Please note
Introduction 1
Statutory regulations
For installation in vehicles subject to the German Regula-
tions Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road Traffic
(StVZO), the heater has been awarded a “general type
certification (ABG)” with official test symbol marked on the
heater nameplate.
HYDRONIC B 4 W SC S 288
HYDRONIC B 5 W SC S 288
HYDRONIC D 4 W SC S 274
HYDRONIC D 5 W SC S 274
The statutory regulations are compulsory in the scope of
the StVZO and must also be observed in countries where
there are no special regulations.
For installation of the heater in vehicles not subject to the
StVZO (e.g. ships), the specially valid regulations and
installation instructions must be observed.
Regulations for installation and repair
• The year of initial commissioning must be entered
indelibly on the nameplate. For this purpose, 3 year
numbers are printed on the corresponding section of
the nameplate. The respective year number is to be
indicated by removing (peeling off) the two inapplicable
year numbers.
• The heaters are to be installed according to the installa-
tion instructions. Installation is to be checked
a) by type testing of the vehicles as per § 20 StVZO
b) by individual testing as per § 21 StVZO or
c) by a survey as per § 19 StVZO or by an officially
approved surveyor or inspector for motorised
vehicles, a motorised vehicle surveyor or employee
according to section 7.4a of the appendix to StVZO.
In the case of c), this is to be certified stating the vehicle
manufacturer, vehicle type and vehicle ident. number
on the acceptance confirmation contained in the ABG
form. Effectiveness of type certification depends on this.
The acceptance confirmation must always be kept in
the vehicle.
• For installation of the heater in special vehicles
(e.g. vehicles for the transport of dangerous goods),
the regulations applying to such vehicles must be
observed.
• The heater may not be installed in the driver or passen-
ger compartment of buses and coaches with more than
8 seats apart from the driver’s seat.
• The sticker “turn the heater off before refuelling”
included in the scope of supply of the heater must be
affixed to a suitable point of the vehicle (near to the fuel
filler neck).
• The outlet opening must be designed so that a ball
of 16 mm diameter cannot pass through.
• Exhaust pipes must be routed so that any penetration of
exhaust inside the vehicle is not to be expected.
• The functioning of important operational parts of the
vehicle must not be impaired.
• Condensation or penetrated water must not be allowed
to gather in the exhaust pipe. Drain openings are
permitted, consisting of impervious pipes in the interior
which drain the liquid to the outside.
• The opening of the exhaust pipe should be routed
upwards, to the side, or when the exhaust pipe is routed
under the bottom of the vehicle, close to the side or rear
end of the driver’s cab or vehicle.
• The necessary combustion air must be taken in from the
outside.
• The opening of the combustion air intake must be
designed so that a ball of 16 mm diameter cannot pass
through.
• Electrical cables, switchgear and controllers for the
heater must be arranged in the vehicle so that
troublefree operation is not impaired under normal
operating conditions.
All pipes leading out from the heaters must be
splashproof at the leadthrough.
• The corresponding operating condition (at least
switched on or off) must be clearly obvious for the user.
• §§ 45 and 46 StVZO are to be observed for the routing of
fuel pipes and installation of additional fuel tanks.
Excerpt from §§ 45 and 46 StVZO:
– In the case of buses and coaches, fuel tanks may not
be located in the passenger or driver’s compartment.
They must be arranged so that the exits from the bus
are not at any risk in the case of a fire.
– In the case of buses and coaches, fuel pipes may not
be located in the passenger or driver’s compartment.
Regulations for operation
• The heater must be switched off when refuelling.
• Operation of the heater is not allowed in closed rooms,
such as:
– garages
– underground car parks
– multi-storey car parks.
• The acceptance confirmation is enclosed with the
documents for HYDRONIC.

Safety instructions for installation and repair
of HYDRONIC
Danger
Risk of injury, burning and fire!
• Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting any work
on HYDRONIC.
• Always switch HYDRONIC off and let all hot parts cool
down prior to repairs.
Caution
Important instructions for installation and repair
of HYDRONIC
• The heater must only be installed by a JE service
partner authorised by the manufacturer, according to
the specifications made in this document and possibly
any special installation suggestions, or repaired in the
case of repairs or guarantee claims.
• Repairs by unauthorised third parties and / or with non-
original spare parts are dangerous and therefore not
allowed. They make the general type certification (ABG)
of the heater invalid and thus in the case of motorised
vehicles, under certain circumstances also the general
operating permit (ABE) of the vehicle.
• The following are not allowed:
– Modifications to heating-relevant components.
– Use of third-party components not approved by
Eberspächer.
– Failure during installation or operation to comply
with statutory and safety regulations or regulations
relevant to function, as stipulated in the installation
instructions and operation instructions.
This applies in particular to the electrical wiring (circuit
diagrams), fuel supply, combustion air system and
exhaust system.
• Only original accessories and original spares may be
used for installation or repairs.
• Only the controls approved by Eberspächer may be
used to operate HYDRONIC.
The use of other controls can cause malfunctions of the
heater / heating operation.
• Before installing a heater in another vehicle, those parts
of the heater which convey water must be rinsed with
clear water.
• Fuel pipes and exhaust pipes must be fastened
securely (recommended spacing 50 cm) to avoid
damage from vibrations.
• Ensure that the insulation of electric cables etc. cannot
be damaged by chafing, buckling, clamping or heat
development.
Introduction 1
• Failure to comply with the statutory and safety
regulations and / or specifications relevant to functions
makes the ABG of HYDRONIC null and void and
releases J. Eberspächer GmbH & Co. KG from any
guarantee or liability.
Other “safety instructions and important information for the
installation and repair of HYDRONIC” are printed directly
in the corresponding sections of these troubleshooting
and repair instructions.
Safety instructions for operation
Caution
• The heater may not be operated wherever inflammable
fumes or dust can be produced, e.g. near to
– fuel depots
– coal depots
– wood storage yards
– cereal storage facilities.
• HYDRONIC’s after-running feature may not be inter-
rupted prematurely for example by pressing the battery
disconnecting switch, apart from in an emergency
shut-down.
Please note
Emergency shut-down
(EMERGENCY STOP)
If during operation an emergency shut-down
(EMERGENCY STOP) should be necessary,
please proceed as follows:
