1.4Further documentation to be used
This workshop manual contains all information and instructions required for the repair of coolant heaters DBW
160/230/300/350.
The use of additional documentation is normally not required.
If required, the installation instructions and the operating
instructions can be used in addition.
1.5Safety information and
regulations
As a rule, the applicable general regulations and instructions concerning accident prevention and work safety
must be observed.
"General safety regulations" beyond the scope of these
regulations are listed in the following.
The special safety regulations of importance for this
manual are indicated inthe relevant sections or process
descriptions in the form of signal words (warnings, cautions, notes).
1.5.1General safety regulations
For the heaters DBW 160/230/300/350, type approvals
according to EC directives 72/245/EEC (EMC) and 2001/
56/EC (heater systems) have been granted, with the EC
approval number:
e1*2001/56*0006xx
For installation, primarily the provisions of Annex VII to di-
rective 2001/56/EC must be observed.
CAUTION
Non-compliance with the installation instructions and the
notes contained will lead to exclusion of liability by Spheros. The same applies to repairs not carried out by experts
or without the use of genuine spare parts. This will result
in the invalidation of the General Build-Type Approval of
the heater and hence the General Certification (German
'ABE').
The year the heater was initially commissioned must
be permanently marked on the type label
by removing the relevant year.
The heaters are approved for heating the vehicle engine
and the passenger compartment. When the heater is used
in vehicles not subject to the StVZO [German road-traffic
licensing regulations] (e.g. ships), locally applicable regulations must be complied with.
The heater may only be installed in vehicles or in independent heating systems with a minimum coolant volume
of 10 litres.

The heater may not be installed in the driver's or passenger's compartments of vehicles. If the heater is nevertheless installed in such a compartment, the installation case
must be tightly sealed towards the vehicle interior. From
the outside, the installation case must be sufficiently
vented so that a maximum temperature of 85 °C in the installation case is not exceeded. If this temperature is exceeded, malfunctions may occur.
DANGER
Because of danger of poisoning and suffocation, the
heater must not, not even with a timer, be operated in
enclosed rooms such as garages or workshops
without exhaust-gas extraction systems.
Because of explosion hazard, the heater must be
switched off at filling stations and filling systems.
CAUTION
Wherever flammable fumes or dust can form (e.g.
near fuel, carbon, wood-dust, cereal storage sites or
similar), the heater must be switched off due to explosion hazard.
The heater may not be operated in the vicinity of flammable materials, such as dry grass, leaves, cardboard
boxes, paper etc.
In the vicinity of the control unit, an ambient temperature
of 110°C (storage temperature) must not be exceeded
(e.g. when paint work is carried out on the vehicle).
If the specified temperature is exceeded, permanent
damage to the electronics may occur. When checking the
coolant level, proceed according to the vehicle manufac-
turer's instructions. The coolant in the heating circuit must
contain at least 10% of a brand-name anti-freeze agent.
Additives in the heating circuit may not be aggressive
against metals, plastics and rubberand may not cause
any deposits.
The opening pressure in the vehiclecooling syst em usually indicated on the radiator cap – must range
between 0.4 and 2.0 bar allowable working pressure (also
applies to separate heatingcircuits).
1.6Legal requirements regarding the
installation
For installation, primarily the provisions of Annex VII to directive ECE R122 must be observed.
NOTE:
The provisions of these directives are binding inthe
area of application of the ECE directive and should
also be observed in countries without specific regula-
tions!

The combustion air fan supplies the air required for combustion from the air intake into the combustion chamber.
Heaters are fitted with the following fan types:
DBW 160– side-channel fan,
DBW 230 / 300– radial fan,
DBW 350– two-stage radial fan.
2.2Motor
The motor drives the combustion air fan via a co up ling
and the fuel pump via a gearset.
2.3Fuel pump
The fuel pump supplies fuel for combustion. It is driven by
the combustion air fan motor via a coupling. Inside the fuel
pump, the fuel is pressurised to approx. 10 bar (DBW 160
11.5 bar) and is vaporised by the high-pressure atomiser.
Fuel supply to the atomiser is controlled by a solenoid
valve.

The nozzle-block preheater heats the fuel flowing to the
high-pressure nozzle.
Heaters without nozzle-block preheaters may show malfunctions at extremely low temperatures.
At temperatures < 0° C, the heating element in the nozzle
block is actuated via a thermostat.. Heating duration
depends on the heat reflected in the combustion chamber,
and the heater switches off when the thermostat reaches
a temperature of +8° C.
Heaters without nozzle-stock preheaters can be retrofitted.
For parts required please refer to parts list.

