MONITOR PANEL (Wall Mounted)
At the push of a single button this monitor
panel simultaneously displays the house battery
condition and levels of the water tank, holding
tanks and LP tank. It also contains the water
pump power switch and an indicator light to
show when the pump switch is on.
Water and Holding Tank Levels
Press and hold the "Levels Test" switch to
show approximate level on the monitor lights.
Approximate levels of the fresh water and
holding tanks are measured by sets of electronic
probes in the sides of the tanks. The liquid must
8-10
Hourmeter
be at or above a probe to illuminate the indicator
lights to a given level.
For example, a water level of 1-2" above the
1/3 probe would register as only 1/3 full. Conse-
quently, a level of merely 1" below the 1/3 probe
would register empty. Generally speaking, there
is actually more liquid in a tank than indicated.
Tank Capacities
See back of "To The Owner" page inside
front cover of this manual.
LP Gas Level
Press and hold the "Levels Test" switch to
show approximate LP tank level.
The LP 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.
Water Pump Switch
When use of the self-contained water system
is desired, turn the "Water Pump" switch on. The
"Pump On" light will illuminate when the pump
switch is on and the system is operable. Water
will be available as soon as a faucet is opened.
Refer to "Fresh Water System" for additional
information on the water pump and initial start-
up.
Battery Condition Meter
Push the "Levels Test" button 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.
To get an accurate reading;
1. Both the chassis engine and the auxiliary
generator engine must be shut off.
2. An interior light should be turned on to pro-
vide a small load which draws off the battery
surface charge.
