Safety instructions

Repairs may only be carried out by an expert!

To avoid transportation damage, the device may only be sent to the Trauma 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 230 V, T 6.3 AH (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:

• changes to the device (including accessories),
• failure to use original Trauma parts as replace-ment parts and accessories,
• failure to follow the installation and operat-ing instructions.

Such changes or non-compliance also invalidate the device operating permit, which in many countries also denotes the expiry of the vehicle operating permit. 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 a 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 unfavorable. 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. Condensation traps must always be unobstructed.

Notes on using air conditioning systems
The air conditioning system is designed for a power consumption of up to 4.2 A. You should still check whether the campsite has adequate fuse protection (min. 6 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.m 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 when in the cooling mode so that no condensation build-up occurs at the air distributor.
For faster cooling or heating:

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

Remote control

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

Start-up
Before switching on, be sure to check that the campsite power supply fusing is sufficient (230 V). In order to prevent the power cable of the recreational vehicle from overheating (minimum cross-section 3 x 2.5 mm²) 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 it on for the first time, the remote control must be tuned to the IR receiver.

• Insert batteries (pay attention to polarity)
• Setup symbol flashes (if the symbol does not flash, perform Reset)
• Point remote control at IR receiver
• Press the Setup button and hold down
• When the red LED on the IR receiver starts to flash, release the Setup button.

The remote control is tuned to the IR receiver, the setup sym-bol goes out and the air conditioning system starts in circulated air mode on the lowest fan level, with no timer set.
Switching on
Switch on the air conditioning system using the “On/Off switch” of the remote control. The previous settings are taken over.
The circulated air fan runs after switching on. The com-pressor activates itself after no more than 3 minutes and the blue (cooling) / yellow (heating) LED flashes.
Temperature
If necessary, use the “Temperature selection buttons” to set the required room temperature with “+” and “–”.
Mode
Select the required operating mode by pressing the “MODE” button one or more times.

• Cooling
• Heating
• Automatic (cooling or heating mode, depending on the room temperature selected)
• Circulated air

When the room temperature that was selected using the remote control is reached in cooling mode, the compressor switches off and the blue LED in the IR receiver goes off. The circulated air fan continues to run in order to provide ventilation. If the room temperature setting is exceeded, the device automatically reverts to cooling mode. The air is dehumidified during cooling. If the air humidity in the vehicle is extremely high at the beginning of the cooling procedure, moisture can build up on the underside of the air distributor. The doors and windows should therefore be kept closed and the highest fan level selected. When the room temperature selected using the remote control is reached in heating mode, the compressor switches off and the yellow LED lamp in the IR receiver goes off. The circulated air fan continues to run in order to provide ventilation. If the room temperature falls below the temperature selected, the device automatically reverts to heating mode. Heating at an outside temperature of less than 4°C is not possible because heating performance falls considerably. Between 4°C and 7°C the device switches briefly to defrosting processes. At above 7°C there are no restrictions on heating mode.
In automatic mode, cooling or heating mode and fan level are selected automatically according to the room temperature. In circulated air mode the interior air is recirculated and cleaned by the filter. No LEDs illuminate in the IR receiver.
Fan
Select the required fan level by pressing the “Fan level” button one or more times.
Fan level (not functional in automatic mode):

• low
• medium (not in heating mode)
• high

Sleep function
In “sleep function” (cooling mode only), the internal and external fans operate at slow speed and are therefore extremely quiet.
Switching off
To switch off, press the “On/Off switch” on the remote control. The remote control and the device are switched off. The light can still be switched on and off using the “Ambient lighting” button. If the air conditioning system is switched on again, the blue/yellow LED flashes. The air circulation fan runs, and the compressor activates itself after no more than 3 minutes.
Time
Press the “Time selection button” and set the current time using the “Time setting” buttons. The time is always shown on the display (exception with ON / OFF timer). The time must be reset after changing the batteries or after a daylight saving time change.
Timer ON / OFF
With the integrated timer, the On/Off time of the air conditioning system can be set in advance for a minimum of 15 minutes to a maximum of 24 hours, starting from the current time. The device must be switched on using the remote control in order to program it. Set required operating mode and room temperature. Then select TIMER ON or TIMER OFF using the “TIMER selection buttons”. Set the required On/Off time using the “Time setting” buttons (15 minutes to 24 hours) and confirm with TIMER ON and TIMER OFF. Pressing the relevant timer button again deactivates the timer function.
Ambient lighting
Irrespective of whether the air conditioning system is operat-ing, the lighting in the air distributor can be switched on or off by pressing the “Ambient lighting” button. The lighting is dimmed by pressing and holding down the “Ambient lighting” button. The previous setting is activated when it is switched on again.
Reset
Resets the settings of the remote control to the factory settings when pressed using a ballpoint pen, for example. Setup symbol flashes.
Resend
The previous settings are resent.
Setup
Tune the remote control to the air conditioning system that is going to be operated. Settings set to “Circulated air”, fan level low, no timer set.
IR receiver and manual on / off
There is an additional pushbutton on the IR receiver (m), with which the unit can also be switched on and off without the remote control (e.g. with a ballpoint pen).
If the unit is switched on using this pushbutton, the system is automatically reset to the factory settings (automatic mode 22 °C).
IR receiver / function indicator

• LED 1 blue – illuminated – (cooling mode)
• LED 1 blue – flashing – (cooling mode compressor start-up)
• LED 2 yellow – illuminated – (heating mode)
• LED 2 yellow – flashing – (heating mode compressor start-up)
• LED 3 red – flashing – (data are being transmitted)
• LED 3 red – illuminated – (fault)

Red LED illuminates
The device is indicating a fault. Switch the device off, wait for a short time and switch on again. If the red LED continues to illuminate, please contact the Trauma Service Centre.

