1.1 Scope and Purpose

This repair shop manual is intended to support famil-

iarized personnel in the repair of the Air Top 2000 S.

1.1.1 Use of Air Heaters

The air heater Air Top 2000 S is used to

- heat the cabin

- defrost the windscreens.

They are not cleared for heating a transportation com-

partment for dangerous goods.

The heaters operate independent from the vehicle en-

gine and are connected to the fuel tank and to the electri-

cal system of the vehicle. Their use is possible in

vehicles with water- or air-cooled engines.

1.2 Meaning of Warnings, Cautions

and Notes

This heading is used to highlight and draw specific atten-

tion to information.

1.3 Additional Documentation to be used

This workshop manual contains all information and pro-

cedures necessary for the repair of the Air Top 2000 S.

The use of additional documentation is normally not

necessary.

Operating instructions/installation instructions and the

vehicle specific installation proposal may be used as

complementary information as necessary.

1.4 Safety Information and Regulations

The general safety regulations for the prevention of acci-

dents and the relevant operating safety instructions have

to be observed at all times."General Safety Regulations"

beyond the scope of these regulations are detailed in the

following.The specific safety regulations applicable to

this manual are highlighted in the individual chapters by

Warnings, Cautions, and Notes.

1.4.1 General Safety Notes

Within the scope of the StVZO (Road Licensing Regula-

tions of the Federal Republic of Germany) “Design

General Approvals”, laid down by the Federal Office for

Motor Traffic, exist for the Air Top 2000 S with the

following official marks of conformity:

-S 324 (Diesel)

-S 325 (Gasoline)

The installation of the heater is to be performed in ac-

cordance with the installation instructions and must be

checked in case of

a) the vehicle type inspection in accordance with

§ 20 StVZO

b) the individual inspection in accordance with

§ 21 StVZO or

c) the examination in accordance with § 19 StVZO

performed by an officially authorised expert or exam-

iner for road traffic, a vehicle inspector or a public

servant as per section 7.4 a of Annex VIII to the

StVZO.

In the event of c) the installation must be certified on the

acceptance certificate included in the copy of the

“General Operating License” giving details about

- manufacturer

- type of vehicle , and

- vehicle identification number.

This validates the “Design General Approval”.

The acceptance certificate must be kept with the

vehicle.

The year of first operation must be permanently

marked on the identification label.

The heaters are cleared for heating the passenger and

driver cabins but not for heating compartments intended

for the transportation of dangerous goods.

101

Air Top 2000 S

1 Introduction

The heater must not be installed in the passenger or

driver compartments of busses. Should the heater never-

theless be installed in such a compartment, the installa-

tion box must be sealed tight against the vehicle interior.

There must be sufficient ventilation of the installation box

from the exterior in order not to exceed a maximum tem-

perature of 40 °C in the installation box.

At filling stations and fuel depots the heater must be

switched off as there is a potential danger of explo-

sion.

Where flammable fumes or dust may build up (e.g.

in the vicinity of fuel, coal, wood, cereal depots, or

similar installations) the heater must be switched off

to prevent explosions.

Due to the danger of poisoning and suffocation the

heater must not be operated in enclosed areas such as

garages or workshops without exhaust venting, not even

if the start-up is activated by the timer or telestart device.

When removing the heater the gasket below must be re-

placed.

The heat exchanger of the air heater remains service-

able for a maximum of 10 years and must then be re-

placed with an original spare part by the manu-

facturer or by one of its authorized workshops.

The heater must then be provided with a label

marked with the sales date and with the words “Orig-

inal Spare”.

Should exhaust pipes be routed through rooms

accommodating persons, these pipes shall also be

renewed after 10 years.

Installations not legally authorized will void the air

heater’s “Official Marks of Conformity” and thus the

vehicle’s permit of operation. The same applies for

repairs performed by unskilled personnel and repairs

with no original spare parts.

1.5 Legal Provisions for Installation

For testing the heater in accordance with 19, 20, or 21

of the StVZO the following regulations are to be ob-

served in particular (§ 22 a StVZO):

Testing is performed upon presentation of the operating

and installation instructions of the manufacturer.

The year of the initial operation must be durably marked

on the heater identification plate by the installing person.

Heating Air System

Heating air intake openings must be arranged so that

under normal operating conditions exhaust fumes of the

vehicle engine or air heater are not likely to be expected.

Extracting combustion air from the vehicle interior is not

permissible.

Combustion Air Line

The combustion air required must be taken from the

exterior.

