Instructions: how to use the Blue Diesel heater LCD Controller with Red Remote

In this video we show you how to use the blue controller/red remote for Chinese diesel heaters. The instructions which come with the diesel heaters are often very hard to comprehend. We show you how to perform the following tasks on your Chinese diesel heater
- Priming the diesel heater fuel lines
- setting the clock and timers
- Navigating the menu
- What you will see on the blue LCD screen and how to read the icons
- Using Hz mode
- Swapping between temperature and Hz mode
- How to pair/use the remote
- Heater startup and shutdown procedures
You can purchase your own controller to upgrade here: amzn.to/2OKqHfd

Thank you so much 1st KZbin video that has my controller. I was completely lost with the Chinese instructions and now I am good. I was so pissed off I was just gonna junk the heater or give it away because I could not sell something that did not think work. You even had brief directions on the remote control which is also fantastic

[@paulclare1106]

Super useful instructions. The supplied instructions are useless. This video got me up and running. Brilliant 👏

[@berko79]

Glad it helped, good to hear you got it going. They are great little heaters!

[@CashJohnston]

So glad I found this video. This controller really has some good capabilities. I never would have been able to figure it out by looking at the instructions. Your screen is so much brighter than mine. I will never remember, sadly, what buttons to push when “in the field.”

[@berko79]

Thanks! Yeah I think it looks brighter in this video than it is in real life. I actually filmed it in my caravan which had a caravan cover on at the time so it was pretty dark in there. As you use the heater you'll get used to the controls and they are pretty easy to remember. If you have reception just come back and watch the vid until you get used to it.

[@denipar69]

Thank you! I set the 1 on and 2 etc thinking that that was how I could set a time for it to come on in my greenhouse and then off in the morning! No wonder it wouldn’t come on a couple days ago! How silly is that for thermostatically running?! Geez! And the thermostat is totally not reliable for ambient temperature! Grrr! I have 3 thermometers/stats and this always shows 2-4 *c higher! No way to calibrate it! And now I now how to set to the hertz mode and pair the remote! 👍👍 such crazy instructions they sent with the units! 🤦🏻‍♀️ tonight is the test mode for it to heat my greenhouse as frost is coming on tonight! Cheers from Canada!

[@berko79]

Hi Denise, yes you are right, the way the timer is setup is not intuitive at all and makes it very annoying for doing reputative timers (like i imagine you will be doing). Also agree with you about the temperature... I actually don't think it chases the temperature and it simply changes the hz and runs the fan/pump slower for a lower temperature. The actual heaters work great, but the timers and controllers can be a bit annoying. There is an aftermarket solution called "Afterburner" which some people say is good - I haven't personally tried this but it apparently removes all these niggly issues we find with the controller.

[@denipar69]

@@berko79 yes I’ve heard of the Afterburner LCD also! I wanted to see how it runs tonight on the lowest hertz setting and what temperature it holds at for maybe a month to decide if I should purchase one. I tried the thermostat option a couple days ago and I found it shoots WAY over what I have it set at! The pump and heat kept coming before the heater finally dialled itself down! So frustrating when you want a set temperature for it to run at! Like +10-15* over shoot! Crazy! So glad I now have it in manual mode to turn on with the remote tonight! 👍🤞 Thanks for responding!

Should work like this one i believe. Just make sure your new controller plugs into the same plug - it should be fine if it does. I've heard of some people having to change the board on the heater too.

[@oojimmyflip]

Thanks for this video, Ive got a 2 kw unit heating my semi detached house downstairs, im still struggling to get to grips with changing from manual to auto modes although on Manual it is maintaining a nice 21 degrees C in m y kitchen and living room with the doors open its running at 3.1 Hz at full chat and as low as 1.0 hz on low speed, only fired it up for the first time yesterday 20 th of Dec 2022, so im still learning, what is most noticeable is the reduction in condensation compared to runing the gas boiler it seems to be drying the air out and today we can see out of the windows. we are extracting the air from the kitchen and pumping the warm air into the living room with the heater mounted on the outside wall in a custom built box 1 meter wide. I think this is going to reduce our energy bhills to arouind £40.00 gbp per week from £60.000 gbp per week at the very least at first I didnt think the 2 kw would be enough to heat our 23 foot x 15 foot x 7ft ceiling height downstairs area but its doing a vary good job of it if I run it at full speed for an hour in the morning and turn it down low for the rest of the day. once again thanks for this I must have watched it 10 times and Im popping back occassionally to see it again.

[@berko79]

wow, nice. I love hearing all the different uses for these heaters. I've always wondered how they would go heating up larger spaces. Great to hear you have had success.

