Blue LCD diesel heater controller: priming and pairing
Updated
No manual was found for the blue controller, so this page records only what owners show in videos: how they prime the pump, pair the LCD remote and reach the PIN page. Treat its fault codes with care until you find the table in your own heater's paperwork.
Is this your controller?
Also called: blue controller, new blue controller, blue LCD
Owners call it the blue controller: the screen graphics are mostly blue, with a heater drawing that animates when running. Its buttons are a settings (spanner) button, left and right arrows, OK and power. It usually ships with a small LCD hand-held remote with four buttons instead of a plain key-fob.
How it shows a fault: A fault page is reached by pressing OK repeatedly. No manual for this panel was found, so its code table is not confirmed here.
Reported on: unbranded 5 kW and 8 kW units.

Procedures on this controller
Prime the fuel line Owners
Hold the settings (spanner) button and press the right arrow until H oF is shown. Press the left arrow to switch the pump on (it ticks), the right arrow to stop, then the settings button to return.
Stop when fuel reaches the heater. One owner says priming can only be entered straight after power is connected.
Pair the LCD remote Owners
On the controller, hold the right arrow until HFA appears. On the remote, press power and OK together until it shows its connecting message. The two then link.
Known quirks
- Two different PINs are reported for this panel (1688 and 9009).
