any experienced Avondale Argent 460/2 owners out there? Its in the toilet compartment. A 2 AA battery set up but I have no clue what it does. Everything works fine but this is a mystery. I thought it might have something to do with the little button in pic #2.
Make sure you out fresh batteries in and clean the terminals . You can test the LED indicator - when cassette is empty and clean by opening the flap in the toilet bowl and then put your hand down and lift the float to the right on the inside of the cassette. The Led should come on.if it doesn't come on first attempt, give the battery contacts another clean.. If it still doesn't work it may be the switch or LED that is faulty. For replacement you need to remove the entire toilet....not a big job.
There is a little float in the loo with a magnet. There is a sensor powered by the 2 batteries which is activated when the tank is ready for emptying! (Usually when you are jst about to go to bed!!)

How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
Inside the left hand side of the cassette tank (looking from the access door) there is a sensor which officially is called a 'reed switch' which is a float with a magnet attached and has two lugs either side that clips into position inside the tank that swivels up and down. The float and reed switch runs parallel with the side of the tank so when the fluid inside the tank rises the float rises as well which passes the sensor inside the tank compartment which is powered by the two batteries shown in the photo. When the cassette tank is near full, the reed switch magnet makes contact with the external sensor which then activates the switch which in turn illuminates the light on the toilet to indicate that the cassette tank is full. This is exactly how the system operates but I had a problem with the float in mine as it kept jamming so the tank got full without any light indication. The cost of a replacement tank is expensive so I just removed the float and tried to fit a brand new one but because of it's location inside the tank it's impossible to see so replacement ended in failure. It's a gadget that serves a minor purpose really but not a critical requirement so now I just visually look to see when it needs emptying plus no further electric problems or having to replace batteries.
Can someone explain why there is a separate battery to drive this warning light, and not the leisure battery. Seems even more odd when on some models there is an electric flush.
