INTRODUCTION FOR M.GP.S

The systemis basedon the electrolyticprincipleconsistingof copperandaluminiumanodeswhich
arefed with a fixed impressedelectricalcurrentfrom controlpanel.
The Systemis designedto give continuousprotectionwith the minimum maintenanceagainst
marine growth and corrosioncausedby marinegrowth in seawaterserviceline. It will provide
completeprotectionthroughthe full designated
anodelife.
Excessive anode current will result in an excessiverate of consumption of the anodes, and then
reducing their life and possibly leaving the water systemunprotectedif the anodesare worn out.

The systemproducesanti-foulingion usingspeciallyalloyedanodes.
Therearetwo Vpes known asthe CU(copper)anodesandAl(aluminium) anodes.
CU Anodes are manufactured from copper as major part for system. The copper anode produces
ions which are transportedby the seawaterand carried into the pipework system to prevent marine
growth.
They releaseions during electrolysis as following reactions.

IN-SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
Once the Systemhas been installed it will perform two functions : l.

Eliminate marine growth and reducethe corrosion rate in the seawaterservice lines.

2.

The Systemuses impressedcurrent sacrificial anodeswhich last to designedlife.

Once in servicethe anodeswill require renewal within designedlife.

When ordering, inform of maker'sreferencenumber specified on the cover sheetof this drawing.
ADJUSTMENTS
The control panel is fully automatic and therefore does not require any adjustmentsin service.
CHECKING
Wb suggestthat as a matter of coursethe Control Panel should be checked every week.
When checking, see that all the digital display ammeters are working, this will determine all is
correct. When the anodes have nearly wasted, the digital display above the corresponding anode
will start to fall. When this happens,turn the anode current knob back to zero and leave it until
the anoderenewal.
Resetonceagainatseaafter,renewaltocurrentsettingsgivenpreviously.
WARNING (In caseanodes are installed in strainer)
When opening the strainer lid for regular check inside strainer,do not fail to remove all anodes
mounted onto the lid. Lifting up strainer lid without anodesremoval and lifting it down gives
serious stressto stud and results in anodebreakage.

T]I{EVEN WEARING OF COPPER AFIODE

When anodesarepositionedat strainer(filter box) or independent
tank, anodesshouldbe regularly
checkedfor the wear down.
Regardingunevenwearing (particularlywear down in the middle)of copperanodeyou may sprqy
with tar epoxy paint about 3-4 times except300mm long from the anodebottom after complete
dry up of copperanodesurface,which can help anodedissolvedfrom bottom.Refer to the below
