.
