1.4.2 General safety precautions
The repair and commissioning of the unit may only be carried
out by personnel trained by Webasto. The repair and installation of the unit may only be carried out in accordance with
the workshop manual and the installation instructions.
The of the exhaust pipe ends is to be routed downward, to
the side or, with exhaust gas routing under the vehicle floor,
up to the proximity of the side or rear limitation of the cab or
the vehicle.
The function of parts important for vehicle operation may not
be impaired. It must not be possible for condensate or water
to collect in the exhaust pipe. Drain holes may be used.
Electrical lines, switching and control units of the heater must
be positioned in the vehicle so that their proper operation
cannot be impaired under normal operating conditions.
The ECE-R 122 Appendix 9 3.1.1 must be complied with for
the routing of fuel lines and the installation of additional fuel
tanks.
The main points from this law:
– All fuel tanks used to supply the heater must comply with
the following regulations:
(a) If a leak occurs, the fuel must flow off onto the
ground without it coming into contact with hot parts of
the vehicle or the cargo.
(b) Fuel tanks containing petrol must be provided with an
effective flame arrester at the filling opening or with a
cap with which the opening is kept hermetically sealed.
– The exhaust system and the exhaust lines must be
positioned or protected so that the cargo cannot be
subjected to dangerous heat-up or ignition. Parts of the
exhaust system located directly under the fuel tank
(diesel) must be positioned at a distance of at least
100 mm or must be protected by a heat shield.
The heat exchanger of the air heater may be used for a
maximum of 10 years and must then be replaced with
a genuine spare part by the manufacturer or one of its
authorised workshops. The heater must then be provided with a sign which bears the date of sale and the
word "Original spare part".
When replacing the heat exchanger, it is also mandatory to
replace the blow-out temperature sensor in order to prevent
possible faults when using the old blow-out temperature sensor.
When installed in the vehicle interior, the Air Top Evo 40 / Air
Top Evo 55 heaters must be prepared for installation and
sealing off directly on the cabin floor or on a cabin wall. With
the accessories available from Webasto, detachable connections of the combustion air and exhaust lines are not permitted in the vehicle interior.
The seal between the heater mounting and the vehicle floor
must always be installed, otherwise harmful emissions may
get into the interior of the vehicle.
Cold and combustion air intake openings must be positioned
so that no water can penetrate during a water crossing per-
missible for the respective vehicle.
The combustion heater shall not constitute a risk of fire, even
in the case of overheating. This requirement shall be deemed
to be met if the installation ensures an adequate distance to
all parts and suitable ventilation, by the use of fire resistant
materials or by the use of heat shields.
(Requirement from ECE-R 122, Point 5.3.2.2.).
In the case of M2 and M3 vehicles, the combustion heater
must not be positioned in the passenger compartment. However, an installation in an effectively sealed envelope which
also complies with the conditions in paragraph 5.3.2.2 may
be used.
(Requirement from ECE-R 122, Point 5.3.2.3.).
The installation box must have sufficient external ventilation
to ensure that a maximum temperature of 40 °C is not
exceeded in the box. Malfunctions may occur if the temperature exceeds this level.
The heater must be switched off at filling stations and tank
farms as a result of the risk of explosion.
Wherever inflammable vapours or dust may form (for
example in the vicinity of fuel, carbon, wood dust or cereal
stores or the like), the heater must be switched off as a result
of the risk of explosion.
The heater must not be operated in enclosed areas such as
garages and workshops without an emissions extraction
system, even if you use the timer, because of the risk of
asphyxiation and poisoning.
In case of longer lasting smoke emission, unusual combustion
noises or fuel odours, the heater must be shut down by
removing the fuse and may not be returned to operation
again until after it has been checked by personnel trained by
Webasto. Claims can only be made if it can be verified that
the claimant has complied with the servicing and safety
instructions.
The fuel lines may not make direct contact to the exhaust
pipe and must be thermally insulated if necessary, as otherwise there is a fire danger.
All fuel-carrying lines must be connected leak-tight, may not
be damaged and must be inspected regularly (at least at the
same interval as the vehicle inspection).

