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

ensured by the operator
Unit installation
Application area
With the REMKO gas wall heaters from the GPC
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federal
state-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 contaminated 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.

REMKO GPC series
the cable passages for the electrical lines as well
astheplug connection for the power supply.
Intheright-hand side section the necessary
components for the control and safety are found
behind the inspection door, including e.g.:
- the electrical circuitry with the cabling
- the control electronics
- the gas valve
- the modulating gas burner
In the interior of the unit, directly in the circulation air
flow, is the combustion chamber with heat exchanger.
The combustion chamber is manufactured entirely
from Inox stainless steel, AISI 441. For increased
resistance to corrosion from damp vapours, Inox
stainless steel, AISI 441 is used for the heat exchanger.
The special form and the large surface area
ofthecombustion chamber and heat exchanger
guarantee ahigh level of efficiency and long service
life.
The gas burner is likewise manufactured entirely from
special, mechanically-processed stainless steel.
Function of the units
The modulating, gas wall-mounted automatic heaters
of the GPC series has been developed for the heating
of industrial and commercial spaces.
The electronic control of the unit regulates the heat
output according to the actual requirement, between
minimum and maximum output.
With the pre-mix and modulation technology,
efficiency of up to 108% can be achieved.
The nominal heating capacity of the REMKO GPC
series lies between 4.7 and 82.0 kW.
The units consist primarily of the combustion chamber
with heat exchanger and the fan(s).
The ambient air is drawn in by the fan(s)
andefficiently channelled through the combustion
chamber with heat exchanger. The combustion
chamber is heated by the gas burner operation
andreleases its heat to the air flowing past.
Theairheated in this manner is blown out of the front
side of the unit through an adjustable outlet grille.
Operation of the unit as intended is only possible
with a connected temperature controller, e.g. ATR-10
(accessory).
Unit description
Definition of the unit
Pursuant to EU Directives, the unit is defined as:
"Gas fan-assisted heater (WLE) without flow-
operated safety device, equipped with a fan in front
of the heat exchanger".
The unit is a fully-automatic, directly-fired fan-assisted
air heater for wall and ceiling installation.
It can be fuelled with natural gas or liquid gas.
The unit is used for continuous and temporary
heating of open and closed spaces, e.g. in:
halls, workshops,
greenhouses,
storage rooms, etc.
Classification of the units
The units have been classified by the European
standardised regulations EN 437, EN1196 and EN
1020 according to:
The gas category:
Determination according to the type of gases
withwhich they may be operated.
For Germany DE II2ELL3B/P
The gas type:
The burner can be operated with gases of the second
family (natural gas - group H and L) and with gases
ofthe third family (butane and propane).
The type of gas fireplace:
Differentiation according to the possibilities
ofthedischarge of the combustion products
orthesupply ofthe combustion air.
(ambient-air-dependent/independent)
Additional notes can be found in the chapter
"Installation of the flue gas evacuation
andthecombustion air supply".
Design of the units
The exterior cladding of the units is made from coated
steel sheet, which guarantees durability.
The outlet grille is found in the front section.
In order to ensure an optimal distribution of warm
airin the installation location, the horizontal fins
ofthe outlet grille can be manually adjusted.
Onthe rear side of the unit you will find thefan(s)
with protection grid, the connection nozzles
for theremoval of the flue gas and supply
ofthecombustion air, the gas connection nozzles,

