Operating instructions

53
Check that the automatic check valve (N) is
open and is allowing air to enter the heater
when it is being drained, and that the hose (O)
is not blocked.
The Heating Cartridges
All Compact 3010s are tted with two 230V heating
cartridges with a maximum output of 3150 W. Select the
heating cartridge output on the control panel. Always
check that the input fuse of the vehicle has the correct
amperage in relation to the selected output. Note these
ratings are for the boiler only. 1050 W requires a 6 amp
fuse. 2100 W requires a 10 amp fuse. 3150 W requires a
16 amp fuse.
e Circulation Pump
A circulation pump is required to circulate the heated
glycol uid. A 12V circulation pump is tted in the
boiler. Selection of the circulation pump, i.e. switches
it on or off according to the amount of heat required.
For normal operation pump speed 1 or 2 should be used.
Higher pump speeds will cause premature failure. Speed
setting 4 or 5 should only be used for short periods (2-5
minutes) to bleed the system after lling.
System Temperature
The boiler is set to a system temperature of 80°C, i.e.
the temperature of the glycol uid as it circulates in the
heating system.
Air Circulation
In order to achieve the best possible result from the
principle of convected heat, it is important to allow air to
circulate freely under bunks, and behind backrests and
wall-mounted cabinets. It is important that cushions or
blankets do not interrupt the ow of air behind backrests
and wall cabinets.
Maintaining the Heating System
Winter Camping
While camping during the winter, ensure that the ue
is kept clear of snow and ice, since the inlet air to the
LPG boiler enters through the ue. Do not start the LPG
boiler until the ue is completely free of snow.
The LPG System
The LPG system should be checked regularly by a
professional, who will ensure that there are no leaks
from connections or hoses. LPG hoses should be
changed according to national regulations, maximum of
ve years. Check the date stamp on the hose. Hose has
a propensity to dry out and crack. To increase safety,
we recommend tting an Alde leak gauge, type 4071, as
close as possible to the pressure reduction valve.
The Heating System
Regularly check the heating systems’ uid level in the
expansion tank. The level should be about 1cm above the
minimum indicator in a cold tank. The heating system
should be lled with a mixture of water and glycol. For
preference, use high quality ready mixed glycol (with
