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.
