Proper use

Truma LevelControl is a digital gas level measuring device for up-
right (propane / butane – LPG) steel or aluminium gas cylinders
with a diameter of 200 to 350 mm. The appliance was designed
for use in gas lockers of motor homes (vehicle class M1) and
caravans (vehicle class O). Any other additional use is incorrect.

Safety instructions

– Danger from magnetic fields.
Persons who have an active heart pacemaker must maintain
a safety clearance of 30 cm between the appliance and the
implant.
– The appliance must not be operated unless it is in technically
perfect condition.
– Operate the Truma LevelControl only with the approved op-
erating voltage.
– 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.
– A defective Truma LevelControl may only be repaired by the
manufacturer or the manufacturer's service department.
– Do not use the appliance if the casing is damaged or if liq-
uid has entered it.
– Do not make any alterations to the Truma LevelControl.
Changes or modifications to this appliance that have not
been expressly approved by the department responsible for
conformity can invalidate the appliance's operating permit.

Important notes

The Truma LevelControl is not suitable for plastic gas cylin-
ders, refillable tank gas cylinders, gas tanks or butane gas
cartridges (Campingaz).
Dirty or rusty gas cylinders tend to be more difficult to measure
accurately. Interference can also be caused by the following for
example:
– an invisible patch of rust inside the gas cylinder
– very thick paint on the outside of the gas cylinder
– (frozen) condensation on the outside of the gas cylinder
– dented or heavily scratched gas cylinders
Cleaning or measuring at another point within the gas cylin-
der base is in most cases successful. (see "Securing Truma
LevelControl on a gas cylinder")
A Truma iNet Box is required to allow the Truma
LevelControl to be used.

Function description

The Truma LevelControl is secured by magnets or a clamping
sheet under gas cylinders and uses an ultrasonic signal to
measure the fill height of the liquid gas phase. The gas cylin-
der fill level is calculated from this fill height. The current gas
cylinder fill level can be read out with the Truma App.
