Operation
Nautic 40D is a marine diesel furnace with no open flame, intended for recreational use.
Use as a live aboard product will mean more frequent servicing, not covered by
warranty. The furnace extracts combustion air from the installation space through a slot
in its base and blows the exhaust gases overboard. This process forces replenishment of
damp cabin air with drier, oxygen rich air from outside. As the fuel burns, the released
heat is transferred to the air circulating in the air ducts via heat exchanger. The furnace
heating power is fully adjustable by way of a rheostat. The return and fresh makeup air is
brought to the heat exchanger by way of inlet ducting. Thanks to this suction duct
capability the furnace can also be installed in a diesel engine room. The furnace can
also be used as a ventilator, circulating air in the boat without heating through the air
ducts. This keeps the air fresh in the boat in hot weather. The heating capacity of the
device is best suited to 30’ – 42’ boats. Control panel options include a Basic Control
Panel with indicator lamps or a Digital Info Control Panel. The furnace is made entirely of
marine grade materials.

Mounting the device
Attach the furnace mounting bracket to the dampening plate (figure 2). Attach the
dampening plate to the bulkhead (figure 3). Attach the furnace to the mounting piece by
clicking the rails of the mounting piece to the grooves in the sides of the furnace (figure
4). Lock the furnace in place through its suspension loops with the two long mounting
bolts (figure 5). The furnace can be fitted to the bracket with the outlets at either end.
Mounting the control panel
Control panels are attached to the wall with the enclosed screws (figure 6). If desired, it
is possible to flush mount by removing the collar of the control panel, although this collar
needs to be used on the Info Panel if the thermostatic feature is to be functional.
NOTE: This furnace is made for marine use at or near sea level. Not for unattended
use.
Space Requirements
The furnace may be mounted either on a bulkhead or under the deck, and should be
vertical when the boat is on an even keel. Although the furnace can withstand some
tilting and large angles temporarily, the burner will not perform optimally if it is constantly
at an angle.
The installation must maintain a minimum of 8 inches under the furnace to facilitate
maintenance, otherwise removal of the unit will be necessary for maintenance.
To avoid galvanic corrosion, the furnace should be isolated from the metal framework of
the boat.
Take into consideration that the standard length of the control panel harness is 20ft. A
33ft extension is also available.
Exhaust pipe
The longest permissible exhaust gas pipe is 13ft. Exhaust runs over 8’ should not have
more than 360 degrees of turns. Turns should be as long radius as the installation
allows.
The exhaust through hull fitting may be installed into the hull, the transom or the deck,
depending on fitting type, hull design and other factors. If a deck fitting is desired and
heavy water on deck is expected, then a closeable deck fitting (2460) with an extension
(2069) should be used. On heeling sailboat through hull applications, the through hull
fitting should be installed as far aft as possible, preferably at the stern. Recommended
distance from the through hull fitting to the surface of the water is at least 12 inches.
Exhaust gas is hot! The exhaust pipe and fittings must be insulated well and installed
away from flammable materials. Air must be allowed to flow freely past either the
through hull or deck fitting. Please contact Scan Marine for information.

Location in relation to the fuel tank.
The longest permissible fuel line is 26ft; the supplied length is 13ft. The fuel line must always
contain a Wallas fuel filter.
We recommend that the furnace is placed 15 to 24 inches higher than the average level of fuel
in the fuel tank. The fuel pump has been adjusted for this difference in height.
If the fuel level in the tank is more than 15 inches above or more than 60 inches below the
furnace, the pump must be adjusted according to separate instructions available from your
Wallas service center.
A solenoid valve must be installed into the fuel line near the fuel tank if the surface of the fuel is
above the furnace. Contact Scan Marine with any questions you may have.
Warm-air ducting
The furnace is equipped with 2 x 3 inch (75mm) blower connections. In order to secure sufficient
air flow, the heating air must be divided into at least three outlet vents.
The ducting attaches to two 3 inch (75mm) outlet adaptors at the end of the furnace.
The longest permissible length of one branch of the warm air duct is 26 ft.
The minimum diameter of the warm air ducts is 3" to prevent excessive back pressure, based
on a minimum of three outlets.
The 3 inch outlet vents installed at the ends of the warm air ducts are equipped with an air valve
to regulate the flow of warm air into the cabin. The air valve should be removed from the vent in
the branch leading into the area needing the most heat. The flow of air to other areas may be
controlled by adjusting the position of the appropriate valve. (See Figure 11)
The use of a booster fan (P/N 3415) is recommended for ducts of excessive length. Information
about the booster fan and its use is can be obtained from your Wallas dealer.
All ducts over 3 ft. long, passing through unheated spaces should be insulated and
all duct connections should be secured with hose clamps.

