Heat Pump Models
The Zoneline 6100 Series heat pump units may be
®
connected to a single-stage cooling/two-stage heating
thermostat designed for use with heat pump systems.
GE offers two thermostats compatible with the
6100 series units:
RAK148D1 — RAK148P1 —
solid-state digital solid-state digital
thermostat programmable
requiring six thermostat
connection wires. requiring six
connection wires.
Please see page 55 for installation recommendations
for the remote thermostat wiring. Compatibility of other
thermostats considered for use with the GE Zoneline
unit is the responsibility of the customer.
The control voltage on the remote control conductors is 24 VAC.
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.
The fan speed for the 6100 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 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.

When connected to a remote thermostat, the indoor-air-
temperature sensing is shifted from the unit to the remote
thermostat. For this reason, the units will operate slightly
differently when connected to a remote thermostat. The
above chart shows the unit operation when connected
to a remote thermostat.
Boost heat option should NOT be used with remote
thermostat operation since this will cause the unit to
switch to resistance heat when outdoor temperatures
are below 46ºF.
