How to fix static heating when it doesn't work in the mountains
If you have ever had static heating, you will know that there is something called ALTITUDE SICKNESS. If you continue reading, I'll explain to you what it is, and how to solve it.
IMPORTANT When to set this height setting?
The answer is ALWAYS There are countless different pump models, and the sellers do “KITS” They buy the pump somewhere.. screen in another.. heating body in another… etc., so we can find that a screen comes “moderately well configured” and another one that comes very badly, such as a 2kw, with the configuration that the screen comes from the factory, which is for 5kw.
Change it or not, it's your decision, and only yours, I advise you to copy “your original configuration” and the guards, in case you modify it, then you can go back to the one you had.
What is altitude sickness in stationary heating??
Above 1200/1500/2000m the amount of oxygen in the air varies, so setting an appropriate configuration is essential so that it does not fail in the middle of the night..
Poor combustion leaves residue “cinder” that with the passage of time “hours.. days..” They will accumulate in the combustion chamber, hindering the passage of air, working worse and worse, until there comes a time when it turns off and you may not be able to get it to start again..
You will know that it does not work well, because black smoke will come out of the exhaust, will have traces of carbon, etc.. at all times the combustion must be without “black smoke” not to be confused with white smoke or vapor from combustion.
How do I know if my heating has altitude sickness?
You will know that your heating is affected by this phenomenon when:
- After a few hours of operation it shows some type of error on the screen. It could be both fan error E-08 like E-10.
- Accompanied by the error code we will observe thick white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. (extinguished flame).
- The heating will draw air at room temperature, tempt the cold.
Once this occurs, the combustion chamber will most likely be full of carbon, A trick is to put pressurized air through the intake pipe at a gas station so that the accumulated carbon comes out through the exhaust., It won't always work, but if it does much better. If you suspect it has carbon and you manage to remove it, It is not necessary to turn it off to put pressurized air into it..
If that trick doesn't work, It's going to be necessary to dismantle the heater to clean it inside., you will need this key for the spark plug. If you do it with pliers you can break it, luckily he spare part it's not expensive.
Also tell you, which does not always have to be due to altitude sickness, it could be other things, how to have a very low battery, or half dead, and this would not have enough power to ignite the diesel, or the spark plug itself has been damaged and does not heat up enough, so it is advisable to always have one of replacement.
Ideal operating temperatures (combustion chamber)
These temperatures are approximate, they will vary mainly depending on the assembly, especially if the air outlet tube is lengthened.
- To the Minimum: 110-120º
- To the Maximum: 150-180º
In height at about 2000M +o- The temperature will always be 20/30º higher than those indicated. It is recommended that it does not exceed 210º.
Depending on the heating, screen and pump model, It is possible that the minimum temperature you obtain is somewhat higher than the 110/120 Don't worry, that's not a problem..
How to configure the heating (only with LCD screen and Universal/configurable models)
GOOD, The first step to adjust Chinese stationary heating, is to press the configuration button until a padlock appears on the screen.
- The password to introduce is 1688
- we will confirm with the OK key.
Configuration for 2kw Heating (bomba 16ml) (RENOSTER seller Furgle France Store)
- 1.0hz
- 3.2hz
- 1580rpm (with extended exhaust pipe up to 180cm 1950rpm)
- 4500rpm
- 12v
- SN-1
- Pf-5
For this model, The original 16ml pump can cause starting/smoking problems, it is advisable to replace the pump with one of 22ml as this in order to solve it. (version 12V Oil Pump de 17€)
Configuration for 2kw Heating (bomba 16ml) Updated to 23-01-2023 (only for heating VEVOR / MOPHORN)
Open that enter the following values: (solo in vevor 2kw heaters with 16ml pump)
- 1.3hz
- 3.3hz
- 1600rpm (with extended exhaust pipe up to 180cm 1950rpm)
- 4500rpm
- 12v
- SN-1
- Pf-5
DO NOT USE THIS SETTING in 2kw renoster models with 16ml pump, The correct one is the one that comes standard with 1.0hz / 3.2hz / 1580rpm / 4300rpm / 12v / sn-1 / Pf-5 / off
To be sure it is yours it is: (2KW NEW B o NEW R) the one with blue screen (click to see it)
Configuration for 2kw Heating (bomba 18.5/19ml) Updated to 22-02-2023

