5.4 Installation of Electrical Components
5.4.1 Main wire harness
The connection diagram for the main wire harness and
heater as Fig.19. The wires of the main device that
require connection to external circuits have been
gathered into wire bundles, which can be laid to suit the
positions of the various components, and fixed in
appropriate locations. The distance between two fixing
points shall not exceed 300 mm.
5.4.2 Battery connection
Connect the RED wire on the fuse box to the PLUS
terminal of the vehicle's battery; connect the BLACK wire
to the MINUS terminal.
5.4.5 Avoid short-circuit
The end of each wire shall be wrapped with insulating
tape to prevent short circuits.
5.4.3 Fuel pump connection
Connect the fuel pump leads to the fuel pump.
5.4.4 LCD control panel
Install the control panel in a position allowing conve-
nient operation, arranging it to make observation of
the indicator easy, thus spermitting convenient
identification of the heater’s operating status (eg
operating/stopped). The terminals of the control panel
lead wires shall be inserted into the socket, then
connected to the main harness connector using its
self-locking mechanism.
Any wire bundle exposed outside the vehicle body or outside
a wiring duct must be protected with corrugated piping.

5.5 Installation of Combustion Air System
5.5.2 Installing the pipes
Only the combustion air pipe and exhaust pipe provided
with the heater may be used. The air inlet is an alumi-
num pipe bellows, the exhaust is a stainless steel pipe
bellows. These must be installed correctly, and in
particular CANNOT BE INTERCHANGED during installation
(eg the aluminum pipe bellows is only suitable for use as
the inlet, and cannot tolerate hot exhaust gasses.)
Please use the clamps provided to mount them tightly.
5.5.3 Direction of pipes
Both the air inlet pipe and exhaust pipe shall exit the
heater in an outwards and downwards direction. If
either of these pipes must be bent, the sum of the
angles of all its curves shall not exceed 270°. Please
refer to Fig.20, below.
The pipes openings shall not face towards the direction
of the running vehicle, or be positioned in way that
allows blockage by slurry, snow or dirt.
- Air for combustion must be fresh air sucked in from outside the vehicle; fumes from combustion must be discharged to outside the
vehicle via the exhaust pipe.
- The combustion air intake must remain free from any blockage at all times.
- The combustion air intake must be positioned to be sure that exhaust fumes cannot be sucked in mixed with the combustion air.
- The combustion air intake system shall be installed sloping slightly downwards.
- Where pipes pass through the vehicle’s outer walls or underside, please take measures to prevent entry of water splash into these pipes.
