Great video! Explained exactly what I needed to know. The instructions I received from my unit were completely worthless had I followed them I would've wire the unit up incorrectly. Your controller is exactly the controller I have which made this video great finished my install watched your video and it fired up first time got rid of that 30 year old propane furnace👍👍👍

@Tony Bailes I've got two heaters, each has a completely different display. The one like you see in the thumbnail with the heater graphic always shows info even if it's off. The backlight will dim until you press a button then it goes bright, but it's still visible at all times. The other type is just numerical digits and goes dark after it shuts down.
@Tony Bailes next to nothing in terms of battery usage to power only the display head unit. If you're using the heater in your shop, it's advised to power it off a car battery and use a battery maintainer/trickle charger.
I'm giving you 6 stars instead of 5 for this better than excellent video. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. Explorer 867 = Hero of the Day!!!!!

Thanks for making the video, I just bought a diesel heater, and the instruction manual that came with it , is next to useless, but you explained how the controls work, in a way that was easy to understand.
As others have already mentioned you have provided useful information for us 'English' to understand. I have an original Chinese instruction sheet but is impossible to read and has been overprinted, rendering most of it useless. Most of the instructions that I can read are very amusing, like - 'The machine heat is limited to the range of selection, taking into account the habits of some old drivers' . lol There are more but I'll be here all day.

This is amazing! I like that you can actually set a timer, which could be really handy. I also like that the controller is so easy to read. Really impressed with this.
Yes! This is a nice controller, easy to operate and very easy to program. For Helen and I we probably wont use the timer function but the setup for it is the same as setting up the clock function. Take care.
@@explorer867 I have a different controller on my heater. Do you have a source for this controller? I have trouble programming mine. It's a 19 universal digital panel, is what's on instructions paper. This one looks much better.

I've just bought one of these 5 Kv diesel heaters as my home gas fired heater stopped working due to an excess of rain water around the burner unit causing an electrical short and a shut down. The instruction book was not a lot of use as it didn't clearly show settings through the path to fire up and shut down etc By pure luck I did get it to initially run by blindly experimenting with the control buttons and it did perform well. This video has been the answer to using the heater and now I have to find a way/place to install it so the exhaust can be directed outside......the exhaust pipe DOES get really hot. It's going to be a temporary emergency fix but at the same time I'll probably be using it mainly in my garage workshop in Winter......temperatures in South OZ get down to 10 deg C and that's too cold to work for any length of time without some heating. For the garage I'll just mount it against the wall on a shelf and direct the exhaust out of the window, probably eventually through a hole drilled in the brickwork........it will be much cheaper to run than the industrial 20KW electric heater I use occasionally. Edit........I'm so impressed with the simplicity of using this heater I'll invest in a second one just for the garage as this one I going to stay in the house for times when the gas heater is not working.
Ian, Glad the video helped you. Make sure you have a working CO detector in your work/living space. Looks like your much warmer Down Under than we are here in Central Oregon, 8 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. My diesel heaters have been working well for me for 3 years now, one in my pickup topper and one in my converted cargo trailer camper or Caravan. Good to hear from you mate. Have a great day.

I spent the better part of three hours today trying to figure out the controller. I'm installing it into a trailer while it was in my 60'ish degree shed. I figured out how to prime it, but could'nt get it to turn on. Is the reason it wouldn't turn on because the ambient temp was too high and the setting was set at "auto" and not "manual? Also, the battery light flashed at times with a new and charged 12v battery. You're video is very helpful! Thank you
Hi billd.8925, Thank you for checking out my video. Please Like, Subscribe, Ring the Bell and let others know about our channel on your social media. It is possible that the controller if set to Celsius and set to a temperature lower than the ambiant temperature may keep the diesel heater from running at a faster rate. The heater should start up if the battery isn't discharged. Check this with a multimeter, it should read 12.7 volts or little above for a fully charged battery. When correctly wired to the power source your electronic controller will show you a battery voltage reading. Watch my video again as I point out this feature. Make sure you have followed the instructions given you when you purchased the heater to do your installation. You alone are responsible for your safe installation practices.

There are a few other advanced settings that are very helpful to have that you have not explained. Also. I'd like to use the timer. But good on you for getting a vid up.
Thank you for your comment. This videos intent was show others what I did with my heater and controller. I have no designs on using the advanced settings with my application. Have a great day
Thanks So Much , for the Great info!... A word to the wize, keep on hand an extra glow plug. Preferably an Espar, or Wabsto plug, for replacement. I live in my van in Alaska. The chinese plug is JUNK!!!😖🥶
Thanks for the heads up!! I have one of these units in my sprinter van. Is there anyway you could drop a link of the glow plug you are speaking of that will fit in the Chinese diesel heater as well as the special 12mm socket with the slit for the wire? Thank you! You seem to have more experience replacing these things. I appreciate it.
Thank you very well explained. Even though my controller is different the modes are alot alike and the way to tell which is which on the Temps was very helpful. Knowledge gained thank you.

