Congratulation on your new DEFA WarmUp system
DEFA WarmUp warms the car and makes it easy to start, just as if it had already been driven a few miles. In a convenient, safe
and efficient way, DEFA WarmUp ensures that warm, happy drivers are also sage and environmentally friendly - Two important
factors that have helped make us world leaders on the market.
DEFA WarmUp is a simple, user-friendly system, operated by a control unit. By pressing a few buttons, the driver can make
sure the car is easy to start, the temperature inside is comfortable and that the battery is always fully charged throughout the
winter.
Environmentally friendly cars are becoming increasingly important to manufactures and environment-conscious car owners.
Regardless of its quality, if an engine is cold, it will produce higher exhaust emissions and consume more petrol. Only a pre-
heated engine can quickly heat up the catalytic converter and reduce emissions to any significant degree. As an added benefit,
a preheated engine uses far less petrol, is easier to start and is less subject to wear and tear.
DEFA WarmUp custom tailored car heating.
DEFA WarmUp is a 230V module-based vehicle heating system consisting of an engine heater (SafeStart), an interior heater
(Termina), a battery charger (MultiCharger 1203) and a control unit/timer (Futura).
Engine heater -
Warms the engine, both saving money and protecting the environment. Warm engines use less petrol and emit
considerably less CO
2
than cold engines. The engine heater is unique for your vehicle and must be ordered separately.
Interior heater
- Ensures a comfortable cabin temperature and ice free windows.
Control unit
- Easy to program, starts your DEFA WarmUp at the time you want, thus saving energy. The outside temperature
can guide the starting time in Auto mode.
Battery charger
- Ensures that the battery is fully charged at all times. All the energy consuming equipment of most modern
cars – electrically heated rear windows, heated seats, heated mirrors, car stereo etc. – means that the time spent driving to
and from work is often not sufficient to charge the battery.
DEFA MiniPlug -
The whole system is connected via the
DEFA MiniPlug.
Termina - Interior heater.
DEFA WarmUp is available in two Termina versions. Termina 1400W and Termina 2000W interior heater. Both interior heaters
got a 3 step power switch. Off, Step I and Step II.
The interior heater uses a PTC (PTC= Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating element, which adjusts the output depending
on the temperature of the incoming air. As the interior warms up, the output is reduced and as a result the power consumption
is also reduced. The interior heater has an automatic overheating fuse. If this fuse cuts out, it can be reset by unplugging the
heater and leaving it disconnected until it cools off (approximately 30 minutes). There is also a regular fuse for additional safety.
If this fuse melts, the heater must be returned to the factory for repair. To determine which fuse has been activated, please
refer to the troubleshooting table.
The interior heater is mounted inside the car with a specially designed mounting bracket.
The interior heater can easily be removed from its bracket by pulling it in the direction of the airflow. It is mounted by pushing
the round rear of the interior heater onto the bracket.
MultiCharger 1203 - Battery charger.
The electronic battery charger has the following characteristics:
• Charging current 3A at 12V.
• Power distribution to engine and interior heater.
• Advanced, battery friendly technology allows
continuous operation.
• Integrated relay for switching engine and interior heater
on and off.
• Temperature compensated charging voltage.
• Splashproof (IP 44).
• Light indication during charging.
The battery charger functions independently of the start timer for the car heating system. The charger switches to mainte-
nance mode when the battery is fully charged. It can also be used to advantage in the summer. The LED at the top of the
charger is illuminated when the charger is charging with full effect. It is not illuminated during maintenance mode. The LED
blinks when switching from charging to maintenance mode. This means that the LED will be illuminated when connected to
230V if the battery has been without charge for approximately 10 minutes.
