•Route the heater exhaust so that exhaust fumes cannot
enter any passenger compartments.
•If running exhaust components through an enclosed
compartment, ensure that it is vented to the outside.
Warning - Safety Hazard on Coolant Heaters
Used With Improper Antifreeze Mixtures
•The use of Espar coolant heaters requires that the
coolant in the system to be heated contain a proper mixture of water and antifreeze to prevent coolant from
freezing or slushing.
•If the coolant becomes slushy or frozen, the heater’s
coolant pump cannot move the coolant causing a blockage of the circulating system. Once this occurs, pressure
will build up rapidly in the heater and the coolant hose
will either burst or blow off at the connection point to the
heater.
•This situation could cause engine damage and/or personal injury. Extreme care should be taken to ensure a
proper mixture of water and antifreeze is used in the
coolant system.
•Refer to the engine manufacturer’s or coolant manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific requirements.

Introduction
Espar’s Hydronic D4/D5 Heater
Quality engineered to provide a dependable means of heating, the Espar Hydronic 4/5 is a diesel fired coolant heater
capable of between
Hydronic 4 - 1.6 kW to 4 kW/hr (5,500 to 13,700 BTU/hr).
Hydronic 5 - 2.4 kW to 5 kW/hr (8,200 to 17,100 BTU/hr).
This compact coolant heater offers an affordable heating
solution to many applications. The Hydronic 4/5 is ideal for
pre-heating the engines of trucks, cars, off-road equipment,
small trucks and boats. It features automatic heat regulation
while being fuel and power efficient. Since the heater runs on
fuel and 12 or 24 volt power, it is able to perform this completely independently of the vehicle engine. The unit regulates the coolant temperature between a low of 65°C (149°F)
and a high of 80°C (176°F) by automatically cycling the
heater.
The Hydronic 4/5 can be operated from the vehicle cab by an
on/off switch, a preselect timer or a combination of both.
A Flame sensor, temperature regulating sensor and overheat
sensor are among the safety features which makes the
Hydronic D4/D5 a safe and dependable heating system.

Heater Plumbing
The heater is incorporated into the engine’s cooling system
for engine preheating
Engine Plumbing
Follow these guidelines and refer to engine plumbing diagram shown below.
• Use existing holes in the engine block (ie. remove
blanking plugs when possible). Install fittings into the block
for pick-up and returns.
• If possible, use shut off valves to ensure the system can
be isolated from the engine when not in use.
• Provide 20mm (3/4”) hose barbs for hose connections.
• Use 20mm (3/4”) hoses to ensure adequate coolant flow.
• Keep the pick up and return points as far apart as
possible to ensure good heat distribution.
• Take the coolant from a low point on the engine to
reduce aeration in the system.
• Ensure proper direction of coolant flow by taking coolant
from a high pressure point in the engine and returning it to
a low pressure point. (ie. pickup from back of block and
return to the suction side of the engine's water pump).
• Ensure adequate flow rate through the heater by comparing the incoming and outgoing coolant temperatures while
the heater is running. If the rise in temperature exceeds
10°C (18°F), coolant flow must be increased by modifying
the plumbing.
• Ensure the heater and water pump are installed as low as
possible to allow the purging of air. Bleed system via radiator or bleed screw located on heater.
Caution: The coolant must contain a minimum of 10%
antifreeze at all times as a protection against
corrosion. Fresh water will corrode internal
heater parts.

Heater Operation
Pre-Start Procedures
Upon completion of installation prepare the heater as follows:
• Check all fuel, electrical and plumbing connections
• Refill the engine coolant
• Bleed air from the coolant system by loosening the bleed
screw on top of the heater to allow air to escape.
• Loosen Rad cap and run engine to allow air to be purged.
• Top up engine coolant.
Start Up
Once switched on the following sequence occurs:
• Control unit does a systems check ( flame sensor,
temperature sensor, safety thermal sensor and various
other control unit checks).
• Water pump starts circulating coolant fluid.
• Combustion air blower comes on.
• Glow pin begins to preheat 20-50 secs.
• Metering pump starts and combustion air blower speeds
up gradually
• Once ignition takes place the flame sensor alerts the
control unit and the control unit shuts off the glow pin
(ignition time: 1.5 - 2 minutes)
Push/Pull Switch
• Mount switch in a location where it is easily accessible
• Mount using hardware supplied
• Connect the switch harness to the connector at the heater
and run the harness to the switch location
• Cut harness to length at the switch and install terminals
• Connect wiring as shown
Note:Wired as above the switch light glows when
pulled out and is off when pushed in.

