General instructions
The Mover® SR was developed to overcome pitches of up to
13 % for a total weight of 2000 kg on suitable ground.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the Mover® cannot
overcome obstructions that are more than about 2 cm in
height without assistance (please use wedges as a ramp).
Due to the nature of a radio signal, it can get corrupted by ex-
ternal terrain or objects. So there may be small areas around
the caravan where the quality of reception reduces, hence the
Mover® may stop momentarily.
When the Mover® is switched off using the remote
control the control unit remains in standby. In order to
switch off completely the battery must be disconnected or
an isolating switch installed.
Batteries
We recommend the use of so-called drive and lighting batteries.
Gel batteries and round cell batteries are also suitable.
These batteries are designed for high power demands and
have an extremely long service life. The maximum power
consumption of the Mover® on the steepest incline and carry-
ing the maximum weight is 120 A. The correct choice of bat-
tery depends on the usage period and the scope of use (other
consumers in caravan). For Mover® operation we recommend
batteries with a capacity of approx. 60 Ah or more.
Example:
A fully charged lead-acid battery with a capacity of 60 Ah al-
lows the Mover® to be operated for approximately 30 minutes
with a full load (depending on weight of caravan, battery type
and terrain). On level terrain the Mover® has average power
consumption of approximately 20 A and therefore an operat-
ing time of approx. 3 hours.
The use of gel batteries or round cell batteries means that
smaller batteries can be used.
Batteries with more capacity allow the equipment to be used
for longer.
For optimum operation, we recommend the Truma
Mover® PowerSet.
Function description
Always observe the operating instructions and "Safety
instructions" prior to starting! The vehicle owner is respon-
sible for correct operation of the appliance.
Note that only single axle caravans are suitable.
The Mover® is a manoeuvring system with which a caravan
can be moved without the assistance of a towing vehicle.
It consists of two separate drive units, each of which has a
12 Volt DC motor. These units are attached to the frame of the
vehicle near the wheels and are connected by lateral bars.
Once the drive rollers have been engaged onto the tyres using
the provided lever, the Mover® is ready for operation. All op-
eration takes place using the remote hand set. This transmits
radio signals to the control unit. A separate 12 V lead-acid
battery or suitable lead-gel battery (not included in scope of
delivery) supplies the control unit with current.
Operating instructions
Remote Handset
a = On / Off slide switch
❙
On (green LED illuminates)
£
Off (green LED goes off)
b = Caravan forwards
(both wheels rotate in
forwards direction)
c = Caravan reverse
(both wheels rotate in
reverse direction)
d = Caravan right forwards
(left wheel rotates in
forwards direction)
e = Caravan left forwards
(right wheel rotates in
forwards direction)
f = Caravan right reverse
(left wheel rotates in reverse direction)
g = Caravan left reverse
(right wheel rotates in reverse direction)
The caravan can be turned in a circle on the spot without
moving forward:
d + g = Turn caravan to the right
(left wheel rotates forwards + right wheel rotates
backwards)
e + f = Turn caravan to the left
(left wheel rotates backwards + right wheel rotates
forwards)
The remote hand set automatically switches itself off after ap-
prox. 2 minutes if no button is pressed, or after 7 minutes if
one of the movement buttons is permanently held down. The
green LED goes off.
To reactivate the remote control, move slide switch to "Off"
❙
and then back to "On"
after approximately 1 second.
There is no "On / Off" switch on the caravan to be operated.
Remote hand set LED flash codes and
acoustic signal
LED "On" and no acoustic signal
System is ready for operation
LED "Off" and no acoustic signal
System off
(check remote hand set batteries if necessary)
LED "flashes" in combination with acoustic signal:
–
for approx. 5 seconds after switching the remote hand set
on, until the system is ready for operation.
–
for approx. 10 seconds after switching the remote hand set
on, then it is switched off again – unable to establish radio
link to controller.
–
every 3 seconds if the caravan battery has a low charge
(finish manoeuvring as quickly as possible and charge
battery).
–
5 times a second (5 Hz) if the caravan battery voltage is
low. No manoeuvring is possible until the battery voltage
is above 11 V again (e.g. by means of recovery / battery
charging).
–
approx. 2 times per second with overcurrent / over-
temperature (2 Hz). Switch remote hand set off and on
again (wait for cooling down if necessary in the event of
overtemperature).
