REMKO GPS Series User Manual

Selection of the installation location
With determination of the installation location,
the requirements must be coordinated in regard to:
■ Fire protection and operational hazard
■ Function: Space heating, underpressure and/or
overpressure in the installation space, etc.
■ Operational concerns, heat requirement, nominal
air flow rate, air recirculation requirement,
humidity, room temperature, air distribution, spatial
requirements
■ Installation, repair and maintenance possibilities.
The units must be installed in such a way that they
are always easily accessible for maintenance and
repair work.
With improper installation and operation, hazards
may arise from the units. Prior to the planning and
during the unit installation, the following points must
absolutely be observed.
■ The units must be installed and operated in such a
way that personnel are not endangered by flue gas
and radiant heat and no fires may occur
■ During installation of the units it must be ensured
that the flow of warm air does not have damaging
effects on the surroundings
■ Fire hazards must be eliminated through
the selection of materials for the installation
and position surfaces. For this purpose, see TRGI,
Section 5.1.3.3
■ The wall or ceiling intended for installation must
also consist of non-flammable materials. Its load
capacity must be checked; reinforcements must
be installed when necessary
■ Brackets must be securely anchored to the wall
or ceiling and the units must be attached to
the brackets at the points provided for this purpose
in the factory
■ Appropriate maintenance possibilities for heat
exchangers, burners, fan and flue gas evacuation
must be planned for
■ It must be possible to actuate control elements
for the units and fuel supply from the ground.
Maintenance and repair possibilities must be
ensured by the operator
Unit installation
Application area
With the REMKO gas wall heaters from the GPS
range, it is possible to heat small rooms, such
as workshops, right through to large spaces such
as industrial warehouses, sports halls, etc.
For efficient heating it is therefore essential to
determine the necessary heat output by professionally
calculating the heat requirement for the respective
space.
General prerequisites
With the installation of the units, the local and
country-specific provisions and guidelines must
be observed in the respective valid version as a basic
rule.
Work such as the following:
■ gas and electrical installation
■ conversion of the gas type
■ commissioning
■ adjustments or maintenance may only be carried
out by qualified technicians
In addition to a faultless electrical and gas installation,
it is also ensured through this measure that all
necessary measurements and test are conducted.
■ The units must be inspected by an authorised
service technician at least once yearly.
For this purpose, concluding a service contract with
a service company is recommended
■ During planning and installation of the flue gas
routeing, the structural possibilities as well as the
applicable local and country-specific regulations
must be consistently adhered to
■ In heavily soiled environments, care and
maintenance measures must be carried out
in accordance with the respective conditions.
The combustion air must be fed from outside
as a basic rule
CAUTION
The units must not be set up or installed in areas
with explosive or corrosive atmospheres.
