1 Introduction
Statutory regulations
The Federal Road Transport Directorate has issued an EC type approval and an EMC type-approval for the heater for installation in motor vehicles and with the following official type-approval marks, noted on the heater name plate. Hydronic L-II EC- e1 00 0233 EMC- e1 03 5282 Fuel supply The fuel intake connection must not be located in the passenger compartment and must be sealed with a properly closing lid to prevent any fuel leaks. In heaters for liquid fuel where the heater fuel is separate from the vehicle fuel, the type of fuel and intake connection must be clearly identified. A warning sign is to be fixed to the intake connection indicating that the heater must be switched off before refuelling. Exhaust system The exhaust outlet must be arranged so as to prevent any penetration of exhaust fumes into the vehicle 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 passenger compartment. The air intake must be arranged or protected in such a way that it cannot be blocked by other objects. Operating status display A clearly visible operating display in the user's field of vision must indicate when the heater is switched on an off.

The Federal Railway Office has issued a type approval to Art 33 EBO for installation of the heater in rail vehicles; the vehicle has the following official type approval: Hydronic L-II EBA 32AZ3/0097/08

Statutory regulations! Directive 2001 / 56 / EC of the European Parliament and the Council Position of the heater Parts of the structure and other components near the heater must be protected from excessive heat exposure and possible fuel or oil contamination. The heater must not pose a fire hazard even when it overheats. This requirement is deemed to be fulfilled if adequate clearance is ensured for all parts during installation, sufficient ventilation is provided and fireproof materials or heat shields are used. The heater must not be mounted in the passenger compartment of vehicles in class M1, M2, M3 and N. But a heater in a hermetically sealed enclosure which otherwise complies with the conditions stated above may be used. The factory nameplate or duplicate of it must be affixed so that it can still be easily read when the heater is installed in the vehicle. All appropriate precautions must be taken when arranging the heater to minimise the risk of injuries to persons or damage to other property.

1 Introduction
Statutory regulations The laying of fuel lines and installation of additional fuel tanks must comply with Art 45 and 46 of the StVZO (German road vehicle licensing regulations). Extract from Art 45 and 46 StVZO: Fuel tanks in buses and coaches must not be located in the passenger compartment or driver's cab. They must be positioned in such a way that if a fire occurs the exits are not at immediate risk. Fuel lines in buses and coaches must not be located in the passenger compartment or driver's cab. The heater may not be installed in classes M1 and N1, as the end-of-life vehicles regulations (EC End-of-Life Vehicles Directive 2000/53/EC) is not complied with. Please note! Compliance with the statutory regulations and safety instructions is prerequisite for guarantee and liability claims. Failure to comply with the statutory regulations and safety instructions and incorrect repairs even when using original spare parts make the guarantee null and void and preclude any liability for J. Eberspcher GmbH & Co. KG. Subsequent installation of this heater must comply with these installation instructions. The statutory regulations are binding and must also be observed in countries which do not have any special regulations. When installing the heater in vehicles not subject to the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO), for example ships, the respective specially valid regulations and installation instructions must be observed. Installation of the heater in special vehicles must comply with the regulations applying to such vehicles. Other installation requirements are contained in the corresponding sections of this manual. Manufacturers recommendations for rail vehicles are specially marked in the following chapters.

1 Introduction
Safety instructions for installation and operation
Danger! Risk of injury, fire and poisoning! Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting any kind of work. Before working on the heater, switch the heater off and let all hot parts cool down. The heater must not be operated in closed rooms, e.g. in the garage or in a multi-storey car park. Important! Safety instructions for installation and operation! The heater must only be installed by a JE partner authorised by the manufacturer according to the instructions in this manual and possibly according to special installation recommendations; the same applies to any repairs to be carried out in the case of repairs or guarantee claims. Repairs by non-authorised third-parties or with not original spare parts are dangerous and therefore not allowed. They result in expiry of the type-approval of the heater; consequently, when installed in motor vehicles they can cause expiry of the vehicle operating licence. The following measures are not allowed: Changes to components relevant to the heater. Use of third-party components not approved by Eberspcher GmbH & Co.KG. Nonconformities in installation or operation from the statutory regulations, safety instructions or specifications relevant to safe operation as stated in the installation instructions and operating instructions. This applies in particular to the electrical wiring, fuel supply, combustion air system and exhaust system. Installation and repair may be carried out with original accessory parts and original spare parts only. Only control units approved by Eberspcher may be used to operate the heater. Use of other control units can cause 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 positive cable at the battery should be disconnected and placed at ground to protect the control box. The heater must not be operated where there is a risk of an accumulation of flammable vapours or dust, for example close to fuel depot coal depot wood depot grain depots etc. The heater must be switched off when refuelling. If the heater is fitted in a safety casing, etc., the heater's installation box must not be used as storage space 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 or transported on or next to the heater. Defect fuses must only be replaced by fuses with the prescribed rating. If fuel leaks from the heater fuel system, arrange for the damage to be repaired immediately by a JE service partner. When topping up the coolant, only use the coolant permitted by the vehicle manufacturer, see the vehicle operating manual. Any blending with unpermitted coolant can cause damage to the engine and heater. The after-running of the heater must not be prematurely interrupted e.g. by pressing the battery isolating switch, except for an emergency stop. Accident prevention General accident prevention regulations and the corresponding workshop and operating safety instructions are to be observed.

