Thats what I was looking for. All the other videos did not explain the temperature settings clearly. I could not figure out why the heater would not start although I had made all the settings. ahhhh.....I have to press the square button at the end in order to activate this mode! sometimes the small things....
Good explanation. I'm currently fitting a Flow 5D into my latest camper build. Previous build had a Webasto thermotop, so hoping the Autoterm is as good or better. Mike, ex Puriri St, right?! What's with the (sort of) aussie accent?! ;)
Hi Mike, good video thanks. Could you advise why my PU27 screen doesn't light up but the arrows do ? I've no idea what settings to select because of a dark screen- shooting blind .....
if I heard you right you said the trigger point set was the temp. you wanted the heater to start at. Isn't the trigger set point where the heater will stop at?
I do not have a heater yet and am looking at a Planar or Eberspacher D2L. I like the Eberspacher Easystart Pro controller, but have heard a new Planar one is coming out. Do you know anything about that?
Hi, I'm struggling to find the right information for my controller, maybe you could help us. Last night we set the T by panel at 7C (it was -4C outside), with power setting at 7. It seems the planar worked all night and this morning we woke up and it was 15C inside the van. How is this thing supposed to work? I thought when it reached 7C the unit would shut off. Am I missing something? Thank you very much!
Did you solve this problem? I have the same issue with PU-27. I set it to 20 Celsius for example, and it works constantly, today it was 40 inside my van. I have no idea why.
@@madhatter4247 Yes I think I did. I have contacted the company and searched every manuals I could find on the internet and nowhere I could find this very simple information: For the thermostat feature to work (stop a desired temperature), you need to have the option "Ventilation" ticked on. The way the unit works is that the fan will continue but the heater will stop at desired Temp. Once the sensor reads 5C below the set Temp, the heater will kick back on. The result is the fan runs continuously when the unit is on. I don't know why they made it that way, mostly I don't know why they don't tell you that information anywhere! Let me know if that works for you, or if it was just a coincidence for me. Cheers
@@renaud7101 You are the second source suggesting that solution, so I think it is not a matter of coincidence that it worked for you. I will check it tomorrow and will let you know.
@@renaud7101 Well, it works for me either. However, I think that the panel temperature sensor is not very accurate. I set it for 21 and it was definitely colder that that inside. Moreover, the ventilation working in stand by mode was causing some kind of low pitch vibrations which I did not like :D. For me the power value setting seems most reasonable.
@@madhatter4247 Thanks for the update. Did you notice that you could read (and set) the temperature at the panel or the heating unit? That might be why you get weird readings. Also, you could buy another probe and put it wherever suits you best. For us, we didn't need one and the temperature at the panel seems to be working well. But I'm with you, I don't know why they programmed it with the fan always on... cheers!
I think this controller sucks. Very little ability to set things up the way most programable thermostats work. The manual is very poorly written and does a very poor job explaining how it works.
That is the same as the T set point, but for when you have the heating set to “By power”. If you have it set to “By T panel” as shown in the video, the power setting is ignored/not used.
Really good good idea to run it hot at least once a week for 20 minutes burns the diesel soot away . Hearing some horror stories about the cheap diesel ones
Thanks Mike ❤
Brilliant, thanks so much. That's exactly what I wanted to know

Thanks for the info
do you have videos for the other setting, i have just had this heater fitter, i dont understand the manual

Hi. Can I set the ventillation speed during heating mode or its only automatic?

Can anyone explain the power value setting ?
What is the power value what should it be set to ? I see you had it to 5
That is the same as the T set point, but for when you have the heating set to “By power”. If you have it set to “By T panel” as shown in the video, the power setting is ignored/not used.

The company that put ours into the car said 30 minutes once per month on max heat should be enough.
