Safety instructions

Repairs may only be carried out by an expert!

To avoid transportation damage, the device may only be sent to the Truma Service Centre if agreed beforehand.

The power supply must be disconnected from the mains (all poles) before opening the housing.

The device fuses and connection cables must only be replaced by experts.

The 230V , T 5 A H (slow) device fuse can be found on the electronic control unit in the device and must always be replaced with an identical fuse.

Guarantee claims, warranty claims and acceptance of liability will be ruled out in the event of the following:

• modifications to the device (including accessories),
• failure to use original Truma parts as replacement parts and accessories,
• failure to follow the installation and operating instructions.

It also becomes illegal to use the appliance, and in some countries this also makes it illegal to use the vehicle.

The refrigerant circuit contains R 407C refrigerant and must only be opened in the factory.

The air inlets / outlets at the external unit and the air distributor must not be obstructed under any circumstances. This is essential in order to ensure that your device operates correctly.

In order to avoid damage to the compressor, no uphill or downhill slopes with an incline of more than 8% must be driven on when the device is being operated while driving (e.g. with generator or voltage converter).

Do not operate the device in cooling mode for long periods with the vehicle at an angle, since the condensation that is produced may not be able to run away and may penetrate the vehicle if the circumstances are unfavourable.

For problem-free operation and in order to avoid damage, the supply voltage must always come from a source with a sine wave curve (e.g. voltage converter, generator) and without voltage spikes.

When the vehicle is being cleaned it must be ensured that no water gets into the device when spraying with a high-pressure cleaner, for example (do not spray directly into the openings of the device).

Hot cleaners and steam cleaners must not be used.

The condensation traps must be clear at all times during operation.

Notes on using air conditioning systems

The air conditioning system is designed for power input of up to 2.8 A. You should still check whether the camp site has adequate fuse protection (min. 4 A) before starting the equipment up.

Park the vehicle in the shade if possible.

Darkening with blinds reduces the amount of heat insolation.

Clean your roof at regular intervals (dirty roofs heat up more than clean roofs).

Ventilate your vehicle well before starting the equipment in order to remove accumulated warm air from the vehicle.

In order to obtain a healthy room climate, the difference between the inside and outside temperatures should not be too great. The recirculated air is cleaned and dried during operation. A pleasant room climate is produced by drying the moist air, even with small temperature differences.

Keep all doors and windows closed during cooling operation so that no condensation build-up occurs at the air distributor.

For faster cooling:

• Move fan level to high,
• Move front / rear air distribution to centre position,
• Set floor / ceiling air distribution to ceiling.

Operating instructions

Operating instructions can be viewed in offline mode with a mobile device and the Truma App. Download the operating instructions when you have a WiFi connection and save them on your mobile device.

The symbols in the display are visible depending on the settings.

Remote control

Start-up

Before switching on, be sure to check that the camp site power supply fusing is sufficient (230 V).

In order to prevent the power cable of the recreational vehicle from overheating (minimum cross-section 3 × 2.5 mm^2 ) the cable drum must be fully unwound.

The remote control must always be pointed at the infra-red receiver in order to perform the individual switching commands.

Before switching on for the first time, the remote control must be tuned to the IR receiver.

Manufacturer's Warranty (European Union)

1. Scope of Manufacturer's Warranty

As the Manufacturer of the unit, Truma undertakes a warranty towards the Consumer that covers any material and/or manufacturing defects of the unit.

This Warranty is applicable in EU member states as well as in Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey. A Consumer is the natural person who was the first one to purchase the unit from the Manufacturer, OEM or dealer and who neither resold the unit in a commercial or self-employed professional capacity nor did he or she install it for a third party in such a capacity.

The Manufacturer's Warranty covers any of the aforementioned defects that occur within 24 months upon concluding the purchase agreement between the seller and the Consumer. The Manufacturer or an authorised service partner undertakes to remedy such defects through subsequent fulfilment, i.e. at its discretion either by repairing or replacing the defective item. Any defective parts shall become the property of the Manufacturer or the authorised service partner. If the unit is no longer manufactured at the time of defect notification and if replacement delivery has been opted for, then the Manufacturer may deliver a similar product.

