Had almost the same problem, but with heater shutting down completely 10 seconds after diesel pump starting. Rewired from my Aux Battery with heavier gauge wire and no more problems.
I just fixed my friend's one of these which had identical problems with no apparent reason. Where the wire harness exits the heater can become pinched where it bends out causing various wires to lose connection for the odd microsecond here and there. This shuts it down instantly and eventually shows an error for whichever wire\s that were 'pinched'. I simply pushed the harness back a bit into the heater a bit and made the wiring less stressed and all has been well. I discovered it while wiggling all the electrical looms while it was running until I found the dodgey bit.
The controller I have has no secret menu so I can’t adjust the settings. It’s refused to run after only 5 hours of use and was completely coked up, a clean later and it brought up 08 code after 3 attempts to start it. I then watched another video where it mentions the Alpine setting, I’ve put that on and it runs perfectly at high or low settings with no visible exhaust emissions. I can’t replace the hair I’ve pulled out but for now it’s fixed, hope that helps someone with the other version controller.
Hi Mark, Got one of these recently. Connected the unit, wired everything up. When started, the controller just flashes and does not turn on the module.
I just reconnected mine, not used since early June.... There is no display! Looks totally dead. Fuse OK, electric is getting from battery to the ring connectors that attach to the back of the heater. Is my control panel kaput?
excellent video, I have one question when I set up the clock and turn the power off in my RV all the settings stay except the time is there anything I need to do to preserve this setting?
I'm having a problem with my heater after 4 years of it running fine. I just switched the controler it came with that just had a knob to turn it up and down and a on and off button to the controller you have and now after a year it's blowing alot of smoke and shuts down. I cleaned it out and started it again it worked 1 day and did the same thing again. 😊
Mine was doing the same thing turned out to be the pump sticking. After tapping it a few times on a piece of wood started working OK again. Time will tell.
I had so much grief after I changed my controller on my 3 kilowatt heater. I tried many things, took it apart many times to clean, finally I had the right minimum and maximum pump and fan speed. now it works beautifully. My real problem had been too rich fuel to air mixture
those are not the default settings for a 2kw heater as Mr Mcluckie showed when he tested his lavanor pro 2kw heater it should be 0.9Hz to 1.0 Hz low and 3.0Hz to 3.1 Hz high, Ive done exactly what you have been doing with my 2kw heater and for changing the fan speed and high setting it produced lots of black smoke and overheated the pump and combustion chamber which hit 137 degrees C. you can read the case temperature on the newer lcd remote controls.it even produced 33 parts per million carbon monoxide from the glow plug breather hole which was dected in my living room. if you dont have a digital read out on your carbon monoxide alarm it will not alarm untiul it reaches 50 parts per million which is the British saftey standard time to leave the area. But 33 parts per milliuon will just kill you more slowley over a longer pewriod of time say 20 hours. the case temperature shouldnt get much hotter than 117 degrees C which redflects on its leaner burn settings than the 5kw model. once I returned to the 2kw default settings of 0.9 low and 3.1 high there have been no issues, this is why you are consuming as much fuel as a 5kw heater you are probably overfueling it wasting unburnt fuel out of the exhaust pipe and overheating the heater, maybe this is even damaging the motherboard if indeed you are running a 2kw heater?
Would the RPM that follows the Hertz setting still be the same however? I did think the Hertz seemed rather high for a 2kw unit. Thanks for the information.
