GENERATOR GUIDELINES
Your motorhome can be used with a
generator provided these guidelines are
met:
• Lack of regular servicing can be the
cause of most generator problems,
gensets under 2kW are mainly dependent
on engine speed for output frequency
and voltage. Poor or no servicing may
cause the engine speed governor to run
the genset to fast. Therefore, frequency
and output voltage can rise above the
specification of the machine data plate
i.e. 230V at 50Hz. This may cause
damage to electrical/electronic
equipment (such as battery chargers).
• A generator should always run for a few
minutes prior to connection with the
motorhome electrics, to allow it to warm
up and the output to settle to a steady
level.
• The AC output of generators is often
derived from an AC alternator, rectified
to DC then inverted back to AC. In
essence this means the output sinewave
may not run sophisticated electronics
efficiently. Some of the new wave of
gensets are more sophisticated in their
production of a sinewave output and are
more suited to run electronic equipment.
• If in doubt consult your genset dealer or
manufacturer for advice.

When using the optional remote control unit, please ensure the control panel ‘12v
Power’ switch is in either the Leisure or Vehicle battery (ON) position and the ‘Entry
light’ switch is in the OFF position for correct operation of the remote control (as the
remote control operates in parallel with the control panel switches). The remote
control button [I] controls the Entry Light and button [II] controls the 12v Power.
If you do not wish to use the remote control, or the remote battery is flat / remote has
been lost, you can of course return to manual operation by using the switches on the
control panel. If the power has been turned off using the remote control and then the
remote has been lost / battery become flat you will need to carry out the following to
reset the motorhome: Place the power selector switch in the centre (OFF) position
and turn the charger switch to the OFF position, wait 5 seconds and then turn the
charger and power selector switch back on.
The UH**** number on the back of the remote control is the remote code number.
Please keep a record of this number in case you need to order a replacement or
additional remote control.
This switch is used to display the fresh water level within the
onboard water tank. Press and hold the switch to display the water
level on the gauge.
The gauge indicates the water level on an ‘Empty - 1 ⁄

scale, with empty being on the left.
This Red indicator illuminates when the water level in the
wastewater tank is greater than or equal to 75% full (
