The Zoneline® 2900, 3900 and 5800 Series have incorporated changes suggested by customers, along with

enhancements by GE’s Technology Team and changes necessary to meet new UL and NEC requirements.

“L” shaped condenser coil.

The “Partial Open Vent Air” feature was a specific request by a customer.

“Heat Sentinel” is an enhancement developed by GE’s Technology Team to help lodging professionals welcome their guests

with a moderate-temperature room and to help lower cooling costs.

Devices have been added on cord-connected units to protect against injury from unsafe power cords.

See the “Features and Benefits” section for in-depth explanation of these changes and the industry-leading features of

GE Zoneline retained from the previous series.

The Deluxe 2900 Series Zoneline models include The “Dry Air 25” models

which remove 25% more moisture than other Zoneline models.

Deluxe Dry Air 25 Models

Cooling With Resistance Heat

• Remove 25% more moisture than other Zoneline models,

up to 2.7 additional gallons per day

• Cool and dry air in less time than standard Zoneline models

• Heat pipe is a separate sealed refrigerant system

— No mechanical parts — No special maintenance required

• Helps maintain lower relative humidity in rooms

• Maintains comfort at slightly higher room temperatures

— Reduces operating costs — Provides comfort without

overcooling

• Corrosion treatment is standard

• Excellent choice for humid climates

• Available in 7000, 9000 and 12000 BTU sizes

The Dry Air 25 system, a heat pipe, is a hermetically sealed

heat transfer surface installed in a “saddlebag” configuration

around the indoor (evaporator) coil of the Zoneline unit. This

coil arrangement will transfer heat from the front coil of the

saddlebag to the rear coil without power consumption.

This assembly uses R-22 as the refrigerant and is not

connected to the regular Zoneline refrigerant circuit.

As warm, humid air is pulled through the pre-cool (front)

section of the heat pipe, the heat removed from the air is

absorbed by the refrigerant, causing the refrigerant to change

to a gas and flow to the re-heat (rear) section of the heat

pipe. The air leaving the pre-cool section of the heat pipe is

cooler and at a higher relative humidity level than the room

air. The pre-cooled air is further cooled as it passes through

the evaporator; consequently, the relative humidity increases

allowing the evaporator coil to remove more moisture.

When the cold air from the evaporator comes in contact

with the re-heat section of the heat pipe, the heat that was

removed by the pre-cool section is added back to the air

and the refrigerant in the heat pipe condenses and flows

back to the indoor coil. The air discharged into the room

by this process is much drier, creating a more comfortable

room condition.

The Dry Air 25 models center around GE’s exclusive use of

the patented Dinh® Dehumidifier Heat Pipe from Heat Pipe

Technology, Inc. This innovative NASA spin-off technology

enables Dry Air 25 to remove 25% more moisture from the

air than other leading manufacturers’ packaged terminal air

conditioners. This helps maintain room comfort at a higher

room temperature, reducing operating costs.

The Dry Air 25 keeps a room cool and dry, and this is the

most important benefit when it comes to the occupant of

the room—hotel guests, apartment residents, students. In a

hot, humid climate, getting away from the humidity is just

as important as getting away from the heat, and the Dry Air

25 is the perfect solution. The dehumidification of the Dry

Air 25 has been verified by the same ARI test conditions that

standard units are rated under.

The Zoneline System

The typical Zoneline installation consists of the wall case (or sleeve), chassis, power cord and exterior grille. Some installations may

use a sub-base for support of the unit or for ease of electrical connections. Each of the components should be the standard

products offered by GE or, in the case of the exterior grille, approved by GE Applications Engineering. Use of components not

specifically designed or approved for use with the Zoneline unit can result in unsatisfactory operation

and can be the cause of failure not covered by the warranty.

Unit Controls

2900 and 3900 Series — touch pad controls for temperature

and operation selection.

5800 Series — touch pad controls with digital readout of

temperature set point.

Highly Featured Microprocessor Controls

Microprocessor controls are programmed to interface with

the temperature sensors to maximize comfort conditions for

the room occupant and provide outstanding features.

Thermistors are used to sense small changes in temperature

to give excellent room control and allow the microprocessor

to monitor and react to changing conditions.

Electric Resistance Heat Lock-Out

To maximize the savings of the heat pump operation, the

Zoneline heat pumps do not utilize the resistance heater

when the outdoor temperature is above 46°F during normal

operation. The resistance heat is used in the Quick Heat

Recovery feature.

Automatic Emergency Heat

Automatically uses electric resistance heat if the heat

pump output is not sufficient to maintain selected

room temperature.

Reverse Cycle Heat Pump Defrost System

Standard on all Zoneline 3900 and 5800 Series heat pumps.

Enables heat pump to operate at lower temperatures

when other systems switch to more expensive electric

resistance heat.

See pages 18 and 19 for discussion of heat pump operation

and defrost systems.

High-Temperature Heat Pump Operation Protection

Automatically protects the compressor if heat pump is

operated with high outdoor temperatures.

Power to the outdoor fan is turned off if the indoor coil gets

too hot during heat pump operation to prevent damage to

the compressor.

Quick Heat Recovery – Heat Pump Units

When the unit operation is changed from STOP or COOL to

HEAT, the electric resistance heaters are used to warm the

room to the thermostat set point. This provides faster room

temperature increase for greater guest comfort.

Unit Diagnostics

The 5800 Series has a dip switch that activates each of

the various components of the unit to operate briefly. This

enables the technician to determine if individual components

are functioning properly.

Service Indicator

On the 5800 Series, if the microprocessor detects a

compressor malfunction, the digital temperature display

will blink. If the malfunction occurs during cooling operation,

the indoor fan will continue to operate. If the compressor

malfunctions in heating mode, the unit will automatically

switch to resistance heat to maintain room temperature set

point. GE Service should be called to check the Zoneline unit.

Fan Motors – Permanently Lubricated

All units have two fan motors for quiet operation and

maximum operating efficiency.

Motors are permanently lubricated to reduce maintenance

and totally enclosed to keep dirt and water out of the motor

windings.

2-Speed Outdoor Fan

The unit automatically selects the most efficient speed for

the outdoor fan. The operating sound level is lower when the

outdoor fan can operate in low speed yet there are situations

where it must operate in high speed. The unit changes the

fan speed automatically.

Indoor Fan Speed Selections – HIGH/LOW

Unit may be operated in HIGH HEAT or LOW HEAT or HIGH

COOL or LOW COOL.

10

Features and Benefits

Fan-Only Setting – HIGH/LOW

The unit provides the option of selecting either HIGH or LOW

speed for Fan-Only operation.

Fan-Cycle Switch – “SmartFan”

Unique “SmartFan” allows unit to operate fan continuously in

cooling operation and fan cycle in heating to provide better

guest comfort. Eliminates complaint of cold air draft during

heating operation.

Eliminates need of changing fan-cycle switch seasonally.

“SmartFan” settings are controlled by two dip switches on

auxiliary control panel.

Compressor Random Restart

In the event of a power failure, all compressors attempting

to restart immediately when power is restored can result

in a power surge that can cause another power interruption.

The microprocessors in the Zoneline® units have a random

restart logic system that prevents all units from starting at

the same time.

Rotary Compressor

Smoother operation for quiet, dependable service. GE has

used rotary compressors since 1961.

Compressor Restart Delay

Zoneline units are designed to provide a minimum of three

minutes of compressor off time to allow refrigerant pressures

to equalize before restarting to prevent compressor damage.

Zoneline units are also designed to provide a minimum

of three minutes of compressor run time to prevent room

occupant disturbance due to short-cycling of the air

conditioner.

Freeze Sentinel™

Detects low room temperature and turns on heater to

help protect against damage caused by freezing room

temperature.

Heater turns on at 41°F and warms indoor thermistor

temperature to 46°F and shuts off.

Freeze Sentinel may be turned off by dip switch on

auxiliary control.

Heat Sentinel

The property owner may choose to activate the Heat Sentinel

feature on the Zoneline unit. If the Heat Sentinel is activated

and room temperature reaches 85°F while the

unit is in the “STOP” setting, the unit will automatically start

in air conditioning operation and will shut off when the room

temperature reaches 80°F. This will help dehumidify the air

and lower high temperatures so the guest will not be entering

an extremely hot room.

Indoor Coil Frost Control

Prevents indoor coil from freezing

and causing complaints due to lack

of cooling. Frost can form on the

indoor coil when the unit is operated

in cooling when outdoor temperatures

are low. The unit automatically shuts

the compressor off until the indoor coil

temperature warms to the point where

frosting will no longer occur.

Transfer Fan Interface

24 VAC terminals are provided to operate a relay to control

a fan mounted in a wall to move conditioned air into another

space. The electrical power for the operation of the transfer

fan itself is not provided by the Zoneline unit. Transfer fans

and their controlling relays are field supplied.

Electronic Temperature Limiting

Seven independent programmable heating temperature

limits and seven independent programmable cooling

temperature limits.

Remote Control Capability with Wall-Mounted

Thermostat

See pages 15–17.

Central Desk Control Capability

See page 14.

