Whale EP1632 Bedienungsanleitung
Thank you for purchasing this Whale® product.
For over 40 years, Whale® has led the way in the design and manufacture of freshwater and waste systems
including: pumps, plumbing faucets, showers for low voltage applications. The company and its products have built a
reputation for quality, reliability and innovation backed up by excellent customer service.
Typical Installation
The Watermaster® IC is designed for use in recreational vehicles to simplify the supply of freshwater to caravans
and motorhomes, where a Whale® High Flow Watermaster® pump is used to supply the taps and showers.
The Watermaster® socket (already installed or available separately) must be mounted so that the rear of the socket
is accessible from within the vehicle.
Ensure at least 30mm clearance below the socket to allow for wiring. Following a “once only” calibration the
Watermaster® IC unit removes the need for adjustment of the pressure switch, removes the requirement to have a
surge damper in the system and switches off the pump when it runs dry. For information on our full product range

The Watermaster® IC is a means of control for the Whale® Watermaster® High Flow system, which allows it to
operate without the need for pressure switch adjustment. It offers three key features, eliminates rapid water pulsation,
ensures that the pump turns off at low battery voltages and in a run-dry situation when the water supply runs out.
This (patent applied for), Intelligent Control is achieved by a pressure switch turning on the pump when the pressure
drops to a low level and the microprocessor turning off the pump at programmed current levels, which are set during
the “one time” calibration process. This calibration process may have to be repeated if the pump is replaced.
Additionally “soft” start/stop control is used to control the pump motor.
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.
To the User:
Please read the following carefully before installation
• Removes the need for adjustment of the pressure switch, and removes the requirement to have a surge
damper or inline pressure switch in the system.
• Watermaster® IC is pre-programmed and must initially be calibrated before use - see Section 6.
• When the system has shut down due to running out of water, reset by turning the pump isolation switch off
and back on after refilling the tank.

1. P INCIPLES OF OPE ATION
• If the battery voltage is very low (8.5V-9.5V), the Watermaster® IC is designed to shut down after
approximately 30 seconds operation to prevent the battery being drained further. Restart the system by
turning the pump isolation switch off and back on. This can be repeated to provide a limited operating mode
but the battery should be recharged as soon as possible.
Please note that Watermaster® IC is designed to work with the Whale® Pressure Switched Socket
ES1001 / ES5001, and with the Whale® High Flow Watermaster® pump kit ON Y, and is not compatible with
other sockets or pump systems
For users with other Whale® or non-Whale® products, their systems may be upgraded to IC by purchase of the
Whale product codes - socket ES1001 / ES5001 and Pump & Watermaster® IC (EP1632).

• Note - If at any stage the user experiences less than optimum performance from the Whale® Watermaster®
IC, recalibrate the system as per steps above in Section 6.
• To obtain efficient running and maximum pump life, ensure the following:
• There is sufficient water in the container.
• Maximum pumping period is not more than 15 minutes.
• All hose connections are firm and water tight.
• The power supply is adequate - low performance could result from a weak battery or
reduced voltage due to undersized wiring (we recommend wiring should be a minimum
thickness of 2.5mm²).
• When replenishing the water supply, it is possible to create an air lock in the pump. As a
result, the pump will run noisily and give no discharge. To remedy, unplug from the socket
while keeping the pump submerged to dislodge the air pocket in the pump. Also shaking the
dual hose gently may dislodge the air pocket in the pump, or switch off pump at main panel,
open a tap outlet and switch pump on again at the main panel.
