I have the Vevor 5 kw upright totally enclosed unit and priming was not necessary. In fact, some people over-prime and end up with more trouble. For the very first run I filled the tank, because I knew this would assist priming, and just pressed the power button for 2 seconds and waited, it gets itself going eventually. It automatically primed and got going with full heat after about 4 minutes. The shutdown cycle took about 4 minutes as well. Thank you for your video. It helped me understand the controller better. Maybe some units needs the initial priming but mine either did not or primed itself.
Super thanks, needed to find out how to get to the secret menu on this blue controller....
I came here hoping to find that answer!
@@originalAtreyu it is in the video did you find it?
@@vanlifesurvivorsguide it is! ? I'll look again
@@vanlifesurvivorsguide I actually have the newer controller with the res circle lower left. 3 digit code. Blue led display
@@originalAtreyu I don't think they have 3 digit pins, if you are getting 3 dashes on the screen that is the same as error code 7 on them controllers.
Either it isn't compatible with the motherboard or there is a bad connection to the controller. Most likely a bent pin in the connection from the wring loom to the controller, a bent pin in the connector where the wring loom connects to the heater. If the screen is lighting up it isn't the red or black cable it is the blue cable.
If it isn't a bad connection in the connectors it could be the blue wire is damaged or has a bad solder to either the motherboard or controllers circuit board.
Im in need of one of these for the van! great video
Always enjoy the videos
Just purchased one of these through Amazon but could not make any sense out of the instruction manual. Thank you so much for clarifying!
Perfect. Thank you
Thanks man
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE emphasize this controller has a wrench/spanner icon at top left. A nearly identical model with blue trim, gear icon and blue LED readout does NOT have 4-digit code providing access to advanced pump rate/fan speed range settings, essential for use at elevation. Thank you! Your content is invaluable.
I was wondering why I am not getting the same results as explained in this video. My controller has the gear icon instead of the spanner wrench icon. Do you happen to know of a video for controls on my controller
Yep I couldn't prime mine 8th try & now it's on everyone says how hot it is 😂😂😂😂😂 I like heat so this is pants I should actually fit the 5kw that was sent as a 2kw
It does, you need to hold ok and on button and password pops up, but no idea what the password is
In the video it said check description for video on temp or hz settings I couldn’t find it. And many of the links don’t work says USA, but goes to UK site
Hi, I have just bought a van and it has this controller. Does this controller stay on all the time? When heater isn’t on? Can’t see how you would turn the display off when not in use. Hope you can help
For info ... my heater was purchased on Dec 2024 and the "Wrench Icon" Is now a "Gear Icon" Although most everyone could figure that out I imagine :)
Hello, this video has been invaluable as like many other people I have found that the written instructions are practically useless.
Sorry if this seems to be a bit of a silly question but is the thermostat situated in the controller or the main heater unit ?
I only ask this as my heater is 'underslung' beneath may van.
Again, thanks for the great vid.
Its in the controller so if you have the controller in the van it can read the ambient and target temps. There is a temp sensor on the heater body too that tells the controller how hot the heater body is.
@@vanlifesurvivorsguide thanks for that
@@vanlifesurvivorsguide thank you. Does the Hz mode over ride the degree temp mode when activated ?
Do you know if you can set the Hz first then use temperature mode? Or does temperatre mode run at full power up until the temperature is made and then it drops down?
Hey thanks for the video. I'm trying to decide which version of heater to buy. What are the differences between the black controller and this blue one? There are so many different versions it's very confusing trying to decide which heater i should buy. Thanks
What batteries dies the newer style need for remote ??
hi can you please tell me how to prime the pump had air getting in wont let me push the end buttons as when i first started thanks
Yeah, you need to un plug the controller and plug it back in again it only works after first being plugged in
Hi low low does iy go on rpm and hz in hidde menu?
thank you
i noticed that some vevor heaters come with a control knob. i was wondering if the knob was "plug and play", and if i could replace the simple knob with an LCD display instead?
Can I ask you a question I'm trying to pair the small black remote but all it says is waiting any idea.
Cheers!
Q is this adjustable for altitude - I need 5200m - yup meters. Oh, in case you're wondering - The Pamir highway 🙏
yes in the secret menu. you will need to find the chart for different altitudes and adjust accordingly
@@vanlifesurvivorsguide cool, I'm impressed - I must Patreon! 👍🙏
How do you put in alpine mode please
How do you set specific pump and fan rates?
Does it have a thermistor ? A small hole somewhere around the unit.
You have it set for 12.4 volts? Mine is only 12 volt? Could this be the issue?
Hi mate, if your battery is reading 12v it needs a charge. 11.9 is pretty much empty 12.8 and above is full or charging.
The priming issue im not sure. you should be able to prime with a low battery...
is it the same controller with the same icons? some look the same but have different icons with that controller you need to press and hold both arrow buttons at the same time and keep them pressed to prime.
or if it is the same controller with the same icons the controller might just need unplugging and plugging back in again as they normally only go into priming mode just after they have been turned on.
I hope this helps, let me know if it doesn't
@vanlifesurvivorsguide thanks for replying mate. I've fixed the priming issue but what's happening on the screen is that when I turn it on it starts off at like 11.9 volts then just starts going on and switches off at 11.3. I'm using an led driver which is 12 volt 75 watts so around 6.3 amps
@@boabglen ah ok, the glow plug uses 11 amps on start up so you need to up the power supply. After start up 3 amps is the most it will use on full power
Hello. I have one of these, but I don't remember the password... I accidentally changed it and I don't know what it is... what do I do now?
Thanks for these videos. They helped a little but it’s ridiculously annoying how I’m only making tiny steps with the one we have. I followed the first video to change Htz to ‘Temp’ but it’s only displaying Fahrenheit not Celsius.
