thank you.
Mel, you must of bought a cheap, cheap, cheap Chinese diesel heater because I’ve got a cheap Chinese diesel heater (notice only one cheap) and mine doesn’t beep also I can set the temperature to whatever I like and it turns itself on or off to maintain the temperature, love it.😊
I think that i rather have the Afterburner remote, i just wish that he made one that can control 2 heaters
I run the afterburner on my heater, best thing I've done, absolute brilliant bit of kit,
best aftermarket controller I'd say
around the same price as the bureck aswell.
Will that not take its toll on the battery? If it stopping and starting all the time?
Not really I suppose it depends on how well your van is insulated
Swap the controller with the one in the workshop
I’m lucky then because my Chinese heater control unit has a built in thermostat and the little remote can be used to also turn the temp up or down.
Are you sure you can’t change your settings on your controller from Hz to degrees? I’ve seen a few videos on here to show you how.
Yes you can but when the temperature is achieved it only puts the heater on low which carries on heating the van up
I have the same controller, it DOES modulate the heater up and down plus turns it on and off to keep the set temperature automatically. Simply set it to temp and not hertz. You dont need that new remote stat.
I’ll still give you a thumbs up for the video..fair play for taking the time to review it…but mate, just get in touch with Ray in Oz who makes the “Afterburner” there’s honestly no point buying anything else for CDH controller 👍🏼
Hi Mel. May I suggest looking in to an "Afterburner" for diesel heaters. Made by a chap in Austrailia. Basically the same thing as you have but it replaces the control panel itself.
Thanks I’ll check it out
@@BigVanSmallWorlddefo look into it Mel. I have one and it’s brilliant. Does what that bureck controller does but also has frost protect and WiFi so you can use your phone to control the heater 👍🏻
Where did you get your controller from please Mel ?
That new remote is not fit for purpose £80 are you mad!!! All its doing is making something thats simple over engineered!!
Question: hi Mel I am wanting to go full time in my micro van (well I say ‘want to’.. that’s another story).
However my insurance company will not insure for this without a fixed address.
What’s your take on this or work around if you have one.
My worry would be does it power down the unit correctly and on startup would take lots of juice when it fires back up again as these heaters demand lots of watts for starting up. So peter robs paul- gain maybe some juice and flatten your battery. Interesting device but to expensive. would be interesting to see how a power gen would show how many watts it use
Yes it powers down properly just as the original one does and no it’s not a problem when turned on
Good to know as Ive burnt out 2 glow pluga in cold waether due to shut offs. thanks mell@@BigVanSmallWorld
Hi mel that looks good so is it easy to pear together and how was ur battery as it shuts down and starts up mabe 4-8 times a night so it will take its toll on the glow plug and sootting up i have the maxspedgood one and it doesn't turn off but is very good on power a lot better that chinese ones
It’s all good I tested it for 2 weeks before making this video
£80 😮 If you have WiFi in your van get a BROADLINK RM4 PRO for about £50 and you have a thermostatic controller with multiple timers that you can switch on from anywhere. No trainer.
Sounds like automatic batery drainer. Better to just tune the heater down to 0.9hz 1500rpm run it low and save rhe start up batery drainage. 👍
I have one of those cheap Chinese diesel heaters and it switches itself off when it reaches the set temperature. It came with a little red remote controller with a tiny display. The remote allows you to set the temperature. And it doesn’t beep.
Turing the diesel heater on with the remote doesn’t always work, but turning it off does. (Much like my wife 😂)
Your right I've had one for a couple of years now.
I have the same little remote control 😂 I also connected mine to the starter battery and as you well know it also displays the voltage which helps to not kill the starter battery 🎉🎉🎉
I got one of those diesel heaters, I just press and hold the top left button, it changes the "H" settings to centigrade and allows me to set the temp and it self adjusts itself. 🤷♂️
Thanks for the video. Its a great product but like others if youre off grid it will sap the power. I have 300ah lithium and work nights, its surprising how much the heater uses
My eberspacher is heavy on power too when I have it on for long periods (24/7) if I was to venture away in this weather...and why I'm not away in this weather 😆
I'd be running a generator every day or clocking up too many miles just to put charge into the batteries, not worth the hassle.
I like my warm house during winter too much to rough it in my van tbh...feeling my age and getting softer as the decades go by.
