Troubleshooting

The heater is equipped with an electronic diagnostic system which will detect fault conditions ranging
from poor gas or d.c. supply to internal heater malfunctions. In the unlikely event of a failure, the red
light on the control panel will flash a number of times, pause, and repeat until switched off. Count the
number of flashes and refer to the table below.

Gas Lockouts

Gas lockouts must be cleared by turning the selector knob from gas on (flame) position to off position
then back to the on position. The complete sequence of switch movements must be completed within
2.5 seconds for a lockout to be successfully cleared. If there is air in the gas line, e.g. after a gas bottle
change, the space heater may require several attempts before it lights.
4.2.6

Other Lockouts

If the lockout is caused when the unit is operated on electric, the lockout can be cleared by turning the
selector knob from electric on position to off position then back to the on position. The complete sequence
of switch movements must be completed within 2.5 seconds for a lockout to be successfully cleared.
Note: A cycling of the power supply to the unit will not clear a lockout. Some gas lockouts, e.g. ignition
lockout and combustion air faults will still permit use of the appliance in electric only operation.

Winterising

When using the heater in winter ensure the flues are not blocked by snow or fallen leaves etc. When
the Space Heater is not going to be used for along period of time, we recommend that the open end of
the combustion air and exhaust flue are covered to prevent ingress of leaves etc.
4-8
Check gas supply making sure there is gas in the bottle and no
blockage in the gas Ensure propane is used at temperatures below
+5 C. Clear lockout as described below.
Check the air ducts and vents are not blocked or restricted. We
recommend you wait at least 5 to 10 minutes to allow the heater
to cool before clearing lockout as described below.
Minimum operating voltage is 10v, maximum is 15v, when
measured at the heater. Check battery voltage. If between 10v
and 15v, check connections between heater and battery. Check
alternator or external battery charging. Clear lockout as described
below.
Check combustion air flue and exhaust flue for blockages.
