Safety Instructions - Truma DuoControl CS Mode D'emploi Et Instructions De Montage

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.
An automatic PRV* safety device integrated in the
DuoControl CS with limited flow protects the connected con‑
sumers against impermissibly high pressure. As soon as an
impermissibly high pressure arises on the output side, the
PRV opens and blows out the overpressure into the air. The
PRV closes automatically after the pressure is reduced
* = Pressure Relief Valve

Safety instructions

– The use of upright gas cylinders from which gas is ex-
tracted in the gas phase is mandatory when operating
the DuoControl CS gas pressure regulation system. Gas
cylinders from which gas is taken in the liquid phase (e.g.
for fork lifts) must not be used, since they would result in
damage to the gas system.
– High‑pressure hoses with hose rupture protection (HRP)
are essential for connecting the gas cylinders to the gas
pressure regulation system. Truma provides the necessary
high‑pressure hoses with the most commonly‑used connec‑
tion variants for European gas cylinders (see Page 74).
– 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 op‑
erator 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.
In combination with a high‑pressure gas hose with integrat‑
ed hose rupture protection (HRP), the Truma DuoControl CS
gas pressure regulation system complies with all of the
relevant standards, regulations 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.
– Gas cylinders that are not connected to the gas installation
must be closed at all times and provided with protection
caps. Connected gas cylinders are considered to be oper‑
ating materials and not hazardous materials (ADR exemption
in accordance with sections 1.1.3.1 and 1.1.3.2 e).