Within rooms accommodating persons, the combustion

air lines must not have more than four disconnects and a

splash-water protected exterior wall feedthrough. The

disconnects must be sealed in a way not to exceed a

leak rate of 200 l/h at an overpressure of 0.5 mbar.

The line including feedthrough, disconnects, material

and specific type must be described in the installation

instructions.

The line must require tools for installation and removal,

must be protected against damage, and must be shock-

proof.

Exhaust Line

Heaters must be designed to discharge the exhaust to

the exterior.

Exhaust pipes must be routed so that exhaust fumes are

unlikely to penetrate into the vehicle’s interior.

The function of any parts of the vehicle essential for its

operation must not be impaired. Condensate or water

penetrated must not be able to accumulate in the

exhaust line.

Drain holes are permissible; these must drain the fluid to

the exterior via lines sealed against the vehicle interior.

The exhaust line outlet is to be positioned to the top, to

the side, or in case of exhaust venting below the vehicle

floor, to the nearest possible location of the vehicle’s or

cockpit’s side or rear end. In compartments accommo-

dating persons, exhaust lines must not have more than

one disconnect and must have a splash-water protected

feedthrough in the exterior wall/floor. For water, that has

penetrated into the exhaust line, the connection of a

drain line with a metal-sealing joint is permissible. The

drain pipe must be routed sealed through the exterior

wall or the vehicle floor.The heat exchanger, the exhaust

line connected, as well as the possible drain pipe must

be sealed so that with an overpressure of double the

overpressure of the exhaust having the maximum per-

missible exhaust line length - at least however at an over-

pressure of 0.5 bar - a total leak rate of 30 l/h is not

exceeded.

The line including feedthrough, disconnects, material

and specific type must be described in the installation

instructions.

The line must require tools for installation and removal,

must be protected against damage, and must be shock-

proof.

102

1 Introduction

Air Top 2000 S

Metal lines must be used. These may not heat to more

than 110 °C should there be the possibility of contact

within the room interior. Protective devices against con-

tact may be fitted.

Should exhaust pipes be routed through rooms accom-

modating persons, these pipes shall be renewed after 10

years using genuine spare parts.

Combustion Air Inlet and Exhaust Outlet

During installations these ports for combustion air entry

and exhaust fume exit must be of such type, that a ball

with a diameter of 16 mm cannot be inserted. Electrical

lines, switch gear and control gear of the heater must be

located in the vehicle so that their proper function cannot

be impaired under normal operating conditions.

For the routing of fuel lines and the installation of addi-

tional fuel tanks §§ 45 and 46 of the StVZO are to be

adhered to.

The most important regulations are: Fuel lines are to be

designed in such a way that they remain unaffected by

torsional stresses in the vehicle, engine movement and

the like. They must be protected against mechanical

damage.

Fuel-carrying parts are to be protected against ex-

cessive heat and are to be arranged so that any dripping

or evaporating fuel can neither accumulate nor be ig-

nited by hot components or electrical equipment.

In busses, fuel lines and fuel tanks may be located

neither in the passenger area nor in the driver’s compart-

ment. In these type of vehicles the fuel tanks must be lo-

cated such that they do not pose a direct hazard to the

exits in the event of a fire. Fuel supply must not be by

means of gravity or pressurization of the fuel tank.

Installation Rules for Webasto Fuel Tanks for the

Fuel Supply of Heaters in Vehicles

In busses the installation is not permitted in the pas-

senger or driver compartment.

The fuel fill neck must in no vehicle be located within any

of these compartments.

Fuel containers for gasoline fuel must not be located

immediately behind the front panelling of the vehicle.

They must be sparate from the engine so that even in

case of an accident the inflammation of fuel is unlikely to

be expected. This does not apply for towing vehicles

with an open cockpit.

The operational state of the heater, i.e. an indication “on”

or “off”, must be easily and clearly visible.

3.1.1 Control Element

The control element is used to switch the air heater on

and off, set the desired room temperature (air intake tem-

perature between 10 °C and 45 °C), and to unlock a

failure interrupt condition.

The green LED indication is used to indicate the opera-

ting condition (LED permanently on) and an overheat

condition (LED flashes).

3.1.2 Switch-On

The control element is set to the desired room tempera-

ture. When switching the air heater on, the operating indi-

cator is illuminated and the glow plug is activated

(cycled). The motor of the combustion and heating air

fan starts high-speed operation for 1 second (break-

away moment) and is then under slow-down control to

approx. 30% (Diesel) or 50% (fuel) of full speed.

