NOTE:
The specifications of this Directive are binding in the scope of the
Basic Directive EEC/70/156 and/or EC/2007/46 (for new vehicle
models from 29/04/2009) and should also be observed in countries
in which no special regulations exist.
See chapter 1.2, "Extract from directives 2001/56/EC Annex VII and
ECE R122 Part I and Annex 7" and chapter 1.3, "Extract from directives 2001/56/EC Annex IX and ECE R122 Annex 9".
IMPORTANT
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 invalidation of the type approval for
the heater and therefore of its homologation / EC type licence .
NOTE:
For vehicles with an EU permit, no entry in accordance with § 19 Sub-Section 4 of Annex VIII b to the Road Traffic Act is required.
1.1. Application of combustion heaters in vehicles for transporting dangerous goods

derived for our combustion heaters:
• The electrical cable/wiring harness must be sufficiently dimensioned to
prevent overheating. The electrical cable/wiring harness must be sufficiently insulated. All power circuits must be protected with fuses or automatic circuit-breakers.
• The cables must be securely fastened and routed so that they are suffi-
ciently protected against mechanical and thermal loading.
• The combustion heaters must be type-tested in accordance with the
standard ECE R122 (equivalent to EC/2001/56 in the version EC/2006/
119) and comply with the Appendix 9 – Additional regulations for vehicles for transporting dangerous goods.
• The combustion heaters and their exhaust gas routing shall be de-
signed, located, protected or covered so as to prevent any unacceptable
risk of heating or ignition of the load.
• In the event of any leakage of the fuel line, the fuel shall drain to the
ground without coming into contact with hot parts of the vehicle or the
load;
• The exhaust system as well as the exhaust pipes shall be so directed or
protected to avoid any danger to the load through heating or ignition.
Parts of the exhaust system situated directly below the fuel tank shall
have a clearance of at least 100 mm or be protected by a thermal shield.

IMPORTANT
The statutory regulations governing installation (see chapter 1, "Statutory
regulations governing installation") must be adhered to. The requirements
of the latest version of the ADR must also be observed for the installing the
heater into vehicles used to transport hazardous substances.
The heater must not be operated without the control unit cover (this will
cause the heater to overheat).
3.1. Air Top Evo 3900 / Air Top Evo 5500 installation situation
NOTE:
Check the installation situation of the relevant vehicle type.
3.2. Installation location
The heater may be fitted both in the interior or on the exterior of the vehicle.
When using the vehicle in normal road traffic, the heater may only
be installed with contact protection if it is located within reach of
the driver.
If it is installed on the exterior ensure that the heater is fitted in a position
where it is protected from splashing water and spray. The heater must be
installed in such a way that no water can ingress into it if the vehicle travels
through a water hazard for which that vehicle is licensed.
The openings for the combustion air inlet port, the exhaust outlet port and
the fuel pipe must be sealed if the heater is installed in the interior. The seal
designed and supplied for this purpose must be used (see Figure 3).
3.3. To install the heater
The M6 nuts must be tightened with a torque of 6 Nm (-0 Nm,+1 Nm) for
installing the Air Top Evo 3900 or Air Top Evo 5500 heater.
The installation dimensions and space requirement for service access are
shown in the installation drawing (Figure 1). The specified horizontal and
axial angles must not be exceeded (Figure 2).
A seal (Figure 3) must be fitted between the heater and the vehicle body.
This seal must be replaced each time the heater is installed. The support area for the heater foot must be flat. A special tools can be purchased from Webasto to drill the holes and, if necessary, smooth the support area. The seal can compensate for unevenness of max. 1 mm
IMPORTANT
After installation, check that the casing is not in contact with any parts of
the vehicle body. A failure to do this may result in the hot air fan blocking.

5.1. Design as system
The variants Air Top Evo 3900 AM and Air Top Evo 5500 AM enable up to
4 heaters to be operated in one system.
Here Unit 1 is defined as the master heater and others as slave heaters. The
heater control and an external temperature sensor (T) are connected to the
master heater (see wiring diagram in Figure 34, 36 and 38). The slave heater is connected in accordance with the wiring diagram (see Figure 39). The
units communicate with each other via a serial bus system.
This system can therefore be individually adapted to the applications by
combining several heaters.

