Introduction
This manual is designed to provide product, performance
and application information to our customers and their
architects and engineers for use in selection and design
of a zonal comfort control system utilizing GE Zoneline
®
Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTAC) and Packaged
Terminal Heat Pumps (PTHP). GE Zoneline PTACs and PTHPs
are self-contained units designed for through-the-wall
installations in hotels, motels, apartments, hospitals,
nursing homes, add-on rooms and many other installations.
Zonelines provide individual room or zone control in both
cooling and heating operation. There is a model for practically
every application, ranging in cooling capacity from 7,100 to
14,700 BTUH and heating capacity from 6,400 to 13,400 BTUH
in heat pump operation. See pages 42 and 54 for resistance
heaters available.
Zoneline offers a two-tier lineup: the Deluxe Line and the
Premium Line. The Deluxe Line consists of the 2900 Series
with electric resistance heat, the 2900 Series Dry Air 25 Models
with enhanced dehumidification for hot and humid climates
and the 3900 Series heat pump. The 3900 Series heat pump
features reverse cycle defrost and simultaneous supplemental
resistance heat, when needed, to maintain room comfort.
The Premium Line features the 5800 Series heat pump with
reverse cycle defrost and supplemental resistance heat, when
needed, to maintain room comfort, plus tactile touch controls
with digital display and standard corrosion protection.

heating/cooling units
— Replacement units fit existing 42"-wide by 16"-high
wall cases
• Quiet Operation
— Indoor double cut-off scroll: two fan motor 2900 and 3900
Series units
— Indoor cross-flow blower: 2 fan motor 5800 Series units
• Energy-Saving Operation
— Units in unoccupied areas may be turned off
— Designed for efficient cooling operation — EERs from 10.0
to 13.0
— Efficient heat pump units — COPs from 3.2 to 3.6
— Extended heat pump operation without sacrificing
room comfort
• Ease of Maintenance
— Permanently lubricated fan motors
— Upfront lift-out interchangeable filters

— Slide-out chassis for easy access for cleaning or if
service is required
• Reverse Cycle Heat Pump Operation
Both the 3900 and the 5800 Series heat pumps utilize
the unique GE PTAC heat pump operation to ensure a
comfortable room. The logic used by the units is the
same logic used by central system heat pumps to
provide greater savings.
