Systems Monitor Panel
The systems monitor panel incorporates controls and instrumentation concerning the electrical and
fluid systems. Some models also have switches for optional automatic water heaters and generators.
Water Pump Control Switch
This rocker switch controls the on demand water pump. The water pump is pressure sensitive and
starts (with the switch ON) when a faucet is opened, causing pressure in the line to drop. When the
faucet is closed, pressure builds in the line and the pump stops. This switch should be in the off
position for safety when traveling.
Monitor Panel-Levels Indicators Switch
When depressing the monitor switch, indicator lights for the black (waste/toilet), gray (sink/shower),
fresh water tank and battery charging will illuminate, indicating the existing condition of each
component.
Erroneous indications when checking water levels can be caused by:
Water with a low mineral content level is measured by a very low electrical signal traveling through
the liquid. Some water which is low in mineral content, may not conduct the signal properly. Check
the panel reading when the fresh water tank is filled.
Material trapped on the sides of the holding tanks may give a full reading when the tank is actually
empty. Use of the optional “Black Tank Flush” or a spray wand inserted in to the toilet to wash out
the tank following dumping should help prevent this condition.
NOTE:
If the sensor probes mounted in the tanks get coated with grease, the monitor panel may
indicate falsely or not at all. Avoid pouring grease, oils, or similar substances down drains or the
toilet. If this is unavoidable, the holding tank(s) should be washed out with a hot soapy water
solution and re-dump tank.
When testing approximate battery condition, first turn all lights, fans and other 12-volt equipment
OFF. If the battery is being charged the charge light will illuminate when the monitor switch is
depressed. If only a weak light is illuminated, discontinue use of all 12volt equipment until the
battery can be recharged.