[@oojimmyflip]

@@berko79 ive done some calculations now after 3 days of running for 8 hours a day with the pump set at 1.7hz pump speed on a 2kw heater, in the latest cold snap we were using £12.00 a day on a British gas pre-pay meter with no debt on it. Now since we have been using the heater if I include a litre of diesel a day we are using £4.00 per day on gas and diesel for all day heating. £28 a week or over £80 a week on gas alone. I reckon these heaters could save lives this winter, such a pity no one who helps people in fuel poverty hasnt realised their real life potential, id even give up some spare time to fit them for people. weve even bought another one a 5kw for the caravan but it is heating outside air to maintain 20 degrees C it needs to run at 2.0Hz still much cheaper than running a 3kw electric covector heater or buying gas to run the heating in the caravan. have to start on 5Hz for about half an hour as the outside air is below freezing and it takes longer for the heat exchanger to get up to temperature. ive fitted 2 silencers to this one as it was quite noisey with just one alone. some of the kits seem to come with two silencers its well worth fitting both as it gets the exhaust noise down below 50db. it was 68db with just one silencer at 5.5Hz.

[@3genac]

SORRY cuz I'm pretty sure you posted this but my head is spinning from looking into this subject... please point to guidance on how to use CO tester or other tools to determine good fuel mix. SORRY I found answers to all that follows comments below -- RIF... My controller that looks identical has an Alpine mode, which slows pump to make fuel-air mix leaner, but no explicit control over pump rate in Hz, nor means to control rate and fan speed rate range. It expresses "manual mode" as fixed heat levels H1, H2, ..., not in Hz. Please post video as my control does not seem to suit severe elevation changes. See New Blue LCD screen Vevor Chinese Diesel heater. Mine is not a Vevor fwiw.

[@angeleyes5108]

And what if you don’t want the timer to shut off that you wanna be able to control that like safer example if you’re using it in a greenhouse I don’t want the heater to go out whenever I want to be able to control when to put it on and off how then do you have the settings in that situation?

[@lezbriddon]

I was hoping with this new design they would have done the obvious and changed the timers for alarms, so you could set it to come at say 7am... but no, I cant see how this is an upgrade over the old screens features. Problem is trying to find an 'old' controller with on and off times

[@berko79]

Even the old style controllers didnt do that. It so crazy how they program them to work where most people want a timer with an on time and an off time. I think afterburner is an option but it costs as much as the heater. I'd still like to get my hands on one and have a look at what it has to offer.

[@donkelly8654]

I had mine set to 17 degrees cel, it never stop running, even at 19 degrees cel. I does not stop running once the set temperature is reached, the pump ran the whole time, unless I pressed the power button to turn it off!

By turning it on you basically did the same thing as priming it but with the glow plug on. No issues at all. Your controller might look the same but there are some slightly different with the features. Anyway if it's working it should be all good 👍

Manual priming stopped when it was finished . It did pour out some black smoke upon start up but it cleared. Problem now is getting into FT and Fº

Oh missed this one before your other comment. Yeah black smoke is probably because you primed a bit long. Don't think it's possible on these controllers to change them to imperial. I know some other types do

[@yxcvmk]

Video came in handy.Thank you. Which would you currently see as the best controller availabe? Do you have an internal list of favorites with reasons?

[@berko79]

I've only really tried the black (very common one) and this blue one. They are very similar in terms of feature and that is probably because they share the same controller board (inside the heater). Be careful though there are now knock off of the knock offs coming out with less features!

You have minimum pump frequency set to 1,2 (factory settings screen). Can you go to this while heating? Mine go to 1,7Hz regardless what is set as factory limit

[@berko79]

Yeah I can go down to 1.2 when heating. Weird they are all set up differently.

[@mareka7]

Partially solved. The controller can't select limit values when Hertz span is too big for it. When I set 1,2 - 3,3 span, then can use whole range. When go higher to 4,4, selectable lower value is 1,7.

hmm that sounds really odd - maybe some of the buttons on your controller are not working properly? Im not across any other combinations or if there are maybe other variations of this blue controller which have less features so i'd suspect maybe your controller is faulty.

Hi there, I got my heater installed a couple weeks ago, worked fine for a week then it started turning off after a few minutes of running. Red controller kept cycling between extinguished, overheating and failed start with the blue controller saying E10. Left it off for a couple days as that's what I've seen fixes the problem but now it's doing it again. I'm also having trouble turning on the priming setting. I've got no Idea how to fix this as this is not my forte so any help would be appreciated.

[@berko79]

E10 is a fuel delivery error. I'd double check your lines have no leaks. Otherwise i'm not sure if your heater had the hard nylon fuel line or if it had the kind of soft hose. If its the soft stuff they are known to be pretty bad at not allowing the fuel to be delivered properly and it might be worth swapping to the harder line stuff. In regards to priming - some controllers do not come with priming functions and some that do are a real pain to get it to trigger. I sometimes have to push the 2 buttons ever so slightly apart (like the settings button gets pushed a millisecond before the right arrow).

