9:1 TROUBLESHOOTING Always start by checking any error messages. The boiler will not start on gas • No LPG? • Is the main tap fully open? • Check that the type of LPG used is suitable for the prevailing outdoor temperature. Butane is unsuitable for use at temperatures lower than +10°C. Use propane instead. • If the boiler has not been operated for some time, or if the LPG cylinder is new, it may take longer than normal to light the boiler. • Check that power is being supplied to the boiler (> 11 V).
The first time you use the heating system, check that the correct accessories/functions are activated. This also applies when new accessories/functions have been added to the heating system. Activate accessories/functions by pressing Installed Accessories (see figure 1). This will take you to the activation menu for accessories/functions where a check in each function/accessory will activate it.
12. CARE AND MAINTENANCE • Checking and changing glycol mixture. Regularly check the heating system’s fluid level in the expansion tank. The level should be about 1 cm above the minimum mark, with the heating system cold. The heating system should be filled with a fluid mixture made up from water and ethylene glycol. For best results, use high-quality ready-mixed ethylene glycol (with inhibitors) intended for use in aluminium heating systems.
• • • • • • • • Always switch off the main isolating switch for the boiler when the vehicle is not in use. When washing the vehicle, do not spray water directly towards the flue. When camping in winter conditions, ensure the flue and exhaust air valves are kept clear of snow and ice. Ethylene glycol fluid may be heated even if the hot water heater is not filled with freshwater. The LPG boiler and electric element may be operated simultaneously.
CABLE CONNECTION COMPACT 3020 HIGH EFFICIENCY AND CONTROL PANEL 3020 113 Connect accessories to the boiler and control panel as shown in the diagram below. NB! Do not clamp 12 V cables or sensor cables together with 230 V cables. It is best not to position the cables close to one another. If the cables are bundled together, there is a greater risk of malfunction during operation.
