IMPORTANT NOTICE

Equipment used as a primary source for heating or cooling is an integral part of the building in which it is installed.
Proper application is essential for satisfactory performance over a wide range of operating conditions. It is strongly
recommended that a professional engineer determine proper application.

If this unit is a replacement unit, its specifications and performance may differ from those of the unit it is replacing.
For that reason, we again strongly recommend that a professional engineer determine proper application.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

EXCELLENT EFFICIENCY
AND DEHUMIDIFICATION

GE Appliances recognizes the importance of energy
efficiency and dehumidification in an air conditioning
system and uses EER (Energy Efficiency Rating) as
the required means of reporting the relative cooling
efficiency of the unit.

The measurement of the efficiency of the heat pump
output, when compared to electric resistance heat,
is called the Coefficient of Performance (COP). The
GE Zoneline single packaged vertical heat pump has
outstanding COP ratings. This number provides a basis
not only for comparing the heat pump output to electric
resistance heat, but also the ability to directly compare
heat pumps within the same range of capacity to
one another.

PERMANENTLY LUBRICATED FAN MOTORS

The Zoneline Vertical chassis has two permanently
lubricated, totally enclosed fan motors. The motors are
permanently lubricated to reduce maintenance, and
totally enclosed to keep dirt and water out of the
motor windings.

CENTRAL DESK CONTROL (CDC)

AZ95 units are compatible with simple on/off 2-wire
Central Desk Control (CDC) systems. The unit utilizes a
3 pin port to interface such a system. This requires the
separate purchase of the RAKCDC connector accessory.
The most common installation of this type of system is a
switch mounted at the registration desk; and, upon guest
check-in, the switch is activated to allow the air conditioner
to operate.

Likewise, when the guest checks out, the device is switched
to the “OFF” setting so the unit will not operate when the
room is not rented.

In some resort areas, this feature is usually used with a
normally open switch connected to sliding glass doors,
and opening the doors causes a contact to close, turning
the air conditioner off. This prevents the unit from running
and wasting energy with the sliding glass door open.

IMPORTANT CDC NOTES:

1. The unit requires the use of a normally open switch.

Closing the circuit shuts off the system.

2. Both wires comprising the circuit must connect to the
CDC terminals on the unit and to the controlling switch.
Do not use a common buss (at the unit or at the switch
panel) in the wiring.

3. A 24-volt transformer is contained within the Zoneline
Vertical Unit. No external voltage may be applied to
the unit through the CDC terminals.

4. Minimum wire size for CDC wiring:

WIRE SIZE # AWG MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LENGTH

#22 600 Ft.

#20 900 Ft.

#18 1,500 Ft.

#16 2,000 Ft.

5. Freeze Sentinel and Heat Sentinel still remain

operational when the unit is connected to a
CDC system.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

TRANSFER FAN INTERFACE

The advantage of the Zoneline Vertical chassis product
is the ability to duct air to other rooms. If it is desired to

move air into a space where there is no ducting, a 24 VAC
connector (RAKCDC) is available to operate a relay that
controls a wall mounted fan that transfers air from one
room to another. With this, the wall mounted fan would
turn on whenever the indoor fan of the unit operates.

While the 24-volt control signal comes from the
Zoneline® Vertical chassis, the electrical power for the
operation of the transfer fan itself is NOT provided by
the Zoneline Vertical chassis.

Transfer fans and their controlling relays, power and wiring
are field supplied.

2-SPEED INDOOR FAN MOTOR
FOR SELECTABLE HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS

Since the Zoneline Vertical chassis discharge air may be
routed through duct work for air distribution into one or
more rooms, the units are equipped with a 2-speed fan
that provides greater air movement to compensate for
the additional duct length. GE Appliances recommends
an HVAC engineer be consulted to determine the best
fan speed for the application.

Higher CFMs tend to increase the operating sound level,
both from fan noise and from the air noise in the duct.
Higher CFMs also reduce the dehumidification rate of
the unit, while lower CFMs provide quieter operation
and better dehumidification. However, if the CFMs are
not high enough to adequately move the air through
the duct system, the unit will not be able to provide
a comfortable room.