We have a webasto in the used motor home we bought and the previous owner said it was disconnected.. he said it works..but we really want to see what we can do to make it work. Don’t know why he disconnected it. Great video 👍👍
You may want to pull it apart and clean out the burn chamber and clean the filter screen that is in the glow plug slot. You will need parts to do the job mostly gaskets. Be careful with the glow plug and wires they are fragile. Thank you for watching our channel and leaving your comments. Have a great day.
Hi, Thank you for all your info and work that goes into making these video's. I was getting a low voltage warning E-01 and the heater would then shut down. It wasn't the batteries for they were at 13.2v . Come to find out it was the fuse and after changing it the unit worked just fine.

Thank you so much. I have had a desil heater and it took me so long to assemble it and then the on off simple switch didn't work and I wanted the one that showed me what was going on with it. Anyway no instructions came with the control pod, and I have been randomly pushing buttons looking for the feringeight button and now I know there is only Celsius. So I have to create a exchange sheet laminate it and tape it to the machine. I also didn't know what the (of) ment. I thought it meant shut off. I have learned so much, need to rewatch several times to memorize and take notes. Had to guerilla tape over the flimsy heater output hose as this is for a tent. And I definitely need a longer more flexible exhaust hose. Will be looking to see if they sell those any longer. I built the heater into a plastic tool box with the intake and exhaust hose coming out of the bottom of the box. I think they should have designed those two further apart. I also had to create a different size square gas tank, using tire air valve after removing the small screw in needle. So far it works good. Glad line is a bit stuff in the cold. I don't trust the exhaust which is under the machine to be inside the tent even if the exhaust was vented outside. So entire thing except heater hose connected to a dryer hose, all insulated up with blk gurrella duct tape will be all that enters inside the tent instead of a wood stove. I like my tent stove but one cannot sleep and feed a stove during winter camping. Anyway, I am so happy I found your instruction for the control. It was a big mystery to me. Heater kept shutting off. Does the control pod have a thermostat where if it is colder it pumps faster and if it gets to warm it will slow down? Need more instruction about the megahurtz.
Thank you for watching the video and watching my other videos also. The controller if set on Celsius will automatically run the diesel heater up and down to keep heat in a given space at one temperature. That said is dependent on the size of the room, the insulation in roof and walls, and size of heater. Always be safe, consult and follow what your owner's manual says to do. Please give the video a Thumbs up, Subscribe, Ring the Bell and let others know about our channel on your social media. Have a good week.
Thank you for your comment. If the electronic controller is set on Celsius the heater will run at a higher speed until the temperature set on the controller is reached, then heater will run at a lower speed until room cools, then heater fan will speed up again. Heater doesn't shut off until you turn it off, then the heater must run its cool down cycle and turns off. Please Like, Subscribe, Ring the bell and let others know about our channel on your social media.
So it will not shut off after it reaches set target temperature? If that is the case, in a small space like a van, it will get warmer and warmer, won't it? Not ideal if you like to use the heater to keep the van warm during sleep time
These heaters don't actually shut off. If set on Hz setting will run at that setting, if set to the Celsius it will run at that target setting. Please give a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel then let others know about my channel. Have a great week.
Were very happy thus far with the Diesel heater. With this control it makes management of the heater very easy. Thank you for your comment and for watching our channel.

@@projectzip That's a good point projectzip. If the diesel heater is constantly cycling It will consume the battery. I will however look into the afterburner controller. Where did you find it? Please like, subscribe, and let others know about my channel.

Yes, this electronic controller is very nice for sure. The heater works perfectly. Thank you for watching our video and leaving your comments. Have a great day
Great video! May I please ask you if the temperature settings on the unit, in fact control the temperature? What I mean is if I set the unit on i.e. 22 deg C, does the unit then keep a temperature of 22 deg in the cabin?
hi not sure if i am posting in the right place i have fitted a heater and it all works perfect and have found all your advice really useful...my question is when i switch it off should all the led's on the readout stay lit or can i make them go off till i switch it on again as it will be using electric,,i know it;s not much but all helps

Hello Oregon friends. Thanks for doing these reviews, I really appreciate them. This heater would be overkill in my Honda Element in the lower 48, but, if I was camping in the mountains of BC or Alaska it would be perfect. Cheers!
Not too techy, Just the facts Ma'am as a famous tv detective used to say LOL. Were putting the heater to use now and enjoying the warmth. Thanks for commenting Fern.
I wish there was a video to set the timer. Is it a count down timer or is it a start timer? The pump is kind of loud since my heater isn’t covered by a bench right now but hopefully covering it with a bench will deaden the sound of the pump. I’d prefer the heater to come on after I fall asleep

