About Your Heat Pump (AZ95H Only)
Heat pumps can save money by removing heat from the
outside air—even when the outside temperature is below
freezing—and releasing that heat indoors.
To get the best energy performance from your heat
pump, don’t change the room thermostat by more than
one degree at one time. Raising the heat setting 2–3
degrees may cause the Zoneline to use its electric
heating elements in order to reach the new temperature
setting quickly.
The electric heating elements use more electricity than
heat pumps and cost more to operate.
There is a 3-minute minimum compressor run time at
any setting to prevent short cycling.
The fans start before the compressor and stop after the
compressor cycles off.
When the outdoor temperature is determined to be too
cold, heat is provided by the electric heater instead of by
the heat pump.
When the outdoor temperature is lower than 35°F,
cooling operation is locked out to prevent damage to the
compressor. Operation will resume when the outdoor
temperature rises above 40°F.
Temperature Control
This unit must be controlled by a Class 2 remote control
wall mounted heating and cooling thermostat. Refer to
the operating instructions of the thermostat being used
on how to control the unit.
Quick Heat Recovery
Activates each time the thermostat is switched from OFF or COOL mode to HEAT mode. Electric heaters are
energized until the thermostat set point is reached. On heat pump models, the heat pump operation will resume at
the next call for heat.
Do Not Operate the Air Conditioner (cool mode) in Freezing Outdoor Conditions
Air conditioners are not designed for use when freezing outdoor conditions exist. They must not
be used in freezing outdoor conditions.

Air Filters
NOTICE: Do not operate the Zoneline without the
filter in place. If a filter becomes torn or damaged, it
should be replaced immediately.
Operating without the filter in place or with a damaged
filter will allow dirt and dust to reach the indoor coil and
reduce the cooling/heating, performance, airflow, and
efficiency of the unit.
The most important thing you can do to maintain the
Zoneline is to change the filter at least every 30 days.
Dirty filters reduce cooling, heating performance and air
flow.
Changing the filter will: Decrease cost of operation,
save energy, prevent clogged heat exchanger coils, and
reduce the risk of premature component failure.
Replacement filters should be purchased from your local
retailer where air conditioner and furnace accessories
are sold.
Filter size for front of unit is 18” x 20” x 1”.
Filter sizes for RAVRG4 is 24” x 20”.
Filter sizes for RAVRG2B is 20” x 20”.
NOTE: Use only one filter in the installation.
To replace the filter (unit mounted return air filter):
1. Slide the filter up to clear the filter holders.
2. Remove the filter.
3. Install new disposable filter.
To maintain optimum performance, change the filter
at least every 30 days.
CARE AND CLEANING
Care and Cleaning
Drain
Clean the drain system regularly to prevent clogging.
The condensate drain must be routed to a suitable drainage area. Check the unit condensate drain periodically. Keep
it free of anything that may block or impeded the flow of condensate water. If there is any accumulation of foreign
matter in the drainpipe, it should be removed and cleaned. The entire drain line must be protected from freezing.

CARE AND CLEANINGE
Care and Cleaning
Indoor/Outdoor Coils
The Indoor/Outdoor coils on the Zoneline should be
cleaned and checked regularly.
NOTE: When cleaning the coils do not use
acid-based coil cleaners. Care must be taken to
avoid bending the aluminum fins on the coils.
Indoor-Air Coil
Minor amounts of lint and dirt may pass through the
filter and collect on the indoor-air coil. These minor
accumulations can be carefully vacuumed away
with a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner or
professionally cleaned.
Outdoor-Air Coil
The unit’s outdoor-air intake and outdoor-air exhaust
paths must remain clear. Check the outdoor-air
exhaust frequently. Keep it free of all debris, snow, or
ice. The outdoor-air intake should also be kept free
of obstructions. Blocking the outdoor-air exhaust or
outdoor-air intake opening will reduce the efficiency of
your unit and could cause premature compressor failure.
Inspection and cleaning of the outdoor-air coils may
require the unit to be removed from the case and closet.
See servicing section of this manual for instructions
on how to remove the unit. Professional cleaning is
recommended for the inside surface of the outdoor coil.
Base Pan
In some installations, dirt or other debris may be blown
into the unit from the outside and settle in the base pan
(the bottom of the unit).
In some areas of the United States, a “gel-like”
substance may be present in the base pan.
Check it periodically and clean, if necessary.
Outdoor coils
Have the coils cleaned regularly.
Turn off the Zoneline and disconnect the power supply before cleaning.

located on the access panel or closet door. A properly
rated field supplied switch is a common means for
electrical disconnection.

16 49-5000561 Rev. 1
Installation Preparation
Ductwork
Prepare the closet ductwork for later connection
to the case.
The duct system should be designed for a maximum
friction rate of .30” water column taking into
consideration all fittings, registers and/or diffusers.
DO NOT operate unit without a supply duct
attached.
The return air to the Zoneline unit MUST NOT be
ducted, and all units MUST have a free return air
configuration to perform properly.
The total flow rate (CFM) and external static pressure
(ESP) available can be estimated from the charts on
this page. Use these charts to select your fan speed
setting.
The collar on top of the unit accepts standard 10”
duct. Pull all duct tight. Extra duct slack can greatly
increase static pressure.
NOTICE: Flex duct can collapse and cause
airflow restrictions. Do not use flex duct for 90°
bends or unsupported runs of 5 ft. or more.
Indoor Air Flow Data
Indoor air flow may be determined by measuring the
external static pressure (ESP) of the duct system and
then using the chart below to determine the actual
airflow. Under no circumstances should the Zoneline
unit be operated to an ESP in excess of .3” W.C..
Operation of the Zoneline under this condition will result
in inadequate air flow thus leading to poor performance
and/or premature component failure.
Your airflow should be balanced based on many
factors, such as available ESP, room CFM, and
ductwork. Consult an HVAC engineer for proper
applications. External static pressure (ESP) can be
measured with a manometer or pitot tube. Once this
ESP is established, you can calculate the CFM using
the above chart.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Condensate Disposal System
The Condensate Disposal System increases energy efficiency utilizing a factory installed fan that slings the
condensate onto the hot outdoor coil.
When high outdoor humidity prevents the slinger from disposing of all condensate, the excess condensate
overflows into the condensate drain pan and out the 3/4” internal drain connections.
NOTE: If the condensate disposal system fails to remove all of the condensate from the unit, any
excess condensate will overflow from the drain pan into the secondary drain (if connected), and drain
outside the building. This is your indication that the chassis or drain requires servicing.
