BilgMon488 Instruction Manual vT 4/33
2. Introduction
The BilgMon488 bilge alarm has been designed specifically for use in conjunction
with 15 ppm oil-water separator units. BilgMon488 performance meets the
requirements of the International Maritime Organisation specifications for 15 ppm
bilge alarms contained in resolution MEPC. 107(49).
BilgMon488 is equipped with 2 adjustable alarms that are triggered when the oil-
content of the processed sample exceeds the set limit (1 – 15 ppm, works-adjusted to
15ppm). Alarm outputs consist of relays and indicator LEDs. Additionally a 0(4) – 20
mA current output signal (corresponding to 0 – 30 ppm) is available to enable remote
surveillance and recording of oil contents.
3. Construction
BilgMon488 consists of two main parts, the MASTER unit (housing with LCD,
buttons and LEDs) and the SENSOR unit (housing with pipe fittings).
The MASTER unit contains all the electronics used for control and data storage of the
bilge alarm. Mounted in the lid of the MASTER housing is the main memory
containing the bilge alarm log.
The SENSOR unit contains electronics for measuring the sample stream. The
SENSOR unit also holds the measurement calibration data. Communication with the
MASTER unit is done wireless hence the SENSOR unit is hermetically sealed and
shall not be opened.

BilgMon488 Instruction Manual vT 5/33
4. Operation
Optical sensors monitors the amount of light scattered and absorbed by the oil droplets
in the sample stream. Sensor signals are processed by a microprocessor to produce a
corresponding oil content (ppm) output. The output is communicated to the MASTER
unit where it is processed. The MASTER unit takes action, such as alarm activation,
logging etc., depending on the oil content and the separator signal.
Settings that affect the behaviour of the bilge alarm are described in detail in the
”Operating Instructions” section.
Zero point calibration can be re-adjusted on site whereas full sensor calibration
according to IMO-requirements is performed by manufacturer.
5. Caution
The lid of the MASTER unit contains a small battery (watch battery). This battery
enables the BilgMon488 to keep track of time and date (real time clock, RTC).
Do NOT under any circumstance remove this battery as it will cause a unrecoverable
error (“RTC check FAILED!!”).
Do NOT open the SENSOR unit as this will invalidate the calibration.
Do NOT open the MASTER unit when it is energized. Hazardous voltages are present
inside.

8. Calibration
Two items needs to be addressed when setting up the maintenance schedule for the
BilgMon488:
• The calibration certificate expiration of the SENSOR unit.
• On occasions “calibration check” is required on a more regular basis.
The following two subchapters explain how to resolve these two items.

9. Operating Instructions
The menu system of BilgMon488 is organised into 4 top menus:
1. Main menu.
2. Info menu.
3. Log menu.
4. Cleaning/test menu.
5. Settings menu.
Some of the menus also contain submenus for displaying or setting the properties of
the apparatus.
Navigating the menus is done by using the 4 push buttons located beneath the LCD
display. In this document they are referred to as (from left to right) MINUS, PLUS,
ABORT and ENTER. LONG_ENTER means keeping the ENTER button pressed for
more than 2 seconds. By using the above mentioned buttons the user is able to
navigate menus, enter values and activate different functions of the BilgMon488 .

• Main menu
After start the display will show the main menu. The apparatus can only be activated
when the display shows the main menu hence the user has to be sure that the
apparatus is left in the main menu state after performing settings, cleaning, tests etc.
Contrast of the LCD screen can be adjusted by holding the ABORT button while
adjusting with PLUS and MINUS when in main menu. Note that the apparatus will
return to the main menu after 5 min of no activity (no pressed buttons). The bilge
alarm can only be activated when in main menu. In all other menus the overboard
valve will be closed.
• Info menu
The submenus of info menu show information about the master unit (software version
and part ID) and the sensor unit (part ID, SW version, sensor birth date and date of
last calibration check). Note that entering the submenus also puts the apparatus in an
alarm state.
• Log menu
The log menu contains functionality for searching and stepping the logged IMO
required data.
• Settings menu
Settings menu contains adjustable settings of parameters such as ppm-limits,
alarm/valve time delays, autoflush settings, clock and current output (curro) mode.

10. Simulation
By holding the ENTER button pressed while in main menu lets the user simulate
different ppm values and separator input states. In this mode the The following table
shows the display in the simulation mode.
Simulation SPL
PPM=07.0 SEP_ON
PPM=03.0 ACT
Pressing the MINUS
button decreases the PPM
value by 1.0. Pressing the
PLUS button increases the
PPM value by 1.0. Pressing
the ABORT button toggles
the simulated separator
input (SEP_OFF =
separator off, SEP_ON =
separator on). In the upper
right corner of the display
an indication is given of
the clean water valve
position.
11. Contrast
By holding the ABORT button pressed while in main menu lets the user set the
contrast of the LCD screen. The following table shows the display when as seen when
adjusting the contrast.

13.2. Step 2
Testing alarms and valves are done in simulation mode (see “10. Simulation”) or in
the “Test outputs” submenu of the cleaning & test menu (see page 22) since this
doesn't require opening the MASTER housing.
13.3. Alternative
To make step 1 of the response test affect alarms and valves the apparatus needs to be
active. Bilgmon 488 is activated (flashing green led) when in main menu and the
separator input signal is active. Activation can be done by strapping connections 10
and 11 (see “Electrical connections”). This method is not recommended since there
is an obvious risk of forgetting the strap and that it requires opening the MASTER
unit.

16. Maintenance
The BilgMon488 can be set to autoflush (see page 24). This means that the sensor
tube is flushed with clean water at durations and intervals as set in the settings menu.
Autoflush is only active when in main menu and BilgeMon488 is not active.
Cleaning the measurement unit should be done using a soft bottle-brush and mild
detergent. Note that there is a glass tube inside the SENSOR unit so don't use anything
that might scratch or damage the glass (i.e. metal objects). If the glass tube is layered
with rust or similar try using low concentrated acid (for example hydrochloric acid).
Rinse well and make sure you protect your eyes, skin and airways if using acidic
substances.
