Installation instructions
The installation and repair of the appliance is only to be
carried out by an expert. Read the installation instructions
carefully prior to starting work and observe the instructions!
Purpose
This device was designed for installation inside mobile homes
and caravans. Any other applications are only possible after
consultation with Truma.
Approval
Declaration of conformity:
The Truma Saphir compact air conditioner meets the basic
requirements of EN 14511, the technical safety and environ-
mentally-relevant requirements of EN 378, the EMV Directive
89/336/EEC, the Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, and the
other jointly applicable EC Directives, and is entitled to bear the
CE marking.
EEC Type Approval:
The Truma Saphir compact complies with vehicle engine inter-
ference suppression directive 72/245/EEC with supplements
2004/104/EC and 2005/83/EC.
Provisions
Any modification to the device, or the use of spare parts and
functionally important accessories which are not original Truma
components, or failure to respect the In stallation and Operat-
ing Instructions, will lead to the cancellation of the guarantee
and to the exclusion of claims for liability. In addition to this,
the operational approval for the device will be cancelled.
Location selection
The device is in principle to be installed in such a way that it is
readily accessible at all times for servicing work, and can be
easily removed and installed.
In installation situations where space is restricted, the
2 connecting cables (power cable and IR receiver cable)
must be long enough for the system to be withdrawn with the
cables attached and the cover opened.

In order to achieve homogeneous vehicle cooling, the air
conditioning unit must be installed in a central location
in a false floor or the like so that the cold air is evenly distributed.
The air conditioning unit is attached to the floor, which must be
level and smooth. The air inlet (LE), the air outlet (LA) and the
muff (11) may need to be fitted with additional gaskets if the
unit is attached to a grooved floor.

The air that is to be cooled is drawn in again by the unit from
the vehicle interior through openings with a total area of at
least 300 cm².
The circulated air will be purified and dried while the unit
is in operation. Accordingly, if the unit is installed in ex-
ternal stowage containers (e.g. double bottoms) suitable steps
must be taken to ensure that the air which is to be cooled is
extracted from the interior of the vehicle. The suction intake
of air from the outside can severely impair the effect of the air
conditioning system.
If possible, position the unit so that the frame of the vehicle is
between the air inlet (LE) and the air outlet (LA).
Place the installation template into the stowage box that is
intended for installation and check the space situation for the
floor openings. The air conditioning unit should have at least
20 mm of clearance at the sides and 30 mm at the rear from
walls and any furniture items in order to prevent noise trans-
mission during operation. The minimum clearance at the front
is 200 mm, so that the fluff/particle filter can be changed.
The openings in the floor of the vehicle must be freely
accessible, and must not be blocked by frame sections
behind them or the like! The openings must not be within the
range of the wheel spray. Spray guards must be fitted if
necessary.
Installing the air conditioning system
Place installation template in stowage compartment and fix in
position.
Mark fastening holes for the 2 retaining brackets (2 – HW) and
the 2 fastening brackets (3) at the sides.

Mark floor opening „LE" for the air supply, „LA" for the outgo-
ing air 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 underfloor protection.
Screw down each of the 2 side fastening brackets (3) with
2 screws and each of the 2 retaining brackets (2 – HW –
leg must be on the outside) with 3 screws.
Insert muff (11) for condensation drain (KO) from above.
Seal muff (11) for condensation drain all round from below
using body sealant.
