1. Bilge Alarm Device

1.1. General
The Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24 has been designed acc. IMO requirements to be
used to fulfil Marpol 73/78 with 15ppm oily water separator and has a specification
and performance which exceeds the requirements of the IMO (International Maritime
Organisation) specifications for Bilge Alarm Monitors contained in Resolution MEPC.
107(49). All monitors are inspected and tested to the related I.M.O. requirements at
the factory prior to delivery.
The RWO bilge water oil separator type SKIT/S DEB also meets the
requirements of the class notation “Clean Design”. For this purpose
Information the alarm point are set to: Alarm 2 5ppm (recirculation) and Alarm 1
4ppm (adsorber by-pass) (values in parentheses in the
documentation)
The Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24 is supplied with 2 works-adjusted alarms: alarm 1
at 14ppm (4ppm) and alarm 2 at 15ppm (5ppm) ex factory.
If an alarm set point is exceeded, the alarms are shown at the front panel and the
appropriate relays are switched. In case of malfunction, the System LED at the front
panel will change from flashing green to permanent red and the appropriate relay will
switch the contacts to alarm.
For the data logging function the Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24 requires a status input
from the oily water separator and a feedback signal from the sample water 3-way
valve position switch. See Fig. 2, Pos.6.
Furthermore a 0(4) - 20 mA (equal to 0 - 30ppm oil content) signal output is optional
available for the connection of a recorder or external meter proportional.
The water sample is taken from the vertical water flow before of an orifice to have
enough sample water supply pressure.
The following National IMO-type test certificates in accordance with MEPC. 107(49)
are available, issued by the national authorities of the countries listed below.
The list is an interim one and might be incomplete, as further national certification has
been applied for.

1.2. Scattered light measuring method

An optical sensor array measures a combination of light scattered and absorbed by
oil droplets in the sample water. The sensor signals are processed by a
microprocessor to produce linearised output.
At exceeding of the adjusted limiting values (see item 1.1) 2 oil alarm relays are
switched after the adjusted time delay (ex works 2 sec.).
The microprocessor continuously monitors the condition of the sensor components
and associated electronics to ensure that calibration accuracy is maintained over the
time and different environmental conditions.

The following diagram below shows the principle of scattered light measuring.

Indicates a possibly dangerous situation. Failure to observe this

warning can result in death or severe injury.
Attention
Indicates important information and necessary action. A failure to

observe can result in damage to, or malfunction of, the oily water
Important separator.
Information Indicates tips for use or other useful information.

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.
1.6. Displays and Alarms

In the Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24 are two independent alarm circuits available. Both
can be set separately from 1 to 15ppm (5ppm).
The alarm point 1 is set at 14ppm (4ppm) and alarm point 2 is set at 15ppm (5ppm)
ex works. Both alarm circuits can be adapted to the operation conditions. The set
point of alarm 1 can be changed according to the requirements on site between 1ppm
and 14ppm (4ppm) and the alarm 2 can be set between 2ppm and 15ppm (5ppm).
For a proper operation of the adsorber bypass, the alarm circuit 1 must be at least 1
ppm lower adjusted as the alarm circuit 2. An alarm point setting above 15ppm
(5ppm) is accordingly to the IMO requirements not possible.
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.
1.7. Design of the Bilge Alarm Device

There are 2 main parts which are contained in a Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24:
The computer unit is mounted into a housing to protect the display PCB with the data
logger and the main board PCB with the terminals for external connections.
The measuring cell is built out of an anodized all-aluminium body with inlet and outlet
block in stainless steel. This rugged cell contains optics and electronics and is
connected with the computer unit via a plugged data cable. It is mounted onto a
stainless steel support that also holds the valve assembly. Two handles control
sample water flow and clean water usage. This assembly is connected to the
measuring cell by a push-in connection.
The valve assembly contains a special handle to sense the position of the valve. This
assembly is connected to the measuring cell by an easy to handle fitting to enable the
exchange of the cell for frequently adjustment according the IMO requirements.

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.

