The Zoneline® 2800, ꢀ800 and 5800 Series have incorporated changes suggested by customers, along with
enhancements by GE’s Technology Team and changes necessary to meet new UL and NEC requirements.
“L” shaped condenser coil.
The “Partial Open Vent Air” feature was a specific request by a customer.
“Heat Sentinel” is an enhancement developed by GE’s Technology Team to help lodging professionals welcome their guests
with a moderate-temperature room and to help lower cooling costs.
Devices have been added on cord-connected units to protect against injury from unsafe power cords.
See the “Features and Benefits” section for in-depth explanation of these changes and the industry-leading features of
GE Zoneline retained from the previous series.
The Deluxe 2800 Series Zoneline Models Includes The “Dry Air 25” Models
Which Remove 25% More Moisture Than Other Zoneline Models.
When the cold air from the evaporator comes in contact
with the re-heat section of the heat pipe, the heat that was
removed by the pre-cool section is added back to the air and
the refrigerant in the heat pipe condenses and flows back
to the indoor coil. The air discharged into the room by this
process is much drier, creating a more comfortable room
condition.
The Newest Innovation from GE
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.
Deluxe Dry Air 25 Models
Cooling With Resistance Heat
• Remove 25% More Moisture than other Zoneline Models,
up to 2.7 Additional Gallons Per Day
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 the heat, and the Dry Air 25 is the
perfect solution. The dehumidification of the Dry Air 25 has
been verified by the same ARI test conditions that standard
units are rated under. A list of customers using Dry Air 25 is
available from GE.
• Cool and Dry Air in Less Time than Standard Zoneline Models
• Heat Pipe is a Separate Sealed Refrigerant System
— No Mechanical Parts — No Special Maintenance Required
• Helps Maintain Lower Relative Humidity In Rooms
• Maintains Comfort at Slightly Higher Room Temperatures
— Reduces Operating Costs — Provides Comfort Without
Overcooling
• Corrosion Treatment is Standard
COMPARISON OF DRY AIR 25 DEHUMIDIFICATION*
• Excellent Choice for Humid Climates
• Available in 7000, 9000 and 12000 BTU Sizes
GE Dry Air 25
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. This coil
arrangement will transfer heat from the front coil of the
saddlebag to the rear coil without power consumption.
This assembly uses R-22 as the refrigerant and is not
connected to the regular Zoneline refrigerant circuit.
GE 2500 Series Zoneline®
Removes
25%
Amana
More
Moisture
As warm, humid air is pulled through the pre-cool (front)
section of the heat pipe, the heat removed from the air is
absorbed by the refrigerant, causing the refrigerant to change
to a gas and flow to the re-heat (rear) section of the heat
pipe. The air leaving the pre-cool section of the heat pipe is
cooler and at a higher relative humidity level than the room
air. The pre-cooled air is further cooled as it passes through
the evaporator; consequently, the relative humidity increases
allowing the evaporator coil to remove more moisture.

42" wide x 16" high x 1ꢀ-ꢀ/4" deep
Standard on all Zoneline ꢀ800 and 5800 Series heat pumps.
Enables heat pump to operate at lower temperatures
when other systems switch to more expensive electric
resistance heat.
Replacement of older units is made easy.
Weather-Protected Electrical Components
Vital electrical components are protected from the weather
by locating them on the indoor side of the weather barrier.
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.
Weather-Resistant “Superseal”
Properly installed unit in undistorted case keeps air leakage
to a minimum.
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.
7 CFM air infiltration with 25 MPH wind on non-ICR units —
10 CFM on units with ICR.
Industry specification is 19 CFM of air infiltration.
Quick Heat Recovery – Heat Pump Units
Heater Sizes to Meet Room Requirements
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.
All units are equipped with a universal heater —
the resistance heat output is determined by power
connection kit.
2ꢀ0/208-volt — Line Cord Connected Units — 2.55/2.09 KW
with RAKꢀ15ꢀ — 15-amp circuit; ꢀ.45/2.82 KW with
RAKꢀ20ꢀ — 20-amp circuit; 5.0/4.09 KW with RAKꢀꢀ0ꢀ —

