Very helpful video, so firstly thank you. I think my timer must be set, but didn't set it. I have only just installed the unit it's like yours in the video but I've had it for nearly 3 years. I never set the timer but I walked out to the van this morning and it was going but it wasn't warm, how do I turn it off the timer please mate, and why would it not be hot, does it need to be primed before start every time? Thank you

Any idea how to change the heat setting to Hz? I have 2 heaters, 1 has the 1-10 and 1 has 1.4hz to 5. Something. The one showing Hz runs at a lower pump speed at its lowest setting than the one with 1-10 so it uses for fuel. Bit anoying

Hi I was looking forward to using my heater for the first time after watching you video on how to use the controller. First snag I found is there isn't a spanner symbol and it isn't in the settings either. My controller seems to be different to the one on your video also the heater instruction book is next to useless, can you help please?

So yes the instructions are useless. There are different controllers with slightly different use. Some functions work the same and some don't. Most youtube controller videos are for the cog type which is different to this one!

@markdoesstuff2023 7 ай бұрын

I set the temp very easily using the remote. It is but a simple press of a button. Once it reaches the desired temp it powers down to idle. If the temp drops a degree centigrade, or thereabouts, it cranks up to high again. This seems ideal to me.

@markdoesstuff2023 3 ай бұрын

@@thomasdt1991 Unless your heater is the type to turn off at a certain temperature it will continue heating. You can set the temperature to reach before the heater powers down to idle, but it will still keep on running. You will need another gadget to turn it off altogether, such as the Bureck CD Thermostat (Google or KZfaq Search for it). I have one and it works a treat. It turns the heater off and on at the required temp.

Hi everyone - mainly Grantsyard and Van Life UK - thanks to them to explain "advance " programming after entering password code "1234". P & t is manual heat control or thermostat control, 1 & 2 is selection between 12V or 24V, H & L is 5000W or 2000W, last number is 1 - 16ml, 2 - 22ml, 8 - 28ml dosing pump. Today I tested my 5KW heater with this "spanner" setting button controller model - all perfect, on P-01 heater 175*C, exhaust 220*C, only two LEDs, on P-05 heater 190*C, exhaust 340*C, four LEDs, on P-10 heater 206*C, exhaust 490*C, six LEDs. A lot of heat out of exhaust - my intention is to make muffler combine with heat exchanger to heat water for additional small hydronic heater and shower in my mobile home as next stage. I hope that software is and will controlling fan speed & fuel dosing to good combustion without "manual" programming fan & fuel ratio as on older controllers. Personally - I'll prefer option for "manual" for case need to do it - going to top on mountains - do not know yet how this controller will behaviour. Good luck everyone, Vas.

My father in law has this system hooked up to a car battery. When he powers on a gasoline generator to charge the battery while the diesel generator is on, the diesel generator throws the E-01 and E-02 error codes and will not reset until disconnected from the gasoline generator. Have you experienced this issue or know of a way to get it to work while the battery is connected to the gasoline generator?
