Danger!Risk of burning and injuries!• The hoses of the heater air system and the hot air
outlet are to be routed and fastened in such a waythat they pose no temperature risk to people,animals or materials sensitive to temperature fromradiation / contact or blowing directly. If necessary,a cover is to be fitted to the heater air system orhot air outlet.
• The outflow hood must be fitted on the hot airoutflow side.
• A safety grid must be fitted to the heater air intakeside and outflow side if no air hoses are mounted,to prevent any injuries from the heater air fan orburns from the heat exchanger.
• High temperatures occur in the heater air systemduring and after the heater has been working.This is why it is important to avoid working in thevicinity of the heater air system while the heater isworking. In such cases, switch the heater offbeforehand and wait until all parts have cooleddown completely.If necessary, wear safety gloves.
Caution!• The heater air intake openings must be arranged in
such a way that under normal circumstances, it isnot possible for exhaust from the vehicle engine andheater to be sucked into the system, or for theheating air to be contaminated with dust, salt spray,etc.
• For circulating air, position the circulating air intakein such a way that the outflowing hot air cannot bedirectly sucked in again.
• In the event of possible overheating, it is possiblefor local lot air temperatures of up to max. 150 °Cor surface temperatures of up to max. 90 °C tooccur immediately before the defect shutdown.Therefore only temperature-resistant hot air hosesapproved by us must be used for the heater airsystem!
• When checking the functions, the mean outflowtemperature measured after the heater has beenrunning about 10 minutes at approx. 30 cm from theoutlet should not exceed 110 °C (at an intaketemperature of approx. 20 °C).

Operation and function4
Operating instructions
The heater is operated by a control element.Detailed operating instructions are enclosed with thecontrol unit.
The workshop / garage installing the heater will issueyou with the operating instructions.
Important instructions for operation
Safety checks before the startAfter a lengthy period of non-use (summer months)check that all parts fit securely (tighten screws wherenecessary).Check the fuel system visually for any leaks.
Heating at high altitudesWhen using the heater at high altitudes, please note:
• Heating at altitudes up to 1500 m:– Unlimited heating possible.
• Heating at altitudes over 1500 m – 3000 m:– Heating is possible for short periods at this altitude
(e.g. driving over a mountain pass or taking abreak in a journey).
– During longer stays, e.g. winter camping, the fuelsupply must be adjusted to the altitude. This canbe done by installing an air pressure sensor. Theair pressure sensor is included in the Altitude kit -Order No. 22 1000 33 22 00.
Heaters suitable for high altitudes are labelled with“H-Kit” on the side nameplate.
Initial commissioning

