Safety behavior and p ractices
Ensuring a safe operating environment

  • Danger of suffocation! To ensure dissipation of exhaust gases, operate the Combi D furnace outdoors only.
    • Never use in enclosed spaces or tents or breathe in the exhaust gases.
    • If installing an airtight awning, make sure that the exhaust system terminates outdoors.
    • If the RV is parked in an enclosed space:
    • Deactivate the time switch.
    • Switch off the Combi D furnace at the control panel.

In the event of leaks in the furnace or exhaust gas system:

  • Switch off the device,

  • Open windows and doors,

  • Have the entire system checked by a service technician!

  • Keep the area around the Combi D furnace free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or liquids such as pressurized dispensers or wax candles.

  • Keep the area in front of the warm air outlets (Fig. 1–L) free of combustible or heat-sensi-tive materials. Do not put any material into the warm air outlets.

  • In order to avoid overheating of the Combi D furnace, keep the air inlets of the Combi D furnace (Fig. 2–11), the air openings to
    the area in which the Combi D furnace is installed (Fig. 1–J) and the spacing around the Combi D furnace free of obstruction.

  • To ensure clean combustion, keep the wall cowl free of obstruction. Do not lean any ob-jects against the wall cowl (Fig. 1–H).

CARBON-MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!

Failure to follow instructions could result
in severe personal injury or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning, if combustion products enter the RV.
Check that all openings in the outside wall around the vent (and air intake) pipe(s) are sealed to prevent combustion products en-tering the RV.
Check that furnace vent (and air intake) terminal(s) are not obstructed in any way during all seasons.
Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confu-sion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and death. See a doctor if you or a member of your family develops cold or flu-like symp-toms while camping. Carbon monoxide poi-soning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.

Danger of hot surfaces. The temperature of the exhaust gases can reach 356 °F (180 °C). Do not touch the area around the wall cowl and do not lean any objects against the wallcowl or the RV.

Responsibilities of the operator

  • The operator is responsible for the water filled into the Combi D water container and its quality.
  • The operator is responsible for protecting the Combi D furnace against freezing.
  • The exhaust gas system must be inspected by an expert at regular intervals or at least every 2 years.
  • Fuel at low temperatures:
    Refineries or filling stations automatically adapt the fuel to the usual winter tempera-tures (winter diesel). At temperatures below 32° F (0 °C) , difficulties can occur if the ve-hicle is still filled with summer diesel.
    To ensure that all heater fuel lines are filled with winter diesel or other permissible mix-tures after filling, the heater must be oper-ated for at least 15 minutes.

Safe operation

  • Use with Ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel (max. 15 ppm sulfur) according to ASTM D975 and SOR/2005-305 only. Even small amounts of other volatile fuels or solvents mixed with diesel can increase the risk of fire or explo-sion.
    Operation with biodiesel is not permissible.

  • During the initial start-up of a brand new appliance, small quantities of fumes and
    a slight odor may occur briefly. When the appliance is started up after a particularly long period of non-use, there may be some smoke and/or smell due to dust or dirt. It is a good idea to allow the appliance to run at maximum output for a few minutes and to ensure that the area is well ventilated.

    • For using the Combi D furnace in hot water mode (140 °F (60 °C)), let it heat up several times.
  • Hot air can be dangerous, especially for infants, children, the elderly, or infirm. It can cause burns:

    • Always check the air temperature before varying the air throttle position (Fig. 1-L).
  • Hot water can be dangerous, especially for infants, children, the elderly, or infirm. It can cause severe burns:

    • Never actuate the pressure relief/drain valve (Fig. 1-F) as long as the Combi D fur-nace is under water pressure and/or still hot.
    • Always check the water temperature be-fore entering a shower or bath.
  • How long before hot water causes skin damage?

  • Children up to 17 years of age as well as people with physical, sensory, or mental disabilities and/or people who are inexperienced or unknowledgeable may use the Combi D furnace only if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use. They must also understand the risks associated with using it. Children must not play with the Combi D furnace.