3 Installation
Installation location
The heater and the water pump are integrated in the cooling water circuit of the vehicle or in a separate water circuit. The heater should be installed as low as possible in the vehicle, e.g. in the engine compartment or in a stowage compartment. This guarantees automatic ventilation of the heater and the water pump. Other installation locations are possible if they comply with the installation requirements stated in these installation instructions. When choosing the mounting position, space must be left to dismantle the shroud (130 mm) and the header pipe (375 mm). Breakthroughs to the outside must be splashproof. Additional notes on the location in rail vehicles In rail vehicles the heater must be fixed in the engine compartment (e.g. locomotive) or under floor in the installation box on the vehicle body (e.g. railcar). Other locations require an acceptance inspection by J. Eberspcher GmbH & Co. KG.

7 Roof heater 8 Floor heater 9 Additional water pump

Please note! Comply with the statutory regulations and safety instructions regarding the contents of this chapter on page 4 7. Mount the heater under the minimum cooling water level (header tank, radiator, vehicle heat exchanger). If installing the heater in a separately installed water circuit the installation must always be subjected to an acceptance inspection by the heater manufacturer. If this installation acceptance does not take place any warranty or liability claims whatsoever expire. It is not permissible to fix the heater in rail vehicles with metal-rubber buffers. Installation requirements (e.g. for boats and ships) are available from the manufacturer on request.

3 Installation
Installing the heater in a box
If the heater cannot be installed in the engine compartment or in a stowage compartment of the vehicle, it can also be installed in a box. The box with the installed heater is then fixed to the vehicle at a suitable point e.g. longitudinal frame. The installation of a hood with hose connection is recommended for intake of combustion air. The combustion air is then sucked in from outside the box through a flexible hose. A safety grille is to be fitted to the flexible hose.

Box Heater Shroud with hose connection Flexible hose with safety grille Water pump Fuel lines Water hose Water inlet Water outlet

Please note! Comply with the statutory regulations and safety instructions regarding this chapter on page 4 7. The box must be adequately ventilated from the outside so that the permissible ambient temperature is not exceeded. Ventilation openings must be positioned in the box in such a way that they cannot be clogged up by dirt and snow. Any water which penetrates the box must be allowed to drain off.

3 Installation
Nameplate
The nameplate stuck onto the heater must be protected against damage and must be easy to read when the heater is installed. If this is not the case the installer can stick a duplicate nameplate onto the heater or in the area of the heater in a position in which it is easy to see and read. The duplicate nameplate is glued onto the shroud of the heater, and can be pulled off if necessary. Please note! Comply with the statutory regulations and safety instructions regarding this chapter on page 5 7. Heaters approved for installation in rail vehicles are identified by an EBA No. on the nameplate. 1 Original nameplate 2 Duplicate nameplate

