Fig 20

The vehicle manufacturer installs the CP plus (Fig 20) on an inside wall, cabinet or storage compartment It can be visible or hidden.

Operation

• See separate CP plus control panel operating instructions.

Initial start-up

The following section describes the initial start-up with Saphir remote control. For CP plus or third- party control unit, please refer to the operating instructions of the corresponding control unit.

• Before switching on, ensure that the vehicle is supplied with 120 V AC / 60 Hz protected with an 20 A circuit breaker.

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 paired with the IR receiver.

• Insert batteries (pay attention to polarity).
• Setup symbol flashes (if symbol does not flash, perform reset).
• Point the remote control at at the IR receiver.
• Press the setup button and hold down.
• When the green LED in IR receiver flashes, release the button to pair the remote control with the IR receiver.

The setup symbol goes off and the air conditioning system starts the circulated air mode at low fan level and with no timer set.

Operation

Cooling mode

The air conditioning system ensures cool air inside the vehicle when operated in cooling mode. The circulated air fan continues to run in order to provide ventilation.

The air is dehumidified during cooling If the air humidity in the vehicle is extremely high at the beginning of the cooling procedure, moisture can build up on the outside of the air ducts. The doors and windows should therefore be kept closed and the highest fan level selected.

Heating mode (reverse cycle mode)

Heating mode is used when a room temperature above outside temperature is desired. Saphir heats up the room air using reverse cycle mode. The circulated air fan continues to run in order to provide ventilation If the room temperature drops below the temperature setting, the compressor will automatically start.

Heating at an outside temperature of less than 39°F (4°C) is not recommended because heating performance falls considerably. Between 39°F (4°C) and 45°F (7°C), the device operates at the "low" fan level and switches briefly to defrosting processes (for several minutes). At above 45°F (7°C), there are no restrictions on heating mode. As soon as 54°F (12°C) is reached, the air conditioning system automatically switches to the fan setting selected on the remote control.

In order to achieve interior heating that is as effective as possible at low temperatures, the air conditioning system operates at the "low" level at room temperatures of less than 54°F (12°C). As soon as 54°F (12°C) is reached, the air conditioning system automatically switches to the fan setting selected on the remote control.

Circulated air mode

Circulated air mode only circulates the indoor air without heating or cooling it.

Automatic mode

The automatic mode automatically controls the room temperature by automatically switching between cooling and heating mode. Automatic mode is used when the room temperature can be above or below outside temperature during operation.

ACC mode

The ACC mode automatically controls the room temperature together with the Truma Saphir air conditioning system and a Truma Combi / Truma VarioHeat heater. It is referred to as AUTO mode in the CP plus menu In AUTO mode, the air conditioning system will not be operated in reverse cycle mode (heating).

Notes on using air conditioning systems

• To prevent damage to the device, it should not be operated continuously at an incline or decline of more than 8% (4,5°) in all directions.
• Do not operate the device for long periods with the vehicle at an angle, since the condensation that is produced may not be able to run off and may penetrate the vehicle under unfavourable circumstances.
• The Saphir air conditioning system is configured for current consumption up to 20 A.
• Before switching on, ensure that the vehicle is supplied with 120 V AC / 60 Hz protected with an 20 A circuit breaker
• Park the vehicle in the shade if possible.
• Darkening windows, doors or windshield with shutters or blinds reduces the amount of heat radiation.
• The vehicle should be properly ventilated before starting the equipment in order to remove accumulated warm air from the vehicle.
• When RV skirts or the like are being fitted, please ensure that adequate openings are present for dissipating the supply air. The opening for the warm outgoing air should not be at the inlet side.
• In order to obtain a comfortable room climate, the difference between the inside and outside temperatures should not be too great. The circulated air is cleaned and dried during operation. A pleasant room climate is produced by drying the moist air, even if the temperature difference is minimal.
• Keep all doors and windows closed when in cooling mode If doors or windows are open, condensation could build up on the ducts and cause moisture damage.
• When in the heating mode, use the "high" fan level only for rapid heating. Set to "medium" or "low" during continuous operation.

In order to achieve interior heating that is as effective as possible at low temperatures, the air conditioning system operates at the "low" fan level at ambient room temperatures of less than 54°F (12°C)

Operation with generator or power inverter

The air conditioner can be operated with a power inverter or generator The following specifications are recommended:

• Power inverter type: Pure sine-wave voltage
• Nominal voltage: 110 V - 130 V AC
• Phase: 1
• Frequency: 60 Hz +/- 5 %
• Inrush current capability: 150 ms with 115 V / 40 A RMS
• Loads: ohmic and inductive
• Recommended power: min 2000 W

Truma does not define the size of the generator in recreational vehicles When sizing the generator, the total power consumption of your RV must be considered Generators will lose power at high altitudes and if they are not maintained regularly

NOTICE
The wrong power supply can cause damage to and malfunctions in the air conditioner.
