Notes On Using Air Conditioning Systems - Truma Saphir compact Instructions De Montage

The openings beneath the floor of the vehi-
cle 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 under unfavourable circumstances.
In order to ensure that the equipment works
properly and to avoid damage, only power
supply sources with a purely sinusoidal wave-
form (e.g. voltage converter, generator) and
without voltage peaks must be used.
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

– We recommend a dynamo with output of at
least 120 Ah for operation while driving.
– The Saphir compact air conditioning system
is designed for minimal power consumption.
You should still check whether the camp site
has adequate fuse protection (min. 3 A) be-
fore 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 (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.
– 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 out-
side temperatures should not be too great.
The recirculated air is cleaned and dried dur-
ing 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 when in
cooling mode.