compressor malfunction, the digital temperature display
will blink. If the malfunction occurs during cooling operation,
the indoor fan will continue to operate. If the compressor
malfunctions in heating mode, the unit will automatically
switch to resistance heat to maintain room temperature set
point. GE Service should be called to check the Zoneline.
Unit Controls
2800 and ꢀ800 Series — locked-in-place rotary knobs for
temperature and operation selection.
Fan Motors – Permanently Lubricated
All units have two fan motors for quiet operation and
maximum operating efficiency.
5800 Series — touch pad controls with digital readout of
temperature set point.
Highly Featured Microprocessor Controls
Motors are permanently lubricated to reduce maintenance
and totally enclosed to keep dirt and water out of the motor
windings.
Microprocessor controls are programmed to interface with
the temperature sensors to maximize comfort conditions for
the room occupant and provide outstanding features.
2-Speed Outdoor Fan
Thermistors are used to sense small changes in temperature
to give excellent room control and allow the microprocessor
to monitor and react to changing conditions.
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.
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.
Indoor Fan Speed Selections – HIGH/LOW
Unit may be operated in HIGH HEAT or LOW HEAT or HIGH
COOL or LOW COOL.
Automatic Emergency Heat
Automatically uses electric resistance heat if the heat
pump output is not sufficient to maintain selected
room temperature.
9
Features and Benefits
Fan-Only Setting – HIGH/LOW
Indoor Coil Frost Control
The unit provides the option of selecting either HIGH or LOW
speed for Fan-Only operation.
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.
Fan-Cycle Switch – “SmartFan”
Unique “SmartFan” allows unit to operate fan continuous in
cooling operation and fan cycle in heating to provide better
guest comfort. Eliminates complaint of cold air draft during
heating operation.
Eliminates need of changing fan-cycle switch seasonally.
“SmartFan” settings are controlled by two dip switches on
auxiliary control panel.
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. Transfer
fans and their controlling relays are field supplied.
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 Zonelines have a random restart Electronic Temperature Limiting
logic system that prevents all units from starting at the
Seven independent programmable heating temperature limits
and seven independent programmable cooling temperature
limits. Eliminates need to reset the limits seasonally.

Central Desk Control Capability
See page 14.
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.
Energy Management System Interface with
Load Shedding Option
Heat Sentinel
All units have a switch on the auxiliary control panel to
allow the indoor fan to continue operating if the unit is
connected to an Energy Management System that shuts
off compressor or heater operation. By allowing the indoor
fan to run when the heater or compressor is shut off by
the Energy Management System, the guest is less likely to
realize the operation of the unit has been altered. This helps
reduce peak energy demand loads without disturbing the
room occupant.
The property owner may choose to activate the Heat
Sentinel feature on the Zoneline. If the Heat Sentinel is
activated and room temperature reaches 85°F while the
unit is in the “STOP” setting, the unit will automatically start
in air conditioning operation and will shut off when the room
temperature reaches 80°F. This will help dehumidify the air
and lower high temperatures so the guest will not be entering
an extremely hot room.
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.

See page ꢀ4 for a discussion of the Internal Condensate
Removal system available on ꢀ800 and 5800 Series heat pumps.
2800 and ꢀ800 Series units have an out-of-sight vertical
protective screen over the indoor fan. This allows easy
cleaning of air discharge area by simply removing room
front and wiping clean.
Enhanced Dehumidification
There is no screen directly below discharge louver to trap
unsightly dirt and debris where it may be seen by room
occupant.
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® 2800 Series with the Dry Air 25 heat pipe
application removes 25% more moisture than the base
2800 Series unit.

Central Desk Control
Some installations may want to govern the ability of the unit 4. Recommended wire size must be followed as a minimum
to operate from a control device remote to the unit or even
remote to the room in which the unit is located. The general
term given to systems such as this is Central Desk Control.
The most common installation of this type of system is a
switch mounted at the registration desk and, upon guest
check-in, a button is pushed or a switch is moved to allow
the air conditioner to operate. Likewise, when the guest
checks out the device is put into the “OFF” position so the
unit will not operate while the room is vacant.

Freeze Sentinel™ remains operational when the unit is
connected to a CDC system. Even if the unit is turned “OFF” at
the central location, if the sensor at the unit detects the low
temperature, the electric resistance heaters and the fan will
automatically turn on.
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.
Connecting the Zoneline 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.
Zoneline® models offer Load-Shedding capabilities on
units connected to Central Desk Control Systems. For more
information on the models’ Load-Shedding Feature, see
page 10.
CDC Terminal Location and Typical Wiring
See page 15 for location of CDC terminals on unit.
There is a wide variety of devices available, each with
its own benefits and constraints. While GE does not offer
components that are external to the unit for a Central Desk
Control (CDC) system, GE Zonelines are compatible with most
CDC and Energy Management systems. Zonelines provide a
24 VAC circuit that powers the Central Desk Control system
and no external power is needed.
Example of Common Bussing
NOT PERMITTED
All Zoneline 2800, ꢀ800, and 5800 Series units are compatible
with simple on/off 2-wire Central Desk Control systems.
Consult with the provider of other energy management
systems to be sure they are compatible with the GE Zoneline.
Zonelines 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 buss (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 bussing and may damage internal components
or cause erratic operation of the system.

