Eberspacher heater control panel instructions ?

[jwilson]

Does anyone have a set of instructions for the Eberspacher 7 day timer control unit? (the one with an LCD display and five buttons)

My son had my instruction sheet, and set it to come on every morning whilst using the boat 2 weeks ago. Now I can't get it to stop coming on every morning even though the boat's now ashore for the winter. Instructions lost of course!

I MIGHT have managed to stop it, but until tomorrow morning I can't be sure!

Do you not leave it disconnected from the battery? I'm not sure I'd fancy the fire risk of leaving it permanently connected.

On my DC3 system, I think its push P for program on, Push P fro Program off?. Will check instructions on Boat tomorrow.

Try this, if not then disconnect the permanent live feed for a few seconds, and it will forget itself.

Thanks: I managed to get it to show P with a cross through it, which is probably 'program off' but in the process of finding this out all sorts of other on/off options went through. I may have set all srts of times by accident when I do turn it on again.

Re the wiring: I assumed it was wired through the main battery breakers, but obviously it is not as it is still running with these switched off. I only discovered this yesterday afternoon: I'll look into rewiring it to after the domestic breaker, unless there's some reason not to.

I found the link to Espar, but cannot get any of the PDF files to download.

When mine was wired they said that they liked to get as close to the battery as possible to reduce the problem of low voltage. The unit has its own fuse so didn't see this as a problem.

The control unit has its own battery, but do not know how long it will last if you take it off the ship's supply for long periods.
