3. PRINCIPALS OF OPERATION

IC - Intelligent Control Technology

At the heart of every Whale® IC product lies innovative electronic control circuitry built in. This sensor technology is built into Orca Auto 1300 and means no separate bilge switch is required.

Orca Auto 1300

The Orca Auto 1300 is an automatic submersible bilge pump for use in marine vessels. Output capacity depends on installation and operating conditions.

4. TO THE USER

Read the following instructions carefully.

5. TO THE FITTER

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.

6. APPLICATION

Orca Auto 1300 is designed for installation in recreational marine vessels only and operated on 12V d.c. (BE1482) or 24 V d.c. (BE1484) 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 Orca Auto 1300 is not recommended for domestic applications.

The Orca Auto is recommended to have a Duty Cycle of 60%

7. WARNINGS

• NOTE The outlet must not be mounted below the water line.
- This pump is 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. 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. This pump must be mounted on a bulkhead or on an additional board.
• WARNING: Fire 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. Switch off the power while making connections.

Suggested wiring information is given as a guide only. For full information, refer to the USCG, ABYC and ISO regulations for marine applications and wiring gauges, connectors and fuse protection.

9. INSTALLATION

NOTE: Incorrect installation will invalidate warranty

Preparation - Always disconnect power sources before installation.

9.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.

9.ii Mounting Instructions

• To remove pump body, place hand over body, depress locking tabs (eyes) and lift body from strainer base (Figure 1). NOTE: Motor will be removed with body
- Use base as template to mark 3 mounting holes in mounting pad.
- Drill 1/8" (3mm) pilot holes. NOTE: do not drill through hull; ensure that the Orca is mounted securely to additional board or bulkhead.
- Use 25mm (1") or 28mm (1 1/8") smooth bore reinforced hose to connect to the strainer with hose clips.
- Replace base. Attach with #8 stainless steel fasteners (supplied).
- Re-attach pump body to base. Insert body into strainer base, until base tabs snap into holes.

9.iii Plumbing

For optimal performance: The hose must rise continually upward to the thru-hull connector with no dips or sharp bends. Hose support clips should be used at regular intervals where necessary.

• Orientate the pump outlet for a direct path to the hull connector ensuring an unobstructed hose path.
• Secure all connections with hose clamps.
• If no thru-hull connector exists, install at 12" (25mm) minimum height above water line. Apply marine sealant around thru-hull flanges on interior and exterior of hull.

9.iv Electrical Wiring

Ensure all wire connections are at the highest level above water. Use marine grade wire connectors only and 16 AWG tinned copper wire. Waterproof all connections

with suitable materials (see figure 3).

• Connect positive (+) brown and white stripe wire to the automatic side of the switch.
• Connect negative (-) black wire to ground.
• Connect yellow crimp to manual side of switch. DO NOT disconnect the brown and white solid wires from the yellow crimp.
  • Install a fuse holder within 72" (183cm) of the positive (+) battery terminal.
• To test system, feed water into the pump. If flow rate appears low, ensure wires are connected properly:

NOTE - Reversed wiring reduces performance and can cause pump failure.

- If you are not familiar with applicable electrical standards, ensure that the unit is installed by a qualified electrician/ technician.

WARNING: Fire 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. For full information, refer to the USCG, ABYC and ISO regulations for marine applications and wiring gauges, connectors and fuse protection.

9.v FITTING THE FUSE

Fuse rating for BE1482 (12V d.c.) pumps - 7.5 Amp automotive. Fuse rating for BE1484 (24V d.c.) pumps - 5 Amp automotive

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

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.

1. TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM POSSIBLE	CAUSES POTENTIAL SOLUTION
Pump runs but does not pump water / pulses	Hose may have blockage or airlock	Clear the hose of any blockages and ensure that outlet hose runs upward to the thru-hull connector, with no dips
	Impeller may be restricted	Remove pump housing from base. Remove debris from chamber and impeller. Ensure that the impeller is firmly attached to shaft and is not cracked or broken
Pump does not run Blown fuse		Ensure electrical connections and fuse are waterproof and have not loosened
Motor speed variation when running dry	Some variation is normal but ensure that the yellow crimp has not been removed or that the brown and white wires have been shortened (normally 1m long)
The fuse blows	a) Check that all system valves/stop cocks are openb) Check that the inlet and outlet ports are not blockedc) Check that the rest of the system is not blockedd) Check for reverse polarity connection