Energy Management System Interface with

Load-Shedding Option

All units have a switch on the auxiliary control panel to

allow the indoor fan to continue operating if the unit is

connected to an energy management system that shuts

off compressor or heater operation. By allowing the indoor

fan to run when the heater or compressor is shut off by the

energy management system, the guest is less likely to realize

the operation of the unit has been altered. This helps reduce

peak energy demand loads without disturbing the room

occupant.

Reversible Indoor Air Louvers

Allows air to be directed into room at 40º or 50º angle to

provide better air distribution.

Angle is changed by removing room front and screws

holding louver in place, and rotating louver section.

Greater amounts of air will be introduced if the room has an

exhaust fan.

An open vent door brings unconditioned outdoor air into the

room, increasing heating and cooling costs.

Positive vent door closure prevents accidental opening and

unwanted air infiltration.

Corrosion Protection (Optional)

2900 and 3900 Series units may be ordered with special

protection to better withstand damage from salt air and

salt water in seacoast areas.

Corrosion protection is standard on the 5800 Series and

on Dry Air 25 models.

Heat pump units with ICR are not available with corrosion

protection and should not be installed in seacoast or

corrosive environments.

Units installed in corrosive areas should be examined and

cleaned more frequently than normal installations.

Internal Condensate Removal (ICR)

See page 34 for a discussion of the Internal Condensate

Removal system available on 3900 and 5800 Series heat pumps.

Enhanced Dehumidification

Moisture removal is an important function of an air

conditioner. People are more comfortable at higher

temperatures when the humidity level is relatively low.

Air conditioners operate with less energy consumption

when the room temperatures are set higher.

The GE Zoneline 2900 Series with the Dry Air 25 heat pipe

application removes 25% more moisture than the base

2900 Series unit.

The GE Zoneline Dry Air 25 chassis is the only PTAC available

with the application of the patented Dinh® Dehumidifier

Heat Pipe under license from Heat Pipe Technology, Inc.

Customers who are using the Dry Air 25 report a fresher-

smelling room as a result of the lower humidity levels, as

well as lower operating costs.

Central Desk Control

Some installations may want to govern the ability of the unit

to operate from a control device remote to the unit or even

remote to the room in which the unit is located. The general

term given to systems such as this is Central Desk Control.

The most common installation of this type of system is a

switch mounted at the registration desk and, upon guest

check-in, a button is pushed or a switch is moved to allow

the air conditioner to operate. Likewise, when the guest

checks out the device is put into the “OFF” position so the

unit will not operate while the room is vacant.

It is not necessary that the controlling device be located

at a central desk to employ a device that will control the

unit operation. For instance, in some resort areas devices

are connected to sliding glass doors and opening the door

causes a contact to close, turning the air conditioner off.

This prevents energy being wasted by operating the air

conditioner when warm, humid air is entering the room.

Some systems operate by motion sensors or heat-sensing

detectors mounted in the room. These types of systems

determine occupant presence in the room and allow the

unit to operate; if no one is in the room the device signals

the air conditioner to turn off.

Zoneline® models offer load-shedding capabilities on units

connected to Central Desk Control systems. For more

information on the models’ load-shedding feature, see

page 10.

There is a wide variety of devices available, each with

its own benefits and constraints. While GE does not offer

components that are external to the unit for a Central Desk

Control (CDC) system, GE Zoneline units are compatible with

most CDC and energy management systems. Zoneline units

provide a 24 VAC circuit that powers the Central Desk Control

system and no external power is needed.

All Zoneline 2900, 3900, and 5800 Series units are compatible

with simple on/off 2-wire Central Desk Control systems.

Consult with the provider of other energy management

systems to be sure they are compatible with GE Zoneline

units. Zoneline units have standard connectors factory-

installed to provide a CDC interface that permits the unit to

be connected to most of the energy management systems.

The devices connected to the Zoneline units require no power

supply or transformers external to the unit.

Important CDC Comments (all series applicable)

1. When the switching device closes the circuit of the CDC

conductors, the unit operation stops.

2. Do not use a common bus (at the unit or at the switch

panel) in the wiring. Both wires comprising the circuit must

connect to the unit connectors and to the controlling

switch. Running one wire from one unit to another unit is

common busing and may damage internal components or

cause erratic operation of the system.

3. A 24-volt transformer is contained within the Zoneline unit.

No external voltage may be applied to the unit through

the CDC terminals. (Voltage on the CDC conductors is

24 volts AC.)

4. Recommended wire size must be followed as a minimum

requirement.

Wire Size #AWG Maximum Allowable Length

#22 600 Ft.

#20 900 Ft.

#18 1500 Ft.

#16 2000 Ft.

Freeze Sentinel™ remains operational when the unit is

connected to a CDC system. Even if the unit is turned “OFF” at

the central location, if the sensor at the unit detects the low

temperature, the electric resistance heaters and the fan will

automatically turn on.

Connecting the Zoneline unit to a CDC system does not

eliminate the ability to connect the unit to a remote

thermostat.

Once the circuit is “opened,” and control of the unit removed

from the CDC system, the selected controls—either the unit—

mounted control or the remote thermostat—govern the

operation of the unit.

Please see page 57 for installation recommendations for

the Central Desk Control wiring.

The fan speed for the 2900 Series in remote thermostat

operation is selected by the connection of the fan wire from

the thermostat to either the HIGH or LOW terminal on the unit.

See the sketch of the unit terminals for the location of the HIGH

and LOW fan-speed terminals. Operating the unit in low fan

speed reduces the operating sound level of the unit.

Freeze Sentinel™ remains operational if the unit is connected to

a remote thermostat. The unit may be connected to a Central

Desk Control (CDC) system and controlled with a remote

thermostat when the CDC system has the unit in operation.

Remote Thermostat Control

In some installations, control of the operation of the unit at

a location remote from the unit itself may be desired. A unit

mounted high in the wall or over a door, for instance, where

the unit-mounted controls are inaccessible, can be connected

to a wall-mounted thermostat. Other installations may use

remote thermostat control for design or performance

enhancement. The unit is connected to the thermostat by

low-voltage wiring which permits the operation of the unit to

be selected and the temperature sensed at the thermostat.

Important Notes: Remote thermostat wiring should not be

run through wall case. Thermostat wiring should exit the

wall below the unit and enter the unit between room cabinet

and chassis. Wire molding may be used to hide thermostat

wiring. If a sub-base is used, the thermostat wiring may be

concealed by the sub-base. Thermostat wiring should not be

run parallel to line voltage wires since induced current may

cause erratic operation.

All Zoneline 2900, 3900 and 5800 Series units are adaptable

to Class 2 remote low-voltage thermostat. The only additional

field-supplied components are the remote thermostat and

wiring necessary to connect it.

The controls on the unit are not functional when the remote

control function is used.

Resistance Heat Models

The Zoneline 2900 resistance heat units may be connected to

a single-stage thermostat designed for use with cooling with

electric heat systems. GE offers three thermostats

The control voltage on the remote control conductors is 24 VAC.

The Class 2 Mode Switch, dip switch #4 on the auxiliary control

board on both the 3900 Series and the 5800 Series, must be set

to the ON/UP mode to enable remote thermostat control. Refer

to installation instructions packaged with the chassis.

The fan speed for the 3900 and 5800 Series in remote

thermostat operation is selected by the connection of the

fan wire from the thermostat to either the HIGH or LOW

terminal on the unit. See the sketch of the unit terminals

for the location of the HIGH and LOW fan speed terminals.

Operating the unit in low fan speed reduces the operating

sound level of the unit.

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.

Temperature Boost option should not be used with remote

thermostat operation since this will cause the unit to switch

Heat Pumps and Energy Savings

• GE Zoneline® heat pumps are designed to provide

cost-efficient heat pump operation while monitoring

room conditions to maintain comfort.

The units employ a logic system monitoring both outdoor

and indoor temperatures to determine the heat source, thus

increasing energy savings by operating longer in the heat

pump mode.

Heat pumps save energy and cost less to operate than

units with electric resistance heaters as the only heat source.

Just as the EER of an air conditioner is an indication of the

efficiency of the unit, COP (Coefficient of Performance) is the

indication of the efficiency of the heat pump. This relative

efficiency of a heat pump compares the unit to electric

resistance heat. If a unit has a COP of 3.0, it means the

unit will produce three times as much heat at rating

conditions for the same electrical input wattage used

for electric resistance heat.

The compressor is used in heat pump operation just as

in air conditioning operation. In heat pump operation,

the hot refrigerant gas is directed to the indoor coil rather

than to the outdoor coil. Room air that circulates over the

indoor coil gains heat from the coil rather than losing heat

to the coil as during cooling operation.

As the outdoor temperature falls, the heat pump is able to

extract less heat from the outdoor air to raise the temperature

of the indoor air. For this reason, all packaged terminal heat

pumps also have electric resistance heaters as backup to heat

pump operation. At some point, the heat pump is unable to

provide sufficient heat to adequately warm the room. Many

Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps cease heat pump operation

and change to more expensive resistance heat at some

pre-determined outdoor temperature to compensate for

the inability of the heat pump to maintain room temperature.