Air Distribution

Right / left
There are two individually adjustable air outlets at the front and rear.
Front / rear
The airflow can be metered between the front and rear areas of the vehicle.
Ceiling/floor
The airflow can be directed from the ceiling to the floor.

IR remote control battery change
Only use micro-batteries that will not leak, type LR 3, AM4, AAA, MN 2400 (1.5 V). The battery compartment is on the back of the remote control. When inserting new batteries, make sure the positive/negative terminals are connected correctly. Empty, used batteries can leak and damage the remote control! Remove the batteries if the remote control is not being used for a long period of time.

No warranty given for damage caused by leaking batteries.
Before scrapping the remote control, always remove the batteries and dispose of them properly. The tuning between the remote control and the air conditioning system is retained if the batteries are removed.

Maintenance

Carry out filter changes depending on the amount of use, but at least every 12 months. Never operate the air conditioning system without a filter. This can lead to loss of power. Keep the air inlets/outlets and the condensation traps free of obstructions such as leaves at all times. The air conditioning system should only be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.

Disposal

The device must be disposed of in line with the administrative regulations of the respective country in which it is used. National regulations and laws (in Germany, for example, the End-of-life Vehicle Regulation) must be observed. In other countries, the relevant regulations must be observed.

intended use
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 Trauma.

Selecting a location

Once the roof-mounted air conditioning system has been installed, any nearby exhaust cowl must extend at least 10 cm above 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 110 mm) must be level and smooth.
Three installation options are available:

• The cut-out must be cut out again (350 x 380 mm).
• Cut out of an existing roof hatch (400 x 400 mm) 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 center 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. 25 mm) 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 x 400
For optimum sealing, we recommend the use of the sealing frame that is available as an accessory (part no. 40091-19000). For installation with a sealing frame, please refer to the installation instructions provided with the sealing frame. When installing the device in vehicles with an existing roof hatch, the cut-out must measure 400 x 400 mm. Remove existing roof hatch (make cut-out bigger if necessary). Remove sealant residue and unevenness.m Fill in screw holes with body sealant.

For the other installation steps, please refer to “Preparation for power cable connection”.

Installation with new cut-out
For vehicles without an existing cut-out: the required cut-out is 350 x 380 mm. Place template on installation location on the vehicle, mark cutout (350 x 380 mm), and cut it out. Mark the 4 holes (10 mm) for bracket attachment and drill holes in the roof.

Preparation for power cable connection
Provide lead through for mains cable to a connection point, e.g. in the false ceiling.

Move device to roof in a horizontal position and insert into the cut-out. The arrow should point in the direction of travel.

Do not apply any additional sealing materials between the air conditioning system and the roof. If the device was turned around or moved out of its horizontal installation position, wait 2 hours before switching it on. Push device forwards in cut-out as far as it will go. Remove protective film from the device. Route mains cable to a connection point (lengthen cable with provided Wago clamps if necessary). If the lighting of the air distributor is also going to be optionally operated using 12 V, the 12 V adapter that is available as an accessory must now be connected. The installation instructions are provided with the 12 V adapter.

Securing the device
Screw the two brackets (marked with an arrow in the direction of travel) to the device using the 4 provided M6 x 70 screws (with screw sealant). Torque 1.8 Nm If the roof is more than 50 mm thick, M6 screws (length = roof thickness + 30 mm) with a tensile strength of 8.8 must be used. The screws must be secured with low-strength screw sealant (e.g. Loctite).

If the screws are used more than once (e.g. after removal) they must be coated with low-strength screw sealant again (e.g. Loctite) or the screws provided as spare parts used.
Use of roof thickness adapters
Push base ring (1) and, depending on the thickness of the roof, the roof thickness adapters (2 or 2+3, included) for roof thicknesses of 25 to 50 mm into the air distributor as far as they will go. If the roof is thicker, use additional 10 mm roof thickness adapters (see accessories). Maximum roof thick-ness 110 mm

Securing the air distributor
Connect the cable from the air distributor to the electronics unit.

Screw air distributor (arrow in direction of travel) to bracket with 6 screws M6 x 12 mm. The covering tape that is available as an accessory can be used to compensate for the gap between the air distributor and the roof.

If the screws are used more than once (e.g. after removal) they must be coated with low-strength screw sealant again (e.g. Loctite) or the screws provided as spare parts used.

Inserting the filters
Insert filters into panels and attach to the air distributor.

230 V electrical connection
The 230 V electrical connection must always be made by an expert (in accordance with VDE 0100, part 721 or IEC 60364-7-721, for example, in Germany). The instructions shown here do not constitute a request to non- experts to make the electrical connection, but serve as additional information for an expert who is employed to do the work! Connect the main cable that has been routed to the connecting point. All cables must be secured with clamps! An insulating device for providing all-pole insulation from the mains with contact clearance of at least 3.5 mm must be provided at the vehicle side for carrying out maintenance and repair work. Function test / remote control mounting Attach the mounting for the remote control in the required location.
All device functions must subsequently be tested as described in the operating instructions.
The installer must check that the condensation traps are clear after installing the system. The operating instructions must be handed over to the vehicle owner.

In Australia, always notify Service Australia if problems are encountered; in other countries, the relevant service partners should be contacted (www.truma.com). Having the equipment model and the serial number ready (see type plate) will speed up processing.
