Blue guard Bg-one User manual

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The BG-One is an electronic oil and fuel detector with smart bilge pump switch that uses patented technology to detect the presence of oil or fuel and

integrates with the bilge pump system. Pump power is controlled by the BG-One. If oil or fuel is detected, the BG-One will prevent pumping the oil out

of the bilge by turning the pump power OFF. If water or other liquid is detected, the pump will be turned ON. The BG-One is CE and ISO 8846 Marine

Ignion Protecon Cered, tested to ABYC-1500 standards.

There are three modes that are available in the BG-One which are congured using the BGI Cong App, which can be downloaded from the App Store or

Google Play. The App is used on a mobile device with Bluetooth to wirelessly connect to the BG-One device. The App allows selecon of the operang

mode and will report the input voltage level, system temperature alarm state, and pump switch state. The BGI Cong App also allows changing the name of

the device for easy idencaon. The App can only congure the device in the rst minute that it is powered up.

INSTALLATION

The BG-One is designed for mounng near the bilge pump in a vessel.

It should be mounted approximately 2” above the bilge pump outlet as

shown in the Blue Guard Installaon Guide. A mounng bracket and three

#8x0.75” 316 stainless steel screws are provided to allow mounng to a

vercal or horizontal structure.

If the device is mounted on the boom of the hull of the vessel the

strainer should be mounted rst and then the main unit aached.

The Blue Guard Installaon Guide shows the wiring for all supported

conguraons. All wiring connecons are made using heavy-duty 14

gauge marine grade wire. All wiring should be done by a licensed

electrician following NEC code.

INSTALL STEPS:

1) Locate proper mounng locaon for the BG-One, near the bilge pump

and approximately 2” above the pump outlet.

2) Install mounng bracket to bulkhead using two #8x0.75” 316 stainless

steel screws provided*.

3) Aach the BG-One into bracket with product label facing up, and wiring

close to bracket.

4) Run wiring to BG-JBox, BG-CP, bilge pump, and baery depending on

the installaon chosen from the Blue Guard Installaon Guide. Secure

the wiring. It is recommended that connecons to the BG-JBox be

made using 14 AWG crimp spade lugs at the ends of the wires.

5) Apply power to the system.

6) Connect to the BG-One using the BGI Cong App, set the Mode if not

using Mode A (Marina). The App can be used to view the system

parameters at any me, but the user must connect within one minute of

powering on the BG-One device to congure it.

*The BG-One can also be mounted on the hull using three #8x0.75” 316 stainless steel screws.

Mount the strainer rst, then aach the BG-One into place.

WIRING DESCRIPTION

Auto Power (Orange Wire) — System Power In (Can be supplied on either the Auto or Manual wire): If power is supplied to the Auto wire, the BG-One

mode of operaon will control the voltage on the Bilge Pump Power (Brown Wire). Supports 12 or 24 Vdc power system.

Manual Power (Red Wire) — System Power In (Can be supplied on either the Auto or Manual wire): If power is supplied to the Manual wire, the BG-One

will energize the Pump Power (Brown Wire). Supports 12 or 24 Vdc power system.

Bilge Pump Power (Brown Wire) — Pump Power Output: Connect to Bilge Pump power. Note: The voltage supplied on this line is the same as the voltage

provided into the BG-One on the Auto or Manual Power line. Max current sourced is 20 amps.

Alarm (Yellow Wire) — Alarm Output: Transions from 0 Vdc to the voltage supplied on the Auto or Manual lines when oil is detected in Mode A (Marina),

Mode B (Marine Sanctuary), and Standard Mode (High Seas). The output supplies up to 1 amp current. Be careful not to connect devices that have a high

inrush current that exceeds 1 amp or permanent damage to the unit may occur.

Ground (Black Wire) — Ground Return: Connect to system ground per Blue Guard Installaon Guide.

MAINTENANCE

Periodically check the base of the unit to ensure that no foreign material is stuck inside the sensor poron of the unit.

If salt has built up on the sensor poron, rinse with fresh water to clean.

When oil is detected in the bilge, the leak should be repaired and the bilge should be cleared of oil as a part of praccing prudent seamanship. Aer the

user of the boat has cleared the bilge of oil, the boom of the BG-One’s sensor should be wiped with a so clean cloth to remove the oil or fuel residue. If

any further cleaning is required, use rubbing alcohol followed by wiping with a so clean cloth.