This point, called the “switchover point,” is usually at an

outdoor temperature where savings from heat pump

operation may still be realized, if the unit is designed to

maintain room comfort at the lower outdoor temperatures.

Balance Point

An important consideration in the selection of a heat pump

unit is the “balance point” of the installation. Virtually every

room is unique—with different insulation, different sizes

and types of windows, different types of construction,

different directional exposures. All these variables, as well

as geographical location, must be considered in order to

determine the balance point, the point at which the heat pump

is unable to produce enough heat to compensate for the heat

loss of the room or area being heated. For these reasons a

consulting engineer should be engaged to calculate the heat

loss and specify the heat pump unit required.

GE offers two series of Zoneline heat pump units—the 3900

Series with standard microprocessor controls and the 5800

Series with highly featured microprocessor controls—and

both series react to the indoor temperature as well as the

outdoor temperature in determining the heat source to

provide comfortable room conditions and energy savings.

This determination of the heat source based on the indoor

temperature helps provide a more comfortable room.

Heat Pumps and Energy Savings

Heat Pump Operation —

Zoneline 3900 and 5800 Series

Heat sources: Heat pump, heat pump and simultaneous

electric resistance heat or electric resistance heat.

Zoneline heat pumps employ a highly featured microprocessor

control system interfaced with thermistors to accurately

measure indoor air temperature, outdoor air temperature,

indoor coil temperature and outdoor coil temperature. This

system allows the microprocessor to precisely and predictably

react to changing conditions in order to provide a very

advanced packaged terminal heat pump operating system.

The Zoneline heat pumps are designed to help ensure a

comfortable room. When “HEAT” is selected, the unit will

determine if the room air is warm enough to satisfy the

thermostat setting. If the temperature at the unit sensor

is below the desired temperature, the electric resistance

heater will be utilized to warm the room to the point where

the thermostat is satisfied. This feature is designed to allow

the temperature of an unoccupied room to be maintained

at an energy-saving level without inconveniencing the room

occupant. Once the thermostat has been satisfied, the

resistance heater will turn off and the heat pump will operate

as shown in the Heat Source Logic chart until the thermostat

calls for heat again. The unit will operate in this manner even

if connected to a Central Desk Control.

* If the “Temperature Boost” switch (dip switch #8) is in

the “ON” position the supplemental simultaneous heater

will be used with heat pump operation. Simultaneous

supplemental heater: 1.0 KW @ 230 V; 0.8 KW @ 208V; 1.0

KW @ 265V.

The “Temperature Boost” option utilizes the supplemental

simultaneous heater at the same time as heat pump

operation when the outdoor temperature is below 46°F

regardless of the indoor air temperature. The chart above

indicates the heat source of the heat pump under various

indoor and outdoor conditions. The unit is designed to

provide heat pump savings without sacrificing room comfort.

The Quick Heat Recovery feature is not affected by the Heat

Source Logic shown in the chart below. For more information

about the Quick Heat Recovery Feature, see page 9. The

full heat output of the resistance heater is dependent upon

circuit amperage and the power connection kit used. See

pages 3 and 42–43 for information on power connection kits

and available heater capacities.

A heat pump switch is provided in the auxiliary controls to

allow the unit to operate only in resistance heat. The use of

this option significantly increases the cost for heating.

Heat pump defrost — Zoneline 3900 and 5800 Series

Zoneline heat pumps utilize a reverse-cycle demand defrost

system to extend heat pump operation and increase

savings from extended operation. The microprocessor

determines the need for defrosting by criteria based

on continuous compressor running time, outdoor air

temperature, outdoor coil temperature and the rate of

temperature change of the outdoor coil. When defrosting

is required, the unit reverses the flow of refrigerant to direct

the hot gas into the outdoor coil to melt the frost buildup.

Before and after the reverse-cycle defrosting, the unit shuts

off the compressor to allow the refrigerant pressures to

equalize throughout the system. This eliminates the possibility

of a loud reversing noise. During these periods

of pressure equalization, the full resistance heat capacity

of the unit is activated to help ensure room comfort

conditions during the defrost cycle. The unit remains in

the defrost cycle for a minimum of two minutes up to a

maximum of nine minutes. The defrost cycle terminates

when the outdoor coil reaches a temperature of 68°F or the

maximum time has been reached.

Heat pump condensate

See page 34 for information on heat pump condensate.

The Zoneline 3900 Series heat pumps may be ordered with

a factory-installed Internal Condensate Removal (ICR) system

to minimize the amount of condensate water draining from

the unit during heat pump operation. The ICR system has

proven to be an effective means of minimizing the amount of

heat pump condensate dripping from the unit. However, if the

requirements of a particular installation will allow no dripping

of condensate water from the wall case, the installation of an

internal or external drain system is recommended.

Units with ICR may not be installed in seacoast or corrosive

environment applications.

OVER40FT.

CORRECT

High Wall Mount — For units

mounted high in the wall, the

discharge louvers should be

at a setting that provides the

most horizontal air discharge.

Recommended installation is

at least 3" below the ceiling. In

installations where units are close to the ceiling, the greatest

horizontal discharge angle can be obtained by removing

the discharge grille from the room cabinet.

Supply Air Throw — One Zoneline unit should not be required

to do a job obviously requiring two or more units. Units

should be located around large rooms according to

calculated loads or in such fashion as to achieve balanced

air distribution in all parts of the room. The single unit in

the “Incorrect” illustration below obviously cannot condition

the entire room. Add a second unit as shown in the

“Correct” illustration.

Application Comments

Use and Care Manual and installation instructions are

shipped with Zoneline® units. It is important that any air

conditioning system be properly sized and applied in order

to achieve the desired temperature and humidity levels in

the space to be conditioned. Air conditioners are designed

primarily to provide heating and cooling with the additional

benefit that during operation in the cooling mode, the units

also remove some moisture from the conditioned space.

The following are some brief application comments on

undersizing, oversizing, heating, wall coverings, and air

infiltration: all are important in the proper matching of the

heating/air conditioning system to the building structure.

Undersizing: If an air conditioner is undersized (cooling

capacity is less than required for a specific application), the

unit will typically not be able to cool the space down to the

desired temperature (thermostat set point), nor be able to

remove enough moisture from the air. A result could be a

warm and humid or warm and dry conditioned space.

Oversizing: If an air conditioner is oversized (cooling capacity

is greater than required for the specific application), the unit

will typically cool the space down to the desired temperature

(thermostat set point) too quickly. The compressor then

begins to cycle on and off. Dehumidification only takes place

when the compressor is operating. A typical result in a hot/

humid climate could be a cool but excessively humid space.

Heating: Undersizing can result in not being able to maintain

the desired temperature level within the conditioned space.

Wall Covering: Use of a non-permeable wall covering (some

paints, some wallpapers, and other types of coverings) which

severely restricts passage of air or water vapor can cause a

severe moisture problem. Typical results could be staining of

room surfaces, wall damage, as well as mold and mildew

growth in hot/humid climates.

Air Infiltration: Excessive air infiltration can magnify

problems associated with undersizing or oversizing of an

air conditioner unit and can be the root cause of insufficient

cooling, dehumidification, or heating. Some sources of air

infiltration include vents, gaps around windows and doors,

and improperly sealed floor, ceiling and wall joints.

Recommendation: For the above reasons it is strongly

recommended that a professional engineer be retained

to match the Zoneline unit with the building structure.

Air Distribution

Zoneline packaged terminal air conditioners and heat pumps

discharge air from the top of the unit through reversible

two-position discharge louvers. Unit discharge louvers are

reversed by removing the room cabinet from the unit,

removing seven screws that hold the louver section in

place, removing the louver section and rotating it end for

end, reinstalling the louver section in the room cabinet with

the seven screws, and reinstalling the room cabinet on the

unit. The unit is shipped from the factory with the discharge

louvers at an angle of 50° off vertical. In the alternate

position, the louvers will be at an angle of 40° off vertical.

All room cabinets return air through the front of the unit.

gauge galvanized steel and finished with a baked-enamel

finish for protection and appearance. Design of the case

provides for support of the chassis and free draining of any

water entering the wall case. A petroleum microcrystalline

wax is applied at critical points of fabrication to seal against

moisture. The dimensions of the RAB71 wall case are 42"

wide by 16" high by 13-3/4" deep, the same dimensions as

the original wall case for GE Zoneline units built in 1961. The

RAB71 wall case is also available in depths other than the

standard depth. It is available on special order as: RAB7116

– 16" deep; RAB7124 – 24" deep; RAB7128 – 28" deep; and

RAB7131 – 31" deep. All these special-order deep wall cases

are insulated and have sheet-metal dividers, or splitters, to

prevent the recirculation of condenser discharge air.

RAB77 — This non-insulated wall case is molded from

fiberglass-reinforced polyester compound. This SMC

(Sheet-Molded Compound) wall case offers outstanding

strength, durability, color retention, water integrity and

corrosion resistance. The dimensions of the RAB77 wall

case are 42-1/8" wide by 16-1/4" high by 13-7/8" deep.

