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.

It is very important to correctly identify the Type and Version of the instrument for
technical support, or for ordering spare parts. Please include instrument type,
Version, and serial number, and if possible instrument date of commissioning into
any communication.

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 be made
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.

1 Introduction

1.1 General
The OMD-2008 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.

1.2 Instrument Versions and Options

The OMD-2008 is available in different versions. It may be equipped with an
electric switchover valve for clean water usage, and a Flow Sensor. A Manual
Cleaning Unit (MCU) is available as an option. Different instrument versions are
covered in this document. Please verify instrument version on site and refer to
the relevant sections of this manual.

1.2.1 FC (Flow Control)

Some OMD-2008 instruments are equipped with a Flow Sensor. The Flow
Sensor is positioned 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.
OMD-2008 FC instruments have a special interface for the Flow Sensor, so that
the current flow rate can be displayed.

It is possible to have a Flow Switch (similar to the Flow Sensor, but with a simple
ON/OFF output) connected to all versions of OMD-2008.

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH
1.2.2 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 menus, or remotely using
the control input.

1.2.3 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.

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 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”.
Calibration of the instrument is not permitted. According to IMO Regulations a
calibration check has to be done by the manufacturer or persons authorized by
the manufacturer. The recommended way to ensure a properly calibrated
Measuring Cell on board is to exchange the Measuring Cell.

3.3 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. Instrument versions with limited alarm setpoint
range (10ppm, or 5ppm) are available. This alarm setpoint limit can not be
changed.

Adjustment of the alarm setpoints can be done in the programming mode as

described in Section 10.4. 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.

Issue: 25.09.2015 preliminaryInstruction Manual OMD-2008 (All Versions) Page 7 of 28

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH
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 switchover 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.

3.4 Electronic record

The OMD-2008 keeps an electronic record. The recorded data can be viewed at
the instrument at any time. Browsing the data does not interfere with the
measurement or instrument operation. Data is stored in excess of 18 Months.

5 Construction

5.1 Overview
OMD-2008 instruments consist of two main components:

The Computer Unit contains the display PCB with the data logger and the
terminals for external connections.

The Measuring Cell assembly consists of the Measuring Cell, a valve to select
sample water stream, or clean water stream, and, depending on the version of
the instrument, additional devices like a flow sensor.

5.2 Computer Unit

Fig. 2a:
Dimensions of Computer Unit

The Computer Unit contains Display, Power Supply, all external electrical
connection terminals, and Memory Card for electronic record.

The Computer Unit is enclosed in a sheet metal housing, with several openings
for metric cable glands underneath. The Computer Unit should be mounted so
that the display and touch button area is easily accessible.

5.3 Measuring Cell

The measuring cell is built out of an all-aluminium, nickel plated body with inlet
and outlet block from stainless steel. It contains optics and electronics and is
connected with the computer unit via a plugged data cable. The Measuring Cell

Issue: 25.09.2015 preliminaryInstruction Manual OMD-2008 (All Versions) Page 11 of 28

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH
has to be provided with a sufficient sample water stream. It measures the oil
content, and transmits the measured data to the computer unit.

The Measuring Cell has all parameters and calibration data permanently stored,
and the calibration certificate is tied to the Measuring Cell. The recommended
way to renew a calibration is to exchange the Measuring Cell. Under no
conditions should the Measuring Cell be opened or dismantled, doing so would
void both warranty and calibration.

5.4 FW valve
The OMD-2008 uses a switchover valve to control the usage of clean water for
cleaning, or zeroing purposes. Whenever the FW valve is switched to Clean
water position, and not to sample stream position (normal operating position), the
instrument will be in alarm condition.

The valve can be manually operated (OMD-2008), or electrically operated (OMD-

2008 EV). The electric valve can be switched using the programming mode.

5.5 Other devices

Measuring Cell and the valve to switch over from sample water stream to clean
water usage (FW valve) are mounted onto a stainless steel support. The clean
water valve may be a manual switchover valve, or an electric valve, and controls
sample water and clean water usage. A Flow Sensor, or a Manual Cleaning Unit
(MCU) may also be installed.

The OMD-2008 EV-FC can easily be mounted in wall or bulkhead installation.

6 Installation
See Section 2 for important notes concerning installation.

The OMD-2008 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 seconds) 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 seconds.

The instrument has to be provided with a representative sample of the separator

effluent water. A sample stream flow rate of approx. 2 Liters per Minute has to be
provided.

Mount the OMD-2008 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.

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

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH

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.

Issue: 25.09.2015 preliminaryInstruction Manual OMD-2008 (All Versions) Page 15 of 28

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH

7 Piping
The instrument has to be supplied with a representative sample of the separator
effluent water stream. The sample stream through the instrument is
recommended to be approx. 2 Liters per Minute.

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
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

Issue: 25.09.2015 preliminaryInstruction Manual OMD-2008 (All Versions) Page 18 of 28

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH
voltage can be used to supply additional external circuitry, e.g. alarm lamps or
electrical valves.

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

Issue: 25.09.2015 preliminaryInstruction Manual OMD-2008 (All Versions) Page 19 of 28

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH
“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 not recommended.

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. The instrument will be in alarm condition as long as it is
switched to clean water usage.

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.