The flame sensor monitors the flame during the entire
combustion process. The flame sensor acts as a photoelectric resistor detecting the absence of a flame or as a
photoelectric transistor detecting the presence of a flame
and responding to its luminous intensity.
Its signals are received and processed by the control unit.
Flame sensor for control unit 1553
2.8Electronic ignition unit with ignition
electrodes
The electronic ignition unit creates the high voltage
required to ignite the fuel/air mixture. Ignition is then realised by high-voltage spark-over between the two ignition
electrodes.

The temperature limiter (bi-metal) protects the heater
against excessive operating temperatures. The temperature limiter trips when a temperature of 107° C or 117° C
is exceeded, turning off the heater. The temperature
limiter is resetable or self-resetting.
Thermal fuse
The thermal fuse protects the heater against excessive
operating temperatures. It comprises a fusible link that
trips at excessive temperatures, turning off the heater.
Heaters can be retrofitted with temperature limiters
replacing the thermal fuses.
2.10Control thermostat
Control thermostat at heater
After reaching operating temperature, closed-loop operation is performed by the control thermostat. The coolant is
maintained at a constant temperature by turning the
heater on and off. The thermostat closes at 63 ± 5° C and
opens at 70 ± 3° C.
External control thermostat
Closed-loop operation can also be executedby an exter-
nal control thermostat.
After reaching operating temperature, closed-loop operation is performed by the control thermostat. The coolant is
maintained at a constant temperature by turning the
heater on and off. The thermostat closes at71 ± 2° C and
opens at 78 ± 2° C; alternatively at 62 ± 2° C and
70 ± 2° C.

The heaters are equipped with burners using high-pressure atomisers and run in intermittent operation. They are
thermostatically controlled (control unit 1553).
3.2Operation
The heater is switched on and off at the
–switch (On/Off) or
–by the timer.
Its operating mode is shown by an operation indicator in-
tegrated in the timer or by a separate indicator light.
Heaters can be fitted with optional nozzle-block pre-
heaters and heater elements for operatio n at extremely
low temperatures.
Operation (see Fig. 301)
3.2.1 Switch on
When the system is switched on, the operation indicator
lights up. Combustion air fan, fuel pump and circ ulation
pump start. After approx. 15 seconds, the solenoid valve
opens and fuel is injected into the combustionchamber
via the atomiser. At the same time, a high-voltage ignition
spark is generated. When the flame sensor detects a
flame, it outputs a signal to the control unit which switches
the electronic ignition unit off.
If no flame is detected, please refer to 3.2.4.
3.2.2 Heating operation
After reaching operating temperature, closed-loop operation is performedby the control thermostat.
Coolant temperature is then maintained at a constant
level by switching theheater on and off. When the temperature exceeds the upper switch point, the solenoid valve
shuts of the fuelsupply, causing the flame to extinguish.
The combustion air fan then runs on for approx. 150 seconds, switching off automatically. The circulation pump
keeps on running during the burner's off-periods, and the
operation indicator remains on. When the temperature
falls below the lower switch point, the heater is restarted.
3.2.3 Switch off
When the heater is switched off, combustion is stopped.
The operation indicator is turned off, and the purge cycle
begins. Combustion air fan and circulation pump are
switched off after approx. 150 seconds.
The heater cannot be restarted during purge cycle.
3.2.4 Malfunction cut-out
Heaters with control unit 1553
A malfunction cut-out occurs
–if no combustion is detected within approx. 30
seconds after the heater is switched on,
–if the fuel supply is interrupted for more than 10
seconds during heating operation,
–if thermal fuse or temperature limiter detect over-
heating of the heater. The thermal fuse must always
be replaced by a fuseof the identical type (observe
colour code). Reset the button of the temperature
limiter (once theheater has cooled down to below
60° C).
–if undervoltage is detected approx. 10 – 25 seconds
after the temperature falls below the switch point.
Once the cause of the malfunction has been eliminated,
the heater can be unlocked by switching it off and back on.

