Heat 1500+ Bluetooth
User Manual

Key features

HEAT is complete heating unit, with heating elements, fan, chassis and a control device
HEAT is very simple to install into a caravan, an auto camper of into a sailing boat
HEAT is equipped with heating elements in 3 steps, 500W, 1000W and 1500W
All functionalities are controlled by the simple and elegantly control panel

Installation

HEAT is a fan driven unit. It has been developed to be inserted into the heating tubes in most caravans and auto campers.
Find a suitable place for HEAT. It might be under the bed, in a closet or behind the gas oven.
The air tubes that HEAT shall operate into are cut by a knife. HEAT is inserted between the two air tubes and fastened by 4 screws.
The flanges on HEAT are designed to fit to the standard air tubes in the caravan.
Internally Ø65mm (65mm tube) or externally Ø67mm (72mm tube). Two small holes in the flanges are used to secure the tube by use of a small screw.c

Connections

The power cord is connected to the 230V supply in the wagon in a proper way. Make sure that the connection can handle a power consumption of 6,5 Amp.
HEAT is delivered with the power cord and the controller cord connected into the heating device. Thus, it is not necessary to open HEAT before installation.
The control panel is placed where the temperature in the wagon is normal.
The temperature regulation is done in the control panel. Inside the control panel a temperature sensor is installed. Therefore, it is important that the control panel is placed in a way that it can sense the temperature in the wagon and not have the risk of being covered in any way.
HEAT is delivered with 5 meters wire for the control panel equipped with a standard plug.
Any excess wire after the installation is coiled and strapped.
The back plate on the control panel is removed and is installed in the wagon. It can be placed on a bulkhead or on a closet wall. Secure this back plate with 4 small suitable screws. Drill a 13mm hole in the plate the back plate is installed onto. The wire for the control panel is guided to this hole and inserted into the hole. The plug on the wire is inserted into the socket of the control panel and the control panel is clicked onto the back plate.
The installation has now finished and is ready for action.
You can find inspiration for installation on our homepage at: www.herocamper.com

How to use

When 230V are connected to HEAT, the unit is ready for use.
You will find 7 push buttons and 2 LEDs on the control panel. HeroCamper Heat
1500 + Bluetooth - How to use

Push the power button, the heater is activated.
Push the fan button, set fan speed.
Push fan button the 1 time, fan speed setting activated.
Push fan button more than 1 time, fan speed changed.

See left upper, the Fan with 3 lines indicates 3 levels:

1 line means that the fan runs on level 1.
2 Lines means that the fan runs on level 2.
3 Lines means that the fan runs on level 3.
No lines means that the fan is not running.
Push the heat button, set heat level.
Push heat button 1 time, heat setting is activated.
Push heat button more than 1 time, heating level is changed.

See right upper, Heat with 3 lines indicates 3 levels:

1 Line means that the heat runs on level 1.
2 Lines means that the heat runs on level 2.
3 Lines means that the heat runs on level 3.
No Lines means not heating.

The fan button and heat button operate in a ”rolling action.”
This means that each of the buttons has 5 steps. If you push 3 times on the button the function will shift from 1 to 2 to 3. If you push the button the 4 times, the function will shift from 3 to 2. If you push button the 5 times, the function stops, and you are back to zero.
Push ℃/℉ button shift temperature unit.
Push light button turn on/off LEDs.
Push temperature up button 1 time, screen will show the room temperature. Pushing temperature up button more than one time, will be able to adjust the temperature setting up or down.
Now turn on the desired heating level with the desired fan speed.
When the temperature in the wagon has stabilized you simply adjust the temperature in the wagon by push temperature up/down button on the control board.
On the control board you can see on what level the fan and the heat operate.
There are two LED on the control board. When heater is powered up. The LED on the top will green. If error occurs, the upper LED will be red and starting to flash.
The lower LED will work when the room temperature is lower than the setting temperature. The heat is on and is trying to raise the room temperature to the desired level.
If the lower LED off which means that the desired room temperature has been reached. The heating elements in the HEAT are now off but the fan continues on the selected level.
When the room temperature falls below the desired level the heating elements are turned on again and the LED below will light up.
In this way HEAT regulates the room temperature constantly to achieve the most comfortable room temperature in the wagon.
Memory
HEAT has a memory function. If you turn off it or power off it, and you turn on it or power on it again, it will work as the same way as it did last time.

Cooperation with a Truma gasoven

If HEAT is installed in a wagon together with a Truma gas oven, these 2 units can easily work together.
The heat from the gas oven can easily pass thru HEAT. You can operate the fan on the Truma gas oven as normally.
If HEAT is placed nearby the Trauma gas oven connected to this by the air tubes and you are running the gas oven on maximum output, the air flow from the gas oven can become so hot that the first security function on HEAT can be activated. If so, simply increase the Truma fan speed or lower the gas burner level on the Truma oven a little bit.

Errors

HEAT is equipped with 3 security systems ensuring that HEAT will not overheat.
First system constantly monitors the outlet temperature and is controlling the heating elements directly.
Second security system is a thermostat mounted on the internal metal plates monitoring the internal housing temperature. If this temperature exceeds a level, HEAT will turn off the heating elements, start up the fan on maximum level and try to lower the internally temperature. This is indicated by flashing the upper LED and the warning sign on the screen. The warning sign will flash on the screen.
When the thermostat sense temperature is below level again, HEAT will turn on. You will be able to operate HEAT again in normal way.
Third security system is also monitoring the internal housing temperature. This thermostat is connected to the main supply directly and will simply cut off the mains supply if this temperature level is exceeded. This is indicated by flashing the upper LED and the warning sign on the screen. The warning sign will flash on the screen. This thermostat needs to be manually reset. The thermostat is situated under the main lid.
Attention! Do not open the cover when power is connected to HEAT.