3 Installation
Exhaust system (pipes)
Danger! Risk of injuries and burns! Every type of combustion produces high temperatures and toxic exhaust fumes. This is why the exhaust system must always be laid according to these installation instructions. Do not perform any work on the exhaust system while the heater is working. Before working on the exhaust system, switch off the heater first and wait until all the parts have completely cooled down, wear safety gloves if necessary. Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Important! Safety instructions for the exhaust system! The exhaust pipe must end in the open air. The exhaust pipe must not protrude beyond the lateral limits of the vehicle. Install the exhaust pipe sloping slightly downwards, if necessary drill a drain hole approx 5 mm at the lowest point as a condensation outlet. Important functional parts of the vehicle must not be impaired (keep sufficient clearance). Install the exhaust pipe with sufficient clearance from heat-sensitive components. Pay particular attention to fuel lines (made of plastic or metal), electrical cables and brake hoses, etc.! Exhaust pipes must be safely fixed (recommended clearance of 50 cm) to avoid damage from vibrations. Lay the exhaust system so that the outflowing exhaust gases are not sucked in as combustion air. The mouth of the exhaust pipe must not become clogged with dirt and snow. The mouth of the exhaust pipe must not point in the direction of travel. In rail vehicles it is important to ensure that the exhaust opening does not point in one of the possible directions of travel (90 to the direction of travel). Installing the exhaust system Push an exhaust pipe elbow or an exhaust pipe socket onto the heater's exhaust connection and fix to the floor of the vehicle. Order No. of the exhaust system parts, see page 8. A rigid or flexible exhaust pipe, inner 70 mm, can be fixed to the exhaust bend as an extension. The exhaust pipe can be up to a maximum of 4 m long, depending on the installation conditions. A rigid exhaust pipe made from unalloyed or alloyed steel or a flexible exhaust pipe made from alloyed steel, inner = 70 mm, is currently not available. If needed the exhaust pipe and the corresponding pipe clips must be purchased from a specialist store; the wall thickness of the rigid exhaust pipe must be at least 1 mm. After the exhaust system has been installed, make an end sleeve (see page 17) and push it onto the end of the exhaust pipe.

Please note! The exhaust system can be laid with max. 3 x 90 angles, the total length reduces by 0.5 m with each 90bend. Use pipe clips to fix the exhaust pipe to the vehicle floor at suitable places. Comply with the statutory regulations and safety instructions regarding this chapter on page 4 7.

Combustion air system
Important! Safety instructions for the combustion air system! The combustion air may not be drawn in from rooms in which there are people. The combustion air opening must be free at all times. Position the combustion air intake to be sure that exhaust fumes cannot be sucked in with the combustion air. Do not direct the combustion air intake against the vehicle's airstream. The combustion air intake must not become clogged with dirt and snow. Install the combustion air system sloping slightly downwards. If necessary, make a drain hole approx. 5 mm at the lowest point as a condensation outlet. If the heater is installed near the vehicle's tank in a joint installation space the combustion air must be drawn in from the outside and the exhaust must be discharged outside into the open air. The openings must be made splashproof. In rail vehicles it is important to ensure that the combustion air opening does not point in one of the possible directions of travel (90 to the direction of travel). Please note! Comply with the statutory regulations and safety instructions regarding this chapter on page 4 7. Combustion air intake The combustion air is routed to the burner in the heater via the hood. No installation work is necessary. If the heater is installed in a box or the installation conditions are very confined and/or the temperature is unacceptably high, we recommend fitting a hood with hose connection for drawing in the combustion air. The combustion air is then sucked in through a flexible hose. This ensures that the combustion air is sucked in from an area in the right temperature range which is protected from dirt. A safety grille is to be fitted to the flexible hose. If a hood with hose connection is not used when the heater is installed in a box, the combustion air must be sucked in through a ventilation opening with an effective minimum cross section which corresponds to a pipe with 60 mm.

Please note! The ventilation opening for the combustion air must be positioned on the box so that it cannot become blocked by dirt and snow and exhaust gases cannot be sucked in.

Example for the combustion air system Combustion air intake through a gill plate. Combustion air intake with a flexible hose 60 mm, max 1 m long.

