EMF-Free Afterburner? - VolvoFan - 11-05-2024
Hello,
Please excuse my ignorance in the matter; not knowing much about the Afterburner, I am asking these questions to the Administrator or experienced users, because I strive to live in an EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) free Environment. I intend to install the Diesel heater with the Afterburner controller in an AVION aluminum Trailer. Because of its metallic type construction of the trailer, any EMFs produced inside the trailer, would bounce around like crazy being reflected by the walls.
Here we go:
1. What is the WiFi used for by the Afterburner?
2. What is the BT used for by the Afterburner?
3. What is the 433MHz transmitter used for by the Afterburner?
4. Is there a way to use the Afterburner, without WiFi, BT, 433MHz, with a wired remote, maybe?
5. Is there a way in the menus, to shut off individually, or all at once, the WiFi, BT 433 MHz radio transmitters in the Afterburner, once the settings have been adjusted to the desired effect?
6. If not, are there plans to make this possible in future versions of the firmware? You would be opening up the use of the Afterburner to a whole new category of users, who suffer from EMF Sensitivity, which in Europe is officially recognized as a Disability.
Thank you for any and all constructive responses!
Val, the VolvoFan

There is no 433 MHz transmitter, and only a 433MHz receiver if added.
The 2.4GHz aspects (WiFi & BT) can be disabled, leaving control solely limited to the unit itself.

Thank you for answering Ray,
So I can disable the WiFi and BT from the software menu when I don't need them, or do I have to physically remove a module to shut WiFi and BT off?
I looked in the manual and I can't find where in the menu can I turn WiFi and BT off. Could you please point me to the page of the manual where this is described?
Thank you so much!
