Internat~onal, Argosy Water Tank and Holdrng Tank Gauges Monrtor I1 Control Panel
The water tank, main holding tank and
auxiliary holding tank indicator lights show
the amount of liquid in their respective tanks.
Measurements are made by means of a series
of electror~ically controlled probes located at
various levels in each tank. The gauge lights
will indicate in one of the five positions (see
diagram).
The power-on light will glow automatically
when you are hooked up to city power. This
light and the polarity warning light (See page 89)
are your checks on a proper 1 20 volt
connection.
The "Monitor II" control panel offered as an
option in Caravelle and Minuet models is
located on the galley rooflocker end panel
adjacent to the main door. This panel monitors
your battery, fresh water and waste water
systems. The battery condition gauge is
activated by the "battery" switch and shows
the battery's state of charge. The amount of
fluid in the "Fresh water", "gray" or waste
water and "holding" or-sewage tanks will be
indicated simultaneously when you push the
"test" button. The "pump" switch is used to
turn your water pump on and off.
Accumulation of oxides, dirt, etc. on the probes
may result in inaccurate readings. In this case,
empty the tank, remove probes and scrape
clean. Apply sealant to thread area only and
replace probes. Care must be taken to keep
the probes free of sealant.
The electronic digital clock optional In
Excella II, International, and Argosy models,
operates at all times whether you are on self
contained battery power or hooked up to 120
volt city power.
To operate the clock, push display switch to
ON. To set correct time, push set switch to SET
MINUTES and then to SET HOURS.
To conserve electricity, the display switch may
be turned OFF. (See Fig. 1
)
The correct time is
held in memory until the display is turned back
on. If, when the display is turned back on, the
time shown is incorrect, there has likely been a
power interruption.
After some time you may experience what
appears to be a malfunction in the set switch;
that is, the displays may not turn on at all or
they may "rapid fire." This is caused by dust
on the switch contacts and is easily corrected
by moving the switch back and forth 10-20
times.
