Statutory requirements
To install the heater in a vehicle subject to the German
regulations governing the registration of motor vehicles
(StVZO), a “General Type Approval” has to be issued by the
Federal Motor Vehicle Office (Kraftfahrtbundesamt) and the
appropriate official test symbol must be indicated on the
heater rating plate.
HYDRONIC 16 S 329
HYDRONIC 24 S 297
HYDRONIC 30 S 295
HYDRONIC 35 S 296
The statutory requirements are binding for applications which
fall within the scope of the StVZO (regulations governing the
registration of motor vehicles) and should also be adhered to
in countries in which there are no specific regulations.
Where heaters are installed in vehicles that are not subject
to the StVZO (e.g. ships) the directions and installation
instructions which apply specifically to those cases must be
observed.
Directions regarding installation and repair
• Installation of heaters must comply with the Installation
Instructions. In the following cases,
a) vehicle type test under §20 StVZO
b) individual test under §21 StVZO or
c) examination under §19 StVZO,
the heater must be checked by an officially certified
expert or tester of motor vehicles, a motor vehicle
expert or employee in accordance with Section 7.4 a of
the Annex to the StVZO,
and in case c) this must be certified with details of the
vehicle manufacturer, vehicle type and vehicle identification
number on the Final Approval Certificate contained in the
copy of the General Type Approval.
The validity of the Type Approval depends on this.
The Final Approval Certificate must be kept in the vehicle.
• Where the heater is installed in a special-purpose vehicle
(e.g. a vehicle for transporting hazardous goods), the
installation must comply with the regulations
applicable to such vehicles.
• Installation in the driver‘s cab or passenger compartment
of buses containing more than eight seats in addition to the
driver‘s seat is not permitted.
• The instruction sticker, “Switch off heater before filling up”
contained in the Scope of Supply for the heater, must be
displayed in a prominent position in the vehicle (near to the
fuel filler connection).
Directions for operation
• The heater must be switched off during refuelling.
• Operation of the heater in an enclosed space is
not permitted, e.g.
- garages
- underground car parks
- multi-storey car parks
Please note!
• All other installation requirements related to the General
Type Approval are printed in the relevant sections of these
Installation Instructions.
• The Final Approval Certificate is contained in the Operating
Instructions.