• Both wall cases are of universal design, accepting all

Zoneline chassis of current design as well as all GE Zoneline

chassis produced since 1961.

• Drain holes are provided in the rear of the wall case to

permit excessive cooling condensate water, heat pump

condensate or precipitation entering the wall case to drain

freely. A drain kit may be connected to the wall case to

control any water draining from the wall case. See page

35 for information on RAD10 Drain Kit.

RAK901L — For installations where the wall case extends into

room, RAK901L is an insulation kit that can be used with the

RAB77 or any existing non-insulated wall case to minimize

the possibility of condensation forming on the indoor side of

the case during the winter.

Sub-Base

The sub-base is an optional accessory for the Zoneline unit

and is presented with the wall case information since the

decision to use or not use a sub-base in the installation

is a factor in the location of the wall opening for the unit.

National Electrical Code® requires that air conditioning units

connected to voltages in excess of 250 volts be “permanently

connected.” There are also some installations where units

connected to voltage sources under 250 volts may also

need to be “permanently connected.” If you are in doubt

about the requirements for a particular installation, consult

Article 440 of the NEC or the local electrical inspector. These

requirements are designed to protect personal safety and

should be strictly followed. Although NEC is cited here as a

reference, all electrical wiring and installations must conform

to any and all local electrical codes and regulations.

“Permanent connection” generally means wiring to the unit

must be contained in an enclosed “chaseway,” where access

to the wiring connections is more restrictive than a normal

line cord plugged into a receptacle. NEC requirements may

be met by using flexible or rigid conduit to contain the wiring

between the unit and a junction box that contains the wiring

connections. The conduit is connected to the unit and to the

junction box with connectors to hold the conduit in place.

The junction box may be located in the floor or the wall of the

structure but only approved connectors may be used outside

the unit or the junction box. The sub-base is UL® listed as a

junction box for permanent connection of a Zoneline unit.

Using a sub-base in an installation requiring permanent

connection provides a convenient, consistent location for

unit wiring to be connected to building wiring. The use of

a sub-base is not required, but the convenience and the

improved aesthetics it offers makes the use of a sub-base

a viable means of permanent connection.

RAK204U — The RAK204U Series of sub-bases provides a

variety of designs that fit the site needs and are available

for use with Zoneline PTAC/PTHP units. The RAK204U will

most likely be used for support of the wall case and unit.

The RAK204U is the same physically as the other sub-bases

except there is no receptacle installed. Receptacles and

wiring can be field installed and, by using the RAK205CW

chaseway and the RAK4002 junction box perform the same

function as any of the other sub-base kits by selecting the

correct receptacle and installing it in the interior mounting

plate inside the RAK204U.

208/230-volt receptacles can also be mounted in the cover

plate for easy access when direct connect wiring is not

required. 265-volt units are to be “Permanently (or Direct)

Connected” and the external receptacle (when wiring is not

enclosed in a chaseway) does not meet this requirement.

A knockout for a fuseholder or a disconnect is also provided

in the cover plate.

RAK204U — No receptacle, no wiring; will accept any

15-, 20-, 30-amp receptacle and wiring. No chaseway is

included. RAK205CW chaseway must be ordered separately.

The 230/208-volt sub-bases below include a short,

sub-base power connection kit. Since sub-base connected

units are not considered to be line-cord connected, a

Leakage Current Detection and Interruption or Arc Fault

Current Interrupter device is not necessary.

The junction box (RAK4002A for 2900 and 3900 Series

units; RAK4002B for 5800 Series units) that mounts on

the chassis of 230/208-volt sub-base connected units

must be purchased separately.

RAK204D15P 208/230-volt 15-amp receptacle. Receptacle

is NEMA6-20R with 18" of #12AWG wires attached to

the receptacle. Short power connection kit included.

The junction box (RAK4002A for 2900 and 3900 Series

units; RAK4002B for 5800 Series units) that mounts on the

chassis of 230/208 volt sub-base connected units must be

purchased separately.

Sub-bases for the 265-volt units:

RAK204E15 265-volt 15-amp receptacle. Receptacle is

NEMA7-15R with 18" of #12AWG wires attached to the

receptacle. Chaseway included.

RAK204E30 265-volt 30-amp receptacle. Receptacle is

NEMA7-30R with 18" of #12AWG wires attached to the

receptacle. Chaseway included.

The junction box for 265-volt units is shipped with the

chassis since all 265-volt units are to be “permanently

(or direct) connected.”

The power connection kit is not included

There are separate internal compartments to permit

separation of low-voltage (Class 2) connections from line-

voltage connections as required by NEC. Conduit containing

building wiring enters the sub-base through knockouts

located in the rear or bottom of the sub-base and is not

accessible when the wall case is installed.

The sub-base attaches to the RAB71 wall case with two clips

(field-assembled) that are screwed into pre-drilled holes in the

bottom front flange of the wall case. It attaches to the RAB77

wall case with clips that fit over molded ribs without requiring

the use of screws into the wall case. See page 33 for illustration.

Since the sub-base extends under the wall case, clearance

from the inner edge of the wall case to the finished wall must

be 2-3/8" or greater. The sub-base has four leveling legs and

adjustable side channels to enable the area under the wall

case to be enclosed. Clearance from the bottom edge of the

wall case to the finished floor must be between 3" and 5".

The sub-base may be used as support for the chassis and

wall case in installations where the wall is of insufficient

thickness to provide secure mounting of the wall case.

Wall Case Installation Data

General

Generally, Zoneline units are installed 3" to 5" above the

floor (flush to finished floor installation is possible) as near

to the center of the room as possible; underneath a window

or a glass panel is typical. Normal installation of the wall

case allows installation flexibility; from flush with the

finished interior wall to a minimum of 1/4" of the wall case

extending beyond the finished exterior of the building. Special

consideration must be given to installations where the wall

case does not extend a minimum of 1/4" beyond the finished

exterior wall. See pages 30 and 31 for information on this type

of installation. The unit may be installed high in the wall and

these installations usually require a remote thermostat and

are discussed on pages 15 and 16.

Regardless of the installation, there are several things to

consider when selecting a location for installing the unit.

For instance, drapery location could interfere with air

discharge, and placement of furniture may have an impact

on the performance of the unit. The following information

is intended to minimize installation problems and assure

you of trouble-free installation.

Refer to page 21 for required wall opening dimensions.

Minimum recommended interior and exterior case projections

for standard wall thicknesses are shown in the drawings in

this manual. The case may be installed flush with the finished

indoor wall. Special attention must be paid to room-side case

projection when the unit is installed in a ducted application

as shown on pages 38 and 39.

In walls thicker than 13-1/2" for line-cord-connected units

and 11-1/8" for sub-base installations, it may be necessary

to install a field-fabricated case extension or use one of the

special- order RAB71 deep wall cases. Such extension must

be carefully flashed and sealed both to the wall case and to

the wall to ensure water integrity. This is necessary to ensure

that any water entering the wall case, either from operation

of the unit or from other sources, such as rain storms or from

washing the exterior of the building, will drain from the case

without the possibility of capillary action drawing the water

into either the room or the wall cavity. In an installation where

the case is recessed less than 3" from the outside surface,

flashing and sealing may be all the modification necessary.

In such an installation, the sides and top of the wall opening

must be waterproof to prevent moisture from seeping into

and damaging the walls. See pages 30 and 31 for suggested

detail. Since the installation of a case extension requires a

considerable amount of attention, we recommend using one

of the deep wall cases if the standard case is not of sufficient

depth.

Mounting an outdoor grille or louver section to the building

face may cause a space between the outdoor coil and the

louver section. Air splitters, aligned with the ends of the

outdoor coil, must be installed between the outdoor coil inlet

and outlet air streams. Gaps between the outdoor coil and

the louver section may allow condenser air recirculation and

affect the operation of the unit. See page 41 for requirements

for custom louvers.

The wall case should be level from side to side and

from level to 1/4 bubble tilt to the outdoors. The

condensate disposal system in the unit is designed

to dissipate the condensate water generated

during cooling operation in accordance with ARI

standards and actually uses this water for maximum

unit efficiency. A level unit will also ensure proper

performance of the Internal Condensate Removal (ICR)

system optional on heat pump units.

24

Wall Case Installation Data (Continued)

For new construction, early planning with the architect is

necessary. Unit location, electrical connection locations and

wall openings of the proper dimensions are essential to avoid

the necessity of rework, fillers, framing, moving electrical

outlets and other expensive modifications.

For existing construction it is important that carpentry,

masonry and electrical work be performed by competent,

qualified personnel. Since installations in existing construction

may involve removal of building material from the structure,

locating the wall case must be done correctly.

Architectural Window/

Louver Installation

Many installations utilize an architectural window/louver

combination to enhance the exterior appearance of the

building. The exterior grille for the air conditioner is built

as an integral part of the window frame. An internal drain

system is highly recommended for these installations (see

page 36). When this type of installation is made, there must

be provision in the grille work for condensate water to drain

to the exterior and not be routed back into the interior of

the building or into the wall cavity. Failure to allow for the

drainage of condensate water can cause extensive damage

to structural components. The problems associated with the

lack of condensate drain consideration often show up shortly

after the air conditioners are turned on in a new building.

