Safety instructions

Repairs may only be carried out by properly qualified
professionals!
To avoid transportation damage, the unit may only be sent to
the Truma Service Centre Germany or one of our authorised
service partners if agreed beforehand.
The voltage must be disconnected at all poles before the
housing is opened.
The 230 V, T 6.3 A H-type (slow, IEC 127) fuse in the unit can
be found on the electronic control unit and must always be
replaced with an identical fuse.
Appliance fuses and connection leads may only be replaced
by a properly qualified person.
Guarantee claims, warranty claims and acceptance of liability
will be ruled out in the event of the following:
– modifications to the unit (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 even makes it illegal to use the vehicle.
The refrigerant circuit contains R 407C refrigerant and must
only be opened by an expert in the factory.
The air outlet and the circulating air intake must not be ob-
structed under any circumstances. Please bear this in mind in
order to ensure the trouble-free operation of your device.
The apertures beneath the vehicle floor must be kept free of
dirt and snow slush. The apertures must not be located within
the area subject to spray from the wheels or mudguards.
Splash protection must be provided if necessary.
If the floor of the vehicle is provided with underfloor protec-
tion, all the apertures beneath the vehicle must be covered in
order to prevent the spray created from penetrating the device
and causing malfunctions. Once the work has been complet-
ed the covers can be removed again.
In order to avoid damage to the compressor, when the device
is in operation during transit (for example, with the generator
or voltage transformer working), do not attempt uphill or
downhill gradients of more than 8 %.
Do not allow cooling operation to run for extended periods in
a tilted position, since the condensation water which forms
may not be able to run off, and in the worst scenario might
penetrate into the vehicle.
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 en-
sured that no water penetrates the openings in the base of the
unit when spraying with a high-pressure cleaner, for example.
For safety reasons, the unit may only be operated when it is
closed, as only then is there a guarantee of protection against
injury from moving parts. The strap on the electronics housing
must not be removed.

Notes for the use of air conditioners

– The Saphir comfort RC air conditioning unit is designed
for minimal power consumption. Nevertheless, you should
check before taking the system into operation whether the
camping site has adequate fuses (minimum 6 A).
– As far as possible, park your vehicle in the shade.
– Darkening the interior with window blinds and / or a roof
awning will reduce the penetration of radiant heat.
– Clean the roof of the vehicle regularly (dirty roofs heat up
more readily).
– Before operating the device, ventilate your vehicle thor-
oughly, in order to allow the hot air which builds up inside
to escape.
– Take care when putting up awnings or similar that there
are sufficient openings for the supply air to be discharged.
The opening for the hot discharge air should not be on the
intake side.
– To create a healthy environment on the inside of the vehicle,
the difference between the inside and outside temperatures
should not be selected as too great. During operation the
circulated air will be purified and dried. Due to the drying of
the moist, humid air, a pleasant environment will be created
inside even with slight temperature differences.
– Keep the doors and windows closed while the cooling sys-
tem is in operation.
– Full fan power at all three openings can only be achieved
when three cold air pipes are connected.
– The exhaust duct (part No. 40040-32500) may not be used.
– In heating mode, only set fan to "high" use for heating up
quickly. In continuous operation set fan to the "medium" or
"low" position.
