The LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator is available in models designed to comply with
either North American or European electrical standards. The first entry of the IVT model code
designates the electrical standard used.
a) Equipment designed to the North American standards is compliant with Article 501 and
505 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and has been evaluated by Underwriters
Laboratories. The NEC version of the LubriMist Model IVT has a UL/CUL Listing to
Class I, Division 2, Groups B, C, D temperature code T4 and alternately Class I, Zone 2,
Group IIB + H2, T4
b) Where electrical installations require European standards, the LubriMist Model IVT Oil
Mist Generator is available to ATEX
II 3G EEx nC IIC T4.
Inlet Power:
The LubriMist Model is available for connection to either 115 or 230 VAC single-phase
power. The purchaser specifies supply voltage. Refer to the model code sheets for options
available for specific voltages and construction.
Labeling:
Designates the language used in the operator interface to display messages.
Oil Reclamation:
For installations using the patented LubriMist Closed Loop Oil Mist Systems. The oil reclamation
option includes equipment to reclaim the oil from the return mist header when closed loop
technologies are used. The Oil Mist Reclamation option includes a motor driven centrifugal
coalescer to strip the oil from the return mist stream. A pneumatic driven pump returns the collected
oil into the IVT Oil Mist Generator bulk supply reservoir. A high-level alarm switch is provided. For a
complete description see Optional Equipment under the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION section of this
manual.
Cabinet Accessories:
Several accessories are available when certain environmental and ambient conditions can be
expected. These options are recommended where aggressive or extreme site conditions
exist. The options are designed to improve operational reliability and reduce long term
maintenance. Cold and warm ambient options are available for locations where extremely hot
or cold ambient temperature may be encountered. Air purging is recommended where
extremely corrosive atmospheres may be encountered. For a complete description see
Optional Equipment under the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION section of this manual.

Inlet Air Supply


The inlet air supply enters from the rear of the IVT Oil Mist Generator (IVT). Air is filtered
through an inline filter (1) and enters a distribution manifold (2). The distribution manifold serves
to distribute the air to three separate ball valves (3). The ball valves provide ON-OFF control to,
a) the main oil mist generator head, b) the oil supply pump or c) the auxiliary oil mist generator
head.
The air supply to each device has a turn ball valve (3) to manually isolate each device for
servicing.

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

Mist Outlet Valve Assembly


The oil mist-generating head uses compressed air to produce a small droplet of oil (1-3 micron).
The oil droplets are suspended in the air and are discharged into a distribution-piping network.
The piping system then supplies the oil mist to user machinery for bearing lubrication. A specially
designed outlet-switching valve controls the flow of mist out of the IVT. The switching valve is
pneumatically controlled. As the air supply to either mist head is opened to supply air to its
associated mist-generating head, main or auxiliary, the switching valve automatically closes the
outlet of the unused generator and opens the outlet of the one being used to generate the oil
mist.
The generated oil mist exits the top of the IVT cabinet through a 2 pipe. The mist outlet pipe is
sealed as it exits the top of the IVT cabinet.

Mist Generator Head With Air / Oil Heater


The oil mist generating heads (main and auxiliary) are mounted inside of the mechanical
compartment of the IVT. Each uses oil held in separate reservoirs. Both mist generating heads
are mechanically identical. Each mist head features an inline air heater element for heating and
maintaining the air supply at a controlled temperature. The air heater element is installed through
the top of the mist head body (a block of machined aluminum) and attaches with a NPT thread.
The heater cartridge extends into a second manifold made of machined aluminum rod.

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

Air Heater Control and Cutout Sensors


The heater manifold extends into the oil reservoir to a point below the oil level. As oil is drawn into
the mist generator head, the oil passes through a drilled port in the heater manifold. In this
manor, the air heater element not only heats the air, but also heats the oil being generated into oil
mist. A type K thermocouple senses the air temperature as it enters the mist generator to provide
the temperature control and high low alarm signal. A second type K thermocouple is installed in
the air stream as it exits the air/oil heater manifold to function as a high temperature heater
cutout. The IVT controller maintains the air temperature of the main oil mist generator. The
controller produces a DC voltage output signal to control a solid state non-arcing relay for
switching power to the heater element. A separate controller and solid state relay is used for
controlling temperature for the auxiliary unit.
The heater element is interlocked through the IVT controller with the low air pressure alarm. The
heater is inoperable if the regulated air pressure is set lower than the low alarm set-point. This
ensures that air is flowing over the element before power is applied.

