5. Safety and protection measures
VN2020-series oil mist detectors are manufactured according to Schaller Automation
’s high
quality standards and are tested in strict factory tests. The safety instructions and warnings
must be observed by the operator to ensure that the device operates smoothly and without
problems. These instructions are identified in the operating manual with the following symbols.
CAUTION!
For safe and proper use, read the operating manual and other documents
accompanying the product carefully and keep them for future reference.
5.1. Intended use
The task of the oil mist detector is to prevent explosions in the crankcase of large engines
caused by a high concentration of oil mist, such as can occur in the event of bearing damage
within the large engine.
The oil mist detector may only be used for the detection of oil mist in crankcases and to protect
against oil mist explosions on large engines (gas, diesel and duel fuel).
When used on large motors that require explosion protection, an oil mist detector with
explosion protection marking must be used.
When used on large engines with mandatory approval by shipping classification societies, an
oil mist detector with corresponding class approval must be used.
The safety instructions must be observed.
5.2. Foreseeable misuse
The oil mist detector must not be installed without the use of suction funnels.
Unauthorised persons must not install or maintain the oil mist detector.
The oil mist detectors must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres without ATEX
approval.
The installation kit components must not be installed other than as shown in this operating
manual and the applicable installation kit drawing.
