Good news!
1. Removing the gasket ring on the Lavaner triangular connector did not help. We replaced the Lavaner connector with the one from our old cheaper diesel controller. (Thank goodness we had an old one.)
2. Connected to Afterburner, still got the flashing battery and Comms Fault. Checked the firmware version on the AB: 3.2.2; Upgraded firmware to 3.5.2;
3. Connected to AB and got E-15 Crazy Pump. Reconnected Lavaner controller to resync settings, assuming they had been lost in the firmware update.
(Note: E-15 is in the latest User Manual, but not the Error Code-Issue-Solution Guide I found on the Facebook group.)
4. Connected to AB and got E-15 again. The synced settings had come in as .4 hz to 1.0 hz.
5. Chose Alternate Settings for fuel mixture on the AB. (2.0 hz to 4.5 hz)
Started the heater with AB again and the Lavaner heater is running just fine!
Unrelated to AB: We used the exhaust pipe cover that came with the Lavaner heater, but it filled our boat with smoke. I would not recommend using that as a heat shield.
