Question

Hello! I have a Truma s3002 without Auto Ignition, what parts do I need to upgrade in order to get auto Ignition? Thanks!

Answer

This is not simple unless you already have a gas valve with microswitch incorporated. The auto igniter can be easily fitted and connected to the HT ignition cable that goes to the burner. The igniter has two terminals that are connected to the microswitch on the gas valve. When the gas valve is depressed, to allow gas to pass to the burner, the microswitch is 'made' which starts the igniter.