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.
The AC voltage may not be compatible with some
solid-state thermostats.
The fan speed for the 2800 Series in remote thermostat
operation is selected by the connection of the fan wire from
the thermostat to either the HIGH or LOW terminal on the unit.
See the sketch of the unit terminals for the location of the HIGH
and LOW fan-speed terminals. Operating the unit in low fan
speed reduces the operating sound level of the unit.
Freeze Sentinel™ remains operational if the unit is connected to
a remote thermostat. The unit may be connected to a Central
Desk Control (CDC) system and controlled with a remote
thermostat when the CDC system has the unit in operation.
See page 14 for additional information on the CDC system.
Important Notes: Remote thermostat wiring should not be
run through wall case. Thermostat wiring should exit the
wall below the unit and enter the unit between room cabinet
and chassis. Wire molding may be used to hide thermostat
wiring. If a sub-base is used, the thermostat wiring may be
concealed by the sub-base. Thermostat wiring should not be
run parallel to line voltage wires since induced current may
cause erratic operation.
Unit temperature limiting switches are not functional when
unit is connected to a remote thermostat.

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.
Balance Point
An important consideration of the selection of a heat pump
unit is the “balance point” of the installation. Virtually every
room is unique — with different insulation — different sizes
and types of windows — different types of construction
— different directional exposures. All of 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 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 ꢀ.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.
GE offers two series of Zoneline Heat Pump units — the
ꢀ800 Series with Standard Microprocessor controls and the
5800 Series with Highly Featured Microprocessor controls
— and both series react to the indoor temperature as well
as the outdoor temperature in determining the heat source
to provide comfortable room conditions and energy savings.
This determination of the heat source based on the indoor
temperature helps provide a more comfortable room.
The compressor is used in heat pump operation just as
in air conditioning operation. In heat pump operation,
the hot refrigerant gas is directed to the indoor coil rather
than to the outdoor coil. Room air that circulates over the
indoor coil gains heat from the coil rather than losing heat
to the coil as during cooling operation.
As the outdoor temperature falls, the heat pump is able to
extract less heat from the outdoor air to raise the temperature
of the indoor air. For this reason, all packaged terminal heat
pumps also have electric resistance heaters as backup to heat
pump operation. At some point, the heat pump is unable to
provide sufficient heat to adequately warm the room. Many
Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps cease heat pump operation
and change to more expensive resistance heat at some
pre-determined outdoor temperature to compensate for
the inability of the heat pump to maintain room temperature.
This point, called the “switchover point,” is usually at an
outdoor temperature where savings from heat pump
operation may still be realized, if the unit is designed to
maintain room comfort at the lower outdoor temperatures.

Heat Pumps and Energy Savings
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 ꢀ and 42-4ꢀ for information on power connection kits
and available heater capacities.
Heat Pump Operation —
Zoneline ꢀ800 and 5800 Series
Heat sources: Heat pump, heat pump and simultaneous
electric resistance heat or electric resistance heat.
Zoneline heat pumps employ a highly featured microprocessor
control system interfaced with thermistors to accurately
measure indoor air temperature, outdoor air temperature,
indoor coil temperature and outdoor coil temperature. This
system allows the microprocessor to precisely and predictably
react to changing conditions in order to provide a very
advanced Packaged Terminal Heat Pump operating system.
A heat pump switch is provided in the auxiliary controls to
allow the unit to operate only in resistance heat. The use of
this option significantly increases the cost for heating.
Heat pump defrost — Zoneline ꢀ800 and 5800 Series
The Zoneline heat pumps are designed to help ensure a
comfortable room. When “HEAT” is selected, the unit will
determine if the room air is warm enough to satisfy the
thermostat setting. If the temperature at the unit sensor
is below the desired temperature, the electric resistance
heater will be utilized to warm the room to the point where
the thermostat is satisfied. This feature is designed to allow
the temperature of an unoccupied room to be maintained
at an energy-saving level without inconveniencing the room
occupant. Once the thermostat has been satisfied, the
resistance heater will turn off and the heat pump will operate
as shown in the Heat Source Logic chart until the thermostat
calls for heat again. The unit will operate in this manner even
if connected to a Central Desk Control.
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 build-up.
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.

The Zoneline ꢀ800 Series heat pumps may be ordered with

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.