6.3.2 Check and adjustment of ignition
electrodes
NOTE
•The ignition electrodes' insulation bodies may not
show any signs of damage. Ignition electrodes with an
electrode gap outside the tolerance range or incorrectly functioning ignition electrodes must be adjusted
or replaced.
•Ignition electrode gaps can be adjusted using the
gauge. The gauge's front edge must contact the atomiser with the tips of the ignition electrodes resting in
the two notches.
Check
–Check the ignition electrodes' insulation bodies for
signs of damage.
CAUTION
In order not to disturb fuel a tomisation , the atomizer bore
must not be touched while measuring the electrode gap.
–Check electrode gap using the g auge as shown in the
fig. and check the condition of the electrodes.
Adjustment
–Adjust gap by bending electrodes and verify using the
gauge as shown.
6.3.3 Check of electronic ignition unit

6.3.6 Check of solenoid valve
NOTE
Longer periods of smoke emission during run-downis an
indication of a leaking solenoid valve seat. In this case fuel
trickles from the atomiser.
A short period of smoke emission is normal. This is
caused by the fuel draining from the space between solenoid valve and atomiser bore.
Check
CAUTION
Disconnect the connector of the solenoid valve at the
control unit.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage of
the control unit.
–Check electric function of 12-volt devices using the

following data:
•Opening voltage 17.0 volts
•Operating voltage 19.2 ... 28.8 volts
•Power consumption at
•nominal voltage and 20° C 10 watts
•nominal current 0.42 ampere
6.3.7 Check of nozzle-block preheater
NOTE
At temperatures of < 0° C the thermostat activatesthe
heater element inside the nozzle block. The heating dura-
tion depends on the reflection heat in the combustion
chamber and is switched off at +8° C at the thermostat.

This section describes permissible service work on installed heater systems.
8.2Heater servicing
As long as the heater is in operation or in run-down mode,
the battery main power supply must not be disconnected
to prevent the heater from overheating and, as a result,
the overheat protection from being triggered.
When extensive repair work is carried out, it is advisable
to remove the heater.
When work on the heating circuit has been carried out, a
coolant mixture consisting of water and anti-freeze agent
must be refilled according to the manufacturer's instructions and the heating circuit must be bled.
8.3Vehicle servicing
CAUTION
In the vicinity of the heater, a temperature of
85° C must by no means be exceeded (e.g. when paint
work is carried out on the vehicle).
8.4Heater test run
The heater must not, not even with a timer, be operatedin
enclosed rooms such as garages or workshops without
exhaust-gas extraction systems.
8.5Maintenance work
To ensure the functional reliability of the heater, the following maintenance work must be performed:
•The openings of the combustion air intake line an d the
exhaust outlet must be checked for soiling and
cleaned.
•Outside the heating period, the heater must be oper-
ated with a cold vehicle engine every 4 weeks for 10
minutes, with the heating temperature set to"warm".
This helps to prevent difficulties during start-up.
•When replacing the coolant for the vehicle engine,
take care to bleed the heater and thecirculation pump
properly after the vehicle cooling system has be en
bled.
Refill coolant as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
•At least once ayear, with heavily contaminated fuel
more often,the fuel filter or the filter insert must be replaced to prevent malfunctions.
•When leakage occurs, the fuel pump and the fuel lines
mustbe replaced immediately, otherwise every 5
years.
•The heater should be checked by a Spheros service
workshop at regular intervals, at the latest at the beginning of a heating period.
Visit www.butlertechnik.com for more technical information and downloads.
The electronic ignition unit is operated at high voltage.
Danger! Ensure that the wiring harness connectors are
disconnected from the control unit before swinging open
the burner head.
Reconnect the connectors once the burner head is swung
closed again.
NOTE
The heater is maintenance-friendly. Swinging the burner
head

