PPM value in steps of 1.0. To enter the simulation menu the BilgMon488 needs to be in POWER mode. POWER mode is when the unit is powered but separator is not running (separator status input is open, see 8.3 Electrical). - Page 18 BilgMon488 Instruction Manual vAD 18(38) Example of simulation with explanations: 1) Start in main menu with separator off (separator 140613 09:50:24 status input open).

Page 22: Cleaning & Test
TEST 10.10.1 Clean cell (zero calibration) The clean cell menu provides the facility to zero calibrate the BilgMon488. It is also a useful tool for checking on dirt, layering and scratches on the sample tube inside the SENSOR unit. Values shown range from 0% (clean, same values as factory calibration) to 100% (dirty) where 50% or below is required to perform zero calibration. -

10.11.4 Set clock The BilgMon488 has an internal timekeeping mechanism with a battery backup. This mechanism is refered to as RTC (Real Time Clock). The RTC is set at production to UTC time (Coordinated Universal Time). -
Page 25: Curro Mode (Current Output Mode)
10.11.5 Curro mode (Current output mode) The current output of BilgMon488 can be altered between two modes, 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA. These intervals correspond to 0-30 ppm oil content as displayed in the main menu. -

Page 27: Automatic Stopping Device Test
To make step 1 of the response test affect alarms and valves the apparatus needs to be active. Bilgmon488 is activated (flashing green led) when in main menu and the separator input signal is active. Activation can be done by shorting the “separator status” input (see 8.3 Electrical). This method is not recommended since there is an obvious risk of forgetting the strap and that it requires opening the MASTER unit. -