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 with
the space to be conditioned. Air conditioners are designed
primarily to provide heating and cooling with the additional
benefit that during operation in the cooling mode, the units
also remove some moisture from the conditioned space.
The following are some brief application comments on
undersizing, oversizing, heating, wall coverings, and air
infiltration: all are important in the proper matching of the
heating/air conditioning system to the building structure.
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 ꢀ" below the ceiling.
In installations where units
are close to the ceiling, the
most horizontal discharge
angle can be obtained by
removing the discharge grill
from the room cabinet.
50°
Undersizing: If an air conditioner is undersized (cooling
capacity is less than required for a specific application), the
unit will typically not be able to cool the space down to the
desired temperature (thermostat set point), nor be able to
remove enough moisture from the air. A result could be a
warm and humid or warm and dry conditioned space.

Oversizing: If an air conditioner is oversized (cooling capacity
is greater than required for the specific application), the unit
will typically cool the space down to the desired temperature
(thermostat set point) too quickly. The compressor then
begins to cycle on and off. Dehumidification only takes place
when the compressor is operating. A typical result in a hot/
humid climate could be a cool but excessively humid space.
condition the entire room.
Add a second unit as shown
in the “Correct” illustration.
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.
INCORRECT
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.
OVER 40 FT.
CORRECT
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
2-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.
OVER 40 FT.
All room cabinets return air through the front of the unit.

Wall Case
A choice of wall cases is available for the Zoneline.®
“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.
RAB71A — This insulated case is constructed of heavy-gauge
galvanized steel and finished with a protective baked-enamel
finish for protection and appearance. Design of the case
provides for support of the chassis and free draining of any
water entering the wall case. A petroleum microcrystalline
wax is applied at critical points of fabrication to seal against
moisture. The dimensions of the RAB71 wall case are: 42"
wide by 16" high by 1ꢀ-ꢀ/4" deep, the same dimensions as the
original wall case for GE Zonelines built in 1961. The RAB71
wall case is also available in depths other than the standard
depth. It is available on special order as: RAB7116 – 16" deep;
RAB7124 – 24" deep; RAB7128 – 28" deep; and RAB71ꢀ1 – ꢀ1"
deep. All of these special-order deep wall cases are insulated
and have sheet metal dividers, or splitters, to prevent the
recirculation of condenser discharge air.
Using a sub-base in an installation requiring permanent
connection provides a convenient, consistent location for
unit wiring to be connected to building wiring. The use of
a sub-base is not required, but the convenience and the
improved aesthetics it offers makes the use of a sub-base
a viable means of permanent connection.
RAB77 — This non-insulated wall case is molded from
fiberglass-reinforced polyester compound. This SMC
(Sheet-Molded Compound) wall case offers outstanding
strength, durability, color retention, water integrity and
corrosion resistance. The dimensions of the RAB77 wall
case are: 42-1/8" wide by 16-1/4" high by 1ꢀ-7/8" deep.
RAK204U — The RAK204U Series of sub-bases provides a
variety of designs that fit the site needs and are available
for use with Zoneline PTAC/PTHP units. The RAK204U will
most likely be used for support of the wall case and unit.
The RAK204U is the same physically as the other sub-bases
except there is no receptacle installed. Receptacles and
wiring can be field installed and, by using the RAK205CW
chaseway and the RAK4002 junction box perform the same
function as any of the other sub-base kits by selecting the
correct receptacle and installing it in the interior mounting
plate inside the RAK204U.
• 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
ꢀ4 for information on RAD10 Drain Kit.
208/2ꢀ0-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.
RAK901L — For installations where the wall case extends into
room, RAK901L is an insulation kit that can be used with the
RAB77 or any existing non-insulated wall case to minimize
the possibility of condensation forming on the indoor side of
the case during the winter.
RAK204U — No receptacle, no wiring, will accept any
15-, 20-, ꢀ0-amp receptacle and wiring. No chaseway is
included. RAK205CW chaseway must be ordered separately.
Sub-Base
The sub-base is an optional accessory for the Zoneline
and is presented with the wall case information since the
decision to use or not to use a sub-base in the installation
is a factor in the location of the wall opening for the unit.
National Electrical Code® requires that air conditioning units
connected to voltages in excess of 250 volts be “permanently
connected.” There are also some installations where units
connected to voltage sources under 250 volts may also
need to be “permanently connected.” If you are in doubt
about the requirements for a particular installation, consult
Article 440 of the NEC or the local electrical inspector. These
requirements are designed to protect personal safety and
should be strictly followed. Although NEC is cited here as a
reference, all electrical wiring and installations must conform
to any and all local electrical codes and regulations.
The 2ꢀ0/208-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

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.

