230/208 VOLT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
A power supply kit must be used to supply power to the
Zoneline unit. The appropriate kit is determined by the
voltage, the means of electrical connection, and the
amperage of the branch circuit. See the POWER
CONNECTION CHART to confirm the appropriate kit.
All wiring, including installation of the receptacle,
must be in accordance with the NEC and local codes,
ordinances, and regulations.

1. Remove the room cabinet by pulling it out at the bottom
to release it (1); then lift it up to clear the rail along the
unit top (2).
2. Insert the plug into the socket located in the wiring
compartment, making sure the plug is firmly seated
and the latches secure the connector assembly.
3. Position the cord and install the strain relief and screw
as shown.
4. Reinstall the room cabinet front by positioning on the
top brackets and securing the sides to the unit.
5. Install the attachment plug cap into the wall
receptacle and check the Zoneline operation.

1. Remove the front panel by removing the filter, taking
out the four front screws, the upper two screws from
the top of the panel, and the shipping screws on each
side, if present. (Discard the two side shipping screws,
if present.)
2. Remove the junction box cover and the junction box
and discard.
3. Connect the power cord, with a loop, through the
strain relief.
4. Replace the case front panel by replacing the four
front screws and the two top screws. Replace the
filter.

(RAK4002B is also required)
1. Remove the room cabinet front from the unit.
2. Measure 6″ down the cord from where it emerges
from the back of the yellow 9-pin connector and cut
the cord through at this point.
3. Carefully remove 3″ of the cordset insulation so as to
expose the three insulated wires.
4. Strip 3/4″ of the
insulation away at the
end of each of the
three wires (L1,
Neutral, and Ground).
5. Remove the 2 “A” screws (from the RAK4002B kit)
and remove the cover from the box.
6. Use the round knockout at the bottom of the junction
box to attach conduit coming from the branch circuit.
Leave 6″ of wire free at the end of the conduit to
allow connections to be made.
7. Install the box to the unit with the “B” screw. Be sure
the tab and the box wall at the lower right rear corner
of the box straddle the barrier.
8. Connect the branch
circuit conductors
to the stripped cord
leads with fieldsupplied wire nuts.
9. Plug the 9-pin
connector fully into
place in the unit,
mating with the
9-pin receptacle.
Be sure the locking
tabs at the top and bottom are engaged.
10. Dress the wiring inside the junction box and attach
the cover plate with screws “A” and “C.”
11. Reinstall the room cabinet front.

2. Carefully remove 6″ of the cordset insulation
so as to expose the three insulated wires.
3. Strip 3/4″ of the insulation away at the end of each

4. Remove the unit front panel by removing the filter,
taking out the four front screws, the upper two
screws from the top of the panel, and the shipping
screws on each side, if present. (Discard the two side
shipping screws, if present.)
5. Remove the junction box cover by taking out the
front two screws.
6. Use the round knockout hole at the top of the
junction box to install conduit coming from the
branch circuit. Install and clamp the conduit through
the conduit clamp and bring wire leads into the
junction box. Leave 8″ of wire free from the end of
the conduit.

7. Make all wire connections by using appropriate UL-listed electrical
connectors and techniques.
8. Select the applicable wiring situation and follow the instructions accordingly:
•1-Phase 220-240 VAC
When connecting the Zoneline to a single-phase circuit for
230V applications:
Connect the white and black leads of the Zoneline power supply kit to the branch
circuit L1 and L2 leads. (The white lead of the power supply kit should be
identified by the installer using electrical tape with some color other than green or
white.) Connect the green lead of the power supply kit to the power supply and
branch circuit ground.
• 3-Phase 208 VAC
When connecting the Zoneline to a three-phase circuit for
208V applications:
Connect the white and black leads of the Zoneline power supply kit to the branch
circuit L1 and L2 leads. (The white lead of the power supply kit should be
identified by the installer using electrical tape with some color other than green or
white.) Connect the green lead of the power supply kit to the power supply and
branch circuit ground.
• 3-Phase 208 VAC with “Crazy Leg”
When connecting the Zoneline to a three-phase circuit with “Crazy
Leg” for 208V applications:
Connect the white and black leads of the Zoneline power supply kit to the branch
circuit Neutral and L1 leads. (The white lead of the power supply kit should be
connected to neutral.) Connect the green lead of the power supply kit to the
power supply and branch circuit ground.
9. Be sure that all wire leads are inside the junction box and not pinched
between the box and the unit. The green insulated ground wire from the
Zoneline MUST be connected to the branch circuit ground wire.
10. Plug the 9-pin connector into the 9-pin receptacle in the junction box.
11. Replace the junction box cover by replacing the two screws removed
earlier.
12. Replace the case front panel by replacing the four front screws and
the two top screws. Replace the filter.