If the Zoneline Vertical chassis is connected to a wall
thermostat without the ability to provide two fan speeds,
the fan speed will be determined by connecting the wire
controlling the fan to the low speed fan terminal or the
high speed fan terminal on the unit.

CORROSION PROTECTION
TREATMENT—STANDARD

All Z

oneline Vertical chassis
protected against damage from
seacoast area corrosion. Components
that are in contact with the salt air have
special coatings or are made of non­corroding materials to help withstand
the corrosive effects of the environment.
This protection includes the use of
totally enclosed outdoor fan motors with

painted casings and a special coating on the outdoor coil
to extend the life of the unit in a coastal environment.
The base pan is made of durable non-corrosive plastic.

are

INDOOR COIL FROST CONTROL

Under certain operating conditions, frost can form on
the indoor coil of an air conditioner, reducing air flow
and cooling. In order to prevent frost from forming, the
Zoneline Vertical chassis has an automatic frost control
on the indoor coil. When frost begins to form on the coil,
the compressor stops while the indoor fan continues to
run, until the coil temperature increases and the frost
dissipates.

At that time, the compressor resumes operation and
cooling continues. The indoor fan remains running during
the time the compressor is off to help warm the coil with
room temperature air.

AUTOMATIC COMPRESSOR RANDOM RESTART

In the event of a power interruption, all compressors
attempting to restart immediately when power is
restored can result in a power surge that can cause
another power failure. The microprocessor in the
Zoneline Vertical chassis has a random restart logic
system that prevents all compressors from restarting
at the same instant.

COMPRESSOR RESTART DELAY

Zoneline Vertical units are designed to provide
a minimum of three minutes of compressor off time
to allow refrigerant pressures to equalize before
attempting to restart. Attempting to restart against
a high head pressure shortens compressor and
overload protector life.

The units are also designed to provide a minimum of
three minutes of compressor run time to prevent short
cycling from disturbing the room occupant.

FREEZE SENTINEL

• Detects low room temperature and turns heater to
help protect against damage caused by freezing
room temperatures.

• The electric heater turns on at 41o F and warms the
room up to 46o F and shuts off.

• Freeze Sentinel may by turned off via the
auxilliary control.

HEAT SENTINEL

The property owner may choose to activate the Heat
Sentinel feature on the Zoneline unit. If the Heat Sentinel
is activated and room temperature reaches 85o F
(even when the unit is in the “OFF” mode), the unit will
automatically start the air conditioning operation and will
shut off when the room temperature reaches 80o F.
This will help dehumidify the air and lower high
temperatures so the guest will not be entering an
extremely hot room.

SLINGER RING CONDENSATE REMOVAL

Condensate water removed from the indoor air is
dispersed into the air stream by the outdoor fan slinger
ring and deposited on the hot outdoor coil. The water
helps cool the refrigerant in the outdoor coil and
increases the efficiency of the air conditioner, while
reducing the condensate draining from the unit.

Preliminary specifications. Subject to change.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

HEAT PUMP OPERATION

Heat pumps save money compared to electric
resistance heat, but if the unit cannot provide room
occupant comfort, the savings may be of questionable
benefit. GE Appliances has years of experience with
designing Zoneline heat pumps to solve the problem
of guest complaints.

The heat pump unit uses a two-stage heat/one-stage
cooling thermostat. Stage one, heat pump operation,
will operate as specified by the remote thermostat being
used as long as outdoor conditions will allow. If the
remote thermostat asks for heat pump heating outside
of unit heat pump operating conditions, the heating
request will be met by utilizing back-up resistance heat.

The Z

oneline Vertical chassis

will operate in efficient heat
pump mode down to a 25°F outdoor temperature.
At temperatures below this, the unit will automatically
switch to electric heat.

The resistance heater and the heat pump do not operate
simultaneously.

