Maintenance
The operation of the separator system and alarm device must be checked at least every 6
months by experienced personnel.
The following is recommended in conjunction with the inspection:
functional check of the idOil alarm device with the test function and sensor (see Section
Functional test
)
sensor cleaning (see Section
Maintenance measures
)
The idOil control unit and sensors do not have wearing or replaceable parts.
The device does not include replaceable fuses.
8.1. Functional test
8.1.1. Test function
The test function creates a test alarm, which is used to ensure the appropriate functioning
of the idOil device and any other possible devices or systems controlled by its relays in an
alarm situation.
Activating the test function:
► Press the reset/test button continuously for 3 seconds.
8.1.2. Functional test with sensors
The operation of the idOil device and sensors can be checked comprehensively by simply
simulating an actual alarm situation.
The idOil device can be set to test mode by pressing the reset/test button once to activate
display and after that again continuously for 10 seconds and release it. The display shows
the message
Test mode
and the device enters the continuous measurement mode. The
device returns to normal mode automatically in 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can press the
reset/test button continuously for 10 seconds and release it.
To exit the continuous measurement mode, press the reset/test button for 10 seconds to
ensure lower power consumption.
Depending on the sensor type, the functional test can be conducted as follows:
1. idOil-LIQ (high liquid level):
► Immerse the sensor in oil or water.
2. idOil-OIL (oil):
► Immerse the sensor in oil. If this is not possible, lift the sensor into the air.
3. idOil-SLU (sludge):
► Immerse the sensor in sand or sludge. If this is not possible, lift the sensor into the
air.
The alarm will be activated after the delay (factory setting: 10 s).