- SN-1
- Pf-5
Configuration for 2kw Heating (bomba 22ml) Updated to 22-02-2023
Open that enter the following values:
- 0.8hz
- 2.8hz
- 1600rpm (with extended exhaust pipe up to 180cm 1950rpm)
- 4500rpm
- 12v
- SN-1
- Pf-5
Configuration for 5/8kw Heating (bomba 22ml)
Open that enter the following values:
- 1.3hz
- 4.5hz
- 1700rpm
- 4500rpm
- 12v
- SN-1
- Pf-5
Recently, Some units have started to arrive with a different pump, the 16ml (in 2kw heaters), You find out quickly because the heating will not turn on, humo, or if it does turn on, only the lights will turn on. 2 green stripes and one yellow (about 60º) so you have to use this other configuration so that it reaches 110/120º.
As minimum, It should mark a red line as you can see in the image., otherwise, will work at very low temperature, and will cause problems in the long run.
Know the model you have, It is very simple, you just have to measure it, don't trust the sticker on the side.
At this point our heating will be configured to operate at heights greater than 2000m without any problem..

With continued use of stationary heating, depending on the person, It may be that after hours you notice that the atmosphere is somewhat dry., low humidity, and your throat feels dry and irritated.
You can easily fix it by adjusting some values as you can see in it's brico.

Hola, I am thinking of installing a Chinese portable stationary heater., In that case, do you also have the height problem?? Yes that's how it is, how would it be solved? Gracias
Hello Juan Carlos, if the problem is the same, with the same solution, have here the parameters, you can follow the steps in the video, but the parameters put those that I explain in the guide.
Hello good
You mention that a low temperature is harmful. I have set the configuration of the 16 .. a 1,3 MHz marks me 70 degrees and at 4MHz about 82 degrees
I'm at sea level, not at altitude.
Do you see this as correct or do we have to increase the parameters and not have problems in the long run??, or else
What configuration do you recommend at sea level??
Greetings and thank you
Hello Antonio, those temperatures are very very low, and it seems very strange to me that at 4hz you only have 82º, you should have much more.
Or you have it full of carbon and it is not burning well. (due to poor assembly), or your pump is not even 16, 12 maybe? but I don't remember having seen them so small.
If it is 2kw at minimum around 110/120 – to the maximum 180/190, If it is 5kw about 110/120º and at maximum 150/160.
If you can't reach those temperatures, change the pump for a 22ml one and you'll get out of trouble. https://ycomosehace.es/recambios-y-accesorios/bomba-combustible-diesel-12v/
How to change it so that it works with degrees?
And how does the remote control work?,I give it and it doesn't work?
Greetings and I congratulate you for all the information you have provided.
Hi Joaquin, press the settings button and top arrow at the same time, you will change the operating mode and you will be able to select the temperature, repeat it to reverse it.
To pair the remote press the top arrow + button ok (Confirm) until HFA appears on the screen, once exit press the button on the remote.
A little higher there are some links to YouTube with a video where you can see how it is paired.
Greetings.
What power supply do I need to run a 2kw static heater?? What intensity?
Hello, you need this 15ah source for it to work. https://amzn.to/2q0t8xH

Good afternoon, First of all, thank you for the posts you publish.. I find them very interesting.
I have a question about the Chinese heaters you mentioned., Which of them has documentation to be approved??
I am preparing a vehicle to make it a camper and how I have to approve several things (wrecking ball, DVD , and auxiliary battery) I wanted to take advantage and include the heating..
I wasn't planning on putting it in because of its high price., but that was before knowing this page
Hello Tomas, I cannot assure you with certainty that it can be approved, I have conflicting information, But I can send you a copy of the documentation for my heating so that the engineer who is going to do the approval can tell you if it is possible to approve it or not..
With what I tell you, you can evaluate whether to put this, or a laptop, This is very easy to disassemble before going to the MOT, This way you avoid its homologation.
Greetings
