Power Connection Kits For Premium Series (5500)

The Zoneline 5500 Series units are connected to the building power supply by a unique power connection kit. By utilizing a separate universal power connection (UPC) kit, each unit is capable of providing various outputs of electric resistance heat to more closely meet the heating requirements of the particular room, thereby increasing the installation flexibility of the particular chassis. This power connection kit is the only means of supplying power to the Zoneline chassis and the appropriate kit is determined by the voltage and the desired resistance heat output that may be supported by the branch circuit.

230/208 Volt Installations

Connections to 208 or 230 volt circuits may be made with a line cord power connection kit.

Line Cord Kits consist of a self-aligning 9-pin molded connector that plugs into a mating connector on the Zoneline chassis and insulated line cord with an electrical plug on the end. The configuration of the electrical plug conforms to NEC standards for the circuit amperage and the postion of the wires in the 9-pin connector determines the heater wattage and current requirements when it is plugged into the Zoneline chassis.

Maximum Cord Extension

Permanent Connection is accomplished by ordering the correct ampacity electrical sub-base to match the Power Cord Kit being used. See page 23 Sub-Base for description.

There may be special requirements by some sites that rigid or flexible conduit be used. (Such as the wall case must be installed flush to finished floor and there is no room for a sub-base.) In these installations the RAK4002B junction box will be needed and the Power Cord/Cord Set will be cut and connected to building wiring inside the RAK4002B junction box. Conduit will be attached to the RAK4002B and to the site supplied building/room junction box where the building wiring enters the room. Wiring will be totally enclosed by conduit and junction boxes.
