Best tutorial video I have seen. I was scratching my head when trying to figure manual out. Thank you very much
Thank you very much for your easy to follow video on how to operate the control unit on the diesel heater . It's certainly made things a lot easier now
You are the best,who clearly showed how to pair remote. Thank yoy
Thanks mate. I've just fitted this unit in my camper and im very happy with it. I find power 1 is great for me. Not to noisey and plenty of heat. Thanks for the controller tips.
Yeah in a small area setting 1 is fine.
I'm going to be putting on into my horsebox camp in the next month or so!
mate thanks for this i have one and first run tonight i was wondering how you set the time and timer, now you have explained i have subscribed to all as a thanks
Thank you for this very informative demonstration. It's the best video I have been able to find.
Thanks Buddy. Really helpful video. 👍🏽
thanks...i had no idea how to pair the remote....you sorted that
Very helpful, as you say not many clear instructions for the spanner type of controller. Your site description sounds very familiar. Off now to almost finish another project. 😊
Thanks for video absolutely priceless particularly the temp settings thought my was faulty gone to the power mode as you suggested much better ticking over nice I've bought a nice 300 what power supply from Amazon works fine as we are docked in a field with mains hook up many thanks for the video 👍
It's theamps that need to be high enough for the start up. Should be the same as the onei used.
Is there a video showing how to adjust the fuel air ratio on this type of controller please?
massive help thank you
Hi,nice video,i just buy an all in one vertical model with the same function display(new model) i didnt find how to set up to start at 3 am and stop at 9 pm for my garage to find nice temperature when i start to work at 8 am. Thanks a lot
very helpful thanks for the vid.
Your welcome 🙏
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
Fantastic video as I have this one so useful 👍
Question
When you turn it off and the control panel goes off not lite up is it still using power from the battery
👍👍😜cheers
Awesome thank you 👍👍
You're welcome. Thanks
Can you change from from Celsius to Fahrenheit on this controller?
This is mint, thanks 🙏 do you use power setting or temp?
I always use the power settings. I start using it on the high 8-10 setting and then lower it to 2-3 when it's hot enough
thanks, is there a way to adjust the rpm and fuel like on the older controllers with the settings picture not the spanner on the top left? thanks
I have a diesel heater that will not light. I've taken it apart three times it's been cleaned and was not dirty. The are hole next to the glow plug is also clean. Also installed new gaskets a new glow plug. Every time I try to start it it just smokes. I did notice when it starts now the fuel pump runs five times
hi , great vid , just wondering have u ever heard of the controller settings access fail , ? i cannot get into the settings to adjust fuel/hrz rpm etc , maybe this is a cheap generic controller (comes with heater) that hasn't got that feature > thanks ( mine has a cog symbol not wrench) cheers
just started mine thanks to this video. my engine temp goes past 200 c. is this normal? thank you
Do you know, is possible to use heater only as fan? In summer, for air circulation and cooling. Thank you.
Is there any way to turn off the fan once the engine is in idle mode??
Very useful, this video ACTUALLY works for this controller - have you worked out how to get into advanced functions yet?
I have, the steps ate the same as the older controllers, but they don't seem to actually do anything helpful!!
@@grantsyard excellent - cant you tell me the steps please?
@@damenfeld yes. But I will need to fire up the heater to go through it again. I'm not at the yard til Sunday. I am happy to do it then and let you know
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.
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.
Now I'm set up I use the remote in the same way to be fair
I've tried with button operation and with the remote, but it doesn't stop heating! Right now it's 17 degrees in here, heater is set to 13 and it just keeps heating... Any idea if I could be doing something wrong?
@@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 RUclips Search for it). I have one and it works a treat. It turns the heater off and on at the required temp.
Great video hard to find content for the Triclicks. I have just installed one and after stripping down to clean after I flooded it is stuck with an E-06 error on start up. I have tried everything with the fan but no luck. Have you had this at all and if so any tips please? Thanks
Check that your fuel pump is the right way round and that your exhaust is draining
E06 error code is low voltage on my unit. There are different controllers fitted to the same heaters.
I have diesel heater what is this all about do i have do this to my heater ?
i use temp mode, works ok has a 2 c band that needs to drop below before it turns the heater . good for controlling carbon build up.
Thanks for the tip!
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!
My controller is completely different as well , sent off for a replacement and that one is not the same either
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
It looks like these controlled only do the number or temp (the temp bit is useless too).
