Paraffin / kerosene / petrole inverter heater: CO2 sensor repair (error)

[@kennymaus1961]

I just fixed it following your second step only behind the mainboard successfully (the first step with S1 with beside path failed), thank you very much because I have wanted to fix it for a month now after watching many other KZbinrs but couldn't, and unique your show off was the best way 🥰😍👍

[@EngineTuning]

Nice job :D

[@geertteck8181]

Thank you so much ! I have an Inverter from Kero, with constant false CO2 alarm. Put it apart several times, switched from several brands of fuel, nothing solved the problem, exept...recalibrating it with the paperclip. Simple as that !!! Works like new, so happy !

[@EngineTuning]

Nice !

[@markshaw7780]

Thanks for this video mate, followed every step and after not working properly for months finally works non stop. Saved us getting a new one. Thanks again for the clear and easy instructions!!

[@EngineTuning]

Great feedback Mark... that makes it all worthwhile :)

[@sdapeze]

Thanks for this. The detector panel on mine was made in Sweden. I took it apart and followed the instructions. The paper clip didn't work. I put it in the oven at 60 degrees and left it for an hour. Then I put it back into the heater, with the paper clip connected. Tried it again, first with the paper clip and then without. Bingo. It now works like new. Many thanks from Carcassonne in France.

[@hicksx9934]

Super, même s'il est vrai que la traduction est moyenne ;) Pour les Français, je vous explique ce qu'il faut faire. Votre poêle affiche CO2, pas de soucis, enlevé le capot, déclipsé le module CO2 en bas à droite, faire un pont avec un trombone sur les trous du S1, allumer est compter 10 clignotement (perso j'ai en laisser 12), mettre sur off, déponter le trombonne, rallumer. A ce moment là votre capteur CO2 est recalibrer. si cela n'as pas fonctionner, deux solutions, soit le trombone n'as pas fait contact entre les deux borne des trous du S1, soit il faut passer le module au four à 60° (ce qui permet de refaire les micro-soudures comme en informatique) et recommencer l'étape pont. Si cela ne fonctionne pas, vous pouvez faire un pont entre les files bleu et gris mais attention car vous n'aurez plus de detecteur de CO2 = risque de mort. Personnellement la première a fonctionner pour moi. Encore merci, mon poêle fonctionne à nouveau !!! Good job Engine Tuning ;)

[@EngineTuning]

Place the heater in a small room. Close all ventilation. Start the heater. ... At some point, it should switch off, with a CO2 error code.

[@tofts1]

Have u ever done a video on a paraffin inverter heater which deals with the flame flashing orange, combusting, and thermostat cutting in?

[@EngineTuning]

No, not specifically. I presume that it's moisture that causes the flicker of orange. Add 0.5% Acetone to each fresh tank of fuel. This breaks the surface tension of liquids, including water, and all liquid fuels. This enables the fuel to be better atomised (rather than droplets), ensuring superior combustion, and greater heat output. You can even turn the heater down, and still get blue flames. Acetone saves you a substantial sum of money, and likely eliminates 'cleaning strip-downs', or certainly prolongs the period between services.

[@mutleyeng]

thanks, i was confused a bit there - was wondering why it had a co2 sensor when my inverter has a CO sensor. Don't those things have a service life anyways? so at some point its gonna need bypassing and use a stand alone sensor to monitor

[@giancarloantona6343]

Fantastik.tanks ...bravo

[@NewWorldHoarder]

New issue for me, and you seem to be the only person who knows your way round these heaters. wife said she turned it on, it ignited and ran for a short while then stopped, and the screen was blank (as if no power). I went to have a look, the heater appears dead (socket checked and was ok) and the heater casing was noticeably very hot! I’m waiting for it to cool down and have another look, but I’m guessing it went haywire and overheated, tripping something?? Any ideas gratefully appreciated. 🙏

[@EngineTuning]

Check the mother board, where the mains supply is transformed - there should be a fuse, and there may be more than one. If the fuses are good, and the panel remains blank, then an electric component has failed. Re the heat ... check the air intake grill, and make sure everything is clean. Also ensure that it is not too close to a wall etc. Good luck :)

[@robertgolding5398]

excellent video. only one thing, its a CO (carbon monoxide ) sensor not a co 2 (carbon dioxide ) sensor. a lot of people confuse to 2. CO will kill you. co2 wont, well not straight away anyway. you need a CO alarm not a co2 alarm.

