They are preset at 15 ppm but can be readjusted to lower levels (e.g., 5 ppm or 10 ppm) to suit specific requirements. An alarm setpoint above 15 ppm is not permissible. 4. Maintenance and Troubleshooting Regular maintenance of the Deckma OMD-11 is vital for accurate measurements and longevity. 4.1 Safety Hazards
Two independent alarm circuits, factory-set at 15 ppm but adjustable between 2–15 ppm.

The Deckma OMD-11 is specifically engineered to monitor the oil content in bilge water discharge. It serves as the regulatory "gatekeeper" on a vessel's oily water separator (OWS) system.
Proper physical installation minimizes false alarms caused by air bubbles, sediment, or improper plumbing geometry.
The heart of the unit is a glass sample tube surrounded by an optical sensor array.
