The Zoneline® 2800, 800 and 5800 Series have incorporated changes suggested by customers, along withenhancements 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 guestswith 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.
Deluxe Dry Air 25 ModelsCooling With Resistance Heat
• Remove 25% More Moisture than other Zoneline Models,up to 2.7 Additional Gallons Per Day
• Cool and Dry Air in Less Time than Standard Zoneline Models
• Heat Pipe is a Separate Sealed Refrigerant System
— No Mechanical Parts — No Special Maintenance Required
• Helps Maintain Lower Relative Humidity In Rooms
• Maintains Comfort at Slightly Higher Room Temperatures
— Reduces Operating Costs — Provides Comfort WithoutOvercooling
• 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 sealedheat transfer surface installed in a “saddlebag” configurationaround the indoor (evaporator) coil of the Zoneline. This coil
arrangement will transfer heat from the front coil of thesaddlebag to the rear coil without power consumption.This assembly uses R-22 as the refrigerant and is notconnected 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 isabsorbed by the refrigerant, causing the refrigerant to changeto a gas and flow to the re-heat (rear) section of the heatpipe. The air leaving the pre-cool section of the heat pipe iscooler and at a higher relative humidity level than the roomair. The pre-cooled air is further cooled as it passes throughthe evaporator; consequently, the relative humidity increasesallowing the evaporator coil to remove more moisture.
When the cold air from the evaporator comes in contactwith the re-heat section of the heat pipe, the heat that wasremoved by the pre-cool section is added back to the air andthe refrigerant in the heat pipe condenses and flows backto the indoor coil. The air discharged into the room by thisprocess is much drier, creating a more comfortable roomcondition.
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 PipeTechnology, Inc. This innovative NASA spin-off technologyenables Dry Air 25 to remove 25% more moisture from theair than other leading manufacturers’ packaged terminal airconditioners. This helps maintain room comfort at a higherroom temperature, reducing operating costs.
The Dry Air 25 keeps a room cool and dry, and this is themost 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 humidityis just as important as the heat, and the Dry Air 25 is theperfect solution. The dehumidification of the Dry Air 25 hasbeen verified by the same ARI test conditions that standardunits are rated under. A list of customers using Dry Air 25 isavailable from GE.

5800 Series — touch pad controls with digital readout of temperature set point.
Highly Featured Microprocessor Controls
Microprocessor controls are programmed to interface withthe temperature sensors to maximize comfort conditions forthe room occupant and provide outstanding features.
Thermistors are used to sense small changes in temperatureto give excellent room control and allow the microprocessorto monitor and react to changing conditions.
Electric Resistance Heat Lock-Out
To maximize the savings of the heat pump operation, theZoneline heat pumps do not utilize the resistance heaterwhen the outdoor temperature is above 46°F during normaloperation. The resistance heat is used in the Quick HeatRecovery feature.
Automatic Emergency Heat
Automatically uses electric resistance heat if the heatpump output is not suff icient to maintain selectedroom temperature.
Reverse Cycle Heat Pump Defrost System
Standard on all Zoneline 800 and 5800 Series heat pumps
Enables heat pump to operate at lower temperatureswhen other systems switch to more expensive electricresistance heat.
See pages 18 and 19 for discussion of heat pump operationand defrost systems.
High Temperature Heat Pump Operation Protection
Automatically protects the compressor if heat pump isoperated with high outdoor temperatures.
Power to the outdoor fan is turned off if the indoor coil getstoo hot during heat pump operation to prevent damage tothe compressor.
Quick Heat Recovery – Heat Pump Units
When the unit operation is changed from STOP or COOL toHEAT, the electric resistance heaters are used to warm theroom 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. Thisenables the technician to determine if individual componentare functioning properly.
Service Indicator
On the 5800 Series, if the microprocessor detects acompressor malfunction, the digital temperature displaywill blink. If the malfunction occurs during cooling operationthe indoor fan will continue to operate. If the compressor
malfunctions in heating mode, the unit will automaticallyswitch to resistance heat to maintain room temperature sepoint. GE Service should be called to check the Zoneline.
Fan Motors – Permanently Lubricated
All units have two fan motors for quiet operation andmaximum operating efficiency.
Motors are permanently lubricated to reduce maintenanceand totally enclosed to keep dirt and water out of the motowindings.
2-Speed Outdoor Fan
The unit automatically selects the most efficient speed for
the outdoor fan. The operating sound level is lower when thoutdoor fan can operate in low speed yet there are situationwhere it must operate in high speed. The unit changes thefan speed automatically.
Indoor Fan Speed Selections – HIGH/LOW
Unit may be operated in HIGH HEAT or LOW HEAT or HIGHCOOL or LOW COOL.
8/3/2019 800 Series Data Manual
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/800-series-data-manual 10/6010
Features and Benefits
Fan-Only Setting – HIGH/LOW
The unit provides the option of selecting either HIGH or LOWspeed for Fan-Only operation.
Fan-Cycle Switch – “SmartFan”
Unique “SmartFan” allows unit to operate fan continuous incooling operation and fan cycle in heating to provide better
guest comfort. Eliminates complaint of cold air draft duringheating operation.
Eliminates need of changing fan-cycle switch seasonally.
“SmartFan” settings are controlled by two dip switches onauxiliary control panel.
Compressor Random Restart
In the event of a power failure, all compressors attemptingto restart immediately when power is restored can resultin a power surge that can cause another power interruption.
The microprocessors in the Zonelines have a random restartlogic system that prevents all units from starting at the
same time.
Rotary Compressor
Smoother operation for quiet, dependable service. GE hasused rotary compressors since 1961.
Compressor Restart Delay
Zonelines are designed to provide a minimum of threeminutes of compressor off time to allow refrigerant pressuresto equalize before restarting to prevent compressor damage.
Zonelines are also designed to provide a minimum of threeminutes of compressor run time to prevent room occupantdisturbance due to short-cycling of the air conditioner.
Freeze Sentinel™
Detects low room temperature and turns on heater tohelp protect against damage caused by freezing roomtemperature.
Heater turns on at 41°F and warms indoor thermistortemperature to 46°F and shuts off.
Freeze Sentinel may be turned off by dip switch onauxiliary control.
Heat Sentinel
The property owner may choose to activate the Heat
Sentinel feature on the Zoneline. If the Heat Sentinel isactivated and room temperature reaches 85°F while theunit is in the “STOP” setting, the unit will automatically startin air conditioning operation and will shut off when the roomtemperature reaches 80°F. This will help dehumidify the airand lower high temperatures so the guest will not be enteringan extremely hot room.
Indoor Coil Frost Control
Prevents indoor coil from freezingand causing complaints due to lackof cooling. Frost can form on theindoor coil when the unit is operatedin cooling when outdoor temperaturesare low. The unit automatically shuts
the compressor off until the indoor coiltemperature warms to the point wherefrosting will no longer occur.
Transfer Fan Interface
24 VAC terminals are provided to operate a relay to controla fan mounted in a wall to move conditioned air intoanother space. The electrical power for the operation of thetransfer fan itself is not provided by the Zoneline. Transferfans and their controlling relays are field supplied.
Electronic Temperature Limiting
Seven independent programmable heating temperature limits
and seven independent programmable cooling temperaturelimits. Eliminates need to reset the limits seasonally.

