IC - Intelligent Control Technology

At the heart of every Whale® IC product lies innovative electronic control circuitry built

in. This enables IC sensor accessories to communicate directly with IC pumps to

control their performance. These accessories send signals to built-in intelligent

software which then control the pumps to react as required.

Gulper® IC

The Gulper® IC fully automatic self-priming pump is designed as a remote mounting

bilge pump. Output capacity depends on installation and operating conditions.

REMOTE MOUNTED BILGE APPLICATION

Save time and money by reducing four separate components to one pre-wired

system. Remote mounting automatic Gulper® IC receives signals from Strainer IC

and switches on and off automatically (See ig 1). Suitable for a primary bilge pump

for boats smaller than 12 metres/39.4 ft (designed to ISO15083), or as a secondary

bilge pump on any recreational marine vessel.

Read the following instructions carefully.

Check that the product is suitable for the intended application, follow these installation

instructions and ensure all relevant personnel read the points listed below. Also

ensure that these operating instructions are passed on to the end user.

Gulper® IC is designed for installation in recreational marine vessels only and

operated on 12 or 24 V d.c. electrical supply only. If it is intended for use for any other

purpose or with any other liquid, it is the user's responsibility to ensure that the pump

is suitable for the intended use and, in particular, that the materials are fully

compatible with the liquids to be used. The Whale Gulper® IC pump is not

recommended for domestic applications.

• This pump must not be mounted below the water line when

connected to an intake or outlet unless the system has a

vented loop (see ig 1).

• Not suitable for pumping flammable liquids, diesel,

chemicals etc. Suitable for bilge water only.

•NOTE: Bilge pump capacities may not be sufficient to prevent flooding

from rapid accumulation of water due to storms, rough weather and/ or

rapid leaks created by hull damage and or unsafe navigational conditions.

• With all applications, it is important that a system of safe working practice

is applied to installation, use and maintenance. Ensure the electric supply

is turned off and waste water system is drained before installation. In order

to securely fasten the unit, ensure that the mounting surface is a minimum

thickness of 19mm (3/4") (when fitted with the screws supplied).

•NOTE Do not screw directly to the hull - must be mounted on a bulkhead

or on an additional board.

•NOTE - DO NOT unscrew the rear section, as interference with the

internal electrics will render the pump unfit for use. - this is a non-

serviceable part of the pump.

•WARNING: ire hazard. Wiring must comply with applicable electrical

standards and include a properly rated fuse or circuit breaker (See section

11v.) Improper wiring can cause a fire resulting in injury or death. Switch

off the power while making connections.

NOTE: Incorrect installation will invalidate warranty

Preparation - Always disconnect power sources before installing.

11.i Location

• Choose a position to mount the pump that is dry and away from standing

water and is free from obstacles.

• Mount in a position with the shortest possible pipe run lengths.

11.ii Mounting Instructions - Gulper® IC

• Gulper® IC can be mounted on a horizontal or vertical surface.

• When mounted vertically ensure that the pump head is lower most (see

ig 2).

NOTE -It is recommended that the outlet is mounted above the water line and anti-

syphon loops are fitted where applicable- see typical installation ( ig. 1)

• When mounting, position the pump on surface and work out the best

angles for the hose (to prevent kinking) and mark the 3 hole positions

using the pump feet.

•NOTE: The pump head may be rotated to suit the hose connections.

Loosen the screw, adjust and ensure diaphragm remains in place.

Reposition the head to the required position (fig 3) and tighten the screw

• Drill pilot holes of 3.2mm (1/8").

NOTE: Do not drill through hull, ensure that pump is mounted to additional board or

bulkhead.

• Use the three No.8 self tappers and washers (included) to secure the

pump.

• Use 19mm (3/4") or 25mm (1") smooth bore reinforced hose to connect to

the pump with hose clips.

NOTE: Barbed connections mean no need to cut inlets or outlets to size.

NOTE: Ensure tight connections, but do not over-tighten clamp rings/ screws/hose

clips

NOTE: In order to securely fasten the unit, ensure that the p clamp mounting surface

is at least 19mm (3/4") minimum thickness.

11.iii Mounting Instructions - Strainer IC

• Mount in a position with the shortest pipe run lengths.

• Drill pilot holes. NOTE: do not drill through hull; ensure that strainer is

mounted to additional board or bulkhead ( ig 5).

• Use 19mm (3/4”) smooth bore reinforced hose to connect to the strainer

with hose clips ( ig 6).

P Clamp

• Secure cable by screwing ‘P’ clamp to bulkhead ensuring it is located

approx. 100 mm (4”) from strainer outlet ( ig 4).

11.iv Electrical Wiring

• or installation use pre-wired Deutsch® connectors (attached).

• If you are not familiar with applicable electrical standards, ensure that the

unit is installed by a qualified electrician/ technician.

WARNING: ire hazard. Wiring must comply with applicable electrical standards and

include a properly rated fuse or circuit breaker. Improper wiring can cause a fire

resulting in injury or death.

NOTE Switch off the power prior to making connections. Suggested wiring information

is given as a guide only. or full information, refer to the USCG, ABYC and ISO

regulations for marine applications and wiring gauges, connectors and fuse protection.

CONNECT POWER CABLES

The polarity is indicated by coloured cable (Positive - red, Negative - black).

The white wire can be connected to a running light to indicate when the system is in

use and / or as a manual override switch.

NOTE The pump is protected against reverse polarity connection (the inline fuse will

blow)

NOTE: Undersized wire in the circuit before the pump will reduce voltage when the

pump is under load, thus giving poor performance and potential motor failure.

• Ensure all power cables installed are at least the minimum wire size -

1.5mm² (16 AWG).

• To control the pump, an isolator switch must be fitted between the

positive live terminal on the battery and the positive lead on the pump.

(See section 11 v)

WARNING Ensure that there are no loops of electrical cable that could be a hazard.

11.v FITTING THE FUSE

use rating for BP2082B (12 V d.c.) pumps 10 Amp automotive.

use rating for BP2084B (24 V d.c.) pumps 5 Amp automotive

The in-line fuse assembly supplied must be fitted to the positive side of the pump.

(see ig 7)

PURPOSE OF FUSE: The purpose of this fuse is to protect the pump from serious

damage in the event of system blockages, therefore please ensure all valves are fully

open before operating the pump.

If the fuse blows:

a) Check that all system valves/stop cocks are open

b) Check that the inlet and outlet ports are not blocked

c) Check that the rest of the system is not blocked

d) Check for reverse polarity connection

Gulper® IC with Strainer IC - Place finger over sensor area to check pump is

activated, remove finger and wait for the pump to stop (45 seconds).

ig 11 Testing Strainer IC

This Whale Gulper® IC is designed to only require minimal maintenance.

WARNING: Before servicing pump, turn off pump and drain water from system.

Annual Checks

• Whale advise that the boat's plumbing system is checked annually for

leaks and obstructions. Also a pump electrics check is advisable.

• Before inspecting or replacing the diaphragm, disconnect the electrical

supply.

Optimal Performance

• Ensure this product is clear of debris

IF THE PUMP IS NOT OPERATING AS E PECTED:-

• Loosen the hose clips to release the pump from plumbing.

• Unscrew the Ezi-clamp clamping ring to release the pump head - see ig

3 - This will release the pump head, and allow easy access to the valves

& diaphragm.

• The diaphragm and valves should be checked for any excessive wear,

damage or cracks, and should be replaced if necessary (service kit

AK2050 - replacement pump head).
