Electrical Wiring Information – 4100/6100 Series
All Zonelines are single-phase 60 hertz units.
For all installations, the feeder, sub-feeder, branch circuit and electrical protective devices and selection must conform to the National Electrical Code and to local codes.
Maximum connected load in amperes, including demands for the electric heater and the fan motor, are shown on page 44. Branch circuit ampacity and electrical protective device sizing are shown on page 42 for 230/208-volt and for 265-volt units.
More than one unit per branch circuit is not recommended. When in doubt, consult the National Electrical Code. All wiring, including installation of receptacle, must conform to local electrical regulations and codes.
Replacement of Existing Chassis
230/208-Volt and 265-Volt Units
There have been changes to NEC and improvements and modifications to the Zoneline chassis and sub-bases since the unit was first introduced. Some of these changes require alterations to be made when replacing an older unit with a new chassis.
Line-Cord Connected Units
The plug configuration of new line-cord connected units complies with the current NEC standards. Older installations may have wall receptacles that conformed to NEC standards at the time the building was constructed and may not match the configuration of the plug on the new line cord. The recommended solution is to change the wall receptacle to conform to current standard plug configuration. See chart on this page for current receptacle configuration.

Permanently Connected Units With Sub-Base
If the existing unit is connected to a sub-base, the installation of the new unit may involve modifying the existing installation slightly. It is recommended these modifications be made by a qualified electrician.
If the existing sub-base is the full width of the wall case, RAK201 sub-base access plate may be ordered and used to replace the cover on the old sub-base. Field-supplied wiring, conduit and conduit connectors should be used to make a connection between the new chassis and the center knockout of the RAK201. The wiring connections should be made inside the sub-base and the RAK201 attached to the sub-base with the two screws provided.
If the existing sub-base is not the full width of the wall case, the electrician will have to modify the existing cover plate to allow field-supplied wiring, conduit and conduit connectors to be run from the permanent connection kit to the sub-base.
Enclosure cover removed.
RAK4002A
Wiring harness can be ordered separately as RAK4002CW.
