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.
