Description of Device
The unit is fired directly with heating oil EL or diesel and
can be operated with or without an exhaust-gas connection. It is intended for mobile and fully automatic deployment.
A fuel container is built under the unit and it is equipped
with automatic tank heating, a high-pressure atomizing
oil burner with optical flame monitoring, a low maintenance axial ventilator, a connection cable with plug, a
room thermostat socket and a fourfold filter system.
The unit complies with the basic safety and health requirements of the relevant EU stipulations and is reliable and simple to operate.
The unit can be used e.g. in the following areas:
- for drying new buildings;
- for point heating of outdoor workplaces;
- for point heating of workplaces in open, non firehazard fabrication rooms and halls;
- for temporary heating of closed and open areas;
- for de-icing of machines, vehicles and non flammable
storage goods;
- for tempering frost-enda ngered parts.
Working of Device
When the power plug is connected to a power socket,
the automatic tank heater is activated for temperatures
below 10 °C.
When the unit has been switched on or when heat is
required (automatic function with room thermostat) the
supply air fan starts. The fan blows air into and along
the combustion chamber.
When the preliminary ventilation is over, the electromagnetic valve opens and supplies fuel to the nozzle.
The fuel, sprayed under high pressure, is enriched by
an adequate quantity of oxygen according to the heating capacity and ignited by an electric spark. Once a
flame is burning, the automatic burner relay begins
monitoring the flame.
The automatic burner relay controls all unit functionality
fully automatically and monitors them for safety.
After a few seconds hot air is blown out.case of any
troubles, or if the flame is unstable or tends to go out,
the unit is switched off by the automatic burner relay.
The fault indicator warning lamp of the automatic burner
relay lights up. A restart cannot be made before the
manual release of the automatic burner relay.
When the unit has been switched off via the operating
switch or the room thermostat, the supply air fan continues running for some time to cool down the combustion
chamber and then it stops automatically.
Depending on the required heat rate the function described above is repeated automatically in the case of
an operation with thermostat.
For optimum unit operation, the device should not
*
be operated at an ambient temperature above 25 °C.

Safety temperature limiter (STB)
The STB interrupts the supply of fuel if the unit overheats and causes the automatic burner relay to switch
off.
If the safety temperature limiter has triggered, the
cause of the disturbance must first be localised and
eliminated. Resetting via the "RESET" key is only possible after the sensor has cooled to below ca. 90 °C.
The safety temperature limiter is unlocked by pressing
the reset key.

least 10 times the nominal heat load in kW of all
the units operating in the room and if windows
and doors ensure a natural change of air.
2.4 In deviation from point 2.3, the unit can be operated without an exhaust system in rooms if these
rooms have a sufficient air supply and are well
ventilated and if materials harmful to health do not
reach an unhealthy concentration.
2.5 A good natural air supply and ventilation is the
case if e. g.
The room contents in m² correspond with at least
30 times the nominal heat output of all units operating in the room and a natural change of air is ensured through windows and doors, or
openings which are not lockable are present in the
region of ceiling and floor for the air supply and for
out going air and the size of these openings in m²
corresponds with at least 0.003 times the nominal
heat output in kW of all units operating in the room.
2.6 The unit must not be installed or operated in rooms
and areas where the danger of fire or explosion exists.
3. Room drying
3.1 In deviation from point 2.3, in order to dry rooms
with an air supply sufficient for the combustion,
heating units can be operated without the exhaust
gases being removed to the exterior. In these
rooms, the permanent presence of persons is forbidden. Signs on the entrances to the rooms must
indicate that this is forbidden.
4. Examination
4.1 The unit must be tested by an expert as to its work
safety specific condition in accordance with the required deployment conditions but at least once annually.
4.2 The exhaust values of the burner must be

