Versatile Zoneline® Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners provide year-round comfort
with individual heating and cooling temperature controls. Designed for a wide range of
applications, these units are ideal for hotels and motels, office buildings, schools and
apartments. All Zoneline units feature the exclusive GE® “Superseal” system which
ge.com
minimizes energy usage by reducing air infiltration. The result is maximum operating
efficiency and a more comfortable room. All Zoneline units are also very quiet thanks to a
lower sound level and lower sound transmission. The newest innovation in Zoneline units
is the Dry Air 25 Series. Similar to our Deluxe 2900 Series, the Dry Air 25 removes 25%
more moisture from the air than standard GE packaged terminal air conditioners.
3
Zoneline® features and benefits
Electronic touch controls
The 2900, 3900 and 5800 Series Zoneline® units are
equipped with microcomputer touch controls. This
feature gives the user better control over the temperature
with a touch pad and an LED readout.
Central desk control
All Zoneline units are compatible with two-wire central
desk ON/OFF controls, including many computerized
control systems. They can also be wired directly to
infrared sensors and door switches to maximize efficiency.
Remote installation capability
All Zoneline units are compatible with GE® wall-mounted
remote thermostats. Mechanical, digital and programmable
thermostats are available.
4
Optional corrosion treatment
Deluxe Zoneline units can be ordered with special
treatment to reduce the effects of corrosive
environments. Special treatments are placed on
the outdoor coil and other components to extend
the life of the unit.

The Dry Air 25
The Dry Air 25 Series centers around GE’s exclusive use of
the patented Dinh® Dehumidifier Heat Pipe from Heat Pipe
Technology, Inc. This innovative technology enables the
Dry Air 25 to remove 25% more moisture from the air than
standard GE packaged terminal air conditioners. The Dry Air
25 is perfect for high-humidity climates. Available on 7000,
9000 and 12000 BTU models.
Freeze Sentinel
All Zoneline units are equipped with Freeze Sentinel to
provide protection against damage caused by freezing
temperatures in unoccupied rooms, regardless of unit
setting. In installations where freezing temperature is
not a concern, the owner has the option of disabling
the Freeze Sentinel.
™
Heat Sentinel
Provides automatic protection against overheating by
switching on the unit to cool should the temperature
of an unoccupied room reach 85°F.
Upfront filters
For ease of cleaning, all Zoneline units have interchangeable,
removable upfront filters made of long-lasting nylon mesh,
thus assuring high performance and long life.
Electronic temperature limiting
Heating and cooling temperatures may be electronically
limited on all series to prevent expensive overcooling or
overheating. Heating and cooling limits are independently
set so seasonal adjustment is unnecessary.
5
Easy installation and flexibility of design
Zoneline® units are designed with innovative, universal
components, and offer even greater installation flexibility
than ever, whether in new construction, renovation or
for replacement of old units. Unless specified by code,
they require no sub-base and may be installed flush with
finished floor. All models are adaptable to remote and
central desk control. Zoneline units may even be placed
in unusual locations, such as transom or common-area
installations. The two lines, Deluxe and Premium, each
with its own special blend of features, offer flexibility to
meet each zone application. All units come with
microcomputer controls.

The Dry Air 25
The Dry Air 25 features innovative technology from Heat Pipe
Technology, Inc., an addition which enables this unit to remove 25%
more moisture from the air than standard GE Zoneline® models. The
Dry Air 25 system, Heat Pipe, is a hermetically sealed heat transfer
surface that is saddlebagged around the indoor coil (evaporator) of
the Zoneline. This coil arrangement will transfer heat from one coil to
another without power consumption. This assembly uses R-22 as the
refrigerant and is isolated from the regular Zoneline refrigerant circuit.
As warm humid air is pulled through the pre-cool section of the Heat
Pipe, the heat removed from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant,
causing the refrigerant to boil. As the pre-cooled air passes through
the Zoneline evaporator, the air is further cooled (colder than it would
be normally), removing 25% more moisture from the air than standard
GE packaged terminal air conditioners.
As the cold air passes through the reheat section of the Heat Pipe, the
refrigerant condenses and the liquid flows back to the pre-cool section
to be reheated again. The air discharged into the room by this process
is much drier, creating a more comfortable room condition.

Special corrosion-protected units
To help extend the life of the Zoneline unit in seacoast areas, some
Deluxe Zoneline units may be ordered with a special corrosion
protection treatment on outdoor components and use stainless
steel hardware. Zoneline units with optional corrosion protection
have a ‘C’ in the 10th character of the model number.
Internal condensate removal
Available on the 3900 and 5800 heat pumps, this feature drips the
heat pump condensate over the warm indoor coil to help dissipate
water from heat pump operation and associated defrost cycles. The
installation of an internal or external drain system is recommended if
no dripping of condensate to the outdoors is desired. ICR must not be
installed in seacoast or corrosive applications.

connection. (NEC Requires 265V Direct
Connection.) See Architects and Engineers
Design Data Manual for electrical

connection information including use of
sub-base for direct-connected units. Installation
must comply with local electrical codes and regulations.
Ducted applications
2900 and 3900 series can be used with ductwork to heat or cool more
than one room. RAK6052 Duct Adapter is applied to top of case over air
discharge. RAK601 Duct Extension is applied to right or left of adapter.
Locally fabricated ductwork may be added to extend to maximum
recommended distance of 15 feet.
For additional information on ducted applications, including special
adapters for replacement units, refer to Architects and Engineers Design
Data Manual.
230/208 Volt sub-bases include appropriate power cord kit .
265 Volt units are to be direct connected. Cordset through enclosed chaseway into interior sub-base receptacle meets the NEC requirements.

Power connection kits are required on all Zoneline® chassis (see chart below).
The correct kit for the installation is determined by the voltage and amperage of the electrical circuit and the means of connecting the unit to the
building wiring. If the unit is to be plugged into a receptacle, a line cord kit would be used; if the unit is to be permanently connected, a permanent
connection kit would be used. 265 volt cord set units must be installed in compliance with National Electrical Code
Power connection kits
Required on all models.
