Further technical information is available at www. For future reference it may be useful to note your alarm system serial number below, which can be found on the sticker attached to the alarm system base unit.
Tank types Water System Plumbing troubleshooting This pump draws water from an external source, to provide water pressure within the caravan, whenever it is switched on and water is available. The schematic below shows the basic configuration of the water system with inboard pump and no internal water tank:.
When power is supplied to the pump, it will draw water from the external container through the water inlet mounted on the side of the caravan, and pump it to the caravan taps, shower and water heater. The pump is fitted with its own pressure switch, and the pump will continue to pump water, until the pressure of water on the output of the pump reaches a pre-set level.
For this pressure to be achieved, the taps must be closed. When the taps are opened, water will leave the tap via the spout, and the pressure in the pipes between the pump and the taps will reduce. Because of this reduction in pressure, the pressure switch on the pump will switch back on and the pump will again run to pump more water.
Close to the pump, the water under pressure is split into two paths: 1. Through blue water pipes routed directly to the cold connection of each tap. To the water heater. Water from the pump enters the bottom of the water heater. Once the water fills the water heater typically 10 litres , water then leaves the water heater via a connection at the top of that water heater. This water, which is still under pressure, then routes to the hot connection of each tap via red pipes.
No Internal Water Tank A caravan water system with no internal water tank functions in the following way:. The inboard pump draws water into the caravan, via the inlet on the offside of the caravan. This is directed to the water heater, taps and shower. An umbilical hose, with baffle, is supplied with the caravan to connect between the inlet and an aquaroll or similar external container.
Water will flow through the open tap after a short time. This tap can then be moved to the cold position and again after a short time water will flow. Plumbing Connections In most cases, speed fittings are used, which allow easy and quick connection of water pipes.
To connect a pipe to a fitting, simply push the pipe into the connector. To remove the pipe, push the collar of the fitting inwards, and then withdraw the pipe. The amount of water within the internal tank can be checked by looking at the water level gauge on the control panel. Refill the external container if required. To remove a pipe, push the collar inwards, and then remove the pipe.
As a note, when refitting the pipe, ensure the end of the pipe is round not oval and the cut is square. If not, it could lead to water leaks. If not, refer to your dealer as there maybe damaged cabling or a fault with the fusebox. Was it correctly winterised? If no, the pump may have frozen, causing permanent damage.
See page 54 on how to do this. Pump runs, but will not pressurise system i. See Section page 54 for information on how to do this. The sensor, fitted to Swift Group caravans are pre-fitted to water tanks, and link to the fusebox, via a pre-fitted wiring harness. The sensors, which consist of a number of stainless steel rods or probes, at different lengths, are immersed in the fresh water, and use the conductivity of water, between the probes, to provide a reading to the fusebox.
Normally, even if the rods are dirty, and providing the rods have not bridged by a foreign object, a circuit will still be delivered back to the fusebox and a water level displayed. Sensor cleaning The first step, in case of fault diagnosis, is to clean the sensor rods. False water level reading at the control panel can be caused by calcium build up or foreign objects within the tank bridging the probes.
Sensor Cleaning Instructions Cleaning recommendations for lime scale build up: 1. Remove sensor from tank. Check probes for build up or contamination. Use clean soapy water. Place scourer in water and dampen. Apply scourer to sensor probe with limited pressure. Rub sensor probe removing contamination. Swill sensor with fresh clean water.
Replace probe into tank. Usage: Used for cleaning steel utensils, dishes, pots, pans, ovens, Bar-B-Que grills, glass, cutlery,sinks, kitchen and bathroom tiles and tubs etc. Water pump pressure switch The purpose of a pressure switch is to monitor the pressure on the outlet side of the pump. When a tap is closed, and the pump continues to run, there is an increase of pressure in the system, and when that pressure reaches a pre-set limit, the pressure switch will turn the pump off.
