CONTROL PANEL
The control panel consists of a gauge, three
switches and two indicator lights.
GAUGE
The gauge will normally show the voltage in
the vehicle or auxiliary battery depending on
the position of the AUX/VEH change over
switch. The gauge can also show the water
level in the inboard water tank (see Water
Switch).
SWITCHES
The three switches are;
Pump
The ‘Pump’ switch acts as a master switch for
the internal water system. When the switch is
on the internal water pump will provide water
for the sink taps.
Should the pump keep cutting in and out
during the night, then turning the pump switch
off will disconnect the 12-volt supply to the
pump.
As the external pump works independently of
the pump switch, this can still be used with the
pump switch in the off position.
Water
Pressing and holding the ‘Water’ switch will
cause the gauge to show the water level in the
fresh water tank. Releasing the switch causes
the guage to return to showing the voltage.
Aux/Veh
When the switch is in the ‘Veh’ position the
motorhome 12-volt system is powered from
the vehicle battery. When it is in the ‘Aux’
position it is powered from the motorhome’s
auxiliary battery or the 12-volt charger/power
supply if the motorhome is connected to a 230-
volt supply.
It is recommended that the motorhome be
used in the ‘Veh’ position sparingly as
prolonged use without running the engine can
flatten the vehicle battery.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
There are two indicator lights on the control
panel;
Run
This is the green indicator light. When the
pump switch is on and the pump is running
this light should be on. When the pump is not
running the light should not be on.
Note: this indicator only works with the internal
pump.
Waste
This is the red indicator light. When the
onboard waste tank is becoming full and
requires emptying this light will come on. Once
the tank is empty the light will go out.