7
Air/gas premix
The units are equipped with a burner with complete
air/gas premix.
This mixing process takes place in the fan
oftheburner motor. The air drawn in by the fan flows
through the Ventura tube, where an underpressure
is created, which draws in the gas. In the process,
aconstant air/gas mixture is created.
The ratio of air and gas pressure is 1:1.
This value can be changed through the offset
regulating screw found on the gas valve.
The amount of gas is already adjusted upon delivery
of the units and the screw is sealed.
With the adjusting screw located at the Venturi tube,
a fine adjustment can take place, which regulates
the maximum gas flow rate and thus determines
thecarbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gases
The screw is not sealed in order to enable conversion
of the fan-assisted air heater to another type of gas.
PLEASE NOTE:
For the offset and CO2adjustment.
The control board of the units enables the speed
regulation of the burner motor with DC depending
onthe heat output required in the space.
By changing the speed the air flow rate and thus
thegas flow rate are changed.
Minimum and maximum speeds of the fan are two
values that cannot be changed.
Fans
The switching on of the fans is time-controlled
bythecontrol board, whereby the timing begins
withthe switching-on of the main burner.
The delayed switch-on prevents cold air from being
blown into the room.
Switching off the unit
If there is no longer a heat requirement (room
temperature above the adjusted setpoint), the control
board switches off the burner.
The burner fan runs for the secondary ventilation
ofthe combustion chamber for a fixed, pre-set time.
The fan(s) likewise run afterwards on a time-controlled
basis until the heat exchanger is cooled.
If a new heat requirement should take place during
the follow-up phase, the control board will wait
forthe fans to switch off and then proceed with
areset and begin a new cycle.
CAUTION
Before resetting safety equipment, the cause
ofthe trigger must be identified and rectified.
NOTE
Safety devices may not be bypassed or disabled
during operation of the unit!
IMPORTANT NOTE!
The interruption of the current supply during
burning operation or in the follow-up cooling
phase isnotpermitted, because lack of a secondary
ventilation ofthe heat exchanger can lead
tosignificant damage:
■ Overheating of the unit with the resulting
expiration of the guarantee
■ Damage to the fan of the burner
anditscomponents
■ Tripping of the safety thermostat
andtheassociated lock-out of the safety
thermostat (STB).
Therefore no new unit start without manual
resetting
■ Damage to electrical lines

REMKO GPC series
Cycle of operation
The units from the GPC range are fully-automatic hot
air heaters, which are equipped with an electronic
device with self-testing and with a microprocessor
board for control and adjustment of the burner
output. This guarantees a high degree of reliability
and safety.
Burner operation
The burner is ignited when the following
preconditions are fulfilled:
■ The unit is supplied with power and is not in a fault
lock-out state (lock-out)
■ The gas supply valve is open
■ The contact between terminal ID2 and IDC2
onthe GPC board is closed
■ The thermostat contact between terminal ID2
andIDC2 is closed
■ The On option in the Fun function menu
ofthecontrol panel is selected
Under these conditions, the burner fan starts
immediately. After the pre-flushing process
iscomplete, the flame is ignited with an ignition
output that is 50% of the maximum output. After
subsequently waiting for the stabilisation phase
topass, the burner modulates to the required heating
output, depending on the inlet temperature.
If the flame cannot be ignited then 4 further ignition
attempts take place. With the fifth ignition attempt,
the GPC board triggers a fault lock-out. If the burner
ignites, the cooling fan starts up after 30 seconds
andconveys the warm air into the room.
For the shut-down of the hot air generator,
thecontact between terminals ID2 and IDC2
istobeseparated by an additional switch inaddition
to a thermostat, the thermostat is tobeswitched
offor the OFF option in the function menu
ofthecontrol panel should be selected. It is prohibited
to switch off the unit by disconnecting thepower
supply. This process must be used exclusively
inemergencies. With an instructed switch-off
ofthehot air heater, the burner fan continues
tooperate for a further 90 seconds, inorder to flush
the burner chamber of flue gases. The cooling fan
runs on for 120 seconds after the switch-off, to
ensure that the heat exchanger "cool down" takes
place. If the cool down process is not completed then
this reduces the service life of the heat exchanger
andtherefore also invalidates the guarantee.
Furthermore, the safety thermostat may also
betriggered and necessitate a manual reset.
If, during the cool down phase, a new heating request
is issued then the unit waits until the cooling fan has
switched off, performs a reset and then starts a new
heating cycle.
Efficiency
The advantages of the units lie in the modular mode
of operation, meaning the heat output created and
thus the gas flow (consumption of fuel) are changed
corresponding to the actual requirement. If there
isa reduced heat requirement in the heated space,
the hot air generator consumes less fuel, whereby
itsefficiency is increased up to 108%.