Connection to the cooling water circuit
The heater is integrated in the vehicle's cooling water circuit. An alternative installation option is to install the heater with its own cooling water circuit with a header tank. Danger! Risk of injuries and burns! The cooling water and components of the cooling water circuit can get very hot. Parts conveying water must be routed and fastened in such a way that they pose no temperature risk to man, animals or material sensitive to temperature from radiation / direct contact. Before working on the cooling water circuit, switch the heater off and wait until all the components have cooled down completely, if necessary wear safety gloves. Please note! When installing the heater, please note the direction of flow of the cooling water circuit. The water hoses included in the Eberspcher scope of supply must be used. If not, the hoses used must at least conform to DIN 73411. Fill the heater and water hoses with cooling water before connecting to the cooling water circuit. Route the water hoses without any kinks, and in a rising position if possible. When routing the water pipes, observe a sufficient clearance to hot vehicle parts. Protect all water hoses / water pipes from chafing and from extreme temperatures. Secure all hose connections with hose clips. After the vehicle has been operating for 2 hours or travelled 100 km, tighten the hose clips again. The minimum water flow rate is only guaranteed if the temperature difference of the heating medium does not exceed 10 K between water inlet and water outlet during heating. Only overpressure valves with an opening pressure of min. 0.4 max. 2 bar may be used in the cooling water circuit. As corrosion protection the cooling water must contain at least 10 % antifreeze the whole year round. During cold periods the coolant water must contain sufficient coolant (antifreeze). Before commissioning the heater for the first time or after changing the cooling water, the whole cooling water circuit including the heater must be vented without bubbles according to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Correct ventilation is identifiable by a water pump which operates virtually noise-free. Poor ventilation can result in overheating of the resettable thermal cutout in heating mode. Only top up with coolant approved by the vehicle manufacturer. Insert the water pump preferably in the water inlet line to the heater.

The fuel is taken from the vehicle's fuel tank or a separate fuel tank. The following safety instructions must always be observed when laying the fuel lines and installing a fuel tank. Deviations from the instructions stated here are not allowed. Failure to comply can result in malfunctions. Danger! Risk of fire, explosion, poisoning and injuries! Caution when handling fuel. Switch off the vehicle engine and the heater before refuelling and before working on the fuel supply. Avoid naked flames when handling fuel. Do not smoke Do not inhale petrol fumes. Avoid any contact with the skin. Never lay or fix the fuel pipes immediately next to the heater's exhaust system pipes or along the vehicle's exhaust system. If the systems cross, always ensure there is sufficient heat clearance. If necessary, install heat deflection plates. Dripping or evaporating fuel must never be allowed to collect on hot parts or ignite on electric equipment. When connecting fuel pipes with a fuel hose, always mount the fuel pipes in a butt joint to prevent any bubbles from forming. Safety instructions for fuel pipes and fuel tanks in buses and coaches In buses and coaches, fuel pipes and fuel tanks must not be routed through the passenger compartment or driver's cab. Fuel tanks in buses and coaches must be positioned in such a way that the exits are not in immediate danger if a fire occurs. Please note! Comply with the statutory regulations and safety instructions regarding this chapter on page 4 7.

Important! Safety instructions for laying the fuel pipes! Use a sharp knife only to trim the fuel hoses and pipes. Interfaces must not be crushed and must be free of burrs. The intake and return line must be filled with fuel when putting into service. The heater only works with vented pipes and lines (filter). Fuel pipes must be securely fixed to avoid any damage and / or noise due to vibrations (recommended guideline value: at spacings of approx. 50 cm). Fuel pipes must be protected against mechanical damage. Lay the fuel pipes so that any distortion or shaking of the vehicle, engine movements, etc. do not have a disadvantageous effect on the service life. Parts carrying fuel must be protected from disruptive heat.

3 Installation
Fuel supply
Fuel quality The heater runs problem-free on standard commercial grade diesel fuel according to DIN EN 590. During the winter months the diesel fuel is adapted to the low temperatures of 0 C to 20 C. Problems can therefore only arise at extremely low outdoor temperatures as is the case with the vehicle engine please refer to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. In special cases and at outdoor temperatures above 0 C the heater can also be run on EL heating oil according to DIN51603. If the heater is run from a separate tank, please comply with the following rules: at outdoor temperatures over 0 C: Use diesel fuel according to DIN EN 590. at outdoor temperatures of 0 C to 20 C: use winter diesel fuel according to DIN 590. at outdoor temperatures 20 C to 40 C: Use Arctic diesel or Polar diesel. Please note! Additions of used oil are not allowed! After refuelling with winter or cold weather diesel the fuel lines must be filled with the new fuel by letting the heater run for 15 minutes! Operation with biodiesel (FAME) The heaters are not approved for operation with biodiesel fuel (FAME according to DIN EN 14 214).