NOTE
If damage to or leaks in the fuel line are determined, the
heater may not be operated until the damage has been eliminated by an authorised Webasto specialist workshop.
Put the heater out of action by removing the fuse.
Overheating
Keep the cold air inlet and hot air outlet free of dirt and
objects. Blocked air lines can result in an overheating switchoff.
After an overheating switch-off, the air routing must be
checked for free passage and all materials which impair the
flow of air must be removed or damage to the air routing
must be repaired by an authorised Webasto specialist workshop.
Never remove the grille in front of the cold air inlet.
Then the fault lock-out must be eliminated by switching the
heater off and then on again. If these measures are unsuccessful (overheating occurs again), the vehicle must be taken
to an authorised Webasto specialist workshop again.
The air outlet jets or air vents with adjustable flaps must
always be opened to some extent so that the air current
through the heater is not completely blocked. At least one air
outlet must be non-closable.
If the heater is installed in a storage area, you must ensure
that no inflammable substances are kept in this area and that
other material does not restrict the air supply to the heater.
Air lines must be firmly secured on the heater and at all other
connection points (e.g. air outlets) (e.g. with pipe clamps).
IMPORTANT
• The heater may not be exposed to temperatures of more
than 85 °C (storage temperature). Otherwise the
electronics may suffer permanent damage.
• Do not stand on the heater and do not place any heavy
items on the heater or throw items at the heater.
• Do not place any items of clothing, textiles or similar
materials over the heater or in front of the cold air inlet
and the hot air outlet.
• The current of hot air in the heater must not be restricted
or blocked by highly inflammable substances or materials
such as rags, cleaning wool, etc.
• Inflammable or explosive substances and gases must not
be placed near or in contact with the heater, the hot air
line, the hot air flow or the exhaust pipe.
• The heater must not be cleaned with a high pressure
cleaner.
• Do not switch the heater off at the main battery switch
or battery isolation switch since otherwise it is possible
that it may suffer long term damage if it is switched off
frequently using the battery isolation switch and this can
cause damage and negative influences on the function of
the heater.
Liability claims
Failure to follow the installation instructions and the notes
contained therein will lead to all liability being refused by
Webasto.
The same applies if repairs are carried out incorrectly or with
the use of parts other than genuine spare parts. This will
result in the heater's type approval being voided, and there-
fore also of the General Homologation/ECE Type Approval.
Be sure to read the operating instructions before putting the
heater into operation.

2 General Description
The Air Top Evo 40 / Air Top Evo 55 air heater designed according to the evaporator principle mainly consists of the following:
– The drive unit (drive motor with combustion and heating
air fan)
– The heat exchanger
– The evaporator mount with combustion pipe
– The control unit
– The glow plug
– The housing parts
– The base seal
To control and monitor it, the heater has the following components inside it:
– A control unit with room temperature sensor, speed
sensor (Hall sensor) and air pressure sensor
– A blow-out temperature sensor
– An exhaust temperature sensor
The fuel supply is ensured externally via a fuel pump.
The heater can be controlled with an internal room temperature sensor or an external room temperature sensor (optional).
2.1 Drive unit
The drive unit consists of the drive motor, the combustion air
fan, the heating air fan and the intake housing.
The combustion air fan supplies the air required for the
combustion process from the combustion air inlet to the
evaporator mount.
The heating air fan transports the cold air from the cold air
inlet to the hot air outlet via the heat exchanger.

2.2 Heat exchanger
The heat generated by combustion in the heat exchanger is
given off to the cold air transported by the heating air fan.
2.3 Evaporator mount with combustion pipe
The fuel is distributed via the metal fibre evaporator (fleece)
in the evaporator mount. The mixture of fuel and air burns in
the combustion chamber, thus causing the heat exchanger to
become hot.
2.4 Glow plug
The mixture of fuel and air is ignited by the glow plug when
the heater is started. The glow plug designed as an electrical
resistor is positioned in the burner assembly (evaporator
mount with combustion pipe) on the side facing the flame.

2.5 Exhaust temperature sensor
The exhaust temperature sensor is a low-resistance PTC resistor which changes its resistance in dependence on the temperature change of the exhaust gases. This change in
resistance is also used for flame monitoring.
2.6 Blow-out temperature sensor
The blow-out temperature sensor measures the temperatures in the fin area of the heat exchanger during the entire
heater operation.
The control unit evaluates the signal and regulates the hot air
outlet temperature and controls the overheating switch-off.
2.7 Control unit
The control unit is the central component for ensuring the
operating sequence.
It monitors the components, evaluates the signals of the sensors and regulates the heating mode.
2.8 Fuel pump
The fuel pump is a combined pumping, metering and shut-off
system for the heater fuel supply.
The Air Top Evo 40 / Air Top Evo 55 heaters must be operated
with the DP 42 fuel pump.