[@EngineTuning]

You can buy both. The heater detector is a CO2 detector. As the fuel burns, the oxygen is consumed and CO2 levels rise ... hence the need for ventilation. :)

[@elvinhaak]

@@EngineTuning Yes, but the CO2 will not kill you. You are breathing CO2 out like everything that is burning. But I'm wondering if it is really a CO2 detector that is inside the heater (it can though of course),because if it is much there is probably less oxigen in the air and that could make it produce CO later, so a kind of 'pre-warning'-system?

[@EngineTuning]

Yes, it's a warning system to indicate too much CO2 to oxygen :)

Dear Sir, Thank you für explanations. My kanzai mostly does not react when I press the start button - the start sequence does not start. Do you have any ideas? Thank you

It sounds like 'lack of power supply'. If you can use a multimeter, you first need to check fuses, then mains power in at the transformer, and the out voltage. Good luck! :)

[@ianm3909]

Hi, my Ruby sre 300 which is almost identical to the one in your video and has a problem in that when I start in normal 'auto' mode in fires up then switches off after a few seconds with the alarm sound and showing the error - E1 or E2. To get it to start and keep going I have to press the MIN button on the power select before it fires up and only then does it work. I have stripped the machine and cleaned everything including fresh fuel. Any thoughts on what the problem might be? Thanks.

[@EngineTuning]

Hi Ian. Just to confirm ... you have cleaned the unit as per playlist : kzbin.info/aero/PLeHV-kNBKNNfEtkx0cTb-mbtelhpNOPFa In particular: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHSQZmlrbK9_nrc kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnzTq4N5gdObq9k The error codes indicate contaminated fuel or flame rod problem. It is feasible there could have been water build up in the fixed fuel reservoir. The flame rod itself could be failing. If you can get the heater to start ... I would buy a can of highest grade fuel (C1) - sold in containers often with a picture of an indoor portable heater (kzbin.info/www/bejne/moPQo3iFd9h4etk). Run the heater for a few hours at its maximum temperature. This high grade fuel will help dissolve any older sticky residues, and its increased volatility will create a hotter combustion chamber (which in itself can be self-cleaning). Make sure that the room is well ventilated. In this way, the heater may resolve its problems. Good luck! Let us know how you got on ;)

[@ianm3909]

@@EngineTuning Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I have watched the playlist and followed your instruction. I made sure everything was spotless but the error appears when starting from cold. Also, if I try and increase the temperature after the heater has been run for some time occasionally the machine cuts off as it tries to increase the heat output. Is there a temperature sensor that needs investigating? Thanks again.

[@EngineTuning]

If you have cleaned the combustion chamber and flame rod, and you are using highly refined fuel ... normally all problems are solved (I think, in all cases reported here). It is possible that the flame rod is failing, or the temp sensor, but we are in a grey area. Honestly, it is difficult to say what the problem might be.

hI, Thanks for the great inverter/laser paraffin videos. I have a Zibro/Toyotomi lc32 - been great with no maintenance for 4 years, apart from the co2 fault e11, which comes on earlier and earlier, and now after a couple of minutes. Today, with your video guides, i stripped the thing down, cleaned the burner and flame sensor (which were'nt dirty/carbonised at all). Worst was the gunge in the internal fuel tank, horrible slimy black gunge under the oil which i poured out. Located the co2 sensor - it's on the back, lower rh side, under a plastic cover, slightly different to yours in this video. Got pictures but don't know how to post them yet. The wires to it are white, black, red blue. There's no s1 and s2 marked, so can't reset it as you described. Any ideas how i can reset this particular sensor? Failing that, any idea which two wires to short to effectively disable the sensor and get rid of the self-shutdown due to lack or ventilation (e 11)? Many thanks. The house is getting cold!

