1 Introduction
Air Top 2000
The heater must not be installed in the passenger or
driver compartments of busses. Should the heater nevertheless be installed in such a compartment, the installation box must be sealed tight against the vehicle interior.
There must be sufficient ventilation of the installation box
from the exterior in order not to exceed a maximum temperature of 40 °C in the installation box.
At filling station s and fuel depots the heat er mu st be
switched off as there is a potenti al dan ger of exp losion.
Where flammable fumes or dust may build up (e.g.
in the vicini ty of fuel, coal , wood, cereal depots, or
similar installat ions) the heat er must be switched off
to prevent explosions.
Due to the danger of poisoning and suffocation the
heater must not be operated in enclosed areas such as
garages or workshops without exhaust venting, not even
if the start-up is activated by the timer or telest art device.
When removing the heater the gasket below must be replaced.
The heat exchanger of the air heater remains serviceable for a maximum of 10 years and must then be r eplaced with an original spare part by the manufacturer or by one of its authorized workshops.
The heater must then be provided with a label
marked with the sales date and with the words “Original Spare”.
Should exhaust pipes be rou ted through room s
accommodating person s, these pipes shal l also be
renewed after 10 years.
Heating Air System
Heating air intake openings must be arranged so that
under normal operating conditions exhaust fumes of the
vehicle engine or air heater are not likely to be expected.
Extracting combustion air from the vehicle interior is not
permissible.
Combustion A ir Line
The combustion air required must be taken from the
exterior.
Within rooms accommodat ing persons, the com busti on
air lines must not have more than four disconnects and a
splash-water protected ext erior w all feedthrough. The
disconnects must be sealed in a way not to exceed a
leak rate of 200 l/h at an overpressure of 0.5 mbar.
The line including feedthrough, disconnects, material
and specific type must be described in the installation
instructions.
The line must require tools for installation and removal,
must be protected against damage, and must be shockproof.
Exhaust Line
Heaters must be designed to discharge the exhaust to
the exterior.
Exhaust pipes must be routed so that exhaust fumes are
unlikely to penetrate into the vehicle’s interior.
The function of any parts of the vehicle essential for its
operation must not be impaired. Condensate or water
penetrated must not be able to accumulate in the
exhaust line.
Drain holes are permissible; these must drain the fluid to
the exterior via lines sealed against the vehicle interior.
Installations not legally authorized will void the air
heater’s “Official Marks of Conformity” and thus the
vehicle’s permit of operation. The same applies for
repairs performed by unskilled personnel and repairs
with no original spare parts.
1.5Legal Provisions for Installation
For testing the heater in accordance with 19, 20, or 21
of the StVZO the following regulations are to be observed in particular (§ 22 a StVZO):
Testing is performed upon presentation of the operating
and installation instructions of the manufacturer.
The year of the initial operation must be durably marked
on the heater identification plate by the installing person.
The exhaust line outlet is to be positioned to the top, to
the side, or in case of exhaust venting below the vehicle
floor, to the nearest possible location of the vehicle’s or
cockpit’s side or rear end. In compartments accommodating persons, exhaust lines must not have more th an
one disconnect and must have a splash-water protected
feedthrough in the exterior wall/floor . For water , that has
penetrated into the exhaust line, the connection of a
drain line with a metal-sealing joint is permissible. The
drain pipe must be routed sealed through the exterior
wall or the vehicle floor.The heat exchanger, the exhaus t
line connected, as well as the possible drain pipe must
be sealed so that with an overpressure of double the
overpressure of the exhaust having the maximum permissible exhaust line length - at least however at an overpressure of 0.5 bar - a total leak rate of 30 l/h is not
exceeded.
The line including feedthrough, disconnects, material
and specific type must be described in the installation
instructions.
The line must require tools for installation and removal,
must be protected against damage, and must be shockproof.

1 Introduction
Metal lines must be used. These m ay not heat to m ore
than 110 °C should there be the possibility of contact
within the room interior. Protective devices against contact may be fitt ed.
