IMPORTANT NOTICE
Replacement components for 15ppm Bilge Alarms.
General
All monitors in our range are inspected and tested to the related I.M.O. requirements at
our factories prior to delivery.
In normal use the units should operate correctly and without fault over a long period of
time requiring only small amounts of maintenance to be carried out as outlined in the
instruction manuals.

Service Exchange Units

In the event of a monitor malfunction due to electrical or electronic component failure it
is our recommendation that a service exchange unit be ordered.
The defective instrument should be returned to our works within 30 days of supplying
the service exchange unit, then only the repair charge is payable. Otherwise the whole
cost of a service exchange unit becomes payable.
This procedure is by far the easiest and most cost effective way of ensuring the monitor
on board conforms to I.M.O. resolution MEPC.107(49).

Remark:
According the MEPC.107(49) § 4.2.11 the unit has to be checked at IOPP Certificate
renewal survey by the manufacturer or persons authorized by the manufacturer.
Alternatively the unit may be replaced by a calibrated 15 ppm Bilge Alarm.
The OMD-2008 EVFC is designed in that way, that only the measuring cell needs to be
changed, as this unit carries the Calibration Certificate. The Calibration Certificate with
the date of the last calibration check should be retained onboard for inspection
purposes.

If for some reasons the computer unit needs to be changed, it has to make sure, that
the memory card will remain on board for at least 18 month. The new computer unit will
carry its own memory card. The old card can be insert into the new unit only for reading.
Writing is only possible with the card delivered with the new computer unit. For details
see section 13.1.

Warranty
Our warranty terms are12 months after installation but maximum 18 months after
delivery ex works. The maker undertakes to remedy any defect resulting from faulty
materials of workmanship except wearing parts.
The maker's obligation is limited to the repairs or replacement of such defective parts by
his own plant or one of his authorized service stations.
The purchaser shall bear the cost and risk of transport of defective parts and repaired
parts supplied in replacement of such defective parts.

ANY DISMANTLING OR BREAKING OF A SEAL WILL VOID THE WARRANTY

1 Introduction
The OMD-2008 EV-FC Bilge Alarm Unit has been designed specifically for use in
conjunction with 15 ppm oil-water separator units and has a specification and
performance which exceeds the requirements of the International Maritime
Organization specifications for 15ppm Bilge Alarms contained in Resolution
MEPC. 107 (49).
The unit is supplied with 2 works-adjusted alarms at 15 ppm. Other set points
(10 ppm or 5 ppm) are possible and can be adjusted on site at any time by using
the buttons at the front panel.
Instruments with maximum Alarm set-points of 10 ppm or 5 ppm respectively are
available.
If an alarm set point is exceed, the alarms are visible at the front panel and the
appropriate relays are switched. In case of malfunction the System LED at the
front panel will change from blinking green to permanent red.
For the data logging function the unit requires a status input from the separator.
A 0(4) - 20 mA (equal to 0 - 30 ppm) signal output is available for driving a
recorder or external meter.
The OMD-2008 EV-FC is be equipped with an electric switchover valve for clean
water usage and a Flow Sensor. A Manual Cleaning Unit is available as an
option (MCU). Different instrument versions are covered in this document. Please
verify instrument version on site and refer to the relevant sections of this manual.

3 Principle of operation

3.1 Measuring Principle

An optical sensor array measures a combination of light scattered and absorbed
by oil droplets in the sample stream. The sensor signals are processed by a
microprocessor to produce linearized output.
If an alarm (works set point 15 ppm, or 10 ppm or 5 ppm respectively) occurs, the
two oil alarm relays are activated after the adjusted time delay.
The microprocessor continuously monitors the condition of the sensor
components and associated electronics to ensure that calibration accuracy is
maintained over time and extremes of environmental conditions.

3.2 Features
 Robust construction
 Solid suppression capability
 Low maintenance
 Easy installation
 Constant readiness
 Low spare part stock holding
 Works adjustment
 Easy settings via menu

3.3 Adjustment
The unit is delivered with a works calibration according the IMO-requirements.
The alarm points are set to 15 ppm (or 10 ppm, or 5 ppm for certain versions).
The "Zero" point is also works calibrated and can be re-adjusted on site by using
the programming mode and clean water. See Section 10.4 “Settings-Offset”. A
calibration is not permitted. This has to be done according IMO Regulations by
the manufacturer or persons authorized by the manufacturer.

