Safety-conscious working
Observe the following safety notice for your own safety:
When working with electrical voltage:
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Disconnect all electric power of the unit and ensure that power cannot be inadvertently switched on, earth, short-circuit and block off all neighbouring live
parts. Non-compliance can lead to death or serious injury.
For all kinds of work:
PERSONAL INJURY!
If the unit is in operation, there is a threat of personal injury!
Impact danger the door at the pressure side can tear open.
Demolition danger as a result of the negative pressure at the door on the
inlet side
Risk of personal injuries by rotating unit components.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!
The operation against closed louvre dampers can lead to serious damage to
the plant from positive or negative pressure, especially if the louvre dampers
suddenly slam shut.
DANGER SHARP CUTTING EDGES!
For any work at the unit, there is a risk of danger of being cut by the thin metal
sheets or fins. This especially concerns the maintenance or cleaning of the
heating unit or cooler fin surfaces.
Any kind of work on the unit can only be carried out if:
All power is removed from the low-profile unit and the unit is electrically dead

Technical Specifications
2.1
Unit description
One of the primary functions of the GEA ATpicco low-profile air handling unit is
the assurance of energy-saving room air exchange. The unit's chamber structure
permits an adaptation to the individual requirements of heating ventilation and air
conditioning equipment technology. Depending on the configuration, the supply
air can be filtered, heated, cooled, humidified, or dehumidified. Thanks to heat
recovery in recuperators, energetic operation demands (energy costs) are considerably lower. The offer includes the recuperators in the form of plate-type heat
exchangers, heat pipes, or liquid-coupled heat exchangers.
Our goal is to ensure that the air volume and air quality correspond precisely to
customer demands. The GEA ATpicco low-profile air-handling units are fundamentally used for transporting and treating "normal air" in recreational rooms or
in commercial/industrial premises.
The operation manual is an integrated (indispensable) component of the unit, and
should be read through completely and observed in practice.
The units can be delivered in various model sizes and power capacities. Depending on the operating mode (type of use), the GEA ATpicco low-profile air handling
units are delivered with vertical or horizontal air routing; the units can be arranged
next to each other or one over the other. The installation may only take place in
interior spaces.
The chamber structure of the GEA ATpicco low-profile air handling unit permits
the division of the unit into smaller components suitable for shipping, which facilitates the handling at the installation site. Since the units can be ordered in various
model sizes as well as split into smaller shipping packages, the GEA ATpicco lowprofile air handling unit is also suited for the modernization of existing buildings.
2.2
Unit design and working procedure

Thanks to the chamber unit design and an entire series of versions, there are different installation possibilities.

4.5
Component and accessory assembly

Procedure similar to the connection of the heat exchanger, humidifier etc. the
water system may only be connected by qualified skilled workers who possess
sufficient knowledge of safety regulations on accident prevention and regulations for safety and health at the workplace
4.5.1 General conditions
Examine the unit for possible visible damages, correct assembly and
fastenings.
Examine whether the unit has been insulated against vibrations and structure-
borne noise. This means that:

- wherever the unit is installed on the floor and where there is no special
requirements on insulation against structure-borne noise, isolate the
foundation from the unit (e.g. by means of rubber plates).
- Use spring sound attenuators for ceiling mounting
- for special requirements on the acoustics, suitable noise and vibration
insulation types were selected.
Before you begin to connect the water system, check the following points:
- all deepest locations of the water system must be furnished with an outlet
valve (drain valve) in order to make it possible to completely empty the water
circulation system in case of need (for maintenance or repair work).
- easily accessible air vent valves must be installed at all highest locations of
the water system.
Convince yourself that the piping is filled and that the pipes were previously
cleaned, and that there is a cleaning comment to this effect.
4.5.2 Connection of the air-treatment piping

In order to avoid transmission of structure-borne noise, an empty connection must
be made between the unit and the air-treatment piping by constructing a flexible
canvas connection or other sound attenuator (see also chapter Sound attenuator on Page 19).
When connecting the air-treatment piping to the unit with the flexible canvas connection, make sure the installation distance is less than the length of the flexible
canvas supports in an extended state.

RISK OF ACCIDENT DUE TO ELECTRICAL CURRENT!
When working on the electrical plant, make sure that the unit is switched off and
no wires are live.
The connection diagrams do not specify any protective measures. These must
be provided by others on-site.
The electric heater bank is equipped with a connection box.
Before connection, examine whether the operating voltage specified on the

unit identification plate corresponds to the existing supply voltage.
Make the connection exactly according to the connection diagram.

The connection may only be carried out by licensed skilled workers.

