Function:
The Fuel Burning Heater (FBH) Controller allows for the remote start of the FBH using the 3 rd button on the
key-fob remote by operating the headlights.
The car must first be configured to operate the headlights with the 3rd button.
To do this, turn on the ignition. Turn off and remove the key.
Press and hold the 3rd button whilst simultaneously flashing the headlights using the control stalk.
The FBH controller communicates using the WBUS connection. Older Discovery 3’s & RRS had this cable fitted,
but it was removed on newer models. Check you have the RED wire on pin 2 of the 8 wire connecter (See pic
below).
The white wire from the FBH Controller has the connector pin pre crimped ready to install into the connector
if required.
Operation:
The FBH Controller will operate the FBH for either 15 or 30 minutes depending on the internal jumper
position, or to 75 degrees whichever comes first. It will then turn off.
This jumper is also used to clear any fault or lock-out on the FBH.
Jumper link OFF = FBH runs for 30 mins (default setting)
Jumper link ON = FBH runs for 15 mins

Switching On the FBH:
To turn the FBH ON = Flash the headlights for between 1-6 seconds
To turn the FBH OFF = Flash the headlights for between 7-15 seconds
Clearing faults or lock-out on the FBH:

The controller is able to erase stored faults or a lock-out which may prevent the FBH from starting.
You should investigate the cause of the fault and only carry out the clear procedure if safe to do so.
If the FBH still fails to start after clearing faults, the FBH fuse should be removed until the unit can be repaired
or replaced.
To Clear the FBH Faults:
Remove the cover from the FBH controller. Locate the Time Select Jumper. Remove and replace the time
select jumper across both pins 3 times within 5 seconds.
The Awake LED will light, and the Pump Running LED will flash 3 times for 5 seconds. This indicates the reset
has been sent.
When both LEDs go out, the FBH will be clear of faults and ready to use.
W-Bus Communication Error:

The controller will detect the presence of a communication problem on the W-Bus wire by several fast flashes
of the Pump Running LED after a Start, Stop, or Error Clear command is sent.
The connections of the white wire should be checked.
Ignition Prohibit:
The yellow ignition signal wire prevents the FBH from starting should the headlights be flashed when the
vehicle is in use. However, if the FBH is already running when the car started, it will continue to run for
remainder of the pre-set time, or until 75 degrees is reached.
Optional Remote Control:

An additional remote control is available as an option should you wish not to use your keyfob remote.
Button A = Starts the FBH
Button B = Stops the FBH
Installation:
The FBH Controller should be fitted in the space to the front of the engine bay fuse box / battery.
***Carefully observe the wiring connection. Incorrect wiring could damage the FBH Controller, or the
vehicle itself***

+12v may be taken from the main Bus connection as shown below. A ring crimp has been fitted for this
purpose. Connect the Black wire containing the in-line fuse here.
A ground connection stud for the Black wire may be found between the FBH and inner wing as shown below:

The Yellow wire should be connected to a terminal which becomes live when the ignition is on.
Some vehicles have an unused relay base pin to serve this purpose as shown below. Use the supplied spade
crimp to fit the relay base.
It is recommended the blue wire be left to last in order to test the FBH heater is working correctly before
cutting into the headlight loom.
Once the other controller wires are connected and the ignition is off, the blue wire may be touched onto the
Positive (+) battery terminal for approx 2 seconds. The FBH should start and run. Touch the battery terminal
again for approx 8 seconds to stop and observe the FBH cool down cycle for about 2 mins.
The blue wire should be spliced into the nearside headlight connection pin 11 Blue/Pink wire.
This can be done either with the supplied blue Heat shrinking crimp connecter, or a soldered and heat-shrink
connection to prevent water ingress.

Fitting the White Control Wire
1. Remove the 8 pin connector from the FBH by squeezing the two side clips and pulling away from the
FBH.
2. From the connecting face (not the side with the wires emerging), using a stiff thin piece of wire or an
opened out paperclip gently push the rubber blanking plug out of the pin 2 hole.
3. With reference to this photo:
Above the number 3 pin marking is a pink slider, which looks like this: - - ·
4. Using your straightened out paperclip again gently press into the right hand side of the middle 'dash'
(exactly above the number 3) so that the paperclip is at 45 degrees and pushing towards the 'dot'.
5. The pink slider should move a couple of mm until the latch bump that was at the right of the second
dash ends up in the dot. The slider is now in the "unlocked" position.
6. Look for the barb on the terminal you're about to fit. When you fit it, the barb points towards the pink
slider.
7. Fit the crimped pin into hole number 2 from the wire side. You will hear it "click" when it is correctly
fitted. You may need to push the green rubber seal into place.
Using your straightened out paperclip gently press into the 'dot' so that the paperclip is at 45 degrees and
pushing towards the middle 'dash' to return the pink slider to the "locked" position.
Ensure all cables are well away from the FBH hot exhaust, and tied securely.
Disclaimer:
This is a “self-install” device. You should be suitably qualified to carry out the installation or use a professional to do it for you.
By using the unit you understand the FBH may be running unattended. The FBH should be in good operating condition with no
faults. It is recommended the FBH should be initially operated whilst supervised and checked for fuel or exhaust leaks.