3.4 Displays and Alarms

In the unit there are two independent oil alarm circuits available. Both can be set
separately from 1 to 15 ppm. From the manufacturing both alarms are set to
15 ppm (according IMO). The set points can be changed according to the
requirements on site, for example to 10 ppm or 5 ppm. An alarm point setting
above 15 ppm is not possible. The adjustment can be done in the programming
mode as described in Section 10.4.

Issue: 08.07.2015 Instruction Manual OMD-2008 (EV, FC, MCU Versions) Page 4 of 28

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH

In this mode also the individual adjustment of the time delays for the alarms can
be done.
Both alarm circuits are also related to an alarm LED on the front panel.
In case of malfunction the “System” LED will indicate any type of internal fault of
the unit. This LED is flashing green in normal conditions and is red in alarm
conditions.
Additional to the alarm LEDs each alarm circuit is equipped with a relay with
potential free alarm contacts. These contacts can be used for external processing
of the signal or for control of further functions.
If a malfunction or failure of the power supply occurs, all three relays (both alarm
relays and the SYSTEMFAULT relay) will switch to alarm condition.

3.5 FC (Flow Control)

OMD-2008 EV-FC instruments are equipped with a Flow Sensor. The Flow
Sensor is connected in the Drain line of the Measuring Cell. If the flow rate
through the Measuring Cell is too low, or if the sample is not flowing at all, the
Instrument will go to Alarm condition and issue a “Status: Flow?” message.

3.6 EV (Electric clean water Valve)

OMD-2008 EV instruments are equipped with an electric switchover valve for the
clean water stream. The valve can be controlled via the menues, or remotely
using the control input.

3.7 MCU (Manual Cleaning Unit)

Optionally the instruments can be fitted with a Manual Cleaning Unit. The Manual
Cleaning Unit allows to clean the sample glass tube without opening the
Measuring Cell Head Screw, and without interrupting the normal sample flow.
Maintenance is made easier with the MCU. Please note that operating the MCU
may set the instrument to alarm condition for a few seconds.

6 INSTALLATION (REFER TO FIG. 2 AND FIG. 3)

See Section 2 for important notes concerning installation.
The OMD-2008 EV-FC Monitor should be located as close as possible to the oily
water separator to minimize response delays. According MEPC.107(49) the
layout of the installation should be arranged so that the overall response time
(including the response time of the 15 ppm Bilge Alarm, which is less than 5 s.)
between an effluent discharge from the 15 ppm Bilge Separator exceeding 15
ppm, and the operation of the Automatic Stopping Device preventing overboard
discharge, should be as short as possible and in any case not more than 20 s.
Mount the OMD-2008 EV-FC Computer Unit by means of M6 or M8 screws on to
a rigid vertical surface and preferably with the display panel of the monitor at eye
level. For service and maintenance sufficient space to all sides should be
available.

Fig. 2a: Dimensions of Computer Unit

Computer Unit and Measuring Cell assembly should be mounted close to each
other.

Fig. 2b Dimensions of Measuring Cell assembly

Pipe connections are prepared for 6mm OD stainless steel or coper pipes.
Adapter fittings for other pipe diameters are available upon request. Working
space for maintenance and operation is recommended in front of and above the
instrument.
Care must be taken at mounting of the pipes connections to avoid any torsion of
the housing and damage of the instrument.

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH

7 Piping (REFER TO FIG. 3)

Connect the OMD-2008 EV-FC Monitor to the sample point of the oily-water
separator outlet and to a source of oil free water. Fittings on the Instrument are
for 6 mm OD copper or stainless steel pipe. Adapter fittings for other pipe
diameters are available upon request.
The sample point should be located on a vertical section of the separator outflow
piping to minimize the effects of any entrained air. The tapping point should be at
a level above the outlet of the monitor to ensure the sample cell is flooded at all
times.
If connection to a vertical section of the separator outlet piping is impractical, the
tapping may be made into the side of the horizontal pipe. Avoid top or bottom
entry.
For separator discharge pipes up to 75 mm OD a standard "T"-type junction of
the welded or screwed type is satisfactory for the tapping point. For the separator
discharge pipes of 80 mm OD and above a sample probe should be employed
which protrudes into the discharge piping by approx. 25 % of the ID of the pipe.

