Wiring (continued)

Mount the main power terminal block in a junction box or on a bulkhead adjacent to the feed pump module. Make sure that this is a dry location well above bilge level and not subject to wa- ter spray.

Route the control cable through the boat to the MPC display location. Be careful not to damage the connector or get it wet. Plug this into the back of the control.

Connect the red and black Boost Pump wires to the corresponding red and black conductors in the Boost Pump cable (red to red, black to black) using the supplied butt connectors, and heat the connectors to waterproof them.

Check the wire size chart to select the proper size power feed to the main power harness. DC power feeds should be uninterruptible to insure proper operation of the auto store feature. Avoid house breaker panels that could be easily tripped.

Component Sizing:

•12V Use a 30Amp breaker and size the wiring for 25 Amperes.

•24V use a 15 Amp breaker and size the wire for 13 Amperes.

•Provide circuit protection at the source! Inadequate wiring will cause a loss of system performance. DC power should be uninterruptible.

Note: If the specified circuit breaker sizes are unavailable use the next higher rating but do not exceed the specification by more then 10%. All wiring to be done to applicable ABYC, Marine UL or CE standards.

This advanced system harnesses the power of reverse osmosis to remove salt and impurities from seawater, ensuring the production of clean and safe drinking water. The Newport 400 operates with exceptional energy efficiency, requiring significantly less power compared to traditional watermakers. This is particularly beneficial for boats relying on limited energy sources like solar panels or generators.

The Newport 400 is engineered for ease of operation and maintenance with a user-friendly control panel. Operators can easily monitor key parameters such as water output, pressure, and system status. The intuitive interface makes it simple to adjust settings and troubleshoot potential issues. Additionally, the system is constructed from high-quality corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring durability and longevity in harsh marine environments.

An impressive characteristic of the Spectra Newport 400 is its ultra-quiet operation. This watermaker is designed to minimize noise, making it perfect for use in the close quarters of a yacht without disturbing the peace on board. The integration of advanced technologies further enhances its performance, including a sophisticated water pre-filtration system that reduces the risk of membrane fouling.

The Newport 400 is also designed with versatility in mind. It can be easily integrated into various onboard systems, allowing for simple installation and operation. Its compact size means it can fit into tight spaces on smaller vessels without sacrificing performance.

In summary, the Spectra Watermakers Newport 400 is a reliable, efficient, and quiet solution for generating freshwater in a marine environment. Its advanced reverse osmosis technology, ease of use, and robust construction make it an ideal choice for boaters seeking independence from shore-based water sources. Whether for leisurely cruising or serious ocean voyaging, the Newport 400 stands out as a top-tier watermaker for modern maritime adventures.