HEAT PUMP LOGIC

The chart below indicates the standard heating source
of the AZ95 series heat pump models under various
outdoor conditions. The unit is designed to provide heat
pump saving without sacrificing room comfort.

QUICK HEAT RECOVERY

Unit software will provide electric resistance heating as
the first heat cycle following the unit having been set to
either off or cool on the remote thermostat. This ensures
occupant comfort by quickly reaching the desired
setpoint temperature. All subsequent heating cycles will
follow heat staging as dictated by the remote thermostat
if required outdoor temperature conditions are met.
Quick heat recovery is not influenced by heat pump logic.

HEAT PUMP DEFROST

Zoneline heat pumps utilize a reverse-cycle, demand­defrost system to extend heat pump operation and
increase savings from extended operation. The
microprocessor determines the need for defrosting from
criteria based on continuous compressor running time,
outdoor air temperature and outdoor coil temperature.
When defrosting is required, the unit reverses the flow of
refrigerant to direct the hot gas into the outdoor coil to
melt the frost buildup.

Before and after the reverse-cycle defrost, the unit shuts
off the compressor to allow the refrigerant pressures to
equalize through the system. 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 three minutes and
up to a maximum of nine minutes. The defrost cycle
terminates when the outdoor coil reaches a temperature
of 68o F or the maximum time has been reached.

BOOST HEAT

The AZ95 series offers a Boost Heat option feature that
utilizes partial supplemental resistance heat at the same
time as the heat pump operation. The boost heat feature
changes stage one heating (heat pump) to be heat pump
with partial resistance heat. Stage two heating stays as
full resistance heat.

NOTE: Heat Pump and full resistance heat shall never be
on at the same time.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL DIAGNOSTICS/
SERVICE MODE

The Zoneline Vertical system continuously monitors the
unit operation and in some cases the unit may take action
and shut down until conditions are corrected.
The electronic control will store/provide Error Codes
to aid in diagnosis and correction to get the unit up
and running quickly.

In addition to error codes, the unit is equipped with
Service Modes that allow for independent testing of unit
functionality. This allows for fan, heat, cool operations
among other checks to be “forced” without signals from
the remote thermostat or unit temperature sensors. This
is a valuable tool that helps pinpoint operational problems
and also helps distinguish unit malfunction from problems
caused by remote thermostat.

See the product Use & Care/Mini-Manual for specifics on
Error Codes, Service Modes, and how to use the system.

COMPONENTS & INSTALLATION

Each Zoneline single packaged vertical unit requires
a drain platform, wall plenum, exterior grille, unit, remote
thermostat, filter and a return air grille, ductwork and
supply registers.

The drain platform legs, ductwork and supply registers
are field supplied. Each of the other components is
ordered separately. The drain platform, wall plenum and
exterior grille are specifically designed to interface with
the GE Appliances Zoneline Vertical chassis and must be
purchased from the same source as the unit. Custom
exterior grilles may be used but must comply with the
requirements shown on page 12.

The remote thermostat and the return air grille are
offered as accessories by GE Appliances, but may be
purchased from a source other than GE Appliances.
If a non-GE Appliances thermostat is being used,
it should meet the general thermostat requirements
mentioned on page 14. Any custom return air grille
being used should offer a louvered area as large as the
GE Appliance offering or larger.

WALL PLENUM

Since the unit itself does not install in the wall opening,
the use of a plenum is necessary to contain and separate
the outdoor air paths. The plenum must be able to

hold water in the bottom without
leaking into the wall cavity. It also
must have a “splitter” to separate
the outdoor air paths and prevent
the discharge air from being drawn
back into the unit.

The wall plenum is the first
component to be installed.
GE Appliances model RAVWPT15
is available for use with wall
thicknesses of 8” to 15.”

The plenum is to be installed square and level in the
opening and secured to the wall construction with
screws or nails in the sides located a minimum of 2" up
from the bottom of the plenum. No nails or screws may
be used in the bottom or top of the plenum to prevent
water entering the wall cavity.

