Operation Instructions – LCD Heater Control Panel

1. General
The control panel offers two control modes plus timed on/off control and monitoring of various
heater functions.

A custom LCD panel provides visualisation of the status of the heater and five push-buttons allow
control parameters to be displayed and the three levels of settings to be adjusted. The same
controls are available in two different housings, old black and new blue type. There is no difference
in operation, but the arrows point in different directions!

Thanks Ulrik Kautsky for the confirmation & the pic. Text is mostly updated to say “arrow keys”, and
new unit difference is shown in Blue

2. Basic Operation
The unit is fully automatic – initial setup can be as simple as powering-up and pressing the on-off
key, marked something like this Φ.

There are two principal control modes – Temperature control mode and Heat (Fuel) Pulse control mode.

In Temperature control mode, the device automatically generates the maximum heat until the set temperature is exceeded, after which the
heat output will be reduced to maintain the temperature.
In Heat control mode the user sets the frequency of fuel pump pulses – the higher the number the more fuel is burned, the more heat is
generated. The heater will adjust the fan speed automatically to maintain an acceptable outlet temperature

To select between these modes, press the * and ^ keys (old model) or * and < (new model) together.
If you see P- and some numbers than you have selected Heat mode. Press the same two keys again to return to Temperature mode.

In Heat Control mode the Target Temperature display will be replaced by P- and a number, which is the pump pulse frequency. (Hz – Herts,
pulses per second) Each pulse delivers a fixed amount of fuel to the burner – more pulses give more fuel of course.

Temperature setting OR Fuel Pulse frequency can be changed using the arrow keys (top and bottom right-hand side) depending on which
mode is currently in use. Changes are actioned immediately.

Display Function
The OK key (lower left) cycles the display through:
Time -> Ambient Temperature -> Target Temperature -> Supply Voltage -> Fault History -> Time

Remote keyfob Pairing (optional)

A compatible remote keyfob may be matched to the controller using this simple procedure. Press ^ or < and then OK. Hold down for 3
seconds until the display shows HFA. Operate a remote unit key and observe the blue communication symbol on the display. On successful
pairing the unit will restart. The remote unit keys will activate ON, OFF, and arrow keys It is not essential to use a remote keyfob.

3. Settings
See above, the Temperature / Heat setting is made from the main menu. The gear wheel * key gives access to two further levels of
settings.The OK key scrolls through: Time of Day (clockface) -> ON/OFF Timer (alarm clock) -> Advanced Settings (- - - - )

Time of Day
To set time of day, pause at the clockface and press the OK key (lower left). Note the first time-digit is flashing. Press arrow keys to select the
correct number, then OK to move to the next digit. Repeat this until the display shows the correct 24h time. 12h display is not supported.
After the final setting, the selection will move on to the Timer Settings (alarm clock symbol).

Timer Operation
This device supports two time-settings, each of which has an on and off time. To enable a timer, use the arrow keys to change from 1-OF to 1-
ON and / or 2-OF to 2-ON, and press OK. Note that here you are only enabling the timer. The actual time setting follows, after the timer is set
to -ON. The ON and OFF times are set using arrow keys and OK digit-by-digit as described above for the time of day setting. There’s no
confirmation as to which setting (on or off) is currently in process – on comes first followed by off, like this:

1-OF -> 2-OF -> (next setting)

1-ON -> HH-MM (on-1) -> HH-MM (off-1) -> 2-OF -> (next setting)
1-ON -> HH-MM (on-1) -> HH-MM (on-1) -> HH-MM (off-1) 2-ON -> HH-MM (on-2) -> HH-MM (off-2) (next setting)

On exiting this setting, the alarm clock will be lit showing that a timer setting is active. Settings are one-shot and will cancel after one
activation and must be reset for another operation. You can’t therefore set a repeating on-time each day.

Neither time of day nor timer operation is essential for operation of the heater.
4. Advanced Settings
The advanced settings control the operating parameters of the heater (as opposed to the user requirements).
Access to the advanced settings are protected by a 4-digit PIN code.

The PIN code is entered digit-by digit in a similar way to the time entry. The four dashes representing the code will flash until set. The digits of
the PIN number are only displayed during setting, each digit being hidden (shown as a steady dash) once set. When all four digits are correctly
set, the controller will move on to the first of the advanced settings. Common default PIN codes are: 1688 9009.

Manual Fuel Pump operation

The facility is provided to run the pump alone (without the heater or fan) This is to allow priming of the pump after draining. Note that the
fuel will pass into the combustion chamber and exhaust system, where it may accumulate and cause much smoke when the heater is next
used. Avoid excessive use of the manual pump!

The display will initially show H-OF – meaning pump off. The ^ / < key will change this to H-ON, the green pump icon will light up and the
pump will begin pulsing. To turn off, press v />

Press OK to move on to the next setting

Fan Speed Limits

During normal operation, the fan speed adjusts automatically. These settings allow the minimum and maximum fan speed to be selected,
which limits the range of the automatic function. This could be used for example to force quieter operation, or to optimise burn (with an
emission analyser) There are limits on the available maximum and minimum speed settings, which cannot be overridden.

The min and max speeds are set in that order in the same way as the time settings, one digit at a time using arrow keys and OK. After the
speeds are set, the controller moves on to the next setting

System Voltage Setting

Although the controller is designed to operate at both 12V or 24V DC, according to this setting, the heaters themselves are EITHER 12V OR
24V. The controller will not operate the heater if the battery voltage is too high or too low, so if the voltage setting is incorrect, the heater will
not operate until the setting matches the supplied voltage. To reiterate, changing the controller setting will not alter the operating voltage of
the heater. Power must be supplied at the correct voltage for the heater and the controller must be set to match. If the correct voltage is
being supplied and the battery icon is flashing, with either E-01 or E-02 displayed then it is possible that the controller is incorrectly set.

IMPORTANT - Check the actual heater voltage (sticker on the heater body) before adjusting the control setting.

On entering this setting, the screen shows either U-12 or U-24 and can be changed using the arrow keys. The setting will be applied
immediately the OK key is pressed, and the controller will move on to the next setting.

Speed Sensor Type

There are two configurations of fan speed sensor on the heaters which can be controlled by these displays. Select one or the other according
to the sensor type fitted. The original instructions say that if this is set incorrectly then the fan speed is doubled. As ever, select using arrow
keys and press OK. It seems that different sensors are used, some with 1 and some with 2 magnets – speed could also be halved I guess!

PIN code Change

It is not necessary to change the PIN code, but if desired a new number can be entered, once again using arrow keys and pressing OK. Take
care to remember any new code!

NOTE – the settings menu at both levels will time out and the controller return to basic operation mode. The settings already confirmed will
have been saved, but the currently active setting will NOT be actioned or memorised. Thus, the parameter setting may simply be abandoned
without the remaining settings or any previous settings being affected.
