Introduction This manual is designed to provide product, performance and application information to our customers and their architects and engineers for use in selection and design of a zonal comfort control system utilizing GE Zoneline® Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTAC) and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps (PTHP).
geappliances.com The Zoneline System The typical Zoneline installation consists of the wall case (or sleeve), chassis, power cord and exterior grille. Some installations may use a sub-base for support of the unit or for ease of electrical connections. Each of the components should be the standard products offered by GE or, in the case of the exterior grille, approved by GE Applications Engineering.
Zoneline® Features Resistance heat AZ 41 Series AZ 41 Dry Air 25 Heat pump AZ 61 Series Cooling EER Range (230 Volts/265 Volts) 10.6 - 12.8 11.3 - 12.2 11.2 - 13.2 Heating COP Range (230 Volts/265 Volts) N/A N/A 3.3 - 4.
geappliances.com Features and Benefits Standard Physical Dimensions Automatic Emergency Heat GE has maintained the same dimensions since 1961 — 42" wide x 16" high x 13-3/4" deep Replacement of older units is made easy. Automatically uses electric resistance heat if the heat pump output is not sufficient to maintain selected room temperature.
Features and Benefits Fan-Only Setting – HIGH/LOW Indoor Coil Frost Control The unit provides the option of selecting either HIGH or LOW speed for Fan-Only operation. Prevents indoor coil from freezing and causing complaints due to lack of cooling. Frost can form on the indoor coil when the unit is operated in cooling when outdoor temperatures are low. The unit automatically shuts the compressor off until the indoor coil temperature warms to the point where frosting will no longer occur.
geappliances.com Features and Benefits Up-Front Air Filters Corrosion Protection (Optional) Two interchangeable up-front filters, easy to remove and reinstall, may be cleaned without opening or removing the room front. 4100 and 6100 Series units may be ordered with special protection to better withstand damage from salt air and salt water in seacoast areas. Clean filters by brushing, vacuuming or backflushing under faucet or shower head.
Auxiliary Control—Aux Set Button The auxiliary control push button is located behind the room cabinet, below the control panel. The auxiliary controls come preset to the modes most desired by customers. However, the owner is responsible for ensuring the auxiliary controls are set to the desired function. There are 9 different modes that can be set using the auxiliary set button. To change modes: • Press the STOP button. • Press AUX SET (“AU” appears on the display).
geappliances.com Auxiliary Control Settings (cont) Mode 3—Freeze Sentinel/Heat Sentinel The default settings for Mode 3 are: Heat Sentinel is off Freeze Sentinel is on. When Freeze Sentinel is activated, it automatically provides heat without user interface. This helps to prevent plumbing damage by turning the heater and indoor fan ON at 41ºF and OFF at 46ºF. When Heat Sentinel is activated, it automatically provides cooling without user interface.
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.

Heat Pumps and Energy Savings •G E 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.
geappliances.com Heat Pumps and Energy Savings Heat Pump Operation — Zoneline 6100 Series Heat sources: Heat pump, heat pump and simultaneous electric resistance heat or electric resistance heat. Zoneline heat pumps employ a highly featured microprocessor control system interfaced with thermistors to accurately measure indoor air temperature, outdoor air temperature, indoor coil temperature and outdoor coil temperature.
Application Comments Use and Care Manual and installation instructions are shipped with Zoneline® units. It is important that any air conditioning system be properly sized and applied in order to achieve the desired temperature and humidity levels in the space to be conditioned. Zoneline units are designed primarily to provide heating and cooling with the additional benefit that during operation in the cooling mode, the units also remove some moisture from the conditioned space.

Condensate Disposal Systems Cooling Condensate Heat Pump Condensate Disposal Air conditioners produce condensate water as a result of lowering the humidity of the area being conditioned. When the indoor coil temperature is below the dew point, moisture 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.

geappliances.com 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.
General Installation Suggestions Ducted Installation Comments New Installations The GE Zoneline® 4100 and 6100 Series are approved for ducted installation using the GE Duct Adapter model RAK6052 and the GE Duct Extension RAK601. A field-fabricated duct extension with the same interior measurements as the RAK601 may be used with the RAK6052 duct adapter. GE does not recommend ducting in more than one direction.