To remove, pull the lower trigger and pull out the hose plug. Please ensure that the lid is properly closed before driving! Routine maintenance Pressure switch adjusting screw. Ensure that the O-ring seal on the hose plug and the socket are free from dirt. To aid fitting of the plug assembly smear the O-ring with vegetable oil.
Raise the lid, clean both the water socket and the plug of the Intake Assembly. Plug the intake connector into the socket. Clean the water system at the start and end of the season with sterilising fluid see notes under sanitising on the following page.
System care Allowing water to freeze in the system may result in damage to the pump and plumbing system. Place the assembly into the water container, ensuring that it is fully submerged before operating the system. The Dust cover is to stop contaminates falling into the water container. When water is first introduced, or the water supply in the internal tank, or aquaroll, runs out, air will be present in the pipework. It is important that every tap is run to remove any air in the system before, for instance, the shower is used.
Air left in pipework local to a tap can act as an accumulator and affect the ratio of hot and cold water flowing from other taps or shower mixers in the system. If the pump fails to deliver water the most likely cause will be air in the system. Switch off the pump and shake the pump assembly in the external water container. Then switch on again. Non-Toxic antifreeze for potable water may be used with Truma pumps.
Follow manufacturers recommendations. These solutions are highly toxic and may cause serious injury or death if ingested. The water systems, and in particular water tanks, in caravans are susceptible to contamination by bacteria if care is not taken with their use and cleaning.
The symptoms caused by bacterial contamination are not purely limited to gastro-intestinal diseases, but may also manifest themselves as ear, nose, throat, eye or skin infections. It is therefore important that you carry out the following procedure prior to using the caravan each time, even if you boil or filter all water you use for drinking.
All water remaining in the container should be disposed of so that the container is empty. The outside of the container should be thoroughly cleansed and washed down to remove any dirt, dust or other contaminant. Water at a suitably hot temperature containing an appropriate detergent is recommended for this purpose.
Water should be put in the container, swirled around, then emptied out. The container should then be totally filled with water containing an appropriate sterilant solution and allowed to stand for the recommended contact time e. Milton for 15 minutes. The solution should be emptied from the container. The opening of the container should be cleaned thoroughly with an appropriate prepared wipe impregnated with a sterilant.
The container should be inverted whilst stored overnight if possible. The container must be filled with mains water only and mains water only should be used for the above cleaning procedure. On no account should garden hoses be used to fill water tanks. Allow to stand for the recommended period of time. Drain the system completely. Replace the filter. Suitable sterilising chemicals are available from your caravan dealer, accessory shop, chemist or home-brew shops.
It is not, however, recommended to use bleach or sodium metabisulphite. Note: Depending on the caravan model, the gas isolation tap for the water heater maybe located close to the appliance.
Make sure that heating and cooking appliances and the gas cylinders are switched off before you move the caravan. Regularly check flexible gas hose, joints and connections for tightness. Finally make sure that each gas appliance is working efficiently to the recommendations of the appliance manufacturers. Only use gas bottle cylinders that are located within their dedicated position within the front gas bottle housing, never extend hose - hose lengths must not exceed mm.
Gas Hoses A high pressure hose must be used with the regulator to connect to the gas bottle. LPG cylinders i. Propane, Butane and Camping Gaz cylinders all have varying cylinder adaptor connections. It is important to check you have the correct hose and adaptor to suit your gas cylinders. Push on hoses are no longer permitted under the new regulations, The new high-pressure hoses have threaded connections and must be securely attached to the regulator and to the gas cylinder.
Ensure that there is a constant rise in the flexible gas hose between the gas cylinder outlet and the regulator elbow. WARNING: Inspect flexible gas hose s regularly for deterioration and renew as necessary with the approved type, in any case no later than 5 years after the date of manufacture marked on the hose.
Cylinder compartment All cylinder compartments have two universal plastic mouldings fitted to the floor of the compartment that are designed to fit both steel Your caravan is supplied with a wall mounted gas regulator plumbed inside the gas cylinder compartment.
