The Zoneline 2800, 800 and 5800 Series have incorporated changes suggested by customers, along with enhancements by GEs 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 GEs 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 GEs 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 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.
Deluxe Dry Air 25 Models

Remove 25% More Moisture than other Zoneline Models, up to 2.7 Additional Gallons Per Day Cool and Dry Air in Less Time than Standard Zoneline Models Heat Pipe is a Separate Sealed Refrigerant System No Mechanical Parts No Special Maintenance Required Helps Maintain Lower Relative Humidity In Rooms Maintains Comfort at Slightly Higher Room Temperatures Reduces Operating Costs Provides Comfort Without Overcooling Corrosion Treatment is Standard Excellent Choice for Humid Climates Available in 7000, 9000 and 12000 BTU Sizes The Dry Air 25 system, a heat pipe, is a hermetically sealed heat transfer surface installed in a saddlebag configuration around the indoor (evaporator) coil of the Zoneline. This coil arrangement will transfer heat from the front coil of the saddlebag to the rear coil without power consumption. This assembly uses R-22 as the refrigerant and is not connected to the regular Zoneline refrigerant circuit. As warm, humid air is pulled through the pre-cool (front) section of the heat pipe, the heat removed from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant, causing the refrigerant to change to a gas and flow to the re-heat (rear) section of the heat pipe. The air leaving the pre-cool section of the heat pipe is cooler and at a higher relative humidity level than the room air. The pre-cooled air is further cooled as it passes through the evaporator; consequently, the relative humidity increases allowing the evaporator coil to remove more moisture.

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.
Heater Sizes to Meet Room Requirements

All units are equipped with a universal heater the resistance heat output is determined by power connection kit. 20/208-volt Line Cord Connected Units 2.55/2.09 KW with RAK15 15-amp circuit; .45/2.82 KW with RAK20 20-amp circuit; 5.0/4.09 KW with RAK0 0-amp circuit. 20/208-volt - Sub-Base Connected Units 2.55/2.09 KW with RAK204D15P 15-amp circuit; .45/2.82 KW with RAK204D20P 20-amp circuit; 5.0/4.09 KW with RAK204D0P 0-amp circuit. 265-volt 2.55 KW with RAK5172 15-amp circuit; .45 KW with RAK5202 20-amp circuit; 5.0 KW with RAK502 0-amp circuit.
Quick Heat Recovery Heat Pump Units

When the unit operation is changed from STOP or COOL to HEAT, the electric resistance heaters are used to warm the room to the thermostat set point. This provides faster room temperature increase for greater guest comfort.
Unit Diagnostics
The 5800 Series has a dip switch that activates each of the various components of the unit to operate briefly. This enables the technician to determine if individual components are functioning properly.
Service Indicator
On the 5800 Series, if the microprocessor detects a compressor malfunction, the digital temperature display will blink. If the malfunction occurs during cooling operation, the indoor fan will continue to operate. If the compressor malfunctions in heating mode, the unit will automatically switch to resistance heat to maintain room temperature set point. GE Service should be called to check the Zoneline.
Unit Controls
2800 and 800 Series locked-in-place rotary knobs for temperature and operation selection. 5800 Series touch pad controls with digital readout of temperature set point.
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.
Highly Featured Microprocessor Controls

Microprocessor controls are programmed to interface with the temperature sensors to maximize comfort conditions for the room occupant and provide outstanding features. Thermistors are used to sense small changes in temperature to give excellent room control and allow the microprocessor to monitor and react to changing conditions.
2-Speed Outdoor Fan

The unit automatically selects the most efficient speed for the outdoor fan. The operating sound level is lower when the outdoor fan can operate in low speed yet there are situations where it must operate in high speed. The unit changes the fan speed automatically.
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 46F 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

Fan-Only Setting HIGH/LOW
The unit provides the option of selecting either HIGH or LOW speed for Fan-Only operation.
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.
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 logic system that prevents all units from starting at the same time.
Electronic Temperature Limiting

Seven independent programmable heating temperature limits and seven independent programmable cooling temperature limits. Eliminates need to reset the limits seasonally.
Rotary Compressor

