10.2.3 Truma Combi hot-air heater
Depending on the equipment, different heaters are installed in the vehicles.
The heaters differ with regard to the energy type with which they can be oper-
ated.
Operating modes All heaters have two operating modes:
Winter operation
Summer operation
It is only possible to heat the vehicle in the "Winter" operating mode. With the
"Summer" operating mode only water in the boiler is heated. It is not possible
to heat the vehicle in this operating mode.
Selecting operating mode:
Set the operating mode using the rotary switch (Fig. 155,3).
The power supply of the heater cannot be interrupted by means of the 12 V
main switch.
Variant: Heater with gas
operation
The heater is operated exclusively with gas.
Winter operation The heater selects the necessary burner setting according to the required
room temperature. When the required room temperature is reached, the
burner is switched off. The room temperature is measured by the temperature
sensor next to the panel. In "Heater and boiler" operating mode (Fig. 155,6)
water in the boiler is also heated. In the operating mode "Heater without boiler"
(Fig. 155,5) the heater can be operated with an empty boiler.
Switching on:
Open the regulator tap on the gas bottle and the gas isolator tap "Heater/
boiler".
Turn the temperature control knob (Fig. 155,1) on the operating unit to the
desired heating level.
Set rotary switch (Fig. 155,3) to winter operation "Heater without boiler"
(Fig. 155,5) or to winter operation "Heater and boiler" (Fig. 155,6).
When there is a danger of frost the heater is not in operation, empty the
heating system.
Do not use the space above and behind the heater as a storage compart-
ment.
The circulation fan is automatically switched on when the hot-air heater is
activated, and it stays on. This puts an immense strain on the living area
battery, if the vehicle is connected to an external 240 V power supply. Take
into consideration that the living area battery only has limited reserves of
energy.
