The system supplies the convectors with heat by circulating a glycol mixture, which is heated up using gas and/or electricity in the boiler. These instructions explain how to use the Alde Compact 3030/3030 Plus heating systems and control panels in recreational vehicles.
• Never use LPG to run the system when filling up or when filling a fixed LPG tank. • Never use naked flame when checking for gas leaks. • Always use original parts from Alde. • LPG tanks must only be filled by qualified gas suppliers.
If the glycol fluid is not replaced at appropriate intervals, there is a risk of frost damage, corrosion, bacterial growth and/or overheating. If Alde Premium Antifreeze is used, the replacement period can be extended to max. 5 years of normal use.
Initial operation of the heating system CAUTION Never use the system while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicines, and always carefully follow the safety instructions. 4.1. Pre-operation check of the heating system • Check that the glycol mixture is at the right level in the system’s expansion vessel; see Fig. 2. The level should be about one centimetre above the MIN mark in cold systems.
Hot water from the boiler is not intended for drinking or use in food preparation. CAUTION Avoid using the Boost and Autoboost functions in your Alde Compact 3030 Plus when the water heater is empty. The water heater must always be full of water when using Autoboost.
2. Select language. 3. Press the Configure button to go to System Configuration. You can always reach this menu by pressing the menu button on the Alde Control Panel and scrolling until the System Configuration option arrives. 4. If you have a dual zone system, go to the second page in System Configuration and select 2-zone mode.

Dual zone system • If unsure of the zone’s name, blow on the sensor in the zone and then look on the control panel for a zone whose temperature has changed (for example Bedroom), and then select whether a booster is installed in the zone.
Anti-bacteria. The boiler’s automatic bacterial elimination setting is running. High altitude mode. Flashes if high altitude mode is activated. Fig. 9b. Alde AquaClear UV-C*. Shows when the fresh water pump is running and the Status screen, water filter is functioning.
When switching from Off to Auto there is a certain additional warm-up water production, period before the Boost function kicks in. Autoboost requires an electrical output Alde Compact 3030 Plus of 3 kW to function. If only 1 or 2 kW are available, gas must also be activated.
The boiler and Truma AC connected to the Alde system will automatically reduce their consumption when e.g. a toaster or hairdryer is switched on.

How your smart Alde Compact 3030/3030 Plus works Alde Compact 3030 and 3030 Plus are systems used to control the temperature in the vehicle (single- zone system). You can also control the temperature separately in two different zones. A factory- installed dual-zone system is required to control the temperature in two zones.
LPG hoses should be replaced according to the date marking of the hose when they dry out and crack, resulting in possible leakage. For extra safety, we recommend using Alde’s Type 4071 leak tester, installed as closely to the reduction valve as possible.
The glycol mixture must be changed every two years, as properties such as corrosion protection degrade. If Alde Premium Antifreeze is used, the replacement period can be extended to max. 5 years of normal use. 8.3.1 Refill the heating system with Glycol fluid...
It is easiest to air the heating system with the vehicle on a sloping surface, or with one end of the vehicle suspended by a jack. Air the heating system on a slope as described for the single-axle caravan above. Alternatively, the heating system can be aerated with a filling pump at a workshop; contact Alde Service Partner.
12 V supply to the boiler. When the supply is reconnected, gas operation must be reactivated in the control panel. The fault may also be due to a defective spark generator and/or burner; contact Alde Service Partner if the fault persists.
If a fault persists even after disconnecting and reconnecting 12 V to the boiler, please also disconnect 230 V and then 12 V again. Reconnect 230 V and 12 V. If this doesn’t help, contact your dealer or Alde Service Partner.
Try restarting the boiler. • If DuoControl/MonoControl with Crash sensor are installed, check that they have not tripped. If none of the above help, contact Alde Service Partner. Electric heater will not work satisfactorily WARNING Fire/explosion risk A 230 V power supply carries a risk of electrical accidents.
Automatic climate control is not working satisfactorily • There are two heating zones in a dual-zone system, but only one zone for cooling. In this case, set the AC to follow the thermostat in one of the zones. When the AC-controlled zone indicates a need for cooling, heating will be switched off in the other zone.
