Having had Raistlin's box of tricks, to enable remote functioning of my FBH (Fuel burning heater.), for some time now. I decided to install it this morning.

Well Mr Raistlin, your a genius - it works perfectly.

Thank you very much.

Cheers

Tim

Thanks Tim

The original idea isn't mine of course. Keith Alexander and others have been doing this mod in an analogue sort of way for years. I do think the digital version is an elegant solution though

Did you fit the latest version with the Summer ventilation option?

When are you doing the Ultimate Remote mod? :lol:

Hi Paul
What is this box of tricks and would i like it Arctic.

Paul,

No just the 'clear ice and window mist' option, which is sufficient for me at this stage.

Do wish my ZT had a FBH, but I only use her for show these days.

Again, Thanks Paul

Cheers

Tim

Hopping on the thread... I fitted mine too and it works very well indeed. Just to make a show of it, the other morning after finishing a nightshift, I took my coat off before getting in the car to the amusement of the lads I work with. For the summer and winter option, I just fitted a switch inline with the signal to the fbh. If I turn it off, the blowers come on, but the heater does not. It should give fresh air in summer.

One little question i've been meaning to ask.
How can I increase the remote box aerial length so I can achieve a response from the remote at a longer distance, is it just a case of adding more wire and locating it in a more prominent position?

Cheers

Tim