In walls thicker than 1ꢀ-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. If you are unable to locate a local
source for case extensions, please contact your salesperson for
a possible supplier. Such extension must be carefully flashed
and sealed both to the wall case and to the wall to ensure
water integrity. This is necessary to ensure that any water
entering the wall case, either from operation of the unit or from
other sources, such as rain storms or from washing the exterior
of the building, will drain from the case without the possibility of
capillary action drawing the water into either the room or the
wall cavity. In an installation where the case is recessed less
than ꢀ" 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
ꢀ0 and ꢀ1 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.
The junction box for 265-volt units is shipped with the
chassis since all 265-volt units are to be “Permanently
(or Direct) Connected.”
The Power Connection Kit is not included
There are separate internal compartments to permit
separation of low voltage (Class 2) connections from line
voltage connections as required by NEC. Conduit containing
building wiring enters the sub-base through knockouts
located in the rear or bottom of the sub-base and is not
accessible when the wall case is installed.
The sub-base attaches to the RAB71 wall case with two clips
(field-assembled) that are screwed into pre-drilled holes in the
bottom front flange of the wall case. It attaches to the RAB77
wall case with clips that fit over molded ribs without requiring
the use of screws into the wall case. See page ꢀꢀ 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-ꢀ/8" or greater. The sub-base has 4 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 ꢀ" and 5".
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 louver sections.
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 ꢀ" 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
The wall case should be level from side to side and
from level to 1/4 bubble tilt to the outdoors. The
condensate disposal system in the unit is designed
to dissipate the condensate water generated
during cooling operation in accordance with ARI
standards and actually uses this water for maximum
unit efficiency. A level unit will also ensure proper
performance of the Internal Condensate Removal (ICR)
system optional on heat pump units.

Wall Case Installation Data (Continued)
Masonry Wall Construction
The wall case should be installed during construction and
lintels should be used to support the blocks above the wall
case. The wall case will not support the concrete block.
The installation instructions show how the wall case must
be secured to the masonry and caulked. Do not remove the
cardboard stiffener supplied with the wall case until ready
to install the chassis. See page 29 for details of installation
in masonry wall.
For 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.
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.
Architectural Window/
Louver Installation
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.
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 ꢀ6). When this type of installation is made, there must
be provision in the grille work for condensate water to drain
to the exterior and not be routed back into the interior of
the building or into the wall cavity. Failure to allow for the
drainage of condensate water can cause extensive damage
to structural components. The problems associated with the
lack of condensate drain consideration often show up shortly
after the air conditioners are turned on in a new building.
New buildings that have been virtually wide open during
construction have a significant amount of moisture in the air
and in the building components that the air conditioners start
removing as they operate. The free area in the louver section
must also comply with the requirements shown on page 41.
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.
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
As shipped, the RAB71 Series or RAB77 is ready for
installation.
With this type of construction, provision for support of the
unit, other than by the wall itself, is often required. Such
support may be in the form of wood or metallic material of
the proper thickness to maintain a level case. This additional
support should be located both near the wall and at the front
of the wall case. Sub-base (RAK204 Series) with four leveling
legs provides an excellent support for the unit in this type of
installation. See page 28 for details of this type of installation.
In existing construction, common practice is to remove a
pane of glass, metal, wood, or other construction material
and build a frame around the wall case. Similar filler panel
material may be installed around the case for appearance
and weather seal.
24
ge.com
Preparation of the Wall Case for
All Types of Construction
Case Angles
In some installations such as curtain walls, window walls,
or where the structural material of the wall is insufficient
to support or fasten wall case to, the use of 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.
Do not remove the stiffener from inside the wall case or the
weather closure panel from the outside face of the wall case
until the outdoor grille and chassis are ready to be installed.
Installation of Wall Case in Wall Opening
1. Position the wall case into the wall. The room side edge of
the RAB71 or RAB77 wall case should be at least flush with
the finished wall for line cord installations and permanent The following describes the procedure when field fabricated
connection installations when no sub-base is used, and
should project into the room at least 2-ꢀ/8" when a sub-
base is used. If the minimum exterior dimensions are not
met, refer to page 27 and 28. The outside edge of the wall
case should extend at least 1/4" beyond the outside wall.
This is necessary for proper caulking, to prevent sealing
the drain holes in the rear flange of the wall case, and to
facilitate the installation of an accessory drain, if used.
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.
ꢀ. For RAB71 wall case drill 5/ꢀ2" diameter holes at locations
marked on wall case in Step 2, and assemble angles to
wall case using #10 x 1/2" self tapping screws. For RAB77
wall case follow the same procedure except use a #10 x
1/2" bolt, washer and nut to attach case angles to case.
Install screws or bolts from outside wall case.
The wall case should be level from side to side and
from level to 1/4 bubble tilt to the outdoors. The
condensate disposal system in the unit is designed
to dissipate the condensate water generated
during cooling operation in accordance with ARI
standards and actually uses this water for maximum
unit efficiency. A level unit will also ensure proper
performance of the Internal Condensate Removal
(ICR) system optional on heat pump units.
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.
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 page 26. Mark the wall case
on each side 2" from the bottom and 2" from the top at a
point where basic wall structure is located. Drill wall case
and use fasteners appropriate for wall construction. All
holes for fasteners in the side of the wall case must be at
least 2" up from the bottom of the wall case. Never locate
screws or put other holes in the bottom of the wall case.
The only exception is when an RAD10 drain kit is installed
to connect to an internal drain system. See page ꢀ6 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.
ꢀ. Caulk or gasket the entire opening on the outside between
the wall case and exterior wall surface (4 sides) to provide
total water and air seal.
4. Caulk or gasket room-side opening between wall case and
interior wall surface (4 sides). Opening beneath or around
the wall case can allow outdoor air to leak into the room
resulting in increased operating costs and improper room
temperature control.
Care should be taken in location of electrical supply entry
in relationship to wall sleeve to assure access to receptacle
or junction box once unit is installed.
• Refer to page 4ꢀ for maximum power cord length.
• Permanent connected units close to finished floor must
allow for conduit clearance.

