Safety Instructions; Notes On Using Air Conditioning Systems - Truma Saphir vario Instructions De Montage

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 230 V, T 5 A H-type (slow, IEC 127) device fuse can be
found on the electronic control unit and must always be
replaced with an identical fuse.
The device fuses and connection cables must only be
replaced by experts.
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 and R 134a refrigerant
and must only be opened in the factory.
The cold air outlet and and the circulated air intake must not
be obstructed under any circumstances. This is essential in
order to ensure that your device operates correctly.
The openings beneath the floor of the vehicle must be kept
free of dirt and slush. These openings must not be within the
range of the wheel spray – fit splash guard if necessary.
If underbody protection is being applied to the floor of the
vehicle, all openings beneath the vehicle must be covered so
that the spray mist that is created does not penetrate the de-
vice and cause malfunctions. Remove covers again when the
work is complete.
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 floor of the vehicle is being cleaned, it must be
ensured that no water penetrates the openings in the base
of the device when spraying with a high-pressure cleaner, for
example.

Notes on using air conditioning systems

– The Saphir vario air conditioning system is designed for
minimal power consumption. You should still check wheth-
er the camp site has adequate fuse protection (min. 1.7 A)
before starting the equipment up.
– Park the vehicle in the shade if possible.
– Darkening with shutters and/or a canopy reduces the
amount of heat radiation.
– 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.
– When aprons or the like are being fitted, please ensure that
adequate openings are present for dissipating the supply
air. The opening for the warm outgoing air should not be at
the inlet side.
– 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 if the temperature difference is minimal.
– Keep all doors and windows closed during cooling
operation.
If a single room such as a bedroom is being cooled
with 600 W, the two outlets that are not required must
be closed, otherwise the cooling power will be distributed
throughout the entire vehicle.
