At the touch of a button this panel will display
the fresh water and holding tank levels, propane
gas tank level, plus the house battery condition.
You can start the generator or turn on the water
pump and water heater. Indicator lights tell you if
the water pump is on or if the water heater pilot
light is out.
Water And Holding Tank Levels
Press and Hold the Levels Test switch to show
approximate level on the monitor lights.
The approximate fluid levels are measured by
electronic sensors on the sides of the tanks. There
is generally more fluid in a tank than indicated on
the monitor panel.
For example, if the fluid level is 1-2” below
the FULL sensor, the monitor will show the level
to be only 2/3 even though the tank is nearly full.
If a tank is about 1/4 full, the monitor will
register an empty tank because the fluid level is
below the 1/3 sensor even though there is still
fluid in the tank.
However, when the indicator reads FULL, the
tank is actually full.

Propane Gas Level
Press and Hold the Levels Test switch to show
approximate propane tank level.
The propane level is registered by a sending
unit on the tank. The gauge mounted on the side
of the tank will give a more accurate indication of
actual tank level if needed.
Battery Charge Meter
Press and Hold the Levels Test switch to
check the level of charge (voltage) in the 12-volt
house battery.
The colored segments (red, yellow, and green)
will light from the bottom up to the amount of
charge the battery contains.
•
Green - good or adequate charge.
•
Yellow - marginal charge.
•
Red - battery needs charging before use.
