Intended use

MonoControl CS is a safety gas pressure regulation system
for caravans and motor homes. The gas tank version is for
direct connection to the extraction valve with a male thread
W 21.8 x 1/14" LH (G.5). The gas pressure regulation system
provides a uniform output pressure of 30 mbar or 50 mbar
(depending on the variant) with a permissible admission pres-
sure of 0.3 – 16 bar.
In the event of an accident with deceleration of 3.5 g ± 0.5 g *
acting directly upon the triggering element, the integrated
crash sensor interrupts the flow of gas.
The use of the gas pressure regulation system is not permit-
ted in confined spaces (households, caravan holiday homes),
on seagoing boats or in explosion protection zone 0 (e.g.
tankers).
The integrated overpressure safety device complies with the
requirements for a commercial safety device against exces-
sively high pressure increases (for example, in Germany
according to BGV D 34).
The pressure regulating devices and hoses must be re-
placed with new ones no more than 10 years after their
date of manufacture (every 8 years if used commercially). This
is the responsibility of the operator.
* With an average vehicle weight, this corresponds to a colli-
sion speed of approx. 15 – 20 km/h with a fixed obstruction.
Notes on heating while driving:
With motor homes as of construction year 01/2007, in accord-
ance with the heating equipment directive 2001/56/EC with
annexes 2004/78/EC and 2006/119/EC for the operation of a
liquid gas heater while driving, a safety shut-off device must
be provided that prevents gas from inadvertently escaping if a
line breaks in the event of an accident.
The Truma MonoControl CS gas tank gas pressure regulation
system with integrated crash sensor complies with all of the
relevant standards, regulations and directives and therefore
allows the gas system to be used throughout Europe, also
while driving.
We also recommend the use of a safety device for heating
while driving in caravans.
For vehicles manufactured before 01/2007 there are no restric-
tions for operating the gas system while driving **.
** Exception for France:
In France the operation of a gas system while driving is only
permitted in type-tested vehicles with initial registration as of
01.01.2007. In older vehicles the operation of the gas system
while driving is also non-permissible in combination with a
safety shut-off device.