The heater must be connected to the vehicle's cooling
system as illustrated in Fig. 802. The minimum amount of
coolant required in the circuit is 10 litres.
As a rule, the coolant hoses supplied by Spheros must be
used. Otherwise, hoses in compliance with DIN 73411 or
better must be used. The hoses must be routed without
any kinks and - to ensure proper bleeding of the heater in an upward pitch, if possible. Hose connections must be
secured with clamps against slipping off.
NOTE:
The tightening torques of the hose clamps used must be
observed.
In the vehicle's cooling system or a separate heating circuit, only pressure-relief valves with an opening pressure
of min. 0.4 bar and max. 2.0 bar may be used.
Prior to initial start-up of the heater or after replacement of
the coolant, proper bleeding of the cooling system must
be ensured. Heater and lines must be installed to en su re
static bleeding of the system.
Proper bleeding can be identified by almost noise-free op-
eration of the circulation pump. Poor bleeding may result
in the tripping of the resettable temperature limiter or the
thermal fuse while the heater is in operation.
When circulation pump U 4855 / Aquavent 6000C is used,
a low coolant level or a blocked pump impeller will cause
the circulation pump to be shut off automatically approx.
15 seconds after activation. The circulation pump can be
restarted after approx. 2 minutes.
When circulation pump U 4856/ Aquavent 6000SC is
used, a low coolant level or a blocked pump impeller will
cause the circulation pump to beshut offautom atica lly
approx. 45 seconds after activation. The circulation pump
can be restarted afterapprox. 2 minutes.
8.6.2 Connection to the vehicle's fuel system
Fuel is taken from the vehicle's fuel tank or a separate fuel
tank.
8.6.2.1 Fuel lines
To prevent trapped air, fuel lines must be routed inan
upward pitch, if possible. Connections within thefuel lines
must be secured by hose clamps unless mechanical
threaded joints are used.
If fuel hoses are used, only the hoses supplied or offe red
by Spheros must be used. Any other fuel hose must
comply with DIN 73379 as a minimum. Fuelhoses must
neither be kinked nor twistedandmust befastened with
clamps at intervals of approx. 25 cm.
Materials commonly usedinvehicle construction may
also be used as fuel lines, taking into account the respective joining techniques.
As a rule, the following points must be observed when
routing fuellines:
•Lines must beprotected against heat
DANGER
When thesystem overheats, the outer shell of the heater
can reach the ignition temperature of diesel fuel!
•Lines must be protected against stone chipping
•Dripping or evaporating fuel may neither collect
nor be ignited by hot components or electrical
equipment.
It is not permissible to install a shut-off device in the return
line!
CAUTION
Operating the heater with closed return line will result in
damage to the fuel pump. Fuel may escape. Fire hazard.
Freely suspended lines must be secured to prevent them
from sagging.
It is not permissible to install an additional fuel pump.

After installation of the heater, the coolant circuit and the
fuel-supply system must be carefully bled. The vehicle
manufacturer's instructions must be observed during the
procedure. During the test run, all coolant and fuel connections must be checked for sealing tightness and firm
fit. Should the heater switch into malfunction mode during
operation, troubleshooting must be performed (see
Section 5).
8.8.1 Bleeding the coolant circuit
NOTE
Bleeding must always be performed in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions. The circulation pump
must not be switched on for the bleeding process.
Set the vehicle heating system to "warm" and refill coolant
which must consist of a mixture of water and at least 10 %
anti-freeze agent (on glycol basis) (corrosion protection).
The use of pure water will not provide any corrosion protection and, due to the lower boiling point of water, may
result in a partial loss of coolant in the event of overheating, requiring coolant to be refilled. Only coolant additives
may be used that are not aggressive against metals, plastics and rubber and that do not cause any deposits.
Run the vehicle engine at high idle until the cooler thermo-
stat is open. Shut off vehicle engine and check coolant
level, refill coolant, if required.
Switch on the heater and the vehicle's heate r fan while the
vehicle engine is shut off. After a certain cooling period,
the heater must automatically start andthen shut itself
down again. If no restart occurs, the temperature limiter
on the heater was tripped because the heaterhas not
been bled properly. Reset temperature limiter(by pushing
the button on the temperature limiter) and repeat complete bleeding procedure.
NOTE
The heater can be equipped with an automatically resetting temperature limiter. In this case manual reset is not
applicable.
8.8.2 Bleeding the fuel-supply system
When the heater is switched on, the fuel pump draws in
fuel, filling the heater's entire fuel supply system.
If no combustion occurs after the first start-up, the heater
must be switched off and switched on again.

9.1.2.1 Installation of the nozzle-block preheater
General
The nozzle-block preheater serves to heat the fuel flowing
to the atomiser nozzle. At extremely low temperatures,
malfunctions may occur in the above mentioned heaters if
they are not equipped with nozzle-block preheaters.
At a temperature of < 0° C, the heating element in the
nozzle block is actuated via a thermostat. The heating du ration depends on the heat reflected in the combustion
chamber and the heater switches off when the temperature at the thermostat is +8° C .
If no nozzle-block preheater is installed in the heater, it
can be retrofitted according to the following procedure.
The following spare-parts kits for the heaters listed above
are available for retrofits:
•12 V heaters with control unit 1553,