Description of functions
Switching on
When the heater is switched on, the control lamp inthe control element lights up.The glow plug is switched on and the fan starts atlow speed.
If there is still too much residual heat in the heatexchanger from when the heater was last used, firstlyonly the fan starts up (cold blowing).Once the residual heat has been cleared, the heaterstarts.
Starting Airtronic
After approx. 65 seconds the fuel supply starts andthe fuel / air mixture in the combustion chamberignites.Once the combined sensor (flame sensor) hasdetected the flame, the glow plug is switched off after60 seconds. The heater is now in standard operation.
Starting Airtronic M
After approx. 60 seconds the fuel supply starts andthe fuel / air mixture in the combustion chamberignites.After the flame sensor has detected the flame, theglow plug is switched off after approx. 90 sec. Theheater is now in standard operation.After another 120 seconds, the heater has reachedthe “POWER” stage (maximum fuel quantity, maximumfan speed).
Temperature selection with the control element
The control can be used to preselect an interiortemperature.The resulting temperature can be within the range of+10 °C to +30 °C and depends on the selectedheater, on the size of the space to be heated and onthe prevailing outdoor temperature.The setting to be selected at the control is anempirical value.
Operation and function4
Please note!
Control in the heating mode
During the heating mode, the room temperature or thetemperature of the sucked in heating air is constantlymeasured.If the temperature is higher than the temperatureselected on the control element, the heater starts toregulate its output. There are 4 control stages so thatthe outflow of heat produced by the heater can beadjusted finely to the heating requirements. Fan speedand fuel quantity correspond to the particular controlstage.If the set temperature is still exceeded in the smallestcontrol stage, the heater goes to the “OFF” stage withthe fan running on for approx. 4 minutes to cool off.Then the fan continues at minimum speed (circulationmode) or is switched off (fresh air mode) until theheater is started again.
Ventilating mode
In the ventilating mode, first the changeover switch“heating / venting” has to be activated and then theheater is switched on.
Switching off
When the heater is switched off, the control lampgoes off and the fuel supply is switched off.The fan runs on for approx. 4 minutes to cool down.While the fan is running on, the glow plug is switchedon for approx. 40 seconds to clean.Special case:If no fuel has been supplied or if the heater is in the“OFF” stage until it is switched off, the heater isstopped without any after running.
31
Do not switch the heater off and on again morethan twice.
Forced shutdown in ADR / ADR99 mode(only for diesel heaters)
In vehicles for the transport of dangerous goods(e.g. tanker trucks), the heater must be switched offbefore the truck drives into a danger area (refinery,fuel service station, etc.).Failure to comply results in the heater switching offautomatically when:• The vehicle engine is switched off.• An additional unit is started up (e.g. auxiliary drive
for unloading pump etc.).• A vehicle door is opened (ADR99 regulation,
only in France).The fan then runs on for max. 40 seconds.
Control and safety devices
• If the heater does not ignite within 90 seconds afterstarting the fuel pump, the start is repeated. If theheater still does not ignite after another 90 secondsof pumping fuel, the heater is switched off, i.e. thefuel supply is off and the fan runs on for approx.4 minutes.
• If the flame goes off by itself during operation, theheater is restarted. If the heater does not ignitewithin 90 seconds after the fuel pump has started,or ignites and goes off again within 15 minutes, theheater is switched off, i.e. the fuel supply is off andthe fan runs on for approx. 4 minutes.This status can be remedied by briefly switching offand on again.Do not repeat the switching off/on routine morethan twice.
• In the case of overheating, the combined sensor(flame sensor / overheating sensor) triggers, thefuel supply is interrupted and the heater switchedoff. Once the cause of the overheating has beeneliminated, the heater can be re-started byswitching off and on again.
• If the lower or upper voltage limit is reached, theheater is switched off after 20 seconds.
• The heater does not start up when the glow plug isdefect or when the electric lead to the dosing pumpis interrupted.
• If the combined sensor (flame sensor / overheatingsensor) is defect or the electric lead interrupted, theheater starts up and is then switched off againduring the start phase.
• The speed of the fan motor is monitoredcontinuously. If the fan motor does not start up or ifthe speed deviates by more than 10%, the heater isswitched off after 30 sec.
• When the heater is switched off, the glow plug isswitched on for 40 seconds (after-glowing) while thefan runs on to clean off any combustion residues.

Heater wiring
Caution!Safety instructions for wiring the heater!The heater is to be connected up electricallyaccording to the EMC directives.EMC can be affected if the heater is not connectedup correctly. For this reason, comply with the followinginstructions:
• Ensure that the insulation of electrical cables is notdamaged. Avoid: chafing, kinking, jamming orexposure to heat.
• In waterproof connectors, seal any connectorchambers not in use with filler plugs to ensure theyare dirt-proof and water-proof.
• Electrical connections and ground connections mustbe free of corrosion and firmly connected.
• Lubricate connections and ground connectionsoutside the heater interior with contact grease.
Comply with the following when wiring the heater and thecontrol element:• Electrical leads, switchgear and controllers must be
arranged in the vehicle so that they can functionperfectly under normal operating conditions(e.g.heat exposure, moisture etc.).
• The following cable cross sections are to be usedbetween the battery and heater. This ensures thatthe max. tolerable voltage loss in the cables doesnot exceed 0.5 V for 12 V or 1 V for 24 V ratedvoltage.Cable cross sections for a cable length of:– up to 5 m (plus cable + minus cable) = cable cross section 4 mm²– from 5 to 8 m (plus cable + minus cable) = cable cross section 6 mm²
• If the plus cable is to be connected to the fuse box(e.g. terminal 30), the vehicle cable from the batteryto the fuse box must be included in rating the overallcable length and possibly re-dimensioned ifnecessary.
• Insulate unused cable ends.