8 Wiring (REFER TO FIG. 4 + 5)

See Section 2 for important notes concerning wiring.
This unit must be connected to the mains supply via a suitable rated and
approved fused isolator unless such fusing / isolation is provided by associated
equipment. When fitted, the isolator should be close, readily accessible and
marked as to function.
Electrical connections are made through the metric cable gland openings
prepared underneath the instrument. Not all openings may be free.

Fig. 4

Precise wiring details will vary dependent upon the control system to be
employed but the most frequently used systems employ alarm relay 1 for alarm
only and alarm relay 2 for control purposes.
Electrical connections are made to the terminal blocks inside the computer
housing. Wires are connected to the terminals by pushing a suitable screwdriver
into the clamp holes to release the internal spring loaded clamps. After the wire is
inserted to the terminal and the screwdriver is removed, the wire is fixed.
If the instrument is operated at high voltages, additional care has to be taken to
provide reliable ground connections. Ground (PE) can be connected direct to the
terminal or, if this is not sufficient according local rules, to the computer housing
(PE bolt inside, right side).
The instrument provides a pilot voltage output at Terminals 3&4. This is internally
connected to the power supply input (Terminals 1&2 via Fuse T2A). The pilot
voltage can be used to supply additional external circuitry, e.g. alarm lamps or
electrical valves.

Issue: 08.07.2015 Instruction Manual OMD-2008 (EV, FC, MCU Versions) Page 11 of 28

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH

Please note: any device connected to the pilot voltage output must be rated for
the voltage the instrument is supplied with. Do not use the pilot voltage for driving
motors, heaters or other high load devices. The pilot voltage is intended for alarm
purposes only.

Fig. 5: Connection Example

Close front cover completely after electrical installation. Water inside the
instrument may result in corrosion and malfunction. Alarm contacts description is
in alarm (non-energized) condition.
Note: In case the OMD-2008 EV-FC is installed as replacement to a
MEPC.60(33) approved separator and no “Status Separator” signal is available, a
link across terminal 11 + 12 can be installed. Alternatively a “Status Separator”
signal can be generated from the Separator control, and an auxiliary relay be
operated with this signal. The Contacts of this relay then can operate the
“STATUS” input. Please refer to the Separator manual, or contact the separator
maker for information regarding the separator.

8.1 Typical Control System

The installation on site has to make sure that in case of any loss of power supply
and/or loss of air supply for the automatic stopping device the overboard
discharge valve close the overboard line and open the re-circulating line.
The system showed in the example, employs alarm relay 2 to control a
pneumatic solenoid valve which energises or de-energises a pneumatically
operated 3 - way valve as depicted in Fig. 5.
The separation process will continue until such time as the pollution level falls
below the alarm set point at which time the discharge will be directed overboard.
A pump stop system is according MEPC.107 (49) not allowed.

8.2 Remote EV Electric Valve control

It is possible to remotely control the EV valve. Connect a switch to Terminals
19&20. If the Terminals are connected (linked trough the switch) the EV valve will
switch to clean water. If the Terminals are open/disconnected, the EV valve will
switch to sample stream.

9 Power Supply
See Section 2 for important notes.
The unit is designed for a power supply of 24 V to 240 V AC or DC. It has an
automatic voltage selection. The power supply must have a fuse rated no more
then 2A.

