Operation
Use the control knob (a) to manually select
which cylinder will be operating and which
will be held in reserve.
The mica window (b) indicates the status of
the operating cylinder:
green = Gas from the operating cylinder.
red = Gas from the reserve cylinder.
-
Open gas remote switch if present.
-
For example, turn control knob (a) to the
left until it stops (left connection is
operating cylinder).
-
Connect gas cylinders and make sure all
hose connections are in good condition.
-
Open the valves on both gas cylinders.
-
If fitted, press SBS (c) on high pressure
hose.
-
The display in the mica window will turn
green.
Changeover
As soon as the pressure in the operating
cylinder falls below 0.6 bar, the DuoControl
regulator automatically switches over and
begins taking gas from the second gas
cylinder. The display in the mica window
turns red.
In extreme cold or when a large amount of
gas is consumed from the cylinder over a
long period of time, the gas pressure may fall
below 0.6 bar even though there is still some
gas left in the cylinder. This may result in gas
being taken from both gas cylinders
simultaneously.
If needed, you can change the position of the
control knob at any time. Always turn control
knob (a) as far to the left or right as it will go
(an intermediate position will cause gas to be
removed from both gas cylinders
simultaneously).
Changing the LPG Cylinder
DuoControl enables replacement of an
empty cylinder without interrupting the
operation of devices currently consuming the
gas. Non-return valves integrated into the
inlet connecting piece prevent gas from
escaping when only one gas cylinder is
attached for a short time.
Please refer to your manual for more
information on the DuoControl regulator.
TYPES OF GAS
Butane
Butane is supplied in the U.K. in blue bottles.
Butane is suitable for use at temperatures
down to 2
°
C, but will not work below that
temperature.
Propane
Propane is supplied in red bottles which
have a left-hand threaded connector.
Propane will work at temperatures as low as
-40
°
C and is therefore suitable for winter
caravanning.
Make sure that heating and cooking
appliances are turned off, and also the
regulator at the gas cylinders before
travelling.
Never allow modification of LPG systems
and appliances except by qualified
persons.
