General information
Maintenance and safety instructions
Dear Webasto user
We presume that the principle and mode of operation of your new heater has been
explained to your complete satisfaction by the workshop / service centre which
installed the heater. This manual summarizes the main points of importance for using
the heaters Thermo 50.
The water heaters Thermo 50 have been type-tested and approved in accordance with
Directives 2001/56/EC (heaters) and 72/245/EEC (EMC) within the territory governed by
European Directive 70/156/EEC.
The units must be installed in accordance with the enclosed installation instructions.The
equipment must be installed in accordance with the enclosed installation instructions.
The installation must be checked in accordance with statutory installation provisions.
Refer to the installation instructions for more details.
The year in which the heater is used for the first time must be permanently marked on
the rating plate by removing the inapplicable year figures.
If the Thermo 50 heater is installed in hazchem vehicles, then not only the requirements
of the motor vehicle construction and use regulations but also the provisions of the
relevant edition of ADR (Accord européen relatif au transport international des
marchandises dangereuses par route) must be complied with.

nNon-compliance with the installation instructions and the
warnings contained therein will lead to the exclusion of all
liability by Webasto. The same also applies if repairs are
not undertaken by professionals or without using genuine
spare parts. This invalidates the type approval for the
heater and its homologation / EC type permit.
The heater must:

Before switching the heater on, set the vehicle heating system to the "warm" position
and the vehicle heater fan to the lowest setting (less power consumption)!
The heater is started up by means of the switch or the 'instant heat' button on the digital
timer.
A brief 40-second after-run period is initiated automatically if
- the vehicle engine is shut off,
- a pumping device is put into operation.
Subsequently, the control unit is in its "fault lock-out" mode. Before the heater can be
restarted it must be switched off by means of the switch or the 'instant heat' button on the
digital timer.
The disconnect switch (Emergency Stop switch) may only be actuated in an emergency
situation since this will shut the heater down without any after-run being performed
(danger of overheating).

After the occurrence of a malfunction, the fault is indicated on the display of the digital
timer if the heater is equipped with a standard digital timer.
If the heater is activated by the switch, the types of malfunctions are indicated by
coded flashing signals via the operation indicator light during the after-run period of
the heater. The coded flashing signals correspond to the numbers in the table below
Troubleshooting
In the event of a malfunction, fuses and electrical connections should be checked for
proper condition and security.
In the event of a malfunction, the heater will shut down in its fault lock-out mode.
Following any fault lock-out condition, coded flashing signals will be emitted by the
operation indicator, or a fault code will appear on the display of the timer. For details on
the meaning of the fault code, refer to the last page.
Before you consult a Webasto service center, try to deactivate the fault lock-out by
switching the heater off and back on again. A fault lock-out condition may also be reset
by briefly removing the 15 amp fuse (blue) with the heater in the switched-on state.
