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 automat-
ically (See Fig 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 Fig 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: Fire 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.
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.
