There are times when the OCM cell can be coated with material that is hard to get off. You may
need to use soap or vinegar or some other non-abrasive cleaner to get the cell clean if it has built
up too much to get a clean reading on the monitor.
2.3.
Calibration of the OCM
At IOPP certificate renewal time every 5 years, the calibration of the OCM has to be current.
The original calibration certificate is good for 5 years. The OCM calibration can be checked at
any time using an approved calibration test kit. Once the cell calibration date has expired (5
years from the certificate date), the cell will need to be replaced. Check the calibration
certificate that comes with the system in the O&M manual to verify the calibration date. If you
have lost your calibration certificate Recovered Energy or your distributor can provide you with
a copy. Replacement cells are kept in stock.
Should you wish to do a calibration check, a test kit that can be purchased either from your
distributor or the factory to verify the calibration of the monitor. It is not necessary to test the
calibration as long as the cell has a valid calibration certificate. The instructions for checking the
calibration will be included in the calibration kit.
2.4.
Changing the OCM Alarm Limit
In some areas the limit for discharge is lower (usually 5 ppm). If this is the case, the alarm
limit can be set to 5 ppm or any other amount in the range of 1-15 ppm. Please refer to the
Brannstrom OCM manual for instructions on changing the alarm value.
2.5.
Special tools
There are no special tools, test equipment or materials needed for servicing and maintaining the
system except the following:
a.
Calibration test kit to test the calibration of the monitor. This is totally optional and is
generally not required.
2.6.
Shutdown procedures
If a shutdown is required for any maintenance that requires servicing an electrical component,
make sure that the unit is unplugged and the system is locked out and tagged according to
standard lock-out, tag-out procedures.
To clean the cell, do not unplug the unit. You will need power to the system to operate the oil
content monitor during the cleaning process.
