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.

FOR 230/208 VOLT POWER CORD CONNECTIONS ONLY

Test the Current Interrupter

These kits include a Leakage Current Detection
Interrupter (LCDI) device. These Current Interruption (CI)
devices comply with Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
1699 and National Electrical Code (NEC), section 440.65
and are not required to function as Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters (GFCI).

1. Set the Zoneline unit to operate in Low Fan mode and
verify operation.

2. Press the Test button. Reset button should pop out with
a click. Unit should shut down with no power.

3. If Test button does not trip and remove power from unit
when depressed, contact a qualified service technician.

4. Press the Reset button. Test button should pop out
with a click and unit should resume operation.

Due to the Random Restart feature, there is a
planned 2 to 25 second delay in the restart of
the Zoneline.

5. If unit does not operate, repeat steps 2 through 4.

6. If unit still does not operate, contact a qualified service

technician.

7. Test the current interrupter device on a periodic basis.
