Safety Instructions - Truma MonoControl CS Gastank Mode D'emploi

MonoControl CS gas pressure regulation system with over-
pressure safety device S2SR (OSD) is a two-stage regulator. If
one of the two regulator stages fails, e.g. due to dirt or other
foreign matter on the valve, the other regulator stage reduces
the pressure to a maximum of 150 mbar.
Using the MonoControl CS in closed rooms (e.g. at home), on
boats or in EX Zone 0 (e.g. tankers) is prohibited.
The national regulations must be observed if there is a possi-
bility of it being used in mobile homes. In Germany, its use in
mobile homes is prohibited.

Safety instructions

– The use of gas tanks from which gas is extracted in the gas
phase is mandatory when operating the MonoControl CS
gas pressure regulation system. Gas tanks from which gas
is taken in the liquid phase (e.g. for forklifts) must not be
used, since they would result in damage to the gas system.
– Pressure regulation devices and hoses must be replaced
with new ones no more than 10 years after their date of
manufacture (every 8 years if used commercially). The oper-
ator is responsible for this.
Operating the gas system while driving
– The device manufacturer's instructions must be followed
before operating a liquid gas device while driving.
– In the case of motor homes built from 01/2007, a safety
shut-off device must be provided in accordance with the
heating appliance directives 2001/56/EC, 2004/78/EC and
2006/119/EC or UN ECE R122 for operating a liquid gas
heater while driving. When a pipe is fractured in an acci-
dent, this prevents gas from being able to escape.
In the case of caravans, since 08/2012 and in accordance
with UN ECE R122 Appendix 8 (Amendment 3) it has been
necessary to provide a safety shut-off device for operating a
liquid gas heater while driving.
The Truma MonoControl CS gas tank gas pressure regula-
tion system complies with all of the relevant standards, regu-
lations and directives and therefore allows the gas system to
be used throughout Europe while driving.
– For vehicles manufactured before 01/2007 there are no re-
strictions for operating the gas system while driving **.
** Except for France:
In France, operation of a gas system while driving is only
permitted in type-tested vehicles with first registration as
of 01.01.2007. In older vehicles the operation of the gas
system while driving is also non-permissible in combination
with a safety shut-off device.