[@EngineTuning]

Hi Jay I can't help with the specifics :( They are all sort of the same, so you need to settle down to the task, and take a view on the problem. Half the problem is that you had hope that I could direct you. Once that hope is dispelled, then you are free ... it's the best place to be ;) :)

[@jayswaff4120]

@@EngineTuning Well thanks anyhow. I think a better place for me would be if I had a solution to my particular co2 sensor problem! It's not that I haven't tried - been on this for 6 months now. For some reason, the lc32 model doesn't figure in any youtube videos, certainly to the servicing level or circuit diagrams. It's so frustrating - the co2 module (and the whole heater) seems to be extremely similar to yours, but has a different 'arch' and no s1, s2 'holes'. Just one further question if I may - if I randomly play around shorting the co2 interface wires (in the hope to stop it reporting an erroneous error) is it likely I'd damage the electronics (or myself)? I assume it's all low voltage. If anyone reading has solved this for the lc32 (as sold by amazon,ebay etc, plenty must own one i would think) i'd appreciate some help.

[@EngineTuning]

​@@jayswaff4120 It is highly likely that the cable positions will be the same as on the video. Examine the circuits and compare to mine at say kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpuremlvoa6WrtE kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpuremlvoa6WrtE follow the cables. If it is as mine, there will be 3 wires. These will be live, return, and signal - red, blue, grey in unknown order Connecting the grey to neutral drops the signal to 0V from a higher voltage, OR blue is the live (unusual but hey) and lifts the signal from 0V to a higher voltage. Ie. it is a binary switch - high voltage or zero voltage is seen on the motherboard, causing it to stop the system, or allow it to run. From this, you can appreciate the need to meter (DC volts) the cables to earth, when disconnected from the sensor. The most important is to find the cable that is live (powering the sensor) Then you can connect the other two cables. Good luck, and don't rush it :)

[@jayswaff4120]

@@EngineTuning Well problem solved, mainly through trial and error. So here's the co2 solution for a lcdx320 (which is very similar to the lc32 it was sold to me as) which i hope may help others. The co2 sensor is connected to the motherboard by a 6 pin connector with 4 wires connected. Disconnect the connector (and don't reconnect it later) and short out the two right hand pins. This takes away the co2 error and 'ventilate' message and the beeping for this error. All trial and error, so no idea of any other consequences, but it's be going fine for a week now. Thanks for the pointers engine tuning. I think even without a co2 sensor, the heater is still safe due to the flame monitoring, but nevertheless, I'm careful to well ventilate the room.

[@EngineTuning]

@@jayswaff4120 That is truly great news Jay :) What you have shown is that 'knowing it can be done' needs to be matched to a firm decision 'to accept the challenge', followed by 'thoughtful action'. Clearly, in technical matters, some basic understanding is required (in order to know where to start). Once you have that basic understanding, one's good brain can figure it out, if it is allowed the time to do so. This is why you can't rush these problems ;) Hahaha! What a victory! ... and you can justifiably walk taller now. This work will continue to pay dividends throughout your life... Victory is sweet :)

Buy some Acetone. It is cheapest, the more you buy. In France I paid €15 for 5 litres. This is enough to treat 500 litres of fuel oil (3 cents per litre) Add 50ml of Acetone to the 5lt reservoir (1%) For this first time only ... add 5ml to the fixed reservoir, and stir it in. There is a good chance that this will fix the problem. Also, the heater will run hotter and burn less fuel - therefore it will not cost you, in fact you will save money. Run the heater at maximum temperature for a couple of hours. You can then lower the temperature to suit your needs. It may take around 4 - 6 hours to return to full normality. Thereafter, always add 50ml of Acetone for each new tank of fuel. BTW This fix has already worked for robyne smith See the comment thread here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHSQZmlrbK9_nrc