The regulator and all appliances work at a harmonised 30mb pressure, which work with Butane and Propane gas. Pressure regulation system in this vehicle has a fixed working pressure of 30 mbar with a flow rate of 1. Open cylinder valve 2. Firmly press the hose rupture protection green button on the high pressure hose. If necessary eg. The DuoControl combines the gas pressure regulator and the changeover valve in one unit for operation as a two-cylinder system.
When the operating cylinder is empty, DuoControl automatically changes over to the reserve cylinder. The LPG system should be inspected by a competent person. Only use gas cylinders that are located within their dedicated position within the gas bottle housing, never extend the hose - hose lengths must not exceed mm. Fig 1 shows the two safety valves features that are part of the system, these are there for your safety whilst using the system when travelling.
When in use ensure all other gas appliances are separately isolated. Scandinavian countries use the same connector. Germany and Austria supply propane with a male connection. Butane Butane is supplied in the U. All these have a male left hand thread EXCEPT for Camping Gaz which has a special female right hand thread and Calor 7kg and 15kg and aluminium cylinders which have a special clip-on connection.
Continental cylinders usually have a male left hand thread similar to but not identical with U. If you smell gas or suspect a leak or in the event of a fire and if it is safe to do so, isolate the gas appliances and turn off the gas bottles at the regulator.
Evacuate the caravan and ventilate. Seek professional advice as to the cause of the leak. Awning Spaces LPG Appliance Exhaust There is no danger of pollution of an enclosed awning space by the LPG exhaust from a refrigerator venting into it, as awning spaces are generally well ventilated. Space heaters may produce sufficient exhaust to pollute the awning space, if it is totally enclosed, from a general comfort, smell and hygiene point of view.
In the extreme case there could be a build up of carbon dioxide to a dangerous level. Caravan owners are advised to allow some fresh air circulation in the awning space when such appliances are in use.
Precautions a. Never look for a leak with a match. Always use a soap solution or its equivalent when testing connections. Do not operate any electrical apparatus whatsoever, especially light switches. If the leak is not obvious, the caravan should be evacuated and qualified personnel consulted. Avoid naked lights when connecting or changing a cylinder. Check the flexible hose frequently. The gas is heavier than air and therefore sinks to the lowest point.
Keep bottle gas containers outside and protected against frost. If they must be kept inside make sure they are well away from heat. Note: the external barbecue point is fed from the main feed through a built in integrated isolation valve. See schematic layout for details page Ensure that the gas regulator hose is correctly connected to the gas cylinder in gas bottle compartment and that the hose connection is tight.
All ventilation complies with BS EN and vents should not be obstructed in any manner as this could lead to insufficient fresh air.
In this case the confined atmosphere becomes depleted of oxygen which could lead to dangerous levels of carbon dioxide CO2 build up leading to risk of asphyxiation. Gas bottles must be fully located, seated at the base of the bottles and restrained by the strap provided in the dedicated compartment position.
Straps are positioned to suit 6kg Calor Lite cylinders. WARNING: If using cylinders other than those recommended, the user must ensure these are adequately supported, ventilation openings must not be obstructed and the cylinders must not cause damage to other fixtures and fittings located in the compartment.
Open ended gas hoses must always be protected from dirt and insects. Before turning on the gas supply at the regulator, ensure that all gas operated equipment in the caravan is turned off.
The risks of carbon monoxide CO build up, which is a colourless, odorless and tasteless gas, will also be reduced with ventilation. Carbon monoxide is produced from incomplete combustion and should the CO detector be activated the cause of the incomplete combustion must be investigated prior to reusing the appliance in question. Roof-mounted Flue installations All flue installations should be inspected once a year throughout their length for corrosion.
