CALIBRATION GUIDE: Salwico SW2020 Fixed Gas Detection System

 ๐Ÿ“‹ CALIBRATION GUIDE: Salwico SW2020 Fixed Gas Detection System

 

Complies with SOLAS, ISM, PSC requirements • Ready to follow step‑by‑step 

 

⚠️ BEFORE YOU START

- Safety first: Work in ventilated area; wear PPE; isolate alarms if needed; inform bridge/engine control

- Tools & gases required:

✅ Zero gas: Clean dry air (for flammables) or 100% Nitrogen N₂ (for O₂) 

✅ Span gas: Certified mix matching target gas (e.g., 50 %LEL Propane, 20 ppm H₂S, 20.9 % O₂) — within expiry date

✅ Calibration kit, sample tubing, flowmeter, system manual, logbook

- Frequency: Per Company PMS / SMS — typically every 3–6 months, or after service/repair, or before PSC inspection

 Refer to you ship Specific Equipment Manual and Company Management System.

๐ŸŽ›️ STEP‑BY‑STEP CALIBRATION (From Control Unit)

 

1. Enter Calibration Mode

 

- Power ON, system stable; navigate to Main Menu → Service → Calibration 

- Select Span Calibration (Menu 13) first, then Zero Calibration (Menu 14) 

 

2. Span Calibration (Adjust Sensitivity)

 

1. Choose detector number (1–4) → press F1 CONTINUE 

2. Enter exact span gas concentration printed on cylinder → F1 

3. Connect test gas line to analysing unit test port; set flow to ~0.5–1 L/min 

4. Open cylinder valve → F1 START; wait 2–3 minutes for readings to stabilize 

5. When steady: press F1 CALIBRATE → confirm success message 

6. Close gas valve; disconnect line → F1 EXIT 

7. For O₂: Use 20.9 % O₂ span gas; follow same path — menu labels differ slightly 

 

 

3. Zero Calibration (Set Baseline)

 

1. Go to Menu 14 Adjust Zero → select detector → F1 

2. Flammable/Toxic: Use clean air; O₂: Use N₂ only 

3. Open zero gas supply → F1 CONTINUE; wait for reading to settle 

4. Press F1 ADJUST → confirm → close valve → F1 EXIT 

5. Final step: Return to Menu 11 Save Setup — always save after calibration! 

 

4. Manual Calibration (For 4–20 mA Detectors)

 

- Disconnect sampling; connect multimeter to terminals M1(+) / M2(–)

- Zero: Apply clean air/N₂ → adjust P2 to 4.00 mA

- Span: Apply certified gas → calculate target:

Target mA = (16 mA ÷ FullScale) × GasValue + 4 mA

Adjust P1/P3 until matched; secure cover

 

✅ VERIFY & RECORD

 

- Test with known gas; confirm alarms trigger at correct levels

- Log mandatory details: Date, time, gas used, concentrations, readings before/after, technician name, expiry date of gases

- Keep certificates & logs ready for PSC / Class inspection

 

❌ IF CALIBRATION FAILS

 

- Check gas cylinder not empty, tubing not blocked/leaking, filters clean, pump flow normal 

- Verify sensor not expired or contaminated; replace if needed, then retry

 

๐Ÿ“Œ PSC COMPLIANCE TIPS

- Calibration must be current; logs complete; system shows no faults

- Crew must demonstrate how to calibrate and test — inspectors may ask

- Alarms, sampling sequence, and valve operation must work correctly

TIPS BEFORE PARIS MOU PSC INSPECTION

 ๐Ÿ“‹ TIPS BEFORE PARIS MOU PSC INSPECTION

Practical, prioritized, aligned with latest Paris MOU standards

⏱️ 72–48 HOURS BEFORE ARRIVAL

๐Ÿ“‘ DOCUMENTS & CERTIFICATES (TOP PRIORITY)

 

- Keep all originals valid and accessible: SOLAS, MARPOL, Load Line, Tonnage, SMC/DOC, ISSC, MLC, Class certificates, Minimum Safe Manning

- Verify crew docs: STCW CoC/CoP, flag endorsements, medical certs, employment agreements, pay slips, rest‑hour records 

- Update all logbooks: Oil Record Book, Garbage Record Book, GMDSS, drills, maintenance, passage plan, ballast water

- Confirm no open Class/flag non‑conformities; past deficiencies are closed and verified

 

๐Ÿงน HOUSEKEEPING & VISUAL CHECK

 

- Clean all areas: bridge, engine room, decks, accommodation, stores — rust, oil spills, clutter attract extra scrutiny

- Ensure labels, signs, muster lists, and emergency instructions are clear, correct, and in crew’s working language

 

๐Ÿ› ️ SAFETY & OPERATIONAL PREP

 

- Fire safety: Test alarms, extinguishers, CO₂ systems, fire doors/dampers, emergency fire pump, hoses/nozzles — most common detention cause

- Lifesaving: Check lifeboats/rafts, release mechanisms, hydrostatic units, EPIRB/SART batteries, immersion suits, lifebuoys — expiry dates strictly checked

- Pollution prevention: OWS, incinerator, sewage plant, oil/water tight doors, scuppers plugged, SOPEP ready

- Navigation: ECDIS/charts updated, passage plan complete, all nav aids tested, gyro/GPS/AIS accurate

- ISM drills: Conduct full fire/abandon ship drills; ensure crew know their roles and can explain procedures — ISM failures expand inspections

 

๐Ÿšข WHEN INSPECTOR ARRIVES

 

- Greet professionally; offer safety briefing, PPE, and an assigned knowledgeable escort

- Provide documents promptly; answer honestly, clearly, and briefly — do not volunteer extra info

- If a deficiency is found: acknowledge it, explain immediate/corrective action, and timeline — cooperation reduces detention risk

- Avoid arguments; show you follow Company Procedures, SMS, and ISM Code in every step

 

⚠️ HIGH‑RISK ITEMS TO DOUBLE‑CHECK

 

- Expiry dates: Batteries, services, surveys, certificates — never expired

- Watertight integrity: Doors, hatches, vents, manholes — close and lock properly 

- MLC compliance: Rest hours, food/water quality, accommodation, complaint procedure posted — third most common issue

- Operational readiness: Crew must demonstrate tasks (don EEBD, launch lifeboat, operate valves) — not just talk

 

๐Ÿ“Œ FINAL NOTE


Preparation is not just for passing inspection — it is for safety of ship, crew, and sea. Follow your SMS, maintain daily, and you will be ready always.
