Maintenance and repair work
It is only safe to operate the device when it is in perfect working condition. The
operator is responsible for proper and safe condition of the device, which means:
Have the specified inspections and maintenance work carried out regularly.
Carry out the specified checks before operation.
Explosion of the crankcase, for dual-fuel or gas engines
There is a risk of serious injury, including death, from explosion in the crankcase as a
result of incorrect assembly or installation.
The oil mist detector is designed to draw in gases from a potentially explosive
atmosphere (for example, the crankcase of a gas engine). The device without
ATEX approval must therefore never be used in potentially explosive
atmospheres.

SCHALLER AUTOMATION.
Make sure that damaged products are not installed or operated in the
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Modifications to the device or the electrical connections mean that it is no
longer safe to operate and there is no longer protection against explosion.
Observe the characteristics and rated operating conditions on the type and

Observe the national and local safety regulations, accident prevention
regulations and assembly and installation regulations.