  • During heater operation, do not allow the tank level to fall as low as the reserve mark on the tank indicator.
    If the vehicle tank is empty, the opening for the fuel withdrawal line will be approximately at the level of the fuel surface. In this state, especially if fuel sloshes in the tank during travel, large quantities of air are drawn in. This leads to an irregular device fuel supply. In this state, the device burner cannot maintain clean combustion (formation of fumes).

  • The furnace must not be used during refuel-ling or in enclosed car parks, in garages or on ferries.

  • To avoid damage, make sure no spray water enters the Combi D furnace. When cleaning the RV, do not spray directly into the wall cowl.

  • The appliance is not to be used with air filters.

  • Do not operate this product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working prop-erly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.”

Safe handling of malfunctions

  • Switch OFF the Combi D furnace if anything seems to be out of the ordinary.
  • WARNING: Danger of fire or explosion when attempting to use a flood-damaged Combi D furnace or if the RV has been involved in an accident! A qualified service technician must inspect the furnace. In the case of moisture damage, the qualified service technician must replace damaged fuel intake parts, control system parts and/or electrical parts, or provide a new furnace.
  • Only a qualified service technician may perform repairs.
  • Have a qualified service technician immediately remedy any malfunctions.
    • Remedy a malfunction yourself only if a remedy is specified in the troubleshooting chart in these operating instructions (refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 19).
  • After any misfire, a qualified service technician must inspect the Combi D furnace and the exhaust tube.

Safe maintenance and repair

  • Only a qualified service technician may clean and maintain the furnace.
  • Any alteration to the Combi D furnace or its controls can cause unforeseen serious hazards and will void the warranty.
  • After a long period of winterizing: Flush all hot/cold water hoses and the Combi D furnace thoroughly with drinking water before using it.

Operating Instructions

Read and follow the “Consumer Safety In-formation” before operating the Combi D furnace.

WARNING

Scalding injuries caused by hot water!
Water temperatures over 127 ºF (52 ºC) can cause severe burns or scalding and in extreme cases even death.

Water in the hot water container can become as hot as 162 °F (72 °C) during operation. If there is a malfunction, the water can reach 205 °F (96 °C).

  • Always use potable water to fill the hot water container. The person operating the furnace is responsible for the quality of this water.
  • Before using a hot water faucet or using the shower, allow the hot water to run until the water temperature no longer increases and mix with cold water.
  • Test the temperature of the water before placing a child in the bath or shower.
  • Do not leave a child or an infirm person in the bath unsupervised.

How the Combi D furnace works

  • The Combi D furnace was developed exclusively for use in recreational vehicles (RVs).
  • The Combi D is a furnace with a supplementary, indirect hot water generator.
  • The Combi D is powered by Diesel and a 12 V power supply. The electrical heating elements are powered by a supply voltage of 120 VAC.
  • Room air is drawn into the furnace by a fan, heated up and conveyed via flexible ducts to the RV’s interior.
  • The Combi D furnace with supplementary water heating is installed between the RV’s fresh water supply line and its hot water system.
  • A comfortable water temperature at the shower head is reached by mixing in cold water.

A wall cowl allows combustion air to flow into the furnace and exhaust gas to flow out. The wall cowl and the furnace are connected by a duct in the duct exhaust venting system: an ex-haust duct inside, an exhaust venting duct out- side and a separate combustion air intake duct.

NOTICE
Damage to the Combi D furnace caused by freezing! The Combi D furnace does not have a frost-protection function. If the heat-ing is not used and there is a risk of freezing, all water must be drained from the water container ( “Winterizing” on page 14).

Selectable modes of operation
The CP plus control panel (Fig. 1 – C) is used to switch between modes of operation (refer to the CP plus manual for additional instructions).

  1. Heating mode
    The furnace automatically selects the proper operating level based on the difference between the desired temperature set at the control panel and the current room temperature. If there is any water in the water container, it will be heat-ed automatically. The water temperature will not be regulated, but it will reach a maximum of 162 °F (72 °C).

