Visatron VN215-II 18ch

Schaller Automation Visatron VN215-II 18ch — Oil Mist Detection. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Oil Mist Detector, and it is normally installed on a large diesel engine with detector or sampling points connected to crankcase compartments and an alarm unit. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to warn of abnormal oil-mist formation that can precede a crankcase hot spot or explosion. Unlike ordinary temperature monitoring, oil-mist detection responds to aerosol concentration and is sensitive to sampling cleanliness, optical condition and engine compartment balance. Within the supplied list, neighbouring variants are distinguished by their model designations and naming, while the source does not state further model-specific hardware differences. No additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

Contaminated detector optics or sampling passages cause false alarms, slow response or detector-fault indications
Blocked or leaking sample lines cause unequal sampling and unreliable compartment comparison
Fan, pump or suction faults on aspirating systems cause low-flow alarms or loss of monitoring
Sensor or electronics faults cause unstable baseline, repeated alarms or channel failure
Incorrect cleaning, calibration or reassembly causes persistent imbalance between channels

Service & Maintenance

Inspect sampling pipes, detector chamber, optics, filters, fan or pump where fitted, drains and alarm interfaces. Keep sample passages clean and investigate repeated channel deviations rather than simply resetting alarms. Function-test alarms under the approved procedure. Refer to the manufacturer and engine documentation for the exact figure for alarm levels and calibration methods.