Energy Management System Interface withLoad Shedding Option
All units have a switch on the auxiliary control panel toallow the indoor fan to continue operating if the unit is
connected to an Energy Management System that shutsoff compressor or heater operation. By allowing the indoorfan to run when the heater or compressor is shut off bythe Energy Management System, the guest is less likely torealize the operation of the unit has been altered. This helpsreduce peak energy demand loads without disturbing theroom occupant.
Reversible Indoor Air Louvers
Allows air to be directed into room at 40º or 50º angle toprovide better air distribution.
Angle is changed by removing room front and screwsholding louver in place, and rotating louver section.

An open vent door brings unconditioned outdoor air into theroom, increasing heating and cooling costs.
Positive vent door closure prevents accidental opening andunwanted air infiltration.
Corrosion Protection (Optional)
2800 and 800 Series units may be ordered with specialprotection to better withstand damage from salt air andsalt water in seacoast areas.
Corrosion protection is standard on the 5800 Series andon Dry Air 25 models.
Heat Pump units with ICR are not available with corrosionprotection and should not be installed in seacoast orcorrosive environments.
Units installed in corrosive areas should be examined andcleaned more frequently than normal installations.
Internal Condensate Removal (ICR)
See page 4 for a discussion of the Internal CondensateRemoval system available on 800 and 5800 Series heat pump
Enhanced Dehumidification
Moisture removal is an important function of an airconditioner. People are more comfortable at higher
temperatures when the humidity level is relatively low.Air conditioners operate with less energy consumptionwhen the room temperatures are set higher.
The GE Zoneline® 2800 Series with the Dry Air 25 heat pipeapplication removes 25% more moisture than the base2800 Series unit.

Central Desk Control
Some installations may want to govern the ability of the unitto operate from a control device remote to the unit or evenremote to the room in which the unit is located. The generalterm given to systems such as this is Central Desk Control.The most common installation of this type of system is aswitch mounted at the registration desk and, upon guestcheck-in, a button is pushed or a switch is moved to allow
the air conditioner to operate. Likewise, when the guestchecks out the device is put into the “OFF” position so theunit will not operate while the room is vacant.
It is not necessary that the controlling device be locatedat a central desk to employ a device that will control theunit operation. For instance, in some resort areas devicesare connected to sliding glass doors and opening the doorcauses a contact to close, turning the air conditioner off.This prevents energy being wasted by operating the airconditioner when warm, humid air is entering the room.Some systems operate by motion sensors or heat sensingdetectors mounted in the room. These types of systemsdetermine occupant presence in the room and allow the
unit to operate; if no one is in the room the device signalsthe air conditioner to turn off.
Zoneline® models offer Load-Shedding capabilities onunits connected to Central Desk Control Systems. For moreinformation on the models’ Load-Shedding Feature, seepage 10.
There is a wide variety of devices available, each withits own benefits and constraints. While GE does not offercomponents that are external to the unit for a Central DeskControl (CDC) system, GE Zonelines are compatible with mostCDC and Energy Management systems. Zonelines provide a24 VAC circuit that powers the Central Desk Control system
and no external power is needed.All Zoneline 2800, 800, and 5800 Series units are compatiblewith simple on/off 2-wire Central Desk Control systems.Consult with the provider of other energy managementsystems to be sure they are compatible with the GE Zoneline.Zonelines have standard connectors factory-installed toprovide a CDC interface that permits the unit to be connectedto most of the energy management systems. The devicesconnected to the Zoneline units require no power supply ortransformers 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 switchpanel) in the wiring. Both wires comprising the circuit mustconnect to the unit connectors and to the controllingswitch. Running one wire from one unit to another unit iscommon bussing and may damage internal componentsor cause erratic operation of the system.
. A 24-volt transformer is contained within the Zoneline.No external voltage may be applied to the unit throughthe CDC terminals. (Voltage on the CDC conductors is24 volts AC.)
4. Recommended wire size must be followed as a minimumrequirement.
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 isconnected to a CDC system. Even if the unit is turned “OFF” atthe central location, if the sensor at the unit detects the lowtemperature, the electric resistance heaters and the fan willautomatically turn on.
Connecting the Zoneline to a CDC system does not eliminatethe ability to connect the unit to a remote thermostat.Once the circuit is “opened,” and control of the unit removedfrom the CDC system, the selected controls - either the unitmounted control or the remote thermostat - govern theoperation of the unit.

Remote Thermostat Control
In some installations, control of the operation of the unit ata location remote from the unit itself may be desired. A unitmounted high in the wall or over a door, for instance, wherethe unit-mounted controls are inaccessible, can be connectedto a wall-mounted thermostat. Other installations may useremote thermostat control for design or performanceenhancement. The unit is connected to the thermostat by
low-voltage wiring which permits the operation of the unit tobe selected and the temperature sensed at the thermostat.
Important Notes: Remote thermostat wiring should not berun through wall case. Thermostat wiring should exit thewall below the unit and enter the unit between room cabinetand chassis. Wire molding may be used to hide thermostatwiring. If a sub-base is used, the thermostat wiring may beconcealed by the sub-base. Thermostat wiring should not berun parallel to line voltage wires since induced current maycause erratic operation.
All Zoneline 2800, 800 and 5800 Series units are adaptableto Class 2 remote low-voltage thermostat. The only additionalfield-supplied components are the remote thermostat andwiring necessary to connect it.
The controls on the unit are not functional when the remotecontrol function is used.