27
GEA ATpicco
NOTICE!
Electrical installations of the GEA ATpicco HVAC equipment may only be carried out by qualified specialists.
In performing the electrical connection of the units, make sure to observe all the
valid safety instructions and generally approved technical practice.
Earthing!
Make certain that the grounding and protective circuits of low-profile units and
their components were carried out. The protective earth cross-section must
conform to EN 61800-5-1 standards.
Passive switch contacts must be exclusively used for safe electrical electric circuits.
NOTICE!
If the unit is not furnished with a service switch (repair switch), an all-pole disconnecting switch must be installed on-site in accordance with the relevant
standards! If the installation requires the use of an earth leakage circuit breaker
for EC motors, it is necessary to use types sensitive to universal current (type
B or B+, current 300 mA, with delay).
Disconnect all electric power to the unit and ensure the power cannot be inadvertently switched on. Examine the unit for zero-voltage, then earth and shortcircuit all live parts. Non-compliance can lead to death or serious injury. An
electrical load can occur in the parallel circuit between the network and circuit
breaker.
NOTICE!
An asymmetrical supply or phase failure may cause an increase of the leakage
currents above the nominal values specified by the motor manufacturer. Also
during motor fan standstill, idle current is measurable at the unit (<250mA). The
energy consumed at standstill is <5W.
After switching the unit voltage-free, the electrical control current circuit of an
EC motor remains switched (0-10); deactivate the control voltage (0V).
5.1
General conditions
Visual inspection of all mechanical parts
Conduct a visual inspection of the entire unit and all installed components
The following points must be examined before connecting the electrical installation:
The characteristics of the main power supply (main current supply) must conform to the requirements stipulated in the EN 60204-1 ed.2 standards and the
unit's requirements for power feed.
Select the correct protection class based on the evaluation of the unit's power
characteristics.
Ensure that the main voltage supply is between 95 105% of the electric motor nominal voltage.
28
GEA ATpicco
5.1.1 Installation of the cable (clamp terminal)

The cable connections must be performed in compliance with the local regulations and code of practice.
An authorized electrician determines the type of cable and wire cross-section.
The connections carried out on-site and the terminal distribution must be suited
for high temperatures.
For the connection of the thermal motor protection as well as for the control of the
EC motor, shielded terminals are recommended, whereby the shielding is connected on one side of the switch box with the protective conductor terminal (PE).
The decision to apply electrical shielding at both ends can only be made on site
(e.g. in case of severe interference) in observance with the relevant applicable
local regulations and codes of practice.
After successful cable installation all cable entry points must be sealed in a
splash-proof (protection against splash water).
Avoid installing the cable glands or laying cable in the vicinity of service pan
els, entry panels, panel connections, and cover strips.

The cable glands are not allowed to be the cause of any leaks.
The control and feed line should be laid separately on-site; a distance of 10 cm is
recommended.
5.2
Connecting the unit

Separate grounding of every chamber with an electrical connection is required.
5.2.1 Motor protection

AC motor protection with thermal contact
Thermal contacts are temperature-dependent operating elements for automatic
monitoring of the motor winding temperature. Thermal contacts are integrated in
motor windings and enable additional protection compared to motor protection or
thermal cut-outs:
insufficient cooling
high ambient temperature
extreme speed reduction in the course of control and regulation operations
motor disconnection in case of control-voltage line failure
faulty contacts and cable breakage in the control circuit.
The thermal contact opens if the allowed winding temperature is exceeded. As a
result, the mains circuit of the control unit is interrupted. The fan protection takes
hold (the fan relay opens) and separates the motor from the mains.
The motor protection is intrinsically safe.
EC motor protection with collective error message
The electronic motor full protection function is based on the principle of a closed
circuit. An error message is produced using relay contacts (NC, COM). In the
event of a motor fault, the relay is activated and the motor is separated. It is necessary to remove the malfunction to continue operation.
29
GEA ATpicco
5.2.2 Connecting the electric motors

In order to guarantee the correct function of the unit, you must connect the motors
so that they turn in the correct direction.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!
Before connecting the electric motor, check for the correct assignment of the
phase sequence for the prescribed rotation direction. The electric motor can be
damaged if incorrectly connected.
The terminals of a three-phase motor are labeled in such a way that the alphabetical sequence of the terminal designation U1, V1, W2 corresponds to the temporal
sequence of the phases L1, L2, L3.
One-speed single-phase AC
motors:
One-speed three-phase AC
motor with Y/D start-up:
Three-phase EC motors with
continuous speed control:
Voltage fluctuations
The electric motor rotation direction can be reversed by exchanging two connecting wires:
Exchange the connecting cables, e.g. U1 with V1
Y-circuitry: exchange the connecting wires, e.g. U1 with V1
-circuitry: exchange the connecting wires, e.g. U2 with V2
The phase sequence is unimportant.
Make certain that motors at rated frequency are supplied with a voltage between 95% and 105% of the nominal voltage. Only under these conditions can
motors deliver their nominal power, otherwise there is a risk of damage.
When connecting the unit, proceed as follows:
Connect the unit according to the wiring diagram.