Freeze Sentinel
Detects low room temperature and turns on heater to help protect against damage caused by freezing room temperature. Heater turns on at 41F and warms indoor thermistor temperature to 46F and shuts off. Freeze Sentinel may be turned off by dip switch on auxiliary control.
Remote Control Capability with Wall-Mounted Thermostat

See pages 15-17.
Central Desk Control Capability

See page 14.
Energy Management System Interface with Load Shedding Option

All units have a switch on the auxiliary control panel to allow the indoor fan to continue operating if the unit is connected to an Energy Management System that shuts off compressor or heater operation. By allowing the indoor fan to run when the heater or compressor is shut off by the Energy Management System, the guest is less likely to realize the operation of the unit has been altered. This helps reduce peak energy demand loads without disturbing the room occupant.
Heat Sentinel
The property owner may choose to activate the Heat Sentinel feature on the Zoneline. If the Heat Sentinel is activated and room temperature reaches 85F 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 80F. 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 40 or 50 angle to provide better air distribution. Angle is changed by removing room front and screws holding louver in place, and rotating louver section.
10

Up-Front Air Filters
Two interchangeable up-front filters, easy to remove and reinstall, may be cleaned without opening or removing the room front. Clean filters by brushing, vacuuming or backflushing under faucet or shower head.
ge.com Corrosion Protection (Optional)

2800 and 800 Series units may be ordered with special protection to better withstand damage from salt air and salt water in seacoast areas. Corrosion protection is standard on the 5800 Series and on Dry Air 25 models. Heat Pump units with ICR are not available with corrosion protection and should not be installed in seacoast or corrosive environments. Units installed in corrosive areas should be examined and cleaned more frequently than normal installations.
Easy Clean Air Discharge Area

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. There is no screen directly below discharge louver to trap unsightly dirt and debris where it may be seen by room occupant.
Internal Condensate Removal (ICR)

See page 4 for a discussion of the Internal Condensate Removal system available on 800 and 5800 Series heat pumps.
Enhanced Dehumidification
Moisture removal is an important function of an air conditioner. People are more comfortable at higher temperatures when the humidity level is relatively low. Air conditioners operate with less energy consumption when the room temperatures are set higher. The GE Zoneline 2800 Series with the Dry Air 25 heat pipe application removes 25% more moisture than the base 2800 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 freshersmelling room as a result of the lower humidity levels, as well as lower operating costs.

Central Desk Control

Some installations may want to govern the ability of the unit to operate from a control device remote to the unit or even remote to the room in which the unit is located. The general term given to systems such as this is Central Desk Control. The most common installation of this type of system is a switch mounted at the registration desk and, upon guest check-in, a button is pushed or a switch is moved to allow the air conditioner to operate. Likewise, when the guest checks out the device is put into the OFF position so the unit will not operate while the room is vacant. It is not necessary that the controlling device be located at a central desk to employ a device that will control the unit operation. For instance, in some resort areas devices are connected to sliding glass doors and opening the door causes a contact to close, turning the air conditioner off. This prevents energy being wasted by operating the air conditioner when warm, humid air is entering the room. Some systems operate by motion sensors or heat sensing detectors mounted in the room. These types of systems determine occupant presence in the room and allow the unit to operate; if no one is in the room the device signals the air conditioner to turn off. Zoneline models offer Load-Shedding capabilities on units connected to Central Desk Control Systems. For more information on the models Load-Shedding Feature, see page 10. There is a wide variety of devices available, each with its own benefits and constraints. While GE does not offer components that are external to the unit for a Central Desk Control (CDC) system, GE 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. 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. 4. Recommended wire size must be followed as a minimum requirement. Wire Size #AWG Maximum Allowable Length #22 600 Ft. #20 900 Ft. #18 1500 Ft. #16 2000 Ft. Freeze Sentinel remains operational when the unit is connected to a CDC system. Even if the unit is turned OFF at the central location, if the sensor at the unit detects the low temperature, the electric resistance heaters and the fan will automatically turn on. Connecting the Zoneline 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.

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. . A 24-volt transformer is contained within the Zoneline. No external voltage may be applied to the unit through the CDC terminals. (Voltage on the CDC conductors is 24 volts AC.)

