Heater in the Planar car: main characteristics and customer reviews
Content
User reviews of Planar air heaters are mostly positive. Motorists note many advantages.
Modern car models are equipped with an integrated heating system, which is convenient when traveling. But during parking, engine-powered stoves show a number of serious drawbacks, including the impossibility of warming up before starting and high fuel consumption.
These shortcomings are solved by installing autonomous heaters, which are very popular among drivers who spend a lot of time behind the wheel and travel long distances.
"Planar" - air heater
Autonomous heater "Planar" brand "Advers" (heaters "Binar" and "Teplostar" are also produced under it) is one of the most popular heaters presented in automotive stores in Moscow. It has a number of advantages:
- Unlimited heating time;
- Possibility of preheating;
- Economical fuel consumption (diesel);
- Effective action even at very low temperatures outside;
- The possibility of heating not only the passenger compartment, but also the cargo compartment.
What is the Planar autonomy for?
The auto-heater is used to heat the interior and cargo compartments of the car in a short time, as well as to maintain a constant temperature, for example, during long parking.
The principle of operation of the air heater "Planar"
The heater runs on diesel regardless of the engine of the machine. The device requires a current connection (the number of volts depends on the variety).
Heater Planar 9d-24
After starting, the Planar heater pump supplies fuel (diesel) to the combustion chamber, in which a fuel-air mixture is formed, which is easily ignited through the glow plug. As a result, energy is generated, which heats dry air through a heat exchanger. If an external sensor is connected, the heater can automatically maintain the desired air temperature. By-products do not enter the cabin, but are discharged outside through the car's exhaust system. In the event of a breakdown, a fault code is displayed on the remote control.
How to connect
The autonomous heater is connected to the fuel system of the car and the power supply of the on-board network. The operation of the device is ensured by a control element that allows you to select the desired temperature and fan mode.
Control options: remote control, smartphone, remote alarm
Planar diesel heaters can be controlled using various remote controls or a remote control modem that allows you to control the stove via a smartphone based on iOS or Android.

Planar heater monitoring and control system
The autonomous heater is controlled by a block located in the heating device itself and connected to other devices.
Блок управления
It is he who controls the activities of the remaining nodes of the system.
Блок управления
The unit works together with the remote control and provides the following functions:
- Checking the stove for operability when turned on;
- Starting and shutting down the device;
- Room air temperature control (if there is an external sensor);
- Automatic air exchange after the cessation of combustion;
- Turn off the instrument in case of malfunction, overheating, overvoltage or attenuation.
Operating modes of heaters "Planar"
The operating mode of the heater is selected before it is turned on. During the operation of the system, it will not be possible to change it. In total, there are three modes of operation for Planar car heaters:
- Heating the car in a short time. The device operates at the installed power until the motorist turns it off on his own.
- heating to the desired temperature. When the temperature in the passenger compartment reaches a pre-selected level, the heater continues to keep warm and operates at the lowest power, but does not turn off completely. The heater will continue to work even if the air heats up more than the declared level, and will increase power if the temperature drops.
- Reaching a certain temperature and subsequent ventilation of the cabin. When the temperature drops, the automatic switching on again occurs, and this will continue until the motorist turns off the device on his own.
Control panels for heaters "Planar"
The control panel is mounted in the interior of the car, or in any place that is freely accessible. The remote control is attached with self-tapping screws or glue and connected to the stove.
Remote Control
The device may come with different options of control panels, the most common of them are listed below.
Control panel PU-10M
The most simple and understandable device with limited capabilities. It can only work in short-term mode or heating to the desired level. There is no mode with subsequent air exchange.
Universal control panel PU-5
Similar to PU-10M, however, it allows using the Planar autonomous heater in the air exchange mode both after heating and to improve air exchange in the car interior.
Control panel PU-22
More advanced model with LED display. On it you can see the values \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbof the set temperature in the car or the power of the device, as well as the code in case of a breakdown.
Indication of errors and malfunctions that occurred during the operation of the system
The remote control can signal the occurrence of an error by the appearance of a code on the display or a certain number of blinks after stopping. Some faults can be corrected by yourself, but most errors require a call to the service technician.
Connecting the Planar heater and the basic requirements for the installation process
It is better to entrust the installation of the heating system to the masters. When connecting yourself, you must comply with the following requirements:
- The fuel line must not be laid in the cab;
- Before refueling, you must turn off the device;
- You can turn on the heater only after installation and only on the battery;
- All connectors must be located in dry places, protected from moisture.
