Symbols used
The device must only be installed and repaired by an
expert.
Symbol indicates a possible hazard.
Note containing information and tips.
Safety instructions
Repairs may only be carried out by properly
qualified professionals!
This device may be used by children aged 8 years or above
and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge, provided
that they are being supervised or have been given instruction
with regard to the safe use of the device and have understood the potential risks. Children must not use the device as
a plaything. Cleaning and user maintenance must always be
carried out by an expert.
To avoid damage during transport, the unit must only be
dispatched after discussion with the Truma Service department (see rear page).
Any work involving connection or interconnecting wiring must
be conducted by a licensed electrician.
The voltage must be disconnected at all poles before the
housing is opened.
The unit fuse, 240 V, 3.15 A (IEC 127) is located on the
electronic control board in the device, and may only be
replaced by a fuse of the same design.
Unit fuses and connection leads may only be replaced by
a licensed electrician.
Any alteration to the unit, or the use of spare parts and
functionally-important accessories which are not original
Truma components, or failure to respect the Installation and
Operating Instructions, will lead to the cancellation of the
guarantee and to the ex clusion of claims for liability.
The cooling circuit contains the refrigerant R 407C, and may
only be opened by a properly qualified person.
The indoor air outflow and the return air intake must not on
any account be obstructed. Please bear this in mind in order
to ensure the trouble-free operation of the unit.
The apertures on the side of the vehicle must be kept free of
dirt and snow slush.
In order to avoid damage to the compressor, when the unit is
in operation during transit (for example, with the generator or
voltage transformer working), do not attempt uphill or downhill gradients of more than 5°.
Do not allow the unit to run for extended periods in a tilted
position, since the condensation water which forms may not
be able to run off, and in the worst scenario might penetrate
into the vehicle.
Before switching on, it is essential to make sure that the fuse
system for the power supply at the camp site is sufficient for
950 W (240 V – at least 4.2 A).
The power supply cable for the caravan (minimum crosssection 3 x 2.5 mm²) must be unwound completely from the
cable drum.

De-Icing
The de-icing cycle is associated with the heating mode. It will
set into operation automatically if one of the sensors detects
frost on any of the heat exchangers. The build up of frost
would otherwise impair the cooling or heating capacity of the
unit.
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 run during the de-icing cycle.
The air conditioner will run in this mode until the frost has
been removed and then will automatically resume normal
operation.
Notes for the use of the air-conditioner
The Truma Climaster is recommended for pop-top caravans
and caravans up to 4.8 m overall length, but requires that all
walls and ceilings are insulated with a minimum thickness of
25 mm.
As far as possible, park your vehicle in the shade.
Darkening the interior with window blinds and / or a roof awning will reduce the penetration of radiant heat.
Clean the roof of the vehicle regularly (dirty roofs heat up
more readily).
Before operating the device, ventilate your vehicle thoroughly,
in order to allow the hot air which builds up inside to escape.
Take care when putting up awnings or similar that there are
sufficient openings for the outdoor air to be discharged.
To create a healthy environment on the inside of the vehicle,
the difference between the inside and outside temperatures
should not be selected as too great. During operation the
indoor air will be purified and dried. Due to the drying of
the moist, humid air, a pleasant environment will be created
inside even with slight temperature differences.
Keep the doors and windows closed while the cooling system
is in operation.
The capacity of the air conditioner to adequately cool or heat
is dependant on:
– Size of the caravan
– Insulation of the caravan
– Size and type of windows
– Shading
– Ventilation from indoor to outdoor
Always observe the Operating Instructions and “Important Operating Notes” prior to starting! The vehicle owner
is responsible for ensuring that the unit can be operated in the
proper manner.

Cooling Operation
1. Turn selector on the control panel to the “b” position for
cooling at low fan speed or “c” 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 temperature for your individual requirements (wide blue bar – is maximum cooling).
Note
If the room temperature is below 20 °C, the compressor
will not operate and the yellow light in the control panel will
come on.
Once the set temperature on the control has been
reached, the green light will go out and the compressor
will switch off. The indoor fan continues to run.
Heating Operation
1. Turn selector on the control panel to the “d” position.
Note
After switching on; the green light is displayed, after approximately 30 seconds the compressor starts and after further
30 seconds the indoor fan starts in low speed only.
2. Set thermostat to a temperature for your individual requirements (wide red bar – is maximum heating power).
Heating is not possible at an outside temperature of
less than 4 °C, as the heating power drops significantly.
Between 4 °C and 7 °C the device briefly switches to thawing
processes. Heating is possible without restrictions above 7 °C.
Switching Off
Turn selector on the control panel to the “a” position.
