Factory test at engine builder with smoke generator on
VN115/87plus EX installations
Due to vessels not normally having the equipment and SCHALLER AUTOMATION
recommends this procedure only for the factory test by using the SCHALLER smoke
generator (see
). If a smoke generator is available on a vessel, this test
can be also performed. However, in this case observe the following warning.
Attention: Before starting the on board test execute the
procedures as specified in the maintenance schedule. The
pipe system has to be clean and if used
all siphons have to
be filled with oil
refer to chapter 2.1.3.
A test of the entire OMD system (incl. tubing system) can be done only at standstill
of the engine. The crankcase service covers must be opened first. Put a small
amount of smoke fluid (see Chapter '
Accessories
') into the reservoir and switch on
the generator for a few seconds until the storage tank is completely filled with
smoke. The last step is to hold the flexible hose directly into the suction funnels
until an oil mist alarm is indicated.

If it's not possible to open the service covers a functional test can be performed
without testing the suction funnels.
In this case the flexible hose has to be pressed over the opening under the lock
screws of the siphon blocks as seen in
open header pipe end after removing the lock nut.
