Servicing and safety instructions
Servicing and safety instructions
1. The heater has been type-tested and approved in accordance with EC
Directives 72/245/EEC (EMC) and 2001/56/EC (heater) with the following EC permit
numbers:
E1*72/255*95/54*1085*00
e1*2001/56*0022*00
2. The year in which the heater was used for the first time must be permanently displayed
on the factory plate be deleting the inapplicable years from the plate.
To install the Air Top 2000 ST D heater in hazchem vehicles, the requirements of ADR
must be satisfied in addition to the Road Traffic Registration Directive.
4. Claims can only be made if it can be verified that the claimant has complied with the
servicing and safety instructions.
7. The heater must be checked by an expert at the latest at the start of the cold weather
period.
8. In the event of long-lasting heavy smoke development, unusual combustion noises or a
smell of fuel or if the heater suffers continuous fault cut-outs with error messages (flashing
code), it must be put out of service be removing the fuse and must not be reused until it
has been nspected by Webasto-trained personnel.
Air Top 2000 ST
NOTE:
The provisions of these Directives are binding within the territory governed by EU
Directive 70/156/EEC and should similarly be observed in countries without specific
regulations.
3. The heaters are not designed for heating hazardous substance transport
compartments.
5. The heater must be switched off at filling stations and tank farms as a result of the risk
of explosion.
6. The heater may not be operated in enclosed spaces (such as garages) as a result of
the risk of poisoning and asphyxiation, even if a timer or Telestart remote is used.
9. Wherever inflammable vapours or dust may form (for example in the vicinity of fuel,
carbon, wood dust or cereal stores or the like), the heater must be switched off as a result
of the risk of explosion.
10. The heat transfer unit on air heaters is exposed to very high thermal stress and must
be replaced by a genuine Webasto spare part ten years after it is used for the first time.
If exhaust lines pass through areas used by personnel, they must also be replaced by
genuine spare parts after ten years.
11. The fuel specified by the vehicle manufacturer must be used for the Air Top 2000 ST B
heater (petrol). Both leaded and unleaded fuel may be used.
The diesel fuel specified by the vehicle manufacturer must be used for the Air Top 2000
ST D heater (diesel). Class EL heating oil (not L heating oil) may also be used as long as
it complies with the normal quality available on the German market pursuant to
DIN 51603.
The Air Top 2000 ST D heater is also licensed for use with PME (bio-diesel), which
complies with DIN EN 14214.
We know of no negative influences due to additives.
If fuel is extracted from the vehicle's tank, follow the additive instructions issued by the
vehicle manufacturer.
If you change to low-temperature fuel, the heater must be operated for approx.
15 minutes so that the fuel system is filled with the new fuel.
12. The temperature in the area around the heater must not exceed 85 °C (storage
temperature). If the temperature exceeds this level there is a risk of permanent damage to
the electronics systems.
13. Failure to follow the installation instructions and the notes contained therein will lead
to all liability being refused by Webasto. The same applies if repairs are carried out
incorrectly or with the use of parts other than genuine spare parts. This will result in the
invalidation of the type approval for the heater and therefore of its homologation / EC type
licence.
14. Keep the hot air inlet and hot air outlet free of dirt and foreign bodies.
Contaminated or blocked hot air lines may cause overheating and thus result in the
overheating cut-out tripping.
15. To prevent mechanical parts seizing, the heater should be operated for approx.
10 minutes every four weeks.
16. Do not stand on the heater and do not place any heavy items on the heater or throw
items at the heater.
17. Do not place any items of clothing, textiles or similar materials over the heater or in
front of the hot air inlet and the hot air outlet.
18. The current of hot air in the heater must not be restricted or blocked by highly
inflammable substances or materials such as rags, cleaning wool, etc.
19. The heater must not be cleaned with a high pressure cleaner.

To switch on
Ventilation option
NOTE:
!
Set the rotary knob on the control element to the required temperature.
A separate switch allows the user to choose between heating and ventilation mode.
In ventilation mode the fan speed depends on the position of the control element.
To prevent the hot and combustion air fan from blocking or scraping, ensure that
there are no objects on or against the heater before you switch it on.
Control element Changes to the settings
on the control element
are implemented after
a delay.

NOTE for ADR operation only:
!
The Air Top 2000 ST heater is switched on and off by hand using a switch. Automatic
controls must not be used.
In class FL vehicles these heaters must not be used during loading and unloading
procedures or at loading points.
In class FL vehicles the heaters are switched off automatically and the combustion air
supply is interrupted for a maximum of 40 seconds if:
– the vehicle's engine is at a standstill; in this case the heater can be switched on
again by hand.
– a pumping device that is part of the vehicle is started. The control unit is then in fault
lock-out mode.
The ON/OFF switch must be set to OFF before the heater can be restarted.

Manual: Press the (permanent heating mode)
Automatic: By programming the start time
The combination timer allows the heater start time to be selected for
a period of up to seven days. Three cut-in times can be programmed,
although only one of them may be activated.
The combination timer has a temperature setpoint generator.
When the ignition is switched on the timer shows the current time
and the day. If the heater is operating the display and the buttons
are lit.
When the timer is connected to the power supply all the symbols in
the display will flash. The time and day must be set. The display
remains blank in ADR vehicles.
The operation of the timer is designed such that all the flashing
symbols can be adjusted using the and buttons. If no button is
pressed for five seconds the displayed time is saved. If the and
are pressed for longer than two seconds, they will switch to high
speed adjustment.
If the ignition is switched off whilst the heater is in permanent heating
mode, a remaining operating time of 15 minutes will appear on the
display and the heater will continue to operate.
On heaters that output an error code (Air Top 2000 ST),
a number, the error code, may appear in the display. In this case you
should visit a Webasto service outlet.

perfect condition and connected correctly.
If the action described below does not rectify the error, have the heater checked by
Webasto-trained personnel.

If the system is fitted with a combination timer, when an error occurs an error code is
output on the timer's display until the heater has been rectified.
If the system is fitted with a control element, when an error occurs an error code is output
by the indicator/error code display flashing. After a burst of fast flashes the error code will
be output by a sequence of long flashes, the number of which is shown in the table
below.
Error code Meaning
If serious faults, such as overheating or no start, occur frequently, the heater will be
set to fault lock-out (F 12) and can be restarted by disconnecting the supply voltage
(e.g. removing and reinserting the fuse).
After an ADR cut-out or the application of operating voltage by switching on the main
vehicle switch and setting the control element to ”ON” the control unit will be set to
the “Fault cut-out” position.
Before the heater can be restarted the control element must be set to “OFF” or the
immediate heat button on the combination or standard timer must be pressed.
