The Zoneline 4100 and 6100 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.

Cross-flow blower across the product line for quieter operation.

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 4100 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

• Removes 25% more moisture than standard Zoneline models

• Cools and dries air in less time than standard Zoneline models

• Dry Air 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 7,000, 9,000 and 12,000 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-410A 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 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 pre-cool (front) section. 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 AHRI test conditions under

which standard units are rated.

Important Notice

Equipment used as a primary source for

heating or cooling is an integral part of

the building in which it is installed. Proper

application is essential for satisfactory

performance over a wide range of

operating conditions. It is strongly

recommended that a professional

engineer determine proper application.

If the unit is a replacement unit, its

specifications and performance

may differ from those of the unit it is

replacing. For that reason, we again

strongly recommend that a professional

engineer determine proper application.

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.

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 6100 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.

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.

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.

11

FEATURES AND BENEFITS (cont)

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

the heating season.

Eliminates the need for changing fan-cycle switch seasonally.

“SmartFan” settings are controlled via the auxiliary control

setting push button.

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

Provides 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 (even when 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 16–18.

Central Desk Control Capability

See page 15.

Energy Management System Interface with

Load-Shedding Option

All units have a switch via the auxiliary control setting 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.

Vent Control

Open ventilation doors on

GE Zoneline® Packaged

Terminal Air Conditioners

and Heat Pumps allow

outside air to enter the room through a screen-covered

opening in the weather barrier that separates the indoor

and outdoor sections of the unit.

A concealed lever, located along the left side of the unit under

the front cover, is used to open and close the vent door.

The 3-position manual vent door control may be closed,

partially open or fully open. Positive vent door closure

prevents accidental opening and unwanted air infiltration.

CFM ratings at 230 and 265 volts.

For each CFM of air to enter the room, an equal amount of

air must be removed through exhaust fans in the bathroom

or roof tops. Greater amounts of air will be introduced (from

chart shown above) depending on the size of the exhaust fan.

Outside ambient air entering the room through this screened

vent opening is not conditioned. This unconditioned air

becomes mixed with the conditioned air that is circulated by

the indoor fan. This air mixture generates an additional heat

load/heat loss that causes the unit to run longer and may

translate into higher operating costs.

Zoneline vent openings are not intended to be the source

of make-up air for building ventilation systems due to the

additional heating or cooling loads generated.

Corrosion Protection (Optional)

4100 and 6100 Series units may be ordered with special

protection to better withstand damage from salt air and

salt water in seacoast or other corrosive areas.

Corrosion protection is standard on the Dry Air 25 models.

Heat pump units with ICR are not available with corrosion

protection and should not be installed in seacoast or other

corrosive environments.

Units installed in corrosive areas should use the RAB77 wall

sleeve and be examined/cleaned more frequently than

normal installations.

Internal Condensate Removal (ICR)

See page 35 for a discussion of the Internal Condensate

Removal system available on 6100 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 4100 Series with the Dry Air 25 heat pipe

application removes 25% more moisture than the base

4100 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.

Locking Door Kit

RAK8023 — A door with a lock that replaces the standard

control cover door to prevent unauthorized changing of

control settings is offered as an accessory.

heat without user interface. This helps to prevent plumbing

damage by turning the heater and indoor fan ON at 41ºF

and OFF at 46ºF.

When Heat Sentinel is activated, it automatically provides

cooling without user interface. This helps to prevent an

excessively hot room by turning the air conditioner ON

at 85ºF and OFF at 80ºF.

NOTE: These functions are active whenever the unit is

plugged in, even if the unit is in the STOP position.

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

(CDC). 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 11.

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 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 4100 and 6100 Series units are compatible with

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

with the provider of the energy management system to be

sure it is 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 and Heat Sentinel remain 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 or high limit temperature, the unit will

automatically turn on until it reaches the preset shutdown

temperature (46°F heating, 80°F cooling).

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.

thermostats considered for use with GE Zoneline units

is the responsibility of the customer.

The control voltage on the remote control conductors is 24

volts AC. The AC voltage may not be compatible with some

solid-state thermostats.

The fan speed for the 4100 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 below 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 and Heat Sentinel remain 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. See page 15 for additional

information on the CDC system.

Unit temperature-limiting settings are not functional when

unit is connected to a remote thermostat.

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 the 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® 4100 and 6100 Series units are adaptable to

Class 2 remote low-voltage thermostats. 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.