@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN i have 540w of solar but it doesnt produce much this tim of the year. i stay on site and have no hook up so have to do with what i have. I do have a 2kw stanley genny that i have to run one night out of the 5 to boost my batteries for 6-8 hours as im limited to 15a. I do have a fridge and a freezer on 24/7 and I use a microwave daily as well as charging everything else i use. I think another 100ah lithium would be enough but i dont have room lol living in a van certainly makes you aware of power usage
I've got an Afterburner and it trumps your new remote X10 £86 all in from Australia 8 to 10 days
The afterburner copycat by Chinese diesel heater manufacturers. It's called hcalory5-8kw all features of afterburner + Bluetooth app and remote control. Total cost 112
This one is much less complicated to use
@@897aa33😂😂😂😂😂
Be honest Mel, you do quite a lot of click bait videos though 😅
I'm honestly surprised people haven't integrated home automation soft and hardware into their vans. The router is often the heart of these systems and most vans nowadays have them.
That bleep is quite annoying.
Oh no I don’t
@@BigVanSmallWorld 😂 do a vote, a short video and say thumbs up if you think you don't or thumbs down if we all think you do 🤣🤣
Personally I just turn mine on when needed and let it run I think this gadget starting the heater up when it feels like is going to hit your batteries really hard (most power is zapped on start up ) so unless you have mega solar and mega batteries especially during winter I dont feel this remote is a good idea. For me anyway. And as others have said my controller does all this anyway if I set it but I just turn mine on and leave it on.
Mel, you need to understand the heavy current drawn on startup, this will seriously impact battery life, it draws that current for several minutes at startup,
It’s not that bad lol it’s only 10 amps and for a minute
Hi mel love your videos as usua,l unfortunately the information you have given on this occasion is simply not correct as i have the same heater as you with the very same wall controller and the same key fob... Simple fix is to set your control unit's parameters to the temperature setting instead of the Herts setting and your old controller will do the exactly the same thing as the £80 waste of money controller..... keep the video's coming love them ....

Mine has a thermostat setting, I can set a temp , it maintains the temp, simple....no need for remote ??
Is yours a cheap Chinese diesel heater?
@@BigVanSmallWorld yeah, fitted by the conversion company, so not exactly sure of the make or model, but the controller looks the same , I wasn't sure if it had a built in thermostat or if they had placed a stat somewhere in the vehicle, however it seems to do a great job of keeping the heater temp appropriate to the temp within the van. If I set it at say 20degc , it holds it at that. I've checked the internal van temp a good few times to check it's accurate, it's normally within a degree or 2 of the set temp!
I’ve got an expensive diesel heater and I don’t think the thermostat control is the best way to use them.
The ramping up and down of the fan wakes me up because of the change in noise (it’s not massive but any change in white noise tone can wake you)
I just run it flat out til I’m warm, then turn it down to its lowest setting and leave it running to maintain comfort over night.
Anything else is just over complicating things.
Running it flat out next time clears any soot.
Hi Mel, keep up the great work. Quick question, which diesel heater are you using at the moment? So many mixed reviews about the Chinese heaters online.
How funny, I call my partner 'the chinese diseal heater and you now say there is an upgrade available
Ops 😂🤣
The tiny, surface mounted 'beep'-emitter within that control module is usually piping it's noise through a small pinhole, molded into the side of it's plastic housing. Very similar to those electronic devices that have a 'reset' hole where you insert a pin to reset a device; it might even be only a slit or recessed indent upon the module's plastic housing.
Anyhoo...I wanted to suggest you can locate this emitter 'hole'/orifice on the housing and smear a bit of putty...a dab of regular white glue...or even a sticky adhesive label(..like the little 'fresh produce I.D.#', peel-'n-stick badges on fresh fruit..)-->OVER this emitter hole.
It will dampen & muffle that "Beeeep!" noise down to a faint, bearable level well enough. I've done this on many devices over the years.
Otherwise, darn good info on Chinese diesel heaters for vanlife'ing...👍
Great gadget. When the wood burner dies down at 4 in the morning, it will save me getting out of bed to load up the wood burner the new thermostat will kick and turn on the diesel heater.
I’ve got the same diesel heater you’ve got Mel and you can swap between temp controlled or on/off ?? It’s in the settings to switch between the two
Does this need configuring to my diesel heater controller or does it just work out of the box?
Swap the remote with the one in the workshop sorted John in cranwell T4 camper
Wheres your old woman, aint seen her lately lol
Firstly if you’re referring to Becky she isn’t mine secondly she most definitely isn’t old lol 😂
Well, his daughter has also vanished😱
Old Chinese diesel heaters have a thermostat in the control panel, it's very easy to change the temperature settings
Bit worried where the daughter has gone?
Funny
I reckon the best uograde you can get is a GSM control module, so you can send a text from your phone to turn on and off.
