7.3 DuoControl regulating system
DuoControl is a safety gas pressure regulating system with automatic
switching for a two-bottle gas system. The DuoControl regulating system auto-
matically switches the gas supply from the primary bottle to the reserve bottle
as soon as the primary bottle is either empty or no longer ready for operation.
The gas appliances may still continue operation. The DuoControl regulating
system is suitable for all commercial gas bottles with liquefied gas (propane/
butane) and a pressure of 0.6 bar to 16 bar.
The DuoControl regulating system ensures a constant gas pressure for the
gas-operated devices, no matter which gas bottle is supplying the gas.
In the case of vehicles with a DuoControl regulating system, the operation of
gas-operated devices is allowed during the journey in all of Europe.
In the event of an accident, the crash sensor in the DuoControl regulating
system will interrupt the gas flow.
The gas bottles are connected via high pressure hoses. A hose break guard
prevents gas leakage in the event of a damaged hose.

Use only 11 kg or 5 kg gas bottles. Camping gas bottles with built-in
check valve (blue bottle with max. 2.5 or 3 kg content) are can be used
in exceptional cases with a safety valve.

bottles.

Connect gas pressure regulator complete with safety valve directly to bottle
valve.
The gas pressure regulator reduces the gas pressure in the gas bottle
down to the operating pressure of the gas devices.

For filling and connecting the gas bottles in Europe the accessories shops
have corresponding Euro filling sets and Euro bottle sets.
