(Continued from page 222)


NOTE:
Note the position of the indicator needle on the Control Unit meter during the treatment cycle, if it is not registering in the Normal range (and the salt feed tank is not empty) make the adjustment shown at the top of page 20, if the meter reading tends in time to drift to the Low range, refer to Section VI.  Troubleshooting, for corrective action. Continued operation of the system in the Low range indicates inadequate waste treatment.

      Meter Reading        Salt Feed Valve Adjustment
         High                        Close Valve slightly
         Low                         Open valve slightly

If after about six normal uses the meter reading is still not in the Normal range, review the Start Up Procedures in Section IV. Also check Section VI, Troubleshooting.

D. SALT FEED ADJUSTMENTS
The salt feed rate was originally set for dockside operation (Section IV, LECTRA/SAN START-UP), When sailing into waters that are significantly more or less saline, an adjustment of the salt feed valve should be made according to the following table:


      Boat Movement           Salt Feed Valve Adjustment
      To fresh water            Open Valve To open sea
      To Open water             Close Valve

E. SALT FEED TANK REFILLING PROCEDURES
1. Do not let the salt feed tank run dry. The toilet will not flush
satisfactorily if the tank is dry and the head sucks in air.
2. Check level of brine in salt feed tank frequently.
3. Dissolve salt in a separate container and pour saturated solution into the salt feed tank, being careful no un-dissolved salt enters the tank which could clog components.

F. BOARDING AND DEPARTING PROCEDURES
If the boat is not used for more than a two-day period, a treatment cycle should be routinely run prior to use. This is done with a clockwise turn of the knob on the Control Unit to activate LECTRA/SAN. The toilet is not flushed.
When the boat is to be left for long periods, an extended flush and treatment cycle should be performed. Activate LECTRA/SAN with a clockwise turn of the knob on the Control Unit. Flush the toilet for about thirty (30) seconds or throughout the flush/pretreat cycle.

VI. TroubleShooting

Although LECTRA/SAN has been designed and engineered to be trouble-free, component or unit malfunction may cause the system to become inoperative or to operate incorrectly. A number of possible problems and their probable causes are listed below along with corrective action to be taken to remedy the problem. The corrective action steps should be performed in the order shown until the cause of the problem is corrected.
Problem / Possible Cause

System Inoperative
   A. No power to Control Unit?
      A-1. Check for proper voltage (12,24, or 32 VDC) with
           volt meter between lugs D and E on the relay
           in the Control Unit (See Fig 6) If there is
           voltage go on to B.
      A-2. Check lug E to be sure it is properly tightened.
           Also check the power connection at the Treatment
           Unit and power supply.
      A-3. Check main power circuit breaker or fuse
      A-4. Check for dead battery or faulty converter
   B. Improper Wiring
      B-1. Check for proper wiring of Control Unit
           and Treatment Unit (See Figures 6 and 12)
           Be sure all connections are tight.
   C. Faulty Control Unit Timer
      C-l. Check for proper voltage (12,24, or 32 VDC)
           between terminal T-2 on the timer and terminal
           D on the relay. (See Fig. 6) If there is no
           voltage, recheck A above
      C-2. If there is proper voltage, check timer operation.
           Activate the timer with a clockwise turn of the
           knob and check for proper voltage (12,24, or 32 VDC)
           between terminal L-2 on the timer and terminal D
           on the relay. If there is no voltage the timer
           is faulty and must be replaced.
      C-3. Check for proper voltage (12, 24, or 32 VDC) between
           terminal T3 on the timer and terminal D on the
           relay during the treatment cycle if there is no
           voltage, timer is defective.  Replace Timer.
      C-4. Check solenoid relay for continuity between
           terminals E & F after energizing D & G (see figure 12)

Flush/Pretreat Light Inoperative
   A. Fuse A blown
      A-1. Replace fuse A Be sure to check fuse specifications
          given in parts list on page 38.
      A-2. Check to see that connections on fuse clip are
          clean. Dirt and corrosion cause heat buildup
          which can result in a blown fuse.
      A-3. If replacement fuse A blows in the next operating
           cycle or soon after, the mixer (smaller) motor
           must be inspected for damage or excess loading
           on the shaft. Replace defective motor or clean
           shaft and impeller.

NOTE: See Specifications Section for proper amperages
       for motors & electrodes.

   B. Defective LED Board
      B-1. Check all connections leading to the LED Board
           (Fig 12. page 41) to be sure terminals
            a, c, d are tight.
      B-2. Check for proper voltage (12,24, or 32 VDC) between
           Terminals (a) and (d) on the LED Board during the
           Flush/Pretreat cycle. If there is proper voltage
           and the Flush/Pretreat light does not operate
           then the LED Board is defective. Replace LED Board.
      B-3. If the proper voltage does not register between
           terminals (a) and (d) on the LED Board, check       
           fuse A. If fuse is good, check timer.
