Visatron VN215 2ch

Schaller Automation Visatron VN215 2ch is a shipboard unit in the Oil Mist Detection group, classified in the source as Oil Mist Detector. It is normally installed on large diesel engines with sampling points connected from crankcase compartments to the detector. Its primary duty is to detect abnormal oil-mist concentration that can indicate overheating bearings or other developing crankcase hazards. In service it interfaces with crankcase sampling pipes, suction/scanner unit, alarm outputs, engine safety system and control-room indication. Compared with neighboring entries in the same product family, this record is the exact Schaller Automation Visatron VN215 2ch variant; the model designation should be retained unchanged when matching onboard documentation and spares. For exact limits, settings, test values and approved maintenance criteria, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

Sampling pipe blockage or leakage, typically indicated by weak/uneven sampling, channel faults or delayed response
Optical chamber contamination, typically indicated by false alarms, high baseline or sensitivity faults
Fan/pump/scanner failure, typically indicated by loss of sampling flow or detector fault alarm
Electronic or channel-switching fault, typically indicated by missing cylinders/channels or unstable readings
Incorrect zeroing/calibration from contamination or maintenance error, typically indicated by persistent alarm bias or inconsistent channel values

Service & Maintenance

Inspect and clean sampling lines and optical parts, verify suction/scanning operation, alarm outputs and channel identification, and review trend/alarm history; use manufacturer procedures for calibration and exact alarm criteria.
