WEBASTO DBW SERIES HEATERS INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Important Information
The heater must be installed according to the “Installation Instructions” and must be examined by an officially
recognized, Webasto authorized installation/ servicing facility.
When the heater is installed in vehicles used for the transportation of dangerous or inflammable goods, or in
boats, the appropriate regulations must be observed.
Webasto Thermosystems, Inc. does not recommend the installation and servicing of Webasto products by
untrained, unauthorized personnel or end-users.
Installations and servicing of Webasto products by untrained, unauthorized personnel and end-users will release
Webasto Thermosystems, Inc. and Webasto authorized distributors, dealers and personnel from responsibility for
damage to Webasto product or collateral property and personal injury.
Any use, operation, installation, modification or application of the product not described in Webasto manuals, or
subjecting the product to extreme or unusual conditions beyond the limits of specified performance characteristics
is misuse of the product.
Failure to comply with all operation, installation, and servicing instructions is a misuse of Webasto product.
The same applies for repairs without using genuine Webasto service parts. This will void the coolant heaters
“Official Marks of Conformity.”
In the vicinity of the coolant heater, a temperature of 185 °F (85 °C) must not be exceeded under any
circumstances (e.g. during body paint work). A violation of this temperature limit may cause permanent damage
to the electronics.
2
INTRODUCTIONWEBASTO DBW SERIES HEATERS
WARNING
Due to the danger of poisoning and suffocation, the heater must not be operated in enclosed areas, such as garages
or workshops, without an exhaust venting system, not even if the start-up is activated by the timer or remote start
device.
At filling stations and fuel depots the heater must be switched off as there is a potential danger of explosions.
Where flammable fumes or dust may build up (e.g. in the vicinity of fuel, coal, wood, cereal grain deposits or similar
situations) the heater must be switched off to prevent explosions.
When checking the coolant level, proceed in accordance with the vehicle manufacturers instructions.
The coolant in the heating circuit of the heater must contain a minimum of 10% of a quality brand glycol based
anti-freeze.
The pressure setting of the coolant filler cap should be between 0.4 and 2 bar (6 p.s.i. and 28 p.s.i.).
The coolant heater may only be operated within the specified operating voltage range designated by type.
The coolant heater may only be operated with the specified fuel (Diesel 1, Diesel 2, Arctic grade, Kerosene and
certain military spec. fuels).
The operational state of the heater, i.e. an indication “On” or “Off”, must be clearly visible to the operator.
If electrical welding is to be done on the vehicle, the main positive and negative feed cables should be
disconnected from the battery and securely connected to the chassis. This is necessary to protect the electronic
control unit from voltage surges.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Heater Start-up Sequence:
Upon switching on, an operating indicator light will illuminate.
The combustion air fan, fuel pump and circulation pump start operation. (If fitted and temperature is < 0 °C (< 32 °F)
nozzle preheating is also activated).
After approximately 15 seconds the fuel solenoid valve opens allowing fuel to flow to the nozzle where it is atomized
and sprayed into the combustion chamber. At the same time, a high voltage ignition spark is generated at the
electrode tips simultaneously igniting the fuel air mixture. A photo control device detects a flame in the combustion
chamber and deactivates the ignition system (combustion process is self-sustaining). At this point the heater is
working and producing heat.
The Webasto heater will cycle on and off until:
1. System coolant reaches operating temperature.
2. The Webasto heater is switched off.
3. Time has elapsed on the timer.
4. The vehicle battery voltage drops below 10.5V for 12 volt systems or 20.0V for 24 volt systems.
5. The Webasto heater runs out of fuel.
6. A fault lock out occurs, indicated by the operating indicator light being off during the cool down cycle (as would
happen during an overheat situation.
NOTE:
If the heater is switched on while the engine is at operating temperatures above 140 °F (60 °C) for orange and white
wire thermostat or 155 °F (68 °C) for red and green wire thermostat, only the operation indicator and the coolant
circulation pump will be activated. Depending on the type of thermostat installed, the engine coolant temperature
must fall below 140 °F (60 °C) or 155 °F (68 °C) at the heater before the heater will begin heating operation.
9
WEBASTO DBW SERIES HEATERS
WEBASTO DBW SERIES HEATERS
Switching Off
When heating is no longer required, switch the Webasto heater off. The fuel solenoid valve interrupts the fuel supply
and combustion stops. The indicator light turns off. The Combustion air fan and the water pump continue operation
for approximately 150 seconds (after-run cycle) purging the combustion chamber of any fumes and cooling the
heater.
Engine Preheating
1. Set the timer 10 min. to 120 min. before you want to start the engine. The heater will start up at the set time.
(See timer operating instructions). Or switch the toggle switch or “Instant On” switch on your timer in the vehicle
dash to “On”. The heater will start up.
2. When the run time has elapsed on your timer or engine preheating is no longer required, switch the Webasto
heater “Off”. The heater will begin the after-run (cool-down) cycle.
NOTE:
Switching the Webasto heater on during the cool-down (after-run cycle) period is allowed. The heater will revert to
normal operational mode.
NOTE:
Make sure all coolant and cab heater valves are open before operating the heater in the preheat mode.