Hi I have been watching your videos regarding the paraffin heaters with great interest. I had a power failure and several of my heaters that were running at the time now refuse even to show the temperature or any other signs of life. I have checked the fuses, they are fine, I can not find a wiring diagram on line and I am at a loss to know how to proceed. Can you offer any help. Thanks

[@EngineTuning]

That sounds like very bad news Anthony. The fact is that we live our lives believing that everything is under strict control. However, many elements have lesser degrees of control. Electrical supply is in that latter bracket. Fuse designers do their best, and certainly, some countries have better electrical infrastructure than others. The problem may be due to 'a perfect storm' of circumstances. A power failure can create a supply spike. This can defeat conventional spike defence norms. Additional protection can be purchased quite cheaply. Most people use it for their TV's and computers, but clearly, it is also required for the heater motherboards. Fuses are rated by their reaction time. If over-current occurs, then a fast acting fuse melts before too much excess current has passed through it. If you experienced a spike of really high, yet short duration, the fuse might have got hot, but never melted. ... though further down the line, there were components more susceptible to the peak temperature (than the fuse). This is why the fuse must always be weaker than the weakest component downstream. The fuse must be the weakest link. But if too weak, it will continually trip. The designer looks at the typical scenario - say perhaps, a longer duration, lower peak. It sounds like you were unlucky, or the designers got it wrong. ... particularly as you state that more than one heater was fried. Using the same components... if one went bang... then why not the others? Boom! ... or more likely; no sound whatsoever. Simply, component failure. >>>>> You really need to provide more info. What country? How many heaters in total (in use)? How many of those were fried? Talk to the supplier. Ask if they have a spare 'test' motherboard. Swap it with one failed heater. If it works, then order new motherboards. Shit happens... Good luck :)

[@anthonyblythin7297]

Hi, I have tracked the problem to the transformer. I live in northwest France and often experience fluctuations in voltage. I'm not sure if this one was the result of lightening but it took out 5 heaters. I have found a motherboard replacement here in France at 225€, I can currently by a new heater on offer at 179€!!!! I am searching for a replacement transformer but with no luck.

[@EngineTuning]

Ah yes - France. Sadly, France is subject to many supply fluctuations, particularly when it rains :( The replacement m/board cost is ridiculous... sorry to hear that. Because you have lost 5 heaters... probably with the same component failing in each, you need to be certain that each heater does have the same failed component. Do remember that electrical components cost pennies. Even transformers are very cheap. This kit is knocked out by the millions. If a single specific component has failed... that specific component can be changed. Even on the motherboard, you could hope that a replacement could be soldered in place. You sometimes see this on m/boards, where a big old fashioned component is soldered in place to replace the original micro component. Re the transformer. This will simply transform 230V AC down to the system voltage. Therefore any transformer to that spec will do. You may need a local electronics technician. (I'm too far away from you) They don't work with original part numbers. They work with standard 'off the shelf' components. In fact they usually have all the replacement components, other than micro-chips. If you can find one locally; that would be great He'll suss out the problem easily. If you have tied it down to the transformer. It can be de-soldered and replaced. Just be certain that you check the circuit from Primary IN through Secondary OUT. If you have a heater that is working - check the mains supply in, and the transformed voltage out (at the output pins). If you have mains supply in, and nothing coming out, then yes... the transformer has been fried. Otherwise, have a good look for fuses. I'm just wondering whether your spike could have melted the transformer coils. OVERALL You can forget about complete m/boards (obviously). Simply follow the electricity path, and find the failed component. Then change that component. If you can do it yourself, it will cost you very little x 5. You may need a solder sucker. It's a tool that sucks the solder when it has been melted. www.ebay.co.uk/p/Metal-Solder-Sucker-Silverline-633609-185mm-Extractor/12003303625?iid=231879756759 €3 is fine. Hey... if it is the transformer, and you can't find one with the same pin dimensions... You can use any same spec transformer, and solder wires to the secondary pins on the m/board. A bit like a laptop with a separate PSU - or find somewhere to mount it in the heater. Good luck.... you can do this :D

[@anthonyblythin7297]

Yes, all 5 have the same fault as I have confirmed by replacing the transformer with one from a working heater and they all miraculously burst into life! I have even found a supplier of replacement transformers (www.sav-pem.EU/5997-transformateur-poele-a-petrole.HTML) but unfortunately they are out of stock!!!