10 Commissioning
See Section 2 for important notes.
On completion of the installation, wiring and piping carry out the following checks:

10.1 Electrical and Piping

a) Check that the power supply is connected to the terminals 1 + 2 of the
terminal block.
b) Check that the wiring of the automatic stopping device (back-to-bilge valve)
and to the alarm system is according the IMO Requirements.
c) Check that the grounding (PE) has been made according to the relevant
regulations.
d) Check all piping connections for leaks and rectify as appropriate

10.2 Flow rate adjustment

a) Run oil free water through the instrument to purge the system. Measure the
amount of water flowing through the instrument per Minute. Flow rate for both
smaple stream and clean water stream should be approx. 2 Liters per Minute.
b) On OMD-2008 EV-FC instruments adjust the flow rate through the unit by
using the small O-Rings in the cell cap.

LOW FLOW MEDIUM FLOW HIGH FLOW

O-Ring 4.5x2 inside O-Ring 8.5x2 outside Main O-Ring 11.5x3 always present

NB: The flow rate should be checked on both, the clean water supply and the separator sample
supply. If the clean water supply is obtained from a high pressure source, the flow rate will be
higher than from the sample point.

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH

The flow rate adjustment is important for the time delay between the sample
point and the monitor. If the sample flow rate is too small, the instrument will
be in Alarm and display “Status: Flow”.
On instruments fitted with Manual Cleaning Unit
(OMD-2008 EV-FC MCU), sample a higher or a
lower flow rate can be adjusted. To get the
higher flow rate, remove the smaller O-Ring
(9.5x2) from the Manual Cleaning Unit.

10.3 Functional Tests

a) Run oil free water through the instrument to purge the system
b) Verify that the water is flowing with the proper flow rate trough the instrument.
c) Switch on the instrument and make sure, that the Power LED is illuminated
and the display is
showing the
initializing display for
about 15 sec. After
that time it will
change to the
standard display, showing the actual measurement.
d) Switch the Electric Valve to clean water. While oil free water is running
through the monitor check the Zero adjustment. The display should be "0" to
“2” and the status will show “FW”. If the display varies by greater amounts, it
may be that air entrainment is present. If this is the case, the cause must be
located and rectified.
f) If the Zero need to be adjusted, this can be done in the programming mode as
described in section 10.4. (Settings – Offset)
g) If the flow rate is not sufficient, the instrument will display “Status: Flow”. Both
sample flow rate and clean water flow rate are recommended to be approx.

insufficient. If the desiccator status is any other then OK, the desiccator should
be replaced. Additionally, the Measuring Cell Dew Point Temperature can be
checked. The Dew Point Temperature should be below 0°C, otherwise the
desiccator needs to be exchanged.
Insufficient desiccator performance could result in condensation inside the
measuring cell and wrong measurement and/or damage to optical
components. Desiccator can easily be exchanged. Just unscrew the
desiccator, replace the desiccator with a new one (Art. No. 79550). Make sure
to close the desiccator cap properly. Allow the new desiccator some time to
absorb the humidity inside the measuring cell. Please note that a desiccator
package should never be opened unless it is installed immediately.
j) Switch electric valve to SAMPLE setting.

12.1 Manual Cell Clean Unit (MCU) DH 77780

Optional item if fitted
This unit facilitates cleaning of the cell without the need of removing the cell cap.
Regular use of this device should prevent malfunction of the monitor due simply
to fouling of the sample tube and all the inconvenience which this can cause.

Operating Instructions
a) Ensure that there is a clean water supply through the cell.
b) Activate the manual cell clean unit by pressing the handle several times.
c) Check the reading is between 0 to 2 ppm.
d) Repeat a) to c) at least once a week or as necessary.
e) Additional conventional cleaning with the cleaning brush may be necessary.
NB: The Manual Cell Clean Unit may also be used during normal operation with
sample water, but in this case an alarm occurs because the wiper is passing the
light source.

Important Information!
Cleaning of Glass Tube at 15 ppm Bilge Alarms OMD-2008 series

IMPORTANT:
NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE UNITS AS THIS MAY VOID THE
CALIBRATION AND THE CERTIFICATION!

CLEANING HAS ONLY TO BE DONE TROUGH THE REMOVED CELL CAP BY

USING THE CLEANING BRUSH!

In most cases of high reading with clean water the measuring cell has a problem with
internal coating of the glass tube. Just cleaning with brush and clean water will not help
in this case.
Please carry out the following instructions to make sure, that the glass tube is really
clean. Then the unit will show 0 to 2 ppm with clean water.

