Espar/Webasto engine heater question

My friend has recently installed a Webasto heater on his Ram. The Webasto heater has a relay which energizes to power the heater blower(to defrost/warm the cab). I was wondering if the Espar heater has the same feature. The instructions were pretty vague with the Webasto, and I was wondering where I should tap this power wire into the system to power the blower. I thought that maybe just running it to the power side of the blower switch would work, but I don't know (without having a schematic) if it would feed back through the system to something else. I thought I'd ask here and see if any of you guys running the Espar heaters have this feature and if so, where Espar wants you to tap into the system..Thanks in advance..
