CONNECTION OF SERVICES – The Gas System
butane liquefied petroleum gas. There are
dedicated hoses available for different types of
gas/bottle. They are also available for camping
gas and other mainland Europe LPG suppliers.
Please contact your retailer who will have a
stock of these hoses.
The gas pressure regulation system provides
an even output pressure of 30mbar.
The regulator is a governing device that adapts
the pressure from the gas cylinder to one that
suits the equipment within the motorhome.
Do not use a regulator with a different
!
operating pressure.

The Autograph Range

Your Bailey Autograph motorhome is fitted
with a wall mounted Truma MonoControl CS
safety gas pressure regulator plumbed inside
the gas cylinder compartment.
A high pressure gas hose with integrated
hose rupture protection (HRP) is essential
for connecting the gas cylinder to the gas
pressure regulation system.
crash sensor complies with the Heating
Equipment Directive 2001-56-EC with the
supplements 2004-78-EC and
EC. The crash sensor enables you to use a
liquid gas heater while driving while providing
suitable precautions against an uncontrolled
release due to an accidental disconnection.
The gas system is certified for use throughout
Europe while the vehicle is being driven. It is
important that all gas appliances are turned
off when at a fuel station.
In the event of an accident with deceleration
of 3.5g with a tolerance of 0.5g acting directly
upon the triggering element, the integrated
crash sensor interrupts the flow of gas.

Gas Hoses

A high pressure hose with hose rupture
protection (HRP) is essential for connecting
the gas cylinder to the gas pressure regulation
system. Truma provides the necessary high
pressure hoses with the most commonly
used connection variants for European gas
cylinders.
The pressure regulating devices and
!
hoses must be replaced with new ones
no more than 5 years after their date
of manufacture (every eight years if used
commercially). This is the responsibility of the
operator.
All gas cylinders have unique connections. It is
important to check that you have the correct
hose and/or adaptor to suit your gas cylinder.
Push-on hoses are no longer permitted under
The integrated the latest regulations.
Gas cylinders that are not connected to the
gas installation must be closed off at all times
2006/119/ and provided with protective caps.
It is important that only upright gas cylinders
are used when operating the MonoControl CS
gas pressure regulation system. Gas cylinders
from which gas is extracted in the liquid phase
must not be used, since they would result in
damage to the gas system.

Precautions

Make sure that cooking appliances are
switched off before you move the motorhome.
All gas appliances in your motorhome can
have their gas supply individually isolated by
turning off the relevant tap. The tap is located
either on the centrally positioned gas manifold
or directly beside the appliance.
Some industrial LPG appliances
operate at high pressure and require a
"high pressure" regulator. This often
has an adjusting handle on it. Never
use such a regulator on a motorhome.
• Always ensure that the gas system is
inspected/maintained at least every 12
months.
• In the event of a fire ensure all occupants
evacuate the motorhome via the nearest
escape route.
• If you suspect a gas leak then immediately
turn off the supply of gas at the yellow
isolation tap located below the regulator
in the gas box. Then turn off the gas valve
on the gas cylinders. When this has been
completed the system must be inspected
by a competent person.
• Never use gas cylinders located outside the
motorhome gas box. Do not use any gas
extension hoses.
• Never replace your regulator with one that
does not conform to EN12864 Annex D as
this does not comply with EN1949.
