Important Operating Notes; Heating While Driving; Intended Use - Truma S 3004 Mode D'emploi

Only pressure regulating equipment that complies with
EN 12864 (in vehicles) with fixed output pressure of 30 mbar
may be used for the gas system. The flow rate of the pressure
regulating equipment must at least match the maximum con-
sumption of all the equipment that is installed.
We recommend the Truma MonoControl CS gas pressure
regulation system for vehicles and the Truma DuoComfort /
DuoControl CS gas pressure regulation system for dual-cylin-
der gas systems.
At temperatures of around 0 °C and below, the gas pressure
regulation system or the changeover valve should be operated
with the EisEx regulator heater.
Controller connecting hoses that meet national regulations
must always be used in the respective country for which the
equipment is destined. These hoses must be checked regu-
larly for brittleness.
Pressure regulating devices and hoses must be replaced with
new ones no more than 10 years after their date of manufac-
ture (every 8 years if used commercially). This is the responsi-
bility of the operator.

Important operating notes

The combustion air intake beneath the vehicle floor must be
kept clear of dirt and slush.
The roof cowl must be kept free in the air flow during opera-
tion of the heater. Roof structures may interfere with the func-
tion of the heater.
Snow must be cleared from the cowl before the heater is
started up during the winter. For winter camping and long-
term camping we recommend the SKV cowl extension kit
(3 x 15 cm – part no. 30690-00) that can be screwed to the
cowl part.
If the heater keeps going out in extremely windy locations
or during the winter, we recommend the use of an AKV cowl
extension (15 cm – part. no. 30010-20800) and also the T2
(part no. 30700-02) or T3 (part no. 30700-03) cowl top.
If two or three 15 cm extensions are used, they must be
removed before the vehicle is in motion so that they are
not lost (risk of accident). Remaining extensions must be
screwed in place.
If a canopy is fitted to the caravan, it is essential to lead the
roof cowl through this roof. Use the UEK cowl leadthrough
(part no. 30630-04)!
The heat exchanger, the exhaust pipe and all connections
must be checked by an expert at regular intervals, and al-
ways after loud combustion (misfiring).
The exhaust duct must:
– be firmly attached to the heater and the cowl without
leaks,
– consist of one piece (without joints),
– be routed without cross-section narrowing and rising
over its entire length,
– be firmly attached with several clamps together with
the insulating duct.
No objects must be placed onto the exhaust pipe, since this
could lead to damage.
Heaters with wrongly fitted or damaged exhaust
pipes or damaged heat exchangers must not con-
tinue to be used!
10
The warm air outlet on the heater must not be impaired
under any circumstance. Therefore, no textiles or similar
are to be hung in front of or onto the heater for drying. Incor-
rect use can damage your heater and the textiles caused by
overheating. Do not bring any combustible objects in the
vicinity of the heater!
The heater casing becomes hot by design during
operation. Due diligence towards third parties
(particularly small children) lies with the user.
If no safety shut-off device (e.g. as contained within the
Truma MonoControl CS gas pressure regulation system)
has been installed, the gas cylinder must be closed when driv-
ing and information signs must be attached in the gas cylin-
der protection box and in the vicinity of the control panel.
The safety shut-off device is also recommended for safety rea-
sons if caravans are being heated while driving.
Always observe the operating instructions and the
"Important operating instructions" prior to starting!
The vehicle owner is responsible for correct operation of the
appliance.
The stickers enclosed with the device must be affixed by the
installer or vehicle owner in a location in the vehicle that is
clearly visible to all users! Missing stickers are available from
Truma on request.

Heating while driving

For heating while driving, the regulation (EC) No. 661/2009
and the binding UN/ECE regulation R 122 stipulate a safety
shut-off device for motor homes and caravans. The Truma
MonoControl CS gas pressure regulation system satisfies this
requirement.
Installing a safety shut-off device such as the Truma
MonoControl CS gas pressure regulation system with appro-
priately configured gas installation means that a type-tested
liquid gas heater may be used in line with the aforementioned
regulations while driving throughout Europe.

Intended use

This heater was designed for installation in caravans and other
trailers. The S 3004 / S 3004 P heater is also suitable for instal-
lation in motor homes. Installation in boats is not permitted.
S 3004 / S 3004 P
The 3004 / S 3004 P heater is approved for installation in
passenger transport motor vehicles (vehicle class M1 motor
homes) with no more than 8 seats (excluding the driver's seat)
and for installation in trailers (vehicle class O caravans).
The equipment must not be installed in buses (vehicle
classes M2 and M3) or vehicles for transporting hazard-
ous goods.
If the equipment is installed in special vehicles, the applicable
regulations must be followed.
S 5004
The S 5004 heater is approved for installation in trailers (vehi-
cle class O caravans).
The equipment must not be installed in motor homes
(vehicle class M1), buses (vehicle classes M2 and M3)
or vehicles for transporting hazardous goods.
If the equipment is installed in special vehicles, the applicable
regulations must be followed.
