Ventura MPC Operation
Normal operation
If the system has been pickled or stored, use the “New System Startup” procedure.
1. Check to see that the inlet seacock is open.
2. Push the “Auto Run” one or more times. The machine will run for one hour for each
time the button is pushed, then shut off and automatically do a fresh water flush. If you
receive a “System Stalled” error code, there is no flow in the system. Open the pressure
relief valve on the Clark Pump and bleed the air out of the feed pump.
3. Run the system until you have filled your tank or have made enough to meet your re-
quirements for several days.
4. When the unit shuts down it will enter the “Auto Store” mode, which will flush the unit
every five days unless you run it to make water, the unit is de-powered, or the “Stop”
button is pressed.
5. You may stop the system at any time with the “Stop” button, but if you do it will not
flush itself or go into “Auto Flush” mode.
You may now leave the system unattended for up to five days without further attention
We recommend operating the system for longer periods and effecting a fresh water flush
rather than running the machine every day and not flushing the system. Remember that you
need to run the system almost a half hour to make the flushing water. You may notice that
the system output is higher while charging your batteries as the machine is voltage sensitive.
Storage mode. The timer counts down in hours until the next flush cycle.
Warning! Understanding automatic fresh water flush system is essential for it to be effec-
tive.
1. Make sure that the system has continuous power. Shutting down power will reset control.
2. Make sure that the potable water system is “on” and that there is adequate water in the
tank for the extended period.
