User Manual
External Fan (Field Installed)
When connected, an auxiliary or external fan can be controlled 
with the indoor fan motor on the Zoneline. Connections provide 
24 V AC to energize a remote relay.
The RAKCDC accessory must be used when using an external 
fan.
Central Desk Control (Field Supplied)
The Central Desk Control is a feature that allows the unit to be 
made operable/inoperable from a remote location. Operation 
of the feature requires that an ON-OFF switch at the remote 
location be wired to the two CDC terminals on the control panel 
of the Zoneline. When the remote switch is CLOSED, the unit 
cannot be operated in the Fan, Cool, or Heat modes by the 
control. The Freeze Sentinel and the Heat Sentinel features 
remain operable. When the remote switch is Open, the unit is 
fully operable by control. 
The RAKCDC accessory must be used with a central desk control 
system. No “Common Busing” is permitted.
Remote Thermostat
The Remote Thermostat Connectors are included with each 
Zoneline.
When connected to a remote thermostat, the indoor air 
temperature sensing is shifted from the unit to the remote 
thermostat. For this reason, the units will operate slightly 
differently when connected to a remote thermostat. The 
following chart shows the unit operation when connected to a 
remote thermostat.
IMPORTANT: 
The Zoneline thermostat connections 
provide 24 V AC only.
If using a digital/electronic wall thermostat, you must set it to 
the 24 V AC setting. See the Installation Instructions for the wall 
thermostat.
NOTICE:
Damage to a wall thermostat or to the Zoneline electronics can 
result from improper connections. Special care must be used 
in connecting the wires. No line voltage connections should be 
made to any circuit. Isolate all wires in building from line voltage.

NOTE: The Class 2 Mode setting (Mode 6) must be set to ON “ “ 
for the unit to operate with a Class 2 Remote Wall Thermostat. 
(See the installation instructions supplied with the remote 
thermostat and mode instructions on page 9.)