Heat Pumps and Energy Savings
• GE Zoneline® Heat Pumps are designed to providecost-efficient heat pump operation while monitoringroom conditions to maintain comfort.
The units employ a logic system monitoring both outdoorand indoor temperatures to determine the heat source, thusincreasing energy savings by operating longer in the heatpump mode.
Heat pumps save energy and cost less to operate thanunits with electric resistance heaters as the only heat source.Just as the EER of an air conditioner is an indication of theefficiency of the unit, COP (Coefficient of Performance) is theindication of the efficiency of the heat pump. This relativeefficiency of a heat pump compares the unit to electricresistance heat. If a unit has a COP of .0, it means theunit will produce three times as much heat at ratingconditions for the same electrical input wattage usedfor electric resistance heat.
The compressor is used in heat pump operation just asin 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 theindoor coil gains heat from the coil rather than losing heatto the coil as during cooling operation.
As the outdoor temperature falls, the heat pump is able toextract less heat from the outdoor air to raise the temperatureof the indoor air. For this reason, all packaged terminal heatpumps also have electric resistance heaters as backup to heatpump operation. At some point, the heat pump is unable toprovide sufficient heat to adequately warm the room. ManyPackaged Terminal Heat Pumps cease heat pump operationand change to more expensive resistance heat at somepre-determined outdoor temperature to compensate forthe inability of the heat pump to maintain room temperature.
This point, called the “switchover point,” is usually at anoutdoor temperature where savings from heat pumpoperation may still be realized, if the unit is designed tomaintain room comfort at the lower outdoor temperatures.
Balance PointAn important consideration of the selection of a heat pumpunit is the “balance point” of the installation. Virtually everyroom is unique — with different insulation — different sizesand types of windows — different types of construction— different directional exposures. All of these variables, aswell as geographical location, must be considered in order to
determine the balance point, the point at which the heat pumpis unable to produce enough heat to compensate for the heatloss of the room or area being heated. For these reasons aconsulting engineer should be engaged to calculate the heatloss and specify the heat pump unit required.
GE offers two series of Zoneline Heat Pump units — the800 Series with Standard Microprocessor controls and the5800 Series with Highly Featured Microprocessor controls— and both series react to the indoor temperature as wellas the outdoor temperature in determining the heat sourceto provide comfortable room conditions and energy savings.This determination of the heat source based on the indoortemperature 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 simultaneouselectric resistance heat or electric resistance heat.
Zoneline heat pumps employ a highly featured microprocessorcontrol system interfaced with thermistors to accuratelymeasure indoor air temperature, outdoor air temperature,indoor coil temperature and outdoor coil temperature. Thissystem allows the microprocessor to precisely and predictablyreact to changing conditions in order to provide a veryadvanced Packaged Terminal Heat Pump operating system.
The Zoneline heat pumps are designed to help ensure acomfortable room. When “HEAT” is selected, the unit willdetermine if the room air is warm enough to satisfy thethermostat setting. If the temperature at the unit sensoris below the desired temperature, the electric resistanceheater will be utilized to warm the room to the point wherethe thermostat is satisfied. This feature is designed to allowthe temperature of an unoccupied room to be maintained
at an energy-saving level without inconveniencing the roomoccupant. Once the thermostat has been satisfied, theresistance heater will turn off and the heat pump will operateas shown in the Heat Source Logic chart until the thermostatcalls for heat again. The unit will operate in this manner evenif connected to a Central Desk Control.

The “Temperature Boost” option utilizes the supplementalsimultaneous heater simultaneously with heat pumpoperation when the outdoor temperature is below 46°Fregardless of the indoor air temperature. The chart aboveindicates the heat source of the heat pump under variousindoor and outdoor conditions. The unit is designed toprovide heat pump savings without sacrificing room comfort.
The Quick Heat Recovery feature is not affected by the HeaSource Logic shown in the chart above. For more informatioabout the Quick Heat Recovery Feature, see page 9. Thefull heat output of the resistance heater is dependent uponcircuit amperage and the power connection kit used. Seepages and 42-4 for information on power connection kitand available heater capacities.
A heat pump switch is provided in the auxiliary controls toallow the unit to operate only in resistance heat. The use ofthis option significantly increases the cost for heating.
Heat pump defrost — Zoneline 800 and 5800 Series
Zoneline heat pumps utilize a reverse-cycle demand defrossystem to extend heat pump operation and increasesavings from extended operation. The microprocessordetermines the need for defrosting by criteria basedon continuous compressor running time, outdoor airtemperature, outdoor coil temperature and the rate of temperature change of the outdoor coil. When defrostingis required, the unit reverses the flow of refrigerant to direc
the hot gas into the outdoor coil to melt the frost build-up.Before and after the reverse-cycle defrosting, the unit shutsoff the compressor to allow the refrigerant pressuresto equalize throughout the system. This eliminates thepossibility of a loud reversing noise. During these periodsof pressure equalization, the full resistance heat capacityof the unit is activated to help ensure room comfortconditions during the defrost cycle. The unit remains inthe defrost cycle for a minimum of two minutes up to amaximum of nine minutes. The defrost cycle terminateswhen the outdoor coil reaches a temperature of 68°F or themaximum time has been reached.
Heat pump condensateSee page 4 for information on heat pump condensate.The Zoneline 800 Series heat pumps may be ordered witha factory-installed Internal Condensate Removal (ICR) systemto minimize the amount of condensate water draining fromthe unit during heat pump operation. The ICR system hasproven to be an effective means of minimizing the amount oheat pump condensate dripping from the unit. However, if threquirements of a particular installation will allow no drippinof condensate water from the wall case, the installation of ainternal or external drain system is recommended.
Units with ICR may not be installed in seacoast or corrosiveenvironment applications.