WEBASTO DBW SERIES HEATERS MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the Heater
To ensure functional reliability of the heater the following maintenance must be performed:
check combustion air inlet and exhaust outlet for contamination and clean as required.
outside the heating season the heater should be operated with the vehicle engine cold approximately every four
weeks for 10 minutes setting the heating system to "warm" and opening all appropriate coolant flow control
valves. This avoids difficulties in the startup at the beginning of the heating season and prolongs heater motor
and bearing life.
after replacing the coolant of the vehicle engine ensure proper bleeding of the heater after bleeding the vehicle
cooling system. Start the vehicle engine and turn OEM heater system on in full heat mode. Switch on heater
circulation pump (if separate switch is available) or operate heater for 5 seconds to run circulation pump using
rundown cycle. Repeat procedure as required until warm air comes out of heating ducts. Replenish coolant to
manufacturer's instructions if level is low.
before the heating season (point of time when weather conditions cause increased use of equipment) the fuel
filter or filter cartridge must be replaced to prevent malfunctions.
the heater should be checked on regular intervals by a Webasto service agent, the latest before the beginning of
the heating season.

This section describes troubleshooting procedures for DBW Series coolant heaters. Troubleshooting is normally
limited to the isolation of defective components.
CAUTION
Troubleshooting requires profound knowledge about structure and theory of operation of the heater and components.
Troubleshooting and fault correction should only be performed by Webasto trained, skilled personnel unless
otherwise stated in this manual.
Before troubleshooting, check for and eliminate the following defects:
fuel supply (plugged fuel filter, kinked fuel line)
corrosion on battery terminals
blown fuses
corrosion on electrical wiring, connections and fuses
loose contacts or improper crimping on connectors
shut down initiated by temperature limiter thermostat (automatic reset)
shut down initiated by overheat fuse

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTINGWEBASTO DBW SERIES HEATERS
Malfunctions
The DBW Series of coolant heaters are designed with automatic, self-monitoring systems that will shut the heater off
in the event of a problem.
The heater will switch itself off automatically if combustion does not start after the heater has been switched on, or if
the flame goes out, or if the heater overheats. The operation indicator light will go out to signify a problem.
The following steps can be taken to determine and correct obvious problems.
If the operation indicator light does not come on at the same time as the heater is switched on, check and, if
necessary, replace fuse (F2). If the operation indicator light comes on when the heater is switched on, but goes out
after about 30 seconds, check and, if necessary, replace fuse (F3).
If overheating has occurred, locate and correct the problem. On the DBW 2010 Arctic, DBW 2020 and DBW 300
series heaters, it may be necessary to replace the overheat melt fuse located under the thermostat cover on top of
the heater. The fuse can be identified by the two white wires protruding from its top. The fuse is screwed hand tight
into a dry well plug. Do not over tighten the fuse when replacing. On all other DBW 2010 heaters not equipped with
an overheat fuse, simply correct the cause of overheating and allow the heater to cool down.
If a lock-out condition occurs due to a malfunction, this condition can be cleared and the control unit reset by
switching the heater off and switching it back on again. If the heater goes to lock-out once again after correcting all
obvious problems, consult your nearest Webasto Service Station.
NOTE:
In most heater models, the fuses referred to in the above paragraph can be located on the back wall of the heater
enclosure or are tray. Some models may also utilize a 30 amp. main fuse at the battery connection.
