The Dry Air 25 system, a heat pipe, is a hermetically sealed heat transfer surface installed in a saddlebag configuration around the indoor (evaporator) coil of the Zoneline. This coil arrangement will transfer heat from the front coil of the saddlebag to the rear coil without power consumption. This assembly uses R-22 as the refrigerant and is not connected 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 is absorbed by the refrigerant, causing the refrigerant to change to a gas and flow to the re-heat (rear) section of the heat pipe. The air leaving the pre-cool section of the heat pipe is cooler and at a higher relative humidity level than the room air. The pre-cooled air is further cooled as it passes through the evaporator; consequently, the relative humidity increases allowing the evaporator coil to remove more moisture.
When the cold air from the evaporator comes in contact with the re-heat section of the heat pipe, the heat that was removed by the pre-cool section is added back to the air and the refrigerant in the heat pipe condenses and flows back to the indoor coil. The air discharged into the room by this process is much drier, creating a more comfortable room condition.
The Newest Innovation from GE...
The Dry Air 25 Models center around GE’s exclusive use of the patented Dinh Pipe from Heat Pipe Technology, Inc. This innovative NASA spin-off technology enables Dry Air 25 to remove 25% more moisture from the air than other leading manufacturers’ packaged terminal air conditioners. This helps maintain room comfort at a higher room temperature, reducing operating costs.
The Dry Air 25 keeps a room cool and dry, and this is the most 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 humidity is just as important as the heat, and the Dry Air 25 is the perfect solution. The dehumidifi­cation of the Dry Air 25 has been verified by the same ARI test conditions that standard units are rated under. A list of customers using Dry Air 25 is available from GE.

The Zoneline
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. Use of components not specifically designed or approved for use with the Zoneline can result in unsatisfactory operation and can be the cause of failure not covered by the warranty.

Unit Controls
2500 and 3500 series - rotary knobs for temperature and
operation selection 5500 series - touch pad controls with digital readout of
temperature set point
Highly Featured Microprocessor Controls
Microprocessor controls are programmed to interface with the temperature sensors to maximize comfort conditions for the room occupant and provide the outstanding features on the units.
Thermistors are used to sense small changes in temperature to give excellent room control and to allow the microprocessor to monitor and react to changing conditions.
Electric Resistance Heat Lock-Out
To maximize the savings of the heat pump operation, the 5500 series Zoneline does not utilize the resistance heater when the outdoor temperature is above 45°F during normal operation. The resistance heat is used in the Quick Heat Recovery feature.
Automatic Emergency Heat
Heat Pump Defrost Systems
See pages 19 and 20 for discussion of heat pump operation and defrost systems.
High Temperature Heat Pump Operation Protection
Automatically protects the compressor if heat pump is operated with high outdoor temperatures.
Shuts the outdoor fan off if the indoor coil gets too hot during heat pump operation to prevent damage to the compressor.
Quick Heat Recovery - Heat Pump Units
When the unit operation is changed from STOP or COOL to HEAT, the electric resistance heaters are used to warm the room to the thermostat set point. This provides faster room temperature increase for greater guest comfort.
Unit Diagnostics
The 5500 series has a dip switch that activates each of the various components of the unit to operate briefly. This enables the service technician to determine if individual components are functioning properly.
Service Indicator
On the 5500 series, the microprocessor detects a compressor malfunction, the digital temperature display will blink. If the malfunction occurs during cooling operation, the indoor fan will operate to circulate room air. If in the heating mode, the unit will automatically switch to resistance heat so the room occupant will not be uncomfortable. The blinking display is an alert that the unit is operating in the more expensive resistance heat mode.
Fan Motors - Permanently Lubricated
All units have two fan motors for quiet operation and maximum operating efficiency.
Motors are permanently lubricated to reduce maintenance and totally enclosed to keep dirt and water out of the motor windings.
2 Speed Outdoor Fan
The unit automatically selects the most efficient speed for the outdoor fan. The operating sound level is lower when the outdoor fan can operate in low speed yet there are situations where it must operate in high speed - the unit changes the fan speed automatically.
9
Indoor Fan Speed Selections - AUTO/HIGH
Unit may be operated in HIGH HEAT, AUTO HEAT, HIGH COOL or AUTO COOL.
In AUTO, the indoor fan will be in low speed for quieter operation if the room temperature is within 1.8°F of the set point, or in high speed if the room temperature is more than 1.8°F away from the set point.
This feature allows the greatest control over the room temperature while reducing the operating sound level.
Fan Only Setting - HIGH/LOW
The unit provides the option of selecting either HIGH or LOW speed for Fan Only operation.
Fan Cycle Switch - “SmartFan”
Unique SmartFan allows unit to operate in fan continuous in cooling operation and fan cycle in heating to provide better guest comfort. This eliminates complaint of cold air draft during heating operation.
This feature eliminates need of changing fan cycle switch seasonally.
SmartFan settings are controlled by separate fan cycle/ continuous switches for heating and cooling modes.
Indoor Coil Frost Control
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.
Transfer Fan Interface
24 VAC terminals are provided to operate a relay to control a fan mounted in a wall to move conditioned air into another space. Transfer fans and their controlling relays are field supplied.
Electronic Temperature Limiting
7 independent programmable heating temperature limits and 7 independent programmable cooling temperature limits. Wide selection of limits eliminates need to reset the limits seasonally.
Automatic Compressor Random Restart
In the event of a power failure all compressors attempting to restart immediately when power is restored can result in a power surge that can cause another power interruption.
The microprocessor in the Zoneline units have a random restart logic system that prevents all units from starting at the same time.
Rotary Compressor
Smoother operation for quiet, dependable service. GE has used rotary compressors since 1961.
Compressor Restart Delay
Zonelines are designed to provide a minimum of three minutes of compressor off time to allow refrigerant pressures to equalize before restarting, to prevent damage to compressor.
Zonelines are also designed to provide a minimum of three minutes of compressor run time to prevent room occupant disturbance due to short cycling air conditioner.
Freeze Sentinel
Detects low room temperature and turns on heater to help protect against damage by freezing temperature in the room.
Heater automatically turns on at 41°F, warms indoor thermistor temperature to 46°F, and shuts off.
Freeze Sentinel may be turned off by dip switch on auxiliary control.