Oil Supply Transfer Pump and Control


The IVT Oil Mist Generator has a maximum bulk oil reserve capacity of approximately 75 gallons
(US) / 284 liters. A pneumatically operated pump transfers the oil from the bulk compartment to
the main or auxiliary mist generator reservoir as need.
Control for the main oil mist generator is maintained automatically. As oil mist is generated and
dispensed out of the IVT, the oil level in the mist generating reservoir drops. The IVT controller
receives a signal from a level switch when oil level drops to a determined level. The controller
then energizes a DC voltage solenoid operated air valve, which in turn starts the pump. The
pump fills the reservoir until the switch contacts signal the controller to de-energize the air
solenoid valve. The oil level switch assembly has a second level switch contact to provide a low
level alarm signal. Both switches are hermetically sealed reed switches. An interlock is provided
through the IVT controller that makes the air heater element inoperable while a low-level alarm is
active.
The switch assembly mounts through the top of the reservoir.
The oil level for the auxiliary unit is manually maintained.

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

Main Oil Mist Generator Controller


The IVT Oil Mist Generator includes instrumentation to monitor its operation. The operation of the
main oil mist generator and the auxiliary oil mist generator are independent, and are energized
through separate disconnect switches. In the main oil mist generator ten process variables are
monitored. If any monitored variable exceeds a predetermined high limit, or decreases below a
predetermined low limit, a fault signal is provided. The monitored operating variables are:
Incoming Supply Air Pressure
Regulated Air Supply Pressure (Main Oil Mist Generator Head)
Air Temperature (Air / Oil Heater In The Main Mist Generator Head)
Oil Supply Pressure (When Oil Pump On To Verify Operation)
Bulk Oil Reservoir Oil Level
Bulk Oil Reservoir Oil Temperature
Mist Header Pressure
Mist Density
Low Oil Level (Main Oil Mist Generator Supply)
Ambient Temperature (No alarms are associated with the Ambient Temperature Sensor)
The IVT solid-state controller provides all monitoring and control functions. Segregation of power
voltage (>30 VAC / 60 VDC) and control voltage (<30 VAC / 60 VDC) is provided by separate
enclosures. All components in the power voltage enclosure are none arcing. The enclosure is a
stainless steel NEMA type 12 enclosure. Power connections for the air/oil heater element and the
red and green status lights are made in the power voltage enclosure. Both circuits are fused.
Power to the heater is switched on/off using a non-arcing solid state relay. Switching between the
red and green status lights is done using a relay with hermetically sealed contacts. A transformer
located in the power voltage enclosure provides 24VAC supply to the low voltage controller.
The control voltage enclosure contains microprocessor controlled P/C circuitry for polling the
input signals of all peripheral sensors, transmitters and thermocouples. The input signals are
interpreted by the microprocessor to perform control and alarm function for the IVT Oil Mist
Generator. User accessible keypad and liquid crystal displays are accessible from the front
operator compartment. All circuits in and connected to the control voltage enclosure are nonincendive.

The incoming air supply is monitored using a two-wire 4-20 mA output pressure transducer. It is
mounted on the air distribution manifold in the inlet air supply. It is connected to the IVT controller
with an integral flex cord. The transducer provides the signal for high inlet air pressure alarm and
low inlet air pressure alarm. During operation the signal is used to provide an operating inlet air
pressure value.
Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
The ambient air temperature is monitored using a 100-ohm platinum RTD. The RTD sensor is
installed in a machined plastic bulkhead by use of a thermocouple tube connector. It is connected
to the IVT controller with an integral flex cord. The ambient air temperature sensor is a monitor
function only. There are no alarm functions associated with this device.

Regulated Air Pressure Transducer


The incoming air supply to the mist generator is controlled using a manually operated air pressure
regulator. The air pressure regulator adjusts and controls the airflow through the mist head by
controlling the inlet air pressure. Once the oil mist system has been commissioned, only minor
adjustments to the regulated air pressure is needed to maintain proper system operation. The
regulated air pressure transducer is located on the main oil mist-generating head. It is a two-wire
4-20 mA output pressure transducer. It is connected to the IVT controller with an integral flexible
cord. The transducer provides the signal for high regulated air pressure alarm and low regulated
air pressure alarm. During operation the signal is used to provide an operating regulated air
pressure value.