Remote Thermostat Control

In some installations, control of the operation of the unit at a location remote from the unit itself may be desired. A unit mounted high in the wall or over a door, for instance, where the unit-mounted controls are inaccessible, can be connected to a wall-mounted thermostat. Other installations may use remote thermostat control for design or performance enhancement. The unit is connected to the thermostat by low-voltage wiring which permits the operation of the unit to be selected and the temperature sensed at the thermostat. Important Notes: Remote thermostat wiring should not be run through wall case. Thermostat wiring should exit the wall below the unit and enter the unit between room cabinet and chassis. Wire molding may be used to hide thermostat wiring. If a sub-base is used, the thermostat wiring may be concealed by the sub-base. Thermostat wiring should not be run parallel to line voltage wires since induced current may cause erratic operation. All Zoneline 2800, 800 and 5800 Series units are adaptable to Class 2 remote low-voltage thermostat. The only additional field-supplied components are the remote thermostat and wiring necessary to connect it. The controls on the unit are not functional when the remote control function is used.

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. 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. 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. The compressor is used in heat pump operation just as in air conditioning operation. In heat pump operation, the hot refrigerant gas is directed to the indoor coil rather than to the outdoor coil. Room air that circulates over the indoor coil gains heat from the coil rather than losing heat to the coil as during cooling operation. As the outdoor temperature falls, the heat pump is able to extract less heat from the outdoor air to raise the temperature of the indoor air. For this reason, all packaged terminal heat pumps also have electric resistance heaters as backup to heat pump operation. At some point, the heat pump is unable to provide sufficient heat to adequately warm the room. Many Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps cease heat pump operation and change to more expensive resistance heat at some pre-determined outdoor temperature to compensate for the inability of the heat pump to maintain room temperature. This point, called the switchover point, is usually at an outdoor temperature where savings from heat pump operation may still be realized, if the unit is designed to maintain room comfort at the lower outdoor temperatures.
Balance Point
An important consideration 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. 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.

Heat Pumps and Energy Savings

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. 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.
ge.com
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 42-4 for information on power connection kits and available heater capacities. A heat pump switch is provided in the auxiliary controls to allow the unit to operate only in resistance heat. The use of this option significantly increases the cost for heating.
Heat pump defrost Zoneline 800 and 5800 Series

Zoneline heat pumps utilize a reverse-cycle demand defrost system to extend heat pump operation and increase savings from extended operation. The microprocessor determines the need for defrosting by criteria based on continuous compressor running time, outdoor air temperature, outdoor coil temperature and the rate of temperature change of the outdoor coil. When defrosting is required, the unit reverses the flow of refrigerant to direct the hot gas into the outdoor coil to melt the frost 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 68F or the maximum time has been reached.

See page 4 for information on heat pump condensate. The Zoneline 800 Series heat pumps may be ordered with a factory-installed Internal Condensate Removal (ICR) system to minimize the amount of condensate water draining from the unit during heat pump operation. The ICR system has proven to be an effective means of minimizing the amount of heat pump condensate dripping from the unit. However, if the requirements of a particular installation will allow no dripping of condensate water from the wall case, the installation of an internal or external drain system is recommended. Units with ICR may not be installed in seacoast or corrosive environment applications.

*If the Temperature Boost switch (dip switch #8) is in the ON position the supplemental simultaneous heater will be used with heat pump operation. Simultaneous supplemental heater: 1.0 KW @ 20 V; 0.8 KW @ 208V; 1.0 KW @ 265V. The Temperature Boost option utilizes the supplemental simultaneous heater simultaneously with heat pump operation when the outdoor temperature is below 46F 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.

