High Pressure Inlet ConnectionA special, custom fabricated and separately priced hose is required to connect the outletof the ROM to the inlet of the Control Panel. The hose can be purchased from anindependent source if so desired. Aeroquip FC 300-5 hose with a 411-5B fitting on eachend will be suitable. Connect one end of the hose to the brass flare fitting on the ROMand the other end to the inlet of the PRM.Pura Ultraviolet Disinfection/Filtration System OptionalTheoptional PURA UV1 provides 99% disinfecting of bacteria and viruses, along withcarbon block filtration to supply you with clean, safe, great tasting water. Water first passesthrough Pura's patented EPCB (extended pass carbon block) filter, removing particles likedirt, silt, and cysts such as Giardia Lamblia. This filter also removes chlorine and organicchemicals while eliminating bad tastes and odors. The water then passes along theUltraviolet Lamp that kills 99.9% of all bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms, includingCholera, E-Coli, Legionaries Disease and coliforms. PURA has developed a compact powersupply for the UV1 that makes annual lamp changes quick and easy. This unit providespurified water at one gallon-per-minute.

DC Genset / WatermakerPre-Run ChecklistPrior to Running the DC GeneratorThe following checklist is intended to ensure dependable DC genset and watermakeroperation. Please follow the instructions carefully to ensure proper system performance.Electrical ConnectionsProper wiring connections are essential to genset operation. Ensure that all electricalplugs are properly plugged in, wiring is complete, and fuses on engine are in place andfunctional. Make sure that electrical plugs at the engine location are well protected againstwater intrusion, and that all connections are secured so they can't fall into puddled wateror other sources of electrical danger. Plugs may be hermetically sealed with blackelectrician's tape to add protection against water intrusion. In some installations, it may benecessary to secure wiring with wire ties to minimize chafing and vibration.High Output Alternator CablingSecure terminal connections and properly-sized cable runs are a necessity for chargingefficiency and system health. Ensure that both positive and negative output terminals fromthe alternator are properly sized, based on the length of run. A 3% loss wiring chart isincluded in the manual for the Max Charge regulator. Keep in mind that sizing should bebased on the round-trip distance between the alternator and the batteries being charged.Both positive and negative cabling must be equally sized to support charging amperage.The cabling between the alternator and battery bankmust be protected with a fuse or circuit breaker, asoutlined in ABYC electrical standards. Fusing mustexceed the output potential of the alternator. Ensurethat wiring is properly secured and is protected againstchafing. Wire ties or wire-relief fasteners should beutilized at the genset to support the weight of the heavyoutput wiring. This relieves the strain of the cableconnections at the alternator terminals, as copperconnectors may become loosened with enginevibration.- 20 -Oil fill / dipstick locations.
