- back and flue 18 inch (460
mm)
• Make sure there is enough air for
proper combustion.
• Make sure that the convector
heater has cooled down
sufficiently and that the plug has
been removed from the socket
before carrying out any repair or

2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Purpose
These stationary used oil fired heaters are
direct fired heaters with thermal protection,
heat exchanger, combustion air fan, flue
stack connection with T-piece and draught
regulator and hot air fan.
The AT 500 is equipped with a connection for
a room thermostat
The hot air heaters have been tested at sea
level at a temperature of 68 °F.
2.2 Working principle
The stationary used oil fired heater is
equipped with three electric motors.
The first electric motor drives a fuel pump,
which extracts fuel from the fuel tank.
The second electric motor drives the
combustion air ventilator, which blows the
combustion air into the combustion chamber.
The third electic motor drives the hot air fan,
which draws the surrounding air around the
combustion chamber and heat exchanger.
The hot air is blown into the space to be
heated.
Diesel oil is poured manually on a burner
dish, which is ignited with a burning paper
pellet. As soon as the burner dish is at the
right temperature, the pump thermostat
activates the fuel pump; the control light
flashes on. The fuel pump pumps the used oil
onto the burner dish. The used oil evaporates
due to the temperature of the burner dish.
The gas vapour burns. A thermostat switches
on the hot air fan motor to blow hot air into
the space to be heated.
The pump thermostat switches off the fuel
pump when a failure causes the heater to
overheat.
The fuel pump is switched off when the
heater is switched off.
The hot air ventilator runs until the
combustion air thermostat switches off the
ventilator: this allows the heater to cool down.
The maximum thermostat switches off the
heater when the temperature gets too high.
The fuel supply has an overflow that ensures
that the used oil flows back into the fuel tank
when the fuel pipe is blocked.
The overflow protection switches off the fuel
pump when the burner dish overflows.

When the burner dish is sufficiently pre-
heated, the fuel pump starts up.
• Hot air thermostat:
The thermostat starts the hot air fan
when the heater reaches a certain
temperature.
• Maximum thermostat
The thermostat stops the fuel pump when
the hot air temperature gets too high.

4USE
4.1 During operation
4.2 Switching off
Switch off heating:
1. Switch the rocker switch to "0".
The fuel pump stops running.
The control light turns off.
Warning
• Never pour diesel oil onto a hot
burner dish. The burner dish
must be cool and clean!
• Do not start the heater if the fan
still runs. The heater is cooling
down.
• Do not start the heater if excess
oil has accumulated in or near
the heater.
Caution
Do not switch on the convector
heater if there is no fuel, or if the
connected fuel tank is empty.
Caution
Only the following oil types may be
used in the stationary used oil fired
heaters:
• Automatic transmission oil
• Crankcase oil
• Diesel oil
• Hydraulic oil
• Domestic fuel oil
Caution
• Do not operate the heater in hot
weather to burn oil.
• Do not burn used oils other than
generated on the premiss of the
owner, unless written
authorization is obtainedfrom the
regulatory authority.
Hot
Do not touch the flue stack or blower
outlet! The flue stack and blower
outlet get hot during operation!
Caution
After switching off the heater it will
run for several minutes, until the fuel
on the burner dish is used up. In the
meantime the hot air fan and the
distributor fan keep running. These
fans cool the heater until it has
sufficiently cooled down (after 10 to
30 minutes).
Both fans will stop around the same
time.
