RAK204D30P 208/230 volt 30-amp receptacle. Receptacle is NEMA6-30R with 18" of #12AWG wires attached to the receptacle. Short power connection kit included. Chaseway included.
The junction box (RAK4002A for 4100 and 6100 Series units) that mounts on the chassis of 230/208 volt sub-base connected units must be purchased separately.
Sub-bases for the 265-volt units:
RAK204E15 265-volt 15-amp receptacle. Receptacle is NEMA7-15R with 18" of #12AWG wires attached to the receptacle. Chaseway included.
RAK204E20 265-volt 20-amp receptacle. Receptacle is NEMA7-20R with 18" of #12AWG wires attached to the receptacle. Chaseway included.
RAK204E30 265-volt 30-amp receptacle. Receptacle is NEMA7-30R with 18" of #12AWG wires attached to the receptacle. Chaseway included.
The junction box for 265-volt units is shipped with the chassis since all 265-volt units are to be “permanently (or direct) connected.”
The power connection kit is not included
There are separate internal compartments to permit separation of low-voltage (Class 2) connections from line- voltage connections as required by NEC. Conduit containing building wiring enters the sub-base through knockouts located in the rear or bottom of the sub-base and is not accessible when the wall case is installed.
The sub-base attaches to the RAB71 wall case with two clips (field-assembled) that are screwed into pre-drilled holes in the bottom front flange of the wall case. It attaches to the RAB77 wall case with clips that fit over molded ribs without requiring the use of screws into the wall case. See page 33 for illustration. Since the sub-base extends under the wall case, clearance from the inner edge of the wall case to the finished wall must be 2-3/8" or greater. The sub-base has four leveling legs and adjustable side channels to enable the area under the wall case to be enclosed. Clearance from the bottom edge of the wall case to the finished floor must be between 3" and 5".
The sub-base may be used as support for the chassis and wall case in installations where the wall is of insufficient thickness to provide secure mounting of the wall case.
Wall Case Installation Data
General
Generally, Zoneline units are installed 3" to 5" above the floor (flush to finished floor installation is possible) as near to the center of the room as possible; underneath a window or a glass panel is typical. Normal installation of the wall case allows installation flexibility; from flush with the finished interior wall to a minimum of 1/4" of the wall case extending beyond the finished exterior of the building. Special consideration must be given to installations where the wall case does not extend a minimum of 1/4" beyond the finished exterior wall. See pages 30 and 31 for information on this type
of installation. The unit may be installed high in the wall and these installations usually require a remote thermostat and are discussed on pages 15 and 16.
Regardless of the installation, there are several things to consider when selecting a location for installing the unit. For instance, drapery location could interfere with air discharge, and placement of furniture may have an impact on the performance of the unit. The following information is intended to minimize installation problems and assure you of trouble-free installation.
Refer to page 21 for required wall opening dimensions. Minimum recommended interior and exterior case projections for standard wall thicknesses are shown in the drawings in this manual. The case may be installed flush with the finished indoor wall. Special attention must be paid to room-side case projection when the unit is installed in a ducted application as shown on pages 38 and 39.
In walls thicker than 13-1/2" for line-cord-connected units and 11-1/8" for sub-base installations, it may be necessary to install a field-fabricated case extension or use one of the special- order RAB71 deep wall cases. Such extensions must be carefully flashed and sealed both to the wall case and to the wall to ensure water integrity. This is necessary to ensure that any water entering the wall case, either from operation of the unit or from other sources, such as rain storms or from washing the exterior of the building, will drain from the case without the possibility of capillary action drawing the water into either the room or the wall cavity. In an installation where the case is recessed less than 3" from the outside surface, flashing and sealing may be all the modification necessary. In such an installation, the sides and top of the wall opening must be waterproof to prevent moisture from seeping into and damaging the walls. See pages 30 and 31 for suggested detail. Since the installation of a case extension requires a considerable amount of attention, we recommend using one of the deep wall cases if the standard case is not of sufficient depth.
Mounting an outdoor grille or louver section to the building face may cause a space between the outdoor coil and the louver section. Air splitters, aligned with the ends of the outdoor coil, must be installed between the outdoor coil inlet and outlet air streams. Gaps between the outdoor coil and the louver section may allow condenser air recirculation and affect the operation of the unit. See page 41 for requirements for custom louvers.
The wall case should be level from side to side and from level to 1/4 bubble tilt to the outdoors. The condensate disposal system in the unit is designed to dissipate the condensate water generated during cooling operation in accordance with ARI standards and actually uses this water for maximum unit efficiency. A level unit will also ensure proper performance of the Internal Condensate Removal (ICR) system optional on heat pump units.
