3 Functional Description

Heaters with control unit 1572D only
Gradient evaluation

In case of low coolant flow or poor coolant circuit venting 
the temperature quickly increases in heating operation.
If gradient evaluation exists, the control unit recognises 
the quick temperature increase and automatically sets the 
upper switching threshold to a lower value. This prevents 
residual heat triggering the overheating protection.

Control idle period

A rise in temperature above the upper switching point 
makes the solenoid valve in the fuel pump shut off the fuel 
supply initiating the run-down. The flame extinguishes, 
the combustion air fan and the circulation pump however 
continue their operation. After approximately 90 seconds 
(120 seconds for heaters with control unit 1572D) 
run-down is completed with deactivation of the 
combustion air fan.

The circulation pump remains in operation during the 
control idle period. The operating indicator light is on.

3.3

Switch Off

Switching off the heater stops combustion. The operating 
indicator light goes out and run-down commences. The 
combustion air fan and circulation pump are deactivated 
after approximately 90 to 120 seconds (120 seconds for 
heaters with control unit 1572D). 

Reactivation of the heater during run-down is permitted. 
The burner immediately resumes operation after the 
run-up time.

3.4

Power Save

With power save on the control temperatures of the 
heating circuit are kept low. Combustion performance is 
not reduced. 

This results in a reduced heat radiation loss when limited 
heating performance is required (e.g. in heat hold opera-
tion) cutting down fuel consumption.

3.5

Auxiliary Heating Operation (heaters 
with control unit 1572D only)

When te61 is connected and powered (engine is 
running), the heater operates in the auxiliary heating 
mode. 
The power save mode is during auxiliary heating 
automatically deactivated by the control device.

The lower temperature threshold for reactivation of the 
burner after control idle period is raised above that for 
normal operation and is automatically shifted up or down 
dependent on the combustion time of the heater 
(hysteresis adaptation). 

Hysteresis adaptation (example)

After the first control idle period, the lower operating point 
is 78°C.
Combustion operation is started when the temperature 
falls below this threshold.
The length of combustion time until the upper operating 
point is exceeded should be 120 seconds.
If combustion lasts more than 120 seconds, the lower 
operating point is increased by 1 Kelvin, up to max.  80°C.
If combustion time is less than 120 seconds, the lower 
operating point is lowered by 1 Kelvin, down to minimally 
70°C.

3.6

Heater Lockout (heaters with control 
unit 1572D only)

After the heater has performed eight start attempts due to 
a malfunction or after five  subsequent flame-outs the 
heater enters a lockout and start attempts are suspended. 
This lockout is superior to the normal error lockout. 
Unlocking is performed by starting the heater and 
disconnection of the main power supply of the heater 
during error run-down. 

3.7

Switch-off upon Failure (heaters with 
control unit 1572)

The heater switches off automatically when detecting one 
of the following malfunctions.

The operating indicator light goes off. Combustion air fan 
and circulation pump are deactivated after approximately 
90 to 120 seconds. 

Malfunctions during switch-on

short or open circuit of temperature sensor.

short or open circuit of flame sensor.

open circuit of solenoid valve.

Malfunctions during start-up:

flame detected by photo control circuit prior to high 
voltage igniter spark.

no flame detected after approximately 25 seconds 
after heater start.

Malfunctions during heating operation:

low voltage threshold of approximately 20V violated 
for a duration of 12 seconds.

no combustion for more than 10 seconds.
