Info & Guides

Description

Replacing an aging PTAC in a hotel or multi-unit building comes down to whether the new one fits the opening already in the wall. The Friedrich 9,600 BTU ZoneAire Select PTAC with Electric Heat keeps the industry-standard width, so it slides into existing openings and gives you cooling and electric heat in one chassis, plus dehumidification and a fan-only mode. You can get it in 208-230V or 265V to match your building's electrical service.

If you manage a property, you'll notice the difference in service calls. A built-in diagnostic program runs factory tests and alerts your maintenance staff to component or operating problems before they grow. The modular design opens up for quick cleaning and repairs, so you get rooms back in service sooner.

Key Features and Benefits of the Friedrich 9,600 BTU ZoneAire Select PTAC Electric Heat

  • R-32 Refrigerant: This low global warming potential refrigerant operates in ambient temperatures from 53 to 114 degrees F.
  • Electric Coil Heat: A 3.6 kW (3,650-watt) electric coil heater produces up to 12,000 BTU of heat, warming the room within minutes of switching modes.
  • Freeze Protection: In auto heat mode, the heater turns on by itself if an unoccupied room drops below 50 degrees F, so empty rooms never sit too cold.
  • Quiet Operation: Vibration isolators on the rotary compressor and fans that start on a delay hold maximum noise to 52 dB, so guests can sleep undisturbed.
  • Dual Fan Motors: Separate indoor and outdoor motors (2 in total, both permanently lubricated) let the indoor fan run slower, which cuts noise without lowering performance.
  • Even Airflow: A tangential blower wheel moves up to 390 CFM along a wide airflow path, so conditioned air spreads evenly across your room.
  • Electronic Controls: Push-button controls and an LED display set the temperature and mode, including fan-only, and adjust fan speed.
  • Thermostat Ready: A pop-out wiring module hooks up to a wall thermostat, and energy management thermostat support lets you link multiple PTACs to a central control system.
  • Temperature Limiting: You set high and low temperature limits while the PTAC checks room temperature every 9 minutes, which keeps energy use within your chosen range.
  • Corrosion Protection: Diamonblue Advanced coating on the indoor and outdoor coils, along with aluminum endplates outside, helps the PTAC hold up in harsh outdoor conditions.
  • Standard Dimensions: Measures 42 x 21.5 x 16-Inches (L x W x H) and weighs 94 pounds, matching the 42-inch width used for standard PTAC replacements.
  • cETLus Certified: Carries cETLus safety certification for the U.S. and Canada and comes with a 6-foot power cord for a 20-amp circuit.

208-230V or 265V: Choose Your Voltage

The ZoneAire Select comes in 2 voltage configurations, 208-230V and 265V, so you can match the PTAC to the wiring your building already has.

  • 208-230V Model PZE09K3SC: This model delivers up to 9,300 BTU of cooling at an 11.6 EER, meaning more cooling for every watt, and removes up to 1.7 pints of moisture per hour, which helps keep humid rooms from feeling clammy. It suits rooms up to 450 square feet. In heat mode it draws 15.9 amps, so confirm your circuit can handle that load. It uses a 6-20P plug.
  • 265V Model PZE09R3SC: This model delivers up to 9,000 BTU of cooling at an 11.5 EER for efficient cooling, and removes up to 1.1 pints of moisture per hour. It suits rooms up to 400 square feet. In heat mode it draws 13.8 amps, so confirm your circuit can handle that load. It uses a 7-20P plug.

Note: Check that your wall outlet matches the plug listed for your chosen voltage.

Sylvane's Expert Take

If you're replacing PTACs in a hotel or multi-unit building with standard 42-inch openings, the ZoneAire Select line is a good match. Choose your voltage to match your wiring, and pick 208-230V if you need more moisture removal in humid rooms. Pay the most attention to the diagnostic program and the pop-out wiring module, since one flags component problems early and the other makes thermostat hookup quick. For quiet rooms that need heating and cooling from one chassis, this Friedrich line is a strong choice.
