Vevor M-button panel (XMZ-D1/D2): codes and menu

Updated

Vevor's XMZ-D1 and XMZ-D2 heaters use this panel. Its codes follow the common numbering, except that E-01 covers any abnormal voltage, high or low, and the manual lists no E-02 or E-07. The panel has a read-only engineering menu where you can look up the last fault, the supply voltage and the shell temperature.

Is this your controller?

LEVELE-08M

Also called: Vevor Bluetooth controller, AirHeater controller, talking controller

A wide black panel with a colour screen on the left and a speaker grille at top right. Four keys sit in a cluster on the right: up, M, power and down. The screen shows large digits, an arc labelled LEVEL and the words AirHeater Controller, and the panel gives voice prompts. It is built into the front of Vevor all-in-one boxes and supplied loose with the split XMZ-D2.

How it shows a fault: The digits flash E-xx. The manual's table lists E-01, E-03, E-04, E-05, E-06, E-08, E-09 and E-10; it has no E-02 or E-07 row. The last fault can also be read at item 002 of the engineering menu.

Reported on: Vevor XMZ-D1 (all-in-one), Vevor XMZ-D2 (split).

Procedures on this controller

Open the engineering (query) menu Manual

With the heater on, hold up and down together for 3 s. Up and down then step through the items: 001 main-board version, 002 fault code, 003 shell temperature, 004 supply voltage, 005 running gear, 006 cabin temperature, 007 altitude, 010 Bluetooth matching. Nothing in this menu changes pump or fan values.

Full guide

Pair the remote Manual

With the unit on, hold the up key for 3 s until rte shows, then press any key on the remote. The screen returns to normal when the remote is matched.

Full guide

Prime the fuel line Manual

Only at first power-up, while the heater is off: hold the down key for 7 s. A 300-second countdown runs the pump. It stops by itself, or when you press power.

Stop as soon as fuel reaches the heater. Over-priming floods the burner and causes heavy smoke at the next start.

Full guide

Switch between gear mode and temperature mode Manual

Press M. Gear mode runs 1 to 10; temperature mode runs 8 to 36 °C.

Find the Bluetooth name Manual

With the unit on, hold power and M for 3 s. Four characters appear, or NULL on versions without Bluetooth. In the airHeaterBle app the heater is listed as BYD- followed by an address ending in those four characters.

Known quirks

  • The manual asks for a supply between 9 V and 18 V and treats anything outside it as E-01.
  • The manual assigns "hold up for 3 s" to both time setting and remote matching and does not say which state selects which.
  • One owner video of the Bluetooth version shows a user menu, opened by holding M while the heater runs, that includes a °C/°F item. The printed manual does not mention it.
