Please ensure you read through these
operating instructions carefully before you
start to set and use the timer.
These operating instructions contain
important information, which you require
to set and use the timer.
Please store these operating instructions
in a safe place so you can refer to them at
a later date.
Safety information
Danger!
– All information and notes, in particular
the safety information in the heater’s
technical description must be observed
at all times!
– The heater must be switched off when
refuelling.
– Only use original spare parts.
General information
The timer 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.
We recommend use of the temperature
sensor, available as an option, in order to
be able to utilise all the timer’s functions.
If a vehicle was disconnected from the
power supply (battery disconnected) and
the power supply is reinstated, the time
appears when the timer is activated. This
must then be adjusted. See description on page 8 “Set weekday, time and
operating time”.
Operation of the timer is described in
detail from page 6.
Purpose
The EasyStart T timer is used to switch
on / off and preset the switching on time,
operating time and operating mode of the
heater and / or add-on unit installed in
the vehicle.
Please note!
Improper use and use outside the specified area of use cancels all liability and
warranty.

Operation and Adjustment
General notes on ”ventilat“ mode
If the symbol is not displayed in the
menu bar, „ventilate“ mode is only possible in the heater for the heater models
under certain prerequisites:
• With the water heaters HYDRONIC
(B / D 4 W S, B / D 5 W S,
B / D 4 W SC and B / D 5 W SC): the
“heat / ventilate” switch (Order No. 22
1000 31 89 00) must be installed.
• With the air heaters AIRTRONIC /
AIRTRONIC M: the mini controller
(Order No. 22 1000 32 07 00) must be
installed.
Please note!
“Ventilate” mode is not provided for
upgraded independent heaters.
Select „ventilate“ or „heat“ for the
heater models listed above and
switch on.
Use the “heat / ventilate” switch or the
mini controller to select “ventilate” or
“heat” mode and then switch on the
heater with the timer.
Switching between “ventilate” and
“heat” mode
If you switch mode while “ventilate” or
“heat” is running, you must use the timer
to switch of the heater (see page 12 and
10).
If the heater is switched off in “heat”
mode the heater runs on. Once this afterrun has ended use the “heat / ventilate”
switch or the “mini controller” to switch to
“ventilate” mode. Then use the timer to
switch the heater back on.
After the heater has been switched off in
“ventilate” mode, you can immediately
switch to “heat” mode using the “heat /
ventilate” switch or the “mini controller”.
Then use the timer to switch the heater
back on.
Switch of “ventilate” or “heat” mode
Use the timer to switch off the heater (see
page 12 resp. 10).
Please note!
• “Ventilate” or “heat” mode must be
selected before switching on the
heater.
• In the “ventilate” switch setting of
HYDRONIC water heaters the vehicle
blower is directly controlled by bypassing heat mode and in AIRTRONIC air
heaters the heater’s blower is bypassed
in the same way.
• If you have any further questions regarding “ventilate” mode please contact your
installation workshop or call the service
phone number (see page 24).

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 timer 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 if a temperature
sensor is connected to the timer the
heater start is automatically calculated
depending on the measured room 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.
In this case, the operating time set in the
“set time” menu (page 8) is ineffective.
In all other configurations the start takes
place according to the preset operating
time.
Please note!
• The preselected times are always
departure times, even if runtime calculation is deactivated.
• You cannot program more than 3 preselection 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 timer is activated,
the identical preset times saved are
deleted.
If identical preset times are programmed
for different weekdays there is not conflict.
Overlapping of preset times
Example:
You have set the “Heater” operating mode
on a weekday for your departure time at
13 hrs. At the same time the ”Ventilation“
mode has been programmed for the
same day for 12.45 hrs and with an operating time of 15 minutes. What happens?
The timer calculates the start of heating
for the ”heater“ 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 “ventilation” mode.
After the set “ventilation” mode operating
time has expire the heater switches off.