[@EngineTuning]

Nice work Anthony. It looks like you are sorted, but for the need to find another source. One thing is absolutely clear... you must fit surge protectors. They are only a few euros each, for a single plug. You could also fit one in the distribution panel, at the voltage IN. Then all the circuits downstream would have initial protection. However, you'd have to research whether one big one can protect the more delicate circuits. Overall though, your experience has provided valuable information for all visitors to this channel. Thanks for sharing. I'll pin this thread to the top :)

The video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aajWc3V7grOrrbc shows the Qlima Laser Heater to be of similar construction to the one in the video. This means that the only space available, to mount the motherboard is to the right, in front of the portable fuel tank. On most heaters of this type, the sensor is where it is shown on the video.

Hi Antonio. That's a very well presented question (therefore you deserve a good answer)... 1) Age of the heater 2) Overall operational history 3) History just prior to the failure 4) The failure point 5) The errors after failure I would say that for this type of heater (liquid fuel) - it just lacked 'the type of oil being used'. Have a look at this video that I made discussing the different fuel types. kzbin.info/www/bejne/moPQo3iFd9h4etk Based upon how highly refined (is the oil) - there are 2 top home heating grades ... and then lower grades. There are also oils used in engine environments, that might have chemicals added (to help the engines to function correctly) The top grade (British Standard C1) - is the highest refined, and it burns 10% hotter (than C2 grade oil). It burns very cleanly, leaving minimal deposits ... meaning 'reduced maintenance'. You can breathe the fumes in a ventilated room. C2 grade is slightly more viscous, and leaves more physical deposits after burning. It is recommended for heaters with a chimney or flue, that vents the fumes outside. Lots of people use this grade in their portable heaters - it's cheaper, and more easily available. However, the heater will periodically require cleaning - explained here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moPQo3iFd9h4etk Note: C2 grade contains 10% less energy than C1 ... therefore include that, when comparing the cost of the oils. Your Problem ------------------------ Loss of power - E9 This indicates that the 'auto-shut-off' has been activated. My thinking is that the heater was knocked - causing the auto-shut-off (power off). It should be placed on a level surface. Power disconnected, then reconnected, and switched on. Try repeating this, if E9 error code is displayed. The auto-shut-off should reset itself (we hope). EO to E4 are combustion errors. Yours was working fine ... so we are confused. If the error codes persist ... you will need to dismantle the heater, and clean it. That means: The fuel filter, air filter, flame rod, sparker, combustion grill, and all dust The fuel filter video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moPQo3iFd9h4etk Please return and post your report. Thumbs up for each video, and subscribe please. Good luck! :)

why cant they make a model that has an exhaust for the CO² (like a gasboiler),a simple flexible tube at the back like for a portable airco would be suficient,with the option to use the exhaust or not,with a tube you wouldnt have to leave your windows completely open,you just put a wooden frame with a hole for the exhaust in the window opening,and like i have done with my portable airco made a frame wich is insulated

[@EngineTuning]

@@yl1272 My motherboard has no button. You can't recalibrate the sensor, because it wouldn't be practical. Resistance changes with temperature, producing a change in voltage. So for displaying (say) 20 C the chip requires to see a specific voltage. Therefore, if it is actually 20 C, but only 17 C is being displayed, the sensor is sending the wrong voltage. Is the replacement sensor the same spec as the original? If it is, and you are confident that the temperature is wrong, then you should return the sensor, and try another one.

It's very difficult to say, and TBH, you haven't provided the usual info that might help. I presume that this is the first start of the season, getting it ready for winter. Did you drain the old fuel, before starting. Did you start it first time on the best fuel? If you want to check the CO2 sensor, you can bridge the two cables.

