Features and Benefits
Standard Physical Dimensions
GE has maintained the same dimension since 1961- 42" wide x 16” high x 13 3/4" deep.
Replacement of older units made easy.
Weather Protected Electrical Components
Vital electrical components are protected from the weather by locating them on the indoor side of the weather barrier.
Weather-Resistant “Superseal”
Properly installed unit in undistorted case keeps air leakage to a minimum.
7 CFM air infiltration with 25 MPH wind on
Industry specification is 19 CFM of air infiltration.

Unit Controls
2500 and 3500 series - rotary knobs for temperature and operation selection
5500 series - touch pad controls with digital readout of temperature set point
Highly Featured Microprocessor Controls
Microprocessor controls are programmed to interface with the temperature sensors to maximize comfort conditions for the room occupant and provide the outstanding features on the units.
Thermistors are used to sense small changes in temperature to give excellent room control and to allow the microprocessor to monitor and react to changing conditions.
Electric Resistance Heat Lock-Out
To maximize the savings of the heat pump operation, the 5500 series Zoneline does not utilize the resistance heater when the outdoor temperature is above 45°F during normal operation. The resistance heat is used in the Quick Heat Recovery feature.
Automatic Emergency Heat
Heat Pump Defrost Systems
See pages 19 and 20 for discussion of heat pump operation and defrost systems.
High Temperature Heat Pump Operation Protection
Automatically protects the compressor if heat pump is operated with high outdoor temperatures.
Shuts the outdoor fan off if the indoor coil gets too hot during heat pump operation to prevent damage to the compressor.
Quick Heat Recovery - Heat Pump Units
When the unit operation is changed from STOP or COOL to HEAT, the electric resistance heaters are used to warm the room to the thermostat set point. This provides faster room temperature increase for greater guest comfort.
Unit Diagnostics
The 5500 series has a dip switch that activates each of the various components of the unit to operate briefly. This enables the service technician to determine if individual components are functioning properly.
Service Indicator
On the 5500 series, the microprocessor detects a compressor malfunction, the digital temperature display will blink. If the malfunction occurs during cooling operation, the indoor fan will operate to circulate room air. If in the heating mode, the unit will automatically switch to resistance heat so the room occupant will not be uncomfortable. The blinking display is an alert that the unit is operating in the more expensive resistance heat mode.
Fan Motors - Permanently Lubricated
All units have two fan motors for quiet operation and maximum operating efficiency.
Motors are permanently lubricated to reduce maintenance and totally enclosed to keep dirt and water out of the motor windings.
2 Speed Outdoor Fan
The unit automatically selects the most efficient speed for the outdoor fan. The operating sound level is lower when the outdoor fan can operate in low speed yet there are situations where it must operate in high speed - the unit changes the fan speed automatically.
