REMEDY:
E. Pads too close together.
F. Pads much too large.
G. Defective panel.
1. Test panel on module tester or replace panel to see if the
same problem occurs.
2.
Empty
the
tanks.
Unplug
the
coach
from
shore
power
(thereby turning off the converter).
If that removes the
problem
disconnect
the
power
wires
and
reconnect
them
directly to the battery.
3. Visually inspect the connector to the panel.
There should
be 4 bare drain wires in the connector.
Drain wires should
not be cut.
Using an ohmmeter check for continuity between the dram
wires and the frame (ground).
Panel should be connected
but do not push the test button.
If there is no continuity
and the panel is
okay the connector is
bad
and the pm
mnnertons
in the connector should be redone.
5. Visually inspect the tanks.
The aluminum foil pads should
not touch each other and should be at least 2 inches apar .
The aluminum foil pads should be no larger than 100 s0u^r^
inches
(sometimes
you
need
more
than
the
recommende
amount,
50
square
inches,
because
the
tanks
are
built
thicker etc., but over 100 square inches is too much).
6. Visually
check
to
see
if
the
proper
colors
of
cable
are
connected to the tanks
(blue to fresh water,
grey
and
a
jumper to each of the holding tanks).
If not it is likely
that
some
unshielded
cable
has
been
spliced
on
and
the
cable must be replaced.
7
Expose the drain wires near the tanks by stripping back the
outer
jacket.
Using
an
ohmmeter
check
the
continuity
between
the
drain
wire
and
the
frame
(ground).
Pan(V
should be connected, but do not push the test switc .
there is no continuity the cable is damaged and must be
replaced.
After completing this test trim the dram wire
and shield back to the outer jacket and wrap a piece of
electrician's tape around there.
8. Trace the cables to see if there are any splices.
If so
replace the cable.
