WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
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
compounds, and cement creates a corrosive condition
which may cause rapid deterioration of the cabinet and
internal components.
Important: Panel damage can occur with prolonged
exposure to POE lubricants. Air handler front panels
that come in contact with POE oil must be washed
immediately with soapy water.
Important: Can not leave door panels in the sun during
installation as the extreme temperature has a tendency
to warp the plastic outer panel.
SAFETY HAZARD! Sharp Edge Hazard. Be careful
of sharp edges on equipment or any cuts made on
sheet metal while installing or servicing. Personal injury
may result.

6.3 Non Ducted Applications
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 clear-
ances to combustible materials and service
access must be observed (see outline draw-
ing).
• 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.
• Review local codes to determine limitations if
the unit is installed without a return air duct.

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. Hazard-
ous vapors can be distributed throughout the condi-
tioned space and equipment damage can result.
Ducted Return Installations:
• Installation in an attic, garage, or crawl space with
ducted supply and return air is appropriate. Minimum
clearances to combustible materials and service ac-
cess must be observed (see outline drawing).

6.5 Additional Unit Preparation Considerations
For proper installation the following items must be con-
sidered prior to moving the unit to its installation site:
• Important: When the air handler is located adjacent
to the living area, the system should be carefully
designed with returns which minimize noise trans-
mission through the return air grill. Although the air
handler is designed with large blowers operating at
moderate speeds, any blower moving a high volume
of air will produce audible noise which could be objec-
tionable when the unit is located very close to a living
area. It is often advisable to route the return ducts
under the floor through the attic. Such design permits
the installation of air return remote from the living area
(i.e central hall).
• 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 installed prior to moving the air
handler to its installation location. Unless two side
returns are used, the Side Return Kit may not be on
the same side as the LV wiring entry point. See the
Side Return Kit # BAYSRKIT100A Installer Guide for
detailed instructions, if used.
• 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, fol-
low 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 instruc-
tions. These should only be installed on the supply
air side of the system.
• Note: The air handlers have been evaluated in accor-
dance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter
XX, Part 3280 or the equivalent. “SUITABLE FOR
MOBILE HOME USE.”
• Important: The GAM5B0C60M51SB and GAM5B0C-
60M51EA air handlers applied in downflow or hori-
zontal configurations should not exceed 2000 CFM.
Airflow above 2000 CFM could result in water blow-
off. For verification, see airflow table.
• Note: This unit is certified to UL 60335-2-40.
The interior cabinet wall meets the following:
- UL94-5VA Flame Class Listed
- UL723 Steiner Tunnel Listed for 25/50 Flame/
Smoke
- UL746C Listed for Exposure to Ultraviolet Light,
Water Exposure and Immersion

17
Section 7. Setting the Unit - Vertical Installation
7.1 Considerations
Provide a minimum height of 14 inches for proper
unrestricted airflow below the unit. Allow a minimum
of 21 inches clearance in front of the air handler to
permit maintenance and removal of filter.
• Position unit on suitable foundation. If a manu-
facturer approved accessory is not used, a frame
strong enough to support the total weight of the
unit, accessories, and duct work must be provided.
• Isolate unit from the foundation using a suitable
isolating material.

Section 8. Setting the Unit - Horizontal Installation
Important: For the 5 ton air handler model
GAM5B0C60M51EB, tap 5 should not be used in
the downflow or horizontal orientations. Using Tap 5
could result in water blowing off the coil.
Note: BAYHHKIT001A Hanging Bracket Kit may be
ordered separately.
Important: The BAYHHKIT001A may not be used
if the cabinet has been altered per Installer Guide
18-GJ58D1-1.
STEP 1 - Support the unit from the bottom (near both
ends). The service access must remain unobstructed.
Important: The unit can only be supported from the
bottom unless using kit BAYHHKIT001A. Do not drill
or screw supports into any area of the cabinet.
Note: Do not allow the unit to be used as strain relief.
• Approved bottom support methods are rails, u-chan-
nels (Unistrut®), or other load bearing materials.
• The unit must be isolated carefully to prevent sound
transmission. Field supplied vibration isolators are
recommended.
STEP 2 - Install an auxiliary drain pan under the
horizontal air handler to prevent possible damage to
ceilings.
• Isolate the auxiliary drain pan from the unit and from
the structure.
• Connect the auxiliary drain pan to a separate drain
line and terminate according to local codes.

Section 9. Connecting the Duct work
9.1 Duct Connection Considerations
• The supply and return air ducts must be connected
to the unit with non flammable duct connectors.
• See the Outline drawing for sizes of the duct
connections.
• After the ducts are secured, seal around the
supply and return ducts to prevent air leakage.
• Insulate all duct work that will be outside of
conditioned spaces.
• Convertible Duct Flange Kits are available to
connect the supply plenum or for mounting on the
discharge opening to provide a “flush fit” for 1-1/2”
duct board applications.
• If front or rear return is required, the air handler
must be elevated - placed on a pedestal or plenum
and duct must be connected to this pedestal or
plenum.
• If side return is required, the Side Return Kit
# BAYSRKIT100A accessory must be used. A
remote filter will be required.
• To ensure maximum efficiency and system
performance, 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 additional information.
Note: Side return is not approved without Side
Return Kit # BAYSRKIT100. More than one Side
Return Kit may be necessary depending on the
application. Refer to the Installation Guide in
BAYSRKIT100 for approved duct connections,
sizing, number, transitions, and accessory
application.
Note: Duct work must be supported as appropriate.
See National and local codes for guidelines. Do not
depend on the unit to support duct work.
Important: Due to the unique design of this unit,
which allows the electrical wiring to be routed
within the insulation, 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 Installer Guide.
Important:
Under no conditions should metal
strapping be attached to the unit to be used as support
mechanisms for carrying or suspension purposes.
Important: On units with sheet metal returns: Return
air plenum must be flanged. Sheet metal drill point
screws must be 1/2” in length or shorter.