3. Installation of the Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24

According MEPC. 107(49) the layout of the installation should be arranged so that the
overall response time (including the response time of the Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD
24) between an effluent discharge from the oily water separator exceeding 15ppm
(5ppm), 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 device assembled ready at the RWO oily water separator fulfils this demand.

4. Electrical connections

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.

5.3. Functional Tests

a) Run oil free water through the instrument to clean the system.
b) This is only information for you. It will be done by at RWO for your

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

5.5. Monitor control functions

The Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24 is delivered with a works adjustment according the
IMO-requirements (pre settings: alarm circuit 1 -. 14ppm (4ppm), alarm circuit 2 –
15ppm (5ppm)).
To investigate the performance of the OWS continuously and to protect the adsorber,
periodically every 5 minutes a sample is taken from sample point after OWS / before
adsorber to check the actual oil content in the effluent of the OWS.
If the oil content will be below the limiting value of the alarm circuit 1 (14ppm (4ppm))
again, the 3-way bypass valve (OWS pos. 58) will change to adsorber bypass. If the
oil content after the OWS is still higher or equal than 14ppm (4ppm) the water flow
remains via the adsorber.
If the oil content is even or higher than the limiting value of the alarm circuit 2 (15ppm
(5ppm)) at the sample point after adsorber, the water will be recirculated by the 3-way
diverting valve (OWS pos. 23) to the bilge water tank and the alarm signal is
activated to the ship’s alarm system. If the oil content is below 15ppm (5ppm) the
water will be discharged overboard.

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.
5.7. Recorder (option)

If a recorder is required for continuous recording of the oil content in the effluent,
RWO can offer a single-channel recorder of type DEGU. The Bilge Alarm Monitor
OMD 24 has an output signal (either 0 - 20 mA or 4 - 20 mA) available for this
purpose.

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.
6.1. Calibration and repeatability check

a) Switch off the power supply and stop any water flow.
b) Clean the sample tube accurately by using the cell cleaning brush as described
under section 8 “Maintenance”.
c) Run clean water through the instrument.
d) Switch on power supply
e) Make sure, that the “zero” point is correct at ± 0.
f) If it is sure, that clean water without any air bubbles is in the instrument, the read-
ing should be 0ppm ± 2ppm.
g) Continue as described under section 5.2 and 5.3.
Note § 4.2.11 of MEPC. 107(49):
The accuracy of the 15ppm (5ppm) Bilge Alarms should be checked at IOPP
Certificate renewal surveys according to the manufacturers instructions. Alternatively
the unit may be replaced by a calibrated 15ppm (5ppm) Bilge Alarm. The calibration
certificate for the 15ppm (5ppm) 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.
6.2. Function Test at Classification Survey and Port State Control

All 15ppm (5ppm) 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 alarm 1 to 14 ppm (4ppm) and alarm 2 to 15ppm
(5ppm) for all RWO - OWS type “SKIT S DEB” or “OPUS” and can only be changed
to a lower value on site. A setting to a higher value as 15ppm (5ppm) is not possible.
To provide a simple procedure for check the instrument aboard ship, the OMD-24 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 (5ppm) oil content and
all other conditions for proper measurement are OK.

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.
7.1. Operating instructions

The OMD-24 has two independent valves for sample water and clean water. Valve
handles are mechanically interlocked. Do not use excessive force to operate the
handles. The OMD-24 will only allow overboard discharge in Normal Operation
setting of both valve handles.
NORMAL OPERATION STOP SAMPLE CLEAN WATER
Fig. 6
7.2. Instrument start-up sequence:

a) Switch on the OWS power supply.
b) Allow a period of time for water entering the sample tube.
c) Flow oil free water through the system for a few minutes and check that the display
show 0 to 2ppm. If not, clean proper before adjusting the Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD
24 according section “8. Maintenance”.
d) Switch the instrument sample supply from the clean water supply to the separator
sampling point connection.
e) The instrument is now ready for use.
7.3. 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 15ppm
(5ppm)), the alarm indicator 1 will be illuminated in intervals during the selected
time delay before it change to steady light and the associated alarm relay will op-
erate. Accordingly also the alarm indicator 2 will be illuminated and its associated
alarm relay will take the appropriate shut down action.