CAUTION
It is prohibited to switch off the unit power supply
as long as the unit is in the cool down phase
andthe unit is set to "On". Non-compliance
withthis prohibition voids the warranty
andincreases wear of the heat exchanger.

9
Intrinsic safety
The increase in efficiency with minimum output is
achieved through the use of a modern air/gas mixture
technology and the simultaneous flow rate regulation
of combustion air and gas.
This technology increases the safety of the unit,
because the gas valve feeds the fuel depending
ontheamount of air in accordance with its factory
settings.
Unlike atmospheric burners, the CO2content
remains the same through the entire operating range
andallows an increase in efficiency with reduction
oftheheat output.
With no combustion air, the valve does not release
gas.
With reduction of the combustion air, the gas valve
automatically reduces the amount of gas and keeps
the combustion parameters at an optimal level.
Modulation
The gas wall heaters are units with modulated gas
burners, whereby every output between the minimum
and maximum settings are possible during operation.
The highest output serves for raising the room
temperature quickly when switching on the units.
If the room temperature approaches the desired
value, the unit begins to continuously reduce the heat
output so that only the actual requirement is covered.
The air is heated less heavily due to the lower heat
output, which limits the physical emergence of layer
formation (tendency of the warm to rise). This creates
temperature layering of approx. 0.5°C per metre.
These results can only be achieved through aprecise
monitoring of the climactic spatial conditions
andanoptimal control of the unit.
With the dimensioning of heating systems with
fan-assisted air heaters, it is important to observe
thenumber of hourly air renewals.
In this regard, please note the following: Gas wall
heaters should, in general, be arranged so that theair
flow rate ensures air recirculation at least twice hourly,
even if this would not be necessary for the heat
output.
Minimal pollutant emissions:
The premix burner provides for "clean" burning
withlow pollutant emissions with the air/gas valve.

REMKO GPC series
Safety thermostat
The GPC unit series is equipped with a safety
thermostat with automatic reset function and positive
safety device as standard. This means that the safety
equipment also triggers with a breakage.
If the thermostat is tripped, the burner is stopped
via the flame monitoring unit and a subsequent fault
lock-out of the flame monitoring unit is triggered.
Fault lock-out is indicated on the LCD display with
F20. The thermostat probe is located behind the top
outflow fins, in the centre of the housing. Because
this is a safety-relevant error, the fault lock-out
ispermanent and requires a manual reset.
Fin alignment
Before switching the unit on, open the fins at least
45°, in order to avoid overheating the combustion
chamber.

is connected to an ATR Smart Basic or ATR
Smart Web, however there is no signal. When
the connection is re-established, the lock-out
is cancelled, manual unlocking is not required.
For the directory and explanation of all faults,
seetheFAULT table in "Faults and fault analysis".
Resets
The modulation board supports the detection
of over 30 different lock-out causes. This means
thatthecausative event can be dealt with perfectly.
To reset a lock-out, press both arrow buttons
simultaneously for a couple of seconds.
The lock-out can be remotely cleared as follows:
Via the digital input ID4-IDC4 - N.O. key;
viatheoptional ATR Smart control;
Use of the ModBus protocol.
If there is no ignition, four further ignition attempts
are carried out by the flame monitoring board, and
lock-out and the display F10 do not take place until
after the fourth attempt.
The fault code and possible cause of the lock-out
are indicated in the FAULT table in "Fault and fault
analysis".
If the flame monitoring device is locked out, faults
F10and F20, the device can also be unlocked
bymeans of the button on the device itself;
this lock-out is also indicated by the LED
onthedevice.
CAUTION: The flame monitoring device incrementally
saves the number of manual resets. In the event of
five resets within 15 minutes without detected flame
ignition, there is a "temporary" fault lock-out (F13).
In this case another 15 minutes are required, before
the unit can be reset again.
By pressing the reset button on the unit, this status
can be immediately reset.
NOTE: If the safety thermostat (STB) is "open" before
the start of the ignition phase, the flame monitoring
device remains in the "standby state" and displays
the fault F15 after 300 seconds.
This can occur, for example, in the cases of low
temperatures.