They are great bits of kit but the controls let them down from being much higher end
thx thx !!!
How do you get in to the serice menu on one of these to adjust the hz and fan speeds for hi and low? I have the one with the cog. Tried the usual press top left button 3 times to enter password but just primes the pump!. Stumped me so far...
I dont know how that one works but will try and buy one to figure out
Is there a way to get the settings that are in there to start all over and get it set up right? Please help, thank you
disconnect the battery for a min or two
How do switch between temperature and frequency? I've got an external controller and apparently I need to do this.
I tried this but couldn't get it to work 😪
Do you by chance know how to adjust this controller for different altitudes?
I am sorry I don't. I would say that the accuracy of the temperature gauge etc is not reliable anyway and more like a scale that could be learned.
Mine is showing E-10 can you help
Hey mate,
Got one of these recently. Unit does not turn on at all and controller keeps flashing.
I'd send it back mate
How to change voltage from 12 to 24 volt
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?
buy a small 12v trickle charger, I use a little AA one I bought, works well
I need to switch it back from temp to power settings
Has anyone noticed,with this thermostat, that the fan that runs after the unit is off, to cool the unit down and it's electronics stops running at 63 c. That tells me the electronics are not going to last .
Please let me know with your response
Thanks JC
Mine was hammed for winter and is still going strong 💪
Just installed my heater and it does not power up tried everything could think of and no luck I bought a new set of motherboard control panel and remote fitted it all up and still no life in it any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks Tom
What power source are you using? 🤔 It needs a very full 12v battery or even better, a ac to dc pack with high enough amps
Also mine has a in line fuse if you have no power check that if you have one
How do you get this type into alpine mode?
I'm not sure. Anyone else.figured it out?
I can't do half of this with my unit. I press the spanner (settings button) it beeps but nothing happens. 🤦🏻♂️
Have you it before you switch the heater on?
Is your controller the spanner type or cog type as they have a different functionality.
@@grantsyard Its the cog type. Apparently you can't set the time nor does it have a timer. 🤦🏻♂️
Hi . could you tell what ac transformer you use please .
I'll have to check but it was ordered from amazon a couple years ago when I needed to power a water pump to protect against flooding. It is an ac to dc with a 5amp output to handle the higher current during the initial glow plug draw
That’s the power supply I used. Works a treat
trouble is using an a to dc conv is if powercut then heater cuts out with out cool down phase it'll end up damaging electrics. I've used small 12v battery with a small AA trickle charger for yrs no problem.
When I turn the power on for my heater. I get nothing to set the clock just shows p12 which is voltage. If I press settings (top left and ok nothing happens. Which also means I can’t set the timer. Confusing to say the least.
Same as mine , no clock setting
@@cliffhawkins2285 think it’s the model. Which means you have to manually turn it on and off. If you leave it on it does reduce the fan speed to control the heat but I don’t know what the temp is set at. They are a bit of a pain to be honest.
Mine won't start, flashes E-01 ,any ideas ? Thanks
Seems to be high voltage error
My heater will running for 4, 5 minutes then gos off again, get the clear flash up so no faults, it’s been doing this for awhile now for no apparent reason any suggestions?
Mine has started doing the exact same thing, 5 minutes it runs for then clear comes on and turns off. I can't find an answer anywhere on how to fix this.
@@donbrowse7980 mines ran no problem for 3 hrs last night before I switched it off for the night. But haven’t changed anything from it running as mentioned before. Strange hopefully someone else can shed some light as why it does this?
@@Diyman43 about 45 minutes ago I primed mine again for 20 seconds, white smoke was pouring out of it for a good few minutes before it cleared and now it's running perfect again and not turned its self off, try priming yours again.
@@donbrowse7980 shall try that the next time it cuts out
@@donbrowse7980 same issue back tried what you mentioned on priming the pump for 20sec back still cuts out after 5mins or so
Your set target temperature is for when you set your timers
That makes sense. Thanks 😊
Fantastic, the manual is pants, it's for a completely different controller 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣
Ahh I see this is typical half-baked Chinese technology with a clock that does nothing, and timers that don't use the clock. I was hoping I could set it to come on at night and go off in the morning instead of doing it manually. I'm guessing the thermostat doesn't make it turn on either?
thanks for your instructions, those chinese instructions are so bad 😱🤣
How do you turn on and off the alpine mode?