Condensate Disposal Systems
Cooling Condensate
Heat Pump Condensate Disposal
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
Since the outdoor coil is cold during heat pump operation, the
condensate water cannot be deposited on the outdoor coil
as the water would cause frost to form on the coil. This frost
in the air condenses into water droplets on the coil. This water would block the airflow through the coil and greatly reduce the
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.
outdoor air. Rather than allow this problem to occur, heat pump
units must dispose of the condensate in another manner.
Temperature-Activated Drain Valve
The most widely used method of
disposing of heat pump condensate
is with a “Temperature-Activated
Drain Valve.” This is a device mounted
in the base pan of a heat pump
unit with a bellows that expands on
temperature rise and contracts with
Slinger Ring Systems
Packaged Terminal units employ various means of dispersing
the condensate water against the outdoor coil. 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.
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 49°F.
All Zoneline Series Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners
and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps utilize a slinger ring
for cooling condensate disposal.
Drain Kits
Certification Test Requirements
Although the Zoneline units are designed to dissipate all 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 ꢀ5 and
ꢀ6 for information covering the drain systems and the RAD10
kit available to connect to the wall case.
ARI (Air Conditioning & Refrigerating Institute) requires that all
certified Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Packaged
Terminal Heat Pumps pass a cooling condensate disposal
test. One stipulation of the ARI test is that “the test start with
condensate collection pan brimful.” In order to pass the ARI
Condensate Disposal Test the unit must operate continuously
for four hours without condensed water blowing, dripping,
or running off the unit casing during the test or after the
unit has been turned off. Under extremely high outdoor
humidity conditions or extreme operating conditions, such
as exceptionally high air infiltration (a door or window left
open while the unit is running, for instance) it is possible for
any air conditioner to be unable to dissipate all the cooling
condensate generated.
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.
All Zoneline® Series Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners
and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps meet the condensate
disposal requirements of ARI standards ꢀ10-9ꢀ and ꢀ80-9ꢀ.
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.
The ICR system has proven to be an effective means of
minimizing the amount of heat pump condensate dripping
from the unit. However, if the restrictions of a particular
installation will allow absolutely no drippage of condensate
water from the wall case, the installation of an internal or
external drain system is recommended.
Units with ICR may not be installed in seacoast or corrosive
environment applications.

Ducted Installations
RAK601 Duct
Extension,
Mounting Collar
and Register
2800 and ꢀ800 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
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.
grille that allows air from the unit to be discharged into the
primary room and the adapter connects to a duct extension
that allows the air to flow to the adjoining room. Ducting
a unit may allow a single unit to be used rather than a
separate unit in each room, providing a means of reducing
initial equipment cost. The duct may extend a total of 15
feet (with a field fabricated insulated duct extension) in one
direction, either to the right or to the left of the unit. A baffle
in the adapter allows up to 50% of the discharge air to be
delivered to the secondary room.
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.
ꢀ. Minimum recommended clearance between the unit and
the adjacent wall is 2".
4. Provisions for return air must be made to allow air
circulation from secondary room. Doors in both secondary
and primary rooms may be undercut or a return grille
may be installed through a common wall.
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
ꢀ/8" (ꢀ/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.
5. When calculating the heat gain/heat loss take both areas
into consideration.
Refer to pages ꢀ8 and ꢀ9 for drawings of ducted
installations.
Replacements of Existing Ducted Units
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.
Since the design of the Zoneline chassis has changed over
the years to provide better performance and appearance,
some of the components used in ducted applications have
changed. Select the proper components from the information
below. The best procedure in determining the correct kit is to
measure duct extension cross section.

