Water Pump

This switch turns on power to the internal water pump ready for use. It can be used to turn off the pump over night to avoid any noise from the pump.

NOTE: A green indicator lamp will illuminate within the bottom left corner of the battery gauge when the pump motor is running.

Battery Level Test

This switch is used to display the battery voltage level.  Press and hold the switch to display the battery level on the gauge.

The green region indicates a battery with a good charge, the yellow region indicates a battery with an adequate charge, and the red region indicates a battery that requires charging.

Water Level Test

This switch is used to display the fresh water level within the onboard water tank.  Press and hold the switch to display the water level on the gauge.

The gauge indicates the water level on an ‘Empty - ¼ - ½ - ¾ - Full’ scale, with empty being on the left.

Waste Level Indicator 3/4 Full
This Red indicator illuminates when the water level in the waste water tank is greater than or equal to 75% full.

Waste Level Indicator 1/2 Full
This Amber indicator illuminates when the water level in the waste water tank is greater than or equal to 50% full.

Optional Remote Control Unit
When using the optional remote control unit, please ensure the control panel ‘12v Power’ switch is in either the Leisure or Vehicle battery (ON) position and the ‘Entry light’ switch is in the OFF position for correct operation of the remote control (as the remote control operates in parallel with the control panel switches). The remote control button [I] controls the Entry Light and button [II] controls the 12v Power. 
If you do not wish to use the remote control, or the remote battery is flat / remote has been lost, you can of course return to manual operation by using the switches on the control panel. If the power has been turned off using the remote control and then the remote has been lost / battery become flat you will need to carry out the following to reset the motorhome: Place the power selector switch in the centre (OFF) position and turn the charger switch to the OFF position, wait 5 seconds and then turn the charger & power selector switch back on. 
The UH**** number on the back of the remote control is the remote code number. Please keep a record of this number in case you need to order a replacement or additional remote control.