Inlet air ductlng
Inlet air for the Nautic 40D furnace is taken through two 3 inch (75mm) air ducts. This allows the
furnace to be installed in the engine compartment or other spaces where the air may be foul.
One of the 2 x 3 inch (75mm) suction connections of the furnace is installed to extract fresh air
from the outside, and the other to extract air from inside the boat. Protective grilles without
throttle valves are attached to the ends of the suction pipes, and the opening for outdoor air also
needs to be protected appropriately against the weather.
For safety reasons the furnace must not be installed In a place where gasoline fumes
might be present.
The suction air is taken in via two branches of ducting. One inlet duct should take in some fresh
air and the other inlet duct should take in return air from inside the boat. (See Figures 12, 14,
15)
The longest permissible length of one branch of the suction air duct is 8 ft, based on a minimum
diameter of the inlet air ducts being 3" to prevent excessive pressure drop.
Protective grilles should be connected to the ends of the inlet ducts. These grilles are available
from Scan Marine.
Protect the opening of the fresh air inlet ducts with some form of weather/vermin shield.
Protective shields for this purpose are available at most marine supply stores.
All inlet duct connections should be secured with hose clamps.

Operation Using Basic
Control Panel
Heating
The furnace starts when the
power switch is turned to the
HEAT position. There is first
a self testing phase during
which the yellow and red
lamps blink in turn. Then the
yellow power indicator lamp
will light up and the actual
ignition process will begin.
Ignition takes about 5
minutes during which the
red heating lamp will light
up. The heating lamp is lit
when the combustion has
stabilized in the burner.
After ignition the furnace can
be adjusted with the control
panel. The furnace will not
necessarily start on the first
try after installation, when
the fuel hose is empty.
Failure to start is indicated
when the heating light starts
to blink after the start-up. If
this happens, move the
power switch to the OFF
position. The furnace cannot
be restarted until the cooling
fans have stopped and all
indicator lamps have gone
out. Once the indicator
lamps have gone out, restart
the furnace by switching it to
the HEAT position.
Stopping
Turn the power switch to the
OFF position to switch off
the furnace. The cooling
cycle of the furnace takes
about 10 minutes after
switch-off. During cooling
the power lamp is lit, and the
red heating lamp blinks.
After cooling all indicator
lamps will go out.
Ventilation
Turn the power switch to
VENT position to start
ventilation. Both the yellow
power indicator lamp and
the green ventilation
indicator lamp light up
immediately. The efficiency
of the ventilation air flow can
be adjusted with the power
adjustment knob. Turn the
power switch to OFF
position to stop ventilation.

Using an external thermostat on Nautic 40D furnace with #3004 control panel
An external thermostat can be connected to the #3004 control panel cable as shown in Figure
13. (Connector pin 7 = grey wire). Because the current is small the wire thickness is not
significant.
Any thermostat with closing contacts is suitable; the contacts should close when the thermostat
asks for more heat. When installing, please note the thermostat manufacturer’s instructions.
The thermostat will not switch the furnace on or off, but will adjust the furnace between minimum
power and the user determined power setting (made with the power knob). See Figure 16.
The desired temperature is set on the thermostat, and the furnace power setting is set to the
user’s requirement (determined by environment I outside temperature). Turning the power knob
to zero will defeat the thermostat function, higher power knob settings will make the thermostatic
control more aggressive, lower settings more moderate.

Fuel Lines & Filters
Wallas diesel products come with
polyethylene fuel line kits shipped in the
carton, which include a fuel filter &
miscellaneous adapters.
If you purchase a Wallas day tank, these
fuel line kits are not used, being replaced
by a complete #367215 tank adapter kit.
The #367215 kit has it’s own tank end filter.
Only one filter should be used.
The fuel lines are attached to the furnace
using a three part compression fitting,
shown in the images to the right. Correct
first assembly of the fuel line fitting and
mounting to the Wallas appliance is very
important.
1. Make sure the fuel line end is cut
cleanly and squarely.
2. Slide the nut on the fuel line, with
the threads toward the line end.
3. Push the acorn over the end of
the fuel line.
4. Slide the ferrule into the end of
the fuel line until the flange sits
snugly against the plastic tube.
5. Check the fuel fitting on the
Wallas product and the
acorn/ferrule end, making sure
they are clean and free of debris.
6. Place the end of the acorn
against the Wallas product’s fuel
fitting and slide the nut against
the threads.
7. Spin the nut onto the threads and
tighten very firmly. This process
compresses the fitting.
8. Loosen the nut and re-tighten for
a fully sealed fit.
Please note: ABYC and NMMA rules
may require the use of fire rated fuel
lines in new vessel applications. Please
contact Scan Marine for these products
and their correct application.
