Section
356 Oil mist detector
Introduction
Under certain operating conditions and with
a certain configuration the alarm function of
the oil mist detector does not trigger the
expected alarm.
To ensure a proper alarm function the
models VN115/87plus and VN215/87plus
in the configuration concerned can be
upgraded with an electronic pressure
switch.
Validity
Until further notice.

Introduction
Under certain operating conditions and with a certain configuration the alarm function of
the oil mist detector (OMD) is not working properly.
This situation can only occur when the OMD exhaust pipe is connected to the engine
crankcase and the crankcase pressure is positive and the control air supply for the OMD
is closed. In some cases the OMD does not respond accordingly, meaning it does not
trigger the expected alarm OMD failure LED No.14: “negative pressure in the measuring
compartment too low”.
To ensure that the alarm function is working properly, an electronic pressure switch
upgrade kit is available for the oil mist detector types VN115/87plus and VN215/87plus.
The upgrade kit contains pressure sensors for complementing the current flow sensors.

At first, some standard parts have to be dismounted to be able to apply the new pressure switch kit.
The following instructions will help to fit the kit on the lower section of the VISATRON VN87plus.
CAUTION! Power supply to the OMD needs to be de-energized. Pulling OMD’S main plug is
not enough!

6. Assembly of modification kit
Before assembly, check how to insert the pressure switch cable into the socket housing (Fig. 8). Depending
on situation on engine, there should be three free inlets given for cable insertion at OMD:
a) the left cable inlet at the lower side of the housing (Version A - recommended).
b) In case that the inlet is occupied by other cables, use alternatively the left or right side (Version B). The
additional adapter (included in kit) will be needed then, see Fig. 9.
Version A
Version B
Fig. 8 Fig. 9
Inlet right
Comes with cable length 500mm 260 mm
Fig. 10 Fig. 11
For version “A” cut the pressure switch cable down to 260 mm. The cable length for version “B” (use the left
inlet) also is 260 mm. Only in case you use Inlet right (Fig.9), the full length of 500mm is required.

6.1 Adapter ring
The new adapter ring is needed to be able to check the supply pressure.
Fig. 12 Fig. 13
Figure 12 shows the correct way of mounting the new adapter ring to the Venturi injector. Do not mount
it in another way!
When tightening the injector, make sure the visible thread always is looking to your face. (Fig. 12 – 13).

6.2.3 Both versions A and B
After selecting the proper inlet, connect the pressure switch to the terminal clamps (Chapter 4, page 2).
Dismantle the cable in a length of 60mm and, each wire again for about 10mm; this is the optimal length for
the clamps (use the end sleeves for wires, Fig 42). If done, connect to the terminal board (Fig. 38-44)

The above 3 pictures show the pressure switch kit in all possible versions on the Visatron OMD.
Fig. 49 shows how the look of the kit is, if the left inlet of Version B is in use and the connection can’t be
done in the other way.
After plugging in the main connector and setting the OMD’s correct suction pressure, the “OK” LED will be
visible.

7. System Test
The pressure switch kit should only be tested when it is installed at the OMD.
The following steps have to be carried out to test the kit.

 Switch on the OMD power supply (not yet compressed air)
 “air supply failure” LED at the switch will be active (OMD will be de-energized by the switch)
 Switch on the compressed air (60mmWC at the OMD’s measuring head)
 “OK” LED at the switch will be on and the OMD be operational
(green “ready LED” in OMD display on)
System is working well now.
If the “OK” or “air supply failure” LED will not work, check the wire connection in the socket housing.
Switch is not supposed to be repaired, in case of malfunction it needs to be replaced.
Failure Remedy
What you see Possible Failure Remedy
- All LED’s are off - Power supply off (24V) Check power supply or wiring
- No correct wiring
- All LED’s are off - Electronic failure Exchange the switch
(OMD ready)
- Failure LED on / OK LED off - Low or no pressure Check pressure supply or if
(OMD off) pressure hose is installed
correctly
- Failure LED on / OK LED off - Electronic failure Exchange pressure switch
(OMD ready)
- OK LED on - No correct wiring Check wiring in terminal board or
(OMD off) - No power supply from exchange pressure switch
switch (defect)
- OK LED on - Electronic failure Exchange pressure switch
(OMD not ready)
