Installation / Operation Instructions
General
Thank you for choosing Webasto to meet your heating needs. The Webasto SmarTemp Control fx enables you to
preset start-up cycles of your Webasto heater 7 days a week with 4 individual times each day.
Operation
The Webasto SmarTemp Control fx is controlled using a rotary dial around the outside of the unit to browse through
different menu options. Simply click the selection button ( ) to make your choice. The following sections will define
each menu item and its default setting.
Compatibility
All Coolant Heaters. The SmarTemp Control fx has an output of 1A for the heaters ON/OFF signal. Heaters requiring a
higher amperage signal will require a relay to accommodate different specifications. See electrical connections for
details.
Note: Relay not included.
Mounting Procedure
1. Find a suitable mounting location (on a flat surface if possible) in a visible area. Note: Always install in an area
protected from the effects of weather and contamination.
2. Use the drilling dimensions to lightly mark the two mounting holes.
3. (Optional Step) To route wire harness through the mounting surface,
drill a 17mm hole as notated on the drilling dimensions image.
NOTE: Always make sure there are no obstacles behind the mounting
location prior to drilling.
4. Secure the Webasto SmarTemp Control fx using the two supplied #4
screws.
5. Apply the supplied “Heater Off” warning sticker in a highly visible
location to the drivers area. Refer to the example sticker below.

Two modes are possible:
Manual
– Auto mode enables the pre-defined timer programs. Standard ON/OFF
functionality is still possible while in this mode.
– Manual Mode allows the heater to be operated via the Webasto button
on the SmarTemp Control fx. While in Manual Mode, all Auto Mode
functionality is indefinitely disabled.
Note: While in manual mode the heater will continue to operate based on
the pre-defined “Duration” set by the user. See “Duration” for further
detail.
Language changes between English, Spanish, and French. English
Duration allows user to select heater runtime of the heater. Set range is
60 minutes
between 10 – 120 minutes selectable by 10 minute increments.
While using Manual Mode, the “Duration” setting will be used for the
runtime of the heater when the Webasto button is pressed.
Note: Setting the Duration run-time (in the Duration section) before setting
a timer program will default all new programs to the user defined duration
time.

Timer
Skip
LVD
There are 4 heater start-up cycles possible 7 days per week. Select the day or
the specific timer (T1 – T4) using the rotary knob and the selection button.
Once the day, time, and duration have been entered, press the selection
button to set. A checkmark will confirm the timer has been saved. To turn
the timer OFF, select the timer checkmark and dial the duration down to the
OFF position and click the selection button.
The Skip feature looks similar to timer programming; however when a
specific timer program is selected, it will update the checkmark to an “s” for
skipped. When a program has been skipped, it will disable that specific timer
program for one cycle (7 day period). Preset timer programming will
reactivate after this one-time skip cycle.
Note: To permanently turn a timer OFF, refer to the “Timer” section.
LVD “Low Voltage Disconnect” allows the user to adjust the battery voltage
level at which the Webasto SmarTemp Control fx will shut down heater
functionality.
If battery voltage is equal to or less than the threshold selected +0.1v, the
heater will not start. i.e. if an 11.5v threshold is selected the heater cannot
be started until B+ has reached 11.7v.
12 volt - Range between 11v – 12.5v
24 volt - Range between 21v – 25.5v

This section will log the last 5 error codes and the date that it was set.
Highlight and select an error code for a full description.
If the heater produces an error code, the status indicator lights will flash red
and the error will display on the main screen. Error codes cannot be reset
through the Webasto SmarTemp Control fx. Refer to the heater service
manual for resetting an error code.
Note: Error code functionality does not apply to most coolant heaters.
Codes on products with no blink code functionality can still be obtained
using the PC Diagnostics test tool. Refer to the applicable service manual by
visiting
www.techwebasto.com for detailed PC diagnostics information.
The hour meter logs the operating hours of an active ON signal to the
heater. This does not reflect the true runtime of the heater itself.
Note: For warranty purposes a diagnostic printout is still required where
applicable. This hour meter is for reference only!
Default allows the user to perform a factory reset of the control settings and
saved timer program data.
