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!
Non-compliance with installation instructions or
incorrect installation can result in endangerment
of persons and property.

Intended use

This device was designed for installing in vehicles (motor
homes, caravans, boats and commercial vehicles). Other ap-
plications are also possible following consul tation with Truma.
Installation inside busses (vehicle classes M2 and M3) is not
permitted.
Vehicles for class EX/II and EX/III hazardous materials
Combustion heaters for gaseous fuel are not permitted.

Approval

Directive 2004/78/EC stipulates that a safety shut-off device
is required if motor homes are being heated while driving.
The Truma gas pressure control systems SecuMotion /
MonoControl CS satisfy these requirements.
The installation of a safety shut-off device, such as e.g. the gas
pressure control system Truma SecuMotion / MonoControl CS
with the correct gas installation configuration, means that the
operation of a type-approved liquid gas heating system when
the vehicle is on the move is approved throughout Europe in
accordance with the EC Directive 2001/56/EC.
The safety shut-off device is also recommended for safety
reasons if caravans are being heated while driving.
The heater is approved for installation in motor vehicles for
transporting passengers (motor caravans in vehicle class M1)
that have no more than 8 seats excluding the driver's seat, for
trailers (caravans in vehicle class O) and for commercial vehi-
cles (vehicle class N).
The year when the equipment was first taken into oper-
ation must be indicated with a check on the type plate.

Regulations

Guarantee claims, warranty claims and acceptance of liability
will be ruled out in the event of the following:
– modifications to the unit (including accessories),
– modifications to the exhaust duct and the cowl,
– 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.
In-vehicle installations must comply with the technical and
administrative regulations of the respective country of use (e.g.
EN 1949 for vehicles). The national regulations and rules (e.g.
DVGW work sheet G 607 in Germany) must be complied with.
The relevant employer's liability insurance association accident
prevention regulations must be observed in Germany for vehi-
cles used for commercial purposes (BGV D 34).
In other countries always observe the respectively valid
regulations.
For further details on the rules and regulations in the respec-
tive country of desig-nation, please contact our agencies
abroad (see Truma Service Booklet or www.truma.com).

Notes on the installation in commercial vehicles

The TÜV-tested cylinder holder
(part no. 39742-00) is a constituent of the
type approval for Trumatic E heaters in ac-
cordance with heater directive 2001/56/EC.
Here it is stated that 2 gas cylinders with a
contents of max. 15 kg can be connected
and used for operating the heaters while the
vehicle is moving. For the protection of the
cylinder valve and the gas pressure regula-
tor, just the protective cover provided with
the cylinder bracket is required.
For protection against theft or for reasons of
appearance, the gas cylinder can also
be concealed using the lockable cylinder
cabinet (part no. 39010-21100). The cabinet
is bolted with the cylinder bracket to the
vehicle frame.
When installing the heater in special vehicles (e.g. vehicles for
transporting hazardous goods), the respective regulations for
such vehicles must be observed.

Notes on installation in driver's cab

In the case of heating systems where the waste gas is guided
below the vehicle floor, the waste gas cowl outlet must be
attached up to the side or rear edge of the driver's cab or the
vehicle. Steps must be taken to ensure that no waste gases
can enter the inside of the vehicle (e.g. from below through
the vehicle floor).
Model-related assembly instructions can be obtained from
Truma.
In Germany, for tank vehicles carrying hazardous goods in the
field of application covered by the ADR, the appliance is only
approved with the Truma control unit.

Notes on installation in boats

Installation in boats must accord with the technical and ad-
ministrative provisions of the individual country of use (e.g.
EN ISO 10239 for boats). National specifications and regula-
tions (in Germany, for example, DVGW Worksheet G 608)
must be respected.
The "Guidelines for the Construction, Installation, Testing and
Operation of Liquid Gas Systems for Household Purposes
on Inland Waterways" (BGR 146) must be complied with in
Germany. According to these guidelines the liquid gas system
must be installed by an engineer who has been approved by
the inland waterways employer's liability associations and
tested by experts belonging to these employer's liability insur-
ance associations.
In other countries always observe the respectively valid
regulations.
For further notes on installation, refer to the assembly instruc-
tions for the Trumatic E boat heater.

Choice of location

Always install the appliance and its exhaust duct in such a
way that it is always easily accessible for service work and can
be removed and installed easily.
For evenly distributed heating, the installation of the appliance
should be as much in the centre of the vehicle as possible
(or under the vehicle), and in such a way that the air distribu-
tion ducts can be routed with approximately the same length.
