101
1 Introduction
Air Top 2000 S
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 stations and fuel depots the heater must be
switched off as there is a potential danger of explosion.
Where flammable fumes or dust may build up (e.g.
in the vicinity of fuel, coal, wood, cereal depots, or
similar installations) the heater 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 telestart 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 replaced 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 routed through rooms
accommodating persons, these pipes shall 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 Air Line
The combustion air required must be taken from the
exterior.
Within rooms accommodating persons, the combustion
air lines must not have more than four disconnects and a
splash-water protected exterior wall 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 than
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 exhaust
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.
102
Air Top 2000 S
Metal lines must be used. These may not heat to more
than 110 °C should there be the possibility of contact
within the room interior. Protective devices against contact may be fitted.
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. Electrical
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 components 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.
1 Introduction
Installation Rules for Webasto Fuel Tanks for the
Fuel Supply of Heaters in Vehicles
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 gasoline 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.

3.1Functional Description Air Top 2000 S
3.1.1 Control Element
The control element is used to switch the air heater on
and off, set the desired room temperature (air intake temperature 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).
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 moment) and is then under slow-down 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 motor 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.
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 3.1.3).
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 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 3.1.8) with a run-down 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-down) and
the heater enters the error lockout condition.
3.1.3 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.
301
3 Functional Description
Air Top 2000 S
3.1.4 Heating Operation
During operation the combustion exhaust gasses flow
through the heat exchanger charging its walls with combustion 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 fitted 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 maximum
heat. In order to extend the burner idle period of Diesel
operated heaters during permanent operation with a
heating performance in excess of 1.1 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.
3.1.5 Control Operation
3.1.7 Switch-Off
Switching the heater off extinguishes 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 detecting “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.
3.1.8 Switch-off upon Failure
The control unit recognizes failures of individual air
heater components and malfunctions in the start sequence and in normal operation.
During control operation fan speed and dosing pump
rate of delivery are subject to heating performance.
The glow plug is deactivated.
3.1.6 Control Idle
After reaching the temperature set with the control 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 performance, 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 (without break away).
NOTE
New settings on the control element are executed by the
control unit/heater with a time delay.
The air heater is deactivated and enters the error lock
out mode under the following conditions:
flame sensor open or short circuit
temperature sensor open or short circuit
glow plug open or short circuit
fan motor open or short circuit or fan speed wrong
dosing pump open or short circuit
overheating
low voltage below 10 Volt or high voltage above
15 Volt in excess of 20 seconds for 12 Volt heaters
low voltage below 20 Volt or high voltage above
30 Volt in excess of 20 seconds for 24 Volt heaters
A switch-off like in “switch-off” will be performed.
In case of overheating there will be no fuel supply. After
run-down the control unit is in the error lockout mode.
The operation indication outputs a flash code.
For error unlock the air heater has to be switched off
momentarily (at least 2 seconds) before switching on.