Flues should be replaced if any sign of perforation is found. Ensure that the replacement is of an approved type. Thermal insulation heating. All gas equipment except barbecue and some water heaters is supplied through a central Gas Manifold System which has individual isolation taps for each appliance Fig A , as follows:.
Your caravan has been designed and manufactured to a grade 3 thermal insulation and heating level for specific climatic conditions and tested according to the procedure in EN The classifications are as follows:.
A caravan with an average thermal transmittance u that does not exceed 1. Check level of gas in cylinder Check gas cylinder valve is on Check gas taps are on Check exhaust outlet is clear. Turn off appliance, wait 2 minutes and try again Purge system Refer to space heater or boiler manufacturers instructions.
General Information It is strongly advised that the mains installation is inspected periodically to ensure safe use. The IET BS wiring regulations recommend that mains installations in touring caravans are re-inspected every 3 years. There is a test button on the RCD to test the lever, put the lever in the up position on before testing.
Switch all to the on position lever up. If any do not stay up then there is a fault. This will ensure that the inner and outer parts of the plug are returned to a locked condition.
If this situation does occur then it can be corrected by entering the edge of the protrusion on the plug into the groove in the socket fig 8 and rotating the plug body anticlockwise until a click is felt. The outer body can then rotated a full Note: It is possible that the v mains electrical equipment may not all operate simultaneously. A typical UK site mains hook up point provides a maximum output of 10 amps and on some continental sites the available output may be as low as 5 amps.
If your loading exceeds the site supply it may trip the site circuit breaker. Please check the available mains supply with your site operator. Similarly loadings on each circuit breaker within the caravan should be observed. Consulting the typical appliance consumption figures table in conjunction with this label, will give an indication of which appliances can, and cannot, site supply allowing , be operated simultaneously.
Plug inner ring containing male pin terminals fitted to the caravan Plug outer body with locating groove and hood fitted to the caravan Fig. When in use it must be fully uncoiled and protected from traffic. Note: These are approximate figures for guidance only, and are subject to changes in specification. The figures show energy consumption when an item or appliance is operating - ie. Appliances which feature LCD or illuminated control panels can have a low current consumption when in stand by mode, or have a constant low current draw in the background to run their displays and electronic systems - these figures are typically 0.
These electronic items can in most cases are switched off individually, or, use of the System Shutdown button on the power supply unit isolates all of these items. Control Panel Operation Leisure Battery Introduction This section of the handbook will guide you through the operation of the electrical system.
Further technical details are contained in section 3 from www. The operation of each model is very similar and is detailed below. For the safe operation of all electrical equipment within your Leisure Vehicle it is important that you read and fully understand these instructions. This panel uses simple straightforward controls and reliable data communication to the PSU. The unit houses fuses for the road lighting circuits and supplies from the tow vehicle, and also has connectors for the optional alarm system and Automatic Trailer Control ATC unit.

Fuse number 1 is top left; Fuse number 14 is bottom, right. See section 3. This allows the leisure electronics to be turned off when not required to save battery power.
When in the off state the alarm and tracking system supplies are still active, most other supplies are turned off. Check Miniature Circuit Breakers. This section assumes that the system is complete and that a Leisure battery has been installed see 3. The charger switch will illuminate when turned on. E nsure suitability of the Mains Supply. Your Leisure Vehicle should only be connected to an approved supply that meets the requirements of BS or relevant harmonised standards.
In most cases the site warden will hold information regarding suitability of supply. Please note that some electronic generators may not be compatible with your leisure system. Further generator operational information is contained elsewhere in this manual. Check correct Polarity. If the indicator is illuminated see section 3.
Before using the system please ensure the shutdown switch is in the system on position button in. C onnect the Hook-up Lead. Firstly connect the supplied hook-up lead orange cable with blue connectors to the Leisure Vehicle and then connect to the mains supply. Check Residual Current Device operation. Switch the RCD back to the on position lever in up position.
