test and reset button is provided on the plug case or
the inline case. The device should be tested on a
periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button and
then the RESET button. If the TEST button does 
not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the Zoneline and contact a
qualified service technician.

A power supply kit must be used to supply power to the
Zoneline unit. The appropriate kit is determined by the
voltage, the means of electrical connection and the
amperage of the branch circuit.

Connections of 208 or 230 volt circuits may be with a
power supply kit or a junction box kit. 

All wiring, including installation of the receptacle,
must be in accordance with the NEC and local codes,
ordinances and regulations. Local codes may require
the use of an arc fault or leakage current detection
device on the power cord. Be sure to select the
correct cord for your installation.