Issue: 25.09.2015 preliminaryInstruction Manual OMD-2008 (All Versions) Page 20 of 28

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH

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 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) connections have 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 sample stream and clean water stream should be approx. 2 Liters
per Minute. On OMD-2008 FC instruments the flow rate can be read from
the display.

b) On OMD-2008 EV-FC instruments adjust the flow rate through the unit by

LOW FLOW MEDIUM FLOW HIGH FLOW

O-Ring 4.5x2 inside O-Ring 8.5x2 outside Main O-Ring 11.5x3 always present
using the small O-Rings in the cell cap.

Issue: 25.09.2015 preliminaryInstruction Manual OMD-2008 (All Versions) Page 21 of 28

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH
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.

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.

(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 Clean Water 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.

e) If the Zero need to be adjusted, this can be done in the programming

mode as described in section 10.4. (Settings – Offset)

Issue: 25.09.2015 preliminaryInstruction Manual OMD-2008 (All Versions) Page 22 of 28

11 Operating instructions
The OMD-2008 has a manual clean water switchover valve. Whenever ths valve
is not in normal operation position, the instrument will be in alarm condition.

The OMD-2008 EV has an electric switchover valve to switch over from sample
water to clean water. Whenever clean water is used, the instrument will be in
Alarm condition.

The OMD-2008 EV-FC has an additional Flow Sensor to detect the flow rate of
the water through the instrument. If the sample does not flow, the instrument will
be in alarm condition.

The OMD-2008 EV-FC MCU has the Flow Sensor, and additionally it has the
Manual Cleaning Unit.

Instrument start-up sequence:

a) Switch on the power supply.

b) Allow a period of time for water entering the sample tube.

c) Switch the Clean Water Valve to clean water stream and let oil free water
flow through the system for a few minutes. Check that the display shows 0
to 2 ppm. If not, clean Measuring Cell sample Glass Tube properly.

d) Switch the instrument back to sample stream from to the separator

sampling point connection.

e) The instrument is now ready for use.

11.1 Operator Notes

a) When oily water flows through the instrument the display will show the
actual value of oil content.

b) If the oil concentration exceeds the adjusted threshold (works adjustment

15 ppm), the alarm indicator 1 will be illuminated in intervals during the
selected time delay before it changes to steady light and the associated
alarm relay will operate. Accordingly also the alarm indicator 2 will be
illuminated and its associated alarm relay will take the appropriate shut
down action.

c) Correct measurement is only possible if the instrument is maintained in

good working order.

12 Operator Maintenance

12.1 Routine maintenance

a) AT WEEKLY INTERVALS:

b) Flush the cell with oil free water.

c) Stop sample and oil free water flow.

d) Unscrew and remove the cell cap. For instruments equipped with Manual
Cleaning Unit (MCU), unscrew the MCU instead.

e) Insert a suitable Cell Cleaning brush (Art. No. 77555) into the cell and
clean it with upwards and downwards motion through the entire length of
the cell several times.

f) Remove the Cell Cleaning brush and replace the cell cap.

g) Open clean water valve and allow oil free water to flow through the
instrument for a few minutes.

h) Observe that the display is showing "0" to “2”. If not, clean again.

i) Examine the status of the desiccator (Refer to chapter 10.4, Programming

Mode). The Desiccator status display indicates if the desiccator is worn
out and working 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.

Note: 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 Clean Water Valve to SAMPLE setting.

12.2 Manual Cell Clean Unit (MCU)
Optional item if fitted

The Manual Cleaning Unit (MCU) 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 to common fouling mechanisms of the sample tube, and may
allow longer maintenance intervals. The MCU (Order No. 77780) can be installed
at any time.

Vergleichsbild: normale
Kopfschraube

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.

12.3 Additional manual cleaning

Anything that is deposited or located on the surface of the glass tube may
interfere with the measurement. For optimal performance and reliability of the
instrument it is necessary to maintain a cleaned glass tube at all times.

Under normal operating conditions a clean glass tube can be achieved by

following the procedures as described above. Using the Manual Cleaning Unit as
described above can reduce the maintenance work even further, or may allow
operation with low maintenance in more demanding applications.

However, in some cases it is necessary to perform additional cleaning. If an

instrument has been without maintenance for a longer time, if conditions on site
lead to deposition of material inside the glass tube, or generally if the overall
condition of the instrument is to be checked, intensive cleaning is recommended.

Please note that under no conditions, and for no reason whatsoever, it is

necessary or recommended to disassemble the instrument. All cleaning can be
performed through the top opening of the Measuring Cell.

12.4 Indications for need of cleaning

Note: before any attempts to clean the instrument are started, the condition of the
desiccator should be checked! A worn out or saturated desiccator is one of the
most likely causes of unexpected high readings and low instrument performance.

In some 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.

12.5 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!

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.

Clean the glass tube by using the cleaning brush under assistance from some
cleaner.

12.6 Removal of Iron Oxide Layer with Citric Acid
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. Iron Oxide can not be removed mechanically. It is recommended to remove
it chemically.

Iron Oxide can be converted into a water soluble compound using Citric Acid.
Citric Acid is commonly used to remove calcite from Coffee Machines. Fill some
Citric Acid into the drained Sample Glass Tube, add water, and let it soak
overnight (the reaction takes some time). Flush with clean water.

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 Fault finding
See Section 2 for important notes.

The OMD-2008 EV-FC will indicate several malfunctions in the status line of the
display. Pressing the “OK” button will lead into an information window, similar to
the items listed in the table below.

13.1 Memory Card
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.

1: Display PCB 2: Memory Card

Fig. 6

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.

Issue: 25.09.2015 preliminaryInstruction Manual OMD-2008 (All Versions) Page 37 of 28

 DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH
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.