6Hot air system
NOTE:
The heater must not be integrated into the vehicle’s air system.
Inside the control unit there is a temperature sensor, which operates the
heater in the appropriate heat output range in conjunction with the control
element depending on the intake temperatures and the position of the setpoint generator. The heat output is controlled such that after the selected
interior temperature has been reached quickly, it is then kept at this selected value.
Both recirculation and fresh air modes are possible.
For fresh air mode it must be ensured that the hot air is taken from an area
protected from splashing water and spray and in such a way that no water
can ingress into the heater if the vehicle travels through a water hazard for
which that vehicle is licensed.
NOTE:
For fresh air mode an external temperature sensor must be fitted in the appropriate zone.
Recommended internal diameter of the main section of the hot air line:
90 mm for the Air Top Evo 5500 80 mm for the Air Top Evo 3900
NOTE:
Only materials that can permanently withstand temperatures of at least
130 °C may be used for the hot air line. The hot air opening is to be positioned in such a way that the air is not blown on to any parts that cannot
withstand the heat.
IMPORTANT
In vehicles used to transport people, the air outlet opening is to be directed
in such a way that it is at least 20 cm away from all body parts.
Maximum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet side of the hot air
line:
Air Top Evo 3900 2.0 hPa
Air Top Evo 5500 3.0 hPa
1 hPa corresponds to 1 mbar corresponds to 10 mm water column.
The heaters check the internal temperature rise automatically each time
they are switched on. If this is above the specified limits, the start is cancelled and error messages F10 is displayed. To ensure that the heater functions stably, the flow resistance of the connected hot air system must be
reduced.
The points table for air guide parts in the Webasto catalogue may be used
to design the hot air system.
The hot air hose must be secured at its connection points.
If the heater is used in recirculation mode without a hot air guide, do not
short circuit the hot air flow.
Fig. 7Hot air inlet and hot air outlet
IMPORTANT
If you use the heater without a hot air inlet hose, the inlet grille supplied
with the heater must be used at all times.
63
Page 18
Hot air systemAir Top Evo 3900 / Air Top Evo 5500
NOTE:
The installation must be checked for:
– Air short circuit between the vehicle’s heating system and the heater air
inlet
– Air short circuit between the heater’s air inlet and the heater’s air outlet
(Figure 7)
Fig. 8Hot air inlet with inlet grille
If you use an installation box the air vent must be sealed in such a way that
no hot air can get into the installation box.
6.1. External temperature sensor
For fresh air mode an external temperature sensor must be fitted in the appropriate zone.
6.1.1.To install the external temperature sensor
The external temperature sensor must be installed at medium height in the
passenger cabin on vertical surfaces if possible in the area that requires
heating.
The temperature sensor must not
– be in the direct current of hot air (from the vehicle’s own heating system
or the hot air heater).
– by close to heat sources (for example the vehicle’s own heating system).
– be placed in direct sunlight (for example on the dashboard).
– be installed behind curtains or the like.

7.1. Vehicles with carburettor engines
The fuel may only be extracted using the special Webasto fuel extractor
(see Figure 10) as close to the tank as possible. The connect may be made
in either the supply or return line, in which case the return line must lead
almost to the base of the tank (see Figure 11).
The fuel extractor must be fitted in such a way that any air or gas bubbles
are automatically discharged towards the tank (see Figure 10).

to metering pump
Fig. 10 Webasto fuel extractor
The fuel extractor should not be located near the engine, as gas bubbles
may form in the lines on account of heat radiated from the engine. This
may cause problems during combustion.
to engine
7.2. Vehicles with injection engines
When installing the heater in a vehicle with fuel injection system, it is important to establish whether the vehicles fuel pump is located inside or
outside the tank.
If the fuel pump is located inside the tank, fuel can only be extracted from
the return line using the Webasto fuel extractor (see Figure 10), in which
case it must be checked to ensure that the fuel return pipe in the tank terminates near the bottom of the fuel tank (see Figure 11 for details of the
minimum distance from the bottom of the tank). If this is not the case Webasto fuel extractor (see Figure 11, 12 and 13) may be used.
If the fuel pump is installed outside the tank, the fuel connection may also
be made between the tank and the fuel pump, again using only the Webasto fuel extractor (see Figure 10).
7.3. Vehicles with diesel engines
The fuel must be taken from the vehicle fuel tank or from a separate tank
(see Figs. 11, 12 and 13). This separate fuel pick-up precludes any effect of
pressure.
NOTE:
The tank fitting must be made from metal!
7.4. Fuel lines
Only steel, copper and plastic lines of plasticised, light and temperaturestabilised PA 11 or PA 12 (e.g. Mecanyl RWTL) pursuant to DIN 73378 may
be used for the fuel lines.
Since the lines normally cannot be routed with a constant rising gradient,
the internal diameter must not be allowed to exceed a certain size. Air or
gas bubbles will accumulate in lines with an internal diameter of more than
4 mm and these will cause malfunctions whilst the heater is operating if

