N/A
Low Leisure Battery Voltage Warning displayed on control panel
Leisure battery voltage has dropped below 11V (default threshold).
Recharge the leisure battery (via mains hook-up, solar, or the vehicle engine) as soon as possible. Persistent low voltage can indicate a battery nearing the end of its life or an underlying charging fault.
DIY Safe
N/A
Low Vehicle Battery Voltage Warning displayed on control panel
Vehicle (chassis) battery voltage has dropped below 11V (default threshold).
Check the vehicle battery and its charging system. Persistent low voltage can prevent the engine starting and may indicate a battery or alternator fault.
DIY Safe
N/A
High Leisure Battery Voltage Warning displayed on control panel
Leisure battery voltage has risen above 14.5V (default threshold).
Check the charging source (mains charger or solar controller) for a fault causing overcharging - sustained high voltage can damage the battery.
DIY Safe
N/A
High Vehicle Battery Voltage Warning displayed on control panel
Vehicle battery voltage has risen above 14.5V (default threshold).
Check the vehicle's charging system (alternator/regulator) for a fault causing overcharging.
DIY Safe
N/A
High Leisure Battery Current Warning displayed on control panel
Leisure battery current draw has exceeded 20A (default threshold).
Check for an appliance or fault drawing excessive current from the leisure battery.
DIY Safe
N/A
High Vehicle Battery Current Warning displayed on control panel
Vehicle battery current draw has exceeded 20A (default threshold).
Check for an appliance or fault drawing excessive current from the vehicle battery.
DIY Safe
N/A
High Load Current Warning displayed on control panel
Total load current has exceeded 18A (default threshold).
Reduce the number of appliances running simultaneously, or check for a fault causing excessive current draw.
DIY Safe
N/A
High Solar Panel Current Warning displayed on control panel
The solar panel is supplying more than 15A, above the default threshold.
This is often just informational (strong sunlight), but persistent very high readings are worth checking against the solar controller's own rated limits.
DIY Safe
N/A
High Mains Current Warning displayed on control panel
The mains hook-up is supplying more than 16A - above the site's default limit.
Reduce the number of high-draw appliances (e.g. kettle, heater) running on the mains hook-up simultaneously, or check the site supply's own rated capacity.
DIY Safe
N/A
No Communications Warning displayed on control panel
A communication fault has occurred on the control panel's LIN network.
Check the wiring/connections to the control panel. If the warning persists, contact your dealer.
DIY Check / Tech Fallback
N/A
Fuse Blown Warning displayed on control panel
A fuse protecting one of the caravan's circuits has blown.
Locate and replace the blown fuse with one of the correct rating.

Check whether the blown fuse is a standard or a mini blade fuse (mini ones are roughly half the size), then choose the matching kit:

The handbook doesn't say which fuse rating or size is fitted - match the rating printed on the blown fuse. If it's a glass or ceramic cartridge fuse rather than a blade, these kits won't fit.

N/A
FET Overcurrent Warning displayed on control panel
An overcurrent fault has been detected from within the control panel itself.
Contact your dealer or an authorised service centre, as this indicates a fault with the control panel's own output circuitry.
Professional Intervention Required
N/A
Thermistor icon displayed on control panel
A fault has been detected with one of the control panel's temperature sensors.
Contact your dealer or an authorised service centre to check the temperature sensor.
Professional Intervention Required
N/A
Waste Level High Warning displayed on control panel
The waste water tank level has reached 90% or over (default threshold).
Empty the waste water tank.
DIY Safe
N/A
Water Level High Warning displayed on control panel
Despite the icon's name, this actually indicates a LOW fresh water level - it displays when the water level has dropped to 10% or under (default threshold).
Refill the fresh water tank.
