This document provides cleaning procedures for a glass pipe ppm bilge alarm unit. The regular cleaning procedure involves flushing the glass pipe with fresh water using a brush, checking that the ppm range reads 0-2ppm, and retrying if needed. The special cleaning procedure is more extensive, involving sucking water from the glass tube, filling it with citric acid overnight, brushing with a toothpaste-coated brush, and flushing with fresh water, checking the ppm range reads 0-2ppm and adjusting the offset if needed. Both procedures aim to clean the glass pipe to ensure accurate ppm readings.

Special cleaning procedure
Stop sample flow → Open screw plug on top → sugtion water out of glass tube → Fill citric acid inside glass pipe → wait for dissolve acid (overnight) → Use the brush (many times upwards and downwards, maybe use drilling machine for brush turning) → wait again → flush glass pipe with frehwater →put toothpaste on your brush → Use the brush (many times upwards and downwards, drilling machine?) →open freh water and clean glass pipe, forward brush moving → Take brush out → be sure no toothpaste remain inside → stop frehwater (close valve) → replace the screw plug →Open the freh water again (important: complete) → observe the display ppm range should be 0 -2ppm →If not: close freh water and wait a minute and replay observe (air bubbles can be inside glass pipe) → Display don’t indicate 0-2ppm, please try again → If necessary please use the opportunity to adjust the offset on OMD-computer to max. -5ppm These settings are accepted and used in accordance with the Marpol rules
