Nice one! Just bought my third one of these. Price has gone through the roof now so grabbed a decent looking 3kw set-up just in case one of the others goes POP! There again, it states 3kw but fully expecting to get my fingers burnt - again!!
thanks for brilliant vid just bought one, the so called instruction manual from H calory is useless this video as really helped me out all the best keith.
Thanks for your videos they have been very helpful. My first diesel heater install, yesterday finished. Ran great! Was 17° this morning so i ran it for an hour on 1.7 hz, with exhaust fan running was 24° inside for an hour. Very impressive. Used the cheap tubing and mounted the fuel pump on to my frame with the rubber holder and can't hear it at all!
Great news that you have been able to install it yourself and not have to pay out for someone to do it. Did you get it programmed ok ? Don't for get to run it on max occasionally just to burn of some of the carbon build up and thank you for letting me know that it was helpful.
@@simplyboating4609 thanks again. Ran in this morning for an hour as it was cool and ran quiet and smooth. My question is how often during warmer months should one run the heater to prevent problems? Right now Hcalory is selling the 5-8kw heater for $90. so, i bought two of them. 👍 I think they are discontinuing this XMZ D2 Model.
@@frederick6008 Sometimes i leave mine for 3/4 mouths at a time and not had a problem. I think the main thing is running it on max for 5 mins sometimes.
Hint: to pre-fill the pipe in my case worked a combination of left upper button (settings) + right lowest button (down arrow). Then system shows 020 - this is how many seconds should it pump the oil. You press OK to start and when oil reaches fire chamber you press OK once more to stop and Power button (right middle) to leave back to main menu.
Hi Steve, Today I cleaned the fuel,line from tank to pump. Installed new filter and pump with new clips. Primed the line to pump removing air bubbles. I continued to prime and eventually using old controller and motherboard the unit started. It ran for nearly one hour from h1 to h6 but when the unit cooled down up came E-04and the unit wouldn’t start again. I changed the controller (identical to yours) then the motherboard for compatibility but up came E-04 again and never started. I have checked power at the pump 4.15 volts increasing to 9.8 to 10.15 volts when both arrows pushed for priming. I don’t know if I have a break in the power because I’m nearly at lost end what else it could be? I think it’s nearly time to remove and replace? What would you do? Thanks Neil
Neil you are not having much luck with this heater are you. So let me get this straight you have changed the pump, motherboard, controller, fuel filter and cleaned fuel line. It was working fine until you turned it off and it was going through its cooling down process, that's when E4 came up is that right ? Do you know someone that has the same heater ? If so can you borrow their pump just to try. There is only the wiring loom left. Let me do some research and i will get back to you in a bit. Where is your boat ?
Hi, It seem you my have the same problem that i had with my one. When i first installed it i could never program it properly, my setting button just didn't work at all. Some times the programs that comes with it is just not compatible with motherboard. I tried replacing just the programmer but it was still the same so i sent it back, I ended up getting a new motherboard and programmer kit for £35 and it has worked fine ever since. It was quite simple to replace. If you have a look at vlog 53 you can see how to do it . Hope this helps
What voltage should I have at the pump connection? I check 3.85v dc but think I need to be pushing priming arrows to get correct reading? Should power be constant or pulse? Thanks Neil
I had to replace my motherboard and controller, Its was just generic replacement set from Amazon so its not branded. The set altogether was about £30 hope this helps. I can see if i can find it for you if needed, let me know.
Is there a way to program this heater to come on at a certain temperature and turn itself off at a target temperature? Or does a person have to monitor the temperature of the space and turn it on and off manually? As in while you're sleeping and you are sweating and wake up and realize that the temperature is very hot in your sleeping space? Or if the temperature falls below freezing and you are freezing as well and realize that in order to not freeze to death, you must turn on the heater?
when your controller is on have you got 1to 6 or 8 to control your temperature ? If so then no but if you have a controller with Celsius then yes. Let me know what you have as it can be changed quite cheaply or i can talk you through how to do it.
@@simplyboating4609 when I press the OK button it will show the time 16:20, 77 F, P-2,9, 12.4 V, E-00 If I press the cog button it will let me change the time, then it shows 1 on, then - - - -, then back to time
My heater keeps coming up with E-4 error code which indicates fuel pump error. Can this be cleaned and repaired or must I replace it? If I reprime each time the fuel is pumped and continues so I’m not sure if the pump is on the way out? Thanks Neil
Hi Neil, I would first check fuel filter is clean then that you have good connection's as they can corrode a bit over time but it's probably not likely but worth checking The last one i fitted sounded like it was pumping but i was just not getting diesel properly to the heater so when i had checked all the bits above i got a new pump on Amazon for about £15 and it has worked fine ever since. Hope this helps, let me know what the outcome is Steve.
Hi Steve. My problem is resolved. I removed the pump, cleaned the connection on both wires and pump. I also changed all the clamps to ones that lock bolt tight. No air or diesel leaks. I’ve started stopped and started at least 6 times and every time starts straight away without priming. I now have 2 pumps, 2 filters and 6 spare clamps just in case one day E-04 comes up again. My only question now is on a new controller how do I set the time and delay for both start and stopping. Regards Neil
Steve. No such luck. After cleaning contacts, replacing all clamps, cleaning fuel filter then primed. The unit ran perfectly. It stopped then started 6-8 times yesterday without requiring to be primed BUT I turned the power switch I installed off and I had to prime the unit again before ignition. The unit came up with E-4 error which was my original problem after not starting the heater for 6 months. It looks like my only option is to leave power switch on to have instant convenience of starting when cold. Do I have any other options? Thanks Neil
@@webbyn I don't always have my heater powered up and it comes on fine. It seems like some how the Motherboard is not remembering that you have primed it and it's working. Have you reset It ? You can do it quit simply by disconnecting it from the battery's and leaving it for about 20/30 mins. Can't remember what i was doing but i know it would not reset by just turning it off i had to disconnect it from battery's to get it to reset. I take it you have checked for leaks. If this don't work let me know and i will try to create the problem with my heater to find the problem Steve..
I take it you have tried to program remote. If you turn it off on the programmer then the programmer should stay on with a dim light on it. I’m not sure but it sounds like you have something like I had that the programmer and the motherboard are not compatible.

