Installing The Air Conditioning System - Truma Saphir vario Instructions De Montage

The circulated air is cleaned and dried during the opera-
tion of the device. For this reason, suitable measures
must be taken to ensure that the air to be cooled is drawn out
of the vehicle interior if the equipment is installed in external
stowage spaces (e.g. false floor). Drawing in air from the out-
side can have a detrimental effect on the effectiveness of the
air conditioning system.
If possible, position the device so that the frame of the vehicle
is between the air inlet (LE) and the air outlet (LA).
Insert the installation template into the stowage box in which
the equipment is being installed and check the amount
of space available for floor apertures. The air conditioning
system must have minimum clearance of 25 mm from the
walls at all sides in order to avoid noise transmission during
operation.
The openings in the floor of the vehicle must be freely
accessible, and must not be blocked by frame sections
or the like behind them! The openings must not be within
range of the wheel spray. A splash guard must be fitted if
necessary.

Installing the air conditioning system

Decide whether the air outlet channels are to exit from the
side or the front. Position the air conditioning system air out-
lets accordingly.

The legs of the side retaining brackets (2) should point out-
wards in order to make the system easier to detach from the
false floor if necessary!
Mark floor opening "LE" for the supply air intake, "LA" for the
supply air outlet and "KO" for the condensation drain.
Remove template and cut out the marked floor openings.
Before drilling, always check for underlying/concealed
cables, gas lines, frame sections and the like!
Then seal the edges of the openings in the floor of the vehicle
with underbody protection.
Screw down the 4 retaining brackets (2) using 3 screws per
bracket.
Insert connection (3) for condensation drain (KO) from above.
Place air conditioning system in stowage compartment
( between the 4 retaining brackets).
When installing the device, please ensure that the
connection (3) of the condensation drain is located
in the recess in the floor of the vehicle. Otherwise there
is a risk of water penetrating the interior! In order to
provide perfect air circulation the apertures in the base
of the equipment and the floor must be exactly aligned.
If this is not the case the equipment is not guaranteed
to operate correctly!

Hook the two tension straps onto the 2 side retaining brack-
ets (2) and route the tension straps around the air condition-
ing system as securely as possible and secure with the Velcro
fastener.
The air conditioning system must be attached at all
sides using the brackets provided in order to prevent
unintentional movement if vigorous movements occur (e.g.
hard braking).
Seal connection (3) for condensation drain all round from
below using body sealant.
Attach the two floor grilles (4) for LE and LA to the floor of
the vehicle from below with suitable screws or clips (not
provided).
