Basic Functions

1.

To start/stop the heater by using additional remote control, see 
documentation for the remote control. The functions of the remote control 
depend on its possibilities, connection schemes and module’s settings.

2.

To start the heater by using car’s remote control key press “Unlock” button 
2 times and then press “Lock” button. Time intervals between presses must 
not exceed 20 seconds. The excess of time interval restarts the counter of 
“Unlock” button presses. 

If the car is equipped with factory alarm system, 

intervals between button pressings should be at least 6 seconds long, and 
final “Lock” pressing should be performed twice

. Car confirms reception of 

commands from the key with hazard signals flashing. 

As a result of entering

a sequence

the car should flash 2 times with long flashes, then 2 times with 

short flashes.

3.

By default RCP adjusted only to switch on the heater by using remote 
control key. To switch off the heater from the key, change the setup item 
3.1. As both the commands use the same combination of “Unlock” presses, 
you should know heater status before you send a command. Therefore it is 
recommended to activate setup items 6.4 – 6.6 to see heater status by the 
means of direction indicators flashing in rearview mirrors. The possibility to 
stop the heater remotely may be useful in case of trip cancelation, including 
one programmed in the CIP.

4.

It is possible remotely disable startups of the heater, programmed in the CIP. 
Use additional remote control to send stop command when the heater is idle 
(not possible with car’s remote control key).  Starting the heater any way or 
turning the ignition to “on” position enables CIP programs again. 

5.

Additionally installed button has several functions. Current function is 
defined by the heater status, the ignition status and the engine status (see 
table. 1)

When the ignition is turned off, the button is used for immediate start or 

stop of the heater. Button pressing changes the heater status to another one: 
switches off the operated heater or switches on the idle heater.

When the ignition is turned on, button press keeps current condition of 

the heater after the engine start. So, if the heater has operated before the engine 
start, it may continue to operate after the engine start (in the boost heat mode). 
If the heater has been idle before engine start, button pressing keeps heater 
status (heater doesn’t start in boost heat mode) after engine start. These 
functions are called quick enabling and disabling of boost heat mode 
respectively. Being activated these functions act for the current ignition cycle. 
Turning the ignition off cancels function activity.

When the engine runs, the button is used to quick enable of the boost heat 

mode (if the boost heat mode was disabled). 

Warning!

The parking heater must not be operated at filling stations, near 

sources of combustible vapours or dust or in enclosed spaces