Components
Duct Adapter RAK7012 — This duct adapter will allow the
replacement of a new chassis (2800 or ꢀ800 Series unit)
into an existing ducted application. This adapter will align
properly with the duct extension and will eliminate the need
to modify the wall opening. In order to minimize replacement
costs, some of the components of the old duct adapter must
be removed and used in the new installation. Consult the
Installation Instructions of the RAK7012 before removing and
discarding the old duct adapter. See additional notes page 58.
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 do not exceed the 44" length. Even in
single applications the mounting flange must be cut off

Exterior Grilles
Four styles of outdoor grilles are available for exterior
treatments. The standard stamped aluminum grille (RAG60),
the molded architectural louvered exterior grilles (RAG61-6ꢀ),
the molded architectural louvered exterior grilles with flange
(RAG64-66), and the extruded aluminum architectural
louvered grille (RAG67). All grilles include air deflectors
and gaskets to prevent condenser air recirculation.
RAG67
RAG67 Extruded Aluminum Grille — The RAG67 is made from
extruded anodized aluminum for use where an aluminum
architectural grille is preferred. The RAG67 is available in a
clear finish and may be special ordered from GE in other
colors. Minimum order quantities may be required. Contact
your General Electric salesperson for details.
RAG60
Outdoor Grille
RAG60 Outdoor Grille — The standard exterior grille is made
of durable aluminum to protect chassis components and
prevent air recirculation.
All grilles are installed and secured to the wall case from the
inside. Keyhole slots in the rear flange of the case allow the
grille to be placed in position before securing it firmly to the
wall case.
Replacement of existing units: If an existing grille is not
replaced, capacity and efficiency will be reduced and the
unit may fail to operate properly or fail prematurely. A
deflector kit, RAK40, may be used with grilles that were
not designed for current AZ Series GE Zoneline units. The
RAK40 contains air deflectors and gaskets that mount to
the chassis to direct the hot exhaust air away from the air
intake to allow the unit to function properly. All grilles used
with GE Zoneline® units must comply with requirements
of Exterior Architectural Treatments and Special Outdoor
Grilles as follows.
RAG61
Outdoor Grille
RAG61, 62, 6ꢀ 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.
RAG64
Outdoor Grille
RAG64, 65, 66 Architectural Grille with Flange — Identical to
RAG61-6ꢀ grilles with the addition of a 1/2" flange around the
top and sides to help conceal the juncture of the RAB71 wall
case and the wall opening. The best appearance is achieved
with this grille when the wall case extends minimally (between
1/4" and 1/2") beyond the exterior face of the building.
Colors: RAG61 and 64 — Beige; RAG62 and 65 — Dark Maple
RAG6ꢀ and 66 — Bittersweet Chocolate.

Exterior Architectural Treatments
and Special Outdoor Grilles
The architectural design of a building may dictate the use
of special or oversized louvers for aesthetic reasons. Louvers
other than standard Zoneline exterior grilles may be used
on the Zoneline unit, however, these special louvers, or any
special exterior architectural treatments of the building
facade that may restrict the free circulation of condenser
airflow, should be referred to GE Application Engineering for
evaluation and approval. The following guidelines should be
followed in selecting a louver:
1. The louver must have a minimum of 65% free area.
ASHRAE defines free area as the minimum area of the
opening in an air inlet or outlet through which air can
pass. Percent (%) free area equals the X dimension divided
by the Y dimension.
2. The louver should be attached to the wall case in a manner
that will prevent recirculation of condenser discharge air
into the air inlet. If the louver is not attached directly to
the wall case, a field supplied splitter or gasket is required
between the chassis and the louver to prevent recirculation.
It is important that the above criteria be followed since
a louver that is too restrictive or allows recirculation will
reduce the unit’s capacity and efficiency, increase the
electrical current draw, cause intermittent operation due to
the compressor overload protector shutting the compressor
off, and cause failure of the compressor overload and
shorten compressor life. Using the unit with a grille that
is too restrictive or allows recirculation may constitute
improper installation. 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 GE to be
tested with the Zoneline unit.

