RegulationsExtract from Directive 2001 / 56 / EC Annex VII ofthe European Parliament and of the Council

General regulations

• Operating state display– A clearly visible operating display in the user's

field of vision must indicate when the heater isswitched on and off.

Regulations concerning installation in the vehicle

• Scope– Subject to differing stipulations in the following

section, combustion heaters must be installedaccording to the provisions of Directive 2001 / 56/ EC Annex VII.

– It is assumed that Class O vehicles with heatersfor liquid fuel conform to the provisions of Directive2001 / 56 / EC.

• Arrangement of the heater– Parts of the structure and other components near

the heater must be protected from excessive heatexposure and possible fuel or oil contamination.

– The heater must not pose a fire hazard even whenit overheats. This requirement is deemed to befulfilled if adequate clearance is ensured for allparts during installation, sufficient ventilation isprovided and fireproof materials or heat shields areused.

– The heater must not be mounted in the passengercompartment of vehicles in class M2 and M3.However, a heater in a hermetically sealedenclosure which also complies with the aforemen-tioned conditions may be used.

– The factory nameplate or duplicate must be affixedso that it can still be easily read when the heateris installed in the vehicle.

– All appropriate precautions must be taken whenarranging the heater to minimise the risk ofinjuries to persons or damage to other property.

• Fuel supply– The fuel intake connection must not be located in

the passenger compartment and must be sealedwith a properly closing lid to prevent any fuelleaks.

– In heaters for liquid fuel where the heater fuel isseparate from the vehicle fuel, the type of fuel andintake connection must be clearly identified.

– A warning sign is to be fixed to the intakeconnection indicating that the heater must beswitched off before refuelling.

• Exhaust system– The exhaust outlet must be arranged so as to

prevent any penetration of exhaust fumes into thevehicle interior through the ventilation system,warm air intakes or open windows.

• Combustion air intake– The air for the heater's combustion chamber must

not be sucked in from the vehicle's passengercompartment.

– The air intake must be arranged or protected insuch a way that it cannot be blocked by otherobjects.

• Automatic control of the heating system– If the engine fails, the heating system must be

automatically switched off and the fuel supplystopped within 5 seconds. The heater may remainin operation if a manual device has already beenactivated.

The heater is not approved for installation in theinterior of Class M1 vehicles (vehicles for passengertransport / cars) and N vehicles (vehicles for the trans-port of goods).

• Repairs by non-authorised third-parties or with notoriginal spare parts are dangerous and therefore notallowed. They result in expiry of the type permit ofthe heater; consequently, when installed in motorvehicles they can cause expiry of the vehicleoperating licence.

• The following measures are not allowed:– Changes to components relevant to the heater.– Use of third-party components not approved by

J. Eberspächer GmbH & Co. KG.– Nonconformities in installation or operation from

the statutory regulations, safety instructions orspecifications relevant to safe operation as statedin the installation instructions and operatinginstructions. This applies in particular to theelectrical wiring, fuel supply, combustion airsystem and exhaust system.

• Only original accessories and original spare partsmust be used during installation or repairs.

• Only original accessories and spare parts may beused for installation or repairs.

• Only the controls approved by Eberspächer may beused to operate the heater.The use of other controls can result in malfunctions.

• Before the heater is installed again in another vehicle,rinse the heater parts carrying water with clear water.

• When carrying out electric welding on the vehicle,the plus pole cable at the battery should bedisconnected and placed at ground to protect thecontroller.

• Do not not not not not operate the heater anywhere where thereare readily flammable materials (e.g. dry grass,leaves, paper, etc.) in the area of the exhaustsystem or where ignitable fumes and dust can form,e.g. near a– fuel depot– coal depot– wood depot– grain depots etc.

• The heater must be switched off when refuelling.

• When the heater is mounted in a safety housingetc., the installation compartment of the heater isnot a stowage compartment and must be kept clear.In particular fuel canisters, oil cans, spray cans,gas cartridges, fire extinguishers, cleaning rags,items of clothing, paper etc. must not be stored ortransported on or next to the heater.

• Defect fuses must only be replaced by fuses withthe prescribed rating.

• If fuel leaks from the heater fuel system, arrangefor the damage to be repaired immediately by a JEservice partner.

• When topping up the coolant, only use the coolantpermitted by the vehicle manufacturer, see thevehicle operating manual. Any blending withunpermitted coolant can cause damage to theengine and heater.

• After-running of the heater must not be interruptedprematurely e.g. by pressing the battery disconnectingswitch, apart from in the case of an emergency stop.

Following installation, attach the “Switch off heaterbefore refuelling!” sticker near the tank filler neck.

Installation3

Permissible installation positions – heater

The heater should preferably be installed in the normalposition, horizontal with the exhaust connection downto the bottom.Depending on the installation conditions, the heatercan also be mounted in the permitted swivel range,see diagram.

When the heater is operating, the shown normal ormaximum installation positions can be varied brieflyby up to +15° in all directions. Such deviationscaused by the inclined position of the vehicle do notimpair the heater functions in any way.

Permissible installation positions – waterpump

The water pump can be installed in any position.

• The water inlet must be designed so that it is al-ways completely filled with water (the water pump isnot self-priming).

• Installing the water pump with the pump head fac-ing downwards is not good for automatic venting.

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.

Before switching onBefore switching on or pre-programming the heater,adjust the heating control in the vehicle to “WARM”(maximum setting) and the fan to “slow” (low powerconsumption).In vehicles with automatic heating, adjust the heatingcontrol to “MAX” and open the heating vents beforeswitching the ignition off.

Pre-venting with change-over “heating / venting”Pre-venting with change-over “heating / venting”Pre-venting with change-over “heating / venting”Pre-venting with change-over “heating / venting”Pre-venting with change-over “heating / venting”Pre-venting means the possibility of starting thevehicle fan directly from the heater preselection timeror, even more convenient, from the radio remotecontrol, thus bypassing the heating mode, so that thepassenger compartment, which frequently heats upconsiderably in summer weather, can be ventilatedbriefly with fresh air (separate wiring).

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

The following points are to be checked by thecompany installing the heater during initialcommissioning.

• After installation of the heater, the coolant circuitand the whole fuel supply system must be ventedcarefully. Comply with the instructions issued by thevehicle manufacturer.

• Open the coolant circuit before the trial run (se thetemperature control to “WARM”).

• During the trial run of the heater, check all water andfuel connections for leaks and firm fitting.

• If the heater shows a fault during operation, findand eliminate the cause of the fault using adiagnosis unit.

Description of functions

Switching on (pre-heating mode)When switched on, the operating display in the con-trol unit lights up. The water pump starts up.After a specific program sequence the combustion airfan, glow plug and metering pump start up and initia-te combustion. Once a stable flame has formed, theglow plug switches off under time control.

Heating modeDepending on heating requirements, the heater isadjusted in the following stages:LARGE – SMALL – OFF (Pause).The temperature limits are permanently programmed inthe electronic controller.If the heating requirements in the “SMALL” stage areso small that the cooling water temperature reaches85 °C, the heater goes into the pause mode.The heater continues to run on for approx.120 seconds, then it switches off (Pause mode).The control lamp lights up and the water pumpcontinues to run, even in the pause mode.

To compensate for the low heating requirementscoming from the vehicle engine, the heater can beoperated as pre-heater or combined pre-heater andextra heater, depending on the settings (wiring seecircuit diagram).