The plenum is not load bearing, so a proper header
needs to be installed above the plenum the same as
over any window opening in the wall. If the building
construction is brick, concrete block or other non self­supporting material, a lintel must be installed over the
plenum opening. The plenum must be caulked to the
wall, both to the outdoor wall face and to the interior
wall, along all four sides to prevent air and water
infiltration.

WALL PLENUM MODELS:

RAVWPT15-For installations with walls 8” to 15” thick.

REPLACEMENT OF OLDER GE VERTICAL
PRODUCT

When replacing a previous model GE Appliances Vertical
Unit with a new AZ95 series vertical air conditioner, one
of three transition plenums must be used.

Differences in chassis designs between the prior
models and AZ95 series require careful installation and
planning. Changes in drain exit locations, drain routing,
electrical connections, platform height, conditioned air
duct location and additional space requirements for
installation of a transition kit are all items that need to
be considered when replacing a prior model with an
AZ95 series unit.

The selection of the appropriate transition kit is based
on the original wall plenum being used. If a RAVTRANS
kit is already being used to transition an original wall
plenum to an AZ90/91 series, it will need to be removed
and a RAVTRANS2 kit will need to be installed prior
to installing an AZ95 series unit. Please reference the
following chart to determine which transition kit is
needed. Before starting the conversion, be sure there

DRAIN PLATFORM

The AZ95 Series requires the use of a separate drain
platform accessory (RAVDPLAT). This accessory
supports the chassis and positions it properly to seal to
the wall plenum. Secondly, it serves as the drain pan for
the chassis with connections for both a primary and
secondary drain. This innovative accessory saves time
and money by eliminating the need for field fabricated
support platforms. It also greatly simplifies chassis
removal from the closet because the plumbing
connections are made to the platform as opposed to the
chassis itself.

The drain platform height is determined based on the
position of the RAVWPT15 wall plenum. The bottom
edge of the drain platform is flush with the bottom edge
of the wall plenum. Technically, the bottom edge could
be set to floor level, but that would likely make
connecting to a building drain system difficult. In most
installations, it will be desired to raise the platform
several inches off the floor. This can easily be done using
2”x4” lumber cut to length and positioned in the
integrated support pockets of the RAVDPLAT. Only two
support legs are needed as the exterior side is supported
by the wall plenum.

The primary drain can be directed out either side or the
front of the drain platform through sidewall notches in
the platform. If the platform is elevated for drainpipe
clearance below, the primary drain can run any direction
desired. The secondary drain is to be piped through the
wall plenum to the exterior of the building.

For further detail, please see the RAVDPLAT Installation
Instructions.

COMPONENTS & INSTALLATION

STANDARD SIZE AIR FILTER

A number of filters, providing varying degrees of
filtering efficiency, are available on the market today.
GE Appliances has designed the Zoneline Vertical
chassis to accommodate a number of filter placement
options. The filter provided with the unit is a standard
size 18" W x 20" H x 1" D filter.

The unit must not be operated without a filter in place,
even during construction.

GE Appliances provides three filter placement options
for design and installation flexibility. Filter brackets are
provided on the front of the Zoneline vertical unit chassis
(18" x 20" x 1"), which allows for the filter to be directly
mounted to the unit.

An access panel, accessory model number RAVRG4,
for the closet enclosure is the second filter placement
option (20”x24”x1 to 2”). The access panel requires a
cutout in the unit closet enclosure wall and provides
access to the unit for servicing and removal. The access
panel should be located in the wall such that the
centerline of the access panel matches the centerline
of the chassis. The bottom of the access panel should
be at least 1" below the top edge of the drain platform
to allow for easy removal of the Zoneline Vertical Unit.

The third filter placement option is incorporated in a
return air grille-RAVRG2. A 20” x 20” x 1” filter fits inside
the grille. The RAVRG2 can be installed in a solid closet
access door or in a closet side wall. A 20 3/8” x 20 3/8”
cutout in the closet wall or door is required to install
this option.

A different size filter may also be used in a field-supplied
frame installed in a return air grille mounted in the closet
enclosure door or wall.