Mel, relocate your heater controller into a cupboard now you have this new remote control. You won’t get that flood light from the display lighting up the whole van. 👍
I think you'll find Mel's Scared of the dark ... So that Night-Light keeps him Reassured that the Bogey-Man won't get him by surprise
I wired in a simple on/off switch to the live feed on the control unit just switch it off when not in use
The new maXpeedingrods 5kw diesel heaters does that on the app Mel
Hi Mel what is the range of that new remote? And will it work from outside the vehical? Im asking as im bulding a heater in a case for my landy camper, the heater is going live on the roof rack and be piped in through a window for the colder months, and this would be ideal as an internal thermostat to control it.
For someone who lives outside his girlfriend house and says he lives in a van full time ,,,,dream on with this gadget ,stopping and starting on leisure battery's.
Don’t matter where I park my van I don’t have leisure batteries I use a Bluetti AC200 max with 2 B230 batteries there way more efficient than 12v batteries 😘
Rip the speaker out the control unit
Mel. There is new chinese diesel heater same price but with bluetooth app fully programmed. Hcalory 5-8kw
Oh really that’s interesting ill have to check it out thanks 👍
Hi Mel
How did you stop the ticking on the pump?
Cheers
Not worth the price tag in my opinion. Great gadget but overpriced
Really!!! Think about how much time and effort plus the investment that went into making this product possible
Nice score... good one.. thank you.. Sometimes in the middle of the night I get up for a pea pod break but have a peanut butter sandwich ... 🙂 I have one of those oreange all in one units ... and I wonder if the thermostat will work with it.. I am fairly happy with it.
Check out there website 👍
Just cut the wire to the beeper speaker
Yeah done 👍 😂👍
Just to let you know these are not compatible with all Chinese diesel heaters, rather it's how the original remote works. If your original remote has a screen on it I don't think it will work.
Also you can set the swing, that's the difference between the temperature it comes on at and the temperature it goes off at. If you set a larger difference then the heater will cycle on and off less.
not true on that first remote mine has a +and - to turn the heater up or down
Yes but the heat just keeps coming no matter how hot it gets in the van
@@BigVanSmallWorld this is true does it cool down like its ment to or just switch it off there something on the Chinese heater called the after burner that does the same thing been about a couple of years now
Unproven and overpriced.plus constantly turning on and off the heater will eat you batteries nearly 4 minutes at 10 amps on startup and 10 amps for 1 minute on shutdown,No thanks.
cool device
Unfortunately this is a rip off of The Afterburner. Pretty sure it his idea
Where do you get these thermostat
Link in the description
Great idear mel
Mel I use the first controller to turn the temperature up an down an on an off
We’ve got a maxspeedingrods heater and it’s Bluetooth so has an App which does all this. Temp/on-off etc BUT being able to leave it on and know it’ll keep warm is GENIUS!!!
We also have a remote control but can’t use it as it makes our lights strobe. 😅
I’ve got Maxspeedingrods and it doesn’t seem to maintain a temperature.
The best I can do is set it to 5° and it just stays on low but just keeps pumping out heat, we end up too hot through the night 😕
❤❤❤
Geeez mate ..all this witchery smokin mirrors.. jolly good carryon pip pips 😍😎😁
Thanks 👍😂👍
Just disconnect the beeper Mel!.
Bloody brilliant Mel!!
Thanks Chrissy a lot of people are commenting that the Aussie after burner is the best one. I wouldn’t mind trying one out.Do you have one?
@@BigVanSmallWorld hi Mel. No i don't have one ...sorry. But I'm interested! 😀
Hi Mel. I have the same controller and remote fob and mine doesn't beep! Could it be in the advanced settings menu?
Unfortunately I have a 2 kw heater and has no advance settings
@@BigVanSmallWorld Hi Mel. That's strange coz most heaters I've worked on have the hidden advanced settings. Just in case you haven't tried it, here's what I do ... Press the Menu (gear) button 3 times to get to the passcode screen. The passcode screen will show four underscore lines “----”. Use the arrow buttons to select the correct number and then press “OK” to advance to the next blank underscore. The pass code is 1688
When you press “OK” after the last number the screen will change to the advanced settings menu.
Great video Mel
Ordered 🙂 what import duty cost on this ?
Where do I get one of these thanks
Looks a great piece of kit thankyou
It really is!
Mate just buy an ‘Afterburner’
Good bit of old fashioned engineering on this video mel ,seek and get it sorted asap .....another great video sir 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
at 80 quid ,it,s a bit expensive ,considering i only paid 115 for the diesel heater . if it was cheaper i would get on .
Sorry wouldn’t know bud mine dosent beep. Looks a great thing to have for keeping you warm all day and especially in the night. Great review 😊
No worries I’ve sorted it out and yes buddy get yourself one you won’t be disappointed 👍
I can shut that beep off in 2 seconds flat. Jam a screwdriver through the buzzer. job done.