Application Comments
Use and Care Manual and installation instructions areshipped with Zoneline® units. It is important that any airconditioning system be properly sized and applied in orderto achieve the desired temperature and humidity levels withthe space to be conditioned. Air conditioners are designedprimarily to provide heating and cooling with the additionalbenefit that during operation in the cooling mode, the units
also remove some moisture from the conditioned space.The following are some brief application comments onundersizing, oversizing, heating, wall coverings, and airinfiltration: all are important in the proper matching of theheating/air conditioning system to the building structure.
Undersizing: If an air conditioner is undersized (coolingcapacity is less than required for a specific application), theunit will typically not be able to cool the space down to thedesired temperature (thermostat set point), nor be able toremove enough moisture from the air. A result could be awarm and humid or warm and dry conditioned space.
Oversizing: If an air conditioner is oversized (cooling capacityis greater than required for the specific application), the unitwill typically cool the space down to the desired temperature(thermostat set point) too quickly. The compressor thenbegins to cycle on and off. Dehumidification only takes placewhen 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 maintainthe desired temperature level within the conditioned space.
Wall Covering: Use of a non-permeable wall covering (somepaints, some wallpapers, and other types of coverings) whichseverely restricts passage of air or water vapor can cause asevere 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 magnifyproblems associated with undersizing or oversizing of anair conditioner unit and can be the root cause of insufficientcooling, dehumidification, or heating. Some sources of airinfiltration include vents, gaps around windows and doors,and improperly sealed floor, ceiling and wall joints.
Recommendation: For the above reasons it is stronglyrecommended that a professional engineer be retainedto match the Zoneline unit with the building structure.
Air Distribution
Zoneline packaged terminal air conditioners and heat pumpsdischarge air from the top of the unit through reversible2-position discharge louvers. Unit discharge louvers arereversed by removing the room cabinet from the unit,removing seven screws that hold the louver section inplace, removing the louver section and rotating it end forend, reinstalling the louver section in the room cabinet withthe seven screws, and reinstalling the room cabinet on theunit. The unit is shipped from the factory with the dischargelouvers at an angle of 50° off vertical. In the alternateposition, 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-gaugegalvanized steel and finished with a protective baked-enamelfinish for protection and appearance. Design of the caseprovides for support of the chassis and free draining of anywater entering the wall case. A petroleum microcrystallinewax 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 theoriginal wall case for GE Zonelines built in 1961. The RAB71wall case is also available in depths other than the standarddepth. 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 insulatedand have sheet metal dividers, or splitters, to prevent therecirculation of condenser discharge air.
RAB77 — This non-insulated wall case is molded fromfiberglass-reinforced polyester compound. This SMC(Sheet-Molded Compound) wall case offers outstandingstrength, durability, color retention, water integrity andcorrosion resistance. The dimensions of the RAB77 wallcase are: 42-1/8" wide by 16-1/4" high by 1-7/8" deep.
• Both wall cases are of universal design, accepting allZoneline chassis of current design as well as all GE Zonelinechassis produced since 1961.
• Drain holes are provided in the rear of the wall case topermit excessive cooling condensate water, heat pumpcondensate or precipitation entering the wall case to drainfreely. A drain kit may be connected to the wall case tocontrol any water draining from the wall case. See page4 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 theRAB77 or any existing non-insulated wall case to minimizethe possibility of condensation forming on the indoor side of the case during the winter.
Sub-Base
The sub-base is an optional accessory for the Zonelineand is presented with the wall case information since thedecision to use or not to use a sub-base in the installationis a factor in the location of the wall opening for the unit.National Electrical Code® requires that air conditioning unitsconnected to voltages in excess of 250 volts be “permanently
connected.” There are also some installations where unitsconnected to voltage sources under 250 volts may alsoneed to be “permanently connected.” If you are in doubtabout the requirements for a particular installation, consultArticle 440 of the NEC or the local electrical inspector. Theserequirements are designed to protect personal safety andshould be strictly followed. Although NEC is cited here as areference, all electrical wiring and installations must conformto any and all local electrical codes and regulations.
“Permanent Connection” generally means wiring to the unitmust be contained in an enclosed “chaseway,” where accessto the wiring connections is more restrictive than a normalline cord plugged into a receptacle. NEC requirements maybe met by using flexible or rigid conduit to contain the wiringbetween the unit and a junction box that contains the wiringconnections. 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 thestructure but only approved connectors may be used outsidethe 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 permanentconnection provides a convenient, consistent location forunit wiring to be connected to building wiring. The use of a sub-base is not required, but the convenience and theimproved aesthetics it offers makes the use of a sub-basea viable means of permanent connection.
RAK204U — The RAK204U Series of sub-bases provides avariety of designs that fit the site needs and are availablefor use with Zoneline PTAC/PTHP units. The RAK204U willmost likely be used for support of the wall case and unit.The RAK204U is the same physically as the other sub-basesexcept there is no receptacle installed. Receptacles andwiring can be field installed and, by using the RAK205CWchaseway and the RAK4002 junction box perform the samefunction as any of the other sub-base kits by selecting thecorrect receptacle and installing it in the interior mountingplate inside the RAK204U.
208/20-volt receptacles can also be mounted in the coverplate for easy access when direct connect wiring is notrequired. 265-volt units are to be “Permanently (or Direct)
Connected” and the external receptacle (when wiring is notenclosed in a chaseway) does not meet this requirement.A knockout for a fuseholder or a disconnect is also providedin the cover plate.
RAK204U — No receptacle, no wiring, will accept any15-, 20-, 0-amp receptacle and wiring. No chaseway isincluded. RAK205CW chaseway must be ordered separately.
The 20/208-volt sub-bases below include a short,sub-base power connection kit. Since sub-base connectedunits are not considered to be line-cord connected, aLeakage Current Detection and Interruption or Arc FaultCurrent Interrupter device is not necessary.
The junction box (RAK4002A for 2800 and 800 Seriesunits; RAK4002B for 5800 Series units) that mounts onthe chassis of 20/208-volt sub-base connected unitsmust be purchased separately.
RAK204D15P 208/20-volt 15-amp receptacle. Receptacleis NEMA6-20R with 18" of #12AWG wires attached tothe receptacle. Short power connection kit included.Chaseway included.
RAK204D20P 208/20-volt 20-amp receptacle. Receptacleis NEMA6-20R with 18" of #12AWG wires attached tothe receptacle. Short power connection kit included.Chaseway included.

RAK204E0 265-volt 0-amp receptacle. Receptacle isNEMA7-0R with 18" of #12AWG wires attached to thereceptacle. Chaseway included.
The junction box for 265-volt units is shipped with the
chassis since all 265-volt units are to be “Permanently(or Direct) Connected.”
The Power Connection Kit is not included
There are separate internal compartments to permitseparation of low voltage (Class 2) connections from linevoltage connections as required by NEC. Conduit containingbuilding wiring enters the sub-base through knockoutslocated in the rear or bottom of the sub-base and is notaccessible 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 thebottom front flange of the wall case. It attaches to the RAB77
wall case with clips that fit over molded ribs without requiringthe use of screws into the wall case. See page for illustration.Since the sub-base extends under the wall case, clearancefrom the inner edge of the wall case to the finished wall mustbe 2-/8" or greater. The sub-base has 4 leveling legs andadjustable side channels to enable the area under the wallcase to be enclosed. Clearance from the bottom edge of thewall case to the finished floor must be between " and 5".
The sub-base may be used as support for the chassis andwall case in installations where the wall is of insufficientthickness to provide secure mounting of the wall case.
Wall Case Installation DataGeneral
Generally, Zoneline units are installed " to 5" above thefloor (flush to finished floor installation is possible) as nearto the center of the room as possible; underneath a windowor a glass panel is typical. Normal installation of the wallcase allows installation flexibility; from flush with thefinished interior wall to a minimum of 1/4" of the wall caseextending beyond the finished exterior of the building. Specialconsideration must be given to installations where the wallcase does not extend a minimum of 1/4" beyond the finished
exterior wall. See pages 0 and 1 for information on this typof installation. The unit may be installed high in the wall andthese installations usually require a remote thermostat andare discussed on pages 15 and 16.
Regardless of the installation, there are several things toconsider when selecting a location for installing the unit.For instance, drapery location could interfere with air
discharge, and placement of furniture may have an impacton the performance of the unit. The following informationis 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 projectiofor standard wall thicknesses are shown in the drawings inthis manual. The case may be installed flush with the finisheindoor wall. Special attention must be paid to room-side casprojection when the unit is installed in a ducted applicationas 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 instaa field-fabricated case extension or use one of the specialorder RAB71 deep wall cases. If you are unable to locate a locasource for case extensions, please contact your salesperson foa possible supplier. Such extension must be carefully flashedand sealed both to the wall case and to the wall to ensurewater integrity. This is necessary to ensure that any waterentering the wall case, either from operation of the unit or fromother sources, such as rain storms or from washing the exterioof the building, will drain from the case without the possibility ocapillary action drawing the water into either the room or thewall cavity. In an installation where the case is recessed lessthan " from the outside surface, flashing and sealing may be
all the modification necessary. In such an installation, the sideand top of the wall opening must be waterproof to preventmoisture from seeping into and damaging the walls. See page0 and 1 for suggested detail. Since the installation of a caseextension requires a considerable amount of attention, werecommend using one of the deep wall cases if the standardcase is not of sufficient depth.
Mounting an outdoor grille or louver section to the buildingface may cause a space between the outdoor coil and thelouver section. Air splitters, aligned with the ends of theoutdoor coil, must be installed between the outdoor coil inleand outlet air streams. Gaps between the outdoor coil andthe louver section may allow condenser air recirculation andaffect the operation of the unit. See page 41 for requirementfor custom louver sections.
The wall case should be level from side to side andfrom level to 1/4 bubble tilt to the outdoors. Thecondensate disposal system in the unit is designedto dissipate the condensate water generatedduring cooling operation in accordance with ARIstandards and actually uses this water for maximumunit efficiency. A level unit will also ensure properperformance of the Internal Condensate Removal (ICR)system optional on heat pump units.