  2. Hot water mode
    (only if water container contains water)
    Hot water mode is ideal if only hot water is re-quired. The lowest burner setting suffices for heating water. In hot water mode, the burner will switch off as soon as the water reaches the temperature selected in the CP plus control panel.

Both modes of operation can be combined.
Selectable modes of power input
The CP plus control panel is used to select vari-ous modes of energy for the Combi D.

The Combi D furnace never operates in any mode without a 12 VDC power supply.

  1. Diesel for Diesel mode
    The Combi D furnace runs on Diesel.

  2. Electricity for electric mode
    The Combi D furnace can be powered by elec-tricity if the RV is connected to a mains power supply or a generator.
    NOTICE
    Only a 120 V sine-wave-generator may be used to avoid damage to the Combi D.

  3. Diesel and electricity (mixed mode) The Combi D furnace runs simultaneously on Diesel and electricity.

If the selected operating mode is:

  1. Heating mode:
    The Combi D runs simultaneously with Diesel and electricity.

  2. Hot water mode:
    The Combi D runs in electric mode with a preselected power output setting of 850 W (Mix 1) or 1700 W (Mix 2).

When the RV is disconnected from the power supply*, the furnace will automatically switch to Diesel.

With sufficient supply of 12 V DC and Diesel.

Room temperature sensor
A room temperature sensor (Fig. 1 – B) measures the temperature inside the RV.
The installation location for the room temperature sensor depends on the RV and will be chosen by the RV manufacturer.

Truma pressure relief/drain valve

WARNING
Risk of scalding injury from hot water and/or tampering with the pressure relief/drain valve!

  • Never actuate the pressure relief/drain valve as long as the Combi D furnace is still hot.

  • Do not place a plug or reducing coupling on the outlet part of the valve. If you use a discharge line, allow the valve and the line to drain completely.

    • The Truma pressure relief/drain valve pro-vides both the pressure relief function and a drain function.

    • The pressure relief/drain valve is a safety component and must not be removed for any reason other than replacement.

    • The pressure relief/drain valve is not ser-viceable; if defective, it must be replaced. It must be replaced by a certified service technician.

    • It must only be replaced by the Truma
      pressure relief/drain valve rated for 65.25 psi (4.5 bar) which is CSA certified and registered.

    • Tampering with the pressure relief/drain valve will void the warranty.

The Combi D furnace with supplementary in-direct water heating must be installed with the Truma pressure relief/drain valve (Fig. 5) that complies with the standard for Relief Valves for Hot Water Systems, ANSI Z21.22.

  1. Truma pressure relief/drain valve
  2. Lever
  3. Drainage socket (extends through RV’s undercarriage to outside)

Opening the Truma pressure relief/ drain valve

NOTICE: Danger of damage to the Combi D and the RV due to an obstructed drainage sock-et! The drainage socket (Fig. 4-3) must be un-obstructed and kept clear of obstructions such as slush, ice, or leaves to ensure that water can drain properly. No warranty claims for frost damage will be accepted.

  • Move the lever so that it is in the “draining” position (Fig. 5-2). Water will drain from the hot water container via the drainage socket (Fig. 4-3).

Closing the Truma pressure relief/drain valve

  • Move the lever so that it is in the “closed” position (Fig. 5-1) or (Fig. 5-3).

Starting the Combi D furnace

WARNING

Danger of over-temperature and toxic exhaust gases!

  • Use with Diesel only.
  • Keep the air inlet and exhaust gas outlet free of obstructions. Do not lean any objects against the wall cowl on the RV or place any objects within a range of 2 feet (61 cm) of the wall cowl.

Danger of combustion and damage to persons and the RV!

  • Keep the area around the Combi D furnace free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or liquids such as pressurized dispensers or wax candles.
  • Switch the Combi D furnace off:
    • if anything seems to be out of the ordinary.
    • if you smell fuel.
    • if you move the RV.
    • before entering a gas station.

    • before entering a ferry boat.

Inspections before each use
Check the Combi D furnace for the following points before each use. In case of damage, con-tact an authorized Truma service provider and do not operate the Combi D furnace.

