Remote control

Start-up

Before switching on, be sure to check that the camp site has adequate power supply fusing (230 V).
In order to prevent the power cable of the recreational vehicle from overheating (minimum cross-section 3 x 2.5 mm²) the cable drum must be fully unwound.
The remote control must always be pointed at the infrared receiver in order to perform the individual switching commands.
Before switching on for the first time, the remote control must be tuned to the IR receiver.

• Insert batteries (pay attention to polarity)
• Setup symbol flashes (if symbol does not flash, perform Reset)
• Point remote control at IR receiver
• Press Setup button and hold down
• When the red LED on the IR receiver starts to flash, release the Setup button.

The remote control is tuned to the IR receiver, the Setup symbol goes off and the air conditioning system starts in circulated air mode, at low fan level and with no timer set.

Switching on

Switch on the air conditioning system using the "On/Off switch" of the remote control. The last selected settings are taken over.
The circulated air fan runs after switching on. The compressor switches itself on after no more than 3 minutes, and the blue LED flashes.

Temperature

If necessary, use the "Temperature selection buttons" to set the required room temperature with "+" and "–".

Mode

Select the required operating mode by pressing the "MODE" button one or more times.

• Cooling
• Automatic
• Circulated air

When the room temperature that was selected using the remote control is reached in cooling mode, the compressor switches off and the blue LED in the IR receiver goes off. The circulated air fan continues to run in order to provide ventilation. If the room temperature setting is exceeded, the appliance automatically reverts to cooling mode.
If the air humidity in the vehicle is extremely high at the beginning of the cooling procedure, moisture can build up on the underside of the air distributor. The doors and windows should therefore be kept closed and the highest fan level selected.
In automatic mode, the fan level is selected automatically depending on the room temperature.
In circulated air mode, the interior air is recirculated and cleaned by the filters/panels No LED's illuminate in the IR receiver.

Fan

Select the required fan level by pressing the "Fan level" button one or more times.
Fan level (not functional in automatic mode):

• low
• medium
• high

Sleep function

In "Sleep function" the internal and external fans operate at slow speed and are therefore extremely quiet.

Switching off

To switch off, press the "On/Off switch" on the remote control. The remote control and the appliance are switched off.
* The light can still be switched on and off using the "Ambient lighting" button.
* No function in the case of air distributor small
The blue LED flashes when the air conditioning system is switched back on. The circulated air fan runs, and the compressor switches on after no more than 3 minutes.

Time

Press the "Time selection button" and set the current time using the "Time setting" buttons.
The time is always shown on the display (exception with ON/OFF timer).
The time must be reset after changing the batteries or after a daylight saving time change.

Timer ON/OFF

The On/Off time of the air conditioning system can be set in advance for a minimum of 15 minutes to a maximum of 24 hours, starting from the current time, using the integrated timer.
The appliance must be switched on using the remote control in order to program it.

The battery compartment is on the back of the remote control.
When inserting new batteries, make sure the positive/negative terminals are connected correctly.

Empty, used batteries can leak and damage the remote control! Remove the batteries if the remote control is not being used for a long period of time.
No warranty is given for damage caused by leaking batteries.

Maintenance

Maintenance, repairs and cleaning must not be done by children.
Carry out filter changes depending on the amount of use, but at least every 12 months.
On the air distributor small, remove the panels and clean under clear/lukewarm water.
Never operate the air conditioning system without a filter/panels. This can lead to loss of power. Keep the air inlets/outlets and the condensation traps on the roof free of obstructions such as leaves at all times. The air conditioning system should only be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.

Installation dimensions (in mm)

* air distributor small

Clearance around the air conditioning system

The clearance around the external unit must be 20 mm at the front and 50 mm at the side. At least 20 mm of clearance must be left at the rear. Truma recommends clearance of 50 mm so that the exhaust air can blow out freely.

The clearance around the air distributor must allow the air to blow out without obstructions. The side clearance must be at least 40 mm (not in the case of the air distributor small). The pivoting range of flaps and doors must be taken into consideration.

Air inlets/outlets

Condensation traps

The condensation is led away via the roof of the vehicle.

Safety instructions

Only competent and trained persons (experts) may install, repair or perform the function check on the Truma product in accordance with the installation and operating instructions and the currently accepted technical regulations. Experts are persons who, based on their specialist instruction and training, their knowledge and experience with Truma products and the relevant standards, can carry out the necessary work properly and identify potential hazards.
The appliance must be installed in accordance with the national installation regulations.
This appliance may be used by children from 8 years old and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or with a lack of experience and knowledge only if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and understand the resulting risks.
Children must not be allowed to play with the appliance.
To avoid transportation damage, the appliance may only be dispatched if the Truma Service Centre has been consulted beforehand.
When transporting on trailers with lowered drawbars, the openings on the rear side of the air conditioning system must be taped up in order to prevent water from entering.
The power supply must be disconnected from the mains (all poles) before opening the housing.
The appliance fuses and connection cables must only be replaced by experts.
The appliance fuse can be found on the electronic control unit in the appliance and must always be replaced with an identical fuse.
Only original Truma parts, spare parts and accessories may be used.
In particular, the following will render warranty and guarantee claims void and lead to exemption from liability claims:

• Modifications to the appliance (including accessories),
• Using replacement and accessory parts other than original Truma parts,
• Failure to follow the installation and operating instructions.

The appliance's operating permit, and consequently also the vehicle's operating permit in some countries, are also rendered void.
The refrigerant circuit contains R 407C refrigerant and must only be opened in the factory.
The air inlets/outlets at the external unit and the air distributor must not be obstructed under any circumstances. This is essential in order to ensure that your appliance operates correctly.
To prevent damage to the appliance, it should not be operated continuously at an incline of more than 8%.
Do not operate the appliance in cooling mode for long periods with the vehicle at an angle, since the condensation that is produced may not be able to run away and may penetrate the vehicle under unfavourable circumstances.
In order to ensure that the equipment works perfectly and to avoid damage, only power supply sources with a purely sinusoidal waveform (e.g. generator) and without voltage peaks may be used.
Operation of the air conditioning system is only permitted on a primary voltage source.
When the vehicle is being cleaned it must be ensured that no water gets into the appliance when spraying with a high-pressure cleaner, for example (do not spray directly into the openings of the appliance).
Hot cleaners and steam cleaners must not be used.
The condensation traps must be clear at all times during operation.

Notes on using air conditioning systems
You should still check whether the camp site has adequate fuse protection before starting the equipment up:
Aventa compact: min. 4 A
Aventa compact plus: min. 6 A
Park the vehicle in the shade if possible.
Darkening with blinds reduces the amount of heat insolation.
Clean your roof at regular intervals (a dirty roof heats up more than a clean roof).
The vehicle must be properly ventilated before starting the equipment in order to remove accumulated warm air from the vehicle.
In order to obtain a healthy room climate, the difference between the inside and outside temperatures should not be too great. The recirculated air is cleaned and dehumidified during operation. A pleasant room climate is produced by drying the moist air, even with small temperature differences.
Keep all doors and windows closed when in cooling mode so that no condensation forms on the air distributor.
For faster cooling:

• Set fan level to high,
• Set front/rear air distribution to centre position,
• Set floor/ceiling air distribution to ceiling.

The remote control should no longer be used when operating the air conditioning system in conjunction with the Truma CP plus control panel and/or a Truma iNet Box (App).
You can use the Truma App for remote control.
