  • Chinese Diesel Heater Controller Setup
    In this third and final video on the Chinese Diesel Heater install I show you how to program and use the LCD Electronic Controller. Then discuss and demonstrate some of the helpful functions.
    Thought I would make a video so you could see how I installed one of these heaters in our pickup canopy. This is how I chose to install the heater and this video is for entertainment purposes only. I'm not a professional installer. You will need do your own research to see if this is an option for you. Consult the diesel heater owner's manual and a professional installer if your in need of guidance with an installation.
    Thank you to everyone who watches my videos I appreciate your support!

    Great video! Explained exactly what I needed to know. The instructions I received from my unit were completely worthless had I followed them I would've wire the unit up incorrectly. Your controller is exactly the controller I have which made this video great finished my install watched your video and it fired up first time got rid of that 30 year old propane furnace👍👍👍

      Got mine set up and working great in the truck camper. Keeping the old propane furnace in place as an emergency backup. It will run without any power.

      @Tony Bailes I've got two heaters, each has a completely different display. The one like you see in the thumbnail with the heater graphic always shows info even if it's off. The backlight will dim until you press a button then it goes bright, but it's still visible at all times. The other type is just numerical digits and goes dark after it shuts down.

    • @beezertwelvewashingbeard8703
      @beezertwelvewashingbeard8703 Před 2 lety +2

      @Tony Bailes next to nothing in terms of battery usage to power only the display head unit. If you're using the heater in your shop, it's advised to power it off a car battery and use a battery maintainer/trickle charger.

      @rustysummers3217 Před 2 lety +3

      Until the solder connection on the wire pulls loose from the circuit board in that LCD Controller! Then you cannot get the heater unit to start up! I wish someone would tell if it's possible to jump a couple of the wires that run to these controllers to BYPASS the controller just to get the heater up & running if you are in a (situation) where you accidentally pulled the NOT STRESS RELIEF wires out of the controller! PS: I commented elsewhere a recommendation that when you first get your heater you need to pump some hot glue or RTV Gasket sealer up into the little hole where the wires enter the plastic LCD controller box to help stress relief the wire from being pulled out.

      Yes! This is a nice controller, easy to operate and very easy to program. For Helen and I we probably wont use the timer function but the setup for it is the same as setting up the clock function. Take care.

      Yes, programing the timer is very similar to programing any electronic clock timer. Hikerdok, I'm not sure about timer and temp working together as we don't use the timer feature. If you work that out do let us know here by leaving a comment. I'm sure there are others that would benefit from that bit of wisdom. Have a great weekend

    I've just bought one of these 5 Kv diesel heaters as my home gas fired heater stopped working due to an excess of rain water around the burner unit causing an electrical short and a shut down.
    The instruction book was not a lot of use as it didn't clearly show settings through the path to fire up and shut down etc
    By pure luck I did get it to initially run by blindly experimenting with the control buttons and it did perform well.
    This video has been the answer to using the heater and now I have to find a way/place to install it so the exhaust can be directed outside......the exhaust pipe DOES get really hot.
    It's going to be a temporary emergency fix but at the same time I'll probably be using it mainly in my garage workshop in Winter......temperatures in South OZ get down to 10 deg C and that's too cold to work for any length of time without some heating.
    For the garage I'll just mount it against the wall on a shelf and direct the exhaust out of the window, probably eventually through a hole drilled in the brickwork........it will be much cheaper to run than the industrial 20KW electric heater I use occasionally.
    Edit........I'm so impressed with the simplicity of using this heater I'll invest in a second one just for the garage as this one I going to stay in the house for times when the gas heater is not working.

      You may want to pull it apart and clean out the burn chamber and clean the filter screen that is in the glow plug slot. You will need parts to do the job mostly gaskets. Be careful with the glow plug and wires they are fragile. Thank you for watching our channel and leaving your comments. Have a great day.

  • @gabrial3377
    @gabrial3377 Před rokem

    Thank you so much. I have had a desil heater and it took me so long to assemble it and then the on off simple switch didn't work and I wanted the one that showed me what was going on with it. Anyway no instructions came with the control pod, and I have been randomly pushing buttons looking for the feringeight button and now I know there is only Celsius. So I have to create a exchange sheet laminate it and tape it to the machine.
    I also didn't know what the (of) ment. I thought it meant shut off.
    I have learned so much, need to rewatch several times to memorize and take notes.
    Had to guerilla tape over the flimsy heater output hose as this is for a tent. And I definitely need a longer more flexible exhaust hose. Will be looking to see if they sell those any longer. I built the heater into a plastic tool box with the intake and exhaust hose coming out of the bottom of the box. I think they should have designed those two further apart. I also had to create a different size square gas tank, using tire air valve after removing the small screw in needle. So far it works good. Glad line is a bit stuff in the cold. I don't trust the exhaust which is under the machine to be inside the tent even if the exhaust was vented outside. So entire thing except heater hose connected to a dryer hose, all insulated up with blk gurrella duct tape will be all that enters inside the tent instead of a wood stove. I like my tent stove but one cannot sleep and feed a stove during winter camping. Anyway, I am so happy I found your instruction for the control. It was a big mystery to me. Heater kept shutting off.
    Does the control pod have a thermostat where if it is colder it pumps faster and if it gets to warm it will slow down?
    Need more instruction about the megahurtz.

    • @explorer867
      @explorer867  Před rokem

      Thank you for watching the video and watching my other videos also. The controller if set on Celsius will automatically run the diesel heater up and down to keep heat in a given space at one temperature. That said is dependent on the size of the room, the insulation in roof and walls, and size of heater.
      Always be safe, consult and follow what your owner's manual says to do.
