Installer’s Guide
6. It is recommended that the outline drawing be stud-
ied and dimensions properly noted and checked
against selected installation site. By noting in ad-
vance which knockouts are to be used, proper clear-
ance allowances can be made for installation and fu-
ture service.
7. Allow a
minimum of 21 inches clearance
in front
of the air handler to permit removal of COLLEC-
TION CELL and FIELD CHARGER.
8. Do not install air handler where air cleaner can be
exposed to UV light.
9. When the air handler with supplementary heater is
to be installed in the downflow position on combus-
tible flooring an accessory sub-base (TAYBASE101
for 2/4TEE3D31, TAYBASE100 for 2/4TEE3D37,
TAYBASE102 for 2/4TEE3D40-65) must be used.
See Figure 1.
10. If supplementary heat is to be added, power supply
must be sufficient to carry the load. In addition,
minimum airflow settings, unit and duct clearances
to combustible material must be maintained as
stated on the air handler rating nameplate.

CAUTION
!
For air handlers not equipped with a factory installed
electric heater, a field installed heater is available from
Trane. Only heaters built by Trane are approved for use
in the air handler. These heaters have been designed
and tested in accordance with UL standards to provide
safe and reliable operation. A list of approved heaters
is provided on the air handler rating nameplate. Heat-
ers that are not factory approved could cause damage
and are not covered under equipment warranty.
NOTE: If air handler is used WITHOUT a supplemen-
tary electric heater, a sheetmetal plate is required to
cover the open hole in the airflow system. See Figure
3
.
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, includ-
ing 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 installa-
tion in an attic, garage or crawl space with ducted sup-
ply and return air.
This equipment has been evaluated in accordance with
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment code. Air handler is Suitable for mobile home/
manufactured housing use. Unit is also approved for
modular homes.
For proper installation the following items must be con-
sidered:
1. If adequate power is available and correct according
to nameplate specifications.
2.
Prior to unit installation, a heavy gauge steel
plate is attached to the bottom of the unit for
protection during shipping and handling.
Leave this plate in place until the unit is
ready to be connected to ductwork.
3. Insulate all ducts, particularly if unit is located out-
side of the conditioned space.
4. Pursuant to Florida Building Code 13-610.2.A.2.1,
this unit meets the criteria for a factory sealed
air handler.
5. To ensure maximum efficiency and system perfor-
mance, 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 addi-
tional information.
