5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off

Press the power button on the LCD switch or the remote control to turn the heater on or off. The heater will initiate a startup sequence upon powering on and a cool-down sequence upon powering off.

The LCD control panel is shown with its 24-hour timer function activated, allowing users to schedule heating times for convenience and energy conservation.

5.2 Selecting Heating Modes

The heater offers two primary heating modes: Power Mode and Temperature Mode. Short press the Mode/Power button on the LCD switch when the heater is in standby status to switch between modes.

Power Mode

In Power Mode, the heater operates continuously at a set power level. The screen will display 'P' followed by the power setting (e.g., P 5.0 for 5KW). Adjust the power output using the control knob on the LCD switch or the +/- buttons on the remote control.

The LCD display illustrates the 'Power Mode' setting, where the heater operates continuously at a user-defined power level, from 1.4kW to 5kW.

Temperature Mode

In Temperature Mode, the heater maintains a desired ambient temperature. The screen will display 't' followed by the set temperature (e.g., t 24.0 for 24°C). The heater will stop heating when the detected temperature reaches 2°C higher than the set temperature and will restart when the temperature drops below the set temperature. An external temperature sensor provides accurate readings.

This image shows the 'Temperature Mode' on the LCD screen, indicating a set temperature of 24°C. The external temperature sensor helps maintain the desired ambient temperature by cycling the heater on and off.

5.3 Plateau Mode

The LF Bros N3 features an intelligent Plateau Mode, which automatically adjusts the air-fuel ratio by detecting atmospheric pressure. This ensures stable and efficient operation even at high altitudes (tested up to 17,000+ ft).

The heater is depicted in an outdoor, high-altitude setting, demonstrating its 'Plateau Mode' capability. This mode ensures stable operation by adjusting the air-fuel ratio based on atmospheric pressure, tested at altitudes over 17,000 feet.

5.4 Timer Function

Utilize the 24-hour timer function on the LCD switch to schedule heating periods. This allows for pre-heating your space or conserving energy by setting specific operating times.

This image demonstrates the convenience of the remote control, allowing users to pre-heat their vehicle or space before entry, ensuring a warm environment.
