4) Turn ON the air supply to the auxiliary oil mist generator and adjust the mist pressure. The air
supply block valve must be in the open position. Turning the air pressure regulator
adjustment knob makes adjustments to the mist pressure. Turning the knob in the clock-wise
direction increases mist pressure. Turning it in the counter-clock wise direction decreases the
mist pressure. Monitor the mist pressure gauge as adjustments are made. Normal mist
pressure setting is 20 inches of water / 50 m BAR.
5) Turn ON the electrical power to the auxiliary oil mist generator
a) The electrical power switch is located in the top of the operator panel. Separate power
switches are provided for the main and auxiliary oil mist generators in NEC configured
units. The auxiliary oil mist generator switch is located on the right side. Move the switch
to the ON position.
b) For ATEX configured units, power is supplied through a three-position selector switch. To
turn power ON to the auxiliary unit move the selector switch to the right position.( I O

Once the auxiliary oil mist generator has been commissioned, check the air oil heater for
operation and proper set point.
Operation
Once the auxiliary oil mist generator has been placed in operation, maintenance and repair to the
main oil mist generator can be performed. The main oil mist generator should be placed back in
service as soon as possible.
If the auxiliary oil mist generator remains in operation for an extended time period, it should be
monitored to ensure that the oil level, air temperature and mist pressure is maintained. As oil is
consumed, refilling the reservoir can be done with the unit in full operation by holding both toggle
valves in the open position while monitoring the rising level in the oil level sight glass. Reference
step no. 1 above.
