Monitor Panel - Chuck Wheeler - 03-26-2011 06:31

Does any one have a wiring diagram/
schematic of the monitor panel? When we had our accident a while back the
wiring was damaged at the grey water tank. I thought I could figure it
out but get strange results. Fresh water will indicate correctly if the
grey and black are empty. As the grey tank fills up the black and fresh
water follow it. They all indicate the same. The black also creates
some strange problems as it fills up. Propane is OK. I have looked
through the “files” section of the various BB sites and cannot find
any documentation on the monitor panels.

Did you ever get your problem resolved? It sounds like some crossed wiring.

Wayne,

I have a good idea of what it is. I can
measure a ground on the common for the grey tank. The commons are switched to
select the tank you want to measure and all the sensor probes are connected in
parallel so the monitor is always measuring the grey tank plus any other tank
selected. The resulting measurement is the greater of the level in the grey
tank or the selected tank. I started out believing that the sensors were
switched. After helping a buddy with his SOB and looking at a drawing that
Donald Watson found it was pretty obvious once you understood that the commons
were switched and not the sensor probes. I am still going to make a drawing
and schenmatic and will post when done.