If the Manufacturer remedies a defect under its warranty commitment, the term of the Warranty shall not recommence anew with regard to the repaired or replaced parts; rather, the original warranty period shall continue to be applicable to the unit. Only the Manufacturer itself and an authorised service partner shall be entitled to conduct a warranty job. Any costs that occur in the event of a warranty claim shall be settled directly between the authorised service partner and the Manufacturer.

The Warranty does not cover additional costs arising from complicated removal or installation jobs on the unit (e.g. dismantling of furnishings or parts of the vehicle body), and neither does it cover travel expenses incurred by the authorised service partner or the Manufacturer.

No further-reaching claims shall be permitted, especially damage claims presented by the Consumer or third parties. This provision shall not affect the validity of the German Product Liability Act (Produkttaftungsgesetz).

Neither does the voluntary Manufacturer's Warranty affects the Consumer's legally applicable claims for defects towards the seller in the relevant country of purchase. In individual countries there may be warranties that can be issued by the relevant dealer (official distributor, Truma Partner). In such cases the warranty can be implemented directly through the dealer from whom the Consumer bought the unit. The warranty regulations of the country in which the unit was purchased by the Consumer for the first time shall also be applicable.

2. Warranty exclusions

No warranty claim shall be applicable under the following circumstances:

• Improper use, contrary to the specified use
• Improper installation, assembly or commissioning, contrary to operating or installation instructions

• Improper operation, contrary to operating or installation instructions, particularly maintenance, care and warning notes

• Instances where repairs, installations or any other procedures have been conducted by non-authorised partners

• Consumable materials and parts which are subject to natural wear and tear
• Installation of replacement, supplementary or accessory parts that are not original Manufacturer's parts and which have thus caused a defect
• Damage arising from foreign substances (e.g. oils, plasticisers in the gas), chemical or electrochemical influences in the water, or cases when the unit has come into contact with unsuitable substances (e.g. chemical products, unsuitable cleaning agents)
• Damage caused by abnormal environmental or unsuitable operating conditions
• Damage caused by force majeure or natural disasters or any other influences not within Truma's responsibility
• Damage resulting from improper transport

3. Making a warranty claim

The warranty must be claimed with an authorised service partner or at the Truma Service Centre. All the relevant addresses and phone numbers can be found at www.truma.com, in the "Service" section.

To ensure a smooth procedure, we should be grateful if you could have the following details ready before contacting us:

Detailed description of the defect
Serial number of the unit
-Date of purchase

The authorised service partner or the Truma Service Centre will then specify the further procedure. To avoid transport damage, the affected unit must only be shipped upon prior arrangement with the authorised service partner or the Truma Service Centre.

If the warranty claim is recognised by the Manufacturer, then the transport expenses shall be borne by the same. If no warranty claim is applicable, the Consumer will be notified accordingly and any repair and transport expenses shall then be the Consumer's liability. We must ask you not to send in a unit without prior arrangement.

This device has been designed for installation in motor homes and caravans and is intended for use in the private sector. Other applications are only permitted after prior consultation with Truma.

Selecting a location

After the roof air conditioning system has been installed, any exhaust cowl that is in the vicinity must protrude at least 10 cm over the air conditioning system. The exhaust cowl must be extended if necessary (pay attention to the heater manufacturer's specifications).

The roof of the vehicle (roof thicknesses of 25 to 110mm must be level and smooth.

Three installation options are available:

• The cut-out must be a new cut-out (350 x 380 mm)

Cut-out of an existing roof hatch (400× 400mm) without a

sealing frame (accessory).

• Cut-out of an existing roof hatch (400 x 400 mm) with a sealing frame (accessory). The installation instructions are included with the sealing frame.

Attention must always be paid to the following points:

• The device should be installed as close as possible to the centre of the vehicle.

• Check that no obstructions are present that will hinder installation.

• There may be electrical cables running between the interior and the exterior of the roof. Disconnect all voltage sources before starting the work (all poles).

• The roof load must not be exceeded (see vehicle manufacturer's specifications).

• Check interior installation site for obstructions.

• A wooden reinforcing frame (min. 25mm ) must be installed around the roof cut-out between the upper and lower surfaces of the roof. The insulation may have to be removed.

When the skylight with safety ventilation is replaced by the air conditioning system, it must be ensured that the safety ventilation is restored in another suitable location.

Cut-out installation 400 × 400

For optimum sealing we recommend the use of the sealing frame that is available as accessory (part no. 40091-19000).
