Symbols used
The appliance must be installed and repaired only by
an expert.
Symbol indicates a possible hazard.
Comment including information and tips.
Risk of overheating! Do not cover the heater.
Intended use
The appliance is approved only for installation and operation in
caravans in vehicle class O, motorcaravans in vehicle class M1
and mobile homes.
Safety instructions
To ensure proper operation and to prevent
damage, for the power supply use only pure
sinusoidal sources (e.g. voltage converter,
generator) without voltage spikes.
If the power cable of this appliance is dam-
aged, it must be replaced by the manufactur-
er, its customer service department or a simi-
larly qualified person to prevent hazards.
A water pipe may be placed on the warm air
duct only if there is a gap of at least 1.5 m to
the heater.
The following will especially void warranty,
guarantee and liability claims:
– Modifications to the appliance (including
accessories),
– Use of spare parts and accessories other
than Truma original parts,
– Non-compliance with installation and operat-
ing instructions.
Operate the appliance only with the correspond-
ing control panels and accessories from Truma.
The operating permit for the appliance also
becomes void and, as a result, also the vehicle
operation permit in some countries.

Only competent, trained personnel (experts) may install,
start up and repair the Truma product with considera-
tion of the installation and operating instructions and
the current recognised rules of engineering. Experts
are persons who, based on their professional training,
their knowledge of and experience with Truma products
and the relevant standards, are able to carry out the re-
quired work properly and recognise potential hazards.

Install the Truma E-Kit only in a location that is protected from
moisture and wetness. It must not be installed beneath a sink
or water container.
Installation instructions A water pipe may be placed on the warm air duct only if there
is a gap of at least 1.5m to the heater.
The Truma E-Kit must not be used to heat driver or passenger
compartments of motor vehicles.
The Truma E-Kit must be installed so that it is easily accessi-
ble at all times for servicing and can be easily removed and
re-installed.
Install the Truma E-Kit so that there is a gap of at least 6 mm
all round to furniture or parts of the vehicle.
Do not block the warm air outlets of the Truma E-Kit. It must
be possible for warm air to blow out freely for at least 30 cm.
Depending on the installation situation, additional space may
be required for connections (warm and circulation air ducts).
The Truma E-Kit must be installed so that the driver and pas-
sengers cannot come into contact with the appliance under
normal driving conditions.
The functions of parts of the vehicle that are important for op-
eration must not be adversely affected.
The Truma E-Kit may not be installed directly beneath a wall
power point.
To ensure that components inside the appliance are not dam-
aged, do not fix cables or water pipes to the housing of the
appliance.
Check whether the vehicle has a load-bearing floor or an
access or intermediate floor to fix the heater – if this is un-
suitable, create a load-bearing surface beforehand (e.g. glue
a sheet of plywood on to the floor). The same requirements
must be observed for mounting on a wall.
The Truma E-Kit may be installed in the vehicle only with the
supplied mounting bracket.
Installation location
Floor installation
The Truma E-Kit may be installed only on a level surface with
a maximum horizontal incline of ± 10°.
± 10°

It must not be installed at an angle (incline > ± 10°).
Wall installation
The Truma E-Kit may be installed on a wall only horizontally.
The horizontal incline must not exceed ± 10°.

Preparation
Install Truma VarioHeat according to the installation instructions.
Attach the mounting bracket (1) to the Truma E-Kit with two
PT screws (5x14mm) (2.5Nm), in each case with a spring
washer between (Figure 05 I/II).

or be installed in the warm air distribution system of the
TrumaVarioHeat.

Separate installation space
If the Truma E-Kit is installed in the warm air distribution sys-
tem, it can be installed in a separate space. The circulated air
intake of the Truma VarioHeat must be fed through the instal-
lation space of the Truma E-Kit. Circulated air intake must take
place from the living room (not the rear storage locker) to the
installation space via one large or several smaller openings
with an overall area of at least 150 cm². If a grille (not sup-
plied) is installed, the same requirements regarding the cross
section through which the air is sucked in (150cm²) must be
observed.

Installing the Truma E-Kit in the warm air
distribution system
If the Truma E-Kit is installed in the warm air distribution
system, a duct adapter (available separately) must be
used.
Insert the duct adapter(3) into the Truma E-Kit until both snap
locks(4) engage in the housing. The duct adapter(3) can also
be screwed to the recesses in the housing of the Truma E-Kit
with two screws (2.9x13mm).

Warm air distribution
Risk of fire or malfunction as a result of incorrect instal-
lation or use of parts other than original Truma parts for
warm air distribution.
– Use only Truma original parts for warm air distribution.
The heater has been tested and approved only with these
parts.
– Follow the installation instructions when installing the
warm air distribution system.
Refer to the additional information about warm air distri-
bution in the installation instructions for TrumaVarioHeat.
If no duct VR 80 or elbow BG 80 is attached to the warm
air outlet of the Truma E-Kit, a grille (1) must be fitted.
Elbow BG 80 must be used for 90° bends in the warm air
system to prevent pressure losses.

Electrical connection
The connection cable and plug must not be subject to any
tension. For strain relief, bunch the connector cables and at-
tach them to the enclosed tie mounts with cable ties.

Power supply 12 V
Electric cables, switching and control devices for heaters
must be arranged in the vehicle so that they function per-
fectly under normal operating conditions. All cables that lead
outside must be laid so that they are protected against spray
water at the hole.
Before starting work on electrical parts, you must disconnect
the appliance from the power supply. It is not sufficient to
switch it off on the control panel!
If electric arc welding is to be carried out on bodywork, dis-
connect the appliance from the on-board power supply.
Attach the 12 V connector cable to the electronics of the
Truma E-Kit and connect the 12V power supply. Protect the
positive cable with a 1 A fuse (supplied) near the positive pole
of the power supply.

Truma E-Kit
Figure 20
Power supply 230 V
All electrical work and permanent wiring must be
carried out by a qualified person in accordance with
the standards AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 3001 and all local
codes and regulatory authority requirements. According to
Standard AS/NZS 3001.2008 “Electrical installations – Trans-
portable structures and vehicles” all electric circuits must be
protected with an RCD (residual current device).
Make the connection to the power supply by attaching the
supply cord to a line that is protected with at least 10A
(preferably 16A).
Lay the connector cables so that they cannot chafe. Also use
edge protection or leadthrough bushings on sharp edges, such
as holes on metal walls. The connector cables must not be fixed
to or touch the exhaust duct (of Truma VarioHeat), the housing or
the warm air ducts of the Truma E-Kit (minimum gap: 5cm).
All cables must be secured with clamps.
For maintenance and repair work, the vehicle must have a
separator for complete separation from the power supply
with a minimum contact distance of 3.5 mm.
Controlling the Truma E-Kit
Use TIN connecting cables to connect the Truma VarioHeat and
the Truma CP plus VarioHeat control panel with the Truma E-Kit.

Function check
Then check all functions of the appliance in accordance with
the operating instructions of Truma CP plus VarioHeat.
Hand the operating instructions over to the vehicle owner.
The year when the appliance was first put into operation
must be marked with a cross on the type plate.