So do not start your heater over 28 degrees celsius as it will not run.

hello marstro I have a model 4600 tenki stove, it turns on the fan and the EA error appears, which may be failing. Thank you so much

[@EngineTuning]

Hello Fung Huang :) The error code 'EA' is not documented. This is probably to make you take it to a service center, for repair. However, if you clean the heater, as per my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHSQZmlrbK9_nrc This can eliminate other error codes. Don't forget to clear the dust from the fan inlet. Also, physically check all electrical connections. By moving a connector, a failed connection can be fixed. If this is the first time starting the heater (after storage) ... you must remove all the old fuel from the portable tank, AND the fixed reservoir. Replace the fuel with fresh, highly refined fuel. Be careful of water at the bottom of the new fuel. Ideally you should use a water filter funnel. Good luck! :)

I can only think it might be the main injector pump as i have not tried this yet but this looks a complicated swap which i would prefer not to do... Has anyone an idea what the problem could be. Any help please gratefully received.

[@EngineTuning]

Nice 'job report'. It is clear that you have thought this through, and carried out the testing and maintenance work. However, when troubleshooting a 'new to you' system, it is possible that you overlooked something fairly simple ... it just didn't get included in the work plan. Ha! Let's hope so eh? :) A good method, to overcome this normal occurrence is to restate the problem. By restating the problem, it reopens the mind that has become closed (having completed the tests). The problem is: The fuel is not burning efficiently, due to: a) Insufficient air supply b) Excess fuel supply c) Contaminated fuel You likely knew this; but by forcing yourself to restate the problem, it forces you to think: this is not a problem with the air supply; in fact it must be insufficient air supply (as a potential cause). Similarly; excess fuel supply, not less fuel. Otherwise, it will be contaminated fuel. For the fuel supply; you've cleaned the flame rod and combustion chamber. It is less likely that the pump is suddenly pumping too much fuel, as a blockage would be more common. So put that to one side. Insufficient air. Is the air intake fan working (not the heat blower at the back)? You should be able to hear it. Is the air intake clear? That leaves contaminated fuel. Using your syphon; did you pump out all the old fuel from the fixed reservoir ... and then replace all the old fuel with new, freshly purchased fuel of high quality? Note: Try to get everything out (even using very strong and absorbent paper towels). Remember that the last fluid out will be the water, because it is heavier than fuel oil ;) Tip 1: Add acetone to the fresh fuel @ around 2% mix ... you can drop that to 0.5% to 1% for normal running, to gain a better burn, and more heat, when you turn the heat down. The acetone will mix in with any remaining water in the system, and greatly reduce the droplet size of the injected fuel (superior vaporisation). Tip 2: Be careful when filling the tank with the last fuel in the container, as water is often at the bottom of the container ;) If the container is not see through, then transfer the last bit of fuel to rest in a clear container, and or, use a funnel with a water filter ;) My gamble would be on the fuel, because you probably didn't clean the old fuel out from last year :D It could be the intake fan. Less likely, but you must check. Good luck :)

@@EngineTuning Hello ET Thank you very much for your suggestions and advice. The large fan on the back of the heater is running fine I think. I held a piece of paper against it and it is pulled onto the grill just as it is in on the good heater. So I discounted the fan, also I am sure there would be an error code if the fan was not running. FYI I am not getting any error codes to help me. Also I mentioned previously I swapped over the fuel reservoirs and the good heater has run for several hours on the bad heaters fuel with no problems. I have emptied the fuel and cleaned as well as I could the sump tank but after a refill the problem was still there. So just to make sure I have done this properly I have done it again. This time I have sucked every dreg using a syringe and wiped with tissues and used some alcohol and now left it for over 24 hours in the warm sunshine with the tank out and facing the Sun. I will try some fresh fuel and try again. I am annoyed that this has come out of the blue or should I say orange... Over the years I have had orange flickering before and a good clean of the burner grill and sensor did the trick. I am puzzled that I do not get an error code or the heater shutting down to show it is not happy with things. Normally I figure things out but after dismantling and re assembling several times with no improvement it gets annoying and frustrating. this is why it is now basking in the sun and I am busy typing........

