RV ELECTRONICS Portable Electric Brake Controller

Product Information

Specifications:

• Compatible with RV Electronics Programmable Sender Probes
• Suitable for plastic and metal tanks

Product Usage Instructions

Step 1: Positioning the Water Gauge Display

Choose a suitable position to place the water gauge display where you can feed the wiring loom through the wall cavity or cupboard to the tank sender. Use the provided template to mark out the hole and carefully cut the internal wall, ensuring not to cut into any wall beams, wiring, or plumbing.

Step 2: Wiring and Attachment

Feed the wiring loom through the wall cavity to the senders. Remove the sticky tab backing from the display unit and attach it to the wall.

Step 3: Initial Setup

The RV Electronics display unit reads voltage from each sender and compares it to pre-calibrated empty and full voltages for each tank. By default, the factory pre-programmed settings are for a standard tank height of 180mm with the sender positioned halfway up the tank.

Calibration Procedure (If your installation is different):

Step 1: Single Gauge Example
Drain the water from the tanks you wish to calibrate and remove the front cover of the gauge board by pushing the wings outwards from the center. You will see a 6-position DIP switch and a set button on the front of the gauge board.

Step 2: Setting Empty and Full
For a single tank, use only positions 3 and 4 of the DIP switch (see Fig. 2). Position 3 is used to set EMPTY, and position 4 is used to set FULL.

Step 3: Setting Empty
Slide the DIP switch in position 3 to ON and press the SET button until the 2 bottom LCD needles on the gauge flash. Make sure to return the DIP switch to OFF when done.

Step 4: Setting Full
Fill the water tank to full, slide the DIP switch in position 4 to ON, and press the SET button until the top two LCD needles on the gauge flash. Make sure to return the DIP switch to OFF when done.

If you make a mistake or want to reset a tank to the factory settings, simply slide both the EMPTY and FULL DIP switches to ON for the tank you wish to reset (e.g., DIP position 3 + 4). Press and hold the SET button until all the gauge needles flash ON and OFF.

FAQ:

• Q: What tanks are suitable for use with this water level indicator?
  A: The water level indicator suits both plastic and metal tanks.

• Q: How do I calibrate the water level indicator if my installation is different?
  A: If your installation is different, follow the calibration procedure outlined in the user manual under “Calibration Procedure.”

• Q: How do I reset a tank to the factory settings?
  A: To reset a tank to the factory settings, slide both the EMPTY and FULL DIP switches to ON for the tank you wish to reset and press and hold the SET button until all the gauge needles flash ON and OFF.

PROGRAMMABLE LCD WATER LEVEL INDICATOR

SINGLE TANK-FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE WITH RV ELECTRONICS PROGRAMMABLE SENDER PROBES ONLY. SUITABLE FOR PLASTIC AND METAL TANKS.

• Choose a position to place the water gauge display where it is possible to feed the wiring loom through the wall cavity or cupboard to the tank sender. Mark out the hole using the provided template and carefully cut the internal wall making sure not to cut into any wall beams, wiring or plumbing.
• Feed the wiring loom to the senders through the wall cavity, remove the sticky tab backing from the display unit and attach to the wall.
• The RV Electronics display unit works by reading each sender voltage and comparing it to the pre-calibrated empty and full voltages for each tank.
• Each tank empty and full setting is set by sliding one of the DIP switches to on and by pressing the set button. The factory pre-programmed settings are for the standard tank height of 180mm and the sender positioned halfway up the tank.
• If your installation is different, you will need to follow the tank calibration procedure below

INSTALLATION STEPS

• STEP 1: Single gauge example: Drain the water out of the tanks that you wish to calibrate and remove the front cover by pushing the wings outwards from the center. Once removed you will see a 6-position DIP switch and a set button on the front of the gauge board.
• STEP 2: Single tank has only one plug (center ‘C’ plug on the back in Fig. 1) and only positions 3 and 4 are needed (see Fig. 2). DIP position 3 is used to set EMPTY and DIP position 4 is used to set FULL.
• STEP 3: To set empty, slide the DIP switch in position 3 to ON and press SET button until the 2 bottom LCD needles on the gauge flash. (Make sure you return the DIP switch to OFF when done).
• STEP 4: To set display full, fill the water tank to full, slide the DIP switch in position 4 to ON, and press SET button until the top two LCD needles on the gauge flash. (Make sure you return the DIP switch to off when done).
  If you make a mistake or want to reset a tank to the factory settings, simply slide both the EMPTY and FULL DIP switches to ON for the tank you wish to reset. (eg DIP position 3 + 4) Press and hold SET button until all the gauge needles flash ON and OFF.