end and tie off to the side)
Note:If the heater fails to start the first time it will
automatically attempt a second start. If unsuccessful, the heater will shut down completely.
Note:On initial start up the heater may require sever-
al start attempts to self prime the fuel system.
Running
Once ignition is successful the following operations
take place:
• Heater runs in high heat mode and the temperature is
monitored at the heat exchanger.
• Once coolant reaches 80°C (185°F) the heater
automatically switches to low heat mode and continues
to run.
• If coolant temperature drops to 75°C (167°F) the heater
will automatically switch back to high heat mode
• If the coolant temperature continues to rise, the heater
will automatically switch off once temperature reaches
86°C (187°F)
• The water pump will continue to circulate coolant to allow
the heater to monitor engine temperature
• The heater will automatically re-start once coolant
temperature reaches 75°C (167°F)
• The heater continues to run as described above until it is
switched off, either manually, automatically by a timer or
heater malfunction shutdown.
Page 17
Note:If the heater should shut down due to flame
out while in running mode, it will automatically attempt one restart. If successful, it will
continue to run. If not, it will shut down completely with a cool-down cycle.
Note:During operation the heater continually sens-
es the input voltage from the batteries. If the
input voltage drops to approximately 10 volts
or rises above 16 volts the heater will automatically shut down with a cool-down cycle.
Switching Off
• When the heater is switched off, manually or
automatically, it starts a controlled cool down cycle
• The fuel metering pump stops delivering fuel and the
flame is extinguished
• The combustion air blower and water pump continue to
run for 130 seconds to cool down
• The heater shuts off.
17
Safety Equipment
The control unit, temperature sensor, overheat sensor and
flame sensor continually monitor heater functions and will
shut down the heater in case of a malfunction.
• The control unit ensures electrical circuits (fuel pump,
combustion air blower etc.) are complete prior to starting
the heater.
• If the heater fails to ignite within 90 seconds of the fuel
pump being started, the starting procedure will be
repeated. If the heater again fails to ignite after 90
seconds of fuel being pumped, a “no start safety
shutdown” follows
• If the heater flames out during operation, the heater
automatically attempts to restart. If the heater fails to
ignite within 10 seconds of fuel delivery, or ignites but
flames out again within 3 minutes, “flame out” shutdown
follows. After troubleshooting the problem the heater can
be started again by switching the heater off and then back
on again
• Overheating due to lack of water, a restriction or a poorly
bled coolant system results in the overheat shutdown.
Fuel delivery will cease and an “overheat shut down” follows. If heater overheats 3 consecutive times, a lockout
on the control unit will occur. To unlock the control unit
you will need to use the Fault Code Retrieval Device. See
following pages for self diagnostics.
• If at any time the voltage drops below 10.2V, or rises
above 15.9V, a “high/low voltage” shutdown follows (after
a 20 second delay).
Warning:The heater must be switched off while
any fuel tank on the vehicle is being
filled. The heater must not be operated in garages or enclosed areas

Fuel Quantity Test
The fuel Quantity should be tested if the heater has difficulty
starting or maintaining a flame.
Note:Measure the fuel quantity when the battery is
sufficiently charged. At least 11V and at
most 13V should be applied at the control
unit during measurement.
Preparation
• Remove metering pump cover in the cases of SC ver-
sions.
• Pull the fuel line off the combustion chamber and insert
into a graduated measuring glass
• Switch the heater on, when fuel delivery is uniform
(approximately 40 seconds after switching on), the fuel
line is full and bled.
• Switch heater off
• Empty measuring glass and replace
