Replacing an existing unit?

If you have any questions, call the GE Answer Center at 800.626.2000.

Check the “Essential Elements” label for important information.

•Use the correct wall case.

This chassis is designed to be installed in an insulated wall case. This minimizes condensation from forming on the room side of the case. If the current wall case is not insulated, you can reduce the pos- sibility of condensation forming by installing insulation kit RAK901L, available where you purchased the chassis.

•Use the correct outdoor grille.

You should use the outdoor grilles shown on the “Essential Elements” label on the top of the chassis.

•If an existing grille is not replaced, capacity and efficiency will be reduced and the unit may fail to operate properly or fail pre- maturely. A deflector kit, RAK40, may be used with grilles that were not designed for current AZ Series GE Zonelines. The RAK40 contains air deflectors and gas- kets that mount to the chassis to direct the hot exhaust air away from the air intake to allow the unit to function properly. The grille must have a 65% free area.

•Any vertical deflectors in the existing grille should be removed to decrease condenser air recirculation which can cause the unit to “short-cycle” and lead to premature component failure.

•Replacing a ducted chassis.

CAUTION: The Zoneline 5100 series is not approved for use in a ducted installation. (A normal ducted chassis has a duct adapter and duct extension connected to the unit to direct some of the air into an adja- cent room.)

•Replacing 230/208 volt units.

See page 12.

•Replacing 265 volt units.

The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires units connected to a power source over 250 volts to be permanently connected.

GE power connector kits required for this model are listed on the “Essential Elements” label on top of the new chassis.

Power connector kits with an “L” or “LF” suffix include a length of conduit designed for use with RAK203 sub-base.

If you are using a different sub- base, order a kit without the “L” or “LF” suffix. You will have to supply the proper length of conduit and the necessary conduit connectors. If the existing sub-base has a recep- tacle or connector inside, remove it. Using a GE power connection kit, reconnect the unit wiring to the building wiring via conduit. This wiring must be contained in conduit to comply with the NEC.