Should exhaust pipes be routed through rooms accommodating persons, these pipes shall be renewed after 10
years using genuine spare parts.
Combustion Air Inlet and Exhaust Outlet
During installations these ports for combustion air entry
and exhaust fume exit must be of such type, that a ball
with a diameter of 16 mm cannot be inserted.Elec tric al
lines, switch gear and control gear of the heater must be
located in the vehicle so that their proper function cannot
be impaired under normal operating conditions.
For the routing of fuel lines and the installation of additional fuel tanks §§ 45 and 46 of the StVZO are to be
adhered to.
The most important regulations are: Fuel lines are to be
designed in such a way that they remain unaffected by
torsional stresses in the vehicle, engine movement and
the like. They must be protected against mechanical
damage.
Fuel-carrying parts are to be protected against excessive heat and are to be arranged so that any dripping
or evaporating fuel can neither accumulate nor be ignited by hot c omponents or electrical equipment.
In busses, fuel lines and fuel tanks may be located
neither in the passenger area nor in the driver’s compartment. In these type of vehicles the fuel tanks must be located such that they do not pose a direct hazard to the
exits in the event of a fire. Fuel supply must not be by
means of gravity or pressurization of the fuel tank.

In busses the installation is not permitted in the passenger or driver compartment.
The fuel fill neck must in no vehicle be located within any
of these compartments.
Fuel containers for carburettor fuel must not be located
immediately behind the front panelling of the vehicle.
They must be sparate from the engine so that even in
case of an accident the inflammation of fuel is unlikely to
be expected. This does not apply for towing vehicles
with an open cockpit.
The operational state of the heater, i.e. an indication “on”
or “off”, must be easily and clearly visible.

without Diagnosis (Fig. 301)
3.1.1 Control Element
The control element is used to switch the air heater on
and off, set the desired room temperat ure (air intake tem perature between 10 °C and 45 °C), and to unlock a
failure interrupt condition.
The green LED indication is used to indicate the operating condition (LED permanently on) and an overheat
condition (LED flashes).
NOTE
After application of power upon swit ch-on of the battery
switch and selecting the contr ol element “ON”, the c ontrol unit enters the “error lockout” condition. Prior to a reactivation the control element has to be placed to “OFF”.
3.1.2 Switch-On
The control element is set to the desired room temperature. When switching the air heater on, the operating indicator is illuminated and the glow plug is activated
(cycled). The motor of the combustion and heating air
fan starts high-speed operation for 1 second (breakaway mom ent) and is then under slow-dow n control.
NOTE
Should the temperature of the intake air be above the selected, rated temperature, only the mot or of the combustion and heating air fan will operate (control idle). Start
operation will be initiated with a heating air temperature
below the rated temperature.
After approx. 20 seconds (for fuel operated heaters after
approx. 15 seconds) the fuel dosing pump is activated.
After another 25 seconds the speed of the combustion
and heating air fan is continuously increased to a higher
rate and combustion begins. As soon as a flame is
detected, combustion w ill be stabilized (see 3.1.3) .
Should no normal combustion be achieved within 120
seconds (for fuel operated heaters after approx. 115
seconds), the speed of the combustion and heating air
fan is increased for approx. 30 sec and there will be an
automatic repeat start with the glow plug activated and
fuel dosing pump deactivated (no fuel supply).
Should the no-combustion-condition persist , after another 80 seconds (for fuel operated heaters after approx.
85 seconds) there will be a switch-off by error lockout
(see 3.1.9) with a run-down of the combustion and heating air fan lasting 120 seconds at 2/3 of its max. speed.
3.1.3 Stabili zation
Diesel Operated Heaters
With the glow plug activated the operating speed of the
combustion and heating air fan is increased. After another 20 seconds the speed of the combustion and heating air fan is continuously increased within 17
seconds to full load for full heat.
A flame-out during the speed rise control period causes
a repeat start.
Fuel Operated Heaters
With the glow plug activated the operating speed of the
combustion and heating air fan is continuously increased
within 4 seconds to full load for full heat. A flame-out during the speed rise control period causes a repeat start.
