The fuel fired heater needs about 3 minutes to go to the normal operation after the 
startup. If your trip is planned to be shorter, it is recommended to use function 
called “one-time boost disable”. This preserves the heater from premature
clogging.  Turn on the ignition, press the button, then start the engine. Now the 
heater will not operate with the engine while don’t you enable boost heat mode 
again.

Connection 

RCP may be connected in two ways. Plug-n-play connection is easy type of 
connection which not requires special skills. Permanent connection is 
recommended for professional installation. It needs at least some experience in car 
electronics. Read installation manual for detailed connection schemes.

Additional Functions

By default RCP is adjusted to execute basic functions, such as start of the heater by 
using Ford key or additional button, stop of the heater by using the button, control
of boost heat mode, etc. To turn on additional functions (a possibility to stop the 
heater by using Ford key, battery monitoring, indication by turn signals in rear-
view mirrors, extended control of boost heat mode, etc.) you need enter the module 
into programming mode and activate corresponding setting. 

Programming button and the brakes pedal are used to enter programming 

mode and to the settings change. Plug-n-play cable is equipped with preinstalled