Line Cord Kits consist of a self-aligning nine-pin molded
connector that plugs into a mating connector on the Zoneline
chassis and insulated line cord with an electrical plug on
the end. The configuration of the electrical plug conforms
to NEC standards for the circuit amperage and the position
of the wires in the nine-pin connector determines the heater
wattage and current requirements when it is plugged into
the Zoneline chassis.

integral Leakage Current Detection and Interruption (LCDI) or
Arc Fault Current Interrupter (AFCI) device as required by the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and Underwriters Laboratory
(UL) for line-cord connected air conditioners manufactured
on or after August 1, 2004. The line-cord power connection
kits are shown in the table below.
National Electric Code (Article 440 Section G) 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.
2ꢀ0/208-Volt Line-Cord Connected Units
Since 265-volt units may not be line cord connected, an LCDI
device is not required.

Permanently connected units do not require the LCDI or AFCI
device. Permanent connection is usually made through the
use of a sub-base. Each 2ꢀ0/208-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 2ꢀ0/208-volt unit requires a junction box kit,
RAK4002A, which attaches to the chassis to form an enclosed
junction box.

Replacement of Existing Chassis
2ꢀ0/208-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 page 55 is at a standard rating
condition of 95°F dry bulb/75°F wet bulb outdoors; 80°F dry
bulb/67°F wet bulb indoors. The Latent system capacity is
1.00 minus the Sensible capacity. (If the Sensible capacity is
listed at .74 the Latent capacity is .26. This means that 74% of
the capacity of the unit is used to remove heat from the air
and 26% is used to remove moisture form the air at standard
test conditions.)
In some applications information about the Sensible/Latent
split, or ratio, at conditions other than the standard rating
conditions is needed. The chart below provides data at
various indoor conditions.

Formula for Calculating Operating Costs Using Above Data:
Heat Loss KW x Heating Degree Days x “C” x Cost Per KWH
Outdoor Design Temperature Difference
*The above formula is for electric resistance heating only. Power consumption using the Zoneline Heat Pumps should be adjusted by Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF).
Heating* —
= Operating Cost
The local power supplier should be consulted for recommended value of “C.” This factor will vary between 17 and 24.
Calculated Heat Gain (BTUH)
Installed unit capacity (BTUH)

General Installation Suggestions
Many times poor or non-existent caulking around the exterior visible to someone standing or sitting in the room. Do not run
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 Freeze Sentinel™.
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.
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 left side during 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.
Capacity Considerations
Electrical Wiring Installation
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, and 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.
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 2ꢀ0-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.
Using a resistance heater larger than required — using a 5
kW heater when a ꢀ.45 kW heater would suffice for example
— may not cost any more in electrical consumption since the
larger heater will operate for less time. The “Demand Charge”
portion of the utility bill — which is based on the highest
electrical load for a period of time — may be a significant
portion of the utility bill. Some customers have reported
the “Demand Charge” actually being more than the usage
charge. In a 100-room property it would be possible for the
demand of the 5.0 kW heater versus a ꢀ.45 kW heater to be
155 kW more than the demand charge if the lower wattage
heaters were used. Working with the utility companies to
understand their method of billing and taking advantage of
any rebates they may offer can reduce the utility bill.
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 be run to the chassis in this area
also. 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
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
If the chassis is a slope-front discharge and the duct
dimensions are 8-ꢀ/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.
Ducted Installation Comments
New Installations
The GE Zoneline® 2800 and ꢀ800 series are approved for
ducted installation using the GE Duct Adapter model RAK6052
and the GE Duct Extension RAK601. A field-fabricated duct
extension with the same interior measurements as the RAK601
may be used with the RAK6052 duct adapter. GE does not
recommend ducting in more than one direction.
If the chassis being replaced has a model number that
begins with AZ22E, AZ22, AZ25, AZꢀ2, AZꢀ2H or AZꢀ5, the
new 2800 or ꢀ800 Series unit can be installed using the same
components that were used for the 2200 or ꢀ200 Series unit.
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.
If the existing chassis is a slope-front discharge and the duct
dimensions are 7-ꢀ/ꢀ2" high by 6-1/2" wide only the RAK7022
transition piece is required to install a 2800 or ꢀ800 Series
unit in the ducted installation.
Failure to allow for adequate air return from the secondary
room is often the cause of less than satisfactory performance
of a 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 than the
dimensions above or it the duct adapter is not made of sheet
metal, it is not a GE duct adapter. In such installations GE
recommends the removal of the old duct adapter and duct
extension and the installation of a RAK6052 duct adapter
and a RAK601 duct extension. Zoneline units installed in
installations not using GE duct adapters and an extension
with the same cross-section dimensions as the duct adapter
may not be covered by the warranty.
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
whenGE-builtcomponentswereusedintheoriginalinstallation.
The duct extension used from the early 1960s until late 1987
was 8-ꢀ/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.
