systems check board

What is proper name for systems check board ? Tank levels, battery status indicator. Rocker switch took a dump. Thanks
  • Called KIB. Talked to tech support. Ordered switch and got instructions on how to remove from wall. Easy, easy.
  • For people who spud a lot, 24 gauge stainless steel is more crease resistant (stiffer) than regular sheet metal. If you an find it in 316 grade stainless the card will be unbelievably strong.
  • REMOVAL

    I commonly face this question

    A "mar-proof" method is hard to find.

    I have in my collection of "spud" tools a steel credit card size (thickness too) plate that is intended to slip between the panel and "wall". Gently probe around the full circumference of the panel and use lightweight pulling (prying) pressure.

    Sometimes manufacturers use friction to retain a panel. You might find that you encounter "push down tabs" in which case you will have to push down and gently pry.

    Very common are holes in the panel itself with cleverly disguised rubber plugs that fit flush with the panel.
  • Any RV parts store or electrical store will have those switches. It's either on/off or momentary on.
  • If it is just a bad switch get one at your local hardware store. Just get the amp rating off the bad one and get a new with the same or higher rating.
  • Generally called 'Monitor Panel'. A major manufacture of these panels is KIB Enterprises. Try doing a google search.
  • They're generally just referred to as the tank level monitor or display.
