MONITOR PANELA monitor panel,located on the front closet partition above the passenger lounge seat,is provided to monitor theapproximate fluid levels in the fresh,grey and black water tanks,LP gas tank (Dodge models only),and charge levelin the auxiliary battery.Regarding the water tank levels,be aware that the panel does not always reflect actual fluid levels. For example,when the 1/3 level light is on,the tank may be anywhere from 1/3 to just under 2/3 full. Or when the panel readsempty,the tank may be anywhere from empty to just under 1/3 full.If you do not regularly use a sanitation fluid in your black and grey water tanks,the tanks must be flushedperiodically with sanitation fluid to prevent the accumulation of solids on the probes so as to maintain accurateblack and grey water level readings. To flush:i) If necessary,dump the black and grey water tanks (see E.3.).ii) Add 20 L (5 gallons) of a water and sanitation fluid solution mixed as recommended by the fluidmanufacturer.iii) Drive your vehicle until numerous stops,starts and turns have been achieved.iv) Dump and flush the black and grey water tanks (see E.3.).The auxiliary battery charge level indicator is marked "C","G","F",and "L". "C" indicates the battery is fully charged. "G"means the battery charge is "good","F" indicates "fair",and "L" indicates "low". Note that the battery condition isindicated by the uppermost light that is on. For example,if the "G","F",and "L" lights are on,the battery charge is "Good".The panel also provides the switch from the water pump and a disconnect switch for the auxiliary battery.AUXILIARY BATTERY AND ISOLATORThe auxiliary battery is a deep-cycle maintenance free gel battery. Do not add water. This battery is located at therear driver side below the floor on all models except the 170-Popular where it is on the passenger side. On Dodgemodels,it can be accessed from the rear cargo door by lifting the carpet liner and removing the hatch cover. OnChevrolet models,the auxiliary battery can be accessed from the underside of the vehicle.On Dodge models,the battery isolator is located near the fire wall under the hood. On Chevrolet models,it islocated on the inboard passenger side of the frame below the engine.The auxiliary battery is automatically charged through the isolator by the engine's alternator while the engine isrunning. This battery is also automatically charged by the converter/charger when:i) Your vehicle is connected to an outside electrical power source.ii) The breakers in the converter/charger are in the "ON" position.iii) The battery disconnect switch on the monitor panel is set to the "ON" position prior to connection to anoutside electrical power source.iv) Or while the generator is in operation (if so equipped).A disconnect switch,located on the monitor panel,provides a disconnect for the auxiliary battery from the 12Vsystem while your vehicle is not in use.Since the auxiliary battery is deep-cycle,it may be discharged completely and recharged without damage (whereasthe automotive battery is designed to be kept fully charged by the alternator and may undergo damage if fullydischarged). However,a fully discharged battery should never remain in this dead state and should be rechargedimmediately to prevent damage. When not in use,the auxiliary battery will slowly discharge on its own. Accordingly,if the battery is not being used,it should be recharged every month by connecting to an outside electrical powersource,by operating the generator (if equipped) for at least 12 hours,or by running your vehicle's engine.The isolator is located under the hood in the engine compartment. The isolator allows the alternator to chargeboth the automotive and auxiliary batteries when the engine is running. However,it will prevent your vehicle's 12Vmotorhome equipment (interior lights,water pump,exhaust fans,furnace blower,etc.) from drawing on theautomotive battery (through the auxiliary battery) while the engine is not running.For a further explanation of the operation of the auxiliary battery and isolator,see the owner's manual for theconverter/charger.ELECTRICAL SYSTEMDoc No:MNSA0006 Rev:00Copyright(C) Hanmar Motor Corporation 203 F-2MONITOR PANELA monitor panel,located on the front closet partition above the passenger lounge seat,is provided to monitor theapproximate fluid levels in the fresh,grey and black water tanks,LP gas tank (Dodge models only),and charge levelin the auxiliary battery.Regarding the water tank levels,be aware that the panel does not always reflect actual fluid levels.