Wall Case Installation Data (Continued)
For new construction, early planning with the architect isnecessary. Unit location, electrical connection locations, andwall openings of the proper dimensions are essential to avoidthe necessity of rework, fillers, framing, moving electricaloutlets, 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 constructionmay involve removal of building material from the structure,locating the wall case must be done correctly.
Architectural Window/
Louver Installation
Many installations utilize an architectural window/louvercombination to enhance the exterior appearance of thebuilding. The exterior grille for the air conditioner is builtas an integral part of the window frame. An internal drainsystem is highly recommended for these installations (see
page 6). When this type of installation is made, there mustbe provision in the grille work for condensate water to drainto the exterior and not be routed back into the interior of the building or into the wall cavity. Failure to allow for thedrainage of condensate water can cause extensive damageto structural components. The problems associated with thelack of condensate drain consideration often show up shortlyafter the air conditioners are turned on in a new building.New buildings that have been virtually wide open duringconstruction have a significant amount of moisture in the airand in the building components that the air conditioners startremoving as they operate. The free area in the louver sectionmust also comply with the requirements shown on page 41.
The wall case should be anchored to the architecturalwindow/louver section to reduce air infiltration andexcessive vibration of the chassis and wall case during unitoperation. Field-fabricated and installed case angles arethe recommended method of securing the wall case to thewindow/louver framework.
Window, Curtain and Panel
Wall Construction
With this type of construction, provision for support of the
unit, other than by the wall itself, is often required. Suchsupport may be in the form of wood or metallic material of the proper thickness to maintain a level case. This additionalsupport should be located both near the wall and at the frontof the wall case. Sub-base (RAK204 Series) with four levelinglegs 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 apane of glass, metal, wood, or other construction materialand build a frame around the wall case. Similar filler panelmaterial may be installed around the case for appearanceand weather seal.
Masonry Wall Construction
The wall case should be installed during construction andlintels should be used to support the blocks above the wallcase. The wall case will not support the concrete block.The installation instructions show how the wall case mustbe secured to the masonry and caulked. Do not remove thecardboard stiffener supplied with the wall case until readyto install the chassis. See page 29 for details of installationin masonry wall.
For existing masonry construction, wall openings must bemade by removing concrete blocks to achieve the propersize opening. Consult the builder, architect, or owner todetermine the necessity for lintels to support the blockabove the wall case.
Anchor bolts are normally required to secure the case tothe wall and shims may be required to prevent distortion of the wall case when securing the wall case to the wall. Fieldsupplied case angles can be used to position and secure thewall case to the wall and to cover oversized wall openings.
Brick, Frame, Stucco andShingle Construction
For new construction, the opening for the wall case shouldbe framed and the wall case inserted into the opening duringconstruction. Lintels should be used when the buildingmaterial is heavy and is not self-supporting (such as brick).The wall case will fit an opening of six courses of standardbrick or five courses of jumbo brick. Wall framing in thistype construction is normally on 16" centers and the wallcase will fit a framed opening spanning three 16" O.C. 2" x 4"stud spaces.
For existing construction the indoor and outdoor wall willneed to be cut out, allowing for clearances of 1/8" on all sidesof the wall case. Work should begin on the inside wall. Cut thecorrect dimensions and mark (using drill holes) the outsidewall from each corner of the inside cutout. Studding thatinterferes with the opening must be removed and a suitableframe constructed to secure the wall case and provideadequate support for case and chassis.
As shipped, the RAB71 Series or RAB77 is ready forinstallation.
8/3/2019 800 Series Data Manual

ge.com
Do not remove the stiffener from inside the wall case or theweather closure panel from the outside face of the wall caseuntil 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 withthe finished wall for line cord installations and permanentconnection installations when no sub-base is used, andshould project into the room at least 2-/8" when a sub-base is used. If the minimum exterior dimensions are notmet, refer to page 27 and 28. The outside edge of the wallcase should extend at least 1/4" beyond the outside wall.This is necessary for proper caulking, to prevent sealingthe drain holes in the rear flange of the wall case, and tofacilitate the installation of an accessory drain, if used.
The wall case should be level from side to side andfrom level to 1/4 bubble tilt to the outdoors. The
condensate disposal system in the unit is designedto dissipate the condensate water generatedduring cooling operation in accordance with ARIstandards and actually uses this water for maximumunit efficiency. A level unit will also ensure properperformance 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 deviceon each side. See Figure 2 page 26. Mark the wall caseon each side 2" from the bottom and 2" from the top at apoint where basic wall structure is located. Drill wall case
and use fasteners appropriate for wall construction. Allholes for fasteners in the side of the wall case must be atleast 2" up from the bottom of the wall case. Never locatescrews or put other holes in the bottom of the wall case.The only exception is when an RAD10 drain kit is installedto connect to an internal drain system. See page 6 forRAD10 Drain Kit information.
If the wall opening is greater than the case dimensions,spacers must be used on the sides between the wall caseand the wall support structure to prevent distorting thewall case.
. Caulk or gasket the entire opening on the outside betweenthe wall case and exterior wall surface (4 sides) to providetotal water and air seal.
4. Caulk or gasket room-side opening between wall case andinterior wall surface (4 sides). Opening beneath or aroundthe wall case can allow outdoor air to leak into the roomresulting in increased operating costs and improper roomtemperature control.
Care should be taken in location of electrical supply entryin relationship to wall sleeve to assure access to receptacleor 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
In some installations such as curtain walls, window walls,or where the structural material of the wall is insufficientto support or fasten wall case to, the use of case anglesmay be used. Case angles are pieces of steel or othermaterial of similar structural strength that are formedto a 90° angle, with holes to fasten the case angle tothe wall case and to the structural component of thewall surrounding the wall case.
The following describes the procedure when field fabricatedand installed case angles are applied.
1. Position case angles around top and sides of wall caseat the desired location. Position case angles vertically oneach side of wall case to provide a level installation.
2. Mark wall case through holes in case angles. The lowesthole 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 locationmarked on wall case in Step 2, and assemble angles towall case using #10 x 1/2" self tapping screws. For RAB77
wall case follow the same procedure except use a #10 x1/2" 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 distowall case.
5. Do not use case angles for a lintel.

