Control panel button legend, page 15 of the CBE PC260-ST manual. This diagram's own numbering restarts at 1 - it is separate from the LCD visualisations diagram below, whose numbering also restarts at 1.
  1. 1 "TEMP/PROG" button to check both internal and external temperature and for system setting (see SETTING).
  2. 2 Button to check the car battery (B1) and the leisure battery (B2) and for the regulation of the programmable parameters' setting (see USER'S SETTING).
  3. 3 Button for the control of fresh water tank (in %), for fresh water refilling function operation (see "FRESH WATER TANK REFILLING" function) and for the regulation of the programmable parameters' setting (see USER'S SETTING).
  4. 4 On/off main button (to turn on/off press for 2 seconds): at the start-up the display carries out a functioning test and shows all symbols (including unused symbols).

Master Troubleshooting & Diagnostics Matrix

Error Code / IndicatorSymptom / MeaningPossible CauseStep-by-Step DIY FixSuggested Actions
Symbol 3 blinking
Car battery alarm
The car (starter) battery's voltage has dropped under 12V
The alarm clears itself once the voltage climbs back over 12.5V.
DIY Safe
Symbol 4 blinking and two short beeps
Leisure battery discharge alarm
Leisure battery voltage gets 10.5V
This alarm also clears itself once the voltage climbs back over 12.5V.
DIY Safe
Symbol 4 blinking and a short beep
Leisure battery reserve alarm
Leisure battery voltage gets 11.5V
Alarms are disactivated with voltage superior to 12.5V.
DIY Safe
Symbol 12
Minimum voltage control (battery protection) activated
The electronic protection device has cut the 12V circuits because the leisure battery has reached 10V
Pressing the on/off button on the control panel gives everything one more minute of power. Everything reconnects automatically once the voltage climbs back above 13.5V, and the control panel itself shuts down completely below 9.5V.
DIY Safe
Symbol 10 blinking (and acoustic signal when engine is off)
Fresh water tank alarm
Fresh water level is lower than 10% of the tank capacity
The alarm clears itself automatically once the level rises back above 20%.
DIY Safe
Symbol 11 blinking (and acoustic signal when engine is off)
Waste water tank alarm
The waste water tank has reached its screw-probe sensor level
The alarm is shown acoustically (when the engine is off) and visually via symbol ref. 11 blinking.