3 Function Description
3.1 Control element
Air Top Evo 40 / Air Top Evo 55 can be activated either with
suitable control elements, e.g. rotary selector, combination
timer, or an Air Top Evo Multi Control (MC04).
Operation is described in the operating instructions of the respective control element.
The control element is used to switch the heater on and off,
to set the desired room temperature (between approx. 5 °C
and 35 °C) and the operating indicator.
The installed operating indicator is used
• as switch-on check,
• as a fault signal and
• as a service display.
Additional comfort functions (Eco, Normal, Plus and Ventilation) can be controlled with the Air Top Evo Multi Control
(MC04) control element.
NOTE
ADR operation:
After an ADR switch-off, the heater is in an ADR lock-out.
This is cancelled by switching the device off and then on
again.
3.2 Switching on
Switch on heater.
Set the control element to the required temperature.
The starting process begins when the room temperature is
below the setpoint temperature.
NOTE
If the room temperature is above the selected setpoint temperature, only the drive motor with the combustion and heating air fan runs. When an external room temperature sensor
is connected, the drive unit does not run.
Before starting, a plausibility test of the temperature sensors
is carried out and the function of the exhaust-temperature
flame monitor is checked. If the flame monitor now reports
“light”, the system will attempt to cool the flame monitor for
up to 100 seconds. If the flame monitor still reports “light”
the control unit will suffer a fault lock-out. Also see
Section 3.10, "Fault switch-off".
Start
When the heater is switched on the operating display will be
lit and the glow plug will be switched on (cycled). The drive
motor with the combustion and heating air fan is adjusted to
approx. 50 % of the maximum speed.
After approx. 40 seconds, the fuel pump is put into operation
and flame formation begins. To improve the starting quality,
the fuel pump and the drive unit are controlled with different
frequencies and speeds.
After a further 80 to 120 seconds the glow plug will be
switched off and the existence of the flame established.
Automatic restart
If the flame monitor does not find a flame, the starting procedure will be repeated. The glow plug will be switched on
again (cycled). The drive motor with the combustion and
heating air fan is adjusted to approx. 50 % of the maximum
speed.
After approx. 40 seconds, the fuel pump is put into operation
and flame formation begins.
After a further 80 to 120 seconds the glow plug will be
switched off and the existence of the flame established.
If the heater has again failed to ignite properly, the it will be
shut down using a fault slow down procedure at maximum
speed after approx. 240 seconds and will suffer a fault lockout.
NOTE
After restarting, a fault lock-out of the heater is carried out.
To reset the fault switch the heater off briefly (at least 2 seconds) and then on again.
3.3 Heating mode
Whilst the heater is operating the combustion gases pass
through the heat exchanger. In the process, the combustion
heat is given off to the walls of the heat exchanger, absorbed
by the cold air transported by the heating air fan and routed
into the vehicle interior.
The temperature of the cold air intake is measured by a room
temperature sensor in the control unit or an external room
temperature sensor. If the measured temperature is less than
is set on the control element, the heater output increases to
the maximum heating capacity.
To increase the burner service life in continuous operation,
the delivery capacity of the fuel pump is reduced for 10 seconds every 10 minutes.

