Product catalog summary
Overview
The BG-One is an oil and fuel detector integrated with a smart bilge pump switch designed to prevent oil or fuel spills by selectively pumping out water. It is compatible with 12 or 24 Vdc bilge pumps and alarm panels, and is certified to CE and ISO 8846 Marine Ignition Protection standards.

How It Works
The device detects oil and fuel with high accuracy (down to 1 mm) and operates in three modes: Mode A (Marina), Mode B (Marine Sanctuary), and Standard Mode (High Seas). These modes control the pump's operation based on the presence of water, oil, or fuel, with settings adjustable via the BGI Config App.

Reliability
Constructed with IP-68 rated, non-corrosive ABS plastic, the BG-One includes a heavy-duty mounting bracket and marine-grade wiring for durability and reliability. It features two integrated sensors for accurate detection.

Features
  • Oil and fuel detection down to 1 mm.
  • Smart bilge pump switch with automatic shut-off in the presence of oil or fuel.
  • Bluetooth connectivity for configuration via the BGI Config App.
  • Alarm output of 12 or 24 Vdc, 1 amp max.
  • Operating voltage of 12 or 24 Vdc, with a max current of 20 amps.

Specifications
  • Durability: IP-68 rated, ABS plastic housing.
  • Operating temperature: Full functionality from 32°F to 158°F (0°C to 70°C); operational from -22°F to 185°F (-30°C to 85°C).
  • Size: 4.6 in x 2.0 in without bracket; 5.9 in x 4.6 in x 2.0 in with bracket.
  • Certification: CE & ISO 8846, tested to ABYC-1500 standards.

Smart Switch Modes of Operation
  • Mode A (Marina): Activates pump with water, deactivates with oil/fuel, reactivates with water.
  • Mode B (Marine Sanctuary): Activates with water, deactivates with oil/fuel, remains off until cleared.
  • Standard Mode (High Seas): Activates for any liquid.

Wiring
The system uses a five-wire setup with heavy-duty 14 gauge marine-grade wires, including controls for pump auto and manual operation, supply negative, and oil detect alarm.

BG-One Oil and Fuel Detector with Smart Bilge Pump Switch SPEC SHEET OVERVIEW About The BG-One (Oil and Fuel Detector with Smart Bilge Pump Switch) integrates with the bilge pump system to selectively pump out water and not oil or fuel, preventing the vessel from accumulating water and aiding in the prevention of costly oil or fuel spills. The BG-One was developed in collaboration with the marine industry needing a reliable, long lasting bilge pump switch. Having no moving parts or float switches that can easily be damaged, the BG-One will automatically turn off the bilge pump when oil or fuel is detected before a costly spill occurs. The BG-One will connect to any 12 or 24 Vdc bilge pump and alarm panel on the market today. The BG-One is CE and ISO 8846 Marine Ignition Protection Certified, tested to ABYC-1500 standards. Patented technology. How It Works With precise oil and fuel detection accuracy down to 1 mm (0.04 in), the BG-One minimizes the boat owners’ liability for costly cleanup and possible fines; all while extending the life and reliability of the bilge pump through selective pumping. When the sensor is configured in its factory default mode, Mode A (Marina), the pump will turn ON when water is detected and turn OFF when oil or fuel is detected. The pump will turn back ON when only water is detected. In Mode B (Marine Sanctuary) the pump will turn ON when water is detected and turn OFF when oil or fuel is detected. The pump will remain OFF until the alarm and bilge is cleared (requires power cycling of device). In Standard Mode (High Seas) the pump will turn ON when any liquid is detected and turn OFF when there is no liquid detected. Set low, medium, or high oil detection sensitivity via the BGI Config App. Set the pump run time after water and oil detection via the BGI Config App. Reliability With IP-68 rated durability, the BG-One is made with rugged, non-corrosive ABS plastic. The sensor comes with a heavy-duty mounting bracket to attach to a bulkhead or frame with #8x0.75” 316 stainless steel screws. Heavy-duty 14 gauge marine grade wires connect the BG-One to the bilge pump and the BG-JBox (Junction Box) that should be mounted high on a bulkhead, keeping the connections dry and reliable. The BG-One has two integrated sensors to ensure a reliable and accurate detection