3.1.4 Heating Ope ra tion
During operation the combustion exhaust gasses flow
through the heat exchanger charging its walls w ith com bustion heat, which in turn is taken up by the heating air
delivered by the heating air fan to be routed to the
vehicle interior.
The temperature of the heating air sucked in is
measured by means of a temperature sensor fitt ed to
the air intake side of the air heater or in case of 12 Volt
heaters also by means of an externally located temperature sensor. A temperature below the one set with the
control element increases the heater performanc e up to
maximum heat.
In order to extend the burner idle period of Diesel operated heaters during permanent operation with a heating
performance in excess of 1.2 kW, the fuel dosing pump
delivery rate is reduced every 30 minutes for 20 seconds.
A heating performance less than 1.2 kW causes the fuel
delivery to the dosing pump to be interrupted every 30
minutes for 4 seconds. For both types of heaters (fuel
and Diesel) heating operation is shortly interrupted every
9 hours like in control idle.
After reaching the temperature set with the contr ol element, heating performance is controlled to decrease.
The speed of the combustion and heating air fan slows
down and the fuel delivery rate to the pump is reduced.
When exceeding the air intake temperature set with the
control element during minimum heating perform ance,
the dosing pump is deactivated after 5 seconds and combustion terminates.
NOTE
The control unit/air heater reacts to new sett ings of the
control element with a time delay.
301
3 Functional Description
Air Top 2000
3.1.5 Control Operation
During control operation fan speed and dosing pum p
rate of delivery are subject to heating performance.
The glow plug is deactivated.
3.1.6 Control Idle
In case the air intake temperature set with the cont rol element is exceeded and the minimum heating performance had been achieved for longer than 5 seconds,
the fuel supply is cut off to terminate combustion.
The motor of the combustion and heating air fan continues operation for another 155 seconds at 2/3 of maximum speed to cool down the air heater (run-dow n). In
control idle the combustion and heating air fan runs at
minimum speed. The operation indication remains lit.
After reaching the air intake temperature set with the
control element a new start procedure is launched (without break-away) .
3.1.7 Switch-Off
Switching the heater off ext inguishes the operation indication of the control element.
If no fuel has been delivered (within 20 seconds for Diesel operated heaters or within 15 seconds for fuel operated heaters after swit ch-on) or if the air heater is in
control idle, the air heater is deactivated immediately
without run-down.
If fuel supply has commenced it will be immediately
stopped at switch-off. The fan speed decreases within
35
seconds to 2/3 of maximum.
Subsequently or if the flame sensor detects “no flame”
the fan speed is increased to maximum for 60 seconds
and run-down is initiated to last 120 seconds. Run-down
is automatically halted.
NOTE
Re-activation of the heater during run-down is permitted.
Run-down will be completed first with a subsequent restart.
3.1.8 Functions o f the A ir Hea ter in
TRS Vehicles
NOTE
Applicable only for Air Top 2000 D Air Heaters installed
in vehicles for the transportation of dangerous goods
(TRS).
If the heater is deact ivated using the control element,
run-down will not change.
A short run-down (max. 40 seconds) is automatically
activated if:
l
the vehicle engine is turned off
l
a conveyor facility is put into operation
The short run-down time depends on the operational
condition at which TRS swit ch-off occurs.
A 40 second run-down with maxim um speed is initiate d
(TRS switch-off) when:
l
air heater is s till in the start phase; stabilization
not yet achieved
l
air heater is in normal run-down
l
air heater is in control idle.
A 20 second run-down is switched on in normal combustion operation with the fuel delivery immediately halted
maintaining the fan speed for 5 seconds. Then the
speed is increased for 30 seconds within another 5 seconds.
For all heaters after July 1995 the short run-down
out of all operating conditions is a max. of 20 seconds.
After a TRS switch-off the control unit is in the “error
lockout” condition.
Prior to resuming operation the control element has to
be set to “OFF”.
3.1.9 Switch-off upon Failure
The control unit recognises failures of individual air
heater components and malfunctions in the start sequence and in normal operation.
