The fan speed for the 4100 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 below for the location of
the HIGH and LOW fan-speed terminals. Operating the unit in
low fan speed reduces the operating sound level of the unit.
Freeze Sentinel
and Heat Sentinal remain operational if the
unit is connected to a remote thermostat. The unit may be
connected to a Central Desk Control (CDC) system and
controlled with a remote thermostat when the CDC system has
the unit in operation. See page 14 for additional information on
the CDC system.
Unit temperature limiting settings are not functional when unit
is connected to a remote thermostat.

Remote Thermostat Control
In some installations, control of the operation of the unit at
a location remote from the unit itself may be desired. A unit
mounted high in the wall or over a door, for instance, where
the unit-mounted controls are inaccessible, can be connected
to a wall-mounted thermostat. Other installations may use
remote thermostat control for design or performance
enhancement. The unit is connected to the thermostat by
low-voltage wiring which permits the operation of the unit to
be selected and the temperature sensed at the thermostat.
Important Notes: Remote thermostat wiring should NOT be
run through wall case. Thermostat wiring should exit the
wall below the unit and enter the unit between room cabinet
and chassis. Wire molding may be used to hide thermostat
wiring. If a sub-base is used, the thermostat wiring may be
concealed by the sub-base. Thermostat wiring should NOT be
run parallel to line voltage wires since induced current may
cause erratic operation.
All Zoneline 4100 and 6100 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 4100 resistance heat units may be connected
to a single-stage thermostat designed for use with cooling
with electric heat systems. GE offers two thermostats
compatible with the 4100 Series unit.

The remote thermostat-Class 2 option (Mode 6 in the auxiliary
control setting) must be turned ON to enable remote
thermostat control. Refer to installation instructions packaged
with the chassis.
Please see page 55 for installation recommendations for
the remote thermostat wiring.
Compatibility of other thermostats considered for use with
GE Zoneline units is the responsibility of the customer. The
control voltage on the remote control conductors is 24 volts
AC. The AC voltage may not be compatible with some
solid-state thermostats.
When a Zoneline unit is using a remote thermostat control,
the RAK806 Universal
Control Cover Label is
recommended. The
RAK806 is only
available in a
package of 10 labels.
The label is placed
over the control panel
to direct the user to
the wall thermostat
for operation of the
Zoneline unit.