Mine won’t go too default setting I have two heater one it bits because fan broke and I got sick of fixing one thing after another not my brand new one only two weeks cold has also packed in it’s one with blue screen swapped over screen control tried everything it will not prime and whatever I do nothing changes and Bly it will fire up with both screens as I tried both but won’t prime and all I get on both screens is a little clock that turns up on both , so fires up but pump not working but the pumps did work both of them surly both pumps just decided to brake I’m not having it , both are about to end up at the rubbish tip i have run out of patience I’ll never buy another one ever again , even tried swapping the brain boxes on both yet still wont prime I just can’t believe two pumps no longer work when the both did yesterday
I have same controller and probably same heater but on my controller is in advance setting one more setup sequence. On yours is after "SN-1" follows "Of". On my is .. "SN-1" follows "PS-5" and last is "Of". Is there someone who know what that "PS-5" means?
This is the "selection of the ignition plug power," the manual indicates: 1=35W, 2=40W, 3=45W, 4=80W, 5=85W, 6=90W, with SN-5 is the noted default. The manual also indicates that SN-1 is for 1 magnet on the fan or "different polarity of magnets or one magnet" and SN-2 is for two magnets "with the same polarity"
Wtf hz settings your use ???? 1.2hz at low. 3.6hz at topp. Fan speed Low 2200 High 4200-4600 Here you have the best settings you can have !!!!! Thos settings you use clogs up burner inside fully !!!! Take it up and clean it whit braik cleaner !!!! Use my settings and get filter down under fuel tank. And hard plast string from filter to burner. You have foult code sens it stopping. Open up and clean and give it diesel at normal like i told you here. You get it burning and saves both fuel and watt. Age dosent matter. Glowplug is fine sens you gat pass the first yellow light!!!! Fuel get air ore cant come true to burner. Thats ur problem. Best of luck. And all thats use hz settings over this gets clogged up. .easy to open and clean. Dont need to take out glowplug. Can take out after you spelt it in 2 parts for cleaning. Alsow can use boiling water to put in and brush it clean. Put together. Sheck nett around glowplug and see not clogs hangs at the nett ore glowplug. But that you see when splitted in 2. It is easy. And only 4 and 4 bolt. You be amazed after done this and see ur getting same heat and lower use of both fuel and watt
Does anybody notice that wireless symbol in the upper-right of his heater's display? If that is wireless then T H A T would be my first suspect (especially if there's no password to access using the app that anybody and his brother can download). I'll trade your E-08 error for my E-10 and raise you a return! ";-) I apparently broke mine on the third day.
I have watched a lot of videos and people have said that Celsius is standard. I have not found anyone who has Fahrenheit displayed. I made a little chart that I stuck on my wall with the equal temperature. Please let me know if you do find the Fahrenheit settings.
Filter ALWAYS filters from outside to core.... the bowl ALWAYS catches the crud going thru..... NEVER into the center of the filter screen flowing to the bowl
Had almost the same problem, but with heater shutting down completely 10 seconds after diesel pump starting. Rewired from my Aux Battery with heavier gauge wire and no more problems.
I dont have a padlock available when I long press the settings button even when entering 1688 pw any ideas?
E8 is coming up on mine,is that no fuel in the lines?and hear the clicking noise
Hardly anybody ever mentions if it's a 5-kilowatt or 3 kilowatt on these videos
Virtually no difference in the controller. The heater is also nearly identical. Main difference is the speed the pump send fuel into the heater.
@@securityguardcommand9792 main difference is the amount of fuel per pulse, not the pump speed.
@@StephenPeters it is the speed. The pulses are measured in hertz. How many pulses per second. Which translates into amount of fuel.

