REV(0) : 14/10/05
The system is based on the electrolytic principle consisting of copper and aluminium anodes which
are fed with a fixed impressed electrical current from control panel.
The System is designed to give continuous protection with the minimum maintenance against
marine growth and corrosion caused by marine growth in seawater service line. It will provide
complete protection through the full designated anode life.
Excessive anode current will result in an excessive rate of consumption of the anodes, and then
reducing their life and possibly leaving the water system unprotected if the anodes are worn out.
SYSTEM PRINCIPLE
CU Anodes are manufactured from copper as major part for system. The copper anode produces
ions which are transported by the seawater and carried into the pipework system to prevent marine
growth.
They release ions during electrolysis as following reactions.
AL Anodes are manufactured from aluminium as supplementary part for system. The slow
dissolution of the aluminium anode produces ions which spread throughout the system and produce
an anti-corrosive layer on the internal surface of sea water cooling lines.
They release ions during electrolysis as following reactions.

DISPLAY
The panel contains digital display according to the quantity of anode. Current setting for each
anode can be easily adjusted by up-down button and is shown in the digital display.
The alarm lamp will be ‘ON’ when improper current to each anode is set and any failure of system
operation. This alarm can be connected to vessel’s alarm system externally.
FIXING
Two mounting bars with four holes for M10 are incorporated on the back plate of the panel.
We recommend a bulkhead mounting in close proximity to the anodes to avoid voltage drop and
cutting cable run costs.
Run cable from available power source .... via gland to terminal marked 'Mains In'.
Be sure to connect correct cable to terminal.
SETTING UP
Once the cables have been run and connected, the System is ready to be switched on.
NOTE - the following procedure can only be carried out with the anodes in seawater.
2. Set all anodes currents by pressing the buttons unless the readings of digital display
correspond to each current specified in Operation Manual.
3. Switch off until ship starts engine(s) up and switch on when sea water pumps are running.

WIRING OF SYSTEM
Marine rubber double insulated. Use one core per anode and one core per earth return.
The minimum core size for all cable is as follows : -
Each anode is assembled with different cable color for easy identification as follows;
WIRING UP
An earth (-ve) return must be installed at each separate anode location i.e. if the system supplied is
designed for 2 sea chests/strainers then 2 earth returns must be used. Use a min of 1 earth return for
every 4 Anodes. Ensure that a separate core of a multicore cable or a completely separate cable is
used for this purpose. Use cable as specified above. Connect to the terminals available in the
rear of the control unit marked 'earth returns'.
We suggest the cable connections are made by welding a bolt on to the strainer or sea chest close to
the anodes (but no nearer than 250mm).
Fit junction box close to anodes and wire to control panel using recommended cable as per
attached wiring diagram and control box drawing.
After switching on, check the polarity of the anodes in relation to the hull.
All anodes are to be positive, relative to a negative hull.

IN-SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
Once the System has been installed it will perform two functions : -
1. Eliminate marine growth and reduce the corrosion rate in the seawater service lines.
2. The System uses impressed current sacrificial anodes which last to designed life.
Once in service the anodes will require renewal within designed life.
Refer to instruction of anode renewal as specified separately.
Please ensure a reasonable dispatch time when ordering replacement anodes.

When ordering, inform of maker's reference number specified on the cover sheet of this drawing.
ADJUSTMENTS
The control panel is fully automatic and therefore does not require any adjustments in service.
CHECKING
We suggest that as a matter of course the Control Panel should be checked every week.
When checking, see that all the digital display ammeters are working, this will determine all is
correct. When the anodes have nearly wasted, the digital display above the corresponding anode
will start to fall. When this happens, turn the anode current knob back to zero and leave it until
the anode renewal.
Reset once again at sea after renewal to current settings given previously.

When anodes are positioned at strainer (filter box) or independent tank, anodes should be regularly
checked for the wear down.
Regarding uneven wearing (particularly wear down in the middle) of copper anode you may spray
with tar epoxy paint about 3~4 times except 300mm long from the anode bottom after complete
dry up of copper anode surface, which can help anode dissolved from bottom. Refer to the below
drawing.

Life of anodes is designed on specification and the time of anode exchange will be noticed from
falling down of digital display of each anode on control panel. Exchange of anodes can be
carried out as following procedures.
K.C. Ltd. provides renewal anodes in a complete assembled set including all accessories, flange
and cable. So customer is required to disconnect anode cable and flange bolts only for
replacement.
NOTE
3. Remove anode flange together with used anode from sea chest or strainer.
6. Connect anode cable in junction box at the correct position and switch on control panel when
sea water pumps are running.