The metering pump is a combined delivery, metering and shut-off system
and is subject to certain installation criteria (see Figures 9, 15 and 16).
7.5.1.Installation location
The metering pump must be installed in a cool place as close as possible to
the tank (see Figure 9). The maximum ambient temperature must not exceed +20 °C for petrol heaters at any time during operation.
The metering pump and fuel lines must not be installed within range of the
radiated heat from hot vehicle parts. A heat shield must be used if necessary.

The metering pump must be secured with a vibration-damping mounting
(for example a rubberised clip). Its installation position is limited as shown
in Figures 15 and 16 in order to ensure effective automatic bleeding.
As a result of the risk of corrosion, only genuine Webasto parts may be
used for the plug connections between the metering pump and the metering pump wiring harness.
7.6. Fuel filter
Only a Webasto filter, order no. 487 171, is allowed to be used if the fuel
is expected to be contaminated. Install vertically if possible, however at
least horizontally (check flow direction).

Combustion air supplyAir Top Evo 3900 / Air Top Evo 5500
8Combustion air supply
Under no circumstances may the combustion air be taken from areas occupied by people. The combustion air intake opening must not point in the
direction of travel. It must be located so that it cannot become clogged
with dirt.
NOTE:
An intake silencer must be fitted if the intake hose length is shorter than
0.6 m.
NOTE:
The combustion air must be extracted using a combustion air line from a
position that is as cool as possible and protected from splashing water.
Do not use an exhaust line as the combustion air line since otherwise the
metering pump cable from the combustion air inlet port may be damaged.
The combustion air opening must not be under the minimum water drivethrough level permitted for the vehicle.
See the statutory regulations for the installation for further regulations.

11Electrical connections
All lines that are not required must be insulated at their free end.
NOTE:
If the combination or standard timer is used, a touch-sensitive switch may
be installed in the sleeping section to act as a remote control and improved
convenience. The connections must be made as shown in the circuit diagrams in Figures 36 and 37.
The electrical connection is made as shown in the system circuit diagram
(Figures 34 to 39).
11.1. Connection for installing the heater in a hazchem vehicle
(ADR)
To install the Air Top Evo 3900 D and Air Top Evo 5500 D heaters in
hazchem vehicles, the requirements of ADR/RID part 9 para. 9.2.4.7 –
Combustion heating systems, must also be satisfied. The electrical connection is made as shown in the circuit diagram in Figure 35 and 39.
NOTE:
The switch S3 must be installed in such a way that a positive potential is
connected to appropriate input of the control module when a pumping device is switched on.
IMPORTANT
All ADR functions are ineffective if there is no earth at control unit input
X6/1 when the system is switched on.
The control unit continues to run briefly for a maximum of 40 seconds and
then switches to the "ADR lock-out" operating mode when a positive voltage is connected to control unit input X6/1 (auxiliary power take-off on) or
the engine is switched off.
IMPORTANT
In accordance with the regulations of the act governing the road/rail haulage of hazardous materials, heaters are only allowed to be taken into service with a special manually operated switch fitted in the cab.
If the system is equipped with a combination timer, ensure that contact 4
on the combination timer remains free. The heater can then only be taken
into service using the immediate heat button.
The use of other timers in ADR vehicles is not permitted.
11.2. Heater connection
To connect the wiring harness, remove the control unit cover on the heater
and connected the wiring harness plug to the control unit.
Fig. 24 Removing control unit cover
NOTE:
Raise the control unit cover on both sides using a blunt blade (Figure 24
arrows).
Before using the heater for the first time fit the control unit cover to prevent the illegal escape of hot air (heater overheating).

