d)
Turn on the main disconnect switch on the motorhome
e)
Check the function of the residual current device (RCD) installed in the motorhome by pressing the test button
and switch it on again
In case of doubt or if the supply is not available or faulty after performing the above procedure, contact
the parking space operator.
When ending the connection:
Switch off the main disconnector of the motorhome and remove the cable; at the power supply facility at the parking
space.
Recurring Inspection:
The electrical system of the motorhome should preferably be inspected and checked annually by a competent electri-
cian who should issue a report on the condition if the motorhome is used frequently.

4.2 Electrical supply - control panel
This control centre is a real on-board control. You can use the control panel to read off the fresh water and waste water
level, the state of charge of the main body and starter battery, the power consumption in the main body and the status
of the solar panels (option).
The CBE PC380 control panel with 12V main switch (button 5) is installed in all motorhomes.
Button 1 activates the light functions
Button 2 activates the water pump
Button 3 activates the heating of the gas pressure regulator (option)
Button 4 activates the optional multimedia functions (radio, TV, subwoofer)
Button 6 activates the programming mode
Button 7 displays the tank levels
Button 8 shows the charge status of the batteries
The flashing of the display indicates that the body battery must be recharged.
Multimedia functions:
these can be activated either by pressing Button 4 or automatically by switching on the ignition or starting the engine.
For more detailed information on the control panel, please refer to the operating instructions from the company CBE
which are supplied. (For operation of the two additional control panels for the Titan package and Platin package, see
Chapter 4.6 or 4.7)
Water pump:
The water pump should only be switched on when the motorhome is occupied and the water supply
is full. This can prevent the pump from running dry or your storage space or double floor filling up with
water due to a small leak.
You have switched on the water pump, but have no water consumption means that all taps are closed. If the pump turns
on from time to time, it can be an indication that you have a leak in the water pipe. Immediately switch off the pump
and examine the pipes, thus preventing “flooding” in the storage compartments. To do so, it is also possible to provide
the water pump with an electronic timeout. Here the water pump is then automatically deactivated after the set time
(see CBE operating instructions, chapter “Customer programming”) if a water flow is measured beyond the set time. The
internal meter is reset here simply by closing and opening the tap used again. The timeout could also be used to reduce
your own water consumption. (e.g. showering too long)
The water distribution (usually located directly next to the fresh water tank) is a direct connection between the pump
and the tapping point (water tap). In the event of a leak, you can isolate the damaged pipe from the water supply with a
blanking plug, so you can continue to use the other taps. We recommend that you check the hot water supply for leaks
or tighten the hose clips every 6 months.
Fresh and waste water display:
The CBE PC380 control panel shows the fill level of the fresh water tank in 1% steps and that of the waste water tank in 10% steps.
The display shows, for example:

Fresh water tank Tank capacity (l)
Waste water tank Tank capacity (l)

approx. 150
approx. 120

The tank volumes can vary depending on the layout. For more detailed information on the control panel, please refer to
the operating instructions from the company CBE which are supplied.
