Control panel button legend, page 17 of the CBE PC380-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 12V button (lights, 12V sockets, electric "SAT" antenna and awning light).
  2. 2 Button to switch the pump on and off.
  3. 3 Awning light button; the awning light switches off automatically when the engine is started (it depends on the 12V button).
  4. 4 Button with integrated twilight sensor to set the intensity of the LED backlighting in a "night" situation (see also the "TWILIGHT" function).
  5. 5 On/off main button (press for 2 seconds to turn on/off): at start-up the display carries out a functioning test and shows all symbols (including unused symbols). If its LED is green the control panel is on; if it is red an alarm is on (batteries, tanks, etc.).
  6. 6 "PROG" button for system setting (see SETTING).
  7. 7 Button for the control of the fresh water tank (in %), for the fresh water refilling function (see "FRESH WATER TANK REFILLING") and for adjusting the programmable parameters (see SETTING).
  8. 8 Button for checking car and leisure battery voltage (in Volts) and for adjusting the programmable parameters (see SETTING).

Master Troubleshooting & Diagnostics Matrix

Error Code / IndicatorSymptom / MeaningPossible CauseStep-by-Step DIY FixSuggested Actions
Symbol ref. 16 blinking
Car battery discharge alarm
The car (starter) battery's voltage has dropped below 12V
The alarm clears itself once the voltage climbs back above 12.5V.
DIY Safe
Symbol ref. 17 starts blinking, short beep
Leisure battery reserve alarm
Leisure battery voltage reaches 11.5V
This alarm also clears itself once the voltage climbs back above 12.5V.
DIY Safe
Symbol ref. 17 starts blinking, two short beeps
Leisure battery discharge alarm
Leisure battery voltage reaches 10.5V
This alarm clears itself once the voltage climbs back above 12.5V.
DIY Safe
Symbol ref. 15
Minimum voltage control (battery protection) device on
Leisure battery reaches 10V (or control panel turns off automatically with voltage lower than 9.5V)
An electronic protection device cuts the 12V circuits (pump, lighting, awning light, stove) once triggered. Pressing the on/off button gives everything one more minute of power, and it all reconnects automatically once the voltage climbs back above 13.5V.
DIY Safe
Symbol ref. 13 blinking, acoustic alarm when engine is off
Fresh water tank alarm
The fresh water tank has dropped below 1% full
The alarm clears itself automatically once the level rises back above 2%.
DIY Safe
Symbol ref. 14 blinking, acoustic alarm when engine is off
Waste water tank alarm
The waste water tank has reached its screw-probe sensor level
Press any of the test buttons on the panel to clear the alarm.
