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.

Introduction
Today, guests in lodging properties, assisted living facilities and apartments desire rooms with a more home-like appearance.
They expect the comforts they are accustomed to, whether they spend one night or many years. Toward that end, many lodging
properties provide refrigerators, microwave ovens and remote control televisions. Many assisted living facilities provide full-size
kitchen appliances in each individual apartment. All of these improvements are an attempt to improve the comfort
and satisfaction of the occupant by providing a more home-like environment.
Upgrading the air conditioning and heating provides another opportunity to enhance guest comfort. Years ago, an acceptable
means of creating a comfortable environment was to install a window air conditioner and an electric heater mounted on the
wall. The GE Zoneline® was the first packaged terminal air conditioner introduced to the market, and it led the way in improving
comfort and efficiency. And they are still used extensively as an alternative to large, expensive central systems.
However, there are some inherent issues with packaged terminal units. First, since all of the components are contained in the
chassis, the compressor and fan sounds can be heard in the room. In addition, since the units are usually mounted under the
window there are limitations to furniture placement and curtains cannot hang to the floor. Finally, some people find the controls
difficult to adjust for the desired temperature.
The Vertical Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner
To address these issues, GE has introduced the Vertical
Zoneline. It is still a through-the-wall, packaged terminal unit,
but instead of being 42" wide and installed in the middle of
the room, it has a vertical configuration and is installed in a
closet-like corner enclosure. The GE Zoneline Vertical Packaged
Terminal Air Conditioner (ZVAC) is approximately 24" x 24" and
has a top air discharge that is ducted into a single room or
multiple rooms. It is controlled by a wall-mounted thermostat
similar to those found in most homes.
Because the new ZVAC is installed in a closet, it provides
a more home-like appearance to the room as well as quieter
operation. And guests prefer the wall thermostat because
it provides more precise settings. Since the vertical Zoneline
is not installed under a window in the middle of the room,
curtains can hang all the way to the floor, and more versatile
room designs are possible. Because the unit is ducted, it can
serve a single room or multiple rooms.
The GE Zoneline Vertical Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner
is a great option to standard PTACs for cooling and heating
a variety of rooms. It provides the costs benefit of packaged
terminal units with the aesthetics, quieter operation and
flexibility of a central system.

The GE Zoneline® Vertical Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner
The GE Zoneline® vertical air conditioner is available in 9,500 BTUH, 11,700 BTUH or 17,500 BTUH cooling capacity with either
resistance heat, cool only or heat pump units with resistance heat backup. Each cooling capacity is available in a dual rated
unit that operates on either 230 volts or 208 volts and in a unit designed to operate on 265 (277) volts. All units, except cool only
models are equipped with a 3-element universal heater that provides 2.55 kW or 3.45 kW or 5.0 kW when connected with the
appropriate 9-pin power connection kit to 230-volt or 265-(277) volt power. The dual rated 230/208-volt unit will produce 2.09 kW
or 2.82 kW or 4.09 kW when connected to 208-volt power. See page 12 for information on the power connection kits.

Features and Benefits
geappliances.com
Excellent efficiency and dehumidification
GE recognizes the importance of energy efficiency and
dehumidification in an air conditioning system and uses
EER (Energy Efficiency Rating) as a means of reporting the
relative cooling efficiency of the unit.
EER is the rating system used for Packaged Terminal Air
Conditioners and Heat Pumps.
The GE Zoneline® Vertical Packaged Terminal Heat Pump has
outstanding COP ratings. The measurement of the efficiency
of the heat pump output, when compared to electric resistance
heat, is called the Coefficient of Performance (COP). 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 with the same range of
capacity to one another.
Unique Sleeve Design
The ZVAC case is installed on a field supplied platform and
attached to the wall plenum with field supplied screws. See
page 10 for platform construction details.
The chassis slides into the sleeve, allowing for easy removal
of the unit for servicing and cleaning without the need to
remove condensate lines.
Three-Way Slide-Out Chassis
The case is designed to allow the installation of the chassis
from the front or either side of the case. This provides greater
flexibility in building and room design and unit placement. If
access to the front of the unit is restricted by a wall or furniture
placement, the chassis can slide in from either side of the case.
If an alcove or offset is designed into the building facade,
the three-way slide-out chassis enables the unit to be easily
installed and removed for service.
Electronic Temperature Limiting
Although the vertical unit is controlled by a wall mounted
thermostat, there may be a need to prevent the temperature
from being set to extreme energy wasting settings. The ZVAC unit
has seven independent programmable heating and cooling
temperature limits. A wide selection of limits eliminates the
need to reset the limits seasonally. The Temperature Limiting
feature requires the use of the optional room air temperature
sensor, model RAVRMS. Designed to be mounted on the wall
of the unit enclosure closet, the Room Air Temperature Sensor
allows any compatible thermostat to be used with the unit and
provide Temperature Limiting.
The limits are set by dip switches located on the ZVAC unit and
are not accessible by the room occupant. Location of the dip
switches and the temperature settings are shown on page 14.
Cooling Temperature Limits degrees F.
Min 60° 64° 66° 68° 70° 72° 74° 76°
Max 85° 85° 85° 85° 85° 85° 85° 85°
Heating Temperature Limits degrees F.
Min 60° 60° 60° 60° 60° 60° 60° 60°
Max 85° 80° 78° 76° 74° 72° 70° 65°
Freeze Sentinel
To prevent damage to plumbing and room furnishings by
freezing temperatures, the ZVAC unit can provide Freeze
Sentinel which turns the resistance heaters on at 41° F.,
warms the indoor air to 46° F., and shuts the heater off.
The Freeze Sentinel feature requires the use of the optional
Room Air Temperature Sensor, model RAVRMS.
Designed to be mounted on the room side wall of the unit
enclosure closet, the Room Air Temperature Sensor allows any
compatible thermostat to be used with the unit and
provide Freeze Sentinel protection. The Freeze Sentinel
protection is automatic with the installation of the RAVRMS.
Even if the unit is connected to a Central Desk Control system
or a Room Occupancy Sensor system, and the unit is turned
off by the controlling system, Freeze Sentinel is still active to
provide protection. It may be defeated by switching the unit’s
ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, removing the power supply
to the unit or putting #2 dip switch in UP position.
™
Constant ON fan
Some localities may require the indoor fan on Packaged
Terminal Air Conditioners to operate at all times, even when
the wall primary control would normally turn the unit off. To
accommodate this requirement and provide the feature for
use by anyone wanting to operate the unit in this manner,
GE has provided a switch on the ZVAC that will allow this
mode of fan operation.
If the controlling dip switch (#3) is set in the UP setting, the fan
will run unless the unit’s ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF
position or power is removed from the unit.
