his electronic bilge switch converts any standard bilge pump to automatic operation. Pump must operate on 12 OR 24 volts D.C. (
see chart).
The switch can be mounted
separately from the pump; it can also attach to a mounting bracket on all
Attwood
Tsunami Series Pumps (4606, 4608, and 4612).
!
W
ARNING:
This product is only intended for use with D.C. voltage systems.
A.C.-to-D.C. converted power sources may cause it to function
incorrectly
.
•
Connecting the brown wire to ground may cause damage to switch.
•
Always disconnect the power source when installing or servicing this product.
•
Always use the fuse amperage rating speci
fi
ed for your
•
pump
model.
IMPORT
ANT
:
Do not allow sealants containing acetic acid – such as silicone rubber – to come in contact with the switch housing.
They can d
amage and crack the plastic, causing the
•
switch to fail. Sealants with acetic acid smell like vinegar
.
If switch sits unpowered for 1 or more years, the 8-10 second power up cycle may run longer than normal for the
fi
rst cycle.
After that it will return to the proper power up time.
•
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Locate electronic switch as close as possible to the bilge pump. If mounting with a
Tsunami Series pump, the back slot on the s
witch may be interlocked with the hook
1.
feature on the pump bracket. Mount switch on the same level or above the inlet of the pump.
With switch in desired mounting position, mark the four mounting holes.
2.
Set depth gauge on drill bit to prevent drilling through hull.
3.
Drill a 1/8” (3 mm) diameter pilot hole at each mark.
Feed wires out side or rear of switch. Fasten switch using #8 Stainless Steel panhead screws. Be sure screws penetrate wood onl
y;
4.
do not screw into the boat hull.
(Figure 1)
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Wire electronic switch and bilge pump as shown in either of the two diagrams. (Figure 2)
The lead wires (16 Ga.) must terminate in a waterproof connection. Mount wires above the highest possible water mark.
Failure to properly fuse and make the appropriate water
-resistant connections will void the product warranty
.
FUNCTIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Once wired properly
, switch will run a test cycle
1.
EACH
time supply power is applied.
This will cause the pump to run 8-10 seconds.
Switch Delay ON
2.
: The switch will turn on once both sensors have 6-8 seconds of constant contact with water
. Splashing water will not turn s
witch on.
As long as water
touches both sensors, pump will remain on.
Switch Delay OFF
3.
: Once the water level drops below the upper sensor
, the of
f timer will begin.
The of
f timer will run for 60 (+/- 10) second
s and will time out.
After 60
seconds the bilge pump will shut of
f.
To
T
est the Switch
4.
: Hold wet rag across upper and lower sensors (see Figure 3) until the pump turns on (6-8 seconds). Remove rag from sensors.
Pump should run for
60 (+/- 10) seconds then shut of
f.
CARE
AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Periodically inspect switch and clear away debris that has accumulated around the switch housing. Periodically check the electr
ical connections to ensure that they are water-
proof and mounted high and dry
. Periodically clean the stainless steel sensors with a rag.
