Installation
instructions
Please fold out page
with diagrams!
The installation and repair
of the appliance is only to
be carried out by an expert.
Read the installation instruc-
tions carefully prior to starting
work and observe the instruc-
tions!
Intended use
This appliance has been de-
signed for installation in vehi-
cles (mobile homes, caravans,
boats, trucks). Other applica-
tions are also possible follow-
ing consultation with Truma.
Approval
Declaration of conformity:
The Trumatic E heater has
been tested and approved by
the DVGW and complies with
the EC guideline for gas appli-
ances (90/396/EEC) as well as
the associated EC guidelines.
The following CE Product
Ident. No. is avai-lable for EU
countries:
E 2800 (A): CE-0085AP0231
E 4000 (A): CE-0085AP0232
The heater is approved for in-
stallation in rooms frequented
by people (in motor vehicles)
and for operation while the
vehicle is moving.
The appliance is not approved
for installation inside busses.
In Germany, for inspection or
testing of the vehicle accord-
ing to Sections 19, 20 and
21 of StVZO, the installation
is also to be inspected. For
subsequent installation pro-
ceed as specified in Section
19 of StVZO.
General Design Approval
of the German Federal Of-
fice for Motor Vehicles:
E 2800 (A):
S 140
E 4000 (A):
S 139
Regulations
Any alteration to the appliance
(including exhaust duct and
cowl) or the use of spare parts
and accessories which are
important for the functioning
of the heater and which are
not original Truma parts, as
well as the non-observance of
the installation and operating
instructions, shall lead to the
cancelling of the guarantee and
exclusion of liability claims. It
also becomes illegal to use
the appliance, and in some
countries this even makes it
illegal to use the vehicle.
The operating pressure for
the gas supply is 30 mbar
(or 28 mbar butane/37 mbar
propane) or 50 mbar and
must correspond to the oper-
ating pressure of the appli-
ance (see name plate).
Take the nameplate from
the operating instructions
and installation instruc-
tions and adhere to the ap-
pliance at a place where it
is clearly visible and pro-
tected against damage.
The year of initial opera-
tion must be marked on
the nameplate.
When installing the appli-
ance always observe the
technical and administra-
tive rules and regulations
of the country in which
the vehicle is to be regis-
tered for the first time.
In Germany, for example, gas
appliances, cylinder mounts,
the laying of lines, and accep-
tance and tightness tests,
must all accord with the
DVGW datasheet G 607 for
liquid gas systems in leisure
vehicles, and G 608 for liquid
gas systems in water sports
vehicles respectively.
For vehicles used for com-
mercial purposes, the rele-
vant accident prevention reg-
ulations issued by the profes-
sional associations are to be
respected (BGV D 34).
For further details on the
rules and regulations in the
respective country of desig-
nation, please contact our
agencies abroad (refer to the
International Service).
Exhaust gas lines and chim-
neys must be laid in such a
way that exhaust gases can-
not penetrate into the interior
of the vehicle. Operationally
important parts of the vehicle
must not be impaired in their
function. The outlet of the ex-
haust gas tube is to be posi-
tioned upwards, to the side,
or, in the event of the exhaust
gas being laid beneath the
vehicle floor, to a point in the
vicinity of the side or rear de-
limitation of the vehicle cab
or of the vehicle itself.
Hot air distribution:
Hot air
suction apertures must be
arranged in such a way that
no exhaust gases from the
engine or the heating device
can be drawn in. It must be
ensured by means of con-
struction design that the
heating air introduced into
the vehicle is not polluted
(e.g. by oil vapour). This is
achieved, for example, with
air heaters with circulating air
operation, both for interior in-
stallations and for external in-
stallations. (In heaters with
fresh air operation the fresh
air is not to come from the
engine compartment or from
the vicinity of the exhaust or
the exhaust outlet of the
heater).
Notes on the
installation in
commercial vehicles
The officially tested (TÜV)
cylinder bracket (Art. no.
39741-00) - refer to Fig. J1 -
is part of the General Design
Approval of the German Fed-
eral Office for Motor Vehicles,
for the Trumatic E heaters, in
compliance with Section 22a.
of StVZO (Road Traffic Act).
Here it is stated that 2 gas
cylinders with a contents of
max. 15 kg can be connected
and used for operating the
heaters while the vehicle is
moving. For the protection of
the cylinder valve and the gas
pressure regulator, just the
protective cover provided with
the cylinder bracket is required.
For protection against theft or
for reasons of appearance,
the gas cylinder can also be
concealed using the lockable
cylinder cabinet (Art. no.
39010-21100) - refer to Fig.
J2. The cabinet is bolted with
the cylinder bracket to the ve-
hicle frame.
When installing the heater in
special vehicles (e.g. vehicles
for transporting hazardous
goods), the respective regula-
tions for such vehicles must
be observed.
Notes on installation
in driver's cab
1. For appliances with ex-
haust ducts under the vehicle
floor, the exhaust cowl must
extend into the area of the
side or rear wall of the cab or
vehicle, in order to make sure
exhaust gas does not enter
the inside of the vehicle.
2. Model-related assembly in-
structions can be obtained
from Truma.
3. In Germany, for tank vehi-
cles carrying hazardous
goods in the field of applica-
tion covered by the ADR, the
appliance is only approved
with the Truma control unit.
Installation instruc-
tions for permanent
heating appliances in
cargo holds
1. It is preferable for heating
appliances to be installed in-
side the location concerned.
If there is a risk of water en-
tering the heating appliance
due to cleaning operations,
install the heater types that
are specially designed to be
externally mounted (E 2800 A,
E 4000 A).
2. If there is not enough room
in the cargo hold, a heating
appliance with floor cowl
should be installed on the
front face. If underfloor heat-
ing with wall cowl has been
installed, a suitable means
must be used to ensure that
neither dirt nor dampness can
enter the heater through the
circuits for combustion prod-
ucts or recirculating air.
3. Installation in vehicles used
for the transport of hazardous
goods is not permitted.
Notes on installation
in boats
For installation in boats, apply
the installation instructions
analogously. In this connection,
also observe the following:
1. In Germany, the „Technical
specifications“ of the DVGW
form G 608 must be observed
for sports boats, and for com-
mercial inland shipping the
„guidelines for construction,
fitting, testing and operation
of liquid gas systems for do-
mestic purposes on boats,
within the scope of inland
shipping“ (BGR 146) must be
observed. According to these
guidelines the liquid gas sys-
tem is only to be installed by
fitters recognised by the in-
land shipping liability insur-
ance association (Berufs-
genossenschaft) and is only
to be checked and tested by
experts of this association. In
other countries always ob-
serve the respectively valid
regulations.
2. It is not possible to install
heaters with floor cowl.
3. For further notes on instal-
lation, refer to the assembly
instructions for the Trumatic E
boat heater.
