declas Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I am sure that along with a number of Eberspacher users we have noted how "insensitive" the switch is. There are times when its cool and you would really like the heater on, yet the switch doesn't switch. Apparently sensitivity can vary between 4-6 degrees C. I am assuming that the remote sensor is a live on switch, as such I am wondering could you spur of that sensor with a manual switch effectively by passing it. Then by switching over manually the heater stays on until you decide to switch off when it then returns to "automatic" heat sensor mode. Can any one help with this idea.

Rayjsj Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I had an Autocruise starlet 2 with an Eberspacher heater and hot water boiler, I also found the heat control a bit ' hit and miss' but mine had a manual override, what model is yours ? I find my Truma Combi 4e far more unreliable and wish we had our Eberspacher back. Plus of course it could be used ' en route'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 PS. My Eberspacher was a Combitronic like this : http://www.eberspacher.com/download-centre/technical-documents/operating-instructions.html?&eID=download&file=fileadmin/data/countrysites/EB_UK/pdf_files/info_pdf_ebuk/technical_docs_pdf_ebuk/operating_pdf_ebuk/combitronic_ct03c_m_operating_22297.pdf A CT03 M model. Whats yours ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
declas Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Its all behind a plated aread underside the van, I believe though its a D2 airtronic it only supplies hot air heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 An installation/operation manual for Airtronic heaters can be downloaded from here http://butlertechnik.com/download/3f/Eberspacher_Airtronic_D2_Technical_Manual.pdf The manual includes wiring diagrams that may help you decide how best to proceed. It’s probably unlikely that a forum member will have made the modification you are proposing and be able to advise on its practicability based on experience. It appears from the manual that it should be straightforward to ‘short out’ the remote temperature sensor (which I assume is what you are considering doing) and force the heater to remain at maximum output, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Like every DIY idea somebody has to be the first to put it into practice. In this instance I think you are going to have to experiment yourself.

declas Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thanks for your reply. I cant see any reason why it shouldnt work. I will think long and hard before I try it. Though it should be relatively straightforward to return it to the original wiring if it doesnt work. Thanks Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