Fuel supply
Connection of the intake and return pipe to the heater If fuel hoses are used, fuel hoses supplied by J. Eberspcher must be used. If not, the fuel hoses used must at least conform to DIN 73379-1, Type 3. The materials usually used in vehicle construction, e.g. steel and plastic lines made of soft set, light and temperature-stabilised PA 11 or PA 12 (e.g. Mecanyl RWTL) according to DIN 73378 can be used as fuel lines, in compliance with the respective connection techniques. Permissible dimensions of the fuel lines Inner diameter of the suction and return line: for connection to the ring hose nipple 6 mm: min 5 mm / max 6 mm, Special case for connection to the ring hose nipple 8 mm: min 7 mm / max 8 mm. Important! Installation for a shut-off device in the return line is not allowed! Please note! Fuel hoses and fuel pipes are available as additional parts, see additional parts catalogue. Fuel lines with inner diameter 7 mm / 8 mm as well as ring hose nipple with 8 mm must be purchased from the trade. Please consult the manufacturer for operation in single line systems. Please contact the manufacturer if an additional fuel pump is to be installed. Permissible suction height and lengths of the suction line: Suction height up to 1.5 m > max. length = 25 m Suction height 1.5 m to 4.0 m > max. length = 15m Permissible length of the return line: max. length = 18 m

Functional performance of the heater depending on the underpressure in the fuel system In order to ensure the fuel pump works properly, it is necessary to ensure that the underpressure in the fuel system is not too high (see table). Fuel pressure (P) Heater inlet min 0.3 bar 0.45 bar to 0.3 bar 0.55 bar to 0.45 bar < 0.55 bar Fuel pressure (P) Filter inlet min 0.2 bar 0.35 bar to 0.2 bar 0.45 bar to 0.35 bar < 0.45 bar

Preferred range * Allowable range ** Critical range *** Heating mode not possible

* Range for design of the fuel supply ** Over the operating period the counterpressure in the fuel supply can increase as a result of deposits (filter clogs up). *** Heater becomes susceptible to faults (gas bubble formation / fault code 52, 54) 28

4 Operation and function

Structure of the heater
The heater consists of a heat exchanger and a removable burner. The heat exchanger contains a combustion chamber consisting of a header pipe with integrated mixer. The header pipe can be pulled out of the heat exchanger if necessary. The control box and electric motor are fixed to the burner flange under the shroud of the burner. The fuel pump is integrated in the burner housing. The following additional parts are required to run the heater: Water pump already installed in compact version Additional parts for connection to the water circuit Additional parts for the fuel supply Additional parts for the exhaust system Control unit For order No. of the additional parts see page 8, for further additional parts see additional parts catalogue.

Important notes on operation

Perform safety checks before the start After a lengthy stoppage (summer months), check all components for secure fit (tighten screws where necessary). Carry out a visual check of the fuel system for leaks. Before switching on Before switching on or pre-programming heating mode, switch the vehicle's heating lever to "WARM" (maximum setting) and the blower to "slow level" (lower electricity consumption). In vehicles with automatic heating, before switching off the ignition, switch the heating lever to "MAX" and the required damper position to "OPEN". Heating at high altitudes When using the heater at high altitudes, please note: Heating at altitudes up to 1500 m: Unlimited heating possible. Heating at altitudes over 1500 m: You can use the heater at this altitude for short periods (e.g. driving through a mountain pass or taking a break in your journey). For longer stays it is necessary to adjust the level of the fuel supply, please contact a JE partner for further details and advice.

Operating instructions
The heater is operated by a control unit. Detailed operating instructions are supplied with the control unit. Please note! You will be issued the operating instructions by the installation workshop.

Initial commissioning of the heater

The following points are to be checked by the company installing the heater during initial commissioning. Ensure you read the operating and maintenance instructions before starting up the heater. After installation of the heater, the coolant circuit and the whole fuel supply system must be vented carefully. Comply with the instructions issued by the vehicle manufacturer. Open the coolant circuit before the trial run (set the temperature control to "WARM"). During the heater trial run, all water and fuel connections must be checked for leaks and secure, tight fit. If faults occur while the heater is running, use a diagnostic unit to determine and correct the cause of the fault.