Air Top Evo 3900 / Air Top Evo 5500Initial start-up
14Initial start-up
After you have installed the heater, bleed the fuel supply system carefully.
NOTE:
As a result of the low fuel consumption the heater must be switched on
several times to fill the fuel line.
Until the fuel lines have been filled the heater may switch into a fault lockout for safety reasons - see chapter 15, "Fault lock-out".
Conduct a trial of the heater to check all the connections for leaks and to
ensure that they are secure. If the heater suffers a fault during operation,
the fault must be located and remedied.
14.1. Initial installation/initial operation of Air Top Evo system
Installation
1. Installation of heaters according to the installation instructions
2. The resistor R1 (Fig. 33) must be removed on all slave heaters
3. Ensure that the electrical connections are in accordance with the sys-
tem wiring diagram (Fig. 34, Fig. 36, Fig. 38)
4. Installation of the heater control and external temperature sensor
NOTE:
The master heater is only configured as the master if a heater control and
an external temperature sensor is detected.
2. Then produce connection between Master and Slave 1 (see system
wiring diagram)
=> Slave 1 heater switches into "Ventilation" state
3. Produce connection from Slave 1 to Slave 2
(see system wiring diagram)
=> Slave 2 heater switches into "Ventilation" state
4. Teach additional slave heaters (repeat Point 2 and 3)
5. Switch off master heater with heater control
=> Initial start up completed
NOTE:
Teaching a slave heater is only possible for a limited time (120 sec)! If this
time is exceeded, teaching is no longer possible and the system must be
reset (see Workshop Manual ).
89

Initial start-upAir Top Evo 3900 / Air Top Evo 5500
14.2. Resetting Air Top Evo System
If for some reason (communication error, time expired, etc.) teaching has
not functioned, it is possible to reset the system to its original state.
1. Switch master heater into "Ventilation" mode
2. De-energise/pull fuse
NOTE:
All connected heaters must be disconnected from Terminal 30!
3. Connect voltage and repeat teaching process (see "Initial installation/
initial operation").
90
Page 45
Air Top Evo 3900 / Air Top Evo 5500Fault lock-out
15Fault lock-out
The control unit has identified errors on individual heater components and
faults during the operation.
The heater is shut down (fault lock-out) if:
– No or incorrect start
– Temperature sensor defective
– Overheating sensor interrupt or short circuit
– Overheating sensor installed incorrectly
– Glow plug interrupt or short circuit
– Fan motor overload or blocked
or short circuit or interrupt
– Error in the metering pump or overheating guard circuit (start phase on-
ly)
– Undervoltage < 10.5 or overvoltage > 16 V, longer than 20 seconds (for
12 V heater)
– Undervoltage < 20.5 or overvoltage > 31 V, longer than 20 seconds (for
24 V heater)
– Control unit defective
–Overheating
The fuel supply is stopped if the heater overheats.
The heater continues to run in the same way as if it is switched off manually.
After it stops the control unit will be set to fault lock-out.
The overheating is indicated by the indicator flashing 10 times.
Rectify the cause of the fault.
To reset the fault switch the heater on and off briefly (at least 2 seconds).
If serious faults like overheating or failure to start occur frequently, then the
heater will be locked permanently (F12). It can be returned to operation by
disconnecting the supply voltage with the heater switched on (e.g. remove
fuse and install again).
Repairs must only be carried out by specialist personnel trained by Webasto.

Fault lock-outAir Top Evo 3900 / Air Top Evo 5500
15.1. Error code output
NOTE:
The error code is output if the heater is fitted with a control element after
an error has occurred by the switch-on indicator/error code indicator flashing. After 5 seconds of fast flashing, the error code will be output by a sequence of long flash pulses, the number of flashes is shown in the table
below.
If the heater is fitted with a combination timer, an error message will appear on the display of the timer after a fault occurs:
F 00Control unit error / incorrect parameter set /
warm start recognition
F 01No start / no flame formation
F 02Flame failure (repeated >3)
F 03Undervoltage or overvoltage
F 04Premature flame recognition
F 06Temperature sensor interrupt or
temperature sensor short-circuit
F 07Metering pump interrupt or metering pump short circuit
F 08Fan motor interrupt or fan motor short circuit
or fan motor overload or fan motor blocked
F 09Glow plug interrupt or glow plug short circuit
F 10Overheating
F 11Overheating sensor interrupt or
overheating sensor short circuit
F 12Heater lock-out
F 14Overheating sensor incorrect position
F 15Setpoint generator interrupt
Air Top Evo System:
The displayed error codes (F00 - F15) for an Air Top Evo system match an
error on the master heater. If an error occurs on the slave heater, only the
service code is output (operation indicator flashes with 1 sec. on and 1 sec.
off).