Installation Requirements
The heaters may only be installed in compliance with
the relevant regulations, in particular, regulations governing the installation and operation of fireplaces and
furnaces.
Any national/regional emission control laws or regulations must also be observed.
Electrical Connection
◊ The units are operated with 230 V / 1~ N / 50 Hz.
◊ The unit must be connected to the power source at a
special terminal equipped with a switch to protect
against faulty currents.
Outside installation◊ Operation of the unit may not have any harmful ef-
fects or cause any unreasonable problems.
◊ The unit operator must ensure that unauthorised
persons are prevented from manipulating the unit or
its power supply.
◊ Because rain and snow can be sucked in by the air
supply fan, a suitable protective covering should be
used.
Installation in closed, well aerated rooms without
connection to a chimney
◊ The units may only be operated when the minimum
amount of air required for combustion is supplied.
◊ A safe exhaustion of the waste gases is to be en-
sured to exclude inadmissible pollution.
- Fresh air is supplied from below.
- Waste gases are expelled upwards.
Heating Rooms
◊ Warm air generators may only be operated with a
room thermostat when heating rooms. Accessories.
Exhaust system
In the outdoors or in open rooms, the operation of the
device is also possible without an exhaust system.
However, we recommend a 1 m exhaust-pipe (see example 2) with a rain hood placed on top so as to rule
out the penetration by rainwater and dirt.
If the device is used for temporary room heating, the
combustion gases may have to be removed to the exterior. The exhaust-pipe parts must be laid in such a way
that a minimum suction of 0.1 mbar is guaranteed.
It must be made sure in all cases that counter
pressure due to an incorrect exhaust system is
*
ruled out.
Malfunction-free operation is guaranteed if the exhaust
system is installed in an ascending direction and with
vertical end pipes.
The exhaust system must terminate at least above the
height of the eaves but better still above roof height in
order to avoid counter pressure caused by weatherrelated circumstances (e.g. wind).
All exhaust-pipe parts must be attached reliably. Their
diameter must not be smaller than that of the exhaust
nozzle of the device (∅ 150 mm).
The minimum distance of 0.6 m to combustible parts
must not be exceeded.
Exhaust-pipe parts including attachment material are
available as accessories.

ments
Paraffin accumulation by low outside temperatures
The supply of sufficient liquid fuel is to be ensured,
even with low outside temperatures.
Paraffin accumulation can occur even at temperatures as low as 5 °C. Appropriate measures must
*
be taken to avoid this. (winterised heating oil)
◊ The built-in tank heating is only active as long as the
mains plug is connected with a functioning mains
socket and the surrounding temperature is below
10 °C.
◊ It is not possible to get rid of paraffin discharge
which is already present using the tank heating.
The requirement for this is the cleaning of the entire
fuel system.
Fuel filter
Prior to commissioning the unit and before
the tank is filled each time, the main filter (F)
must be checked for the presence of grime
or the accumulation of paraffin.

Service and Guarantee
For the guarantee to be valid, the customer must completely fill out the “guarantee certificate” enclosed with
all heating units and send it back to REMKO GmbH &
Co. KG in a timely manner after purchasing of the unit
and putting it into operation.
The units have undergone several tests to ensure
proper functioning at the factory. If there are still malfunctions that cannot be fixed by the operator using the
troubleshooting instructions, please contact your dealer
or contract partner.
Exhaust Measurement
On account of the construction-dependent design of the
exhaust connection (connection nozzle with secondary
air openings), it is not possible to perform a correct exhaust analysis in a conventional manner in the exhaust
pipe behind the exhaust connection.
For the performance of the exhaust analysis the sensor
of the exhaust-measurement device must be placed in
the centre of the pipe socket of the heat exchanger.
An operation/use other than indicated in these instructions is prohibited!
In the case of non-compliance, we assume no li-
*
ability and our guarantee becomes null and void.
Proper Use
The units are to be used only for heating purpose in industrial or commercial application because of their construction and equipment.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting
from non-adherence to manufacturer specifications, legal requirements or any modifications to the units.

Page 10
Fuel Pump
The standard type of the pump runs in a system of
1 pipe. The required fuel is sucked in through the suction
line "S".
For the first starting and after having emptied the fuel
tank, the fuel system is deaerated through the burner
nozzle. For this purpose the unit is switched on. After a
possible switch off through failure, the unit is restarted
after having released the automatic burner relay (take
care of waiting time).
If, after the 3rd start of the unit there is another switch
off through faults, the fuel filters should be checked to
make sure that they are free from pollutions and that
they are tight.
Setting the pump pressure
The pump pressure can
only be set if a manometer
is connected to the connection P.
The pump pressure is
changed by turning the
pressure setting screw A.
Clockwise:
P
increase the pressure
counter clockwise:
A
reduce the pressure
The required pump pres-
sure is determined according to the heating capacity
(please refer to unit type
plate) and to the nozzle size.
Perfect fuel quality is an absolute nec essity for the
lubrication of the pump drive.
Suction of water residues should never take place
*
and, in the case of setting, suction should not take
place of warping fine dusts (e.g. cement etc.).