Cheers Mick will defo give that a go and let you know how i get on 👍🍷🍻
What do you do if your ‘Lock’ icon never comes up? After pressing the Settings Button?
The controller I have has no secret menu so I can’t adjust the settings. It’s refused to run after only 5 hours of use and was completely coked up, a clean later and it brought up 08 code after 3 attempts to start it.

I got same thing going on did you manage to fix?
Might be worth trying a new screen/atomizer and getting a little air out of the fuel line? But yeah, something is telling it to give up. :(
Thanks for comment i did have a look inside and took out the atomizer all clean just tried mainboard still no good pump next than wiring loom check
Hi Mark,
Got one of these recently. Connected the unit, wired everything up. When started, the controller just flashes and does not turn on the module.
contact supplier sounds faulty
Thank you for this!!! Saved my a lot of time.
I really like the "Secret Menu", but I guess it's not really a secret anymore!...... 😂
Dam was trying to keep that a secret 😁👍
Hello Mark! How do l get my forgotten pin or password or bypass pin or can l reset pin to original 1688??
My code won't work 1688 used to work is there another reset anywhere
I just reconnected mine, not used since early June....
There is no display! Looks totally dead. Fuse OK, electric is getting from battery to the ring connectors that attach to the back of the heater.
Is my control panel kaput?
excellent video, I have one question when I set up the clock and turn the power off in my RV all the settings stay except the time is there anything I need to do to preserve this setting?
Thanks dude! The reset saved my ass 👊

did a new motherboard fix it
still to come ordered one but never turned up
Put a multimeter on the pump plug to see if you have power
Cheers graham
Mine won’t go too default setting I have two heater one it bits because fan broke and I got sick of fixing one thing after another not my brand new one only two weeks cold has also packed in it’s one with blue screen swapped over screen control tried everything it will not prime and whatever I do nothing changes and Bly it will fire up with both screens as I tried both but won’t prime and all I get on both screens is a little clock that turns up on both , so fires up but pump not working but the pumps did work both of them surly both pumps just decided to brake I’m not having it , both are about to end up at the rubbish tip i have run out of patience I’ll never buy another one ever again , even tried swapping the brain boxes on both yet still wont prime I just can’t believe two pumps no longer work when the both did yesterday

It's the watts/power for the glow plug.
This is the "selection of the ignition plug power," the manual indicates: 1=35W, 2=40W, 3=45W, 4=80W, 5=85W, 6=90W, with SN-5 is the noted default.
The manual also indicates that SN-1 is for 1 magnet on the fan or "different polarity of magnets or one magnet" and SN-2 is for two magnets "with the same polarity"
Is your pump placed of 15°
yes
Hi. Do you (or anyody) know what Hertz means relating to the heater as its a measurement of frequency, frequency of what I wonder?
Pump frequency, the higher the number, the more fuel delivered.
Simple, its pump pulses of .02 of a spit of fuel per minute
1 Hz equals one second so a setting of 3 Hz is 3 pumps per second. The dosing is about .022ml per pulse
Mine will not do anything after pushing button 4 times
Hello, I am a manufacturer of parking heaters. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too
Which company do you work for?
For 8kv is the same?
I've been searching the world for 8kw settings. If you found them, could you please let me know what the settings are?
Hi , at the end of setting I press on end now I can’t enter to settings with the password, do you know how to change the password?
You have the pump level, it should not be level, it needs to be 33degrees....i had the same problem
9009 in another unlock code aswell.
Wtf hz settings your use ????
1.2hz at low.
3.6hz at topp.
Fan speed
Low 2200
High 4200-4600
Here you have the best settings you can have !!!!!
Thos settings you use clogs up burner inside fully !!!!
Take it up and clean it whit braik cleaner !!!!
Use my settings and get filter down under fuel tank. And hard plast string from filter to burner.
You have foult code sens it stopping.
Open up and clean and give it diesel at normal like i told you here.
You get it burning and saves both fuel and watt.
Age dosent matter.
Glowplug is fine sens you gat pass the first yellow light!!!!
Fuel get air ore cant come true to burner. Thats ur problem.
Best of luck.
And all thats use hz settings over this gets clogged up.
.easy to open and clean.
Dont need to take out glowplug.
Can take out after you spelt it in 2 parts for cleaning.
Alsow can use boiling water to put in and brush it clean.
Put together. Sheck nett around glowplug and see not clogs hangs at the nett ore glowplug. But that you see when splitted in 2.
It is easy. And only 4 and 4 bolt.
You be amazed after done this and see ur getting same heat and lower use of both fuel and watt
What?
u got junk in it i had to clean my pump out
i have the same problem
Hello eror E06 fix with this factory code
E06 is fan motor error

Can you please tell me how to switch from Celcius to Fahrenheit? Thanks
