MPC-5 PURGE MODE BYPASS

Whenever the control power (12 or 24 volt DC) has been shut off the system will prompt you through the purge mode when it is turned back on. This is because the only time the MPC-5000 should be turned off is after the system has been pickled. Purge Mode prompts the operator to open the pressure relief and then runs seawater through the system for 20 minutes to clear away the chemicals. Normally, during periods of disuse the MPC-5000 will remain powered up so that it can do the five day flush cycles, and no storage solution will be present. If the control power has been interrupted but the system is not filled with storage solution, Purge Mode can be bypassed by tapping the two left hand buttons at the same time until the display reads PURGE MODE BYPASSED. The buttons must be pushed at exactly the same time. You can’t hold one down and then push the other. From Purge Mode By- passed you can run the system in any mode. 4/20/04