New buildings that have been virtually wide-open during

construction have a significant amount of moisture in the air

and in the building components that the air conditioners start

removing as they operate. The free area in the louver section

must also comply with the requirements shown on page 41.

The wall case should be anchored to the architectural

window/louver section to reduce air infiltration and

excessive vibration of the chassis and wall case during unit

operation. Field-fabricated and installed case angles are

the recommended method of securing the wall case to the

window/louver framework.

Window, Curtain and Panel

Wall Construction

With this type of construction, provision for support of the

unit, other than by the wall itself, is often required. Such

support may be in the form of wood or metallic material of

the proper thickness to maintain a level case. This additional

support should be located both near the wall and at the front

of the wall case. Sub-base (RAK204 Series) with four leveling

legs provides an excellent support for the unit in this type of

installation. See page 28 for details of this type of installation.

In existing construction, common practice is to remove a

pane of glass, metal, wood, or other construction material

and build a frame around the wall case. Similar filler panel

material may be installed around the case for appearance

and weather seal.

Masonry Wall Construction

The wall case should be installed during construction and

lintels should be used to support the blocks above the wall

case. The wall case will not support the concrete block.

The installation instructions show how the wall case must

be secured to the masonry and caulked. Do not remove the

cardboard stiffener supplied with the wall case until ready

to install the chassis. See page 29 for details of installation

in masonry wall.

For existing masonry construction, wall openings must be

made by removing concrete blocks to achieve the proper-

size opening. Consult the builder, architect or owner to

determine the necessity for lintels to support the block

above the wall case.

Anchor bolts are normally required to secure the case to

the wall and shims may be required to prevent distortion of

the wall case when securing the wall case to the wall. Field-

supplied case angles can be used to position and secure the

wall case to the wall and to cover oversized wall openings.

Brick, Frame, Stucco and

Shingle Construction

For new construction, the opening for the wall case should

be framed and the wall case inserted into the opening during

construction. Lintels should be used when the building

material is heavy and is not self-supporting (such as brick).

The wall case will fit an opening of six courses of standard

brick or five courses of jumbo brick. Wall framing in this

type construction is normally on 16" centers and the wall

case will fit a framed opening spanning three 16" O.C. 2" x 4"

stud spaces.

For existing construction, the indoor and outdoor wall will

need to be cut out, allowing for clearances of 1/8" on all sides

of the wall case. Work should begin on the inside wall. Cut the

correct dimensions and mark (using drill holes) the outside

wall from each corner of the inside cutout. Studding that

interferes with the opening must be removed and a suitable

frame constructed to secure the wall case and provide

adequate support for case and chassis.

As shipped, the RAB71 Series or RAB77 is ready for

installation.

25

geappliances.com

Do not remove the stiffener from inside the wall case or the

weather closure panel from the outside face of the wall case

until the outdoor grille and chassis are ready to be installed.

Installation of Wall Case in Wall Opening

1. Position the wall case into the wall. The room-side edge of

the RAB71 or RAB77 wall case should be at least flush with

the finished wall for line-cord installations and permanent-

connection installations when no sub-base is used, and

should project into the room at least 2-3/8" when a sub-

base is used. If the minimum exterior dimensions are not

met, refer to pages 27 and 28. The outside edge of the wall

case should extend at least 1/4" beyond the outside wall.

This is necessary for proper caulking, to prevent sealing

the drain holes in the rear flange of the wall case, and to

facilitate the installation of an accessory drain, if used.

The wall case should be level from side to side and

from level to 1/4 bubble tilt to the outdoors. The

condensate disposal system in the unit is designed

to dissipate the condensate water generated

during cooling operation in accordance with ARI

standards and actually uses this water for maximum

unit efficiency. A level unit will also ensure proper

performance of the Internal Condensate Removal

(ICR) system optional on heat pump units.

2. The wall case should be secured to the wall at both sides.

Use a minimum of two screws or other fastening device

on each side. See Figure 2 on page 26. Mark the wall case

on each side 2" from the bottom and 2" from the top at a

point where basic wall structure is located. Drill wall case

and use fasteners appropriate for wall construction. All

holes for fasteners in the side of the wall case must be at

least 2" up from the bottom of the wall case. Never locate

screws or put other holes in the bottom of the wall case.

The only exception is when an RAD10 drain kit is installed

to connect to an internal drain system. See page 36 for

RAD10 drain kit information.

If the wall opening is greater than the case dimensions,

spacers must be used on the sides between the wall case

and the wall support structure to prevent distorting the

wall case.

3. Caulk or gasket the entire opening on the outside between

the wall case and exterior wall surface (four sides) to

provide total water and air seal.

4. Caulk or gasket room-side opening between wall case

and interior wall surface (four sides). Opening beneath or

around the wall case can allow outdoor air to leak into the

room, resulting in increased operating costs and improper

room temperature control.

Care should be taken in location of electrical supply entry

in relationship to wall sleeve to assure access to receptacle

or junction box once unit is installed.

• Refer to page 43 for maximum power cord length.

• Permanently connected units close to finished floor must

allow for conduit clearance.

Case Angles

In some installations, such as curtain walls, window walls,

or where the structural material of the wall is insufficient

to support or fasten wall case to, case angles may be used.

Case angles are pieces of steel or other material of similar

structural strength that are formed to a 90° angle, with holes

to fasten the case angle to the wall case and to the

structural component of the wall surrounding the wall case.

The following describes the procedure when field-fabricated

and -installed case angles are applied.

1. Position case angles around top and sides of wall case

at the desired location. Position case angles vertically on

each side of wall case to provide a level installation.

2. Mark wall case through holes in case angles. The lowest

hole on the sides of the wall case must be a minimum of

2" above the bottom of the case.

3. For RAB71 wall case drill 5/32" -diameter holes at locations

marked on wall case in Step 2, and assemble angles to

wall case using #10 x 1/2" self-tapping screws. For RAB77

wall case follow the same procedure except use a #10 x

1/2" bolt, washer and nut to attach case angles to case.

Install screws or bolts from outside wall case.

4. Do not drill any holes in bottom of wall case. Do not distort

wall case.

5. Do not use case angles for a lintel.

SPLITTER BETWEEN

AIR INTAKE AND

DISCHARGE

Zoneline units can be installed in walls of greater depth

than the wall case. Where the case recession is less than

3" and where it is possible to waterproof the exposed

sides and top of the opening, the suggested procedure

is to apply a flashing to the bottom of the wall case as

shown on page 31. Where waterproofing is questionable

or not possible, or for installations in walls of greater

depth, the following is a suggested application

procedure. It involves the field fabrication of a case

extension. Since the wall case is a water-bearing

container, the extension likewise must also be water-

bearing and the connection between the two must be

watertight. The case extension must contain splitters

to prevent recirculation of the outdoor air circuit.

1. The case extension is field fabricated. The extension

depth “D” should allow for a minimum outdoor

projection of 1/4". This allows for room cabinet

clearance to the finished wall and ample surfaces

to apply sealant or caulking for a tight weather seal

between the completed wall case/extension assembly

and the wall opening. It is recommended that the

extension be painted and corner and lap joints be

additionally sealed with a quality-grade sealant.

2. The wall case and extension should be connected

prior to installation in the wall opening. A quality-

grade sealant should be applied to all four (4) butting

flanges. Use bolts and nuts or oversized self-tapping

screws (driven from the wall case to the extension)

to attach the two assemblies. Clean all drain holes of

excess sealant. The assembly must be free draining.

3. Install flashing, using a quality-grade sealant between

the flashing and wall as shown in section A-A below.

4. Install the wall case/extension assembly following

procedures described for a standard installation. See

diagrams below. The assembly should be sealed or

caulked to the wall around all four sides both outdoors

and indoors.

NOTE: The wall case/extension assembly should

be level.

5. Suggested materials for case extension and flashing

should be non-ferrous metals. Minimal acceptable

material: Galvanized G-90 painted.

Condensate Disposal Systems

Cooling Condensate

Air conditioners produce condensate water as a result of

lowering the humidity of the area being conditioned. When

the indoor coil temperature is below the dew point, moisture

in the air condenses into water droplets on the coil. This water

drains to a pan located under the indoor coil and is routed

through the barrier, the partition separating the indoor and

outdoor sides of the unit, to the base pan on the outdoor side.

It is then picked up and dispersed against the outdoor coil,

which is hot when the unit is in the air conditioning mode.

The water is evaporated into the atmosphere by contact

with the hot outdoor coil. This evaporation process also helps

lower the temperature of the outdoor coil and improves the

operating efficiency of the unit.

Slinger Ring Systems

Packaged terminal units employ various means of dispersing

the condensate water. One of the most popular, and most

effective, means is by the use of a “slinger ring.” A slinger

ring is a ring around the circumference of the outdoor fan.

The design of the unit positions the slinger ring very close to

the bottom of the base pan so water in the base pan is lifted

by the rotating ring. Water picked up by the slinger ring will

be dispersed into the air stream and deposited on the hot

outdoor coil where it evaporates.

