Section 8, Operating the Heating Module

8.5 Activating the Burner (Primary) and 
AC Heat (Secondary) from the Remote 
Operating Panel 

Activating the Burner (Primary Heat Source)  

 

The burner switch on the Remote Operating Panel controls the 

ON/OFF of the diesel burner (primary heat source).  When the 
burner switch is turned ON, the diesel portion of the 
POLAR™HD Heating Module will turn ON after ten seconds.  
The Burner LED will turn ON when the diesel burner has been 
activated. The burner will continue to operate until the coolant 

in the POLAR™HD Heating Module reaches the set operating 
temperature range.  At this point, the diesel burner will turn 
OFF.  If the POLAR™HD Heating Module coolant should cool 
down below this temperature range, the burner will again 
commence firing and will continue until either the burner 
switch on the remote panel is turned OFF or the temperature 

range is again achieved.  If the burner switch on the remote 
panel is turned OFF, the burner stops and the POLAR™HD 
Heating Module enters a two minute cool down stage prior to 
completely shutting down. 

Activating the AC Immersion Element(s) (Secondary Heat 

Source) 

 

Place the AC power switch on the Remote Operating Panel to 
either the one element or two element position.  The AC Heat 
(green) LED will turn ON indicating the AC element(s) are 
energized and the coolant is being electrically heated.  They 

will continue to operate until the coolant in the POLAR™HD 
Heating Module reaches the set operating temperature range. 
At this point, the elements will turn OFF.  If the POLAR™HD 
Heating Module coolant should cool down below this 
temperature range, the AC elements will again be energized 

and will continue until either the AC switch on the remote 
panel is placed in the OFF position or the temperature range 
is again achieved.  If the AC element switch on the remote 
panel is turned OFF, the AC elements are de-energized and 
the AC Heat (green) LED turns OFF.
