INTERIOR LIGHTING
The interior lighting operates on 12-volt DC power only. When connected to a 110-volt source, the power
converter transforms 110-volts to 12-volts. However, when not connected to 110-volts, the entire load of lights,
water pump, exhaust fans, etc., is on your 12-volt battery. Use conservatively to minimize battery discharging.
CAUTION
:
Some of the lighting fixtures may be equipped with halogen bulbs. The bulbs and fixtures
may get very hot when they are on. Do not touch these lighting fixtures when they are on. Allow them to
cool before attempting to replace a bulb or to clean. Replace all light bulbs with the same type and
wattage as originally installed or as indicated on the fixture.
SYSTEMS MONITOR PANEL (OPTION)
The systems monitor panel allows monitoring of fresh water, gray water, black water and battery levels. All
functions are controlled from one test switch for easy operation. All panels also have a lighted switch to control
the water pump.
LEVEL INDICATOR SWITCH
When depressing the monitor switch, indicator lights for the black (waste), gray (sink) and fresh water tank
will illuminate, indicating the existing condition of each component. The battery level is a digital display that
reflects the battery voltage when the switch is depressed. Erroneous indications when checking water levels
can be caused by water with low mineral content. Level is measured by a very low electrical signal traveling
through the liquid. Some water that is low in mineral content may not conduct the signal properly.
SOLAR PANEL (OPTION)
The solar panel is mounted on the roof. Inside the cabinet next to the galley cabinet a voltage regulator is
mounted. The panel wires terminate at the battery disconnect relay located inside the battery box compartment.
The 12ga blue (+) wire is fused with a 10-amp fuse and connected to the 30-amp circuit breaker. The 12ga
white (-) wire terminates at the battery negative (-) post. The solar panel is designed to “trickle charge” your
battery system. It is not intended to be a fast charger. It also cannot supply large amounts of current to operate
12-volt DC electrical equipment.
NOTE:
Weather conditions will affect the charging rate of the solar panel. Refer to the solar panel
manual supplied in your Owner’s Information Package. Titles and fuse sizes are marked inside the
removable access door. If a fuse blows, locate and correct the cause. Turn off all lights and motors, and
then install a fuse with the same rating. If fuses continue to blow, a short circuit is indicated. Have the
system checked by authorized technician.