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. Undersizing: If an air conditioner is undersized (cooling capacity is less than required for a specific application), the unit will typically not be able to cool the space down to the desired temperature (thermostat set point), nor be able to remove enough moisture from the air. A result could be a warm and humid or warm and dry conditioned space. Oversizing: If an air conditioner is oversized (cooling capacity is greater than required for the specific application), the unit will typically cool the space down to the desired temperature (thermostat set point) too quickly. The compressor then begins to cycle on and off. Dehumidification only takes place when the compressor is operating. A typical result in a hot/ humid climate could be a cool but excessively humid space. Heating: Undersizing can result in not being able to maintain the desired temperature level within the conditioned space. Wall Covering: Use of a non-permeable wall covering (some paints, some wallpapers, and other types of coverings) which severely restricts passage of air or water vapor can cause a severe moisture problem. Typical results could be staining of room surfaces, wall damage, as well as mold and mildew growth in hot/humid climates. Air Infiltration: Excessive air infiltration can magnify problems associated with undersizing or oversizing of an air conditioner unit and can be the root cause of insufficient cooling, dehumidification, or heating. Some sources of air infiltration include vents, gaps around windows and doors, and improperly sealed floor, ceiling and wall joints. Recommendation: For the above reasons it is strongly recommended that a professional engineer be retained to match the Zoneline unit with the building structure. 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. 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.

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 the 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 1-/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 RAB711 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. 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 1-7/8" 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 4 for information on RAD10 Drain Kit. RAK901L For installations where the wall case extends into room, RAK901L is an insulation kit that can be used with the RAB77 or any existing non-insulated wall case to minimize the possibility of condensation forming on the indoor side of the case during the winter. 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. Using a sub-base in an installation requiring permanent connection provides a convenient, consistent location for unit wiring to be connected to building wiring. The use of a sub-base is not required, but the convenience and the improved aesthetics it offers makes the use of a sub-base a viable means of permanent connection. RAK204U The RAK204U Series of sub-bases provides a variety of designs that fit the site needs and are available for use with Zoneline PTAC/PTHP units. The RAK204U will most likely be used for support of the wall case and unit. The RAK204U is the same physically as the other sub-bases except there is no receptacle installed. Receptacles and wiring can be field installed and, by using the RAK205CW chaseway and the RAK4002 junction box perform the same function as any of the other sub-base kits by selecting the correct receptacle and installing it in the interior mounting plate inside the RAK204U. 208/20-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-, 0-amp receptacle and wiring. No chaseway is included. RAK205CW chaseway must be ordered separately. The 20/208-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 2800 and 800 Series units; RAK4002B for 5800 Series units) that mounts on the chassis of 20/208-volt sub-base connected units must be purchased separately. RAK204D15P 208/20-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 208/20-volt 20-amp receptacle. Receptacle is NEMA6-20R with 18" of #12AWG wires attached to the receptacle. Short power connection kit included. Chaseway included.
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 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". 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. exterior wall. See pages 0 and 1 for information on this type of installation. The unit may be installed high in the wall and these installations usually require a remote thermostat and are discussed on pages 15 and 16. Regardless of the installation, there are several things to consider when selecting a location for installing the unit. For instance, drapery location could interfere with air discharge, and placement of furniture may have an impact on the performance of the unit. The following information is intended to minimize installation problems and assure you of trouble-free installation. Refer to page 21 for required wall opening dimensions. Minimum recommended interior and exterior case projection 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 page 9. In walls thicker than 1-1/2" 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. 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 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

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
Wall Case Installation Data (Continued) Masonry Wall Construction

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. The wall case should be installed during construction and lintels should be used to support the blocks above the wall case. The wall case will not support the concrete block. The installation instructions show how the wall case must be secured to the masonry and caulked. Do not remove the cardboard stiffener supplied with the wall case until ready to install the chassis. See page 29 for details of installation in masonry wall. For existing masonry construction, wall openings must be made by removing concrete blocks to achieve the proper size opening. Consult the builder, architect, or owner to determine the necessity for lintels to support the block above the wall case. Anchor bolts are normally required to secure the case to the wall and shims may be required to prevent distortion of the wall case when securing the wall case to the wall. Field supplied case angles can be used to position and secure the wall case to the wall and to cover oversized wall openings.
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 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. 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.
Brick, Frame, Stucco and Shingle Construction

