The following instructions cover 2A7A5, 2A7A4, 2A7A2, & 2A7A1
Condensing Units.
NOTE: The 2A7A4, 2A7A2,& 2A7A1 outdoor units, except
for the 5 ton models, may be used with indoor units
equipped with Thermostatic Expansion Valve or Accutron™
Flow Control Check Valve (F.C.C.V.) assembly for refriger-
ant flow control only. The 2A7A5 & all 5 ton outdoor units
must be used with indoor units equipped with Thermo-
static Expansion Valve only.
Check for transportation damage after unit is uncrated. Report
promptly, to the carrier, any damage found to the unit.

basepan. Remove tabs by cutting with a sharp tool as shown in
Figure 2 (see page 2).
2. The unit should be set on a level support pad at least as large
as the unit base pan, such as a concrete slab. If this is not the
application used please reference ALG-APG0*-EN (*latest revi-
sion number).
3. The support pad must NOT be in direct contact with any
structure. Unit must be positioned a minimum of 12" from any
wall or surrounding shrubbery to insure adequate airflow.
Clearance must be provided in front of control box (access
panels) & any other side requiring service access to meet
National Electrical Code. Also, the unit location must be far
enough away from any structure to prevent excess roof run-off
water from pouring directly on the unit. When choosing the
