Controls and Electrics
YOU MUST:
•
Connect the Control Box (key 26) either directly to the battery or to a primary distribu-
tion board with sufficient spare amperage capacity.
•
Keep the total length of both the positive and negative wires to a minimum, selecting
your wire size from the Electrical Specifications table below.
Caution! Inadequate wire size will result in voltage drop, and will
reduce performance.
•
Make all joints with appropriately rated marine grade terminal blocks and crimp
connectors.
•
Use marine grade multi-strand copper wire.
•
Support all wires approximately every 18" (46 cm) with plastic cable clips.
YOU MUST FIT the correct size of fuseholder or circuit breaker, selected from the Electrical
Specifications table. If you connect the Control Box directly to the battery, fit your fuseholder
or circuit breaker within 7" (17cm) of the battery.
Caution! Remove fuse, or turn circuit breaker off, whilst installing
Controls and Electrics.
•
Fix the Control Box (key 26) in a dry but accessible position close to the Flush pump.

To use the Jabsco fascia panel provided, (Key 29) drill a 5/8" (16mm) hole for the 6 way
control cable connector. Screw the control panel (key 28) onto selected location with
suitable counter sunk head screws. Clip on fascia panel (key 29)
To use Gewiss fascia panels remove the four screws tabs (see picture below). Cut a
•
rectangular hole 53mm x 92mm. Fix panel to selected location with four counter sunk
head screws. Clip on Gewiss fascia panel
•
To use Vimar fascia panels remove the four screw tabs (see picture below) Cut a rectan-
gular hole 53mm x 92mm. Place adaptor (key 30) onto panel (key 28) and screw into
place with four counter sunk head screw. Clip on Vimar panel onto adaptor.
Cut along indented lines on either

•
Slide the Heat Shrink Sleeve (key 27) over the control cable. Plug in the 6 way control
cable to the Control Box, and carefully use a hot air gun or hairdryer to seal the Heat
Shrink Sleeve over the 6 way connector.
•
Note that the Control Box has 6 other leads - Red and Black, Orange and Blue and 2
black ground wires.
•
Connect your boat's Positive (+) feed to the Red (+) input lead of the Control Box, and
your boat's Negative (−) return to the Black (−) output lead of the Control Box.
•
Connect the Orange (+) output lead of the Control Box to the Red (+) input lead of the
Flush pump motor (key 21).
•
Either connect the Blue (+) output lead of the Control Box to any terminal of the Sole-
noid Valve (key 31) or to the Red (+) input lead of the Raw Water Rinse pump (key 32).
•
Connect 1 black ground wire to the remaining terminal on the solenoid valve or the
black wire on the raw water rinse pump.
•
Connect the other black wire to the black wire on the Flush pump

•
Apply a bead of white silicone sealant to the base of the toilet.
•
Bolt down the toilet, using plastic washers next to the china, with stainless steel wash-
ers between the plastic washers and the bolt heads. Tighten the fastenings securely. If
