6. INSTALLATION
See Section 2. Important Notes concerning installation.
The OMD-24 Series 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 sec.) 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 sec.
Mount the OMD-24 Series instruments by means of M6 or M8 screws on to a rigid vertical
surface or frame and preferably with the display panel of the monitor at user
convenience. For service and maintenance sufficient space to all sides should be available.
Care must be taken at mounting of the pipes connections to avoid any torsion of the
housing and damage of the instrument.
