Function description
VarioHeat is a warm air heater for air circulation to heat camp-
ing vehicles quickly. The burner is fan-assisted, which ensures
that operation is problem-free, even when on the move.
The appliance automatically selects the required operating
level according to the temperature difference between the set-
ting on the control panel and the current room temperature.
A boost function for quick heating and a night function for
low-noise operation are also available. The various fan set-
tings allow air circulation mode without heating.
The digital control panel can be used to select other functions
such as time switch or operation of a Truma air conditioning
system. Information on this can be found under Truma CP plus
VarioHeat digital control panel
This appliance always starts up at the lowest setting. If this is
not sufficient to achieve the desired temperature inside the
vehicle, the appliance switches to a higher operating level af-
ter about 5 minutes.
Start-up
– Remove the cowl cover.
– Open the gas cylinder and the quick-acting valve in the gas
supply line.
– Switch on the heater, see.

If the appliance is not used for a long period, place on the
cowl cover and close the quick-acting valve in the gas supply
line and the gas cylinder.
Room temperature sensor
To measure the room temperature, an external room tempera-
ture sensor is located in the vehicle. The position of the sensor
is determined by the vehicle manufacturer depending on the
vehicle model. More information can be found in the operat-
ing instructions for your vehicle.
Figure 1
The temperature setting on the control panel depends on per-
sonal heating requirements and the design of the vehicle, and
must be determined individually.

Safety instructions
– Operate the Truma CP plus VarioHeat control panel only if it
is in a technically perfect condition.
– Repairs must be carried out immediately. Only carry out
repairs yourself if the solution is described in the trouble-
shooting guide of this operating instructions.

Important notes
– If the power supply to the system has been interrupted, the
time / time switch must be reset.
– If a new or replacement appliance (heater, air conditioning
system) is connected to the bus system, the procedure de-
scribed in “Initial start-up” must be repeated.
Air conditioning systems – shared use of
IR remote control and Truma CP plus VarioHeat
control panel
– Even after connecting the Truma CP plus VarioHeat control
panel, the IR remote control is available for controlling the
air conditioning system. The Truma CP plus VarioHeat con-
trol panel recognises all settings that are made using the
IR remote control on the air conditioning system. The IR
remote control only transmits the settings that are shown in
its display (no bidirectional communication).
– Only the time switch of the Truma CP plus VarioHeat control
panel may be used to clearly define the start and end time
of a required period.