@@bellesurpriseholidaygite8534 Yes. If you check my first reply, you'll see that I stated 'not the heat blower at the back'. The air intake fan will either be to the left of the combustion chamber, or beneath it. You should be able to see the motor attached to an enclosure; within which, is the fan. The air intake can easily be found - it will have a removable grill (probably). The output of the fan may be a rubber hose, but could be part of the enclosure. It feeds the air to the combustion chamber. The motor has a 'hall effect' sensor, to indicate it's rpm. This tells the computer, which in turn adjusts the speed to suit the burn conditions. :)

This could be a ventilation CO2 problem. Is the room small? You said the heater works for an hour or two. This indicates that the heater is fully functional. When you restart the heater; it functions for a few minutes. This is likely because the 'Stop Condition' has not changed. Consider ventilating the room :)

[@EngineTuning]

@@alwafimutaz I don't know, because the heater functions for two hours. If it was overheating, this would have occurred after 30 minutes. The only obvious problem is insufficient ventilation. A window should be left slightly open, to allow some 'CO2 rich' air to escape. This will suck fresh air into the room, if the door to the room is left slightly open. Basically ... the fire consumes oxygen, so raising the CO2 level in the room. The CO2 sensor, constantly measures the CO2 level in the air. If it reaches a trigger point, the heater will switch off and display a ventilation error code. Therefore, there must be some fresh air entering the room, and some 'CO2 rich' air leaving the room. It is possible that the CO2 sensor is too sensitive OR ... It is just doing it's job, by alerting you to too much CO2 in the room. Obviously this is just an educated guess, but I can't think of any other explanation.

*Clearing Errors* We assume that a request for advice, relates to the first start of the season. This means that the heater has been used last year, and then put away during the warm months. Therefore, the heater was working correctly, the last time it was used. Clean the air intake, and the fuel filter. Pump all the old fuel out of the fixed reservoir, into a container. Empty the portable fuel tank into the container. Fill the tank with fresh fuel. If you can buy acetone ... add 1% acetone to the fuel (10ml per Litre). If this doesn't solve the problem, you will need to clean the flame rod (as per the video). For most people, the heater will now function correctly. If not, you will need to find a repair centre, who can check the electronics. If the heater is now working... Each time you refill the fuel, you can add small quantities of the old fuel to the new fuel. Adding 1% acetone, will counter any humidity in the fuel, and make the heater burn hotter and cleaner.

if you turn the heater to the minimom should not make any smoke

[@EngineTuning]

Thanks for the comment :) Sadly, this is not the case when starting the heater. The operating temperature has no effect on the starting procedure. The alloy combustion chamber (fuel well) is heated to ignition temperature, the fuel is injected, and it ignites - with a puff of smoke. I have thought a great deal about this problem. It is primarily related to the temperature of the gas (after the fuel hits the combustion chamber). It may be possible to delay ignition... thus allowing the combustion chamber to heat further. The difficulty will be in modifying the ignition thermostat. If I find the solution... you will see it announced here :)

It is not possible for me to provide a definitive answer. However... An explosion would occur, if you used petrol as the fuel, instead of pétrole. Pétrole is French for paraffin or refined kerosene - a very light oil. Petrol is a highly volatile fuel. It gives off an inflammable gas at room temperature. If petrol was injected into the pre-heated combustion chamber, an explosion would definitely occur when the sparker was activated.

Hello Francisc :) The E2 error indicates possible 'water in the fuel' - reduced combustion. You will need to drain the fixed fuel tank (below the fuel transportable reservoir) Do this, using the plastic pump siphon that you probably have. Pump this fuel into a container, and empty the transportable reservoir also into this container. Replace with fresh fuel. If you can ... add 1 % acetone to the new fuel. This will mix with any remaining water, and will cause the heater to burn cleaner. This acetone mix is highly cost efficient, as you get more heat from the fuel that you burn. Also, it will clean up the combustion chamber. Best wishes, and good luck :)

[@melissamartyn7541]

what does ed mean ?? it won t start and stating this!!!

