Troubleshooting Older Model of Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer After Power Outage
Published 01/11/2018 >
Question:
I have an earlier version of this product which is labeled Circuit Analyzer Other than the label, the products seem the same. After a power outage, which cycled off and on a number of times, I noticed that my analyzer had only the right-hand yellow light on. This fault code is not listed in the documentation. I tried the analyzer in various circuits, both 120 and 30amp, and only the right-hand was lit. I suspect this means the analyzer was sacrificed when the power fluctuated. Would I be correct in this assumption? TIA for any information.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Your older model of the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310 definitely appears to have been damaged by your recent power outage/surge. I did confirm with Camco that a yellow light just on the rand hand side is not an error code so this points to some kind of damage within the part itself.
I do recommend replacing your unit with the current model. This does have integrated surge protection to provide extra security and a weather-resistant construction to protect the electrical components. It comes with a 1-year warranty as well.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.