For new construction, the opening for the wall case should be framed and the wall case inserted into the opening during construction. Lintels should be used when the building material is heavy and is not self-supporting (such as brick). The wall case will fit an opening of six courses of standard brick or five courses of jumbo brick. Wall framing in this type construction is normally on 16" centers and the wall case will fit a framed opening spanning three 16" O.C. 2" x 4" stud spaces. For existing construction the indoor and outdoor wall will need to be cut out, allowing for clearances of 1/8" on all sides of the wall case. Work should begin on the inside wall. Cut the correct dimensions and mark (using drill holes) the outside wall from each corner of the inside cutout. Studding that interferes with the opening must be removed and a suitable frame constructed to secure the wall case and provide adequate support for case and chassis. As shipped, the RAB71 Series or RAB77 is ready for installation.
Window, Curtain and Panel Wall Construction

With this type of construction, provision for support of the unit, other than by the wall itself, is often required. Such support may be in the form of wood or metallic material of the proper thickness to maintain a level case. This additional support should be located both near the wall and at the front of the wall case. Sub-base (RAK204 Series) with four leveling legs provides an excellent support for the unit in this type of installation. See page 28 for details of this type of installation. In existing construction, common practice is to remove a pane of glass, metal, wood, or other construction material and build a frame around the wall case. Similar filler panel material may be installed around the case for appearance and weather seal.
24
Preparation of the Wall Case for All Types of Construction

Do not remove the stiffener from inside the wall case or the weather closure panel from the outside face of the wall case until the outdoor grille and chassis are ready to be installed. Installation of Wall Case in Wall Opening 1. Position the wall case into the wall. The room side edge of the RAB71 or RAB77 wall case should be at least flush with the finished wall for line cord installations and permanent connection installations when no sub-base is used, and should project into the room at least 2-/8" when a subbase 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. The wall case should be level from side to side and from level to 1/4 bubble tilt to the outdoors. The condensate disposal system in the unit is designed to dissipate the condensate water generated during cooling operation in accordance with ARI standards and actually uses this water for maximum unit efficiency. A level unit will also ensure proper performance of the Internal Condensate Removal (ICR) system optional on heat pump units. 2. The wall case should be secured to the wall at both sides. Use a minimum of two screws or other fastening device on each side. See Figure 2 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 4 for maximum power cord length. Permanent connected units close to finished floor must allow for conduit clearance.
Case Angles
ge.com
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. 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. . 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. 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.

Zoneline units can be installed in walls of greater depth than the wall case. Where the case recession is less than " 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 1. 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.

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.
Heat Pump Condensate Disposal

Since the outdoor coil is cold during heat pump operation, the condensate water cannot be deposited on the outdoor coil as the water would cause frost to form on the coil. This frost would block the airflow through the coil and greatly reduce the outdoor air. Rather than allow this problem to occur, heat pump units must dispose of the condensate in another manner.
Temperature-Activated Drain Valve

The most widely used method of disposing of heat pump condensate is with a Temperature-Activated Drain Valve. This is a device mounted in the base pan of a heat pump unit with a bellows that expands on temperature rise and contracts with temperature drop. A shaft with a rubber plug on the end is connected to the bellows. When the outdoor temperature remains above a certain temperature, the bellows is expanded and the plug fits tightly into a hole in the bottom, or base pan, of the unit. When the plug is blocking the hole, as it should be during cooling operation, the condensate water is contained in the base pan. At temperatures when heating is required, the bellows contracts, the rubber plug is retracted from the hole and the heat pump condensate water is allowed to drain into the wall case. The valve is fully open at 49F.
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. All Zoneline Series Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps utilize a slinger ring for cooling condensate disposal.
Certification Test Requirements

ARI (Air Conditioning & Refrigerating Institute) requires that all certified Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps pass a cooling condensate disposal test. One stipulation of the ARI test is that the test start with condensate collection pan brimful. In order to pass the ARI Condensate Disposal Test the unit must operate continuously for four hours without condensed water blowing, dripping, or running off the unit casing during the test or after the unit has been turned off. Under extremely high outdoor humidity conditions or extreme operating conditions, such as exceptionally high air infiltration (a door or window left open while the unit is running, for instance) it is possible for any air conditioner to be unable to dissipate all the cooling condensate generated. All Zoneline Series Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps meet the condensate disposal requirements of ARI standards 10-9 and 80-9.
Drain Kits
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.
Internal Condensate Removal (ICR) System

