Trane GAF2A0A36S3AEC Assembly instructions
18-GJ47D1-5
ALL phases of this installation must comply with NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL CODES.
Important: This Document is customer property and is to remain with unit. Please return to service information pack
upon completion of work.
Important: These instructions do not cover all variations
in systems nor provide for every possible contingency to
be met in connection with the installation. Should further
information be desired or should particular problems
arise which are not covered sufficiently for the pur-
chaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred to your
installing dealer or local distributor.
Note: The manufacturer recommends installing ONLY
approved, matched indoor and outdoor systems. Some
of the benefits of installing approved matched indoor and
outdoor split systems are maximum efficiency, optimum
performance, and the best overall system reliability.
Note: All ratings use a 90-second fan off delay. Use
your branded thermostat or separate relay to enable this
delay.
Note: Condensation may occur on the surface of the air
handler when installed in an unconditioned space. When
units are installed in unconditioned spaces, verify that
all electrical and refrigerant line penetrations on the air
handler are sealed completely.
Important: The GAM2A0C60S5ASC air handler applied
in the horizontal configuration should not exceed 2000
CFM. Airflow above 2000 CFM could result in water
blow-off. For verification, see airflow table.

Section 1. Safety Information

WARNING
!
SAFETY HAZARD! This information is intended for use
by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical and
mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a central air condition-
ing product may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
The manufacturer or seller cannot be responsible for the interpreta-
tion of this information, nor can it assume any liability in connection
with its use.
LIVE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS! During instal-
lation, testing, servicing, and troubleshooting of this product, it may
be necessary to work with live electrical components. Failure to fol-
low all electrical safety precautions when exposed to live electrical
components could result in death or serious injury.
▲CAUTION
!
▲
WARNING
!
CORROSION HAZARD! 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 com-
pounds, and cement creates a corrosive condition which may cause
rapid deterioration of the cabinet and internal components.
Important: Due to the unique design of this unit, which
allows the electrical wiring to be routed within the insula-
tion, do not screw, cut, or otherwise puncture the unit
cabinet in any location other than the ones illustrated in
this Installer Guide or in an approved accessory’s In-
staller Guide.
Important: Under no conditions should metal strapping
be attached to the unit to be used as support mecha-
nisms for carrying or suspension purposes.
SAFETY HAZARD! Sharp Edge Hazard. Be careful of sharp
edges on equipment or any cuts made on sheet metal while install-
ing or servicing. Personal injury may result.
▲CAUTION
!
▲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.
