MPC-3000 Controller System
One Button Operation for Total Control
Add one touch control and monitoring to any Spectra Watermaker.
One touch of the auto run button on the MPC-3000 touch pad sets the watermaker
in motion. You tell the controller how long to run, and the MPC-3000 controller
produces the desired amount of water, or fills your water tanks full, then
flushes the watermaker system with fresh water and shuts off. Just set it
and forget it!
If you don't use your watermaker for a while, the controller will flush your watermaker
system every five dayswith fresh water keeping your watermaker in a fresh
water storage state for as long as you like. Just set it and forget it!
No need to go to the engine room to adjust the watermaker or see if the pre-filters need
changing. The MPC-3000 controller monitors all functions of the watermaker.
The display will show time remaining for requested water production, feed
water pressure, pre-filter condition (optional), water tank full status
(with optional tank switch), product water quality, product water flow
rate to tanks, and total system hours run.
All functions are in one small 5.25" x 3.75" control display panel located in
a convenient space away from the watermaker. Interfacing the display panel
with the control box is done by six conductor phone cable and jacks. Each
control display panel has terminals on the back to accommodate an alarm
annunciator. Multiple control display panels, up to three, can be added
for even more convenience.
For Spectra watermakers with two feed water pumps, a high/low button is used to run the watermaker
in high mode (two feed water pumps running) or low mode for one feed water
pump running.
An optional automatic priming system can be added for systems that may have a potential of drawing
air into the seawater intake. If the controller does not reach operating
pressure within
The electrical control box has built-in manual override switches so the watermaker system can
work without the MPC-3000 electronic controls. The switches can also be
used for servicing the watermaker.
Two MPC-3000 Controller Systems To Choose From
The BASIC MPC-3000
Controller System is used as an option with new Spectra watermaker systems,
or existing Spectra watermaker systems without any automatic salinity
control and or automatic back flush systems. This would include all 180
modular systems, 200-C and 380-C modular systems, Santa Cruz systems and
all future Spectra watermaker systems. The BASIC SYSTEM includes: control
box with controller board and override switches, one control display panel,
50 foot control cable, feed water pressure sensor, fresh water flush system
with charcoal filter housing and filter element, salinity sensor, product
diversion valve, Clark High Pressure Pump sensor (requires Clark pump
retrofit for existing watermaker systems), alarm annunciator, installation
and operations manual.
The RETROFIT MPC-3000
Controller System is used with all existing Spectra watermakers that have
automatic back-flush and or automatic salinity control. This would include
all 180 modular systems, 200-C and 380-C modular systems, Santa Cruz systems,
and Gulfstream 400 systems. The RETROFIT SYSTEM includes: control box
with controller board and override switches, one control display panel,
50 foot control cable, feed water pressure sensor, salinity sensor, product
diversion valve, Clark High Pressure Pump sensor (requires Clark pump
end-block replacement), alarm annunciator, installation and operations
manual.
Basic MPC-3000 Controller with System Options
Notes:
- The MPC-3000 controller pictured above has a factory pre-assembiled option. See price pages.
- The Retrofit MPC-3000 Controller System does not include the fresh water flush system.
- The pre-filter condition sensor option is required for pre-filter condition display and alarm functions.
- The prime valve is used for the automatic priming feature of the controller.
- For MPC-3000 controllers that will be added to existing Spectra Watermakers, the Clark high-pressure pump needs to be modified.
See an authorized Spectra distributor for exchange procedures.