All Zoneline® Series packaged terminal air conditioners

and packaged terminal heat pumps utilize a slinger ring

for cooling condensate disposal.

Certification Test Requirements

ARI (Air Conditioning & Refrigerating Institute) requires that all

certified packaged terminal air conditioners and packaged

terminal heat pumps pass a cooling condensate disposal

test. One stipulation of the ARI test is that “the test start with

condensate collection pan brimful.” In order to pass the ARI

Condensate Disposal Test the unit must operate continuously

for four hours without condensed water blowing, dripping,

or running off the unit casing during the test or after the

unit has been turned off. Under extremely high outdoor

humidity conditions or extreme operating conditions, such

as exceptionally high air infiltration (a door or window left

open while the unit is running, for instance) it is possible for

any air conditioner to be unable to dissipate all the cooling

condensate generated.

All Zoneline Series packaged terminal air conditioners

and packaged terminal heat pumps meet the condensate

disposal requirements of ARI standards 310-93 and 380-93.

Heat Pump Condensate

During the operation of a unit in the heat pump, or “reverse

cycle,” mode the outdoor coil becomes the cold coil and the

indoor coil becomes the hot coil due to reversing the flow of

the refrigerant. When the temperature of the outdoor coil is

below the dew point, condensation will form on the outdoor

coil just as it does on the indoor coil during cooling operation.

Since the dew point is humidity- as well as temperature-

related, there may be more condensate on days when the

relative humidity is high.

Heat Pump Condensate Disposal

Since the outdoor coil is cold during heat pump operation, the

condensate water cannot be deposited on the outdoor coil

as the water would cause frost to form on the coil. This frost

would block the airflow through the coil and greatly reduce the

outdoor air. Rather than allow this problem to occur, heat pump

units must dispose of the condensate in another manner.

Temperature-Activated Drain Valve

The most widely used method of

disposing of heat pump condensate

is with a temperature-activated drain

valve. This is a device mounted in the

base pan of a heat pump unit with a

bellows that expands on temperature

rise and contracts with temperature

drop. A shaft with a rubber plug on the

end is connected to the bellows. When

the outdoor temperature remains

above a certain temperature, the bellows is expanded and

the plug fits tightly into a hole in the bottom, or base pan, of

the unit. When the plug is blocking the hole, as it should be

during cooling operation, the condensate water is contained

in the base pan. At temperatures when heating is required,

the bellows contracts, the rubber plug is retracted from the

hole and the heat pump condensate water is allowed to drain

into the wall case. The valve is fully open at 45°F.

Drain Kits

Although the Zoneline units are designed to dissipate all

the condensate generated during normal cooling operation,

there may be times when abnormal operating conditions

cause more condensate than the unit can dissipate. Heat

pumps also generate condensate that the unit may not

be designed to dissipate. For these reasons, if condensate

dripping from the wall case is objectionable, an internal or

external drain system should be installed. See pages 35 and

36 for information covering the drain systems and the RAD10

kit available to connect to the wall case.

Internal Condensate Removal (ICR) System

GE has developed an Internal Condensate Removal (ICR)

system for packaged terminal heat pumps. This system has

been offered as an option on Zoneline packaged terminal

Heat Pumps since 1982, and thousands of them are in use.

During heat pump operation the ICR system utilizes a small

pump to lift the water from the base pan and pump it into

a collector tray positioned above the indoor coil. The water

drains from the collector tray and drips onto the warm indoor

coil where it is evaporated into the room atmosphere. If an

excess amount of water is pumped to the indoor side, it is

routed back to the outdoor portion of the base pan.

The ICR system has proven to be an effective means of

minimizing the amount of heat pump condensate dripping

from the unit. However, if the restrictions of a particular

installation will allow absolutely no drippage of condensate

water from the wall case, the installation of an internal or

external drain system is recommended.

Units with ICR may not be installed in seacoast or corrosive

environment applications.

WATER DRAINAGE - Precipitation entering the unit through the outdoor louver may not be removed entirely by the

condensate removal system. The base pan flange is designed to allow excess water, either condensate water or

precipitation, to flow into the wall case and drain through two drain holes in the rear of the wall case. If there is more

water in the wall case than can be drained through these holes it will drain through the three overflow drain holes.

These drain holes must not be blocked when mounting or caulking the wall case.

For those installations where water draining from the drain holes is objectionable or where positive drainage is desired,

the RAD10 drain kit is available with either a 90° elbow or a 6" straight tube to be used either to connect to a field-

supplied drain line or to allow the water to drip free rather than drain down the surface of the building.

NOTE: Drain kit using either the 90° elbow tube or the straight tube may be installed without modification when using

RAG60 exterior grille. Drain kit using the 90° elbow tube may be installed without modification when using RAG61

through RAG63 exterior grilles. Modification must be made to the RAG61 through RAG63 exterior grilles when using the

straight tube. Modification must be made to the RAG67 grille if using either the 90° elbow tube or the straight tube (see

installation instructions with the RAG67 grille).

Ducted Installations

2900 and 3900 Series Zoneline® units may be used

in ducted installations.

With a ducted installation it is possible to condition the

air in two areas that have a common wall separating

them. A special adapter mounts on the wall case and a

transition piece directs the air from the unit into the adapter.

Instructions for mounting the adapter to the wall case are

included with the duct adapter. The adapter contains a

grille that allows air from the unit to be discharged into the

primary room and the adapter connects to a duct extension

that allows the air to flow to the adjoining room. Ducting

a unit may allow a single unit to be used rather than a

separate unit in each room, providing a means of reducing

initial equipment cost. The duct may extend a total of 15 feet

(with a field-fabricated insulated duct extension) in one

direction, either to the right or to the left of the unit. A baffle

in the adapter allows up to 50% of the discharge air to be

delivered to the secondary room.

The installation of the wall case and sub-base, if used, is the

same for units being ducted as for free-standing units. The

duct adapter support bracket overlaps the wall case by 1"

and the bracket and mounting screws add approximately

3/8" (3/16" on each side) to the width of the wall case. If

less than 1" of the wall case projects into the room it will

be necessary to allow for the additional width in the opening

for the wall case. The duct adapter mounting brackets should

be mounted prior to installing the case in the wall.

Refer to pages 38 and 39 for drawings of ducted installations.

Prior to the installation of the transition from the room

cabinet to the adapter, it will be necessary to remove the

discharge grille from the room cabinet. Instructions for this

modification are included with the duct adapter.

New Ducted Installations

Components

Duct Adapter RAK6052 — The duct adapter is secured

to each side of the wall case and requires the drilling of

mounting holes in the wall case during installation. A

template for the hole location is in the installation instructions.

By securing the duct adapter to the wall case, the chassis

retains the slide-out feature for servicing after the transition

piece is removed.

Duct Extension RAK601 — This kit contains a 44"-long

insulated duct, a register mounting collar, and an air supply

register. It can be secured to the duct adapter at either end

of the adapter. This duct may be cut at any dimension and

used in two applications providing the sum of the two duct

lengths necessary does not exceed the 44" length. Even in

single applications the mounting flange must be cut off

one end of the duct to accept the collar and supply register.

Mounting Collar and Supply Register RAK602 —These

components are included in the Duct Extension Kit RAK601.

They may be ordered separately for installations where two

duct extensions are made from one RAK601.

Ducted Application Considerations

When designing a ducted application, some application

considerations to be made include:

1. Do not exceed the 15-foot-length maximum for the

duct extension. Field-supplied duct extension must be

completely insulated with minimum of 1/2" insulation

2. The duct must be a straight run. Turns or bends in the

duct extension create air pressure drops that the unit is

not designed to overcome.

3. Minimum recommended clearance between the unit and

the adjacent wall is 2".

4. Provisions for return air must be made to allow air

circulation from secondary room. Doors in both secondary

and primary rooms may be undercut or a return grille

may be installed through a common wall.

5. When calculating the heat gain/heat loss take both areas

into consideration.

Replacements of Existing Ducted Units

Since the design of the Zoneline chassis has changed over

the years to provide better performance and appearance,

some of the components used in ducted applications have

changed. Select the proper components from the information

below. The best procedure in determining the correct kit is to

measure duct extension cross section.

Flat-Top Discharge Units (Zoneline Units Built Prior

to 1988)

Existing Duct Extension Cross Section Measurements:

8-3/8" height x 6-1/2" width

Duct Adapter RAK7012 — This duct adapter will allow the

replacement of a new chassis (2900 or 3900 Series unit)

into an existing ducted application. This adapter will align

properly with the duct extension and will eliminate the need

to modify the wall opening. In order to minimize replacement

costs, some of the components of the old duct adapter must

be removed and used in the new installation. Consult the

Installation Instructions of the RAK7012 before removing and

discarding the old duct adapter. See additional notes page 58.

Slope-Front Discharge Units

(Models With AZC, AZR, AZW, or AZ21 or AZ31 Prefix)

Existing Duct Extension Cross Section Measurements:

7-3/32" height x 6-1/2" width

Duct Transition RAK7022 — This duct transition will allow the

replacement of a new slope-front discharge Zoneline chassis

(2900 or 3900 Series unit) into a previous-design slope-front

ducted installation. See additional notes page 58.