Condensate Disposal Systems
Cooling CondensateAir conditioners produce condensate water as a result of lowering the humidity of the area being conditioned. Whenthe indoor coil temperature is below the dew point, moisturein the air condenses into water droplets on the coil. This waterdrains to a pan located under the indoor coil and is routedthrough 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 contactwith the hot outdoor coil. This evaporation process also helpslower the temperature of the outdoor coil and improves theoperating efficiency of the unit.
Slinger Ring SystemsPackaged Terminal units employ various means of dispersingthe condensate water against the outdoor coil. One of the mostpopular, and most effective, means is by the use of a “slingerring.” A “slinger ring” is a ring around the circumference of
the outdoor fan. The design of the unit positions the slingerring very close to the bottom of the base pan so water inthe base pan is lifted by the rotating ring. Water picked upby the slinger ring will be dispersed into the air stream anddeposited on the hot outdoor coil where it evaporates.
All Zoneline Series Packaged Terminal Air Conditionersand Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps utilize a slinger ringfor cooling condensate disposal.
Certification Test RequirementsARI (Air Conditioning & Refrigerating Institute) requires that allcertified Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and PackagedTerminal Heat Pumps pass a cooling condensate disposal
test. One stipulation of the ARI test is that “the test start withcondensate collection pan brimful.” In order to pass the ARICondensate Disposal Test the unit must operate continuouslyfor four hours without condensed water blowing, dripping,or running off the unit casing during the test or after theunit has been turned off. Under extremely high outdoorhumidity conditions or extreme operating conditions, suchas exceptionally high air infiltration (a door or window leftopen while the unit is running, for instance) it is possible forany air conditioner to be unable to dissipate all the coolingcondensate generated.
All Zoneline® Series Packaged Terminal Air Conditionersand Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps meet the condensate
disposal requirements of ARI standards 10-9 and 80-9.
Heat Pump CondensateDuring the operation of a unit in the heat pump, or “reversecycle,” mode the outdoor coil becomes the cold coil and theindoor coil becomes the hot coil due to reversing the flow of the refrigerant. When the temperature of the outdoor coil isbelow the dew point, condensation will form on the outdoorcoil 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 therelative humidity is high.
Heat Pump Condensate DisposalSince the outdoor coil is cold during heat pump operation, thecondensate water cannot be deposited on the outdoor coilas the water would cause frost to form on the coil. This frostwould block the airflow through the coil and greatly reduce theoutdoor air. Rather than allow this problem to occur, heat pumpunits must dispose of the condensate in another manner.
Temperature-Activated Drain ValveThe most widely used method of disposing of heat pump condensateis with a “Temperature-ActivatedDrain Valve.” This is a device mountedin the base pan of a heat pumpunit with a bellows that expands ontemperature rise and contracts withtemperature drop. A shaft with arubber plug on the end is connectedto the bellows. When the outdoor
temperature remains above a certain temperature, the
bellows is expanded and the plug fits tightly into a holein the bottom, or base pan, of the unit. When the plug isblocking the hole, as it should be during cooling operation,the condensate water is contained in the base pan. Attemperatures when heating is required, the bellowscontracts, the rubber plug is retracted from the hole andthe heat pump condensate water is allowed to drain intothe wall case. The valve is fully open at 49°F.
Drain KitsAlthough the Zoneline units are designed to dissipate all of the condensate generated during normal cooling operation,there may be times when abnormal operating conditionscause more condensate than the unit can dissipate. Heatpumps also generate condensate that the unit may notbe designed to dissipate. For these reasons, if condensatedripping from the wall case is objectionable, an internal orexternal drain system should be installed. See pages 5 and6 for information covering the drain systems and the RAD10kit available to connect to the wall case.
Internal Condensate Removal (ICR) SystemGE has developed an Internal Condensate Removal (ICR)System for Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps. This system hasbeen offered as an option on Zoneline Packaged TerminalHeat 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 intoa collector tray positioned above the indoor coil. The waterdrains from the collector tray and drips onto the warm indoorcoil where it is evaporated into the room atmosphere. If anexcess amount of water is pumped to the indoor side, it isrouted 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 drippingfrom the unit. However, if the restrictions of a particularinstallation will allow absolutely no drippage of condensatewater from the wall case, the installation of an internal orexternal drain system is recommended.
Units with ICR may not be installed in seacoast or corrosiveenvironment applications.

Ducted Installations
2800 and 800 Series Zoneline units may be usedin ducted installations.With a ducted installation it is possible to condition theair in two areas that have a common wall separatingthem. A special adapter mounts on the wall case and atransition piece directs the air from the unit into theadapter. Instructions for mounting the adapter to the wall
case are included with the duct adapter. The adaptercontains agrille that allows air from the unit to be discharged into theprimary room and the adapter connects to a duct extensionthat allows the air to flow to the adjoining room. Ductinga unit may allow a single unit to be used rather than aseparate unit in each room, providing a means of reducinginitial equipment cost. The duct may extend a total of 15feet (with a field fabricated insulated duct extension) in onedirection, either to the right or to the left of the unit. A bafflein the adapter allows up to 50% of the discharge air to bedelivered to the secondary room.
The installation of the wall case and sub-base, if used, is thesame for units being ducted as for free-standing units. Theduct 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 willbe necessary to allow for the additional width in theopening for the wall case. The duct adapter mountingbrackets should be mounted prior to installing the case inthe wall.
Refer to pages 8 and 9 for drawings of ductedinstallations.
Prior to the installation of the transition from the roomcabinet to the adapter, it will be necessary to remove thedischarge grille from the room cabinet. Instructions for thismodification are included with the duct adapter.
New Ducted Installations
ComponentsDuct Adapter RAK6052 — The duct adapter is securedto each side of the wall case and requires the drilling of
mounting holes in the wall case during installation. Atemplate for the hole location is in the installationinstructions. By securing the duct adapter to the wall case,the chassis retains the slide-out feature for servicing afterthe transition piece is removed.
Duct Extension RAK601 — This kit contains a 44"-longinsulated duct, a register mounting collar, and an air supplyregister. It can be secured to the duct adapter at either endof the adapter. This duct may be cut at any dimension andused in two applications providing the sum of the two ductlengths necessary do not exceed the 44" length. Even insingle applications the mounting flange must be cut off
one end of the duct to accept the collar and supply register
Mounting Collar and Supply Register RAK602 —Thesecomponents are included in the Duct Extension Kit RAK601
They may be ordered separately for installations where twoduct extensions are made from one RAK601.
Ducted Application Considerations
When designing a ducted application some applicationconsiderations to be made include:
1. Do not exceed the 15-foot length maximum for theduct extension. Field supplied duct extension must becompletely insulated with minimum of 1/2" insulation
2. The duct must be a straight run. Turns or bends in theduct extension create air pressure drops that the unit isnot designed to overcome.
. Minimum recommended clearance between the unit andthe adjacent wall is 2".
4. Provisions for return air must be made to allow aircirculation from secondary room. Doors in both secondarand primary rooms may be undercut or a return grillemay be installed through a common wall.
5. When calculating the heat gain/heat loss take both areainto consideration.
Replacements of Existing Ducted Unit
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 havechanged. Select the proper components from the informatiobelow. The best procedure in determining the correct kit is tmeasure duct extension cross section.
Flat Top-Discharge Units (Zoneline Units Built Prior
to 1988)
Existing Duct Extension Cross Section Measurements:8-/8" height x 6-1/2" width
Duct Adapter RAK7012 — This duct adapter will allow thereplacement of a new chassis (2800 or 800 Series unit)into an existing ducted application. This adapter will alignproperly with the duct extension and will eliminate the neeto modify the wall opening. In order to minimize replacemecosts, some of the components of the old duct adapter musbe removed and used in the new installation. Consult theInstallation Instructions of the RAK7012 before removing andiscarding the old duct adapter. See additional notes page 5
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 threplacement of a new slope-front discharge Zoneline chass(2800 or 800 Series unit) into a previous design slope-fronducted installation. See additional notes page 58.

