MONITOR PANEL:
The monitor panel is located above the side entry door,
(see Picture E-P5). For location of the porch lights switch
see Picture E-P6.
The monitor panel is used to provide the approximate
fluid levels in the fresh, grey and black, (holding) water
tanks, the propane tank, and the charge level of the
auxiliary battery(s).
The monitor panel has a series of L.E.D. lights, that mark
the fluid levels at set increments of F, (full), 2/3, 1/3 and E,
(empty). Therefore with respect to the water tank levels,
you must be aware that the panel does not always reflect
the actual fluid levels. For example, when the 1/3 level light
is on, the tank may be anywhere from 1/3 to just under 2/3
full. When the panel reads empty, the tank may be
anywhere from empty to just under 1/3 full.
The black and grey water tanks must be flushed
regularly with sanitation fluid, to prevent the
accumulation of solids on the probes, to maintain
accurate black and grey water level readings. The
amount of required tank flushing will vary depending on
the amount of usage.
To flush out the holding tanks: Refer to the instructions
on the Waste Tank Dumping, found in the Water Systems
Section.
The auxiliary battery charge level indicator is marked
“C”, “G”, “F”, and “L”.
1. “C” indicates the battery is fully charged
and/or charging.
2. “G” indicates the battery charge is “good”.
3. “F” indicates “fair”.
4. “L” indicates “low”.
The battery condition is indicated by the uppermost
light that is on. For example, if the “G”,”F”, and “L” lights
are on, the battery charge is “good”.
The panel also provides the switch for the water pump
and a disconnect switch for the auxiliary batteries.