Energy Management System Interface With Load Shedding Option
All units have a switch on the auxiliary control panel to allow the indoor fan to continue operating if the unit is connected to an Energy Management System that shuts off compressor or heater operation. By allowing the indoor fan to run when the heater or compressor is shut off by the Energy Management System, the guest is less likely to realize the operation of the unit has been altered. This helps to reduce peak energy demand loads without disturbing the room occupant.
Reversible Indoor Air Louvers
Allows air to be directed into room at 40 or 50 degree angles to provide better air distribution.
Angle is changed by removing room front and screws holding louver in place and rotating louver section 180°.
10
Up-Front Air Filters
Two up-front filters, easy to remove and reinstall, may be cleaned without removing the room front.
Clean by brushing, vacuuming, or back flushing under faucet or shower head.
Easy Clean Air Discharge Area
2500 and 3500 series units have an out-of-sight vertical
protective screen over the indoor fan. This allows easy cleaning of air discharge area by simply removing room front and wiping clean.
There is no screen directly below discharge louver to trap unsightly dirt and debris where it may be seen by room occupants.
Concealed Manual Vent Control
Vent can allow up to 70 CFM of outside air to enter the room (40 CFM on 7100 BTUH unit; 65 CFM on 9000 BTUH unit; 70 CFM on 11700 BTUH and 14600 BTUH units). Greater amounts of air can be introduced if the room has an exhaust fan.
An open vent door brings unconditioned outdoor air into the room, increasing heating and cooling costs.
Positive vent door closure prevents accidental opening and unwanted air infiltration.
Shipping hardware may be left on the door for a permanent closure.
Internal Condensate Removal (ICR)
See page 34 for a discussion of the Internal Condensate Removal system available on the 3500 and 5500 series heat pumps.
Enhanced Dehumidification
Moisture removal is an important function of an air conditioner. People are more comfortable at higher temperatures when the humidity level is relatively low. Air conditioners operate with less energy consumption when the room temperatures are set higher.
The GE Zoneline 2500 series with the Dry Air 25 heat pipe application removes 25% more moisture than our base 2500 series unit - which is already an industry leader among the major brands of Packaged Terminal Units.
The GE Zoneline Dry Air 25 chassis is the only unit available with the application of the patented Dinh Dehumidifer Heat Pipe under license from Heat Pipe Technology, Inc.
Customers who are using the Dry Air 25 report a fresher smelling room as a result of the lower humidity levels - as well as lower operating costs.
Locking Door Kit
RAK8022 - A door with a lock, that replaces the standard
control cover door to prevent unauthorized changing of control setting, is offered as an accessory.
Corrosion Protection (Optional)
2500 and 3500 series units may be ordered with special protection to better withstand the damage by salt air and salt water in seacoast areas.
Corrosion protected chassis is standard on Dry Air 25 models.
Heat Pump units with ICR are not available with corrosion protection and should not be installed in seacoast or corrosive environment.
Units installed in corrosive areas should be examined and cleaned more frequently than normal installations.