Check Measuring cell humidity readings and desiccator status. Desiccator status must
be OK and dewpoint should be considerably lower then both sample temperature and
clean water temperature. If not, change desiccant container and allow new desiccator to
absorb the humidity inside the measuring cell.
Clean the glass tube by using the cleaning brush under assistance from some cleaner.
In certain cases iron oxide can be deposited inside the glass tube (brownish surface
deposit on the glass tube), depending on environmental conditions on site. In this case
some citric acid, juice from a fresh lemon may help, if you fill it into the glass tube and
leave it at least over night before using the cleaning brush for removing the last dirt from
the glass tube. Also, in cases of calceous deposits in the glass tube, treatment with
some mild acidic cleaner, citric acid, may allow removal of the deposits. Make sure, that
the cleaning fluid will stay in the tube and is not draining. Sometimes the cleaning with
citric acid has to be done 2 or 3 times for at least 12 hours, depending on the thickness
of the coating.
Additional use of tooth paste may also assist in cleaning as a last resort. Do not use
abrasive cleaners containing hard particles. Hard abrasive particles may scratch the
glass surface, permanently damaging the instrument.

13.1 Memory Card (refer to Fig. 6)

The Memory Card is on the backside of the Display PCB inside the computer
housing. It is suitable for the life of the instrument, as it is calculated according
MEPC 107(49) to the required storage time of at least 18 month. When the card
is completely used, the oldest entry will be overwritten, so that a replacement is
not necessary. Under normal use the card should not be taken out, as this is
linked with the specific system. The card can be read in other OMD-2008 units,
but writing is only possible in the related system.

If no Memory Card is mounted or a card from another system is mounted, the

unit will be in alarm condition.

14 Calibration
15 ppm Bilge Alarms built according MEPC.107(49) have to be protected against
access beyond the checks of instrument drift, repeatability of the instrument
reading and zero adjustment. For this reason the instrument is electronically
sealed, so that only the manufacturer or his authorized persons, equipped with
the related tools, are able to get access for changing the calibration.
To provide a simple procedure to check the instrument aboard ship, the OMD-
2008 EV-FC is constructed in that way, that the zero check also confirms the
instrument drift within the specifications.

14.1 Calibration and repeatability check

a) Switch off the power supply and stop any water flow.
b) Clean the sample tube accurately by using a suitable cell cleaning brush as
described under Section 12.0. Make sure, that the offset is correct at ± 0.
c) Run clean water through the instrument.
d) If it is sure, that non aerated, clean water is in the instrument, the reading
should be 0 ppm ± 2 ppm.
e) Continue as described under Section 11.0.
Note § 4.2.11 of MEPC. 107(49):
The accuracy of the 15 ppm Bilge Alarms should be checked at IOPP
Certificate renewal surveys according to the manufacturers
instructions. Alternatively the unit may be replaced by a
calibrated 15 ppm Bilge Alarm. The calibration certificate for
the 15 ppm Bilge Alarm, certifying date of last calibration
check, should be retained onboard for inspection purposes. The
accuracy checks can only be done by the manufacturer or persons
authorized by the manufacturer.

14.2 Function Test at Classification Survey and Port State Control

All 15 ppm Bilge Alarms leaving our works are calibrated according the
requirements with an accuracy of better than +/- 5 ppm within the measuring
range. The alarm points are pre-set to 15 ppm (or 5 ppm for instruments limited
to 5 ppm), and can only be changed to a lower value on site. A setting to a higher
value is not possible.

To provide a simple procedure for check the instrument aboard ship, the OMD-
2008 EV-FC is constructed in that way, that the zero check also confirms the
instrument drift within the specifications. The Test button starts a self test routine
and allows to put both alarms contacts into alarm condition. The instrument will
count down from an assumed high reading (30ppm) downwards until the
assumed value is equal to the actual measured ppm value. Note that this test will
only switch the alarm contacts to non-alarm condition, if the sample contains less
than 15ppm oil content and all other conditions for proper measurement are OK.