RAK806 Universal Control Cover Label

When a Zoneline unit is using a remote thermostat control,

the RAK806 Universal

Control Cover Label is

recommended. The

RAK806 is only

available in a

package of 10 labels.

The label is placed

over the control panel

to direct the user to

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 cannot

extract as much 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 and

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.

The Zoneline 6100 series heat pump units—with highly

featured microprocessor controls—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 (cont)

Heat Pump Operation — Zoneline® 6100 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.

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 below 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.

Zoneline Heat Pump Heat Source Logic

The Heat Boost option feature 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 above. 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 4 and 43–44 for information on power connection kits

and available heater capacities.

An option is provided in the auxiliary controls (Mode 8) 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 6100 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

Zoneline 6100 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. See page

35 for more information on heat pump condensate.

Units with ICR may not be installed in seacoast or other

corrosive environments.

* If the Heat Boost switch (auxiliary setting #9) is “ON”, 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.

** Heat Boost option only applies to systems controlled at the

unit. Heat Boost option should NOT be used with remote

thermostat operation since this will cause the unit to switch to

resistance heat when outdoor temperatures are below 46°F.

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. Zoneline units 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. The 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 in the cooling mode. 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.

WALL CASE

A choice of wall cases is available for Zoneline®

units.

RAB71A — This insulated case is constructed of heavy-

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 RAB71A 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

RAB71A 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.

RAB77A4 — 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 RAB77A4 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

36 for information on RAD10 Drain Kit.

RAK901L — For installations where the wall case extends

into the 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

deciding whether or not to use a sub-base in the installation

is a factor in the location of the wall opening. National

Electrical Code® (NEC) 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 make 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 RAK4002A 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 4100 and 6100 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.

Chaseway included.

RAK204D20P 208/230-volt 20-amp receptacle. Receptacle

Chaseway included.

The junction box (RAK4002A for 4100 and 6100 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.

RAK204E20 265-volt 20-amp receptacle. Receptacle is

NEMA7-20R 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 National Electrical Code

(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 RAB71A 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

RAB77A4 wall case with clips that fit over molded ribs without

requiring the use of screws into the wall case. (See page 34 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 31 and 32 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 16 and 17.

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 22 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 39 and 40.

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 extensions 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 31 and 32 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 AHRI

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.

25

WALL CASE INSTALLATION DATA (cont)

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

37). When this type of installation is made, there must be

provision in the grille work for condensate water to drain to

the exterior (including the overflow relief drain holes) 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 42.

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 29 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 30 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 RAB71A Series or RAB77A4 is ready for

installation.

26

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 RAB71A or RAB77A4 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. 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.

If the minimum exterior dimensions are not met, refer to

pages 31 and 32.

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 AHRI

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 27.) 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 37 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). Openings 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 44 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, 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 RAB71A 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 RAB77A4 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 inside

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 32. 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

AHRI (Air Conditioning, Heating & 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 AHRI test is

that “the test start with condensate collection pan brimful.”

In order to pass the AHRI 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 AHRI standards 310 and 380.

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

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

frost would block the airflow through the coil. 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 approximately 45°F.

Drain Kits

Although the Zoneline units are designed to dissipate most of

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 36 and

37 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

other 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

DUCTED INSTALLATIONS

4100 and 6100 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 installed in the discharge duct of the

adapter is provided from the factory to provide approximately

35% air discharge into the primary room (room in which the

unit is installed) and 65% into the secondary (adjacent) room.

To increase the amount of air discharged into the primary

room, the damper may be modified by removing the discharge

grille on top of the adapter and folding over (or cutting off) the

scored section of damper to provide approximately a 50/50

split. Completely removing the discharge damper will result in

approximately 75% air discharge into the primary room and

25% into 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 39 and 40 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. Turn the “Duct Mode” on in the auxiliary control settings

(Mode 7). This increases the fan speed to ensure proper

circulation.

4. Minimum recommended clearance between the unit and

the adjacent wall is 2".

5. 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.

6. 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

the existing 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 (4100 or 6100 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 notes on page 58.)

Slope-Front Discharge Units (AZ series models)

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

(4100 or 6100 Series unit) into a previous-design slope-front

ducted installation. (See notes on 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 (RAK40) 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 GE 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, must 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 (See page 42).

