Trumatic E 2400

Safety instructions

The use of upright gas cylinders from which gas is taken in
the gas phase is mandatory for the operation of gas regula-
tors, gas equipment and gas systems.
Gas cylinders from which gas is taken in the liquid phase (e.g.
for fork lifts) must not be used, since they would result in
damage to the gas system.
If the gas system is leaking or if there is a smell of gas:
– extinguish all naked flames
– do not smoke
– switch off the appliances
– shut off the gas cylinder
– open windows and door
– do not actuate any electrical switches
– have the entire system checked by an expert!
Repairs may only be carried out by an expert!
A new O-ring must always be installed after dismantling the
exhaust duct!
Any modifications to the unit, including accessories, exhaust
duct, and cowl, or the use of spare parts and accessories
that are important to the operation of the system that are not
original Truma parts and failure to follow the installation and
operating instructions will cancel the warranty and indemnify
Truma from any liability claims. It also becomes illegal to use
the appliance, and in some countries this even makes it illegal
to use the vehicle.
The gas supply's operating pressure (30 mbar) must be the
same as the unit's operating pressure (see type plate).
Liquid gas systems must comply with the technical and
administrative regulations of the respective country of use
(e.g. EN 1949 for vehicles or EN ISO 10239 for boats in
Europe). National directives and regulations (e.g. DVGW
worksheet G 607 for vehicles and G 608 for boats in Germany)
must be complied with.
For vehicles for commercial use, the relevant accident preven-
tion regulations issued by the professional associations are to
be respected (BGV D 34).
The inspection of the gas system is to be repeated every
two years by an approved liquid gas specialist (DVFG, TÜV,
DEKRA). This is to be confirmed on the corresponding inspec-
tion certificate (G 607, G 608, or BGG 935).
The vehicle owner is always responsible for arranging
the inspection.
Pressure regulating equipment and hoses must be replaced
with new ones no more than 10 years after the date of
manufacture (every 8 years if used commercially). This is the
responsibility of the operator.
Liquid gas equipment must not be used when refuelling, in
multi-storey car parks, in garages or on ferries.
During the initial operation of a brand new appliance (or after
it has not been used for some time), a slight amount of fumes
and smell may be noticed for a short while. This can be rem-
edied by running the heater at maximum output and ensuring
adequate room ventilation.
If the burner makes an un-usual noise or if the flame lifts off, it
is likely that the regulator is faulty and it is essential to have it
checked.
Heat-sensitive objects such as spray cans or flammable liquids
may not be stored in the same compartment where the heater
is installed because, under certain conditions, this area may
be subject to elevated temperatures.
Only pressure control equipment that complies with EN 12864
(in vehicles) and EN ISO 10239 (for boats) with a fixed delivery
pressure of 30 mbar must be used for the gas system. The
flow rate of the pressure control device must correspond to at
least the maximum consumption of all devices installed by the
system manufacturer.
For vehicles, we recommend Truma's SecuMotion gas
pressure regulator; for the two-cylinder gas system we also
recommend the Truma DuoComfort changeover valve.
At temperatures of around 0° C or less the gas pressure regu-
lator and the changeover valve should be operated using the
EisEx regulator heater.
Controller connecting hoses that meet national regulations
must always be used in the respective country for which the
equipment is destined. These hoses must be checked regu-
larly for brittleness. Winter-proof special hoses must always
be used if the equipment is operated during the winter.
If the pressure regulator is exposed to weather conditions –
especially on trucks – always make sure to protect the regula-
tor using the Truma protective cover (standard accessory in
truck attachment kit).

Important operating notes

If the chimney has been placed near or directly beneath an
opening window, the device must be equipped with an auto-
matic shut-off device in order to prevent operation with the
window open.
The integrity and tight fit of the exhaust gas double duct must
be checked regularly, particularly at the end of long trips. Also
check the mounting of the appliance and the cowl.
Following a blow-back (misfire) always have the exhaust gas
system checked by an expert!
If appliances are assembled on the outside of the vehicle,
regularly check the flexible air ducts for damage. A damaged
duct could lead to exhaust gas entering the vehicle.
Always keep the cowl for conducting exhaust gas and sup-
plying combustion air, free from contamination (slush, leaves
etc.).
The installed temperature limiter shuts off the gas supply if the
appliance becomes too hot. Therefore do not shut the warm
air outlets and the opening for the returning circulating air.
If the electronic control p.c.b. is defective, return it well
packed. If you fail to do so, guarantee claims shall no longer
be valid. Only use original p.c.b. as a spare part!
Directive 2004/78/EC stipulates that a safety shut-off device is
required if motor homes are being heated while driving.
The Truma SecuMotion gas pressure regulator meets this
requirement.
If no safety shut-off device is installed (e.g. the Truma
SecuMotion gas pressure regulator), the gas cylinder
must be closed while driving and information signs must be
attached to the gas cylinder protection box and in the vicinity
of the control panel.
The safety shut-off device is also recommended for safety
reasons if caravans are being heated while driving.
Always use original Truma parts for maintenance and
repair work!
For conducting the exhaust gas under the floor, the vehicle
floor must be sealed tight. There must also be three open
sides beneath the vehicle floor to ensure unhindered escape
of the exhaust gas (snow, aprons etc.).