My all in one primed itself out of the box first startup . That's why it starts pumping when you turn the power on .... dont see how electronacly doing it makes any difference than just pressing on .There is no manuel prime electric is electric ..it does that all ready when you start the starting cycle . If you want to really manuel prime, then put a squesse ball inline ....but why ?
That's pumping diesel not priming. Priming is so glowplug don't get hot for one thing and yes it is better if you can get diesel to the pump before you use it as the diesel is the only lubricant the pump has.
@simplyboating4609 priming is removing air from the pump so that you can get deisil to the glowplug ...how is pumping diesil not priming ? As long as the pump starts before the glow plug lights , I think that's how the cycle works upon startup.
12 V is too low for your battery health. A fully charged battery should be 12.7 V and you should never drain it to more than 50% of its capacity which should be at about 12.2 V.
Thank God 🙏 A man knows what his talking about & explains thoroughly ✊✔️👍

They are all a bit different.
Is it worth installing a hand primer bulb, like outboards have?
Can't see any reason why you can't install one but normally you would only prime the pump once unless you run out of diesel of course.
Great video! The manual isn’t very helpful, I have a question, mine has H1-6 instead of the temp,what does that mean? I can’t change the temp at all
H1 to H6 is a temp setting as well you should be able to change it by holding to top left button, then it should go to celsius instead.
Do you know, is possible to use heater only as fan? In summer, for air circulation and cooling. Thank you.
Not with the cheap Chinese models, it is possible with some of the more expensive models.

Good thick cables from power supply I take it?
@@Tomdogful I have 4mm cable but i am only about 60cm away from battery's.
How do you change the temperature reading from Celsius to Fahrenheit ??
With this one this is not an option. There are some that you can and as you change from hz to Celsius it gives you that option to go to Fahrenheit.
