The interior wall-mounted monitor panel can
allow you to monitor the fresh water, grey
water, black water and auxiliary battery levels.
These functions are controlled using the "tact"
switch located on the monitor panel faceplate.
Fig. 8.2 Typical monitor panel
The monitor panel operates on 12-volt DC
power supplied by either the converter or
auxiliary battery. When a tact switch is
pressed, sensors (or probes) installed in the
holding tanks connect to a resistor assembly
(relaying an electronic message to the display
board). No power is drawn from the auxiliary
battery unless a tact switch is pressed ON.
Operation
Press only one “tact” switch at a time. As you
push the “TEST” tact switch, LED lights
illuminate indicating the holding tank content
levels and auxiliary battery condition. The
highest LED light illuminated indicates the
estimated condition.
C = charge at 12.7 volts
G = good at 12.1 volts
F = fair at 11.6 volts
L = low at 6.0 volts.
Pump switch
When the pump switch is ON the water pump
runs until the pump maximum PSI has been
achieved. The red light will stay ON. Turn the
pump switch OFF when the water pump is not
in use.
Heater switch
The heater switch enables propane operation
of the water heater.
Maintenance
The holding tank probes must be kept free
from residue or debris, and the RV in a level
position, for proper read-outs. Monitor panel
read-outs are approximate, and may vary
according to the location of the probe
installations. If routine use of the black tank
rinse does not resolve false read-outs add
some water and a couple bags of ice cubes to
the empty holding tanks. Drive your tow
vehicle and RV around approximately 20
minutes to allow the ice cubes to scrub the
sides of the holding tanks. Use of proper
holding tank chemicals will also help keep the
holding tank probes clean.
Fuses for the monitor panel are typically
located in the load center.

The city water fill is located in the universal
docking center. We recommend that you use
a non-toxic drinking water hose dedicated
only to supplying the RV with fresh water. To
reduce the chance of contamination, prevent
the non-toxic drinking water hose from coming
into contact with the ground. Install the city
water fill inlet cap when the fresh water
connection is not being used. Do not remove
the following label from your RV:
Using a water pressure regulator
(customer supplied) is recommended. Not
using a water regulator when connected to
city water may cause fittings to fail and
cause potential damage to the RV
plumbing system.
