Safety instructions
Repairs may only be carried out by an
expert!
To avoid transportation damage, the device
may only be dispatched if the Truma Service
Centre in Germany or the respective authorised
service partner has been consulted beforehand.
The power supply must be disconnected from
the mains (all poles) before opening the housing.
The 230 V, T 6.3 A H-type (slow, IEC 127)
device fuse can be found on the electronic
control unit in the device, and must always be
replaced with an identical fuse.
The device fuses and connection cables must
only be replaced by experts.
Guarantee claims, warranty claims and ac-
ceptance of liability will be ruled out in the
event of the following:
– Modifications to the device (including
accessories)
– Failure to use original Truma parts as re-
placement parts and accessories
– Failure to follow the installation and operat-
ing instructions
This may also invalidate the device operating
permit, which in many countries also denotes
cancellation of the vehicle operating permit.
The refrigerant circuit contains R 407C refriger-
ant and must only be opened in the factory.
The air outlet and and the circulated air intake
must not be obstructed under any circum-
stances. This is essential in order to ensure
that your device operates correctly.
The openings beneath the floor of the vehi-
cle must be kept free of dirt and slush. These
openings must not be within the range of the
wheel spray – fit splash guard if necessary.
If underbody protection is being applied to
the floor of the vehicle, all openings beneath
the vehicle must be covered so that the spray
mist that is created does not penetrate the de-
vice and cause malfunctions. Remove covers
again when the work is complete.
In order to avoid damage to the compressor,
no uphill or downhill slopes with an incline of
more than 8 % must be driven on when the
device is being operated while driving (e.g.
with generator or voltage converter).
Do not operate the device for long periods
with the vehicle at an angle, since the conden-
sation that is produced may not be able to run
away and may penetrate the vehicle under un-
favourable circumstances.
In order to ensure that the equipment works
properly and to avoid damage, only power
supply sources with a purely sinusoidal wave-
form (e.g. voltage converter, generator) and
without voltage peaks must be used.
When the floor of the vehicle is being cleaned,
it must be ensured that no water penetrates
the openings in the base of the device when
spraying with a high-pressure cleaner, for
example.
For safety reasons the device must always be
closed during operation, since this is the only
way to ensure that no injuries are caused by
moving parts. The strap around the electronic
housing must not be removed.
Notes on using air conditioning systems
– The Saphir comfort RC AU is designed for
minimal power consumption. You should still
check whether the camp site has adequate
fuse protection (min. 6 A) before starting the
equipment up.
– Park the vehicle in the shade if possible.
– Darkening with shutters and / or a canopy
reduces the amount of heat radiation.
– Clean your roof at regular intervals (dirty
roofs heat up more than clean roofs).
– The vehicle must be properly ventilated
before starting the equipment in order to
remove accumulated warm air from the
vehicle.
– When aprons or the like are being fitted,
please ensure that adequate openings are
present for dissipating the supply air. The
opening for the warm outgoing air should
not be at the inlet side.
– In order to obtain a healthy room climate,
the difference between the inside and out-
side temperatures should not be too great.
The recirculated air is cleaned and dried dur-
ing operation. A pleasant room climate is
produced by drying the moist air, even if the
temperature difference is minimal.
– Keep all doors and windows closed when in
cooling mode.
– Full ventilation power can only be achieved
at all three openings if three cold air ducts
are connected.
– The air outlet channel (part no. 40040-32500)
must not be used.
– When in heating mode, only use “high” fan
level for rapid heating. Set to “medium” or
“low” during continuous operation.