Notes:

1. RAK6052 kit includes duct adapter, transition and mounting hardware.

2. RAK601 duct extension may be installed at either end of the RAK6052 duct adapter.

Maximum duct extension length is 15'. Duct extension must be field fabricated for

installations where length of duct exceeds length of RAK601 (44"). Field-fabricated

duct extension must be insulated to prevent condensation from forming on exterior.

Duct extension may not contain bends or turns.

3. Ducted units may need to be permanently connected. Check local code for specific

electrical installation requirements.

4. Duct extension kit RAK601 contains 44" duct extension, discharge grille mounting

collar, and discharge grille. Duct extension must be cut to required length. Two ducted

installations may be made from one kit if the combined ducted length is less than 44".

RAK602 kit contains mounting collar, discharge grille and mounting hardware

necessary for second installation.

5. Filler strip (field supplied) actual width depends upon wall case projection into room.

A flush installation to finished wall (i.e., no filler strip) can be made.

6. Unit must be installed to provide at least a 2" clearance between side of unit and wall.

7. Provisions for return air must be made in order to allow air circulation from secondary

room. Doors in both secondary and primary rooms may be undercut or a return grille

may be installed through common wall.

Exterior Grilles

Four styles of outdoor grilles are available for exterior

treatments. The standard stamped aluminum grille (RAG60),

the molded architectural louvered exterior grilles (RAG61-63) and

the extruded aluminum architectural louvered grille (RAG67).

All grilles include air deflectors and gaskets to prevent

condenser air recirculation. RAG67

RAG60

Outdoor Grille

RAG60 Outdoor Grille — The standard exterior grille is made

of durable aluminum to protect chassis components and

prevent air recirculation.

RAG61, 62, 63 Architectural Grille — One-piece optional

molded grille and frame assembly provides improved

appearance, protection and weatherability. Molded of

durable polycarbonate, the surfaces of the grille have a

colorfast, slightly textured finish which blends well with

most types of wall surfaces. The grilles can be painted in

the field to match the building for improved aesthetics.

Colors: RAG61 — Beige

RAG62 — Dark Maple

RAG63 — Bittersweet Chocolate

RAG67 Extruded Aluminum Grille — The RAG67 is made from

extruded anodized aluminum for use where an aluminum

architectural grille is preferred. The RAG67 is available in a

clear finish and may be special ordered from GE in other

colors. Minimum order quantities may be required. Contact

your General Electric salesperson for details.

All grilles are installed and secured to the wall case from the

inside. Keyhole slots in the rear flange of the case allow the

grille to be placed in position before securing it firmly to the

wall case.

Replacement of existing units: If an existing grille is not

replaced, capacity and efficiency will be reduced and the

unit may fail to operate properly or fail prematurely. A

deflector kit, RAK40, may be used with grilles that were

not designed for current AZ Series GE Zoneline® units. The

RAK40 contains air deflectors and gaskets that mount to

the chassis to direct the hot exhaust air away from the air

intake to allow the unit to function properly. All grilles used

with GE Zoneline units must comply with requirements

of Exterior Architectural Treatments and Special Outdoor

Grilles as follows.

RAG61

Outdoor Grille

41

geappliances.com

The architectural design of a building may dictate the use

of special or oversized louvers for aesthetic reasons. Louvers

other than standard Zoneline exterior grilles may be used

on the Zoneline unit, however, these special louvers, or any

special exterior architectural treatments of the building

facade that may restrict the free circulation of condenser

airflow, should be referred to GE Application Engineering for

evaluation and approval. The following guidelines should be

followed in selecting a louver:

1. The louver must have a minimum of 65% free area.

ASHRAE defines free area as the minimum area of the

opening in an air inlet or outlet through which air can

pass. Percent (%) free area equals the X dimension divided

by the Y dimension.

2. The louver should be attached to the wall case in a manner

that will prevent recirculation of condenser discharge air

into the air inlet. If the louver is not attached directly to

the wall case, a field-supplied splitter or gasket is required

between the chassis and the louver to prevent recirculation.

It is important that the above criteria be followed since

a louver that is too restrictive or allows recirculation will

reduce the unit’s capacity and efficiency, increase the

electrical current draw, cause intermittent operation due to

the compressor overload protector shutting the compressor

off, and cause failure of the compressor overload and

shorten compressor life. Using the unit with a grille that

is too restrictive or allows recirculation may constitute

improper installation and will void the unit's warranty.

A scale drawing of the louver section should be sent to GE

Application Engineering. To assure the proper performance of

the Zoneline unit and comply with Underwriters Laboratories

requirements, it may be necessary to send a sample louver

section (at least 16" x 42") to an independent lab to be tested

with the Zoneline unit.

Power Connection for 2900, 3900

and 5800 Series Zoneline® Units

All 2900, 3900, and 5800 Series Zoneline units are equipped

with universal heaters allowing chassis installation flexibility.

The Zoneline 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. The

appropriate kit is determined by the voltage, the means

of electrical connection, either line-cord connected or

permanently connected, and the desired resistance heat

output that may be supported by the branch circuit.

230/208-Volt Line-Cord Connected Units

Line Cord Kits consist of a self-aligning nine-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 position

of the wires in the nine-pin connector determines the heater

wattage and current requirements when it is plugged into

the Zoneline chassis.

The power connection kit is selected by the amperage of

the circuit where it will be installed. Each line cord kit has an

integral Leakage Current Detection and Interruption (LCDI) or

Arc Fault Current Interrupter (AFCI) device as required by the

National Electrical Code (NEC) and Underwriters Laboratory

(UL) for line-cord connected air conditioners manufactured

230/208-Volt Permanently Connected Units

Permanently connected units do not require the LCDI or AFCI

device. Permanent connection is usually made through the

use of a sub-base. Each 230/208-volt sub-base consists of

a sub-base with appropriate receptacle for minimum circuit

amperage, a chaseway to route power connector from the

sub-base to the chassis, wiring to connect the sub-base

to building wiring and a short line cord with a self-aligning

nine-pin connector to connect to chassis and plug into the

receptacle in the sub-base. Permanent, or direct-wired,

installation of a 230/208-volt unit requires a junction box kit,

RAK4002A, which attaches to the chassis to form an enclosed

junction box.

The short sub-base line cord may not be used without the

sub-base.

For 2900 and 3900 Series 230/208-volt units where a

permanent installation using flexible conduit is desired, the

RAK4002A forms an enclosed junction box on the chassis.

The RAK4002A has a 7/8"-diameter hole to allow conduit to

be connected to the junction box. For direct connection,

purchase and install the appropriate Universal Power Supply

Kit (also referred to as the Direct Connection Kit below) that

matches the ampacity of the building circuit connected to

the unit. This nine-pin connector with three 7"-long conductor

wires is used for direct connections to the building wiring

inside a direct-connect junction box. These wires are then

connected to the building wiring by field-supplied connectors.

For 5800 Series 230/208-volt units, the permanent installation

using flexible conduit procedure is the same as for the 2800

and 3800 Series units, except the junction box kit is RAK4002B.

Electric Heat Amps include electric heater and fan motor current draw.

Each 265-volt sub-base kit consists of a sub-base with appropriate receptacle for minimum circuit

amperage, a chaseway to route the power connector from the sub-base to the chassis and wiring

to connect the sub-base to the building wiring.

The 265-volt power connection kit must be ordered separately.

All wiring must conform to local electrical regulations

and codes.

265- or 277-Volt Unit Installation — Permanently

Connected Units

National Electric Code (Article 440.60) requires permanent

connection for units connected to power sources over 250

volts; therefore these units must be permanently connected

(direct-wired) with field-supplied connectors. Units connected

using a sub-base meet the requirement for permanent

connection since all wiring is internal wiring between the

sub-base and the chassis.

Since 265-volt units may not be line-cord connected, an LCDI

device is not required.

Electrical Wiring Information –

2900/3900/5800 Series

All Zonelines are single-phase 60 hertz units.

For all installations, the feeder, sub-feeder, branch circuit

and electrical protective devices and selection must conform

to the National Electrical Code and to local codes.

Maximum connected load in amperes, including demands

for the electric heater and the fan motor, are shown on

page 44. Branch circuit ampacity and electrical protective

device sizing are shown on page 42 for 230/208-volt and

for 265-volt units.

More than one unit per branch circuit is not recommended.

When in doubt, consult the National Electrical Code. All

wiring, including installation of receptacle, must conform

to local electrical regulations and codes.

Replacement of Existing Chassis

230/208-Volt and 265-Volt Units

There have been changes to NEC and improvements and

modifications to the Zoneline chassis and sub-bases since

the unit was first introduced. Some of these changes require

alterations to be made when replacing an older unit with a

new chassis.

Line-Cord Connected Units

The plug configuration of new line-cord connected units

complies with the current NEC standards. Older installations

may have wall receptacles that conformed to NEC standards

at the time the building was constructed and may not match

the configuration of the plug on the new line cord. The

recommended solution is to change the wall receptacle to

conform to current standard plug configuration. See chart

on this page for current receptacle configuration.

