The second heat source is an electric heating element. It is important to note the difference in the two systems.
The
electric heating element has a 5000 BTU output
and should be used only to help maintain the temperature once the
diesel burner has brought the system up to proper operating heat levels. From a cold start, the 5000 watt electrical
heating element will not operate the system alone.
For heating, your unit is divided into three “zones” on your thermostat or your climate screen, if your coach is equipped
with the SilverLeaf system.
The “Furnace” mode will appear in all four zones, but only three are active.
Zone 1 - Dash, Living Room, and Kitchen Convectors
These convectors are located under the dash and kitchen cabinets, and control heat in the cockpit, living room, and
kitchen areas. The dash mounted convector is the only one in your unit that has a two speed fan. The switch controlling
the fan speed is located in the front overhead cabinet adjacent to the diesel boiler switch.
Zone 2 - Middle AC and Heat Pump
There are no Oasis furnace functions on this zone.
Zone 3 - Bathroom Convectors
These convectors are located in the bathroom cabinetry and stool room. The fan switch for the stool room (marked
“HEAT”) must be in the “ON” position to provide heat in the stool room. In order to receive heat in the
Stool Room, a
“rear” zone (bathroom or bedroom areas) must be chosen on your thermostat or your climate screen, if your coach is
equipped with the SilverLeaf system.
Zone 4 - Bedroom Convectors
These convectors are located throughout the cabinetry and walls of the rear bedroom area.
To activate the Oasis
heating
system, select your heat source, either diesel or electric, using the switches in the front overhead cabinet
or
through the
SilverLeaf system.
Once you have selected a heat source (diesel or electric), and the boiler is operational,
set thermostat
for the desired zones.
For more information about your Comfort Control system, please refer to the Thermostat sub-category or the
Climate Control section within the SilverLeaf Functional Guide in Newgle.
The Oasis 'diesel burner' heat source provides approximately 50,000 BTU’s of heat, and is designed to start
and operate the system at full capacity. The electrical heating element provides approximately 5000 BTU’s of
heat.
The system will turn convector fans off and on according to the temperature settings.
These brief operation instructions are for quick reference only. Any quick start instructions provided should
not take the place of the complete Operation Manual provided by this item's manufacturer.
Never attempt to modify this furnace. Fire, explosion, asphyxiation, or carbon monoxide poisoning may occur.
If the furnace malfunctions, consult a trained service technician.
The Oasis system uses two different sources for heat. The primary heat source for the Oasis system, and most efficient,
is the diesel burner, which uses diesel fuel from the fuel tank to burn and create heat. The output of the diesel burner is
50,000 BTU’s.
