Swing Open Side Access Doors
Access to Heater Discharges
Heater discharge doors have safety interlock switches
and each door must be open in order for the respective
heater to operate.

Heaters are mounted onto poly lined slides rails permitting slide outaccess for service or complete removal from
enclosure.
IDH500QR heaters can slide out toward the burner end only and IDF500HS heaters can slide out from both the burner
end or the air discharge end.
Illustration of "Lock Bolts" which secure slide rails in locked position. These must be removed in order to slide heaters)into service position

Heater travel is limited by "slide limit stop bolts". The heaters canbe completely
removed from the enclosure by unfastening the slide limit safety stop bolt.
Note: IDH models slide-out from the burner side of the trailer only

Rear Compartment Power Distribution and Controls
Control functions for both Kubota &Isuzu engine versions are similar.
Individual Circuit Breakers for main supply power and each heater and the auxiliary power receptacle.
Fuel gauge shows fuel level when engine is running or keyswitch is in accessory position.
PPower meter indicates volt, amp, kilowatts or HZ (selectable))when generator is running.

DISPLAY SCREEN
INDICATES SUPPLY VOLTAGE, TOTAL AMPS, TOTAL WATTS OR LINE FEQUENCY
INDICATOR LIGHTS
ILLUMINATES TO SHOW WHAT IS BEING MEASURED & DISPLAYED
SELECTOR BUTTON
ALLOWS USER TO SELECT WHAT VALUE TO READ OR CAN BE SET TO SCROLL
Momentarily pressing "SEL" button each time will cycle the display to the next measurement.
Holding the "SEL" button for 3 seconds will set the meter to
continuously cycle through each measurement and display them
for 3 seconds.
The meter can also be configured to always display the desired specific measurement such
as amps or watts each time the heater is powered up. This is accomplished by setting the meter to
the desired measurement reading and leaving it to display that reading without touching the "SEL"
button for at least 60 seconds. Then each time the unit is powered up it will display that
measurement.
POWER METER
NOTE:
DISPLAY MAY INDICATE A RUNNING FEQUENCY ABOVE 60 HZ. (62HZ-65HZ).
THIS IS NORMAL TO ALLOW FOR ENGINE SPEED DROOP OF THE GOVENOR AND
PREVENT THE FRQUENCY FROM DROPPING BELOW 60 HZ. WITH FULL ENGINE LOADS.

Compartment Lighting Timers
• Compartment lighting iscontrolled with a programmable PLCLC
control activated with the momentary pushbutton on the panel.
This prevents unwanted battery drain from constant unattended
operation of the lights.
• The PLC has two pre-programmed timing periods of 3 minutes or
20 minutes depending on the lighting duration desired. Selecting
the desired lighting times is described on page 12.
• The PLC is located under the front control panel and has a display
screen that can be used for operation information, troubleshooting
and programming.
• The control also has a 6 pin receptacle on the exterior left rear
of the control panel that is designed for connection to an optional
Frost Fighter roof beacon. This beacon can be used to display
operational status and alerts for low fuel levels.

Startingthe diesel engine
Turn key-switch on LOFA control from
“OFF” to “RUN” position.
LOFA control shown with key-switch placed in “RUN” position which
illuminates the indicator lights & activatesthe fuel gauge.
The electric fuel pump for priming will operate for approx. 10 seconds. Turn
the key-switch to "OFF" & then back to "RUN" reactivates electric fuel pump
for additional 10 sec. if extended priming is required or engine fails to start.
After a few seconds with the key-switch
in the "RUN" position the lower indicator
lights will go off.
Engine preheating is shown by the
illuminated “PREHEAT” indicator light
and will remain on until preheating is
complete.
IMPORTANT:DO NOT STOP THE ENGINE/GENERATOR UNTIL BOTH HEATERS HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN FIRST AND HAVE
COMPLETED THEIR COOL DOWN AND THE FANS HAVE STOPPED.
Page 16
To stop the engine move key-switch to the
"OFF" position
When the“PREHEAT” indicator light goes off
move the key-switch to "START" and release
once engine starts.
If the engine starts but fails to run or it fails to
start then repeat this process.
