Page 7: The Zoneline System
The Zoneline System ® The typical Zoneline installation consists of the wall case (or sleeve), chassis, and exterior grille. Some installations may use a sub-base for support of the unit or for ease of electrical connections. Each of the components should be the standard products offered by GE or, in the case of the exterior grille, approved by GE Applications Engineering. - Page 8 Zoneline Features ® Enhanced Dehumidification — Dry Air 25 Cooling EER Range (20 Volts/265 Volts) Heating COP Range (20 Volts/265 Volts) Heat Source — Electric Resistance Heat Heat Source — Heat Pump With Selectable Full Time or On Demand Simultaneous/ Supplemental Resistance Heat Staged Heating Universal Heater —...

Page 14: Central Desk Control
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. -
Page 15: Remote Thermostat Control
The AC voltage may not be compatible with some solid-state thermostats. The fan speed for the 2900 Series in remote thermostat operation is selected by the connection of the fan wire from the thermostat to either the HIGH or LOW terminal on the unit. - Page 16 Remote Thermostat Control Heat Pump Models The Zoneline 900 and 5800 Series heat pump units may ® be connected to a single-stage cooling/two-stage heating thermostat designed for use with heat pump systems.

Page 18: Heat Pumps And Energy Savings
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. -
Page 19: Heat Pumps And Energy Savings
Heat Pumps and Energy Savings Heat Pump Operation — Zoneline 3900 and 5800 Series Heat sources: Heat pump, heat pump and simultaneous electric resistance heat or electric resistance heat. Zoneline heat pumps employ a highly featured microprocessor control system interfaced with thermistors to accurately measure indoor air temperature, outdoor air temperature, indoor coil temperature and outdoor coil temperature. -
Page 20: Application Comments
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. -

Chaseway included. The junction box (RAK4002A for 2900 and 3900 Series units; RAK4002B for 5800 Series units) that mounts on the chassis of 230/208 volt sub-base connected units must be purchased separately.
- Page 24 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).