Only one filter is to be used in the installation.

Multiple filters will reduce the air flow and affect unit
performance. A clean filter is essential to efficient unit
operation.

The filter should be checked at least every 30 days and

replaced if dirty.

EXTERIOR GRILLE

The architectural louver exterior grille
is mounted to the exterior of the
plenum and held in place with four
screws inserted from inside enclosure
closet. The grille is designed specifically
for use with the Zoneline Vertical
chassis, and the use of any other grille

must be approved by GE Appliances
Air Conditioning Applications
Engineering.

Small or minor obstacles, such as poles or small shrubs,
should be a minimum of two feet away (radius in all
directions). Larger obstructions, such as a solid fence/
wall and heat generating sources, like a condensing unit,
should be kept away a minimum distance of six feet.

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 Appliances
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. (See examples below).

2. The louver should be attached to the wall case in

a manner that will prevent recirculation of condenser
discharge air into the air inlet. If the louver is not
attached directly to the wall case, a field-supplied
splitter or gasket is required between the chassis
and the louver to prevent recirculation.

It is important that the above criteria be followed since
a louver that is too restrictive or allows recirculation will
reduce the unit’s capacity and efficiency, increase the
electrical current draw, cause intermittent operation
due to the compressor overload protector shutting the
compressor off, and cause failure of the compressor
overload protector and shorten compressor life. Using
the unit with a grille that is too restrictive or allows
recirculation may constitute improper installation and will
void the unit's warranty. Since the Zoneline unit complies
with Underwriters Laboratories® requirements, it may be
necessary to send a full size sample louver section to an
independent lab to be tested with the Zoneline unit.

OUTDOOR CLEARANCES

Since the GE Zoneline Vertical chassis is an air exchange
system, it is critical that the exterior grille, which provides
both intake and exhaust, not be covered or impeded
in anyway.

COMPONENTS & INSTALLATION

UNIT AND INSTALLATION NOTES

The unit is a one-piece package system that fits
directly into a closet enclosure. Once the drain platform
(RAVDPLAT) has been installed, the chassis can be
positioned on the drain platform and pushed towards
the exterior wall. The chassis will drop down slightly
into the platform, securing it in place and engaging
the gasket on the wall plenum (RAVWPT15). Power,
thermostat, and duct connections can then be made.

A 10" diameter flange on the top of the unit is used to
connect to field-supplied, insulated, flexible or rigid
transition duct with an adjustable ring clamp.

Flexible duct may be used for transitions only. Rigid
duct must be used for 90-degree bends and tees.
Do not use flexible duct for unsupported runs of five
feet or more.

RETURN AIR GRILLE, ACCESS PANEL
OR LOUVERED CLOSET DOOR

The return air from the room to the unit may enter the
closet through one of four ways.

A louvered door may be installed on the closet to allow
return air to enter. When a louvered door is used, the
filter would be installed in the filter bracket on the front
panel of the unit.

A wall-mounted access panel may be used instead of a
louvered door. The return air is through the access panel,
model RAVRG4, which requires a 28 1/8" W x 55 7/8" H
cutout in the wall, and there is a filter bracket behind the
grille louvers.

A return air grille, model RAVRG2, may also be used
and is designed to be installed in a 20-3/8" by 20-3/8"
cutout in a flush closet door or closet sidewall. In
this installation, a filter can fit into the bracket in the
RAVRG2.

A field-supplied return air grille, with a minimum
dimension of 20" W x 20" H, may be used if mounted
in a cutout in the door or wall. When employing this
method for return air, the filter is installed in the bracket
mounted on the unit.

POWER CONNECTION KIT

All AZ95 Series Vertical Units are equipped with
universal heaters that are capable of different heater
outputs. Heater output is determined by which unique
direct connect power kit is being used. This increases
the flexibility of a chassis where various heating
requirements may need to be met at a site. This power
connection is the only means of supplying power to the
AZ95 chassis. Please reference the chart on page 5 to
determine the appropriate power connection kit for
your project.
