Diesel heaters are a convenient and efficient way to stay warm in your vehicle or other enclosed spaces. However, if your heater doesn’t come with a remote control, it can be frustrating to have to manually adjust the settings every time you want to change the temperature. Fortunately, it’s relatively easy to connect a Chinese diesel heater remote to your heater. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of how to connect a Chinese diesel heater remote.

Materials You’ll Need

Before you begin, gather the following materials:

  • Chinese diesel heater
  • Remote control
  • Wire strippers
  • Electrical tape
  • Screwdriver (optional)

Step 1: Identify the Remote Control Wire

Locate the wire harness on the back of the diesel heater. There should be a two-wire connector labeledRemote Control.” These wires are typically red and black.

Step 2: Strip the Wires

Using wire strippers, remove about 1/4 inch of insulation from the ends of the red and black wires.

Step 3: Connect the Wires to the Remote Control

On the remote control, there should be two terminals labeled “R” (red) and “B” (black). Connect the red wire from the diesel heater to the “R” terminal on the remote control. Connect the black wire from the diesel heater to the “B” terminal on the remote control.

Step 4: Secure the Connections

Wrap electrical tape around the connections to secure them. Make sure the tape is tight and does not leave any exposed wires.

Step 5: Test the Remote Control

Turn on the diesel heater and press the buttons on the remote control. The heater should respond to the commands from the remote. If it doesn’t, check the connections and make sure they are secure.

Troubleshooting

If you’re having trouble connecting the remote control to the diesel heater, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

  • Check the connections to make sure they are secure.
  • Make sure the remote control is powered on.
  • Check the batteries in the remote control.
  • Try resetting the diesel heater by turning it off and on again.
  • If you’re still having trouble, contact the manufacturer of the diesel heater for assistance.

Additional Features of Chinese Diesel Heater Remotes

Some Chinese diesel heater remotes come with additional features, such as:

  • Temperature control: Allows you to adjust the temperature of the heater from the remote control.
  • Timer: Allows you to set a timer to turn the heater on or off at a specific time.
  • LCD display: Provides information about the heater’s current settings and status.

Understanding the Different Remote Control Types

There are two main types of remote controls for Chinese diesel heaters:

  • RF remote control: Uses radio frequency to communicate with the heater. This type of remote control has a longer range and can be used through walls and other obstacles.
  • IR remote control: Uses infrared light to communicate with the heater. This type of remote control has a shorter range and requires a direct line of sight to the heater.

FAQs

  • Can I use any remote control with my Chinese diesel heater?

No, you need to use a remote control that is specifically designed for your model of heater.

  • How do I know if my remote control is working?

Press the buttons on the remote control and see if the heater responds. If it doesn’t, check the connections and make sure the remote control is powered on.

  • What should I do if my remote control is not working?

Try troubleshooting the problem using the tips provided in the “Troubleshooting” section. If you’re still having trouble, contact the manufacturer of the diesel heater for assistance.

  • Can I use a remote control to turn on the heater remotely?

Yes, some remote controls come with a feature that allows you to turn on the heater from a distance. This feature is typically called “remote start.”

Final Note

Connecting a Chinese diesel heater remote is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few minutes. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can easily connect your remote control and enjoy the convenience of adjusting your heater’s settings from anywhere.
