Information about the device
Device description
The indirectly fired oil heater serves to heat room air to achieve
faster heating of large rooms.
The device is to be operated exclusively with kerosene or diesel
fuel (10% biodiesel maximum) with the following specifications:
10,200 kcal/kg, max. viscosity1.5°E at 20°C.
It is an device with indirect combustion to be installed in roofed
outdoor areas or in rooms with a sufficient fresh air supply.
The device is equipped with an exhaust gas connection for the
discharge of exhaust gases via the chimney.
The oil heater is further equipped with a fuel filter, a fuel pump
and a hot air outlet duct. The end piece of the hot air outlet duct
can be replaced by ducts with2 or4openings. All openings are
to be kept open.
THIS HEATER IS FOR PROFESSIONAL USE. IT HAS BEEN
CAREFULLY DESIGNED FOR MOBILE AND TEMPORARY
PROFESSIONAL APPLICATIONS. IT HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED
FOR DOMESTIC USE NOR FOR COMFORT HEATING AND
SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO HEAT CLOSED ROOMS WITHOUT
ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Functional principle
The device generates warmth by preparing the sucked-in, cold
air at the enlarged area of the combustion chamber, the heat
exchanger. The burner of the device sucks in the required
combustion air from the outside via air inlet nozzles or from the
room to be heated. If the air is sucked in from the room to be
heated, the room must be sufficiently ventilated. The air to be
heated is completely isolated from the combustion chamber,
where the fuel is burned. The combustion products are
discharged into the open air through a flue pipe. The sucked-in
air is heated and fed back to the environment via the air outlet.

ðThe air outlet temperature is displayed again.
Control of the trigger temperature of the fan thermostat
The temperature controller is programmed in a way that it
automatically switches the main fan on or off depending on the
temperature set for the combustion chamber. This prevents cold
air from being blown out when the burner starts and the
combustion chamber is not yet sufficiently heated.
This ensures that the internal residual heat is discharged upon
switch-off.
The default temperature setting is35°C with a hysteresis
of5°C.
Operating condition of the fan thermostat
• LED "OUT1"(35) is illuminated in red: the fan is switched
on.
• LED "OUT1"(35) is not Illuminated: the fan is switched
off.
Control of the trigger temperature of the burner thermostat
The temperature controller is programmed in a way that it
automatically switches the burner on or off depending on the
maximum temperature set for the combustion chamber. This
prevents overheating of the combustion chamber so that the
safety thermostatL2 is not triggered. If the safety thermostat
was triggered, the device would be switched off (see also
chapter "Errors and faults").
The default thermostat setting for the maximum temperature of
the combustion chamber is95°C with a hysteresis of5°C.
The "OUT2"LED(34) indicates the operating condition of the
burner thermostat: The LED sequence"-"(33), "="(32) and
"+"(31) indicates the current temperature:
• If the red arrow above the"-"(33) symbol lights up, the
temperature is below the set value. The burner is activated
by the thermostat.
• If the greenLED above the "="(32)symbol lights up, the
temperature corresponds to the set nominal value.
• If the red arrow above the"+"(31)symbol lights up, the
temperature is above the set value. The burner is locked
by the thermostat.
The trigger temperature of the fan thermostat and the burner
thermostat can only be modified after consultation with the
Trotec customer service.
