Installation of wiring of the heater.
Install electric harnesses of the heater according to the diagram of electrical
connections of the heater (see operation manual of the heater).
When installing electrical harnesses exclude the possibility of them being heated.
Install all the wire harnesses and electrical elements in dry and protected places. No
deformation or moving of wires is permissible, when the vessel is operated.
WARNING! Install electrical harnesses only when fuses are dismantled.
A vessel battery or an auxiliary battery powers the heater. Control the charge of the
battery on a regular basis. It is recommended to disconnect the heater from the battery to
avoid its discharge during long dockage or storage of the vessel.
Do not disconnect the
heater from power before the purge cycle ends.
3.8
Installation of the control panel.
The control panel is intended for control of operation of the heater. Install the panel in
a convenient (appropriate) place protected from water. The panel is attached using double-
sided adhesive tape or a standard bracket. The wire may be brought out of the panel casing
through the back cover or the partition of the inner surface of the panel casing. Before
installation degrease the surface, where the panel is to be installed. Remove protective film
from adhesive tape and install the panel on the prepared surface.

Testing of the heater after installation
The heater can be put in operation only when the system has been fully installed!
After installation, check:
-
tightening of clamps;
-
reliability of attachment of electric contacts of harnesses and assemblies of the heater.
Fill the fuel main line with fuel, preferably using a fuel-priming device, which can be
ordered from official dealers. When the fuel system is filled, check that the fuel supply line
is sealed.
Start the heater and check its operation in minimum and maximum modes. Check
tightness and sealing of all connections of air ducts and fuel supply lines.
Run the heater in maximum mode for about 2 hours. During the first launch, the
exhaust pipe might emit some smoke for a short period of time.
The launch process of the heater starts with under a minute long power-on-self-test.
At that time heater self-checks itself for errors and makes no sound. After that it starts the
purge of the combustion chamber to remove any fuel vapours remaining from the
previous cycle of work. After the purge ends, starts the process of ignition and
continuation of the set mode.
Stop the heater. When the heater is stopped, the fuel supply stops, and the combustion
chamber and the heat exchanger are vented to reduce temperature.
After first launch, launch the heater while the vessel engine is operating, make sure
that the heater is working and there are no problems with electrical, and fuel connections.
