TAYBASE102 for 4TEE3F40- 065A) must be used.
See Figure 1.

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.

CAUTION
!
For air handlers not equipped with a factory installed electric
heater, a field installed heater is available from American
Standard Inc. Only heaters built by American Standard Inc.
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.
Heaters that are not factory approved could cause damage
and are not covered under equipment warranty.
NOTE:
If air handler is used WITHOUT a supplementary electric
heater, a sheetmetal plate is required to cover the open hole
in the airflow system. See Figure 2
.
Also seal the cabinet air
tight where the wire enters.
9. If field installed electric heaters are applied, mini-
mum air flow settings, unit and duct clearances to
combustibles must be maintained as stated on the
air handler rating nameplate.

4. The Refrigerant lines must be sealed and Electri-
cal inlets need to be sealed at both the low and
the high voltage.
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-