GE has developed an Internal Condensate Removal (ICR) System for Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps. This system has been offered as an option on Zoneline Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps since 1982, and thousands of them are in use. During heat pump operation the ICR system utilizes a small pump to lift the water from the base pan and pump it into a collector tray positioned above the indoor coil. The water drains from the collector tray and drips onto the warm indoor coil where it is evaporated into the room atmosphere. If an excess amount of water is pumped to the indoor side, it is routed back to the outdoor portion of the base pan. The ICR system has proven to be an effective means of minimizing the amount of heat pump condensate dripping from the unit. However, if the restrictions of a particular installation will allow absolutely no drippage of condensate water from the wall case, the installation of an internal or external drain system is recommended. Units with ICR may not be installed in seacoast or corrosive environment applications.
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 temperaturerelated, there may be more condensate on days when the relative humidity is high.

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.

Ducted Installations
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 grille that allows air from the unit to be discharged into the primary room and the adapter connects to a duct extension that allows the air to flow to the adjoining room. Ducting a unit may allow a single unit to be used rather than a separate unit in each room, providing a means of reducing initial equipment cost. The duct may extend a total of 15 feet (with a field fabricated insulated duct extension) in one direction, either to the right or to the left of the unit. A baffle in the adapter allows up to 50% of the discharge air to be delivered to the secondary room. The installation of the wall case and sub-base, if used, is the same for units being ducted as for free-standing units. The duct adapter support bracket overlaps the wall case by 1" and the bracket and mounting screws add approximately /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. Refer to pages 8 and 9 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.

RAK601 Duct Extension, Mounting Collar and Register 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. . Minimum recommended clearance between the unit and the adjacent wall is 2". 4. Provisions for return air must be made to allow air circulation from secondary room. Doors in both secondary and primary rooms may be undercut or a return grille may be installed through a common wall. 5. When calculating the heat gain/heat loss take both areas into consideration.
Replacements of Existing Ducted Units

Since the design of the Zoneline chassis has changed over the years to provide better performance and appearance, some of the components used in ducted applications have changed. Select the proper components from the information below. The best procedure in determining the correct kit is to measure duct extension cross section.
New Ducted Installations

Duct Adapter RAK6052
Flat Top-Discharge Units (Zoneline Units Built Prior to 1988)
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 do not exceed the 44" length. Even in single applications the mounting flange must be cut off
Existing Duct Extension Cross Section Measurements: 8-/8" height x 6-1/2" width 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.
Slope-Front Discharge Units (Models With AZC, AZR, AZW, or AZ21 or AZ1 Prefix)
Existing Duct Extension Cross Section Measurements: 7-/2" height x 6-1/2" width Duct Transition RAK7022 This duct transition will allow the replacement of a new slope-front discharge Zoneline chassis (2800 or 800 Series unit) into a previous design slope-front 7 ducted installation.

Exterior Grilles
Four styles of outdoor grilles are available for exterior treatments. The standard stamped aluminum grille (RAG60), the molded architectural louvered exterior grilles (RAG61-6), 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
RAG60 Outdoor Grille RAG60 Outdoor Grille The standard exterior grille is made of durable aluminum to protect chassis components and prevent air recirculation.
RAG67 Extruded Aluminum Grille The RAG67 is made from extruded anodized aluminum for use where an aluminum architectural grille is preferred. The RAG67 is available in a clear finish and may be special ordered from GE in other colors. Minimum order quantities may be required. Contact your General Electric salesperson for details. All grilles are installed and secured to the wall case from the inside. Keyhole slots in the rear flange of the case allow the grille to be placed in position before securing it firmly to the wall case. Replacement of existing units: If an existing grille is not replaced, capacity and efficiency will be reduced and the unit may fail to operate properly or fail prematurely. A deflector kit, RAK40, may be used with grilles that were not designed for current AZ Series GE Zoneline units. The RAK40 contains air deflectors and gaskets that mount to the chassis to direct the hot exhaust air away from the air intake to allow the unit to function properly. All grilles used with GE Zoneline units must comply with requirements of Exterior Architectural Treatments and Special Outdoor Grilles as follows.
RAG61 Outdoor Grille
RAG61, 62, 6 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 RAG61-6 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 RAG6 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 units 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.
Sample Calculations x Free Area (%) = x 100 x = 1" y = 1.5" y 1 F.A. % = 1.5 x 100 = 66.7%