If the test button failed to operate the RCD see section 3. Check operation of equipment. It is now safe to operate the 12v and v equipment. Not all features are present in all vehicles. Please refer to the following diagrams to identify your control panel. Press the power button to turn the leisure power on. Press the button again to turn the power off. The adjacent LED will illuminate when the power is on, and also the voltage of the selected battery will be displayed on the voltage gauge.
With the power on, press the pump button to turn the water pump on. Press the button again to turn the pump off. The adjacent LED will illuminate when the pump is on, and also the level of the water tank will be displayed on the water gauge.
To display the battery voltage levels and the water tank levels on the control panel gauges, press the levels button. The display will remain illuminated for 10 seconds. This can be achieved by pressing and holding the view. To turn this locked feature off, either press and hold the view levels button again for seconds or turn the power off and back on. By default, the leisure battery is selected as the power source if no mains supply is present, or as the battery to be charged when the mains supply is available.
To change the selected battery, press the vehicle battery select button. The selected battery is indicated by an LED adjacent to the caravan or car logo. For some caravans, with the power on, press the tank fill button to turn the external filler pump on or off. Please ensure you switch the fill button off when the external tank is empty to prevent damage to the pump. This will ensure the electronic system is active and will therefore be able to control the charging process, supply the refrigerator and monitor other system circuits.
System Technical Information The following section provides further technical information relating to the electrical system. You can also access the supporting technical manual from www. The RCD will turn off trip if the current flowing in the live conductor does not fully return down the neutral conductor, i. To ensure the RCD is working correctly, the test button should be operated each time the vehicle is connected to the mains supply see section 2.
If an overload occurs the MCB will switch off the supply. If this occurs you should investigate the cause of the fault before switching the MCB back on. During stage 1 the battery voltage is increased gradually while the current is limited to start the charging process and protect the battery. At stage 2 the voltage rises to When the battery is charged, the voltage is decreased at stage 3 to The charger can be left switched on continuously as required.
This module supplies DC to the leisure equipment up to a maximum of 25 Amps Watts , therefore the available power is distributed between the leisure load and the battery, with the leisure load taking priority as per the following example: Lesiure Load. A normal car battery is NOT suitable. This battery should always be connected when the system is in use.
The PSU is configured to work with standard lead acid leisure batteries, and in most cases is also compatible with the latest range of Absorbed Glass Matt AGM batteries.
Before fitting non-standard batteries please check that the charging profile described in 3. The battery feed is fitted with an inline fuse between the battery and the electrical harness, and is usually located immediately outside the battery compartment or within mm of the battery. The maximum rating of this fuse is 20A per battery. Crocodile clips must not be used. Take care to prevent flames and sparks in the vicinity of the battery and do not smoke.
Switch off all appliances and lamps before connecting or disconnecting the leisure battery. Please see instructions supplied with the battery. Note: Do not over discharge the battery. One of the most common causes of battery failure is when the battery is discharged below the recommended level of approximately 10v.
Discharging a battery below this figure can cause permanent damage to one or more of the cells within the battery. However, customers should note that some items may have limited functionality when the battery is in a lower voltage state i. The Swift Group makes every effort when specifying components to operate at low voltages, but is not responsible if a component fails to work at lower voltages. Components that are typically affected by low battery voltage include, but are not limited to, the pump, the radio and some lights which require higher voltages for start-up.
To prevent over discharge, the EC system incorporates a battery protect circuit that warns the users and then disconnects the batteries when they fall below set values. If the power is turned on and the leisure battery level falls below 9V a warning beep will be heard and the leisure battery gauge 10V LED will flash.
To cancel the warning, press the levels button. If the power is turned on and the vehicle battery level falls below These warnings will not be repeated unless the power switch is turned off and on again. This is to ensure the warning does not become a nuisance. Battery selection is changed from Vehicle battery to Leisure battery. If the leisure battery is below 9v then a further warning will occur see below. This cut off level is designed to protect the vehicle battery from over discharge.
