The VN2020 / VN2020 EX devices can alternatively be tested by a smoke test. As the
test equipment is not normally available on ships, SCHALLER AUTOMATION
recommends that this test is only carried out during factory testing with the SCHALLER
smoke generator (see figure below).
If there is a smoke generator available on board a ship, this test can also be carried out.
However, the following warning must be observed in this case.
The entire oil mist detection system (including lines) can only be tested when the engine
is at a standstill.