  • Inspect the furnace (Fig. 1–G), exhaust vent-ing system, and wall cowl (Fig. 1–F) for dam-age. Verify that connections are tight and fasteners are secure.

  • The wall cowl (Fig. 1–H) for drawing in combustion air and emitting exhaust must be free from obstructions such as slush, ice or leaves. The furnace will not function properly if the combustion-air inlet or exhaust tube is partially or completely obstructed.

  • The warm air outlets (Fig. 1 – A), the wall outlet vents (Fig. 1 – L) and the openings for the circulated air intake (Fig. 1 – J) and
    (Fig. 2 – 11) must be free from obstructions to ensure that the furnace functions properly. Any obstructions might cause the furnace to overheat. If this happens, the built-in tem-perature limiter will interrupt the flow of fuel (Diesel) to the furnace. Once the furnace has cooled, it will switch on again automatically.

  • Access to adequate quantities of diesel fuel and 12 V power must be available.

  • Make sure that the supply voltage’s fuse protection of the campground suffices for operating the furnace in electric mode. The furnace needs up to 1,700 W (14.2 A) in op-erating mode 2. If the supply voltage’s fuse protection is not sufficient, the furnace can be operated in operating mode 1 with up to 850 W (7.1 A).

NOTICE: Danger of damage to the power cord due to overheating! If you use an exten-sion cord on a cable drum to connect the RV to the campground power system, make sure the cord is fully extended.

Filling the water container

NOTICE: Damage to the water container! The water pressure on the inlet side must be limited to 40.6 psi (2.8 bar), otherwise internal components of the appliance will be dam aged. On (city) water connections with a pressure higher than 40.6 psi (2.8 bar) a pressure regulator is strongly recommended.

  1. Close the pressure relief/drain valve, if open (refer to “Closing the Truma pressure relief/drain valve” on page 11).
  2. Close open bypass lines, if present.
  3. Turn on the fresh water supply or switch on the water pump.
  4. Fill the plumbing system:
  5. Open all water-release points, e.g. cold and hot water faucets, showers, toilets.
  6. Once water flows, the plumbing system is ventilated and filled. Close all water-release points.

Switching on the furnace

For the furnace to work properly, there must be enough Diesel fuel and 12 VDC power. Optionally, for electric or mixed mode with the Combi D, an additional 120 VAC power supply is needed.

  1. Switch on the furnace’s 12 VDC power supply.

  2. If necessary, fill the water container with water (refer to “Filling the water container” on page 12). If no hot water is needed, the Combi D furnace can be operated without being filled.

  3. Make sure the supply of Diesel is sufficent.
    Operation without Diesel supply is possible for the Combi D. The maximum heating power is then 1,700 W.

  4. Use the CP plus control panel to switch on the Combi D furnace (refer to the CP plus manual for additional instructions).
    WARNING
    Scalding injuries caused by hot water!
    Water temperatures over 127 ºF (52 ºC) can cause severe burns or scalding and in extreme cases even death.

    • Before using a hot water faucet or using the shower, mix with cold water and allow the hot water to run until the water tem-perature no longer increases.
    • Test the temperature of the water before placing a child in the bath or shower.
    • Do not leave a child or an infirm person in the bath unsupervised.

Decalcifying and cleaning the water container

Truma recommends decalcifying and cleaning the water container at least twice a year for hygienic reasons. Only use specialized and suitable products. Do not use chlorine-based products. Read and follow the instructions of the decalcifying agent’s manufacturer.

  1. For decalcifying the water container, fill the water container with citric acid and let it work for some time.
  2. Fill citric acid into the freshwater supply and dilute it with fresh water according to the supplier’s specifications.
  3. Add more than 2.64 gallons (10 liters) of water to fill up the water container of the Combi D furnace.
  4. Drain the mixture of citric acid and water from the water container (refer to “Drain-ing the water container” on page 13) and flush it with fresh water (refer to “Filling the water container” on page 13).