Permanently Connected Units With Sub-Base

If the existing unit is connected to a sub-base, the installation

of the new unit may involve modifying the existing installation

slightly. It is recommended these modifications be made by a

qualified electrician.

If the existing sub-base is the full width of the wall case,

RAK201 sub-base access plate may be ordered and used

to replace the cover on the old sub-base. Field-supplied

wiring, conduit and conduit connectors should be used to

make a connection between the new chassis and the center

knockout of the RAK201. The wiring connections should be

made inside the sub-base and the RAK201 attached to the

sub-base with the two screws provided.

If the existing sub-base is not the full width of the wall case,

the electrician will have to modify the existing cover plate to

allow field-supplied wiring, conduit and conduit connectors to

be run from the permanent connection kit to the sub-base.

Latent System Capacity

The total capacity of an air conditioner is made up of the

sensible capacity, the output of the unit used to remove

heat from the air in the area being conditioned, and the

latent capacity, the output of the unit used to dehumidify

the air in the area being conditioned. For humid climates

and applications, the sensible/latent capacity split of the

unit should be considered. The sensible capacity listed in

the specification charts on page 55 is at a standard rating

condition of 95°F dry bulb/75°F wet bulb outdoors; 80°F dry

bulb/67°F wet bulb indoors. The latent system capacity is 1.00

minus the Sensible capacity. (If the Sensible capacity is listed

at .74 the Latent capacity is .26. This means that 74% of the

capacity of the unit is used to remove heat from the air and

26% is used to remove moisture form the air at standard

test conditions.)

In some applications information about the Sensible/Latent

split, or ratio, at conditions other than the standard rating

conditions is needed. The chart below provides data at

various indoor conditions.

General Installation Suggestions

Many times poor or non-existent caulking around the exterior

of the wall case results in air infiltration, causing the unit

to run excessively. One way to check for air infiltration is to

look under and around the unit to the outdoors. If you can

see light, there is air infiltration. The first floor of a building is

where this problem most frequently occurs since caulking the

bottom of the wall case may require lying outside in the dirt

while working. This has been the cause of many complaints

about the “short cycling” of the unit.

Curtains, furniture or other obstructions interfering with the

discharge air circulation will make the unit cycle/turn off too

soon since the cooled (or heated) discharge air is pulled back

into the unit. This results in a room that is not adequately

heated or cooled.

Blocking the discharge air on the unit during the heating

operation can result in the air getting hot enough to distort

the plastic room front. If you have a property where this may

occur we recommend a “tent card” advising room occupants

not to put anything on the unit.

Electrical Wiring Installation

Do not allow the installer to drill a hole in the wall case to

run the electrical wiring. If this is done, the wiring will have

to be run between the chassis and the edge of the wall case

so it can be connected to the unit wiring on the room side

of the wall case. When the chassis is removed for servicing

or cleaning, the insulation on the wires can be cut and can

create a safety hazard.

If the electrical connection on a 230-volt or 208-volt

installation is to be made by the line cord plugged into a

wall-mounted receptacle, the receptacle should be located in

the wall under the case or close to the side of the wall case.

This installation makes a much neater appearance than a line

cord running a foot or more across the floor. The electrician

may want to place the receptacle as far from the unit as

possible to save a few feet of wiring without considering

how the installation may appear.

Central Desk Control and Remote

Thermostat Wiring

Do not allow the installer to drill a hole in the wall case to

run Central Desk Control wiring or remote thermostat wiring

to the unit terminals. CDC and remote thermostat wiring is

classified as low-voltage wiring and does not have to be run

in conduit unless required by local code. CDC and remote

thermostat wiring should be run in the walls and exit the wall

under the wall case about 2" from the right-hand side. The

base pan is designed with a clearance for the line cord and

the low-voltage wiring can also be run to the chassis in this

area. Wire molding can be used to hold the wiring close to the

bottom of the wall case. If a sub-base is used, the wiring can

be run through the sub-base, entering the rear and exiting

through one of the front panels. When the room cabinet is

in place the CDC or remote thermostat wiring is usually not

visible to someone standing or sitting in the room. Do not run

the low-voltage wiring in conduits with line-voltage wiring or

near uninsulated line-voltage wiring since induced current

can interrupt the low-voltage controls.

Consult the electrical inspector early in the project, especially if

the power to the air conditioner is to be 265 volts, to understand

what is required to comply with local electrical codes.

Wall Case/Exterior Grille

When making an installation where the exterior grille is flush

with the exterior wall, or part of a custom window/louver

section, make sure the installer caulks the wall case to the

exterior wall, especially the bottom of the case. Many times

the air conditioners are run during construction and the

building is not closed. This can result in excessive humidity

from the warm humid air entering the building, or from the

“drying out” of the building materials. Many problems have

been caused by condensate water or rainwater running back

into the building where proper caulking has not been done.

Capacity Considerations

A unit that has a greater cooling capacity than required will

cool the room quickly but will usually not run long enough

under normal operation to adequately dehumidify the room.

Most musty odors in rooms are due to excess humidity.

Using a smaller-capacity unit or using Dry Air 25 units will

provide better dehumidification. The largest factor in causing

mold and mildew in the room is excess moisture. A smaller

unit running longer or a Dry Air 25 model can remove more

moisture. Mold behind wall coverings that do not allow water

vapor to pass through—vinyl wallpaper or oil-base paints, for

example—is not a problem of excessive moisture in the room,

but rather is caused by moisture trapped in the walls.

Using a resistance heater larger than required—using a 5

kW heater when a 3.45 kW heater would suffice for example

—may not cost any more in electrical consumption since the

larger heater will operate for less time. The “Demand Charge”

portion of the utility bill—which is based on the highest

electrical load for a period of time—may be a significant

portion of the utility bill. Some customers have reported the

demand charge actually being more than the usage charge.

In a 100-room property it would be possible for the demand

of the 5.0 kW heater versus a 3.45 kW heater to be 155 kW

more than the demand charge if the lower wattage heaters

were used. Working with the utility companies to understand

their method of billing and taking advantage of any rebates

they may offer can reduce the utility bill.

Exterior Grilles

When replacing an older unit, the existing outdoor grille may

need to be changed or modified. Outdoor airflow patterns

have changed and this may dictate the need for outdoor

grille replacement or modification.

General Installation Suggestions

Ducted Installation Comments

New Installations

The GE Zoneline® 2900 and 3900 Series are approved for

ducted installation using the GE Duct Adapter model RAK6052

and the GE Duct Extension RAK601. A field-fabricated duct

extension with the same interior measurements as the RAK601

may be used with the RAK6052 duct adapter. GE does not

recommend ducting in more than one direction.

The use of a duct adapter other than the RAK6052 is not

approved by GE and may cause problems such as inadequate

airflow to the secondary room or the unit shutting off on one of

the overload devices.

Failure to allow for adequate air return from the secondary

room is often the cause of less than satisfactory performance

of a ducted installation.

Replacement Installations

GE offers duct adapters to allow for easy replacements of

previous-design chassis in ducted installations where a GE

duct adapter was used in the original installation. A duct

adapter is available that will align with the duct extension

when GE-built components were used in the original installation.

The duct extension used from the early 1960s until late 1987

was 8-3/8" high by 6-1/2" wide. If the chassis to be replaced is

the flat-top discharge (design until late 1987) the duct adapter

model RAK7012 will align with the existing duct extension.

This means the duct extension will not have to be changed.

However, to keep the cost of the replacement to a minimum

there are components that will need to be taken off the

existing installation and used on the RAK7012 duct adapter.

The wall case mounting brackets, screws, discharge grille,

damper and end cap will need to be retained.

If the chassis is a slope-front discharge and the duct

dimensions are 8-3/8" high by 6-1/2" wide, then the

chassis has already been replaced and the purchase

of a new duct adapter is not required. The only piece that

needs to be replaced in this installation is the transition

piece, model RAK7022, which fits between the chassis and

the duct adapter.

If the chassis being replaced has a model number that

begins with AZ22, AZ25, AZ28, AZ32, AZ35 or AZ38, the new

2900 or 3900 Series unit can be installed using the same

duct components.

If the existing chassis is a slope-front discharge and the duct

dimensions are 7-3/32" high by 6-1/2" wide, only the RAK7022

transition piece is required to install a 2900 or 3900 Series

unit in the ducted installation.

There were a number of Zoneline units installed in ducted

installations that did not use a GE duct adapter. The easiest

way to determine if the existing duct adapter is a GE duct

adapter is to compare the duct adapter dimensions to the

dimensions above. If the dimensions are different from the

dimensions above or it the duct adapter is not made of sheet

metal, it is not a GE duct adapter. In such installations GE

recommends the removal of the old duct adapter and duct

extension and the installation of a RAK6052 duct adapter

and a RAK601 duct extension. Zoneline units installed in

installations not using GE duct adapters and an extension

with the same cross-section dimensions as the duct adapter

may not be covered by the warranty.