Exterior Grilles
Four styles of outdoor grilles are available for exteriortreatments. The standard stamped aluminum grille (RAG60),the molded architectural louvered exterior grilles (RAG61-6),the molded architectural louvered exterior grilles with f lange(RAG64-66), and the extruded aluminum architecturallouvered grille (RAG67). All grilles include air deflectorsand gaskets to prevent condenser air recirculation.
RAG67
RAG60Outdoor Grille
RAG64Outdoor Grille
RAG60 Outdoor Grille — The standard exterior grille is madeof durable aluminum to protect chassis components andprevent air recirculation.
RAG61, 62, 6 Architectural Grille — One-piece optionalmolded grille and frame assembly provides improvedappearance, protection and weatherability. Molded of durable polycarbonate, the surfaces of the grille have acolorfast, slightly textured finish which blends well withmost types of wall surfaces. The grilles can be painted in
the field to match the building for improved aesthetics.
RAG64, 65, 66 Architectural Grille with Flange — Identical toRAG61-6 grilles with the addition of a 1/2" flange around thetop and sides to help conceal the juncture of the RAB71 wallcase and the wall opening. The best appearance is achievedwith this grille when the wall case extends minimally (between1/4" and 1/2") beyond the exterior face of the building.
Colors: RAG61 and 64 — Beige; RAG62 and 65 — Dark MapleRAG6 and 66 — Bittersweet Chocolate.
RAG67 Extruded Aluminum Grille — The RAG67 is made fromextruded anodized aluminum for use where an aluminumarchitectural grille is preferred. The RAG67 is available in aclear finish and may be special ordered from GE in othercolors. Minimum order quantities may be required. Contact your General Electric salesperson for details.
All grilles are installed and secured to the wall case from theinside. Keyhole slots in the rear flange of the case allow thegrille to be placed in position before securing it firmly to thewall case.
Replacement of existing units: If an existing grille is notreplaced, capacity and efficiency will be reduced and theunit may fail to operate properly or fail prematurely. Adeflector kit, RAK40, may be used with grilles that werenot designed for current AZ Series GE Zoneline units. TheRAK40 contains air deflectors and gaskets that mount tothe chassis to direct the hot exhaust air away from the airintake to allow the unit to function properly. All grilles usedwith GE Zoneline® units must comply with requirementsof Exterior Architectural Treatments and Special OutdoorGrilles as follows.

The architectural design of a building may dictate the useof special or oversized louvers for aesthetic reasons. Louversother than standard Zoneline exterior grilles may be usedon the Zoneline unit, however, these special louvers, or anyspecial exterior architectural treatments of the buildingfacade that may restrict the free circulation of condenserairflow, should be referred to GE Application Engineering forevaluation and approval. The following guidelines should befollowed in selecting a louver:
1. The louver must have a minimum of 65% free area.ASHRAE defines free area as the minimum area of theopening in an air inlet or outlet through which air canpass. Percent (%) free area equals the X dimension dividedby the Y dimension.
2. The louver should be attached to the wall case in a mannerthat will prevent recirculation of condenser discharge airinto the air inlet. If the louver is not attached directly tothe 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 sincea louver that is too restrictive or allows recirculation willreduce the unit’s capacity and efficiency, increase theelectrical current draw, cause intermittent operation due tothe compressor overload protector shutting the compressoroff, and cause failure of the compressor overload andshorten compressor life. Using the unit with a grille thatis too restrictive or allows recirculation may constituteimproper installation. A scale drawing of the louver sectionshould be sent to GE Application Engineering. To assure theproper performance of the Zoneline unit and comply with
Underwriters Laboratories requirements, it may be necessaryto send a sample louver section (at least 16" x 42") to GE to betested with the Zoneline unit.

Power Connection for 2800, 800
and 5800 Series Zonelines
All 2800, 800, and 5800 Series Zonelines are equipped withuniversal heaters allowing chassis installation flexibility. TheZoneline® units are connected to the building power supplyby a unique power connection kit. By utilizing a separateuniversal 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 particularchassis. This power connection kit is the only means of supplying power to the Zoneline chassis. The appropriatekit is determined by the voltage, the means of electricalconnection, either line cord connected or permanentlyconnected, and the desired resistance heat output thatmay be supported by the branch circuit.
20/208-Volt Line-Cord Connected Units
Line Cord Kits consist of a self-aligning nine-pin moldedconnector that plugs into a mating connector on the Zonelinechassis and insulated line cord with an electrical plug onthe end. The configuration of the electrical plug conformsto NEC standards for the circuit amperage and the positionof the wires in the nine-pin connector determines the heaterwattage and current requirements when it is plugged intothe Zoneline chassis.
The power connection kit is selected by the amperage of the circuit where it will be installed. Each line cord kit has anintegral Leakage Current Detection and Interruption (LCDI) orArc Fault Current Interrupter (AFCI) device as required by theNational Electrical Code (NEC) and Underwriters Laboratory(UL) for line-cord connected air conditioners manufacturedon or after August 1, 2004. The line-cord power connectionkits are shown in the table below.

