Introduction
General information
The mobile unit of the radio remote control has a simple control structure.
With only 4 keys, it is possible to set all
functions, change them if necessary and
program the preset times.
The switching pulses of the mobile unit
have an outdoor range (direct visual
contact) of up to 1000 metres. External
interference, local conditions and dense
building development in the surrounding
area shorten the range.
displays can appear which are described
in the chapter “What to do if …?” from
page 23.
If you and the mobile unit are outside the
range you do not have to do without the
heater.
The preset mode is then available as an
alternative.
If a vehicle was disconnected from the
power supply (battery disconnected) and
the power supply is reinstated, the time
appears when the mobile unit is activated.
This must then be adjusted. See description on page 9 “Set weekday, time and
operating time”.
Operation of the mobile unit is described
in detail from page 7.
The mobile unit
should always be
pointed towards
the vehicle when
activated or for
data transmission.
Depending on
use and ambient
effects however,

and in AIRTRONIC air heaters the heater’s
blower is directly controlled by by-passing
heating mode.
Please note!
• “Ventilate” mode is not provided for
upgraded independent heaters.
• If you have any further questions regarding “ventilate” mode please contact your
installation workshop or call the service
phone number (see page 26).

tion for the selected function.
General information on the add-on unit
An add-on unit can be e. g. a second
heater or parking air conditioning.
It is also possible to combine a heater
with a blower. The blower is used to
circulate air within the inside of the
vehicle.
The heaters or blower can be operated
simultaneously or independently of each
other.
The “add-on unit” function must be activated by the workshop.
15
Operation and Adjustment
General information on programming the preset time
The mobile unit of the radio remote
control can be used to program 3 preset
times.
The 3 preset times can either all be
spread over one weekday or be spread
between different weekdays.
In water heaters and a temperature sensor connected to the stationary unit the
heater start is automatically calculated
depending on the measured ambient
temperature and the selected heating
level (ECO or HIGH).
The operating time can be between 5 and
60 minutes before the programmed departure time, whereby operation is always
stopped 5 minutes after the programmed
departure time. Therefore the minimum
possible operating time is 10 minutes and
the max possible operating time is 65
minutes.
The operating time set in the “set time”
menu (page 8) is ineffective in this case.
In all other configurations the start takes
place according to the preset operating
time.
Please note!
• The preset times are always departure
times, even if runtime calculation is
deactivated.
• You cannot program more than 3 preset
times.
• The maximum operating time of 65 minutes for automatic runtime calculation is
a factory setting. If necessary, this can
be reduced by the installation workshop
to a minimum of 15 minutes.
Identical preset times
If several identical preset times are
programmed for a specific weekday in
programs 1, 2 or 3 the last entered preset
time is valid. When the mobile unit of
the radio remote control is activated the
saved identical preset times are deleted.
If identical preset times are programmed
for different weekdays there is not conflict.
Overlapping of preset times
Example:
You have set “heat” mode for your
departure time on a weekday to 13 hrs.
At the same time “ventilate” mode has
been programmed for 12.45 hrs on the
same day and with an operating time of
15 minutes. What happens?
The radio remote control calculates
the heater start for “heat” mode which,
depending on the ambient temperature
measured, can lie between 5 and 60
minutes before the programmed departure time. If the calculated heater start is
after 12.45 hrs, the vehicle is ventilated
between 12.30 hrs and 12.45 hrs and is
then heated.
If the calculated heater start is before
12.45 hrs, the vehicle is heated until
12.30 hrs, then the heater is stopped and
the heater switches to “ventilate” mode.
After the set operating time for “ventilate”
mode has expired the heater switches off.
