Autosleeper Warwick Control Panel

We have an 08 Autosleeper Warwick (on a Peugeot 2.2 base) - and the Habitation Battery Drain Screen on the control panel constantly shows a high disharge (RED screen) even though everything is switched off.

I don't have the eqipment to measure the actual discharge (yet) but it does seem that the drain on the leisure battery is minimal since it's still reads as "Good" - fully charged.

We bought this from Marquis and they say they have contacted AutoSleepers, and that AutoSleepers say that this is "normal" ...

Does anyone have any ideas whet might be going on?

Hi Twizzle.

Welcome to the forum. How about introducing your self to the rest of the forum members in the intro section.

Hello Twizzle
I have a Duo and I think the Warwick has the same panel. If you go onto the Sargent Electrical Services Limited web site you can downpoad the instruction book for this panel EC155 and it will explain everything regarding this panel. Also give them a phone or e-mail with your query they are very helpful.

Twizzle, this will be an MES control panel with a screen and three press-buttons.

I have the same problem with mine.

Auto-Sleepers told my dealer that the incorrect Habitation Battery Drain display is due to a software problem and is normal.

I believe MES no longer support this unit, or anything else for that matter!

Hi Twizzle
We've had our 08 Warwick 10 months now, I've never seen that part of the control panel say anything else, I think that as the display panel is energized then there is discharge from the leisure battery and this is what it is telling you, so you can't have the panel lit up without discharging the battery so it's a waist of time displaying the info.

We also have a 08 Warwick and like previous comments our control panel shows this constantly even with everything switched off.

I am not sure of the panel in the Warwick but if its a Sargent then there could be upto 2 volts errors on the readings.  
Cant remember which section the thread was in but I went into detail of the tests we carried out on our panel and the difference rectification made but it still reads -0.7v error but thats a lot better than before and the error is consistant

It may not apply to your panel but on the EC325/EC328 there is a calibration facility on the current drawn indication. When new mine was showing -2A with nothing on and after calibration that dropped to 0.1A. The calibration is merely a matter of holding in one ofth ebuttons for a couple of seconds until it says "calibrating". Given that yours has a background colour change even a small error might turn it red though.
Check your handbook and if you haven't got one try to download from the web.
If it is an MES panel then this thread may help you:

Hi Guys,
We have a 2008 Warwick which is now drained down and covered over for the winter and has been for a couple of weeks.
The problem we have is every few days the " Fresh water low" warning bleeper keeps sounding and I then have to get into the van, cancel the warning on the control panel and alls well for a couple of days and it then starts sounding again. Is there a way of switching this panel off completely without disconnecting the batteries?
The panel is the type with left and right arrows and a square between with the display above.

See this thread, you are not alone...
