Grey Waste Tank - Service Kits
The Grey Waste Tank enables the user to manage all grey waste on board easily, through one skin fi tting. The Intelligent Control sensor integrated into the tank lid
provides automatic operation of the grey waste pump. The sensor will detect water in the grey waste tank at a pre-determined level, and will automatically activate the
grey waste pump. When the tank is emptied, the switch will automatically turn the grey waste pump off . The 2 sensor models include a second sensor which can be
used to control a second grey waste pump. It is factory set to activate at a higher water level and will provide additional pumping capacity during periods of high infl ow to
the grey waste tank. Alternatively, the second sensor can be wired to a high level alarm, warning of a high water level within the grey waste tank.
Read the following carefully before installation.
WARNING: Please note that incorrect installation may invalidate warranty.
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. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for claims arising from incorrect installation,
unauthorised modifi cation or misuse of the product.
To the User:
Read the following instructions carefully.
The Grey Waste Tank is designed to collect grey shower waste water. 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 tank and switch are suitable for the intended use and, in particular, that the materials are fully compatible with the liquids to be used. The integrated
Intelligent Control sensor is designed to operate at 12V d.c or 24V d.c. only. The sensor is suitable for use with pumps operating with current up to 20A, and is
recommended for use with Whale Gulper® 220 or Gulper® 320 grey waste pumps.
• 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
that the waste water system is drained before installation.
• The Grey Waste Tank is designed for the storage of grey waste water in recreational marine vessels. Your warranty may be invalidated if the product is used
in other applications or outside the remit of the standards quoted on the packaging/product literature.
• WARNING: Installation must be carried out by a qualifi ed electrician. Improper wiring can cause a fi re resulting in injury or death. Suggested wiring information (Figure
1A and Figure 1B) is given as a guide only, and wiring must comply in accordance with the applicable electrical standards. Appropriate size fuses or circuit breakers
must be installed.