NOTE

Should the temperature of the intake air be above the se-

lected, rated temperature, only the motor of the combus-

tion and heating air fan will operate (control idle). Start

operation will be initiated with a heating air temperature

below the rated temperature.

The flame sensor function is checked. If the flame sen-

sor at this time already signals “flame”, there will be a

120 second run-down and an error lockout of the control

unit. A malfunction of any other component monitored

causes an error lockout without run-down.

After approx. 20 seconds (for fuel operated heaters after

approx. 15 seconds) the fuel dosing pump is activated.

After another 25 seconds the speed of the combustion

and heating air fan is continuously increased to a higher

rate and combustion begins. As soon as a flame is

detected, combustion will be stabilized (see 3.1.3).

Should no normal combustion be achieved within 120

seconds (for fuel operated heaters after approx. 115

seconds), the speed of the combustion and heating air

fan is increased for approx. 30 sec and there will be an

automatic repeat start with the glow plug activated and

fuel dosing pump deactivated (no fuel supply).

Should no proper combustion develop within 120 sec-

onds (for fuel-operated within 115 seconds) the combus-

tion and heating air fan speed is increased to full load for

approx. 30 seconds (15 seconds for fuel-operated

heaters) with the glow plug on and the dosing pump off

(no fuel delivery) with a subsequent automatic restart.

Should the no-combustion-condition persist, after an-

other 80 seconds (for fuel operated heaters after approx.

85 seconds) there will be a switch-off by error lockout

(see 3.1.8) with a run-down of the combustion and heat-

ing air fan lasting 120 seconds at 2/3 of its max. speed.

2. Start (automatic restart)

Fan speed is again reduced to approx. 30% (for fuel

operated heaters to approx. 50%) and fuel is delivered.

During the next 20 seconds fan speed is increased to ap-

prox. 60% (for fuel-operated heaters to approx. 75%) of

full speed. As soon as a flame is detected within the next

55 seconds, combustion will be stabilized. Should there

be no flame condition after a total fuel delivery period of

180 seconds, fuel delivery will be stopped and the glow

plug deactivated. The combustion air fan continues full

load operation for another 120 seconds (run-down) and

the heater enters the error lockout condition.

3.1.3 Stabilization

Diesel Operated Heaters

With the glow plug activated the operating speed of the

combustion and heating air fan is increased. After an-

other 20 seconds the speed of the combustion and heat-

ing air fan is continuously increased within 17 seconds

to full load for full heat.

NOTE

This operating condition is omitted if the set temperature

(control idle) has already been achieved once.

The glow plug is deactivated and heating operation com-

mences. A flame-out during speed up control causes a

restart, 5 restarts an error lockout of the heater.

Fuel Operated Heaters

With the glow plug activated the operating speed of the

combustion and heating air fan is continuously increased

within 4 seconds to full load for full heat. This operating

condition will be omitted if the start occurs after a control

idle period.

The glow plug is deactivated and heating operation com-

mences. A flame-out during speed up control causes a

restart, 5 restarts an error lockout of the heater.

302

3 Functional Description

Air Top 2000 S

3.1.4 Heating Operation

During operation the combustion exhaust gasses flow

through the heat exchanger charging its walls with com-

bustion heat, which in turn is taken up by the heating air

delivered by the heating air fan to be routed to the ve-

hicle interior.

The temperature of the heating air sucked in is

measured by means of a temperature sensor fitted to

the air intake side of the air heater or by means of an ex-

ternally located temperature sensor.

A temperature below the one set with the control ele-

ment increases the heater performance up to maximum

heat. In order to extend the burner idle period of Diesel

operated heaters during permanent operation with a

heating performance in excess of 1.1 kW, the fuel dos-

ing pump delivery rate is reduced every 15 minutes for

20 seconds.

A heating performance less than 1.1 kW causes the fuel

delivery to the dosing pump to be interrupted every 30

minutes for 4 seconds. Additionaly heating operation is

briefly suspended every 9 hours like in control idle. For

Diesel-operated heaters this is only applicable, if at this

time heating performance is less than 1.1 kW.

3.1.5 Control Operation

During control operation fan speed and dosing pump

rate of delivery are subject to heating performance.

The glow plug is deactivated.

3.1.6 Control Idle

After reaching the temperature set with the control ele-

ment, heating performance is controlled to decrease.

