CAN-bus connections:
1. Parallel connection. Is used to control the climtic system when fitting the module to
vehicles equipped with factory heaters. CAN1 is used for parallel connection in all vehicles.
2. Serial connection. Is used to control the climatic system when fitting the module to
vehicles equipped with a factory or an aftermarket heaters.

• When connecting the module to the vehicle’s CAN-bus in series, CAN2 or CAN3 (depends
on a vehicle) is connected to the side of the vehicle’s CAN-bus which is directly
connected to the climate control unit. CAN 1 is connected to the side of the vehicle’s
CAN-bus which is pointed in the opposite direction.
• The installation manuals are available at www.tecel.ru/en/
Installing and adjusting the external temperature sensors
The operating algorithms of the module depend on the engine temperature, interior temperature
and the ambient temperature. This data is analyzed and is used by the module to start an engine
heater by temperature, to operate an aftermarket engine heater in the auxiliary heating mode; to
display this information in the mobile app and inform users via calls or SMS.
The module is able to receive the temperature data:
1. Form the vehicle’s CAN-bus — only when the ignition is turned on.
2. From the engine heater temperature sensor — only when the heater is running and if the
module controls the heater via the digital data bus.
3. From the external temperature sensor — this sensor transmits data regardless of the igition
status or the engine heater status.
Before tting the module to a vehicle we recommend to clarify:
1. Wheather the module is able to receive the temperature data from the CAN-bus of a certain vehicle.
2. Whether the owner of the vehicle is planning to use the heater in the auxiliary heating mode.
To implement this feature, the module needs data on the outside temperature which can be
received from the CAN-bus and from the external temperature sensor.
3. Whether the owner prefers that the heater would automatically shutdown when the
engine temperature reaches a certain value and the climatic system would automatically
be activated by a certain engine temperature too. The module must receive the engine
temperature while the vehicle’s ignition is off in order to activate these operating modes. The
module is able to get this data from the heater if connected to it via the W-bus digital bus.
4. Whether the owner would like to overview the engine temperature at all times independantly
from the engine or heater state.
You have to decide whether it is necessary or not to install the external sensors keeping in
mind the vehicles make, model and the owner’s wishes and preferences.
Setup
The module can be connected to a PC via a micro USB cable (gure 3) in order to update the
rmware, setup a vehicle model, activate the auxiliary heating mode, adjust the operating time
and etc. All these adjustments are performed in the TECprog software (available for download at
www.tecel.ru/en/). Likewise, the module can be adjusted by using the built-in programming/reset
button (hereinafter-PB).

Vehicle identication
All vehicles compatible by the device are devided into special groups and subgroups. Each
vehicle has its own group and subgroup. Interfacing the module with a vehicle means programming
a vehicle group and subgroup. A group and subgroup can be easily programmed in TECprog or
using the programming button of the device.
Interfacing a vehicle manually by using the PB:
The CAN bus shouldn’t be connected before the vehicle identication is complete.
1. Connect the module to power, wait until the green LED starts flashing shortly .
2. Press the PB 4 times, the green LED will flash 4 times (will indicate the group/subgroup if it
was programmed) and will light up.
3. Enter a group number. Press the PB the number of times corresponding to the group number.
After a short pause (1.5 sec) the LED will indicate the entered group number.
4. Enter the subgroup number by pressing the PB the required number of times. After a short
pause (1.5 sec) the LED will indicate the entered subgroup number.
5. After a short pause (approximately 4 seconds) the green LED will indicate the entered group
and subgroup number.
If the group is a two digit number — enter the rst digit, wait for indication, then enter the
second digit — wait for indication.
Make sure you entered the vehicle model correctly by counting the LED flashes (group — pause;
subgroup — pause).
• press the PB one time if everything is correct, the green LED will flash 4 times;
• press the PB 2 times if incorrect, The green LED will light up fro 15 sec. After that you can repeat
programming the vehicle group and subgroup.

1 — Heater operation (status).
The output generates a constant level signal
while an engine heater is running (If it is activated
with FanControl).
2 — Control of a recirculating pump.
The output generates a constant level signal
while the engine heater is running and within
2 minutes after the heater is deactivated. The
signal is formed if the heater was activated by
FanControl.
3 — Interior ventilation running (status).
The output generates a constant level signal
while the interior ventilation is running (If the
heater was activated by FanControl).
4 — Ignition imitation.
The output generates a pulse signal during 5 sec.
The output stops generating the signal earlier if
the FanControl module detects that the ignition
has been turned OFF or the heater has shutdown.
5 — PTC air heaters control.
The output generates a constant level signal if
the engine heater is running. The output stops
generating the signal after the engine heater
is turned OFF. The output doesn’t generate
any signal if the auxiliary heating mode was
activated.
6 — Cooling system circuit switching valve
control.
The output generates a constant level signal
after turning ON the engine heater. The output
stops generating the signal in 20 minutes after
the engine heater is turned off. If the engine is
started before 20 minutes expire – the signal will
vanish in 5 minutes. If the engine has been shut
down before 5 minutes expire – the module will
continue generating the signal for 20 minutes.

Programming sequence
1. Select a required option and press the PB the number of times corresponding to the «Menu
code» in the Table 5. The green LED will inform about the current option value.
2. To change the option value, press the PB the number of times required to advance from the
current value to a desired one. Keep in mind that after the last value of an option goes the
very first one.
The module automatically exits the programming mode and saves all settings in a nonvolatile
memory if the ignition is turned OFF or the programming button is not pressed during 15 seconds.
The green LED fleshes 4 times if the settings are saved successfully; 1 long LED flash means an
error.
Resetting to default values
There is a special procedure designed to reset the module to default settings. After resetting the
module, the non-volatile memory of the FanControl module is cleared of all non-default values.
To reset the module:
1. Disconnect the module from power source and CAN-bus.
2. Press and hold the PB;
3. Holding the PB pressed, supply power to the module (CAN bus should not be connected);
Wait for short LED flashes;
4. Disconnect the module from power, release the PB.
