Electrical Information
Caution: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD . A Volt/Ohm Meter will be necessary for some troubleshooting and
subsequent corrective actions. The following procedures expose the technician to high voltage and electrical shock
hazard. Only attempt this if you are a qualified electrician and surrounding conditions are safe.
Caution: Always allow slack in electrical cables. Allow the cable to enter or leave from the strain relief in a straight
manner for several inches to ensure proper connection, to relieve stress to the cable and fitting, and to allow ease
of detachment and reattachment for maintenance or replacement. If electrical cables are pulled tight causing them
to bend at the strain relief they will pull out of the strain relief causing a dangerous electrical shock condition, the
wire may break, and the strain relief will lose its watertight integrity.
Caution: Review the “Check Off Q.C. Sheet” that accompanied this Owner's Manual and the Invoice that
accompanied this Seafari Quest System to ensure that it has been configured from Horizon Reverse Osmosis for
the appropriate and proper DC Voltage.
Notes:
1. A 12 VDC System will NOT function from 24 VDC Power.
2. A 24 VDC System will NOT function from 12 VDC Power.
Remove the Front cover from the system controller to access the Main Terminal Strip and Printed Circuit Board. System
configuration, optional Accessories present, and the specific model all are contributing factors to the amount of electrical
connections required during installation. The following items are listed but may either not be present (Optional Accessory
not ordered) or may already be connected. Track each electrical wire to ensure proper connection. (*** = Optional
Accessory)
Seafari Quest System Required Electrical Connections

• *** Remote Controller
• Electrical Power to the System
Electrical Requirements
Direct Current (DC) Powered Systems:
During start up, the current of the Feed Water Pump DC Electric Motor draws high amperage for a fraction of a
second after which the Electric Motor begins to rotate. After the Electric Motor achieves full RPM rotation, the
current drops to a normal running load. This process takes less than 0.5 seconds.
Therefore, the battery bank power source must be fully charged and of sufficient amperage storage capacity to
provide and maintain the full voltage (12 VDC or 24 VDC, as appropriate) at the instant of starting the Feed Water
Pump Electric Motor. If the battery bank power is insufficient, the Seafari Quest electronic circuit may “drop out”
