trucks, such as lifting trucks and forklift trucks, are suitable for
transporting it.
Scope of delivery
– ROTEX GCU compact (preassembled),
– Bag of accessories (see fig. 4-8),
– External temperature sensor (
RoCon OT1
), for weather-con-
trolled regulation
– Document pack.
For additional accessories, see the ROTEX price list.
4.4 Installing the GCU compact
4.4.1 Selecting the installation site
The installation site for the ROTEX GCU compact must meet the
minimum requirements below (see also chap. 1.2.3).
Installation area
– The base must be level and smooth and have a sufficient
ground load-bearing capacity
of
1050 kg/m²
plus safety
factor. Install a pedestal if necessary.
– Observe the installation dimensions (see chap. 4.1).
Installation room
– There are no special conditions for ventilation of the installa-
tion room for ambient air-independent operations (using a
concentric air/flue gas system).
– In partial ambient air-independent and ambient-dependent
mode, the installation room must have a ventilation opening
of at least
150 cm
2
to the outside. If the flue gas line is routed
to the outside through an installation shaft, it must be rear-
ventilated (see chap. 4.2.2).
– For partial ambient air-independent and for ambient air-
dependent mode, the installation room must be free from
aggressive vapours (e.g. hair spray, perchloroethylene, car-
bon tetrachloride), heavy dust formation and high atmos-
pheric humidity (e.g. washhouse).
–
Outdoor installation
is not permissible.
– Installation in an explosion-risk environment is not permissi-
ble.
– The electronic controller may never be exposed to the effects
of the weather.
– The storage tank may
not be exposed to continuous direct
sunlight
, as the UV radiation and the effects of the weather
will damage the plastic.
– The GCU compact must be installed
protected from frost
.
Surface temperatures, minimum distance
– In ambient air-independent mode with rated power, the
design does not allow temperatures > 70 °C on any compo-
nent outside the unit panels. Therefore, no minimum distance
is specified for components made with flammable materials.
WARNING!
The ROTEX GCU compact is top-heavy when unfilled and could
tilt over during transport. That could put persons in danger or
damage the unit.

WARNING!
The plastic wall of the storage tank of the ROTEX GCU compact
can melt under the effects of external heat (>80 °C) and, in the
extreme case, can catch fire.
●
Only install the ROTEX GCU compact with a minimum
distance of 1 m to other heat sources (>80 °C) (e.g.
electrical heater, oil heater, chimney) and the material to be
combusted.
CAUTION!
If the ROTEX
GCU compact
is not installed a
sufficient
distance
below
the flat solar panels (the top edge of the storage
tank is higher than the bottom edge of the solar panels), the
unpressurised solar system in the outdoor area will not be able
to drain completely.
●
When a solar connection is used, install the GCU compact
low enough at the flat solar panels (observe minimum
gradient in the solar connection lines).
