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

Thanks for the tip, I was having a hard time with the manual. I really appreciate you taking the time to make the video.

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! 🇨🇦

Dude, THANKS for the video! I’ve been searching hours now for the how to change the thermostat up and down! Thank you!!

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.

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.

Thanks for this. I just installed my second heater in my shed and unlike the first, was in the pump frequency by default. Sorted now!

What's the best hertz settings for diesel? And can you get it to come on when the temperature drops below a temp like 5dec c and stop when I gets to say 15deg c?

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

Thanks, I couldn’t make sense of the manual, “now fire away” ?

I am struggling to even set the clock 😲 when I press the settings button , it doesn't flash to change clock numbers

Brilliant! Thanks for that. Any ideas on how to increase the luminosity of the screen?

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

Do you know, is possible to use heater only as fan? In summer, for air circulation and cooling. Thank you.

The Campervan Builder once the heater reach 18° as perset and it goes in the tikcler mode, it will be silent or what?

My controller is different but it functioned the same and I couldn't figure out how to switch back to manual mode. Thanks

Any idea on amount of fuel used at high setting? Hours per tank and size of tank? Wanting one for our conversion van but would like to see if i will need a larger tank or not and how economical these are to run. Thanks!

These are very efficient, I’ve ran mine for probably over 10 hours so far and used maybe 3l at most

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. KZread tutorials are generally unhelpful because I feel like my unit must be different or defective even though it looks exactly the same in design.

Hi mate, do you know if that diesel heater can be used just to circulate fresh air ? Not blowing hot air ? Cheers.

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.

Is the thermostat set in the control panel or in the heater itself? I want to install the heater in a under bed unit but that area will be a different temperature to where the control panel is located.

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.

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.

TYPICALLY mine doesn't behave the same as yours! Two top buttons pressed together activates 'Timer' mode. Anyway, messed around with other configurations and accidentally managed to find and adjust temp. down from the smelting furnace I was trying to fight last night. Many thanks!

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)

Thanks for the clear instructions it would have been useful to have a fuel gauge but heyho you can't moan at the price

If actual temp is higher than target will continue to run at lowest output, I don't think it will turn off completely.
