The VISATRON® series VN93 Oil Mist Detector (OMD) from SCHALLER
AUTOMATION protects large diesel engines against oil mist explosion caused by
spontaneously occurring oil mist. It is part of a safety system that helps protect
operating personnel and prevents heavy damages to the engine.
This device conforms to the IACS UR M10 which is valid since January 2006.
It is not possible to directly monitor all potential sources of oil mist inside a large
diesel engine. There are main bearings, large end bearings, pistons, liners, sliders,
pumps, camshaft bearings, chains, gears or even tools left behind from installation
– all of these parts could produce oil mist e.g. in case of lubrication problems.
Therefore the philosophy of SCHALLER AUTOMATION is that only OMD-systems can
securely prevent oil mist explosions by detecting the primary origin of danger: the
oil mist itself.
The VISATRON® series VN93 OMD-system uses the approved wear-free suction
system to continuously extract the atmosphere of the crankcase compartments and
other engine locations. The system works actively and is not waiting for oil mist
clouds. This ensures proper reaction times from the beginning of oil mist generation
to an oil mist alarm.
To avoid false alarms caused by splash oil the suction system makes use of
Schaller's special suction funnels working independent of the rotation sense of the
engine. Additional draining components ensure correct working under all operating
conditions. This includes the application in power plants as well as on vessels with
their static or dynamic inclinations. False alarms initiated by condensing water
vapour are prevented by an integrated heater inside the measuring head housing.
Three different types of the VISATRON® series VN93 oil mist detectors are
available (see Figure 1):
x VN115/93
x VN116/93
x VN215/93
All devices have a measuring head (2) which includes the optical measuring track
under the control cover (3), a label on the front side and a display to give the user
all important information for normal operations conditions. The measuring head is
mounted on a vibration protected base plate.

The negative pressure for the suction system is generated by an air jet pump (1)
working with the Venturi principle. The electrical interface is integrated within a
socket housing (5). The device can be connected directly to the engine safety
system. The interface includes two Oil-Mist-Alarm outputs, a Pre-Alarm output and
a Ready signal.
VN115/93
The suction system is connected to the common "Connecting Box" (4). This type of
oil mist detector is able to detect an oil mist alarm, without identifying the location
of the oil mist source inside the engine.
VN116/93
The suction system is connected to the "Valve Box 116" (4). This type of oil mist
detector is able to detect an oil mist alarm, indicating in the valve box window the
left or right side of the detector with the highest oil mist concentration.
VN215/93
The suction system is connected to the "Valve Box 215" (6). This type of oil mist
detector is able to detect an oil mist alarm, indicating in the valve box window the
compartment with the highest oil mist concentration.
In normal operation mode all models sample the atmosphere of the engine at all
suction points in parallel through the suction system to the measuring head. Upon
detection of an oil mist alarm the models VN116 and VN215 start an additional
search run to determine the location of the highest oil mist concentration. The
reaction time to an alarm is totally independent of the search run.
The devices offer two alarm levels: Main-Alarm and Pre-Alarm. They can be
adjusted by the light buttons (see chapter 4).

To keep the optical track clean all models use clean scavenging air in front of the
filter glasses. This air is derived from the compressed air driving the air jet pump.
The devices can be ordered as single OMD device or integrated in a mounting unit.
In this case the scope of supply includes an additional pressure reducer and a
protection cover.

The suction system always requires a so called 'suction funnel' at each suction
point. This prevents the system against incoming splash oil. During normal
operation mode of an engine the OMD sucks out a small concentration of oil mist
which was generated by blow-by or mechanical spraying. This oil mist intercepts in
the suction pipes and must be drained back to the crankcase.
Figure 3:
siphon block VN180 siphon block VN280plus pipe siphon
The best method on a VN115/93 and VN116/93 installation to drain the system is
to use pipe siphons. Also recommended is the use of siphon blocks.

On 2-stroke engines the crankcase and the combustion chambers are separated by
stuffing boxes, which let the crankcase be nearly free of blow-by. Therefore it's also
possible to use the suction funnel as a draining device. In this case it is necessary
to mount the suction pipes with an inclination of greater than 6°.
To become independent from fast changes of the engine room air pressure, it is
recommended that the output of the air jet pump is blown back into the crankcase.
If the air is blown into the engine room, SCHALLER AUTOMATION offers an optional
oil separator which should be mounted directly to the output of the pump.
Thus, the series VN93 is a further contribution to safety at sea. Our goal is to avert
damage to assets, personnel and the environment.

2 Installation instructions
2.1.1 Basics
There are multiple potential sources of oil mist inside an engine. These are for
example defective main bearings, connecting rod bearings as well as piston
seizures, chains and covers of pumps. For each of these individual sources you
could determine the "optimum" suction point. The result would be a vast number of
holes to be distributed over the entire engine. To find out a safe and economic
solution to monitor oil mist SCHALLER AUTOMATION recommends the OMDEA-test
(Oil Mist Detection Efficiency Approval). In each case the following rules are
recommended.

x If possible mount the device on the engine side opposite to the crankcase
relief valves to reduce danger to the crew during a damage situation.
x If possible place the VISATRON® detection unit in the center of the engine to
avoid long pipe runs.
x Select only suction points which allow the use of long suction funnels. In this
case the installation side is independent from the rotation sense of the
engine. Installations without any suction funnels are not allowed.
x If recommended by engine builder, determine an additional suction point at
the camshaft bed.
SCHALLER AUTOMATION recommends a final test procedure per engine
type called OMDEA (Oil Mist Detection Efficiency Approval).
According to the IACS unified requirement M10 the installation drawings have to be
approved from engine builder and SCHALLER AUTOMATION. The installations have
to be executed in compliance with these drawings and the contents of this manual.

