IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL

SAFETY- READ CAREFULLY

CAUTION

• Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) or local codes and ordinances.
• For personal safety, this Zoneline must be properly grounded.
• Protective devices (fuses or circuit breakers) acceptable for Zoneline installations are specified on the nameplate of each unit.
• Do not use an extension cord with this unit.
• Aluminium building wiring may present special problems—consult a qualified electrician.
• When the unit is in the OFF position, there is still voltage to the electrical controls.
• Disconnect the power to the unit before servicing by:
  1. Removing the power cord (if it has one) from the wall receptacle. OR
  2. Removing the branch circuit fuses or turning the circuit breakers off at the panel.

REPLACING AN EXISTING UNIT

Use the correct wall sleeve

This unit is designed to be installed in a GE Appliances plastic or insulated metal wall sleeve. This minimizes condensation from forming on the room side of the case.
NOTE: There are several extra holes in the unit side flanges for installation in wall sleeves other than GE Appliances. To avoid damaging the flange insulation, the installer should use an awl or other sharp tool to puncture the insulation in the appropriate holes before installing the attachment screws.

Use the correct outdoor grille

You should use the outdoor grilles shown on the “Essential Elements” label on the base pan.

• If an existing grille is not replaced, capacity and efficiency will be reduced and the unit may fail to operate properly or fail prematurely. A deflector kit, RAK40, may be used with grilles that were not designed for your new GE Appliances Zonelines. The RAK40 contains air deflectors and gaskets that mount to the unit to direct the hot exhaust air away from the air intake to allow the unit to function properly. The grille must have a 65% minimum free area (as calculated by ASHRAE). See the Architects and Engineers Data Manual for more detailed information.
• Any vertical deflectors in a non-GE appliance’s existing rear grille should be removed to decrease condenser air recirculation that can cause the unit to “short-cycle” and lead to premature component failure.

Use the correct power cord

Codes require the use of arc fault or leakage current detection devices on 230/208-volt installations.

Replacing a ducted unit

New ducted installation:

If this unit is to be installed in a new ducted application using a duct adapter kit, the kit must be installed before the unit is placed in the wall case. The installation instructions are packed with the kit.

Duct kits available:

Existing ducted installation:

Replacement of an existing ducted unit may require different components. Request this information from your sales representative. Duct seals on existing unit need to be removed and added to the new unit.

• Replacing 230/208-volt units:
• Replacing 265-volt units:

When using a duct kit, you must always turn Mode 7 to ON “ ” See Mode instructions

POWER CORD CONNECTION

Depending on the application, a power supply kit with LCDI 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.

Connections of 208 or 230-volt circuits may be with a power supply kit or a junction box kit. All wiring, including installation of the receptacle, must be in accordance with the NEC and local codes, ordinances and regulations. Codes require the use of an arc fault or leakage current detection device on the power cord except for direct connect. Be sure to select the correct cord for your installation.

Power cords may include an arc fault interruption or a leakage current detection interruption device. A test and reset button is provided on the plug case or the inline case. The device should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the button and then the RESET button. If the TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the Zoneline and contact a qualified service   technician.

ELECTRICAL SUBBASE CONNECTION

230/208-volt models may be installed using one of the following electrical subbases:

Electrical subbases provide an enclosure for direct connection or enclosed receptacles. The subbase kit includes the power cord. The instructions provided with the selected subbase kit must be carefully followed. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the connection of components is done in accordance with these instructions and all electrical codes. When using a sub-base electrical connection, the RAK4002D Junction Box is required for a complete and proper installation.

DIRECT CONNECTION

Order one of the following Kits for 230/208-volt direct connection as reauired:

Review installation instructions provided with direct connect kits for detailed assembly instructions. When using a direct connection, the RAK4002D Junction Box is required for a complete and proper installation.

WARNING

Connection of this 265 V AC product to a branch circuit MUST be done by direct connection in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Plugging this unit into a building-mounted exposed receptacle is not permitted by code. These models must be installed using the appropriate GE Appliances power supply kit for the branch circuit amperage and the electrical resistance heater wattage desired. Use the POWER CONNECTION CHART on page 21 to determine the correct kit required. One of the following installation methods must be used:

A. FOR SUBBASE INSTALLATION

Electrical subbase kits are available to provide a flexible enclosure for direct connection.

---|---
15| 5$.204(15&
20| 5$.204(20&
30| 5$.204(30&

The instructions provided with the selected subbase kit must be carefully followed. The subbase kit includes the power connection kit. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the connection of components is done in accordance with these instructions and all electrical codes.

B. FOR DIRECT CONNECT INSTALLATION

If an electrical subbase is not used, direct connection to branch circuit wiring inside the provided junction box must be done in accordance with the following steps. Order the following Kit for 265-volt direct connection as reauired:

Review installation instructions provided with power cord or direct connect kits for detailed assembly instructions.

2. A junction box (purchased separately) is required with these kits.
3. The required junction box comes pre-installed on the chassis.

INSTALLING THE ZONELINE

INSTALL THE WALL SLEEVE AND EXTERIOR GRILLE
The RAB 81/81B series or RAB78 wall sleeve must be properly installed per instructions packed with the sleeve.

• Assemble the wall sleeve as detailed in the instructions packed with it. Ensure all pieces are properly snapped together.
• Attach the outdoor panel to the rear of the assembly to help close off the building from the elements.
• Install, secure and caulk the sleeve.
• When the chassis is ready to be installed, remove the outdoor panel and then install and secure the grille prior to installing the chassis.
• Install the exterior grille from the room side following instructions packed with the grille.

NOTE: For installation with a subbase or duct adapter, see the instructions packed with those kits.

PREPARE THE UNIT

• Carefully remove the foam shipping blocks from the room front, compressor and outdoor fan. There may be multiple blocks and pieces of shipping tape that need to be removed.
• Remove the room cover by pulling it out at the bottom to release it (1); then lift it up to clear the rail along the unit top (2).
• If vent door is to be operational, remove shipping screws from the front side of the vent door, if present.

INSTALL THE UNIT INTO THE WALL SLEEVE

Slide the unit into the wall sleeve and secure with four screws through the unit flange holes. The four screws will be located in a sealed bag that sits under the control panel, sitting in the pocket in the base pan.

NOTE: There are several extra holes in the unit side flanges for installation in wall sleeves other than GE Appliances To avoid damaging the flange insulation, the installer should use an awl or other sharp tool to puncture the insulation in the appropriate holes before installing the attachment screws.

CONNECT POWER CORD OR DIRECT CONNECT KIT

Review installation instructions provided with power cord or direct connect kits for detailed assembly instructions.

REPLACE THE ROOM FRONT
