FAULT FINDING
The Heatsource HS2000 is equipped with an electronic diagnostic system which will detect
fault conditions ranging from poor gas or electricity supply to internal heater malfunctions. In
the event of a failure the red light on the thermostat (or timer control) will flash a certain
amount of times, pause, and repeat until switched off. Count the amount of flashes and refer
to the table below.
Overheat Cut-Out.
The HS2000 is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal cut-out (in addition to the
electronic cut-out). If the heater reaches an unusually high temperature during operation the
cut-out will disengage the gas solenoid valve. The operation of this cut-out could be caused by
either a restricted hot air outlet or air inlet, or the heater being switched off by a battery
isolating switch depriving it of its purge cycle, the fault code is 2 flashes.

Fault Remedy
1
Flame
failure
Check gas supply making sure there is gas in the bottle and no
blockage in the gas line. Ensure propane is used at
temperatures below +5°C.
Clear lockout as described on page 8.
2
Overheat
fault
Check the air ducts and vents are not blocked or restricted.
Propex recommends that you wait at least 5 to 10 minutes to
allow the heater to cool before clearing lockout as described on
page 8.
3
Low/ high
voltage

15v (for 12v heaters) when measured at the heater. Check
battery voltage. If above 10v, check connections between
heater and battery. Check alternator or external battery
charging. Clear lockout as described on page 8.
4
Combustion
air fault
Check combustion air inlet flue and exhaust flue for blockages.
Clear lockout as described on page 8.
5
Other /
internal fault
Attempt to clear lockout as described on page 8. If this fails.
contact Propex.
