Battery Disconnect Switch
While in storage use the battery disconnect switch to help with slowing down the
discharging of the battery.
System Monitor Panel
The systems monitor panel may incorporate controls and instrumentation for the water and
holding tank levels, battery voltage level, water pump switch.
Monitor Panel – Level Indicator Switch
When depressing the monitor switch, indicator lights for the black (waste), grey (sink and
shower), and fresh water, (for drinking and cooking) 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.
Water Pump Control Switch
This rocker switch controls the demand water pump. The water pump is pressure sensitive and starts (with the switch ON) when a
faucet is open, causing pressure in the line to drop. When the faucet is closed, pressure builds in the line and the pump stops.
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. This condition may be infrequent, but can exist. Check the
panel reading when the fresh water tank is filled. Material trapped on the sides of the holding tanks may give a full reading
when the tank is actually empty. Use of a cleaner to wash out the tank following dumping should help prevent this condition.
Camper Fuse Panel (12-volt Interior Circuits)
A 12-volt interior fuse panel is installed below the fridge in the Power Distribution
Center to protect the interior circuits. Circuit titles and fuse sizes are all 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 your
Pleasant Valley Dealer.
Fuses
All the electrical circuits in your camper have fuses to protect them from short or
overload. If something electrical in your camper stops working, the first thing you
should check is for a blown fuse. Determine from the diagram on the fuse panel, which
fuse or fuses control that component. Check those fuses first, but check all fuses before deciding that a blown fuse is not the cause.
Replace any fuses and check the component’s operation.
Do not install fuses with amperage ratings greater than that specified on the label. (Unless you Notify Pleasant Valley and they
indicate it’s safe to do so) Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances of damaging the electrical
system. If you do not have a replacement fuse with the proper rating for the circuit, install one with a lower rating until you can
replace it with the proper rated fuse.
If the replacement fuse of the same rating blows in a short time. Leave the blown fuse in that circuit and have your camper checked by
your
Pleasant Valley
Dealer.