The air heater is deactivated and enters the error lockout
mode under the following conditions:
l
flame sensor resistance out of tolerance
l
temperature sensor resistance out of tolerance
l
glow plug/glow plug trigger defective
l
fan speed too low , short circuit or open circuit
l
error in dosing pump electrical circuit or of
overheat protection (in start phase only)
l
low voltage below 10 Volt and in excess of 20
seconds for 12 Volt heaters
l
low voltage below 20 Volt and in excess of 20
seconds for 24 Volt heaters
l
control unit defective
In case of overheating there will be no fuel supply. A rundown like after manual switch-off will be performed.
After run-down the control unit is in the error lockout
mode. Overheating is indicated by the operation indication flashing. For error unlock the air heater has to be
switched off momentarily to be switched on again.

switch and selecting the control element “ON” , the control unit enters the “error lockout” condition. Prior to a reactivation the control element has to be placed to “OFF”.
3.2.2 Switch-On
The control element is set to the desired room temperature. When switching the air heater on, the operating indicator is illuminated and the glow plug is activated
(cycled). The motor of the combustion and heating air
fan starts high-speed operation for 1 second (breakaway moment) and is then under slow-do wn control to
approx. 30% (Diesel) or 50% (fuel) of full speed.
NOTE
Should the temperature of the intake air be above the selected, rated temperature, only the mot or of the combustion and heating air fan will operate (control idle). Start
operation will be initiated with a heating air temperat ure
below the rated temperature.
The flame sensor function is checked. If the flame sensor at this time already signals “flame”, there will be a
120 second run-down and an error lockout of the control
unit. A malfunction of any other component monitored
causes an error lockout without run-down.
After approx. 20 seconds (for fuel operated heaters after
approx. 15 seconds) the fuel dosing pump is activated.
After another 25 seconds the speed of the combustion
and heating air fan is continuously increased to a higher
rate and combustion begins. As soon as a flame is
detected, combustion will be stabilized (see 3. 2.3).
Should no proper combustion develop within 120 seconds (for fuel-operated within 115 seconds) the combustion and heating air fan speed is increased to full load for
approx. 30 seconds (15 seconds for fuel-operated
heaters) with the glow plug on and the dosing pump off
(no fuel delivery) with a subsequent automatic restart.
Should the no-combustion-condition persist, after another 80 seconds (for fuel operated heaters after approx.
85 seconds) there will be a switch-off by error lockout
(see 3.2.9) with a run-do w n of the combustion and heating air fan lasting 120 seconds at 2/3 of its max. speed.
2. Start (automatic restart)
Fan speed is again reduced to approx. 30% (for fuel
operated heaters to approx. 50%) and fuel is delivered.
During the next 20 seconds fan speed is increased to approx. 60% (for fuel-operated heaters to approx. 75% ) of
full speed. As soon as a flame is detected within the next
55 seconds, combustion will be stabilized. Should there
be no flame condition after a total fuel delivery period of
180 seconds, fuel delivery will be stopped and the glow
plug deactivated. The combustion air fan continues full
load operation for another 120 seconds (run-dow n) and
the heater enters the error lockout condition.
3.2.3 Stabilization
Diesel Operated Heaters
With the glow plug activated the operating speed of the
combustion and heating air fan is increased. After another 20 seconds the speed of the combustion and heating air fan is continuously increased within 17 seconds
to full load for full heat.
NOTE
This operating condition is omitted if the set temperature
(control idle) has already been achieved once.
The glow plug is deactivated and heating operation commences. A flame-out during speed up control causes a
restart, 5 restarts an error lockout of the heater.
Fuel Operated Heaters
With the glow plug activated the operating speed of the
combustion and heating air fan is continuously increased
within 4 seconds to full load for full heat. This operating
condition will be omitted if the start occurs after a control
idle period.
The glow plug is deactivated and heating operation commences. A flame-out during speed up control causes a
restart, 5 restarts an error lockout of the heater.
