How To Set Chinese Diesel Heater Temperature Controller Settings

Рет қаралды 122,894

4 жыл бұрын

This quick video shows how to change the settings on a Chinese diesel heater controller to display the desired temperature for the controller thermostat. Out of the box, the Chinese diesel heater temperature for the thermostat is not displayed on the controller temperature settings and instead displays the pump frequency. Cycling through the heater controller settings does not bring up the diesel heater temperature thermostat settings so a button sequence is required to change the controller settings to display the temperature. Once the sequence is pushed, the Chinese diesel heater controller will display the thermostat setting instead of the pump frequency setting. The same sequence changes between the 2 settings so either can be changed with ease. If you find the video useful, please give it a Like and Subscribe if you're new to the channel, thanks.

Nothing beats this thing for the price. I love it. I'm so glad I installed one.

Thank you. You saved my day. Tried this nonsensical manual in English and German for hours - why can they not have a native speaker check their manuals. Thanks again.

Great tutorial. Thank you. I was wondering if the unit had an actual thermostat-controlled setting. That's what i was missing was to hit the OK button after selecting the desired temperature. Cheers! 🇨🇦

Thank you sir. We're currently away for a family weekend, chilly night, realised something must have pressed against the control panel and placed it in the hertz mode. Cheers.

@charactercapers 3 жыл бұрын

Spot on, I'd set the temperature but the heater would exceed it, I wasn't pressing ok after I set the temperature so I'll try that tomorrow and hopefully it'll work. Thank you 👍

ok I THINK I figured it out from YOUR video.. So when i first used the van I set it to 18 - or so i thought - but I was boiling in the middle of the night so I lowered it as low as it could go and set it at 8 degrees C but it kept going and in the middle of the night i woke up and the thermostat was still at 22 degrees and i was boiling. SO I think what you are saying is i have to put it into thermostat "mode" by pressing those two top buttons at the same time and bring it into thermostat "mode" out of the other mode... then it should go to my set temperature.... ok I will try this tonight - wish me luck :) thanks

@ihaveriffs8261 3 жыл бұрын

I’m still not convinced that my display’s default settings are the same as everyone else’s. The icons are slightly different and I have not been able to auto-prime my pump by pressing the OK and DOWN buttons together. Instead I manually engage the pump with both UP and DOWN simultaneously. When I connect to power, my display shows P 12v and a red icon in the bottom left corner that shows a circle ⭕️ with a “minus” symbol in the middle. KZfaq tutorials are generally unhelpful because I feel like my unit must be different or defective even though it looks exactly the same in design.

Any ideas what's wrong when I press the buttons to purge the heater the pump doesn't come. But if I press on it runs on screen the red heat lights up a little time after the pump lights up green on the screen but I can't hear the pump going under heater just blows cold air out. Does anyone think that the pump is broken heating rod is damage any ideas would be very thank you Graham

Would you know if there is a temperature sensor in the controller unit? Or does the controller use the temperature sensor in the heater air intake to control the operation of the unit? This would be relevant when the heater is installed outside and drawing fresh air. Quick and helpful video; thanks.

This doesn’t seem to be the same as mine. Hitting the settings and up buttons at the same time produces a round timer/clock - looking icon at the top. I also don’t get the temperature showing up as I flip thru the OK button’s options. I seem to get a 130° C, instead.

My heater does not stop when it gets to set temperature. For example: 1) Trailer is at 14C 2) I set temperature to 20C. Heater turns on and heats 3) Trailer reaches 20C. Heater goes to minimum setting but does NOT stop 4) Trailer temperature keeps rising to 25C+, very uncomfortable. How can we have the heater turn off or run fan alone when reach desired temperature?

thats how they run, they don't turn off, they just run at a reduced speed with the heating element off, but they don't turn off once a temp is reached

The heater will not turn off on it's own, it just goes to the lower flow of air when it reaches the set temp. For me it's kinda lame because we only go where it's kind of cold, so we have to manually turn the heater on and off as needed, using the remote. Kinda makes for a bit of a busy/ restless night lol. I'm trying to figure out how to wire in my own thermostat which will act as the on/off when it reaches a certain temperature.

it reduces its speed to a tick over until the temp drops and it kicks back in to full speed, these heaters don't fully turn off unless you turn them off (or they run out of fuel)
