Ventura MPC New System Start-Up and Testing

Avoid running the Ventura system if the vessel is in contaminated water, such as in a harbor or canal. The system should be fully tested before leaving port. If the location or weather prevents proper testing refer to the section “Dry Testing.”

Warning! Damage may occur if the purge sequence is bypassed and the membrane is pressurized with storage chemical in it.

First check that:

Thru-hull inlet valve is open and the brine discharge valve is open.

All of your hose connections are tight.

The green tag with the spacer under the pressre relief valve has been removed.

The pressure relief valve is open 1/2 turn.

The switch on the MPC control box is set to the“Auto” position.

Remove Tag and Washer!

Open 1/2 Turn when Purging Chemicals!

Power up the system by turning on the cir- cuit breaker. A message on the display will read Open Pressure Relief Valve Now

Push the “Auto Run” Button. The feed pump will start and the message “Purging Storage Solution” will appear.

Note: See Part 2 for instructions on dimming the display and programming from the display
