ELDDIS AUTOQUEST / AVANTGARDE
CONTROL PANEL
The control panel consists of a gauge,
three switches and two indicator lights.
GAUGE
The gauge will normally show the voltage
in the vehicle or auxiliary battery
depending on the position of the
AUX/VEH change over switch. The gauge
can also show the water level in the
inboard water tank (see Water Switch).
SWITCHES
The three switches are;
PUMP
The ‘Pump’ switch acts as a master
switch for the internal water system. When
the switch is on the internal water pump
will provide water for the sink taps.
Should the pump keep cutting in and out
during the night, then turning the pump
switch off will disconnect the 12-volt
supply to the pump.
As the external pump works
independently of the pump switch, this
can still be used with the pump switch in
the off position.
WATER
Pressing and holding the ‘Water’ switch
will cause the gauge to show the water
level in the fresh water tank. Releasing the
switch causes the guage to return to
showing the voltage.
AUX/VEH
When the switch is in the ‘Veh’ position
the motorhome 12-volt system is powered
from the vehicle battery. When it is in the
‘Aux’ position it is powered from the
motorhome’s auxiliary battery or the 12-
volt charger/power supply if the
motorhome is connected to a 230-volt
supply.
It is recommended that the motorhome
be used in the ‘Veh’ position sparingly as
prolonged use without running the engine
can flatten the vehicle battery.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
There are two indicator lights on the
control panel;
RUN
This is the green indicator light. When the
pump switch is on and the pump is
running this light should be on. When the
pump is not running the light should not
be on.
Note: this indicator only works with the
internal pump.
WASTE
This is the red indicator light. When the
onboard waste tank is becoming full and
requires emptying this light will come on.
Once the tank is empty the light will go
out.