www.butlertechnik.com
Air Top Evo 40 / Air Top Evo 55 Function Description
302
In addition, the heating mode is briefly interrupted after every
8 hours and then automatically restarted in the same way as
for a control break. This ensures controlled combustion operation.
3.4 Control mode
In the control mode, the drive motor speed and the fuel
pump quantity are dependent on the heating capacity. The
glow plug is off.
3.5 Control break
After the temperature set on the control element has been
reached the heat output is reduced. The speed of the combustion and heating air fan and the pumping quantity of the
fuel pump are reduced.
If, at minimum heat output, the intake temperature set on
the control element is exceeded, the fuel pump is shut down
and the combustion process ended. To burn off the flame
properly, the drive motor speed falls after 20 seconds to partial load speed and then returns to the initial speed after
20 seconds, after which it falls to the control break speed in
approx. 90 seconds, where it remains for the entire control
break.
The control break speed is 0 if an external room temperature
sensor is used.
If the temperature set on the control element is dropped be-
low the room temperature sensor, the heater starts again.
NOTE
Changes to the setting on the control element are implemented by the control unit and heater after a delay.
3.6 Switching off
When the heater is switched off, the operating display on the
control element goes out. If no fuel has been transported yet
or if the heater is in the control break, the heater is switched
off immediately without a run-on period.
If the fuel transport has been started it is ended when the
heater is switched off. The heater is switched off using the
same method as the transition from control mode to control
break. The heater is then switched off automatically.
NOTE
It is permissible to switch on the heater again during the runon. In this case the run-on is completed and the heater is then
restarted.
3.7 Functions of Air Top Evo System
3.7.1 System design
The Air Top Evo 40 D and Air Top Evo 55 D heaters (diesel)
can be designed as a system with 2 heaters.
Here Unit 1 is defined as the master heater and Unit 2 as the
slave heater. The control element and an external room tem-
perature sensor (T) are connected to the master heater (see
wiring diagram in Figure Fig. 706). The slave heater is con-
nected as shown in the wiring diagram (see Fig. 707) . The
units communicate with each other via a serial bus system.
IMPORTANT
The use of an Air Top Evo system is not permitted for dangerous goods transports (ADRs)!
3.7.2 Installation/Commissioning
Installation
1. Installation of the heaters in accordance with Air Top Evo
40 / Air Top Evo 55 installation instructions
2. Ensure that the electrical connections are in accordance
with the wiring diagram (Fig. 706, Fig. 707)
3. Installation of control element and external room temperature sensor
NOTE
When the heaters are switched on, the system automatically
configures itself as master and slave.
3.7.3 Resetting Master/Slave System
In case of a power failure, the system will be reset to the original state (“Stand Alone”).
It is also possible to reset the system with the Webasto Thermo Test PC Diagnosis (from Version 2.13).
3.8 Heater functions when installed in ADR
vehicles
NOTE
Only applies to Air Top Evo 40 / Air Top Evo 55 heaters installed in vehicles for transporting dangerous goods (ADR).
If the heater is switched off using the control element the
slow down time remains unchanged.
A brief slow down time (max. 40 seconds) is started automatically if
• the vehicle’s engine is switched off
• a transport device is started.
The ADR switch-off can also be triggered by vehicle-specific
safety mechanisms.
Visit www.butlertechnik.com for more technical information and downloads.
www.butlertechnik.com
Function Description Air Top Evo 40 / Air Top Evo 55
303
After an ADR switch-off, the control unit is in the "ADR lockout" position. For repeat start-up, the control element must
be set to "OFF" and the auxiliary drive signal or the vehiclespecific safety mechanism must no longer be active.
The battery isolation switch or the Emergency-Stop switch
may only be operated in case of danger, as the heater is
switched off without any run-on whatsoever (overheating is
possible).
3.10 Fault switch-off
Errors on the various heater components and faults in the
starting process and in heating mode are identified in the
control unit. For safety reasons, the fuel pump will be
switched off after all detected faults. The heater is switched
off and switches into the fault lock-out mode.
For details, see Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting".
3.10.1 Error monitoring
The overheating, incorrect start and flame abort errors are
counted and cause the heater to suffer a fault lock-out after
an error has occurred the maximum number of times.
The incorrect start counter is increased by 1 each time the
heater fails to start. If the incorrect start counter reaches its
maximum permissible value of 9, then the heater is in the
heater lock-out status.
The fault counter is increased by 1 for each malfunction for
which there is no separate counter. If the fault counter reach-
es its maximum permissible value of 5, then the heater is in
the heater lock-out status.
The overheating counter is increased by 1 each time the heater overheats. If the overheating counter reaches its maximum
value of 5, then the heater is in the heater lock-out status.
After a flame abort, a restart is automatically carried out. The
condition for a restart is that the heater was in the control
mode directly beforehand. During the restart the cycle repetition counter is increased by one. This process is repeated
until the heater either burns properly again or the maximum
value of 3 for the cycle repetition counter has been reached.
The flame abort counter FAZ is increased by 1 when the cycle
repetition counter ZWZ has reached the maximum value. If
the flame abort counter reaches its maximum value of 3 the
heater will go into the heater lock-out status.
Automatic reset:
Following each heater start-up, the cycle repetition counter is
set to 0. The fault counter is set to 0 after a fault-free
transition to the control mode and the flame abort counter,
overheating counter, false starting counter and cycle
repetition counter are set to 0 after (!) fault-free combustion
operation (20 min.).

5 Troubleshooting
5.1 General information
If a malfunction occurs, a flashing code is displayed on the
operating indicator or a fault code F .. on the combination
timer.
In addition, the heater can be checked using a personal computer (see Webasto PC Thermo Test PC Diagnosis operating
manual).
IMPORTANT
Troubleshooting work demands precise knowledge of the
structure and theory of operation of the various components
and must be carried out by trained personnel only. The functional relationships are described in Chapter 2 and 3.
IMPORTANT
The troubleshooting guide is restricted to the localisation of
defective components.
The following fault causes should always be checked or a
fault should be excluded for the following reasons:
• Corrosion on connector
• Loose connection on connector
• Poor crimp contacts on plugs
• Corrosion on lines and fuses
• Corrosion on battery terminals
If you wish to check individual components, the electrical
plug connectors on the control unit must be disconnected.
Conduct a function test in the vehicle after rectifying each
fault.
A direct operation of the individual components (with voltage) is not permitted.
5.2 General error symptoms
The following table (Fig. 501) lists possible fault symptoms.
Error symptom Possible cause Remedy
Heater cuts out automatically No combustion after starting and restarting
Operating display flashes
