5.4 LCD Strip Heater
See Graphic: wc_gr001724, wc_gr001725
The LCD strip heater option includes a thermostat module (a) and a
clear heater strip that is bonded to the LCD (b) of the ECM. The
purpose of the strip heater is to prevent the LCD from being damaged
by extremely cold temperatures. The resistance of the coiled element
of the heater is sensed by the thermostat. The resistance of the
element changes with temperature. At approximately -30°C, the
resistance value triggers the thermostat to send power to the element.
The LED (c) of the thermostat module flashes during operation.
It is important to note that the LCD strip heater is always on and thus
draws power (a very small amount) from the battery even when the unit
is not running. If the battery should fail, the heater will also fail. Be sure
to keep the battery charged when the generator is not in use.