According to the pin assignment of Figure 26 connect the VISATRON® device to the
24 Volts power supply. The supply voltage can be potential free or not. The earth
connection between the OMD and the engine is carried out by the fixing screws of
the base plate or protection cover.
Additionally connect one alarm relay output to the safety system of the engine. As
specified by the classification societies the 'Alarm' relay must be connected either to
the shutdown or to the slow-down input.
During normal operation the alarm relay is switched off. In case of an oil mist alarm
the relay is switched on. To monitor this output, a wire break resistor is installed
(between pin 7 and 8 and between 15 and 16 as shown in Figure 26).
To replace the wire break resistors the measuring head has to be dismounted. The
resistors (see Figure 25) are located on the rear side under the plastic cover (see
Figure 24). The plastic cover can be removed via the screws. Do not forget to write
the resistor value on the plastic cover with a permanent marker.

As required by IACS UR M10 the OMD device can be connected to Schaller's remote
monitoring devices Remote Indicator II or ReCon DS23 to monitor the oil mist
concentration and the OMD status from a safe location.
The used communication cable must be twisted pair and shielded. We recommend
LAPPKABEL UNITRONIC-FD CP (TP) plus UL-CSA, AWG20. The total bus length is
limited to 400 m. The VISATRON® device cable entry (see Figure 27) at the
VISATRON device is designed for cable diameter between 7.5 and 10.0 mm.

The IACS UR 67 requires an oil mist alarm at 5% of the Lower Explosion Level
(LEL). The LEL is equal to 47mg/l oil mist concentration in air at a temperature of
25 °C, which means that the OMD is required to indicate an oil mist alarm at
approx. 2.5mg/l.
Table 2: Sensitivity switch position and corresponding oil mist alarm level
Inside the measuring head 2.5mg/l oil mist concentration is approx. 23% absolute
opacity compared to the full measuring range.
The number of suction points, the different oil mist concentration in the
compartments and the progress of oil mist occurrence can influence the amount of
oil mist being sucked out of the engine to the measuring head. Therefore the
amount of oil mist concentration to be detected is variable. The use of the alarm
levels 3 and 4 is in accordance to the unified requirements M67.
The sensitivity of the VISATRON® oil mist detector can be adjusted by the light
buttons (see chapter 4).

In case of a high oil mist concentration the LED bar goes up. At 100% opacity,
compared to the alarm level, the 'Oil-Mist Alarm' LED starts blinking. If the opacity
later goes down, the alarm condition will be stored. The opacity is shown in the
right LED bar. If the highest LED is switched on the opacity is equal or higher,
compared to the alarm level.
By touching the light button ‘Up’ for longer than 3 seconds the ‘Parameter display
mode’ is activated. The available parameters are listed in Table 3. The ‘Up’ and

Both installation types can be verified by a smoke test. Due to vessels not normally
having the equipment SCHALLER AUTOMATION recommends this procedure only for
the factory test by using the SCHALLER smoke generator (see Figure 49). If a
smoke generator is available on a vessel this test can be also performed, however,
in this case observe the following warning.
A complete test including the suction funnels 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.
This is important so that the tank can provide sufficient smoke to complete the
search run of a VN116/93 installation to determine the correct engine side. 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 preformed
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 Figure 50 or has to be pressed over the open
header pipe end after removing the lock nut.

Then carry out a pressure measurement at the end of the suction system. The
engine including the oil pump must be at standstill.

On a VN115/93 and VN116/93 installation the tightness of the suction system can
be determined by a pressure measurement at the outer siphon blocks or at the end
of the header pipes.
This siphon block has an additional fitting for a manometer (see Figure 51). To
remove the 17 mm lock nut you have to counter the 19 mm nut with a jaw wrench.
The pressure measurement procedure can also performed at the end of the 22 mm
diameter suction pipes which are delivered from SCHALLER AUTOMATION. These
pipes have also fittings for the manometer at the pipe end (see Figure 52).
The minimal negative pressure values are defined in Table 6. They are only valid if
a negative pressure of 60 mm WC is adjusted at the measuring head.

VN116/93 1.5 mm WC

This test includes the indication of an oil mist alarm as well as the indication of the
affected compartment. Instead of the above mentioned smoke generator you have
to use the more powerful fog machine (see Figure 53) with a fog bag with adapter
(see Figure 54).
This equipment guarantees a constant fog concentration during the test and due to
high density no influence of the additionally sucked in crankcase atmosphere.
Due to the increasing request of the ship owners and classification societies to test
the OMD-system at running engines SCHALLER AUTOMATION recommends now
following procedure.
The first test must be performed at standstill to secure, that the engine is well
protected by the OMD system. If it is not possible to open the service covers or if it
is not possible to access the suction funnels, e.g. on large 2-stroke engines, a
functional test can be preformed alternatively using a special connection on the
siphon block or respectively on the T-engine wall connection.
Fill the fog bag completely with fog and close the adapter with the yellow cap. The
next step is to press the flexible hose of the fog bag adapter over the opened plug
at the side of the siphon blocks as seen in Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht
gefunden werden. or over the open tube end at T-engine wall connections. Do
not remove the hose until an oil mist alarm is indicated and the search run to
indicate the affected compartment is finished. The plugs can be countered by an 11
mm jaw wrench to open or close the lock screw.

The second test can be performed on request at running engine using the plugs of
