General safety notes
Repairs may only be carried out by properly
qualified professionals!
- To avoid damage d ring transport, the nit m st only be
dispatched after disc ssion with the Tr ma Service depart-
ment (see front page).
- Any work involving connection or interconnecting wiring
m st be cond cted by a licensed electrician.
- The voltage m st be disconnected at all poles before the
ho sing is opened.
- The nit f se, 240 V, 3,15 A (IEC 127) is located on the
electronic control board in the device, and may only be re-
placed by a f se of the same design.
- Unit f ses and connection leads may only be replaced
by a licensed electrician.
- Any alteration to the nit, or the se of spare parts and
f nctionally-important accessories which are not original
Tr ma components, or fail re to respect the Installation and
Operating Instr ctions, will lead to the cancellation of the
g arantee and to the excl sion of claims for liability.
- The cooling circ it contains the refrigerant R 22, and may
only be opened by a properly q alified person.
- The indoor air o tflow and the ret rn air intake m st
not on any acco nt be obstr cted. Please bear this in mind
in order to ens re the tro ble-free operation of the nit.
- The apert res on the side of the vehicle m st be kept
free of dirt and snow sl sh.
- In order to avoid damage to the compressor, when the
nit is in operation d ring transit (for example, with the
generator or voltage transformer working), do not attempt
phill or downhill gradients of more than 5°.
- Do not allow the nit to r n for extended periods in a tilted
position, since the condensation water which forms may not
be able to r n off, and in the worst scenario might penetrate
into the vehicle.
- Before switching on, it is essential to make s re that the
f se system for the power s pply at the camp site is s ffi-
cient for 950 W (240 V) (at least 4.4 A).
- The power s pply cable for the caravan (minim m cross-
section 3 x 2.5 mm2) m st be nwo nd completely from
the cable dr m.
- This nit is not to be sed by children or infirm persons
witho t proper s pervision at all times. Not to be sed
as a toy.

Operating instructions
Always obser e the Operating Instructions and „Impor-
tant Operating Notes“ prior to starting! The vehicle owner
is responsible for ens ring that the nit can be operated in the
proper manner.
Control Panel
Cooling Operation
1. T rn selector on the control panel to the „CL“ position for
cooling at low fan speed or „CH“ for cooling at high fan speed.
Note: The indoor fan starts immediately and the green light is
displayed. The compressor starts approximately 30 seconds
later.
2. Set thermostat to a temperat re for yo r individ al req ire-
ments.
Note: If the room temperat re is below 20°C, the compressor
will not operate and the yellow light in the control panel will
come on.
Once the set temperat re on the control has been rea-
ched, the green light will go o t and the compressor will
switch off. The indoor fan contin es to r n.
Heating Operation
1. T rn selector on the control panel to the „H“ position.
Note: After switching on; the green light is displayed, after ap-
proximately 30 seconds the compressor starts and after f rther
30 seconds the indoor fan starts in low speed only.
2. Set thermostat to a temperat re for yo r individ al req ire-
ments.
Switching Off
T rn selector on the control panel to the „Off“ position.
De-Icing
The de-icing cycle is associated with the heating mode. It will
set into operation a tomatically if one of the sensors detects
frost on any of the heat exchangers. The b ild p of frost
wo ld otherwise impair the cooling or heating capacity of the
nit.
When the de-icing cycle begins the compressor and indoor fan
will stop and after approximately 10 seconds the reversing
valve will be switched on. 30 seconds later the compressor will
re-start. The indoor does not r n d ring the de-icing cycle.
The air conditioner will r n in this mode ntil the frost has been
removed and then will a tomatically res me normal operation.

Notes for the use of the air-conditioner
- The Tr ma-Climaster is recommended for pop-top caravans
and caravans p to 4.8 m overall length, b t req ires that
all walls and ceilings are ins lated with a minim m
thickness of 25 mm.
- As far as possible, park yo r vehicle in the shade.
- Darkening the interior with window blinds and/or a roof
awning will red ce the penetration of radiant heat.
- Clean the roof of the vehicle reg larly (dirty roofs heat p
more readily).
- Before operating the device, ventilate yo r vehicle thoro ghly,
in order to allow the hot air which b ilds p inside to escape.
- Take care when p tting p awnings or similar that there are
s fficient openings for the o tdoor air to be discharged.
- To create a healthy environment on the inside of the vehicle,
the difference between the inside and o tside temperat res
sho ld not be selected as too great. D ring operation the
indoor air will be p rified and dried. D e to the drying of the
moist, h mid air, a pleasant environment will be created
inside even with slight temperat re differences.
- Keep the doors and windows closed while the cooling
system is in operation.
- The capacity of the air conditioner to adeq ately cool or heat
is dependant on:
· Size of the caravan
· Ins lation of the caravan
· Size and type of windows
· Shading
· Ventilation from indoor to o tdoor

Maintenance
Ret rn air filter
The ret rn air filter is located on the side of the nit and m st
be cleaned monthly.
If the air conditioner is in se in very d sty conditions and at
high h midity, it sho ld be cleaned weekly.
Take o t the filter by bending it, clean in warm soapy water
and replace.
Note: Ne er run the unit without filter. Witho t a filter the
evaporator will become dirty, which in t rn will impair the per-
formance of the nit.
Condensation drain
The condensation water drain is located on the side of the ve-
hicle. In order for the condensation water to drain away freely, a
reg lar check sho ld be made to ens re that the drain hose is
free of dirt, vegetation resid e, or similar obstr ctions. If this is
not done, there is a risk of condensation water penetrating
into the ehicle.
Fixing of the air conditioner
We s ggest the sec ring of the air conditioner to the floor is
checked after the first three months of installation and there-
after each 12 months. Ins re the tie down belt is p lled tight
and the nit is nable to move in any direction.

Fault finding
Before calling C stomer Service, please check the following:
Symptom Cause
When switching on, the nit - No 240 V s pply voltage
does not operate
Connect the caravan to the site s pply and/or check resid al
c rrent circ it breaker.
When switching on heating - Temperat re setting on the
operation, the nit does not control control panel to low
operate
Set the ambient room temperat re on the control panel.
When switching on cooling - Temperat re setting on the
operation, the nit does not control control panel to high
operate
Set the ambient room temperat re on the control panel.
Note: If the room temperat re is below 20°C, the compressor
will not operate and the yellow light in the control panel will
come on (only cooling mode).
Un s al high condensation - Door or windows open
on the nit or the cold air (high h midity)
d cts
Close all doors and windows d ring operation and set to cool-
ing high „CH“ on the control panel.
Unit operates for a prolonged - Indoor air filter blocked
period (heating or cooling) - Apert re for the o tdoor air
and then stops blocked
Check the indoor air filter, the air intake to the stowage box (in
which the nit is installed) and the apert re for the o tdoor air
(refer to maintenance).
If fault persists please contact the nearest
Truma-Ser ice.