Iv followed the second video to pair the remote. This worked, and on the remote it displays Celsius, but it won’t increase the temperature, it will only let me increase the Htz with the remote. And it’s still displaying Fahrenheit on the display 🙁
Hi mate, we have a video on our page that specifically shows you how to switch that controller form f to c
How do you show the run time instead of the clock when running ?
Thx for this, just got mine, but I did not prime it, it just worked 😅, so what happens if you don't prime?
If fuel supply is not primed and has air in the system you will get shutdowns with error codes , I was getting E10 and E8 , I primed again fully and has worked great since , you want to hear a steady "roar" in the exhaust , if it is intermittent it has air in the system or not enough fuel supply, I just went through this tonight with my new heater , search the web for the secret menu to change fuel mixture and fan speed for optimal efficiency ( Hz and hi-low fan speeds) , once you get the heater dialed in it wont used too much fuel and wont shut off
How to you check the casing temp with this controller? Thx
It's not this controller mate, it is one that looks similar. With this one you just look at the red yellow and green bars in the picture of the heater on the controller.
@@vanlifesurvivorsguide thanks mate. Does the blue controller actually adjust fueling for altitude? I’ve read yes and mostly no…
@@grutzmac we couldn't find it so I think no
Good video. Unfortunately, if you want the transcript it just mentions buttons but does not tell you which ones to press.
Thanks for the video the priming instructions were a big help! Just installed my 2kw heater with the same controller. The temp mode only goes up to 3.5 hz. Is something amiss or is this possibly related to the smaller diesel heater?
yeah, it sounds like you have a smaller pump and smaller heater. Is it a 2kw?
@@vanlifesurvivorsguide yeah 2kw installed but haven't got to use it yet because of random Spring-like weather haha -- testing was good but fingers crossed
Awesome video many thanks. Is there a way to manually slow down the fan once the unit has been going for a while?
How do you mean? Like turn the power down or just the fan?
I noticed that you cant go below 1,7 Hz despite that min. limit is set at 1,4 Hz. Mine unit behaves the same. Thats a pity. Do you know if thre is a way to go to 1,4 Hz or lower?
When i put the on button on for primer mine doesn't make any priming noise?
My blue vevor primes but wont start when I press the power button. Any ideas? The fan does not spin or anything. Thanks
Can the display be turned off? I don’t want it to drain my battery when the heater is not in use.
No but it an easily be unplugged when not in use
So I have done what the video tells me, but instead of it showing H of. It shows 0.20 on the control panel ?
Mine looks identical... but not the same functions.
Anyone know the differences between the blue controller with spanner button and the one with gear button ? Need to update my entire setup with a new ecu and controller/display
Mine looks like that... but does not do what yours is doin.. lpl😅
How to get it in alpine mode
Ok with settings both
Anyone know how to get into the advanced settings with this controller but it has a gear instead of wrench in the top left?
Is the frame red instead of blue like in this video?
I have red frame and the gear instead of wrench. Can reach some menus and need help.
1688 is the code... other videos on the net show how to tweak the setting.. try David McLuckie
Hello. I need some help and I am hoping this may be the place. I bought an 8kw vevor heater but the lcd panel doesnt come on at all. Are these lcd control panels model specific or can i just buy one off ebay please? If someone could please help it would be much appreciated. New to these heaters and their workings. Thanks
What diesel heater would you recommend?
We have a list of tried and tested diesel heaters in the description of this video. We also have a link to our diesel heater facebook group there too. If you join the group we can help you make a choice and share links but if I post a link here it will be deleted by youtube :)
Does anyone know how to factory reset this controller? My friend changed pin number and forgot it. He also changed fans RPM and now his heater does not work properly. Thanks for any advice.
you missed putting it in alpine mode.
Where is alpine mode on these controllers bud?
He doesn't know 🤷🏻♂️
Q: Is this controller specific to a particular motherboard
It appears basically it's the same functions as the Mk1 motherboard
I've named it Mk1, I've now got the later type Mk2 motherboard and don't like it.
yeah pretty much exactly the apart from the buttons are in different locations and this one has a few more functions too. Yeah the newer motherboards are nowhere near as good
What happens if the green icon doesnt show up on the lower left of the screen after i turn it on? Nothing happens, how do i fix it?
which icon do you mean?
The priming cycle icon on the screen
that only comes on when the pump is on. so it is cutting out before it gets to that point at a guess. it takes a min or 2 tow to kick in once you turn it on have you waited?
We used this controller as a replacement to our Vevor diesel heater controller, do you know if this remote is compatible with vevor? Yes, pump is on, and we waited but the screen flipped back to the main screen with 4 zeros on it. It didnt really turn on the heater.
@@lyrapornasdoro7364 did u find fix?
Nearly every new heater now on the market dosent have the ability to adjust the fan and pump speed...☹
Most of the new controllers are supposed to do it automatically unfortunatley a lot of them don't
Great info, but audio is too quiet.
ive had one with the black controller for years been great just got a vevor with this controller and cant pair the remote to it the right button doesnt work brand new unit i asked the seller on ebay about it they wanted me to go off platform to contact them thats a red flag so i called ebay they said absolutely not dont do that just tell them i wont and if they dont respond within 24 hours they will issue a full refund. it works just the remote doesn't pair up so im thinking just go for a refund if i get it great if not then ill just get a controller harness extention and put the cintroller in the house. worst case ill just put the heater from my shed where this one was to go ive got like $100 worth of accessories on the way to plumb up a 25L Jerry can as a fuel tank
Hi mate, thats annoying. Is it the controller button or remote button that doesn't work? You can pair the old style remotes to this controller too we have a video of in on our channel if thats any help