Power Connection for 2800, 800 and 5800 Series Zonelines

All 2800, 800, and 5800 Series Zonelines 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. For 2800 and 800 Series 20/208-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. A line cord kit, shown above under Line-Cord Connected units, must be purchased and modified to allow direct connection to the building wiring. The line cord kit should be cut about 8" from the nine-pin connector. Strip insulation off 5/8" of each conductor to expose wires for field connection. These wires are then connected to the building wiring by field-supplied connectors. For 5800 Series 20/208-volt units, the permanent installation using flexible conduit procedure is the same as for the 2800 and 800 Series units, except the junction box kit is RAK4002B.
20/208-Volt Line-Cord Connected Units

Line Cord Kits consist of a self-aligning nine-pin molded connector that plugs into a mating connector on the Zoneline chassis and insulated line cord with an electrical plug on the end. The configuration of the electrical plug conforms to NEC standards for the circuit amperage and the position of the wires in the nine-pin connector determines the heater wattage and current requirements when it is plugged into the Zoneline chassis. The power connection kit is selected by the amperage of the circuit where it will be installed. Each line cord kit has an integral Leakage Current Detection and Interruption (LCDI) or Arc Fault Current Interrupter (AFCI) device as required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) for line-cord connected air conditioners manufactured 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. Since 265-volt units may not be line cord connected, an LCDI device is not required.

20/208-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 20/208-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 20/208-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.

Essential Elements Ordering Overview

20/208-volt line-cord connected units order line cord kit. 20/208-volt sub-base connected units order sub-base (includes power connection kit) and junction box for chassis. 265-volt units order sub-base and power connection kit separately.
Permanent 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 2800/800/5800 Series

All Zonelines are single-phase 60 hertz units. For all installations, the feeder, sub-feeder, branch circuit and electrical protective devices and selection must conform to the National Electrical Code and to local codes. Maximum connected load in amperes, including demands for the electric heater and the fan motor, are shown on page 44. Branch circuit ampacity and electrical protective device sizing are shown on page 42 for 20/208-volt units and on this page for 265-volt units. More than one unit per branch circuit is not recommended. When in doubt, consult the National Electrical Code. All wiring, including installation of receptacle, must conform to local electrical regulations and codes.
Replacement of Existing Chassis

20/208-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. Enclosure cover removed. RAK4002A Wiring harness can be ordered separately as RAK4002CW.

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 95F dry bulb/75F wet bulb outdoors; 80F dry bulb/67F 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:

Heating* Heat Loss KW x Heating Degree Days x C x Cost Per KWH = Operating Cost 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).
The local power supplier should be consulted for recommended value of C. This factor will vary between 17 and 24. Calculated Heat Gain (BTUH) Unit Cooling Watts Cooling x= x Cooling Hours x Cost per KWH = Operating Cost Installed unit capacity (BTUH) 1000 Watts/KW

20/208-Volt sub-bases include appropriate power cord kit. 265-Volt units are to be direct connected. Cordset through enclosed chaseway into interior sub-base receptacle meets the NEC requirements.
Power connection kits are required on all Zoneline chassis (see chart below).
The correct kit for the installation is determined by the voltage and amperage of the electrical circuit and the means of connecting the unit to the building wiring. If the unit is to be plugged into a receptacle, a line cord kit would be used; if the unit is to be permanently connected, a permanent connection kit would be used. 265-volt cord set units must be installed in compliance with National Electrical Code.
Power connection kits required on all models. See specification sheet for heater KW and branch circuit ampacity.

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 Freeze Sentinel. 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.
ge.com
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.
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 20-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.
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, 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. If the chassis being replaced has a model number that begins with AZ22E, AZ22, AZ25, AZ2, AZ2H or AZ5, the new 2800 or 800 Series unit can be installed using the same components that were used for the 2200 or 200 Series unit. 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. 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 when GE-built components were used in the original installation. 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.
