7.3 SHORT REFERENCE GUIDE FOR OPERATING THE MCU
NOTE:
The Oilcon
®
Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control System must be operated as directed
under the regulations given in Marpol 73/78, to prevent discharge of oil contaminated
water overboard. Where instructions in this manual may apparently conflict with the
Marpol requirements, then at all times the Marpol regulations are leading.
CAUTION:
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE PUMP RUN WITHOUT LIQUID.
THE PUMP HOUSING MUST FIRST BE FILLED WITH LIQUID, OTHERWISE THE
PUMP WILL SEIZE AND DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
Ensure that before operating the system, the following conditions are met:
 the control air supply is on
 the fresh water supply is on
 the electrical supplies are on
 the MCU is switched on
 the EPU is switched on
 the starter box is switched on
 all manual valves in the system are open
 the cargo pump is on standby
7.3.1 Discharging ballast water
Go through the following steps to start discharge operations:
 Switch on the MCU by turning the key switch to “Control” In the lop left corner of the display
of MCU will indicate “Standby” If a GPS signal is present, the current GPS coordinates are
shown. Also will the GPS signal set the current date and time.
 Press the CONFIG key to enter the configuration mode.
 Check if all parameter in the configuration are correct and change them if necessary.
