Installation and Maintenance Instructions
THE FOLLOWING ARE CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS THAT MUST BE READ AND FOLLOWED
DURING BOTH INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
WARNING: Raritan Engineering Company, Inc. recommends that a qualified person or electrician install
this product. Equipment damage, injury to personnel or death could result from improper
installation. Raritan Engineering Company, Inc. accepts no responsibility or liability for
damage to equipment, or injury or death to personnel that may result from improper installation
or operation of this product.
WARNING: HAZARD OF SHOCK AND FIRE - Always use recommended fuse/circuit breaker and wire
size.
WARNING: HAZARD OF FLOODING - Always shut off seacocks before leaving boat unattended.
Double clamp all hose fittings below the waterline, check hose clamps frequently for integrity.
WARNING: The Lectra/San EC operates on an Electrochemical principle. Introduction of any substance other
than salt water, human waste or toilet tissue may cause heat build up and extensive damage. If any
other substance is introduced by accident, the Lectra/San EC must not be turned on until entire
system is flushed out with water.
INTRODUCTION
The Lectra/San EC is a U.S. Coast Guard Certified
Type I Marine Sanitation Device for uninspected
vessels less than 65 feet in length. Lectra/San EC
accommodates most marine toilets. It can be used
with one or two toilets (see page 10). It is designed
and approved to treat waste for overboard discharge
in areas that are not declared a No-Discharge zone by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The
total system is made up of three basic parts:
The Control Indicator Panel - Begins the treatment
cycle and can also be connected to flush an electric
toilet at the same time (single toilet application).
Dimensions: 4 1/2"H x 2 3/4"W x 1"D
The Treatment Tank - Consists of two chambers
and an electrode pack that temporarily converts
salt water into a powerful bactericide for the
duration of the treatment cycle. The top of the tank
contains the control module and its protective cover.
Dimensions: 16"W x 8 3/4"D x 13 1/2"H
Salt Feed Tank - Necessary to supply a saturated
salt solution when not operating in water of ocean
salinity. Dimensions: 9"W x 9"D x 7"H
Additional parts included: 1 1/2" hose adapters
(2), 1 1/2" NPT Intake Plug, 90
°
1 1/2" slip PVC
fitting, ribbon cable, salt tank attachments, Owners
manual, warranty information, template for Opera-
tion Instruction Wall Placard Indicator Panel and
U.S.C.G. Type I Equipped label.
NOTE: To comply with U.S.C.G. Regulations, the
instruction wall placard should be placed near the
control indicator panel and the "U.S.C.G. Type I
Equipped" label MUST be in a visible location.
OPERATION
Press yellow button (Push to Flush) to activate
Lectra/San EC system.
NOTE: Toilet must not exceed 1.5 gallons of
waste water during any total flush cycle.
1. If your toilet is electrically connected with the
Lectra/San EC (see Figs. 9 and 9A), it will flush
automatically. You may flush the toilet as
necessary at 10 second intervals within the first
40 seconds (duration of the FLUSH cycle).