In order to avoid growth of micro-organ-isms, regularly heat the water in the boiler to 158 °F (70 °C) as follows:

  • Select energy mode “diesel” on CP plus control panel.
  • Select the hot water level “boost” on CP plus control panel.
  • When the water temperature is reached (the display does not flash anymore), leave the heating switched on for another 30 minutes without withdrawing water from the system. The residual heat in the device will heat the water to up to 158 °F (70 °C).

Truma pressure relief/drain valve

WARNING
Risk of scalding injury from hot water and/or tampering with the pressure relief/drain valve!

  • Never actuate the lever as long as the Combi D furnace is under water pressure and/or still hot.

  • Do not place a plug or reducing coupling on the outlet part of the valve. If you use a discharge line, allow the valve and the line to drain completely.

    • The Truma pressure relief/drain valve provides both the pressure relief function and a drain function.

    • The pressure relief/drain valve is a safety component and must not be removed for any reason other than replacement.

    • The pressure relief/drain valve is not serviceable; if defective, it must be replaced. It must be replaced by a certified service technician.

    • It must only be replaced by the Truma pres-sure relief/drain valve rated for 65.25 psi
      (4.5 bar) which is CSA certified and registered.

    • Tampering with the pressure relief/drain valve will void the warranty.

  • Operate the valve manually at least once per year to ensure that water channels are clear.

  • Before lifting the lever, make sure that the discharge line is securely attached and prop-erly installed, to prevent injury and property damage.

  • If no water flows when the lever is operated, check the water supply.

    • The water pump must be turned on or the RV must be connected to city water.
  • The pressure relief/drain valve should be in-spected every three years by a qualified ser-vice technician and be replaced if necessary.

Replacing the 12-volt fuses
Only a qualified service technician may perform this task.

The fuses are on the printed circuit board underneath the connector cover.

  • While detaching or reattaching the connector cover ( Fig. 8), take care to neither dislodge nor pinch the connector cables.
  • A defective fuse must be replaced with the same make and model of fuse.

Troubleshooting

Faults occurring during operation of the Combi D furnace are displayed as an error code on the CP plus control panel (refer to the Troubleshooting section in the CP plus manual for additional instructions). The potential cause as well as a solution is described according to the error code in the CP plus manual.

The potential causes for problems with the water system and the Combi D furnace are described below:

Problem Potential cause Solution
Water heats up too slowly. Lime scale (hard water calcifi- cation) in the
water container. Decalcify the water container

(refer to “Decalcifying and cleaning the water container” on page 17).

Water drains. / The hot water container cannot be refilled.| The pressure relief/drain valve is open.| Close the pressure relief/drain valve.
The water container can- not be emptied even though the pressure re- lief/drain valve is open.| The drainage socket of the pressure relief/drain valve is obstructed.| Remove any obstructions such as slush, ice, or leaves from the opening of the drainage socket.

Make sure that the faucets are opened in the position “hot”.

Water is dripping / flow- ing from the drainage socket of the pressure relief/drain valve.| Water pressure in the water system is too high.| Check the pump pressure and adjust if necessary. Replace the water pump if an adjustment is not possible.
Ensure that a pressure reducer is in- stalled on your city water connection, not exceeding 40.6 psi (2.8 bar).
The pressure inside the water container rises above a water pressure of approx. 65,25 psi (4.5 bar) – Truma pressure re- lief/drain valve installed.| The Truma pressure relief/drain valve protects the water container against a pressure greater than 65.25 psi (4.5 bar). This is not a fault. If the condition continues, contact Truma service.
Water pressure in the water system is too high.| Replace the water pressure reducer at the fresh water supply. This must be performed only by a qualified service technician.
Lime or dirt under the pres- sure relief/drain valve seat.| Rinse the pressure relief/drain valve to remove contamination from the valve seat ( “Winterizing” on page 14).

Replace the pressure relief/drain valve. This must be performed only by a qualified service technician.

Large amounts of smoke on the cowl for more than 1 minute after the equipment is started.| Fuel supply malfunction. Improper installation.

Limited combustion air infeed.

| Fire hazard!

Do not use the equipment any longer. Contact customer service.
