Title: AUDIT SYSTEM Voltage?
Post by: fouroureye on November 26, 2013, 10:17:01 am
94 gv u280
System worked fine
Voltage down to 10.4
Turned on system to check tank levels - does not work no monitor flash
Charged system turned on flash of monitor.. no info

Called # listed refered me to Foretravel

Did i mess it up with low voltage?
Can i reset it?

The voltage is probably still too low. Check your batteries. My Audit monitor won't even show a picture on the tube if the voltage is too low.

System charged to 12.8

It worked at 12.2

John,

Have you verified 12.2+ VDC at the Audit?

John,
The monitor requires 12 volts. The power supply take whatever voltage it gets from the coach (high or low ) and adjusts it to the required 12 volts.
When the power supply is bad they behave as you have describe.
If you start the engine and increase 12volt system voltage does it help?
There is a schematic floating around that showed how to checkout the power supply.
I think power supply's are still available from Javelina but may be costly.
I have a used power supply and monitor that I will sell.

OK I will check it.

Bit confused how it was working tried it at 10.2 now it doesn't.
Could starting it at low voltage effected per supply?

John,
Not sure if low voltage hurt the power supply.
The power supply takes input voltage and adds 5 volts to it then regulates that voltage down to 12 volts.

Hi,

Here is the Audit schematic from a previous post. Bill Chaplin is the guy to thank as he made a large copy and gave it to me when Bill and Jo visited us. All wires codes are pretty easy to read on the schematic as well as on the wires. As Brett and John suggest, have you checked voltage? Check ground too.

Doubt low voltage did anything as RVs frequently see low voltage with leaving accessories on, etc.

Open message and then open PDF at the bottom. Audit Monitor -- Camera issue (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=17688.msg119017#msg119017)

John,
There is a schematic that shows how to check the power supply.
I think Lauri Morale at Javelina will E-Mail a copy to you.

OK
Got frustrated.. Wife says let it rest..
What.. ? So I took off the charger.. started It and the backup camera worked, flipped the selector switch.. all readings appear!

Thanks to all that helped.. especially my Love!