The speed of the combustion and heating air fan slows

down and the fuel delivery rate to the dosing pump is re-

duced. When exceeding the air intake temperature set

with the control element during minimum heating perfor-

mance, the dosing pump is deactivated after 5 seconds

and combustion terminates.

Fan speed remains constant for 35 seconds and is then

increased to approx. 60% of full speed for cooling the

heater down. the fan then continues to operate at ap-

prox. 30% of full speed until temperature is below the

temperature set with the control element. If temperature

falls below the one set with the control element, the

heater will restart (without break away).

NOTE

New settings on the control element are executed by the

control unit/heater with a time delay.

3.1.7 Switch-Off

Switching the heater off extinguishes the operation indi-

cation of the control element.

If no fuel has been delivered or if the air heater is in con-

trol idle, the air heater is deactivated immediately

without run-down.

If fuel supply has commenced it will be immediately

stopped at switch-off. Fan speed remains constant and

then decreases within 30 seconds to approx. 60% of full

speed. After this or with the flame sensor detecting “no

flame”, fan speed rises to maximum speed for 60 sec-

onds and run down for 120 seconds is initiated. Run-

down is at approx. 60% of full speed and is deactivated

automatically.

NOTE

Re-activation of the heater during run-down is permitted.

Run-down will be completed first with a subsequent re-

start.

3.1.8 Switch-off upon Failure

The control unit recognizes failures of individual air

heater components and malfunctions in the start se-

quence and in normal operation.

The air heater is deactivated and enters the error lock

out mode under the following conditions:

flame sensor open or short circuit

temperature sensor open or short circuit

glow plug open or short circuit

fan motor open or short circuit or fan speed wrong

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 General

A malfunction of the Air Top 2000 S is indicated by an

error code displayed on the combination or standard

timer. When equipped with a standard control dial

the operating indicator flashes. In addition a heater check

out may be performed using a personal computer (refer

to operating instructions PC air heater diagnosis).

CAUTION

Troubleshooting requires profound knowledge about

structure and theory of operation of heater components

and may only be performed by skilled personnel.

In cases of doubt refer to Sections 2 or 3 for functional

interrelations.

CAUTION

Troubleshooting is normally limited to the isolation of

defective components.

The following causes for trouble are not considered and

should always be checked for to exclude them as cause

for trouble:

corrosion on connector

loose contact on connector

wrong crimping on connector

corrosion on electrical wiring and fuses

corrosion on battery terminals

If individual components are checked, the control unit

electrical connections must be disconnected.

After any correction of a failure a functional test has to

be performed in the vehicle.

6. Functional Tests

6.1 General

This section describes the on-vehicle and off-vehicle

testing of the air heater to check its proper operation.

WARNING

The air heater shall not be operated in enclosed areas

like garages or workshops not provided with exhaust

venting facilities.

6.2 Adjustments

6.2.1 Adjustment of the CO2 Contents

6.2.1.1 General

The CO2 contents of the exhaust is adjusted with the

potentiometer on the control circuit board. The air heater

is preset by the manufacturer with respect to the com-

bustion and heating air fan fitted. After adjustment by the

manufacturer the potentiometer is in center position

(Fig. 601). After an inadvertent loss of this position it is

sufficient to restore its original position.

The manufacturer setting may be corrected by rotating

the potentiometer. A suitable tool like a small screw

driver (2.5 mm tip) is to be used.

CAUTION

Set potentiometer slowly; observe end positions.

Adjustment may be performed at any electrical system

voltage.

Clockwise rotation increases the fan speed and de-

creases the CO2 contents. Counterclockwise rotation de-

creases the fan speed and increases the CO2 contents.

If the setting range is not sufficient (e.g. after replace-

ment of the combustion and heating air fan) the manufac-

turer’s setting may be cancelled according to the

procedure described in the following.

6.2.1.2 New Basic Setting

CAUTION

The manufacturer’s setting cannot be restored.

1. Withdraw cover from upper shell according to 9.2.1.

2. Switch on air heater.

3. Rotate potentiometer two times and with no interrupt

through its complete setting range (e.g. max. - min.-

max.).

4. Adjust desired CO2 contents (Fig. 601).

5. Switch off air heater.

6. Install cover and secure.

8. Servicing

8.1 General

This section describes the servicing procedures that

may be performed with the air heater installed.

8.2 Work on the Air Heater

Prior to performing any work it is mandatory to discon-

nect the vehicle battery main lead. As long as the air

heater is in operation or in run-down, the battery main

supply must not be disconnected due to the danger of

overheating resulting in a response of the overheat pro-

tection.