[@bygoran]

When the heater is turned off will the display turn off also if yes after how. Long or. It just stays on whole time

E01 is undervoltage from memory. You might need thicker wires from your battery, or on charge or even the engine on if its in something with an engine. The startup uses the most power from your battery so it will fail on starting up and throw that error. Hopefully this helps.

Hi there , I have the same unit as you do, but when I plug my heater in. It doesn’t show the time ? And I can’t find the option to set the time? And the instructions that came with it are useless. I also can’t pair my mini controller with it either. Can you help me?

[@berko79]

Can you confirm how many blades (light up on the screen) on the fan on the controller. I know they are now being produced with 3 blade icons. These controllers have limited functions (no timers and lots of the menus removed)

@@berko79 hi there mine has three blades.

@@richwhite8592 yeah unfortunately that's why you are seeing less features than mine. It won't do the timers or have the priming functions from memory.

[@richwhite8592]

@@berko79 I am able to prime it .

[@scottyb6765]

Thanks for the video. When manually priming how do you know when to stop. I assume this is done ont he first start up only. Is that right?

[@berko79]

It's best to watch the lines and stop when you see the fuel get close to the heater

[@lakeside_drones8224]

Does this controller have the 1688 menu ?

[@berko79]

Sure does, you can see me go through and check it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqKUZ32ipNeHd80 at about 3 mins 40 secs

Thank you for the video! I have a question regarding the temp setting. I set the desired temp to 50F and the heater reached that temp in just a few minutes. From there, the heater dropped to a very low setting (6W) and ran heat on low. After 45 minutes, however, the van is now 60F, 10 degrees higher than the temp I set and the pump has been pumping the entire time. QUESTIONS: Does the unit controller know when to turn off when it's reached desired temp and does the fuel pump stay on endlessly?

[@berko79]

Unfortunately it never switches itself fully off. I'm assuming this is to save the continual startup routine. It does slow itself (fan and pump) right down but if this is still too much on the minimum setting to stay under the requested temperature the area will heat up and be above the desired temp. In our Caravan/RV i've had to leave the windows open some nights to help regulate the temp as the unit cannot to it itself as the minimum is still too much.

[@kylehowe2698]

@@berko79 Thank you for the thorough response! I also read somewhere else that turning the Hz or degrees down as low as possible helps some too. Looks like I'll be opening a window! Without the heater, my problem was being too cold, now it's being too warm! Oh well! I'm still very happy with my heater so far.

[@gazza750]

they keep ticking over so the heat does keep increasing slowly even though you have reached your required temp. Some people adjust the hertz to keep the pump supplying a minimal amount of fuel to help with the control of the temp.

[@thomassmith9305]

Does the ambient temperature only get detected on the blue controller or did it get detected on the red remote too?

[@berko79]

I've seen others could get it up on their remote but wasnt able to. Might depend which remote you have.

[@40glo46]

Is it necessary to put the timer or can you just have the unit running until you manually turn it off?

[@berko79]

Yeah you can manually turn it off. I just manually start and stop mine. Very rarely use the timer.

Hi i have a fault E_09 anybody know what it is thanks

[@berko79]

Faulty glow plug I think usually you just need to replace it

Mine won’t work by doing that nothing at all happens

Screen lit up? does it flash on when you push on?

@@berko79 sorry about late reply , I figured out what was wrong isn’t it always the way was such a simple error , I followed instructions on how too prime the fuel too the heater I had done this many times with older style one so was slightly different for the blue facia control but just wouldn’t function I got fed up and pressed everything in sight and still nothing only came on and off fuel was there but not pumping 🤔 so I changed the pump from my old one that definitely did used to work , but still nothing on screen and wouldn’t pump , jeez I thought this is difficult to solve I even changed over the control from my older style one even changed over the brain I tried everything, I sat there dejected for another 30 minuets I had spend all day till late at night baffled then I noticed where I had been disconnecting the fuel pipes on the pump I had leaked tiny amounts of fuel on too the top of the black connector that plugs in to top of fuel pump , so I thought I’ll blow on it like mad kinda drying it out ? And thought this is never gonna be the problem but I’ll fire it up for the last time before I launch it in too a nearby rubbish tip , guess what bingo pump started ticking and has never stopped works fine and display started working , would you have thought that tiny bit of fuel getting in the connector would cause such misery lol 😃

@@berko79 yes screen always lites up but buttons wouldn’t function ie nothing happening when pressing any , but as you can see I solved the problem at last !!