29

4 Operation and function

Functional description
Switch on the heater When the heater is switched on a component test is performed (3 seconds), the water pump is then started up. Note: The nozzle pre-heater is switched on the first time the heater is switched on. In the Hydronic L16 / L24, the nozzle pre-heater remains switched on until the heater switches OFF or is switched off beforehand. In the Hydronic L30 / L35, the operating time of the nozzle pre-heater is limited to 15 min. Burner start The electric motor starts and drives the combustion air impeller and the fuel pump. After approx 10 seconds the ignition is switched on and then the fuel solenoid valve opens. Within these 10 seconds a rotary check is performed on the electric motor. The fuel and combustion air in the combustion chamber form an ignitable mixture. The mixture is ignited by a high-voltage ignition spark. The flame monitor recognises the flame's flicker frequency and switches off the ignition spark generator. The hot combustion gases flow through the heat exchanger and transfer the heat to the heat distribution medium. Please note! The heater operates depending on the heat requirements, this means the burner's switching on and switching off times vary. The water pump remains in service the whole time the heater is running, even during pause mode and during after-running. Options If temperature lowering is activated the "ON / OFF" control temperatures are lowered by approx 8K. Connection of the ON / OFF switch for temperature lowering, see circuit diagram on page 34. The water pump can be run independently of the heater if appropriate controls are installed. For connection of the additional "ON / OFF" switch for separate water pump control, see circuit diagram on page 34. With control of the vehicle's blower, the vehicle blower is switched on or off at the following water temperatures. Water temperature > 55 C >Vehicle blower "ON" Water temperature < 50 C >Vehicle blower "OFF" For control of the vehicle's blower, see circuit diagram on page 34.

Control and safety devices
Switch off the heater If the heater is switched off the fuel solenoid valve closes and after-running simultaneously starts for approx 3 minutes. After the after-running has finished the heater is automatically switched off. Please note! Until it is switched off, including during the after-running, the fuel is circulated. The heater is equipped with the following control and safety devices. If the heater does not ignite the control box* is locked after an unpermissible number of unsuccessful start attempts. If the water flow is too low the water discharge temperature is limited by premature compensation. The time taken for the temperature rise in the heat distribution medium is monitored. If it rises too fast (water flow too low) the heater automatically switches "OFF" and begins with the after-running, the cycle then begins again. Constant comparison of the temperature sensor and overheating sensor measured values provides additional heater safety, because if the difference between the measured values is too large (water flow too low) the heater is prematurely switched off (shut-down on fault). After an impermissible number of shut-downs on fault, the control box is locked.* If the lower or upper voltage limit is reached, the heater is automatically switched off. If the flame sensor detects a flame during the heater's after-running the heater is automatically switched off. After an impermissible number of shut-downs on fault, the control box is locked.* * The lock can be cancelled and faults read out: with the modular timer / EasyStart T timer with the radio remote control TP5 / EasyStart R+. For other control units by connecting: the diagnostics unit the EDiTH diagnostics tool. For operation and fault list, please refer to the enclosed operating instructions or the troubleshooting and repair instructions for the heater.

Emergency stop EMERGENCY OFF If an emergency stop EMERGENCY OFF is necessary during operation, proceed as follows: Switch the heater off at the control unit or pull the fuse out or disconnect the heater from the battery.

Danger! Danger high voltage Before opening the heater, disconnect the plug-in connector with the vehicle. Important! Safety instructions! The heater is to be connected up electrically according to the EMC directives. Improper tampering with the heater can affect the EMC. For this reason, comply with the following instructions: Ensure that the insulation of electrical cables is not damaged. Avoid: Chafing, kinking, jamming or exposure to heat. Seal any connection chambers of waterproof connectors not in use with filler plugs to ensure they are dirt-proof and waterproof. Electrical connectors and earth connections must be free of corrosion and securely connected. Lubricate connections and ground connections outside the heater interior with contact grease. Please note! Comply with the following when wiring the heater and the control unit: The negative and positive poles of the heater's controls are to be directly connected to the vehicle's battery. Contact the heater manufacturer regarding connectors differing from the standard version. Electrical leads, switch and control gear must be positioned in the vehicle so that they can function perfectly under normal operating conditions without impairment (e.g. due to heat exposure, moisture, etc.). The following cable cross-sections are to be used between the battery and heater. This ensures that the max. permissible voltage drop in the cables does not exceed 0.5 V for 12 V or 1 V for 24 V rated voltage. Cable cross-sections for a cable length (plus cable + minus cable) of: up to 5 m = cable cross-section 4 mm2 from 5 m to 8 m (plus cable + minus cable) = cable cross section 6 mm2 If the positive cable is to be connected to the fuse box (e.g. terminal 30), the vehicle's cable from the battery to the fuse box must also be included in the calculation for the total cable length and re-dimensioned if necessary. Insulate unused cable ends.
