Newport Installation Quick Start

Thank you for your purchase of a Spectra Newport system. Properly installed it will provide years of trouble free service. Please pay attention to the installation instructions and the sys- tem layout. Like any piece of mechanical equipment the system will require inspection and service from time to time. Do not place the components in inaccessible areas that will pre- vent proper maintenance. If you are having a dealer install the system for you, review the location of the components to make sure that the installation will meet your approval upon completion.

Important Details for Installer

1.The system must have a dedicated sea water inlet to guarantee a solid flow of water to the system. The inlet should be as low in the boat as possible and with a scoop type for- ward facing thru-hull fitting installed.

2.Both the Newport MkII Feed pump module and the Clark pump/Membrane module must be installed in a well ventilated compartment where temperatures will not ex- ceed 120F (48C). Many engine compartments exceed this temperature when under- way. Warranty will be void if the installation does not meet this requirement.

3.Follow the wire gauge charts in the instructions! Using larger wire than specified is ac- ceptable.

4.The MPC control must have DC power continuously to achieve the full benefits of the fresh water flush system. The domestic fresh water pressure must be on and the fresh water tank level maintained. Calculate 5 gallons (12L) per flush..

5.The MPC 5000 control must be de-powered (DC power off) after the system is put in storage “pickled” where a storage chemical or antifreeze is run through the system.

6.If you are separating the Clark pump/membrane assembly, please review the high pres- sure tube assembly instructions. Improper assembly will cause failure!

7.Run test, then “sea trial” the complete system before assuming the system is opera- tional. If the boat is in fresh or dirty water, see “Dry testing the system.”

8.Spectra dealers are responsible for educating the vessel owners on the operation and maintenance of the system. We request that you “walk through” the installation with our customer.

9.Please have the owner fill out the warranty card. The warranty is void if it is not regis- tered.
