After doing some research on the Radio Switch Monoplex it appears that Monaco had used that device in the earlier Monaco coaches.

Can someone that owns one of these earlier coaches please tell me how many water pump switches are in the coach.

I suspect that possibly there is only one switch. Whereas with the Intellitec Latching Controller that Monaco used in later coaches it allowed them to have more than one switch available in many locations.

As I understand their function, the monoplex latching controller will handle an almost unlimited number of momentary contact switches. Each switch serves as a path to ground which toggles the controller to go from On to Off. The pump is connected to a fused 12v (+) all the time, the controller provides a path to ground.

I also note the controller consumes 2.0 mA on standby, so it's one of those phantom drains on the house battery system when stored.

Thanks guys for the switch information.

So after looking at the 5 different lugs of the Intellitec Radio Switch Monoplex device I am guessing that only FOUR are used that would be similar to the Intellitec Latching Controller contacts.

I have attached a photo of the Radio Switch Monoplex Controller.

I would assume that the water pump is wired to the RADIO contact, 12 VDC positive goes to the Coach contact, 12 VDC negative goes to the GND and the switches all go to the SIGNAL contact.

Would that be correct?

I appreciate your help in understanding how this device works. You learn something new everyday.

Richard, that is correct, in my coach there was no wire connected to the ignition terminal.

Man, I learn something every day here. I had to replace the latching relay in my coach and had no idea what a radio switch would have to do with the water pump.

What you need to order is an Intellitec 10 Amp Latching Controller. Photo below.

I don't have the one you attached. I have at least 2 switches and for all I know there might be more as I'm constantly finding something new in the coach!

New part came in today and it's identical to the one I had before. It has a 2010 date on the board whereas the old one was 2006. Hopefully it won't catch fire though.
