Vehicle Heaters – Technical Documentation | 3

DEAR CUSTOMER,

Thank you for purchasing an EasyStart Call telephone remote control. With this product you have a convenient and innovative option for controlling your Ebers­pächer parking heater. These operating instructions supplement the explanations provided by your JE service part­ner who installed the heater and once again summarise the functions of the EasyStart Call.
USE
The Eberspächer heater installed in your vehicle is controlled remotely via telephone with DTMF data transmission or via SMS in a simple and easy manner.
All mobile and landline telephones that allow multi-frequency dial tones (DTMF) or an SMS to be sent can be used as control units.
Depending on the heater connected, it is pos­sible to choose between heating and ventilat­ing modes.
Preselected heating mode (timer program­ming) is only possible via SMS.
The interior temperature can be requested and displayed by installing the temperature sensor.

SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER!
Pacemakers and hearing aids can be affected by radio waves and their function disrupted.
Î Get your doctor to check your pacemaker
or hearing aid specialist to check your
hearing aid for susceptibility to faults. SIM card, SIM card holder and accessories are small components and could be swallowed by children – risk of death!
Î Do not allow children access to the small
components of the EasyStart Call.
CAUTION!
When EasyStart Call is placed into operation, all data on the SIM card are deleted.

GENERAL INFORMATION

 To operate the EasyStart Call a SIM card
from a mobile telephone network operator is required; this is not included in the scope of supply. For additional information on the SIM card, please see the installation instructions.
 Before starting up the EasyStart Call,
carefully read through these operating instructions and the Technical Description of your Eberspächer heater.
 Costs (telephone charges) are incurred
when you make a call and send an SMS, and when you receive “heater feedback” via SMS.

1 INTRODUCTION
 If the EasyStart Call is called in a foreign
country, additional costs are charged (roaming charges).
 If the EasyStart Call is called in the border
area with a neighbouring country, roaming charges can also be incurred due to overlapping network coverage.
 Note the location of your vehicle with
respect to the call setup.
 If this EasyStart Call cannot connect to a
GSM network (e.g., the customer parks for a longer period of time in an underground car park) the EasyStart Call attempts to connect to the GSM network at continu­ously increasing intervals until a connection setup is successful.
 Recommendation: When you press the
button, a connection setup is started; duration approx. 3 min.
 To prevent excessive discharge of the
vehicle battery in preselected heating mode, we recommend you set the heating duration according to the trip time. Example: For a trip time of approx. 30 minutes (single distance), the heating period should be set to 30 minutes.
PLEASE NOTE!
The ventilation function is not supported for all heater designs. Please note the Technical Description for the heater.
 The heating duration or ventilation duration
in immediate operation is factory set to 30 minutes for a water heater and to continu­ous operation for an air heater.
 The heating duration or ventilating duration
can be changed and saved. A time period from 10 to 120 minutes can be selected.
 Continuous operation is only available for
air heaters in immediate operation.
 Continuous operation is not possible when
the timer function is used.
 If the heater is switched on, the indicator
light on the button illuminates.
 If there is a fault on the EasyStart Call or
the heater and the “heater error message” function is configured, then an SMS message is sent to the control unit (mobile phone / fixed line telephone).
 After operating mode ventilation has
finished, factory setting heating is re-activated.
 To request the interior temperature,
the room temperature sensor must be connected. The room temperature sensor is included in the scope of supply.
 It is only possible to change the set
temperature with an air heater.
1 INTRODUCTION

NOTES ON SMARTPHONE APPS

Day of the week entry
Days of the week can be programmed indi­vidually or as a day range. You can select from the following day ranges: MO-FR / SA-SU / MO-SU
If a timer is activated with a programmed day range, all days of the week are always pro­cessed in succession.
Example: If, during the programmed day range MO - FR, the timer is activated on Wednesday outside the programmed time, the heater heats or ventilates on Thursday and Friday with the specified settings.
The heater is not operated on Saturday and Sunday. From Monday of the following week, operation continues with the set specifications for the programmed day range.
CAUTION!
If you program a weekday range make sure that during this time period the vehicle is not parked in an area where heating is not allowed, e.g., in a garage or at a petrol sta­tion.
Note and follow the additional safety notes in the Technical Description of the heater.

CONTROL USING THE BUTTON

The EasyStart Call scope of supply includes a button with an indicator light. This button must be installed since it is nec­essary for operating the heater. The integrated indicator light displays the cur­rent operating status. The button can be used to manually switch the heater on and off. The previous entries for duration and tem­perature are valid. In addition, you can press the button and call the EasyStart Call to reset the password (four digit access PIN). To do so, hold the button down when you are requested to enter the password and simul­taneously enter the four digit access PIN 1234 (factory setting). The EasyStart Call then switches to the main menu. If the heater is running when you press the button (indicator light on), the heating is switched off.
