6.5 Energy sources
The boiler can be powered either by gas or electricity, or both at the same time. When the boiler
approaches the set temperature, energy consumption is gradually reduced. Press Energy to reach
energy settings. There are two pages for setting energy; they can be reached either by pressing the
numerals in the top right corner (see Fig. 13) or by scrolling up or down.
Fig. 13. Choice of energy sources
Warming up with electricity
The menu selection is max permissible consumption, i.e. the boiler will not use more power than
necessary, even if e.g. 3 kW is selected in the control panel.
Warming up with gas
Press the control on the gas menu line to start and stop gas operation. (See Fig.13)
Priority
It is also possible to prioritise the energy source. When both gas and electricity are switched on, select
the priority energy source. If the priority energy source is insufficient, both will be activated.
Load monitor*
To avoid tripping the 230 V circuit breaker when the vehicle is connected to an electricity pole, use the
load monitor. Set the voltage to the same voltage as the electrical pole's circuit breaker. Always set the
power to 3 kW on the panel. If a load monitor is installed, power on the panel need not be changed
when the vehicle is connected to a new electricity pole; only change the load monitor value.
The boiler and Truma AC connected to the Alde system will automatically reduce their consumption
when e.g. a toaster or hairdryer is switched on.
High altitude mode
Only use high-altitude mode if the boiler will be run on LPG at altitudes above 1000 metres amsl.
For high-altitude LPG operation, use propane to ensure stable combustion. Varied operating
conditions at high altitudes may cause the boiler to not always reach full gas operation.
Press the control on the High-altitude mode menu row to adapt gas operation accordingly. (Fig.13)
6.6 Settings menu
