Safety instructions
Only competent and trained persons (experts) may install, repair or perform
the function check on the Truma product in accordance with the installation
and operating instructions and the currently accepted technical regulations.
Experts are persons who, based on their specialist instruction and training,
their knowledge and experience with Truma products and the relevant standards,
can carry out the necessary work properly and identify potential hazards.
This appliance may be used by children from 8 years old and by persons with
disabilities or with a lack of experience only if they are supervised or have
been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and understand the resulting
risks.
Children must not be allowed to play with the appliance.
To avoid transportation damage, the device may only be dispatched if the Truma
Service
Centre has been consulted beforehandTruma Service Centre has been consulted
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 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.
In particular, the following will render warranty and guarantee claims void
and lead to exemption from liability claims:
– Modifications to the appliance (including accessories),
– Using replacement and accessory parts other than original Truma parts,
– Failure to follow the installation and oper- ating instructions.
The appliance’s operating permit, and consequently also the vehicle’s
operating permit in some countries, are also rendered void.
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.
To prevent damage to the appliance, it should not be operated continuously at
an incline of more than 8 %.
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 under unfavourable circumstances.
In order to ensure that the equipment works properly and to avoid damage, only
power supply sources with a purely sinusoidal waveform (e.g. voltage
converter, generator) and without voltage peaks must be used.
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 a power consumption of up to 4.2
A. You should still check whether the camp site has adequate fuse protection
(min. 6 A) before starting the equipment up.
Park the vehicle in the shade if posible.
Darkening with blinds reduces the amount of heat radiation.
Clean your roof at regular intervals (a dirty roof heats up more than a clean
roof).
The vehicle must be properly ventilated 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 dehumidified 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 cooling mode so that no condensation
forms on the air distributor.
For faster cooling or heating:
– Set fan level to high,
– Set 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
The air conditioning system may only be operated via the vehicle’s own power
supply (battery, inverter).
Before switching on, be sure to check that the vehicle has adequate power
supply fusing (230 V).
The remote control must always be pointed at the infrared 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.
– Insert batteries (pay attention to polarity)
– Setup symbol flashes (if symbol does not flash, perform Reset)
– Point remote control at IR receiver
– Press 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 symbol goes off and
the air conditioning system starts in circu- lated air mode, at low fan level
and with no timer set.
Switching on
Switch on the air conditioning system using the “On / Off switch” of the
remote control. The last selected settings are taken over.
The circulated air fan runs after switching on. The compressor switches itself
on 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
setting)
– 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 ventil-ation. 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 that was selected using the remote control is
reached in heating mode, the compressor switches off and the yellow LED in the
IR receiver goes off.
The circulated air fan continues to run in order to provide ventilation. If
the temperature drops below the room temperature setting, the device
automatically switches to heating mode.
Heating at an outside temperature of less than 4 °C is not possible because
heating performance falls con-siderably. 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 / heating mode and the fan level are selected
automatically depending on the room temperature.
In circulated air mode, the interior air is recirculated and cleaned by the
filters. No LED’s 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 circulated air fan runs, and the compressor switches on 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
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, using the integrated timer.
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 or TIMER OFF.
Pressing the relevant timer button again deactivates the timer function.
Ambient lighting
Irrespective of whether the air conditioning system is oper- ating, 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.
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 remote control battery change
The tuning between the remote control and the air conditioning system is
retained if the batteries are removed.
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 is given for damage caused by leaking batteries.
Disposal
**** Neither the remote control nor the batteries may be disposed of with
domestic refuse, instead they must be sent for recycling separately via a
collection point. By doing this you are contributing towards reuse and
recycling.
Maintenance
Maintenance, repairs and cleaning must not be done by children.
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 on the roof free of obstructions such as leaves at all times. The air
conditioning system should only be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.
Disposal
The appliance must be disposed of in accordance 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.

Manufacturer’s Warranty
(European Union)
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 (Produkthaftungsgesetz).
Neither does the voluntary Manufacturer’s Warranty affect 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.
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 pro- cedures 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
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 would 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 by 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 ask you not to send in a unit without prior arrangement.
Should problems occur, please contact the Truma
Service Centre or one of our authorised service partners (see
www.truma.com).
In order to avoid delays, please have the unit model and serial number ready
