This book should be retained with the unit or made easily accessible to installation and maintenance personnel. AIRA GDH units are a direct fired heater. AIRA GDH units are produced in 5 different capacities to suit a wide variety of installation requirements and can be paired with AL coolers to provide a combined heating and cooling solution.
1.1.8 Operational Safety AIRA GDH Heaters must not be operated until the unit has been commissioned by qualified persons. The unit should not be operated if any safeguards, panels or controls have been removed, damaged or bi-passed.
SAFETY 1.1.10 Safety Points to Consider • What is the best and safest access to the roof and/or work areas? • If a worker is alone, who knows they are there and if they get into difficulty, how can they summon help? (Call someone on the ground? Mobile phone? etc.) •...
Check the appliance to ensure that the GDH unit that has been supplied will operate with the available gas supply, i.e. Natural or LPG gas. 2.3 FACTORY UNIT TEST All AIRA GDH units are given a factory unit test which covers the function test and checks of the safety system including; •...
3. Wiring Diagram 4. Valve Train Layout. This information can be requested from Seeley international when ordering the unit. Isolation of the gas and electrical supplies to the units shall be accessible and identifiable at all times. GDH units must be supplied with fresh air only (Return air is not optional).

INSTALLATION INFORMATION 3.2 INSTALLATION The following recommendations are not intended to supplant or take precedence over relevant official regulations. AIRA GDH units are designed essentially as a roof top or external ground mount unit. 3.2.1 Location This equipment is not designed for long and complex air distribution ductwork and as such the unit should be located as close as practicable to the points of air distribution.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION 3.2.3 Weight And Location For roof mounting, the building’s roof must be adequately designed to support the unit weight and any service personnel. If in doubt a suitably qualified Civil or Structural Engineer should be engaged to conduct an assessment. The below figures and tables list the weights of the units.
3.3.2 User Control Configuration Optionsit There are 2 primary control options for AIRA GDH units, Rotary switch and BMS. Units are specified with either a rotary switch or capability to be wired for BMS interface. Rotary switch units have a Siemens room thermostat supplied...
INSTALLATION INFORMATION 3.3.3 Blower / Fan Setup GDH units are supplied with a pressure switch that only allows gas to flow once airflow is detected. The pressure switch is to be set during the commissioning of the unit. Blowers/fan shall be installed in a location in accordance with 3.2.7 Positioning and Securing. 3.4 GAS CONNECTIONS 3.4.1 Gas Supply This unit must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION 3.4.8 Pilot Injector Setup The pilot mounts to a bracket attached to the side of the burner. The burner with the pilot attached should be in the center of the burner chamber. The Pilot Ignitor, Spark Ignitor and Flame Rod comes as an assembly. Care must be taken when working on the pilot system not to damage the aluminum gas hard line.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION 3.4.9 Leaving Air Temperature Sensor GDH units have a leaving air temperature that comes wound up inside the control box. It is the installers responsibility to run the leaving air temperature sensor 1000mm downstream of the burner. Figure 11: Air Temperature Sensor...
COMMISSIONING INFORMATION 4.0 COMMISSIONING Prior to commencement ensure Main Isolator Switch is OFF and correct electrical Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) procedures are followed. Failure to do so may result in Injury or Death. A commissioning report template is available in Appendix D of this document. AS5601.1 Appendix O provides additional guidelines for commissioning.
1. Confirm that the gas valve is set up for type of gas being supplied to the unit. GDH units will have different operation pressures for natural gas and LPG. Refer to the label supplied on the unit. If the gas type does not match the label contact Seeley International. 2. Confirm that main burner is free from obstruction.
COMMISSIONING INFORMATION 4.4.3 Setting the Modulating Valve Motor Valve to motor alignment and limits are factory preset. Site gas pressure may differ to factory requiring modulating motor limit adjustment. The minimum low fire rate shall be within the limits specified in 3.4.6 Standard operating pressure of the gas valve To set the fire rate follow the steps below;...
COMMISSIONING INFORMATION 4.5 SETTING CONTROLS 4.5.1 Leaving Air Temperature Control GDH units have a leaving air temperature which can be found in the top right-hand corner of the control box. The unit sensor will come from the factory set as 80°C as this is the maximum allowable temperature under AS3814 Section 5.7 Direct fired air heaters and curtains.
COMMISSIONING INFORMATION 4.6 GENERAL OPERATION 1. Remove all foreign objects from blower casing and ensure that all access panels are installed and secured. 2. Connect manometers to confirm the main burner and supply pressures. 3. Isolate main gas valve. Deisolate gas and electrical supply to the heater. 4.
COMMISSIONING INFORMATION 4.7 COMBUSTION PRODUCT TESTING Once the unit operation has been confirmed the combustion products produced are to be tested and recorded. Figure 14: AS3814 Section 5.7.7.1 To ensure the requirements of Clause 5.7.7.1 are met samples of the heated discharge air shall be taken from the discharge duct work, before the first discharge outlet, far enough downstream to ensure that combustion products are uniformly mixed with the heated air.