When performing extensive repairs on the heater a com-

plete removal is advisable. When performing repairs re-

quiring a relocation of the installation position, the

relevant installation instructions and the vehicle-specific

installation proposal have to be observed.

8.3 Work on the Vehicle

CAUTION

In the vicinity of the air heater a temperature of 85 °C

must not be exceeded under any circumstances (e.g.

during body paint work).

8.4 Air Heater Test Run

WARNING

The air heater must not be operated, not even with

timer, in enclosed areas like garages or workshops not

equipped with an exhaust venting facility.

CAUTION

Operation of the heater without the control unit cover is

not permitted and causes overheating.

8.5 Servicing

NOTE

In order to avoid the seizure of mechanical components,

the air heater should be operated every 4 weeks for at

least 20 minutes.

The air heater does not require maintenance. It should

however be checked by Webasto-trained skilled person-

nel on regular intervals, the latest before the heating

season begins (point of time, when the heater is more

frequently in use due to weather conditions).

For reasons of the air heater’s functional reliability per-

form the following servicing:

check heating air inlet and outlet for foreign matter

and contamination. (Contaminated or clogged heat-

ing air ducts may lead to overheating and thus

response of the temperature limiter).

Clean air heater exterior (prevent the ingress of

water).

Examine electrical connections for corrosion of con-

tacts and for security.

Check combustion air and exhaust ducts for damage

and obstructions.

Check fuel lines and fuel filter for leakage.

Replace fuel filter if installed.

8.6 Visual Inspections and Installation

Regulations

8.6.1 Heating Air System

CAUTION

The integration of the air heater into the vehicle’s own air

system is not permitted due to the system’s high press-

ure and temperature.

Fitted in the air heater on the heating air intake side is a

temperature sensor, which operates the heater in the

relevant range of performance in conjunction with the

control dial dependent on the air intake temperature

and position of the rated value transmitter. Heating per-

formance is selected so that after quickly reaching the

preselected indoor temperature it is maintained at this

value. Air Top 2000 S heaters may be operated with an

external temperature sensor (see 9.1.2).

Minimum inside diameter of the heating air duct is

55 mm. Standard diameter is 60 mm.

NOTE

For heating air ducting only materials may be used

which are temperature-proof to at least 130 °C.

Maximum loss of pressure between suction and delivery

side of the heating air duct 1.0 mbar (10 mm water

column).

When exceeding this value the temperature limiter is

very likely to respond. The heating air hose is to be se-

cured at its joints.

Vehicles with an Injection Engine

When installing the heater in a vehicle with fuel injection

systems, it is important to establish whether the fuel

pump is located inside or outside the tank.

If the fuel pump is located inside the tank, fuel can only

be extracted from the return line using a Webasto fuel

tee fitting in which case it must be ensured that the

return line continues almost to the bottom of the tank.

If this is not the case, a Webasto fuel standpipe

(see Figs. 802, 803 and 804) may be used.

If the fuel pump is installed outside the tank, the fuel

connection may also be made between the tank and

fuel pump, again using only the Webasto fuel tee fitting.

Vehicles with a Carburetor Engine

The fuel may only be extracted on cars using a special

Webasto fuel tee fitting as close to the tank as possible.

The connection may be made in either the supply or

return line, in which case the return line must lead

almost to the base of the tank. If this is not the case,

the return line may be extended.

The fuel tee must be fitted in such a way that any air or

gas bubbles are automatically discharged towards the

tank.

The fuel tee should not be located near the engine, as

gas bubbles may form in the lines on account of heat

radiated from the engine. This may cause problems

during combustion.

The fuel is taken from the vehicle fuel tank or from a

separate fuel tank. The values for maximum pressure

at the fuel extraction point are shown in Fig. 801.

The fuel must be taken from the vehicle fuel tank or

from a separate tank (Figs. 802, 803 and 804). This

separate fuel pickup precludes any effect of pressure.

8.6.2.2 Fuel Lines

Fuel lines may only be steel, copper, or plastic lines

made of unhardened, light and temperature stabilised

PA 11 or PA 12 ( e.g. Mecanyl RWTL) according to DIN

73378. As in most cases a permanently rising fuel line

routing cannot be ensured, the inner diameter must not

exceed a certain value. Starting from an inside diameter

of 4 mm, air or gas bubbles accumulate resulting in mal-

functions should the lines be descending or have sags.

The diameters specified in Fig. 801 will ensure that

bubbles do not form.

A descending line routing from the dosing pump to the

heater should be avoided.

