Chassis Features and Benefits
• Consistent Physical Dimension
Fits all existing GE Zoneline wall cases (see page 21)
The GE Zoneline was first introduced into the marketplace
in 1961. Since that time, efficiencies and features have been
greatly improved. In spite of these improvements, GE
recognizes that some features should stay the same. That’s
why any recently-manufactured Zoneline chassis can be
installed in any Zoneline wall case, regardless of age. The
original Zoneline wall case was 42" wide by 16" high, the
same dimension of the wall case today, enabling a new
Zoneline to be installed in an existing 42" by 16" wall case
without the need for extensive modifications. Note: Existing
outdoor grille may need to be replaced or modified. (see
page 41)

• Controls Conveniently Located, Easy to
Operate
Reduces uncertainty of operation for room occupant
(see page 8)
Zoneline controls are mounted on the top of the unit,
angled for better visibility and access. The controls are
under a door for appearance enhancement. The 2200 Series
and the 3200 Series have rotary controls for temperature
and operation selection. The 5200 Series units have Touch
Pad controls. An optional locking control door, RAK8022 is
available.

• Universal Heater - Premium Models
Resistance heat output of unit can be matched to the heating
demands of the particular area (see pages 38, 39 and 53)
Often, the choice of a Zoneline heater is influenced by the
location of the room it is intended to heat. For instance, the
end room in a wing or the corner rooms on top floors will
have a higher heat loss than interior rooms having only one
wall exposed to the outdoors. These higher heating
demands are often compromised for the sake of equipment
consistency. In many instances, all rooms are sized higher to
accommodate the minority of the rooms having the higher
heat loads. Naturally, such sizing policies result in increased
total connected current load, and quite often, higher overall
energy costs.
In response to this customer need, each Premium Model is
equipped with three built-in heaters and, when connected
with the proper Universal Power Connection Kit (UPC), can
be closely matched to the heating requirements and circuit
ampacity of a specific room. In addition, this feature allows
maintenance personnel to interchange units in rooms
having different heating requirements.

• Discreet Heater - Deluxe Models
Resistance heat output of unit can be matched to the heating
demands of the particular area (see pages 38, 39 and 53)
Deluxe Models offer cost-conscious customers factory-
installed discreet heaters. The ninth character in the Deluxe
Line model number represents the specific wattage of the
heater. A Deluxe Model chassis may be ordered with a
custom resistance heater in any one of the following
KW ratings:
230/208 Volts: 2.55/2.09 KW; 3.45/2.82 KW;
5.00*/4.09 KW
265 Volts: 2.00 KW; 3.00 KW; 4.00 KW; 5.00 KW*

• Reversible Discharge Louver
Enables discharge air flow to be changed to maximize air
distribution and comfort (see page 42)
Reversible louver section on all units.
The discharge louver section comes from the factory set to
exhaust air into the room at an angle of 50° off vertical. The
louver section may be reversed to provide a discharge angle
of 40° off vertical with the simple removal of seven screws,
rotating the louver section end to end, and reinserting the
screws. The screws are located on the inside of the room
cabinet.

• Fan Cycle Switch
Allows indoor fan to be set to run continuously or cycle on and off
with compressor and heater
Setting the fan to cycle off and on with the compressor or
heater results in some energy savings when the fan is not
operating. The amount of energy savings will vary
depending upon many factors.
2200 & 3200 Series: The room cabinet must be removed to
gain access to the fan cycle switch. The switch is set in the
DOWN/OFF position at the factory to provide continuous
fan operation in the cool and heat modes. Leaving the
switch in the continuous setting allows circulation of room
air and will result in a more uniform temperature
throughout the room.
The fan switch on the Deluxe Models is located on the
Auxiliary Control Panel. It is switch number two. Setting the
switch in the UP/ON position will cause the fan to cycle on
and off with the compressor or resistance heater. In humid
climates, operating the unit in “FAN CYCLE” may result in
better dehumidification.
5200 Premium Model: The fan cycle switch is located
behind the room cabinet. The switch is set in the DOWN/
OFF position at the factory to provide continuous indoor fan
operation in the cool and heat modes. Leaving the switch in
the DOWN/OFF setting allows continuous circulation of
room air and will result in a more uniform temperature
throughout the room. In humid climates, operating the unit
in “FAN CYCLE” may result in better dehumidification.
The fan switch on the Premium Models is located on the
Auxiliary Control Panel. It is switch number nine. Setting
the switch in the UP/ON position will cause the fan to cycle
on and off with the compressor or resistance heater.