REMKO GPC series
Resets
The output of the GPC hot air generators can
beadjusted in three different ways:
- 0-10 Vdc;
- ModBus;
- NTC1 temperature probe.
For the correct setting of the control parameters,
the parameter d0 must be previously programmed;
this determines the regulation assigned to the hot
airgenerator
Operation with room temperature controller
The hot air generator operates fully automatically with
the aid of a room temperature controller, by means
ofwhich the room temperature is adjusted.
The room temperature controller and the board
monitor all control and regulation functions, whereas
the flame monitoring unit and the safety thermostat
assume the safety functions.
Operation with the ATR Smart Basic / Web
Control of the hot air generator circuits of the can
be transferred to the ATR-Smart-Basic or Web.
Allsystems use the ModBus protocol and can control
up to 32 hot air generators.
To use the ATR Smart, Web or Basic for temperature
control, the parameter d0 with default setting 2 for
NTC1 control only has to be set to 7 (ModBus control)
on each unit.
The room temperature controllers of the "Smart"
series can be used for monitoring / display and control
(active part of the control).
The ATR Smart controller has an internal temperature
probe that can be connected to a remote control
probe for control. The ATR Smart Basic / Web
have aninternal temperature probe and can
besupplemented by three additional remote control
probes.
The remote probes can be programmed as a main
oradditional element to the internal probe to obtain
amean value between both measurements.
When an "ATR Smart Controller" panel, the following
is also required for control of the adjustment:
- Index unit modules from 1 to 32 by entering
theaddresses of the individual modules via DIP
switches;
- Connect at least one NTC probe to the ATR Smart
controller (or use an internal probe);
- Set the control parameters both on the board
andonthe Smart.
The connectable NTC remote probes must be 10 k
ofthe 3435 type.
The probes must be connected to the NTC/
NTC terminals and can be placed in the room
or attheairintake, depending on the control
requirement.
NOTE: The respective NTC probes are optional
external probes, not to be confused with the NTC1
modulation probe.
The ATR Smart Basic or Web is supplied withavoltage
of 12 Vdc (12 Vdc + 10%/-15%).
To activate the heating request, the input ID1
oftheATR Smart controller must be closed.
For theATR Smart Basic, these are terminals
5and6ofthe terminal block. For the ATR Smart
Web, thisisterminal block M2, terminals 1 and 2.
Thecontacts are bridged as standard.

The ignition status of the burner, the percentage
modulation, the fault messages and the reset can
bedisplayed via the ATR Smart Basic / Web.
The ATR Smart Basic / Web require the following:
Indication of whether the probe is an external probe
(remote control), internal probe or both;
The number of connected devices (slave devices) must
be changed as required;
ON-OFF or PID control must be set;
The heating function (mode: "Heating") and
thedesired setpoint in the room or of the preheat
must be set;
The switch-on times must be set.
For further information on remote operation
ofthecontrollers via ATR Smart Basic or Web, please
refer to the operating manuals.
The ATR Smart Basic or Web calculate the percentage
modulation via the PID control and transmit thisvalue
to the individual modules. The percentage modulation
transmitted to the modules is always thesame.
Ifthesetpoint is exceeded, the generators are
switched off.
The ATR Smart Web version supports the complete
management of all system functions, including
thereset of the devices directly via a PC.