Loose fuel lines must be secured in order to avoid sagg-

ing. The installation must ensure protection against

stone impacts and undue temperatures (exhaust line).

The fuel line joints are to be secured against slipping

with hose clamps.

8.6.3 Dosing Pump

The dosing pump is a combined delivery, dosing, and

shut-off system and is subject to certain installation crite-

ria (see Figs. 801 and 806).

8.6.3.1 Installation Location

It is advantageous to mount the dosing pump in a cool

location. The ambient temperature must never exceed

+20 °C during operation.

Dosing pump and fuel lines must not be installed in loca-

tions exposed to heat radiated by hot vehicle compo-

nents. A heat shield is to be provided as required.

8.6.3.2 Installation and Attachment

The dosing pump is to be attached with anti-vibration

mounts. The installation location is limited according to

Fig. 806 to ensure sufficient self-venting capability. Due

to the danger of corrosion the plug connection between

dosing pump and dosing pump cable loom may only use

Webasto original parts.

Only a Webasto filter, P/N 50487171A, is allowed to be

used if the fuel is expected to be contaminated. Install

vertically if possible, however at most horizontally (check

flow direction).

8.6.5 Combustion Air Supply

Combustion air must under no circumstances be ex-

tracted from rooms with persons. The combustion air

inlet must not point towards the forward direction of mo-

tion. It must be located so that no clogging by contamina-

tion is to be expected.

NOTE

For fuel operated heaters the combustion air tap must

be located in a possibly cool and splash water proof posi-

tion using a combustion air line.

If the air heater is located in a closed installation box,

combustion air must be taken in from and the exhaust

routed to the exterior. The feedthroughs must not allow

exhaust fumes to enter the vehicle interior.

If a contamniated combustion air supply is expected, a

combustion air filter (Ident No. 21963A) can be fitted

(Air Top 2000 S D only).

8.6.6 Exhaust Line

Rigid pipes made of unalloyed or alloyed steel with a

minimum wall thickness of 1.0 mm have to be used as

exhaust line or flexible pipes made of alloyed steel only.

The exhaust pipe is secured to the air heater e.g. with a

clamp.

The exhaust muffler is preferably mounted near the air

heater. The direction of flow is optional.

9. Repair

9.1 General

This section describes the repairs that may be per-

formed on the air heater Air Top 2000 S after it has

been removed from the vehicle.

Any further disassembly will void the warranty.

For reassembly, only components of the proper spare

parts and kits are to be used.

9.1.1 Work on Components after Disassembly

CAUTION

All gaskets located between disassembled components

as well as the exhaust outlet seal must always be re-

placed and discarded.

9.1.1.1 Cleaning

All components disassembled must be cleaned with

cleaning spirit and subsequently dried with press-

urized air.

All sealing compound must be carefully removed

from components using a suitable tool.

9.1.1.2 Visual Inspection

Examine all components for damages (cracks, defor-

mation, wear, etc.) and replace as necessary.

Examine connectors and wiring for corrosion, loose

contacts, wrong crimping, etc. and repair as necess-

ary.

Check terminals for corrosion and contacts for

security. Repair as required.

9.1.2 Incorporation of Modifications

NOTE

The continous design improvement of the heaters is in-

tended to optimise their serviceability avoiding failures or

malfunctions.

In general equipment in service may be retrofitted with

available modification kits. In the following that modifica-

tion which may be incorporated easily during maintenace:

installation of an external temperature sensor for

optimising temperature control of the Air Top 2000 S

(see 9.1.2.1).

9.1.2.1 Installation of an External Temperature

Sensor

General

Procedure

1. Select adequate installation location for external

temperature sensor.

IMPORTANT

Temperature sensor should not be in the direct

line of heated air flow or located in the vicinity of

heating sources (e.g. vehicle’s own heater).

The sensor is to be installed at medium height

in the vehicle interior on surfaces that are as

vertical as possible.

The installation location should not be exposed to

direct sun light.

Do not mount temperature sensor behind curtains or

the like.

2. Mount external temperature sensor and route cable

to control unit.

3. Connect connector X9 and install cover.

4. Perform test run and check control behaviour.

The heater can control the required temperature

perfectly if its temperature sensor is exposed to the air of

the main area of the vehicle. In certain circumstances,

this is not always possible using the temperature sensor

integrated in the control unit due to the installation

circumstances (addition of fresh air). In this case proper

temperature control can be ensured using an external

temperature sensor fitted in the appropriate area.
