Sorry missed people's replies on this thread.
it's an age thing

Dave
I havent got any details on the Eberspacher itself (possibly D2/D4)
and the thing is mounted in such a way that I can't see the lable on the side of it.

I have taken a couple of pics of it and the control panel

Hope these make things a tad clearer

Thanks again

Kev

Kev,

OK, getting somewhere now!

Next. When you say THE manual says 2 degrees (and the title of your thread is "Frost setting") then WHICH manual?????????

Dave
PS Because THIS one doesn't, though it will STILL do what you say the previous owner said!

Hi Dave sorry I seem to be saying things that mislead sorry
The guy we bought it from says it kicks in at 2 degrees and her referred to it as a frost setting.

I have the booklet you show in your pic
but mine is dated MPF Feb 2001

Hi Dave I have read the booklet I have and the booklet you linked to
but i still cannot see a reference to a frost setting or low temperature setting
PS Because THIS one doesn't, though it will STILL do what you say the previous owner said!



please explain why it will come on when it gets frosty

Thanks mate for your time and effort

Kev

Well you can't hold me to what I said when you change what the previous owner said!

OK. You have NO frost setting.

However. depending on your demanded temperature it CAN come on when cold in the night. How low you can set the demanded temperature isn't in the manual, but is easy for you to find out.

Dave

Thanks Dave
Do you mean I would have to set the temperature at it's lowest setting and leave it switched on?

sorry for any confusion but We are still getting to grips with all the equipment on the van

That's the control I have. NO frost setting and NO low temp setting.

You can tell it when to switch on and off and set the "ramp" of the temp control to the desired level but this will be a trial and error affair to find the reqd temp.

The thermostat is purely there to tell the fan when to switch off when the desired temp have been achieved.

What you could do is leave the unit permanently on at a set temp and it WOULD then switch on and off as desired.

For info, Ebers need regular use even in summer. They very quickly go awry if not used!

You would need one bar/segment showing otherwise it is fan only.

I have that model and there's no frost setting on mine. In a very cold spell I have used the program settings to switch it on for a hour a couple of times during the night to provide some residual heat. Otherwise I use an oil filled radiator and a heater tape on the pump.