Ok, thanks,, from deep cold north florida temps. The info you gave was put in a way i could comprehend. I learned from you about the temp degree setting differences, what to look for, the tiny degree indicator indicating thermostat temp verses the larger degree marker indicating target temperature .
This Helped me. Thanks again. Happy travels. 😊😊😎😎

This is amazing! I like that you can actually set a timer, which could be really handy. I also like that the controller is so easy to read. Really impressed with this.
Yes! This is a nice controller, easy to operate and very easy to program. For Helen and I we probably wont use the timer function but the setup for it is the same as setting up the clock function. Take care.
@@explorer867
I have a different controller on my heater. Do you have a source for this controller?
I have trouble programming mine. It's a 19 universal digital panel, is what's on instructions paper.
This one looks much better.
Can someone explain how to use the timer and what the lock is for
@@lynlusse4542 did you figure out what the lock is for? Mine doesn't go below 1.6hz

From Madrid, Spain, thanks so much for this video. Very useful.
Glad you found it helpful. Remember to subscribe to my channel. Have a good day
I've just bought one of these 5 Kv diesel heaters as my home gas fired heater stopped working due to an excess of rain water around the burner unit causing an electrical short and a shut down.
The instruction book was not a lot of use as it didn't clearly show settings through the path to fire up and shut down etc
By pure luck I did get it to initially run by blindly experimenting with the control buttons and it did perform well.
This video has been the answer to using the heater and now I have to find a way/place to install it so the exhaust can be directed outside......the exhaust pipe DOES get really hot.
It's going to be a temporary emergency fix but at the same time I'll probably be using it mainly in my garage workshop in Winter......temperatures in South OZ get down to 10 deg C and that's too cold to work for any length of time without some heating.
For the garage I'll just mount it against the wall on a shelf and direct the exhaust out of the window, probably eventually through a hole drilled in the brickwork........it will be much cheaper to run than the industrial 20KW electric heater I use occasionally.
Edit........I'm so impressed with the simplicity of using this heater I'll invest in a second one just for the garage as this one I going to stay in the house for times when the gas heater is not working.
Ian, Glad the video helped you. Make sure you have a working CO detector in your work/living space. Looks like your much warmer
Down Under than we are here in Central Oregon, 8 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. My diesel heaters have been working well for me for 3 years now, one in my pickup topper and one in my converted cargo trailer camper or Caravan. Good to hear from you mate. Have a great day. Please give me a thumbs up on the video, subscribe, let others know about our channel on your social media, and do check out our other videos. 👍
I spent the better part of three hours today trying to figure out the controller. I'm installing it into a trailer while it was in my 60'ish degree shed. I figured out how to prime it, but could'nt get it to turn on. Is the reason it wouldn't turn on because the ambient temp was too high and the setting was set at "auto" and not "manual? Also, the battery light flashed at times with a new and charged 12v battery. You're video is very helpful! Thank you
Hi billd.8925, Thank you for checking out my video. Please Like, Subscribe, Ring the Bell and let others know about our channel on your social media.
It is possible that the controller if set to Celsius and set to a temperature lower than the ambiant temperature may keep the diesel heater from running at a faster rate. The heater should start up if the battery isn't discharged. Check this with a multimeter, it should read 12.7 volts or little above for a fully charged battery. When correctly wired to the power source your electronic controller will show you a battery voltage reading. Watch my video again as I point out this feature.
Make sure you have followed the instructions given you when you purchased the heater to do your installation. You alone are responsible for your safe installation practices.
Brilliant video. Thank you so much. I couldn't make head nor tail of the instruction book!!!

There are a few other advanced settings that are very helpful to have that you have not explained. Also. I'd like to use the timer. But good on you for getting a vid up.
Thank you for your comment. This videos intent was show others what I did with my heater and controller. I have no designs on using the advanced settings with my application. Have a great day
Thanks So Much , for the Great info!... A word to the wize, keep on hand an extra glow plug. Preferably an Espar, or Wabsto plug, for replacement. I live in my van in Alaska. The chinese plug is JUNK!!!😖🥶
Thanks for the heads up!! I have one of these units in my sprinter van. Is there anyway you could drop a link of the glow plug you are speaking of that will fit in the Chinese diesel heater as well as the special 12mm socket with the slit for the wire? Thank you! You seem to have more experience replacing these things. I appreciate it.
Good advice.
Thank you very well explained. Even though my controller is different the modes are alot alike and the way to tell which is which on the Temps was very helpful. Knowledge gained thank you.

We have a webasto in the used motor home we bought and the previous owner said it was disconnected.. he said it works..but we really want to see what we can do to make it work. Don’t know why he disconnected it. Great video 👍👍
You may want to pull it apart and clean out the burn chamber and clean the filter screen that is in the glow plug slot. You will need parts to do the job mostly gaskets. Be careful with the glow plug and wires they are fragile. Thank you for watching our channel and leaving your comments. Have a great day.
Hi, Thank you for all your info and work that goes into making these video's. I was getting a low voltage warning E-01 and the heater would then shut down. It wasn't the batteries for they were at 13.2v . Come to find out it was the fuse and after changing it the unit worked just fine.

Thank you so much. I have had a desil heater and it took me so long to assemble it and then the on off simple switch didn't work and I wanted the one that showed me what was going on with it. Anyway no instructions came with the control pod, and I have been randomly pushing buttons looking for the feringeight button and now I know there is only Celsius. So I have to create a exchange sheet laminate it and tape it to the machine.
I also didn't know what the (of) ment. I thought it meant shut off.
I have learned so much, need to rewatch several times to memorize and take notes.
Had to guerilla tape over the flimsy heater output hose as this is for a tent. And I definitely need a longer more flexible exhaust hose. Will be looking to see if they sell those any longer. I built the heater into a plastic tool box with the intake and exhaust hose coming out of the bottom of the box. I think they should have designed those two further apart. I also had to create a different size square gas tank, using tire air valve after removing the small screw in needle. So far it works good. Glad line is a bit stuff in the cold. I don't trust the exhaust which is under the machine to be inside the tent even if the exhaust was vented outside. So entire thing except heater hose connected to a dryer hose, all insulated up with blk gurrella duct tape will be all that enters inside the tent instead of a wood stove. I like my tent stove but one cannot sleep and feed a stove during winter camping. Anyway, I am so happy I found your instruction for the control. It was a big mystery to me. Heater kept shutting off.
Does the control pod have a thermostat where if it is colder it pumps faster and if it gets to warm it will slow down?
Need more instruction about the megahurtz.
Thank you for watching the video and watching my other videos also. The controller if set on Celsius will automatically run the diesel heater up and down to keep heat in a given space at one temperature. That said is dependent on the size of the room, the insulation in roof and walls, and size of heater.
Always be safe, consult and follow what your owner's manual says to do.

Great video. Can i just ask what happens to the heater once you desired temperature has been reached. Does it keep going or shut down.
Regards.
Steve.
Thank you for your comment. If the electronic controller is set on Celsius the heater will run at a higher speed until the temperature set on the controller is reached, then heater will run at a lower speed until room cools, then heater fan will speed up again. Heater doesn't shut off until you turn it off, then the heater must run its cool down cycle and turns off.

Thank you Gonagain. The heater works beautifully. Take care you two.
thanks for explaining the Hz setting, just what i was looking for.
Your welcome. Stay warm this winter.
So it will not shut off after it reaches set target temperature? If that is the case, in a small space like a van, it will get warmer and warmer, won't it? Not ideal if you like to use the heater to keep the van warm during sleep time
These heaters don't actually shut off. If set on Hz setting will run at that setting, if set to the Celsius it will run at that target setting. Please give a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel then let others know about my channel. Have a great week.
interesting set up, I am going to have to go back and watch the other 2 videos on this.

Get yourself the Afterburner controller. It does this for you. But stop starting will eat your battery.
@@projectzip That's a good point projectzip. If the diesel heater is constantly cycling It will consume the battery. I will however look into the afterburner controller. Where did you find it? Please like, subscribe, and let others know about my channel.

Great video! May I please ask you if the temperature settings on the unit, in fact control the temperature? What I mean is if I set the unit on i.e. 22 deg C, does the unit then keep a temperature of 22 deg in the cabin?
Yes
Hi, and if i set temp 21 C , 15 min later controller show 26 C and the heater dont stop, why do this? Why not stop the heating?! Thx

Not too techy, Just the facts Ma'am as a famous tv detective used to say LOL. Were putting the heater to use now and enjoying the warmth. Thanks for commenting Fern.
I wish there was a video to set the timer. Is it a count down timer or is it a start timer? The pump is kind of loud since my heater isn’t covered by a bench right now but hopefully covering it with a bench will deaden the sound of the pump. I’d prefer the heater to come on after I fall asleep

I was looking for the Temp-Hz -switch, I have a different controller, arrows are horizontal and 'OK' button in upper right corner.
It will flip btw Hz and temp by pressing OK and Left Arrow simultaneously, found it by following Your guide.
The minimum setting in my controller seems to be 1.6Hz.... still too much for a small camper van.