RAG61

Outdoor Grille

42

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 protector 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 4100

AND 6100 SERIES ZONELINE UNITS

All 4100 and 6100 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 National Electrical Code (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 NEC and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) for line-cord

connected air conditioners manufactured on or after August

1, 2004. The line-cord power connection kits are shown in

the table below.

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.

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.

*Wattage not available with 7,000 BTU systems.

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

NEC (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.

For 4100 and 6100 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.

Specifications subject to change.

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS ORDERING

OVERVIEW

The wiring harness can be ordered separately as RAK4002CW.

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.

ELECTRICAL WIRING INFORMATION –

4100/6100 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 (NEC) and to local codes.

Maximum connected load in amperes, including demands

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

page 45. Branch circuit ampacity and electrical protective

device sizing are shown on page 43 for 230/208-volt and

for 265-volt units.

More than one unit per branch circuit is not recommended.

When in doubt, consult the NEC. 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.

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 pages 54 and 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 from 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.

Specifications subject to change.

The following are suggested specifications for the Zoneline®

4100 Series Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner and the 6100

Series Packaged Terminal Heat Pump.

The contractor will furnish Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners

of the sizes and capacities shown on the schedule and in the

specifications. The units shall be located as shown on the

drawings and each shall consist of a chassis, room cabinet,

wall case, sub-base if specified, and outdoor grille.

Units shall be listed by UL, and AHRI and cUL certified as to

capacity and efficiency and shall be GE Zoneline models

or equal. Unit dimensions shall not exceed 42-1/8" wide and

16-1/4" high with room cabinet in place.

Units shall be designed to operate on (208) (230) (265) volts,

60 Hz, single-phase power.

Chassis. The air conditioner chassis shall be the standard

product of the manufacturer and shall be shipped in protective

cartons to prevent damage. Cartons shall be appropriately

marked at the factory with wording sufficient to warn handlers

against improper stacking, up-ending, rolling or dropping.

The chassis shall be the slide-in type, ready to operate

after installation.

Each shall consist of the following sections and components:

• Each unit shall have a matching, easily removable,

textured finish, wrap-around room cabinet molded of high-

temperature styrene to resist corrosion and damage. The

room cabinet shall have slide-out washable filters accessible

without requiring removal of room cabinet from chassis;

• Hermetically sealed refrigerant system with external

vibration isolated rotary-type compressor, condenser and

evaporator coils and capillary refrigerant control. Airflow

system consisting of one permanently lubricated two-speed

fan motor for the outdoor fan and a separate permanently

lubricated two-speed fan motor for the indoor fan. Outdoor

fan shall be multi-blade axial-flow design made of non-

corrosive material. Indoor fan shall be of a design to optimize

airflow and operating sound. All motors on the exterior side

of the weather barrier shall be of an enclosed design to

reduce the effects of moisture and corrosion;

• Line-cord connected units shall require a line-cord power

connection kit with integral Leakage Current Detection

and Interruption device or Arc Fault Current Interrupter as

required by National Electrical Code® (NEC) and Underwriters

Laboratories. The unit shall have a universal resistance

heater with output determined by connection to the power

source with the appropriate power connection kit to provide

specified heat output;

• A fan-cycle option to permit continuous fan operation or

fan cycle operation, independently selectable for heating

and cooling operation;

• Fan-only operation in either high or low fan speed selectable

by room occupant;

• A positive cooling condensate disposal system which

meets the test requirements of applicable AHRI Standard

310 (for Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners) and 380 (for

Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps) (80°F dry bulb, 75°F wet

bulb, 80% relative humidity);

SUGGESTED BID FORM SPECIFICATIONS

• Condenser and evaporator coils to be constructed of copper

tubing and aluminum plate fins designed to achieve EER and

COP rating of the unit;

• Indoor and outdoor airflows that match the capacity of the

coils for efficient heat transfer. Water blow-off shall not occur

on the indoor coil;

• Adjustable indoor discharge air louvers that provide a 50° off

vertical air pattern with an alternate position to provide a 40°

off vertical air pattern;

• Easily accessible controls for selection of unit operation

and thermostat setting. Controls shall be covered by a

hinged door;

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

4.7 kW heater when a 3.3 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 4.7 kW heater versus a 3.3

kW heater to be 140 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 (cont)

Ducted Installation Comments

New Installations

The GE Zoneline® 4100 and 6100 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 allow

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 adaptor/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, AZ29, AZ32, AZ35, AZ38 or

AZ39, the new 4100 or 6100 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 4100 or 6100 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 if 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.