The This cut off only applies to power drawn from the battery by the leisure equipment; it will not protect the battery if you leave vehicle circuits switched on, such as the road lights. This is an emergency cut off level to protect the battery from severe damage. You should not rely on this cut off level during normal operation, but manage your power consumption to a discharge level of 10v.
This cut off only applies to power drawn from the battery by the leisure equipment that is controlled by the control panel power switch; it will not protect the battery from discharge by permanently connected equipment.
Please investigate the fault and contact your dealer. Using poor quality imitations can be dangerous. The following table shows the fuse allocation for the 15 fuses fitted to the PSU. Please note that fuses are dependant on PSU versions, so not all fuses may be present. The following table shows details of the fuse s located at the Road Light fuse box, on the front wall inside the front bed.
Fridge Supply 12V. Both buttons work on a continuous loop, so if you want to return to an item or setting keep pressing the button until the required item is reached. These warnings will not be repeated unless the water pump power switch is turned off and on again. The control panel pump button operates the internal onboard water pump.
This pump will draw water from the internal onboard water tank if fitted or the external water inlet, depending on the position of the manual supply selector valve.
The system also incorporates a separate powered water inlet that can be used with an external filler pump to fill the internal onboard water tank if fitted. This is to warn you to remove the v supply before driving away. Low voltage warning and cut off, if the power is turned on and the leisure battery level falls below 9V a warning beep will be heard and the leisure battery gauge 10V LED will flash.
If the power is turned on and the vehicle battery is selected being used and the level falls below Check supply polarity; if the RCD continues to fail contact your Dealer as there is probably an equipment or wiring fault. If the light illuminates there is a problem with the site supply or the cable connecting the supply to your vehicle. The light is designed to work on UK electrical supplies where the neutral conductor is connected to earth at the sub station. If you are using your vehicle outside the UK this light may illuminate when no fault exists.
In these cases consult the site warden for advice. This is a normal side effect when using some types of generator. Instead of connecting the neutral conductor to earth, some generators centre tap the earth connection making both neutral and live conductors v above earth. This v difference causes the neon polarity indicator to illuminate. In most cases it is still safe to use the generator, but please consult the generator handbook for further information.
Check batteries and fuses, turn PSU shutdown switch and charger switch on and ensure mains supply is connected. Contact your Dealer. Battery protect feature has operated to protect the Vehicle battery and or the Leisure battery. See 3. See 2. Observe control panel handling instructions Control panel software may have crashed.
Reboot control panel by turning off the PSU isolate switch. Wait 30 seconds then turn the switch back on. Both the internal and external pump feeds are controlled from the control panel. To alter the setting of the pump switch see section 3. Please contact if you require technical help.
For out of hour support please refer to the tech support section of the Sargent web site www. DC Output Note: Incorrect connection of the cables will cause a short circuit with potential hazardous consequences. After mounting the terminals, lift the battery together with the Soft Tray into the middle of the Battery Box compartment.
Push the battery to the back of the Battery Box. When attaching the volt cable on the CE socket, the maximum recommended thickness of the cable is 10 mm. When closing the door, the attached cable is to be fed through the slot in the door. The maximum battery size that can be fitted is mm high including terminals x mm deep x mm wide. The battery box The Battery Box is intended to accommodate an auxiliary battery in your caravan.
Inside the Battery Box there is the option to fit several sockets and outlets. Refer to the instructions on the battery. Act with caution as caustic substances are present in the battery. Do not leave all 12V appliances powered at the same time as this will drain your leisure battery more rapidly. A strong smell from the soft tray may also indicate spilled acid. Always treat spilled battery acid as hazardous waste. Dispose of spilled battery acid according to the local and national regulations.
Take care to prevent flames and sparks in the vicinity. Your caravan has been fitted with an in-line fuse between the battery terminal and caravan harness. It is recommended that the fuse rating fitted in this location does not exceed 20 amps.