20/208-Volt — Permanently Connected Units
Permanently connected units do not require the LCDI or AFCIdevice. 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 circuitamperage, a chaseway to route power connector from thesub-base to the chassis, wiring to connect the sub-baseto building wiring and a short-line cord with a self-aligningnine-pin connector to connect to chassis and plug into thereceptacle 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 thesub-base.
For 2800 and 800 Series 20/208-volt units where apermanent installation using flexible conduit is desired, theRAK4002A forms an enclosed junction box on the chassis.The RAK4002A has a 7/8" diameter hole to allow conduit tobe connected to the junction box. A line cord kit, shown aboveunder 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-pinconnector. Strip insulation off 5/8" of each conductor toexpose wires for field connection. These wires are thenconnected to the building wiring by field-supplied connectors.
For 5800 Series 20/208-volt units, the permanent installationusing flexible conduit procedure is the same as for the 2800and 800 Series units, except the junction box kit is RAK4002B.
Electric Heat Amps include electric heater and fan motor current draw.
Each 265-volt sub-base kit consist s of a sub-base with appropriate receptacle for minimum circuitamperage, a chaseway to route the power connector from the s ub-base to the chassis and wiringto connect the sub-base to the building wiring.
The 265-volt power connection kit must be ordered separately.
All wiring must conform to local electrical regulationsand codes.

265- or 277-Volt Unit Installation — PermanentlyConnected Units
National Electric Code (Article 440 Section G) requirespermanent connection for units connected to power sourcesover 250 volts; therefore these units must be permanentlyconnected (direct wired) with field-supplied connectors.Units connected using a sub-base meet the requirement
for permanent connection since all wiring is internal wiringbetween the sub-base and the chassis.
Since 265-volt units may not be line cord connected, an LCDIdevice is not required.

Electrical Wiring Information –2800/800/5800 Series
All Zonelines are single-phase 60 hertz units.
For all installations, the feeder, sub-feeder, branch circuit andelectrical protective devices and selection must conform tothe National Electrical Code and to local codes.
Maximum connected load in amperes, including demandsfor the electric heater and the fan motor, are shown on page44. Branch circuit ampacity and electrical protective devicesizing are shown on page 42 for 20/208-volt units and onthis page for 265-volt units.
More than one unit per branch circuit is not recommended.When in doubt, consult the National Electrical Code. Allwiring, including installation of receptacle, must conformto local electrical regulations and codes.
Replacement of Existing Chassis
20/208-Volt and 265-Volt Units
There have been changes to NEC and improvements andmodifications to the Zoneline chassis and sub-bases sincethe unit was f irst introduced. Some of these changes requirealterations to be made when replacing an older unit with a
new chassis.
Line-Cord Connected Units
The plug configuration of new line cord connected unitscomplies with the current NEC standards. Older installationsmay have wall receptacles that conformed to NEC standardsat the time the building was constructed and may not matchthe configuration of the plug on the new line cord. Therecommended solution is to change the wall receptacle toconform to current standard plug configuration. See charton this page for current receptacle configuration.
Permanent Connected Units With Sub-Base
If the existing unit is connected to a sub-base the installationof the new unit may involve modifying the existing installatioslightly. It is recommended these modifications be made by aqualified 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-suppliedwiring, conduit and conduit connectors should be used tomake a connection between the new chassis and the centeknockout of the RAK201. The wiring connections should bemade inside the sub-base and the RAK201 attached to thesub-base with the two screws provided.
If the existing sub-base is not the full width of the wall casthe electrician will have to modify the existing cover plate tallow field-supplied wiring, conduit and conduit connectors tbe run from the permanent connection kit to the sub-base.

Latent System Capacity
The total capacity of an air conditioner is made up of theSensible capacity, the output of the unit used to removeheat from the air in the area being conditioned, and theLatent capacity, the output of the unit used to dehumidifythe air in the area being conditioned. For humid climatesand applications, the Sensible/Latent capacity split of theunit should be considered. The Sensible capacity listed in
the specification charts on page 55 is at a standard ratingcondition of 95°F dry bulb/75°F wet bulb outdoors; 80°F drybulb/67°F wet bulb indoors. The Latent system capacity is
1.00 minus the Sensible capacity. (If the Sensible capacity islisted at .74 the Latent capacity is .26. This means that 74% of the capacity of the unit is used to remove heat from the airand 26% is used to remove moisture form the air at standardtest conditions.)
In some applications information about the Sensible/Latentsplit, or ratio, at conditions other than the standard rating
conditions is needed. The chart below provides data atvarious indoor conditions.

General Installation Suggestions
Ducted Installation Comments
New Installations
The GE Zoneline® 2800 and 800 series are approved forducted installation using the GE Duct Adapter model RAK6052and the GE Duct Extension RAK601. A field-fabricated ductextension with the same interior measurements as the RAK601may 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 notapproved by GE and may cause problems such as inadequateairflow to the secondary room or the unit shutting off on oneof the overload devices.
Failure to allow for adequate air return from the secondaryroom is often the cause of less than satisfactory performanceof a ducted installation.
Replacement Installations
GE offers duct adapters to allow for easy replacements of previous design chassis in ducted installations where a GE
duct adapter was used in the original installation. A ductadapter is available that will align with the duct extensionwhen GE-built components were used in the original installation.
The duct extension used from the early 1960s until late 1987was 8-/8" high by 6-1/2" wide. If the chassis to be replaced isthe flat-top discharge (design until late 1987) the duct adaptermodel 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 minimumthere are components that will need to be taken off theexisting installation and used on the RAK7012 duct adapter.The wall case mounting brackets, screws, discharge grille,damper, and end cap will need to be retained.
If the chassis is a slope-front discharge and the ductdimensions are 8-/8" high by 6-1/2" wide then thechassis has already been replaced and the purchaseof a new duct adapter is not required. The only piece thatneeds to be replaced in this installation is the transitionpiece, model RAK7022, which fits between the chassis andthe duct adapter.
If the chassis being replaced has a model number thatbegins with AZ22E, AZ22, AZ25, AZ2, AZ2H or AZ5, thenew 2800 or 800 Series unit can be installed using the samecomponents that were used for the 2200 or 200 Series unit.
If the existing chassis is a slope-front discharge and the ductdimensions are 7-/2" high by 6-1/2" wide only the RAK7022transition piece is required to install a 2800 or 800 Seriesunit in the ducted installation.
There were a number of Zoneline units installed in ductedinstallations that did not use a GE duct adapter. The easiestway to determine if the existing duct adapter is a GE ductadapter is to compare the duct adapter dimensions to the
dimensions above. If the dimensions are different than thedimensions above or it the duct adapter is not made of sheetmetal, it is not a GE duct adapter. In such installations GErecommends the removal of the old duct adapter and ductextension and the installation of a RAK6052 duct adapterand a RAK601 duct extension. Zoneline units installed ininstallations not using GE duct adapters and an extensionwith the same cross-section dimensions as the duct adaptermay not be covered by the warranty.