Should no normal combustion be achieved within 120
seconds (for fuel operated heaters after approx. 115
seconds), the speed of the combustion and heating air
fan is increased for approx. 30 sec and there will be an
automatic repeat start w ith the glow plug activated a nd
fuel dosing pump deactivated (no fuel supply).

Air Top 2000
3 Functional Description
3.2.4 Heating Operation
During operation the combustion exhaust gasses flow
through the heat exchanger charging its walls with com bustion heat, which in turn is taken up by the heating air
delivered by the heating air fan to be routed to the vehicle interior.
The temperature of the heating air sucked in is
measured by means of a temperature sensor fit ted to
the air intake side of the air heater or by means of an externally located temperature sensor.
A temperature below the one set with the control element increases the heater performance up to max imum
heat. In order to extend the burner idle period of Diesel
operated heaters during permanent operation w ith a
heating performance in excess of 1.1 kW, the fuel dosing pump delivery rate is reduced every 15 minutes for
20 seconds.
A heating performance less than 1.1 kW causes the fuel
delivery to the dosing pump to be interrupted every 30
minutes for 4 seconds. Additionaly heating operation is
briefly suspended every 9 hours like in control idle. For
Diesel-operated heaters this is only applicable, if at this
time heating performance is less than 1.1 kW.
3.2.7 Switch-Off
Switching the heater off ext inguishes the operation indication of the control element.
If no fuel has been delivered or if the air heater is in control idle, the air heater is deactivated immediately
without run-down.
If fuel supply has commenced it will be immediately
stopped at switch-off. Fan speed remains constant and
then decreases within 30 seconds to approx. 60% of full
speed. After this or with the flame sensor detect ing “no
flame”, fan speed rises to maximum speed for 60 seconds and run down for 120 seconds is initiated. Rundown is at approx. 60% of full speed and is deactivated
automatically.
NOTE
Re-activation of the heater during run-down is permitted.
Run-down will be completed first with a subsequent restart.
3.2.8 Functions o f the A ir Hea ter in
TRS Vehicles
3.2.5 Control Operation
During control operation fan speed and dosing pump
rate of delivery are subject to heating performance.
The glow plug is deactivated.
3.2.6 Control Idle
After reaching the temperature set w ith the cont rol element, heating performance is controlled to decrease.
The speed of the combustion and heating air fan slows
down and the fuel delivery rate to the dosing pump is reduced. When exceeding the air intake temperature set
with the control element during minimum heating perfor mance, the dosing pump is deactivated after 5 seconds
and combustion terminates.
Fan speed remains constant for 35 seconds and is then
increased to approx. 60% of full speed for cooling the
heater down. the fan then continues to operate at approx. 30% of full speed until temperature is below the
temperature set with the control element . If temperature
falls below the one set with the control element, the
heater will restart (wit hout break a w ay).
NOTE
New settings on the control element are executed by the
control unit/heater w ith a time delay.
NOTE
Applicable only for Air Top 2000 D Air Heaters installed
in vehicles for the transportation of dangerous goods
(TRS).
If the heater is deact ivated using the control element,
run-down will not change.
A short run-down (max . 20 seconds) is automatic ally
activated if:
l
the vehicle engine is turned off
l
a conveyor facility is put into operation
The short run-down time depends on the operational
condition at which TRS switch-off occurs.
A 15 second run-down with m aximum speed is initiated
(TRS switch-off) when:
l
air heater is still in the start phase; stabilization
not yet achieved
l
air heater is in normal run-down
l
air heater is in control idle.
A 20 second run-down is switched on in normal combustion operation and in stabilization with the fuel delivery
immediately halted maintaining the fan speed for 5 seconds. Then the speed is increased to maximum for 15
seconds within for a run-down.
After a TRS switch-off the contr ol unit is in the “error
lockout” condition.
Prior to resuming operation the control element has to
be set to “OFF”.

8 Servicing
8.Servicing
8.1General
This section describes the servicing procedures that
may be performed w ith the air heater installed.
8.2Work on the Air Heater
Prior to performing any work it is mandat ory to disconnect the vehicle battery main lead. As long as the air
heater is in operation or in run-down, the battery mai n
supply must not be disconnected due to the danger of
overheating resulting in a response of the over heat protection.