Central Desk Control
Unit #2

CDC Terminals
on Zoneline
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. Likewise, when the guest checks out, the device is put into the “OFF” position so the unit will not operate while the room is vacant. It is not necessary that the controlling device be located at a central desk to employ a device that will control the unit operation. 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. Some systems operate by motion sensors or heat sensing detectors mounted in the room. These types of systems determine occupant presence in the room and allow the unit to operate; if no one is in the room, the device signals the air conditioner to turn off.
Zoneline models offer Load Shedding capabilities on units connected to Central Desk Control Systems. For more information on the Models Load Shedding Feature, see page 10.
All Zoneline 2500, 3500, and 5500 Series units are compatible with simple on/off 2 wire Central Desk Control systems. Consult with the provider of other energy management systems to be sure they are compatible with the GE Zoneline units. Zoneline units have standard connectors factory installed to provide a CDC interface that permits the unit to be connected to most energy management systems. The devices connected to the Zoneline units require no power supply or transformers 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 switch panel) in the wiring. Both wires comprising the circuit must connect to the unit connectors and to the controlling switch. Running one wire from one unit to another unit is common bussing and may damage internal components or cause erratic operation of the system.
3) A 24 volt transformer is contained within the Zoneline units. No external voltage may be applied to the unit through
the CDC terminals. (Voltage on the CDC conductors is 24 volts AC.)
4) Recommended wire size must be followed as a minimum requirement.

Connecting the Zoneline unit to a CDC system does not eliminate the ability to connect the unit to a remote thermostat. Once the circuit is “opened”, and control of the unit removed from the CDC system, the selected controls ­either the unit mounted control or the remote thermostat ­govern the operation of the unit.
Please see page 57 for installation recommendations for the Central Desk Control wiring.

In some installations, control of the operation of the unit at a location remote to the unit itself may be desired. Unit mounting locations (high in the wall or over a transom) resulting in inaccessible unit mounted controls can be connected to a remote thermostat. Other installations may use remote thermostat control for design or performance enhancement. The unit is
(shown closed)
connected to the thermostat by low voltage wiring, which permits the operation of the unit to be selected and the temperature to be sensed at the thermostat.
All Zoneline 2500, 3500 and 5500 Series units are adaptable to Class 2 remote low voltage thermostat. The only additional field supplied components are the remote thermostat and wiring necessary to connect it.
The controls on the unit are not functional when the remote control function is used.
Resistance Heat Models
The Zoneline 2500 resistance heat units may be connected to a single-stage thermostat designed for use with cooling with electric heat systems. GE offers 3 thermostats compatible with the 2500 series unit.
The Class 2 Mode Switch (dip switch 12 on the auxiliary control board) must be set to the ON/UP mode to enable remote thermostat control. Refer to installation instructions packaged with the chassis.
Please see page 57 for installation recommendations for the remote thermostat wiring.
Compatibility of other thermostats considered for use with the GE Zoneline unit is the responsibility of the customer. The control voltage on the remote control conductors is 24 VAC. The units may not be compatible with some solid state thermostats.
The fan speed for the 2500 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. See the sketch of the unit terminals for the location of the HIGH and LOW fan speed terminals. Operating in low fan speed reduces the operating sound level of the unit.
