1.5. Adjustment
The Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24 is delivered with a works calibration according the
IMO-requirements.
The "Zero" point is also works calibrated and can be re-adjusted on site by using the
programming mode and clean water. See sections 5.3 / 5.6. “Settings-Offset”.
The calibration is not permitted. This has to be done according IMO Regulations by
the manufacturer or persons authorized by the manufacturer.
The lower the value of the alarm circuit 1 is adjusted, the shorter
Information is the life time of the adsorber cartridges.
The adjustment can be done in the programming mode as described in section 5.6
“Programming Mode”.
In this mode also the individual adjustment of the time delays for the alarms (both
alarm circuits are set to two seconds ex works) and the change between 0 - 20 mA or
4 - 20 mA output can be done.
Both alarm circuits are also related with a LED on the front panel.
In case of malfunction the “System” LED will indicate any type of internal fault of the
Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24. This LED is flashing green in normal condition and is
permanent red in alarm condition. Additional to the alarm LED's each alarm circuit is
equipped with a relay with potential free alarm contacts. These contacts are used for
processing in the OWS control unit.
If a malfunction or failure of the power supply occurs, both relays will switch to alarm
condition.
Both components are normally mounted on to the oily water separator from 0,25 m3
up to 10,0 m3. It is also possible to split the computer unit from the measuring cell if
the available space is not sufficient. For this version divided mounting plates are
available.

5. Operation
5.1. Important Notes
a) This equipment must be installed and operated in strict accordance with the in-
structions contained in this manual. Failure to do so will impair the safety and the
life time of the device.
b) Installation and servicing must be undertaken by a competent and suitably skilled
person.
c) Before the execution of maintenance work make sure that the power supply is in-
terrupted.
d) All national or local codes of practice or regulations must be observed and, where
applicable, are deemed to take precedence over any directive or information con-
tained in this manual.
e) To avoid wrong measurements, only quick separating detergents / cleaner should
be used.
f) In case of freezing conditions the measuring cell should be emptied complete.
5.2. Commissioning
Once the installation and wiring connections have been completed, check if all
electrical wiring is done perfectly and that all mechanical connections are correct and
seated properly, carry out the following checks:
a) Switch the oily water separator to „ON“. Check whether the Power LED lights up.
Check the power supply to the oily water separator if necessary.
b) Check that the power supply is connected to the terminals 1 + 2 of the terminal
block.
c) Check the wiring of the automatic stopping device and to the alarm system is ac-
cording the IMO Requirements.
d) Check that the grounding has been made according to the relevant regulations.
e) Check all piping connections for leaks and rectify as appropriate.
b) This is only information for you. It will be done by at RWO for your
OWS. The flow rate through the unit by using the small O-Rings in the cell cap.

The flow rate should
be checked on both, LOW FLOW MEDIUM FLOW HIGH FLOW

obtained from a high
pressure source, the
flow rate will be higher

point.
The flow rate is not influencing the accuracy of the instrument. The adjustment
is only important for the time delay between the sample point and the monitor.
c) Switch on the OWS and make sure, that the Power LED of the OMD 24 is illumi-
nated and the display is
showing the initial display for
about 15 sec. After that time it
will change to the standard
display, showing the actual
measurement value.
d) During oil free water is flowing through the Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24 check
the Zero standard adjustment according section 5.6 “Programming Mode”. The
display should be between "0" to “2” and the status will show “FW”. If the display
varies by greater values, it may be that air bubbles are present. If this is the
case, the cause must be identified and avoided.
e) If "Zero" need to be adjusted, this can be done in the programming mode as de-
scribed in section 5.6 “Programming Mode”.
5.4. Alarm
Please note for better understanding:
in alarm status the position of the alarm switch is open (potential-free,
Information de-energised)
if the power supply is interrupted or the system is not in service, the
position of the alarm switch is also in alarm position open, (poten-
tial-free, de-energised)
The alarm circuit will be closed as soon as the main switch of the
OWS control box is in „off“ position i. e. no alarm signal will be
transmitted as long as the oily water separator is not in service.
When oily water flows through the instrument the display will show the actual value of
oil content. If the oil concentration exceeds the adjusted limiting values of the alarm
circuits, the alarm indicator of the appropriated alarm circuit will be illuminated in
intervals during the selected time delay before it change to steady light and the
associated alarm relay will operate

Both alarm circuits can be set to an individual value between 2 to 15ppm (5ppm).
Alarm time delay circuit 1 can be set between 1 sec up to 9 min and alarm time delay
circuit 2 between 1 to 20 sec.
The time delay for both alarm circuits is works adjusted to 2 sec..
Information
Do not change the time delay, because these signals are needed
in the RWO OWS control for the control of the adsorber bypass.
All adjustments can be changed on site by using the buttons at the front panel. The
adjustment can only be done in the programming mode. To enter this mode, press
the tool button and select with “+” and “-“. During the programming mode the Bilge
Alarm Monitor OMD 24 continues in measurement and the yellow “Set Mode” LED is
on.
6. Calibration
15ppm (5ppm) 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 for check the instrument aboard ship, the Bilge Alarm
Monitor OMD 24 is constructed in that way, that the zero check also confirms the
instrument drift within the specifications.
7. Monitor operation
With 0,1m³ OWS capacity the whole water flows trough the Bilge Alarm Monitor. For
a OWS capacity over 0,1 m³ a part of the water of the oily water separator is led via a
bypass through the monitor. For this, a back-pressure orifice plate (oily water
separator pos. 11) is built into the main flow between the pump and the 3-way
recirculation valve (oily water separator pos. 23). The amount of the flow through the
monitor is, as a rule, already set up in the factory.

8. Maintenance
8.1. Importens Information!
For cleaning of Glass Tube at 15ppm (5ppm) Bilge Alarms OMD-24.
NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE UNITS AS THIS MAY VOID THE CALIBRATION AND
THE CERTIFICATION!
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 dew point should be considerably lower then 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 or 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 calcareous deposits in the glass tube,
treatment with some mild acidic cleaner, citric acid, or vinegar 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 or vinegar has to be done 2 or 3
times for at least 12 hours, depending on the thickness of the coating.
Additional use of some slightly abrasive cleaning powder or tooth paste may also
assist in cleaning as a last resort. Please note that some powerful abrasives may
scratch the glass surface, permanently damaging the instrument.

1: Memory Card (Art. No.: 51110EM012)
2: Terminal Cover
The Memory Card is located next to the terminals in the computer housing. It is
suitable for the life of the instrument, as it is calculated to the according MEPC
107(49) required storage time of at least 18 month. When the card is full, 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-24 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 conditions.

Note:
Accordingly to the rules of the MEPC.107(49) § 4.2.11. At the renewal of the IOPP cer-
tificate the unit must be checked by the manufacturer or a person authorized by the
manufacturer. Alternative the unit can be replaced by a ready calibrated Bilge Alarm
Monitor. The special design of the OMD 24 permits that only the measuring cell must
be replaced, because this part is the only relevant part for the calibration. The certifi-
cate with the date of the last calibration must be stored on board to be in the position to
present the certificate to the authorities.