When performing extensive repairs on the heater a complete removal is advisable.When performing repairs requiring a relocation of the installation position, the
relevant installation instructions and the vehicle-spec ific
installation proposal have to be observed.
8.3Work on the Vehicle
For reasons of the air heater’s functional reliability perform the following servicing:
l
check heating air inlet and outlet for foreign matter
and contamination. (Contaminat ed or clogged heating air ducts may lead to overheating and thus
response of the temperature limiter).
l
Clean air heater exterior (prevent the ingress of
water).
l
Examine electrical connections for corrosion of contacts and for security.
l
Check combustion air and exhaust ducts for damage
and obstructions.
l
Check fuel lines and fuel filter for leakage.
l
Replace fuel filter if installed.
8.6Visual Inspections and Installation
Regulations
8.6.1 Heating A ir Sys te m
CA UTI ON
The integration of the air heater into the vehicle’s own air
system is not permitted due to the system ’s high pressure.
CAUTION
In the vicinity of the air heater a temperature of 85 °C
must not be exceeded under any circumstances (e.g.
during body paint work).
8.4Air Heater Test Run
WARNING
The air heater must not be operated, not even with
timer, in enclosed areas like garages or workshops not
equipped with an exhaust venting facility .
CAUTI ON
Operation of the heater without the control unit cover is
not permitted and causes overheating.
8.5Servicing
NOTE
In order to avoid the seizure of mechanical components,
the air heater should be operated every 4 weeks for at
least 10 minutes.
The air heater can only be operated in the ventilation
mode of operation.
Fitted in the air heater on the heating air intake side is a
temperature sensor, wh ic h operates the heater in the
relevant range of performance in conjunction with the
control element dependent on the air intake temperature
and position of the rated value transmitter. Heating performance is selected so that after quickly reaching the
preselected indoor temperature it is maintained at this
value. 12 Volt heaters (Air Top 2000 without Diagnosis)
may be operated with an external tem perat ure sensor
(see 9.1.2).
Air heaters Air Top 2000 Diagnosis 12 Volt and 24 Volt
may also be operated with an external temperat ure se nsor (see 9.1.2).
Minimum inside diameter of the heating air duct is
55 mm. Standard diameter is 60 mm.
NOTE
For heating air ducting only materials may be used
which are temperatur e-proof to at least 130 °C.
The air heater does not require maintenance. It should
however be checked by Webasto-tr ained skilled perso nnel in regular intervals, the latest before the heating season begins (point of time, when the heater is more
frequently in use due to weather conditions).
Maximum loss of pressure betw een suction and delivery
side of the heating air duct 1.0 mbar (10 mm water
column).
When exceeding this value the temperature limiter is
very likely to respond. The heating air hose is to be secured at its joints.
801
8 Servicing
The air heater, when used in the ventilation mode of
operation, may also be employed for heating air ducting
without any furt her accessor ies. A short circuit of the
heating air flow is to be avoided.
8.6.2 Fuel Supply
Air Top 2000
HG
Fuel is tapped from the fuel reservoir of the vehicle or
from a separate fuel container. The rated pressure at the
fuel tapping location is shown in Fig. 801.

8.6.2.1 Fuel Tapping
Vehicles with Diesel Engine
Fuel tapping must be from the fuel reservoir or from a
separate tank (Figs. 802, 803 and 804). This separate
fuel tapping avoids an influence on the pressure.
Vehicles with Carburettor Engine
Fuel tapping in motorcars may only be performed using
the special Webasto fuel tap (e.g. Ident No. 470 910)
possibly in the vicinity of the fuel tank. Connection to the
supply or return line is optional, the return line must be
routed almost to the tank floor, otherwise the return line
may be extended.
The fuel tap is to be mounted so that air or gas bubbles
can escape towards the fuel tank.
The fuel tap should be located in the engine compartment because the radiation of engine heat may cause
gas bubbles to build up in the fuel lines causing malfunctions in the combustion operation.