7.4. Monitoring operation and alarm events during operation

a) When water containing oil flows through the device, the oil concentration is indi-
cated by the display. The alarm LED’s, (see Fig. 2) show green.
b) If the oil concentration should exceed the pre adjusted limiting values of both alarm
circuits, the alarm LED’s change from "GREEN" to "RED" and both relays (alarm
relay 1 and 2) switch over after 2 seconds. The OWS control unit process these
signals and controls with that
 the adsorber by pass
 the recirculation valve (OWS pos. 23)
 the common alarm relay
switch over to oil alarm conditions.
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!
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 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.

8.2. Maintenance at weekly intervals

a) Flush the cell with oil free water.
b) Isolate the instrument from both, sample and oil free water supply.
c) Unscrew and remove the cell cap.
d) Insert the Cell Cleaning brush into the cell and clean it with upwards and down-
wards motion through the entire length of the cell several times.
e) Remove the Cell Cleaning brush and replace the cell cap.
f) Open clean water valve and allow oil free water to flow through the instrument for a
few minutes.
g) Observe that the display is showing "0" to “2”. If not, clean again.
h) Examine the status of the desiccator (Chapter 5.6, Table 5 d, TEST button). The
Desiccator status display will indicate if the desiccator is worn out and working in-
sufficient. If the desiccator status is any other then OK, the desiccator should be
replaced. Additionally, the Measuring Cell dew point can be checked. The dew
point should be lower then both sample temperature and clean water temperature.
Insufficient desiccator performance could result in condensation inside the measur-
ing cell and wrong measurement and/or damage to optical components. Insuffi-
cient desiccant container can easily be exchanged by removing the desiccator cap.
Just unscrew the desiccator cap, replace the desiccant container by a new one
(Art. No. 51110EM027). Make sure to close the desiccator cap properly. Allow the
new desiccator some time to absorb the humidity inside the measuring cell.
i) Switch valves to Normal Operation position.
8.3. Optional Manual Cell Clean Unit (Art. No. 51110EM004)

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 by simple
pollution of the sample tube and all the trouble which this can cause.
Operating Instructions
a) Ensure that the monitor is switched off and that there is a clean water supply
through the cell.
b) Activate the manual cell clean unit by pressing the handle several times.
c) Switch the monitor back on and check the reading is between 0 to 2 ppm.
d) Repeat a) to c) at least once a week or as 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.

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.

12. Exchange Parts Service

12.1. General
All Bilge Alarm Monitors in our range are inspected and tested to I.M.O. requirements
at our factories prior to delivery.
In normal use the Bilge Alarm Monitors 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.
12.2. Exchange Equipment Service

If, in spite of the care mentioned above, it should come to an equipment failure, we
recommend you to order a complete exchange monitor from us.
This ensures that, after the exchange, you have a monitor on board that has been
overhauled and tested in our factory.
The defective device which has been replaced should then be sent back to us
immediately.
If you return the defective Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24 to us within a reasonable
period of time (30 days), RWO will only charge costs for the repair and calibration of
the monitor. Otherwise we must charge the full sum shown on the invoice which
accompanies the exchange monitor we send to you.
Experience has shown that this offers the customer the most reasonable price and
ensures at the same time that a device is employed which meets the IMO
specifications.

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.
If for any reason the computer unit also must be replaced it

must be sure that the memory card remains on board for at
least 18 month. The new computer unit is equipped with a
memory card of his own. The old memory card can only be
Important read in the new unity, storage of data can carried out only
on the newly delivered card.
For more details see chapter 9
12.3. Exchange of electronic components

Because of small variations in the characteristics of components of the same type, it
is recommended to calibrate the Bilge Alarm Monitor OMD 24 after repair and
replacement of such components (except for relays, fuses, etc.). This calibration work
only may be carried out by the manufacturer or a person authorized by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise it can come to faulty display values and, if the display value is very low, to
exceeding the allowable limit of oil in water.
For the above reasons, only the possibility to order to a service exchange Bilge Alarm
Monitor OMD 24 from us remains.
12.4. Warranty
Our warranty terms are12 months after installation but maximal 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.
