1. Introducere
The SMARTGEN HT Series Water Heater is designed for preheating engine coolant, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity, especially in cold environments. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of your HT22M water heater.
Engine coolant and lubricant can condense in temperatures below 4°C (39.2°F), losing their essential properties and potentially damaging the engine during startup. The HT22M water heater prevents this by maintaining the coolant at an optimal temperature, facilitating smooth engine starting and operation.

4. Configurare și instalare
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and effective operation of the HT22M water heater. It is recommended that installation be performed by qualified personnel.
4.1 Măsuri de siguranță
- Ensure the engine is cool and the ignition is off before beginning installation.
- Deconectați bateria vehiculului pentru a preveni descărcarea electrică accidentală.
- Purtați echipament individual de protecție (EIP) adecvat, inclusiv mănuși și ochelari de protecție.
- Handle coolant with care; it can be toxic. Dispose of old coolant responsibly.
4.2 Montarea încălzitorului
- Select a suitable mounting location near the engine, ensuring it is secure, stable, and away from moving parts or excessive heat.
- Ensure the heater is mounted in an upright position as indicated by any "THIS SIDE UP" markings on the unit.
- Use appropriate fasteners to secure the heater to the mounting surface.
4.3 Coolant Line Connection
- Identify the appropriate coolant lines for integration into the engine's cooling system. The heater should be installed in a bypass loop or in line with a section of the cooling system where coolant flow can be established through the heater.
- Cut the coolant hose at the chosen location and insert the heater, ensuring a tight fit with hose clamps.
- Asigurați-vă că toate conexiunile sunt sigure și fără scurgeri.
- Refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant to the manufacturer's recommended level and bleed any air from the system.
4.4 Conexiune electrică
- Connect the heater to a suitable power source as specified on the product label (e.g., AC220V, AC240V).
- Ensure the power supply is fused and properly grounded according to local electrical codes.
- Verificați ca toate conexiunile electrice să fie sigure și izolate pentru a preveni scurtcircuitele.
5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
The HT22M water heater operates automatically based on its internal thermostat.
5.1 Pornirea inițială
- After installation and ensuring the cooling system is full and bled, connect the heater to its power supply.
- The "Power" indicator light should illuminate, indicating the unit is receiving power.
5.2 Operare automată
- The internal thermostat will monitor the coolant temperature. When the temperature drops below the set point (e.g., 40°C, 50°C, or 60°C depending on the model), the heating element will activate.
- When the heating element is active, the "Heating" indicator light will illuminate.
- Once the coolant reaches the desired temperature, the thermostat will cycle the heating element off, and the "Heating" light will extinguish.
- The heater will continue to cycle on and off as needed to maintain the coolant temperature.
5.3 Protecție la supraîncălzire
- The unit is equipped with overheat protection. If the coolant temperature exceeds a safe limit, the "Overheat" indicator light will illuminate, and the heating element will shut off.
- If an overheat condition occurs, disconnect power, allow the unit to cool, and investigate the cause (e.g., low coolant level, air lock).
- After resolving the issue and allowing the unit to cool, press the "Reset" button on the control panel to restore operation.
6. Întreținere
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your HT22M water heater.
- Inspectie periodica: Regularly inspect the heater and all connections for signs of leaks, corrosion, or damage. Ensure electrical wiring is intact and secure.
- Nivelul lichidului de răcire: Always ensure the engine's coolant level is maintained at the manufacturer's recommended level. Low coolant can lead to overheating of the heater.
- Draining Coolant: If the cooling system needs to be drained (e.g., for engine maintenance or long-term storage in extremely cold conditions without power), use the water drain valve located at the bottom of the heater. Ensure a container is placed underneath to collect the coolant.
- curatenie: Keep the exterior of the heater clean and free from dirt, debris, or oil buildup. Use a damp lavetă; nu folosiți substanțe chimice dure sau produse de curățare abrazive.
- Iernare (dacă este cazul): If the engine or vehicle is to be stored in freezing temperatures without the heater being continuously powered, ensure the cooling system, including the heater, is properly drained or filled with appropriate antifreeze solution to prevent freeze damage.