Hi Melissa ... I have not come across this error code. Consequently, you need to tell me the error circumstances. Is this the first start of the season? When was the heater last used? Are you starting the heater with old fuel? When does the error occur? ... by this I mean : You plug it in, and press the start button ... what happens next (passage of time)? Other than that, you should : - Drain the fuel tank into an empty container - Clean the fuel filter - Using the tube syphon, pump out as much of the old fuel as possible from the fixed fuel tank (beneath the filter) - Refill the fuel tank with newly purchased fuel (the correct grade). .... be careful not to take the water that is often at the bottom of the purchased fuel container. (It could be that you have water in the heater system) Make sure that the heater is level. Try starting the heater repeatedly - start - error -switch off - start etc. (repeat six times) If it finally starts, you can gradually mix the old fuel with the new, each time it needs a refill. You can also buy a litre of acetone, and add 50ml of Acetone to 5 Lt of fuel. This will absorb any water, and the fuel will burn cleaner and hotter (so it pays for itself). You can also buy a funnel with a water filter - check before purchasing that the funnel does not allow water to pass ;) This one should work www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-Tractor-Funnel-with-Water-Separating-Filter-Heavy-Duty-Funnel-OIL-TF/352309765511?

C'est pourquoi je l'ai traduit. Veuillez reconsidérer votre opinion ;)

उपशीर्षक का चयन करने का प्रयास करें। गियर पिनियन पर क्लिक करें। ऑटो-ट्रांसलेट का चयन करें। मुझे उम्मीद है कि यह आपके लिए काम करेगा। upasheershak ka chayan karane ka prayaas karen. giyar piniyan par klik karen. oto-traansalet ka chayan karen. mujhe ummeed hai ki yah aapake lie kaam karega

En français,c'est pas possible????

[@EngineTuning]

+Christelle Gomez Oh Christelle! Comment était la traduction? Est-ce compréhensible? Je passais des heures sur le texte. Je vis en France, et je sais que beaucoup de Français ont cet appareil de chauffage. Donc heureux si la vid vous a aidé.

Or buy a carbon monoxide detector..I had purchased mine for off grid purposes so the electronics are of no use to me

[@EngineTuning]

Not really an 'or' but more of a direct safety requirement ;)

I hate those one cut video's, ...........

[@EngineTuning]

Hahaha ... I know what you mean ... hahaha :) Funnily enough, 3 days ago, James Bowler left a comment that was the direct opposite of yours. You just can't please everyone. For myself, I'm happy enough with it ... at least it is short duration, scraping in at just under 15 minutes. That's pretty damned good for a fairly complex educational video ;) Anyway; thanks for taking the time to make the comment - at least it brings a smile to the face :)

Do you mean CO or CO2? Big difference! CO2 highly unlikely to kill you!!! Carbon Monoxide or CO is very different!

[@thetechgenie7374]

codprawn That actually a CO2 dioxide sensor and a NDIR “nondispersive infrared” sensor. That arc looking plastic is the light guide for the infrared sensor. CO monoxide is only a issue on a non complete cycle of combustion, which is really not a issue with these type of heaters It is the high level of CO2 carbon dioxide you have to worry about and water vapor. You need a good CO2 meter that has NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) waveguide technology to test. You know if CO2 levels are high if you get headaches. Easy to solve with proper ventilation. You get carbon monoxide from incomplete combustion." Plus most these heater will shut down due to lack of oxygen. A lot more that most get confused. Yes CO monoxide can die from poisoning and Asphyxiation.

[@ol6374]

Actually c02 will kill faster than co.

[@thetechgenie7374]

@@ol6374 No it backwards a small amount of PPM of CO monoxide will kill you faster.

[@codprawn]

Stop talking rubbish. You need 40,000ppm of CO2 to kill you compared to 800ppm for CO.
