Areas of application
This radio remote control has been specially developed for controlling your VanHeat diesel air heater. It has been developed for excellent functionality and offers perfect performance and solution possibilities. The design guarantees maximum ergonomic comfort and clear functional operability.

• Depending on the environment and constellation of the radio system, radio ranges of several hundred metres can be achieved. To increase the radio range up to 1,000 m, an external rod antenna is included.

The handheld transmitter has an IP68 classification. This means it can accompany you on a boat trip or on a SUP. It will survive a short fall into the water or transport in a wet bag without damage.

Safety | Coding
The hand-held transmitter is coded at the factory with a permanently assigned and unique serial number for identification. For security reasons, this cannot be changed. The serial number is transmitted encrypted in the radio protocol and therefore cannot be copied. No further settings need to be made on the hand-held transmitter for commissioning.

Components

Functions
The system is configured in this way: By pressing the upper button #01 [page 24 Fig. 1 (3)], the hand-held transmitter sends a signal to the receiver. The hand-held transmitter acknowledges the button press by 1 x green flashing of the control LED [page 24 Fig. 1 (2)]). The VanHeat heating is switched on. By pressing the lower button #02 [page 24 Fig. 1 (4)], a signal is sent to the receiver. The hand-held transmitter acknowledges the keystroke by 1 x green flashing of the control LED [page 24 Fig. 1 (2)]. The VanHeat heating is switched off. In both cases, the receiver sends its own signal back to the hand-held transmitter as feedback and confirmation for the received signal. The hand-held transmitter indicates the reception by 3 times green flashing of the control LED [page 24 Fig. 1 (2)]. If the control LED flashes [page 24 Fig. 1 (2)] flashes red 5 times in response, the hand-held transmitter is outside the range of the receiver.

• The buttons must not be pressed at the same time.

Functions | Key lock
The hand-held transmitter is equipped with an automatic key lock to prevent unintentional actuation of a function key [page 24 Fig. 1 (3+4)]; e.g. if the hand-held transmitter is in a pocket.
Activating the key lock
Press and hold the standby key [page 24 Fig. 1 (1)] for approx. 5 seconds until the control LED [page 24 Fig. 1 (2)] flashes green 3 times. If the automatic key lock is activated, the hand-held transmitter must be switched off by briefly pressing the standby key [page 24 Fig. 1 (1)] to bring it out of sleep mode. Function key #01 and key #02 can then be used. If no other button is pressed within 5 seconds, the hand-held transmitter returns to sleep mode.
Deactivating the key lock
Press and hold the standby key [page 24 Fig. 1 (1)] for approx. 5 seconds until the control LED [page 24 Fig. 1 (2)] flashes red 3 times. When the key lock is deactivated, one of the two function keys can be pressed directly at any time and the radio signal is transmitted.

Radio transmission
The radio transmission is realised on a non-exclusive transmission path, which is why interference cannot be ruled out. Possible interference can be caused by switching operations, electric motors or defective electrical appliances. The radio range in buildings differs greatly from that in the free field. In addition to the transmitting power and the receiving characteristics of the receiver, environmental influences such as humidity and structural conditions on site play an important role. The CARBEST radio remote controls are designed for ranges of several hundred metres under optimal conditions. The maximum range of up to 1,000 m is achieved with line-of-sight contact to the receiver without high-frequency interference in conjunction with the external antenna supplied.

Possible causes for reduced radio range are:

• Buildings of any kind and vegetation.
• Insufficient distance of the antenna to the body, as well as to other conductive surfaces or objects.
• The “background noise” in non-rural areas. This can already be relatively high, reducing the signal-to-noise ratio and thus the radio range.
• The proximity of devices operated in the neighbourhood with similar operating frequencies. These can make the receiver seem less sensitive.
• The proximity of the receiver to poorly shielded devices that produce interference radiation (e.g. PCs). In this case, the radio range may be severely reduced.

Technical data

Parts list

Connection

The illustration shows the exploded view of the components of the VanHeat standard kit. The plug of the cable of the receiver box is connected to the plug of the main wiring harness of the VanHeat heater shown below in Fig. 4 (2) of the main wiring harness of the VanHeat heater. No further wiring is necessary.

Installation
The system is prepared as a plug’n’play system so that the plug of the receiver is connected directly to the wiring harness of the VanHeat heater. The power supply is provided via this connector. A separate power supply is not necessary. This means that no separate cables need to be laid and connected. The hand-held transmitter is delivered in ready-to-use condition with the CR2477 lithium-ion battery inserted.

Maintenance
The battery life depends on the use of the hand-held transmitter. If the range decreases considerably or it is no longer possible to carry out any functions, the battery must be replaced. If the control LED does NOT light up, this also indicates a weak or empty battery. To change the battery, open the battery compartment on the back (e.g. with a coin) by turning the battery compartment cover anti-clockwise to the left in the direction of the arrow “OPEN” by about 90°. Remove the old battery and insert a new CR2477 lithium-ion battery into the battery compartment according to the polarity markings (+ upwards). Close the battery compartment by placing and pushing in the battery compartment cover (triangle on triangle) and turn it to the right until it stops. Remove the battery from the handheld transmitter if it will not be used for a long time. The product is otherwise maintenance-free for you. Leave any repair work to a specialist. Clean the product with a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents, as this may attack the plastic housing and the labelling.

Troubleshooting
During use, the remote control may not operate normally.

In this case:

• Shorten the distance between transmitter and receiver
• Check the battery in the handheld transmitter
• Check the connection between receiver and external antenna

Disposal
The components of the radio remote control must not be disposed of in household waste! Electronic devices must be disposed of in accordance with the directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment via the local collection points for waste electronic equipment.  Do not leave the packaging material carelessly lying around, plastic foils/ bags, polystyrene parts, etc., could become a dangerous toy for children.