In case of a fuel pump mounted externally to the tank
the fuel tap between fuel tank and fuel pump may also
only be fitted using the Webasto fuel tap (e.g. Ident No.
470 910).
H
S
Vehicles with Fuel Injection Engines
When installing the heat er in vehicles with fuel injection
system the fuel pump’s location wit hin or outside the fuel
tank must be investigated first.
If the fuel pump is fitted inside the fuel tank, the fuel may
be tapped only from the return line using the Webasto
fuel tap only (e.g. Ident No. 470 910) ensuring that the
return line is routed almost to the tank floor. If this is not

NOTE
The fitting plate must be made of sheet metal!
8.6.2.2 Fuel Lines
Fuel lines may only be steel, copper, or plastic lines
made of unhardened, light and temperature stabilised
PA 11 or PA 12 ( e.g. Mecanyl RWTL) according to DIN
73378. As in most cases a permanently rising fuel line
routing cannot be ensured, the inner diameter must not
exceed a certain value. Starting from an inside diameter
of 4 mm, air or gas bubbles accumulate resulting in malfunctions should the lines be descending or have sags.
The diameters specified in Fig. 801 ensure no disturbing
formation of bubbles.
A descending line routing from the dosing pump to the
heater should be avoided.
Loose fuel lines must be secured in order to avoid sagging. The installation must ensure prot ection against
stone impacts and undue temperatures (exhaust line).
The fuel line joints are to be secured against slipping
with hos e clamps.

8.6.3 Dosing Pump
The dosing pump is a combined delivery, dosing, and
shut-off system and is subject to cert ain installat ion criteria (see Figs. 801 and 806).
8.6.3.1 Installation Locatio n
It is advantageous to mount the dosing pump in a cool
location. The ambient temperature must never exc eed
+20 °C during operation.
Dosing pump and fuel lines must not be installed in locations exposed to heat radiated by hot vehicle components. A heat shield is to be provided as required.
8.6.3.2 Installation and A tt achmen t
The dosing pump is to be attached with anti-vibration
mounts. The installation location is limited according to
Fig. 806 to ensure sufficient self-venting capability. Due
to the danger of corrosion the plug connection between
dosing pump and dosing pump cable loom may only use
Webasto original parts.
8.6.4 Fuel Filter
If there is the probability of contaminated fuel only the
Webasto filter, Order No. 487 171, may be used. Installation possibly vertical up to horizontal at the most
(observe direction of fl ow).

8.6.5 Combustion Air Supply
Combustion air must under no circum stanc es be extracted from rooms w ith persons. The combustion air
inlet must not point towards the forward direct ion of motion. It must be located so that no clogging by contamination is to be expected.
NOTE
For fuel operated heaters the combustion air tap must
be located in a possibly cool and splash water proof position using a combustion air line.
If the air heater is located in a closed installation box,
combustion air must be taken in from and the exhaust
routed to the exterior. The feedthroughs mus t not allow
exhaust fumes to enter the vehicle interior.
If a contamniated combustion air supply is expected, a
combustion air filter (Ident No. 21963A ) can be fitted
(Air Top 2000 D only).
8.6.6 Exhaust Line
Both lines must be routed away from the heater in a descending attitude. If this is not possible, a condensate
drain hole ø 4 mm must be provided at the lowest point.
Inner diameter of lines:
Combustion air line:22 mm
Exhaust line:22 mm
NOTE
When exceeding an exhaust line length of 2 m, insulated
exhaust lines have to be used (below minimum dew
point).
Smallest bending radius: 50 mm
In order to ensure the angle of 90° ± 10°, an attachment
is required not further than 150 mm away measured
from the exhaust pipe end.
Rigid pipes made of unalloyed or alloyed steel with a
minimum w all thickness of 1.0 mm have to be used as
exhaust line or flexible pipes made of alloyed steel only.
The exhaust pipe is secured to the air heater e.g. with a
clamp.
The exhaust muffler is preferably mounted near the air
heater. The direction of flow is optional.
