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

[@vantasticlifestyle5776]

Thank you for going right to business. You didn't spend 5 minutes talking about yourself first. Great instructional video.

[@xavierlumley7997]

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

[@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.

[@RIMHQ-YT]

Hey, i have this blue controller but o cannot acces the settings for khz like you and when i cycle through the OK button it dont show altitude and max celcius is 210c at any settings from h4 h5 and h6. So it wont get any hotter and i cannot adjust rpm or any stuff like you do. Are there other button combination? Maybe 3 buttons? To prime mine its arrow left and right.

[@berko79]

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.

[@RIMHQ-YT]

@@berko79 supposedly there are copis of copis of these controller. And i have the one wich doesnt have a back door seeting. Its what people say. All button works but the combo for going into khz and such doestnt

[@berko79]

@@RIMHQ-YT oh right, i know the black controller has a copy with hardly any of the features. That one you can tell because it only has 3 fan blades on the fan icon on the screen. The worst bit about those ones is you cant just swap the controller you also need the board to be replaced in the heater.

[@RIMHQ-YT]

@@berko79 aha, well its works so ill guess its ok. I can only reach 210 celcius but i thought it was gonna create more heat than it does. I can rin a 3300watts electric fan and that heats up the garage kinda fast but this is taking forever compared... Ill mount it closer to where i will work so ill guess it will be better with a better placement. Sucks yes.. and yeah it has 3 blades on the controller

Great Job. Well presented and great knowledge, you know your stuff!!

[@berko79]

I appreciate that! Thanks for wartching!

[@thesurvivalist.]

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! I do not know what version this blue panel is, there must be at least 3, because I can not get into many setting or the advanced setting, the option never showed up.. It looks like yours.

[@vasko966]

Hi, I have the same unit and in Automatic, when I set the desired temperature, the heater won't stop when it reaches the temperature? The unit is in the room (i guess it is the thermostat) but what can I do ?

[@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?

[@scottyb6765]

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

[@berko79]

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

[@nickabel8279]

What type of distance are ppl getting with these remotes?

[@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!

[@PaddyHenderson-x3c]

all sorted now thanks, bloody awesum thanks

[@jimgresham5529]

How do you change the elevation setting ? Please !

[@mareka7]

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.

[@wayall73]

Yep very helpful, unfortunately after 1 use it seems I need to replace the glow plug on mine!

[@berko79]

press down on the remote or the controller, as the hz lowers so does the fan. If yours doesnt I suspect you have issues with your heater.

[@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.

[@jaronparenteau9111]

Is the heater supposed to shut of When it reaches a temp it chasing

[@berko79]

No it will just slow down... It never switches off unless you turn it off. It's a bit weird but maybe to save on too many start ups which use a lot of current?

[@jaronparenteau9111]

@@berko79 cool thanks a lot. Very helpful

[@mathewaz1507]

So it is believed that it is thermostat regulated, but does not stop blowing heat. Does it ever exceed the temperature it's set at?

[@berko79]

Yes it can, they are not great at regulating temp. Also a good reason not to just buy the biggest one. In lots of smaller spaces a 2kw version is a better option.

[@carlospalacios7729]

Thanks buddy. Very, very helpful your explanation.

[@trinibobfjr]

How do you pair the remote control? I have a new or a extra control panel, but only one remote.

[@berko79]

You press the On and OK until it says connecting on the remote then hold the right arrow down and it will connect. The issue is i'm pretty sure you can only have one remote connected at a time so you may need to do this every use of the heater if you are sharing a remote with 2 heaters.

[@adelaptak9301]

what is the lowest pump freqquency you can set in service mode? is that 0,8HZ?

[@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

[@berko79]

yeah this is one of the downsides of these heaters is it stays on. I simply unplug the screen after the shutdown procedure finishes. I know some other people put a switch on the power line

[@commercialfishingnet2188]

Well I recieved my 5kw I primed it and then press start it sounds like its going but nothing happens, then I get fault code of E3 it says check whether the ignition plug is open or short circuited??? Have no clue what they mean, there's diesel running out of the air intake ??

[@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!

[@UKrissy]

Hi. Where does the controller's 3 pin connector go to?

[@berko79]

Directly into the 3 pin plug which comes out of the heater.

[@UKrissy]

My heater (motherboard) comes with 9 slot/7 pin square connector... not a good fit for the controller's 3 pin triangular plug. I suppose the 3 pin connector may be a part of the extension loom, but not in my case. I now ordered a set of motherboard, wired and remote controllers, maybe this setup will finally work. What a mess 🤦‍♂️

Is possible to turn on just the fan, without the burner?

I dont believe so, even if you unplug the pump it will stop with an error. Something like the afterburner controller might be able to do it

[@koenigseggdubstep9837]

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).

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.

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 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.

hmm that doesnt sound right. They don't actually target set temperature as you would hope/expect. Saying that turning the temp lower usually slows the fan down. I wonder if you maybe have a thermostat issue or something that makes the heater think its very cold and needs to warm things up.

Yes, now there is an aftermarket controller for these heaters that completely kicks ass. It's called the After-burner, and it's made by a guy in Australia.

[@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.

[@kylehowe2698]

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.

Thanks. Great tutorial!

All good, thanks for watching!

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

[@prizzom]

I can’t get the HFA to come up, and the remote isn’t paired. How do I go around that?

[@berko79]

Yeah I did have some issues getting HFA up and cant really work out how i did it. I did start the heater using the wired controller. Also sometimes pushing the buttons at the same time can be tricky, keep persevering and you'll eventually get it to come up.

[@Paultheo1000]

The heater must be off (not running) to pair it

[@prizzom]

@@Paultheo1000 so no fan running and no diesel pumping?

[@kimanderson3530]

Anyone know what error code E-10 means?

[@berko79]

E10 means the heater is trying to start but cant. Did you prime your lines? if not either prime them or run the heater 2 or 3 times until the fuel gets to the heater.

[@guypowers4488]

Well done mate - thank you

[@rolfsliep]

the code (password numbers) that I can come up with myself?

[@berko79]

I dont believe so they usually come with code 1688 or 9009 and cannot be changed as far as i know

[@TheHybridCamperGuy]

Do you know how to switch the remote from C to F???

[@berko79]

Mine can't do F but i have seen some new ones can do it by pushing the down and up arrows together. So maybe try that?

[@TheHybridCamperGuy]

@@berko79 I have the black remote, I tried that. That switches it from auto to manual....or reading temp in Hrz to ambient temp. I got the display switched (I have the blue one) no problem. Ugh. We tried for hours to figure it out.

[@pattasker2428]

HELP ! I had this installed today and was just told to read the instructions; they are worthless ! My battery icon keeps flashing on & off, I can change the temp to F, and I can’t get the bloody thing to work at all. All I can get is the time, I don’t know what number is suppose to be on the icon below the time & timer, and I have an error code E01, I don’t know what the hertz is suppose to be . . . Please someone help me

[@berko79]

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.

[@satellitehunter7440]

Where is the thermostat? In the remote?

[@berko79]

Yeah it's in the remote... Not 100% sure how accurate it is but it seems ok
