9.1.2.1 Installation of the SG 1585 control unit as a 

replacement for the SG 1578 control unit

General information

The SG 1578 control unit for the NGW 300 and LGW 300 
heaters is no longer available and was replaced by the  
SG 1585 control unit.

The conversion kits consist of  the SG 1585 control unit 
and he vehicle-specific adapter wiring harness.

Conversion to the SG 1585 control must be carried out in 
accordance with the following procedures.

ATTENTION

Replacement of the control unit must be done in an un-
energised state. Ignition must be switched off.

The sequence of procedures  must be followed abso-
lutely so that no fault entries are made in the control 
unit and conditionally upon that, as the case my be,  
locking the heater is avoided.
(Fault entries are caused at the control unit by open in-
lets and outlets  among other things

A lock on the heater can only be removed by staff  who 
have been trained by Spheros.

Implementation

1. Ensure that the heating system is switched off.

Where necessary, switch off the heating system by 
activating the main switch, the timer or the aircondi-
tioning system and wait until it stops running.

2. Disconnect the vehicle’s and the control unit’s plugs 

from the voltage supply.

3. Where necessary, disconnect the connectors  between 

the vehicle and the control unit and control lines.

4. Disconnect the connector to the circulating pump.

5. If required, disconnect the connector from the control 

unit to the gas pressure regulator.

6. Disconnect the connector plug between the control 

unit and the heater.

7. Remove the control unit and retaining spring.

8. Attach the adapter wiring harness to the new control unit.

9. Slide the new control unit with a connector to the hea-

ter downwards into the guiding groove of the burner’s 
protective hood until it snaps in place in the locking 
groove.

10. Attach the connector plug between the adapter wiring 

harness and the heater.

11. Attach the connector plug between the adapter wiring 

harness and the gas pressure regulator/solenoid.

12. Attach the connector plug between the adapter wiring 

harness and the circulating pump.

13. Where necesary, attach the connector plug between the 

vehicle (control line) and the adapter wiring harness.

14. Attach the connector plug between the vehicle’s 

voltage  supply and the adapter wiring harness.

PLEASE NOTE

Now, the heating system can be activated by turning 
on the main switch, the timer or the airconditioning sy-
stem.

After all work has been completed, a trial run must be 
carried out (start-up, firing operation, control pause  
and after-run).

PLEASE NOTE

Conversion bags for  MAN include 
the SG 1585 (ID no. 9007655) 
without circulation pump monitoring.
