3 Main heater unit and assembly installation requirements
The heater can be installed inside, and outside of the vehicle. Install the heater in a
dry place that is protected from water, condensation, dirt, excessive vibrations, heat
emissions, engine emissions, and fuel or oil contamination.
When installing the heater in a cargo hold of the vehicle, install the heater
at a height and location that prevents contact with cargo and in a way that
the cargo will not obstruct the air intake for the combustion and exhaust
systems.
When installing the heater in the engine compartment, under the front
bumper or under the vehicle, make sure that it is protected from road spray,
rocks, or other contaminants.
It should never be submerged in water or any other type of liquid.
The heater must be installed below the level of the coolant expansion
tank.
When installing the heater on a maritime vessel, it must be protected from
water.
Consider the maximum heel of the vessel. Maximum heel must not bring
water into the discharge channel for exhaust gases. Bilge and water must
also not get on the heater.
The heater cannot be installed in coolant systems where coolant system
pressure can exceed a pressure of 2.1 bar.
The heater must be installed following safety requirements and taking into account
the type of vehicle or vessel being used. Consider everything related to peripheral
equipment, for example, the maximum permissible length of the exhaust gas channel, the
intake of air for combustion, the location of the passage in the board (for maritime vessels),
the layout and length of electric wires, the distance from the fuel tank, and the layout of the
coolant pipes.
All precautions must be observed when installing the heater to reduce the risk of
injuries to personnel, or damage to the equipment.