Bulk Oil Reservoir Level Transmitter


The oil level in the bulk supply reservoir is gauged using a level transmitter. The transmitter
consists of a 316SS float that travels the length of the sensor tube. The sensor tube houses a
circuit string of resistors and magnetically operated reed switches. There is a switch and resistor
every inch along the length of the tube. The circuit containing the resistors and switches is the
same length as the measured range.
As the level inside the reservoir varies, the magnetic float moves up or down the tube. When oil is
added to the reservoir the float rises to the top of the stem. The float moves down the stem as oil
is consumed. As the float moves, switches open/close thereby changing the resistance in the
circuit. The two-wire transmitter converts this resistance change to a 4-20 mA current signal
corresponding to fluid level. Resolution of the transmitter is inch (proportional to the spacing of
the sensor switches).
The level transmitter is connected to the IVT controller with a flexible cord. Through the controller,
the level transmitter monitors the level in the bulk oil reservoir and gives a high and low level
alarm.
Mist Pressure Transducer
A solid state pressure transducer is used to monitor the pressure of the mist distribution system.
This variable is referred to as Mist Pressure. The mist pressure transducer is mounted on top of
the bulk supply reservoir. It is a two-wire 4-20 mA output pressure transducer. The mist pressure
transducer is connected to the IVT controller with a flexible cord. Through the controller, the
transducer monitors the mist header pressure and gives a high and low alarm signal.
Bulk Oil Reservoir Oil Temperature Sensor
A type K thermocouple monitors the temperature in the bulk oil reservoir. The thermocouple
connects to the IVT controller with a flexible cord and monitors the oil temperature in the bulk oil
reservoir. High and low alarms are active when the oil temperature is not within a prescribed
operating range.

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

Mist Density Sensor


The LubriMist monitor is a proprietary sensor manufactured by Lubrication Systems Company.
The mist monitor is a solid state device that detects fluctuations in oil mist density. The LubriMist
oil mist monitors user selectable sensitivity adjustment provides continuous on-line monitoring of
the oil mist density in the supply header, allowing oil mist users to optimize oil consumption without
over or under lubricating machinery. Continuous monitoring is accomplished through the IVT
controller. Once the oil mist flow reaches the detector, the LubriMist monitor will automatically
respond to changes in oil / air ratio.
In operating the LubriMist monitor, it is important to understand that although any given out-put
reading may correspond to a quantitative oil/air ratio, the LubriMist monitor does not make a mass
measurement of the amount of oil suspended in the air. The out-put signal range of 0-100 percent
mist density, represents a change in the ability of a light beam to penetrate the oil mist sample as it
passes between a light source and a light detector. A mist density reading of zero indicates that no
or a very small amount of oil mist is present, thereby allowing the light to easily reach the photo
detector. As the oil/air ratio increases, the small oil particles reflect and block the light from the
detector causing a change in the mist density reading. When the light can no longer penetrate the
photo optical bench, the LubriMist monitor reads 100%. The LubriMist monitor is designed to
detect and respond to changes in oil/air ratio.
The LubriMist monitor is connected to the controller with a flexible cord. Alarms for high and low
mist density annunciate when the monitor detects an opacity reading outside of preset operating
set-points.

Oil Supply Pressure Transducer


A solid state pressure transducer is used to monitor the operation of the oil transfer pump when
the automatic oil fill feature is energized (see Oil Supply). When the level switch in the main oil
mist generator reservoir initiates the fill cycle, the pressure transducer confirms that pump
operation has started. When the oil transfer pump is cycling, its operation is monitored. The oil
pressure transducer is mounted in a manifold at the oil pump outlet. It is a two-wire 4-20 mA
output pressure transducer. The oil pressure transducer is connected to the IVT controller with a
flexible cord. Through the controller, the transducer monitors the oil pressure when the auto fill
sequence is active and gives a high and low level alarm. If a pressure alarm is detected, the
alarm remains active after the fill cycle is complete.

Auxiliary Oil Mist Generator


The IVT includes an auxiliary or spare oil mist generator. The auxiliary unit is provided for use
when maintenance or repair operations are being performed on the main oil mist generator. A
power switch is located in the operator panel for removing electrical power to the auxiliary unit
when it is not in service. The auxiliary unit is equipped with a mist generating head with air / oil
heater (see Mist Generating Head With Air/Oil Heater). A type k thermocouple and a solid state
PID type controller provide heater control. A second type k thermocouple connected to the
controller is used for high temperature alarm and cutout. The fused input AC voltage is connected
to a local terminal strip in a NEMA 12 electrical enclosure. Distribution from the terminal strip is
made to power the controller and heater element. The controller produces a DC voltage output
signal to a solid state non-arcing relay for switching power to the heater element. A second solid
state relay is wired to open the air heater element supply power if the controller detects a high
temperature condition. An alarm indicator on the operator interface of the controller indicates
when an alarm condition has been detected. Acknowledgment of the alarm is required before
heater operation is resumed.
The heater element on the auxiliary unit is interlocked with a low air pressure switch. The heater
is inoperable if a low regulated air pressure condition exists. This ensures that airflow is
established before power is applied to the element. The low air pressure switch is explosion
proof.

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

Oil Mist Reclamation


The Oil Mist Reclamation option is used when LubriMist Closed Loop Oil Mist systems are
being installed. LubriMist Closed Loop Oil Mist Systems uses the same principles to apply oil
mist for machinery lubrication as non-closed loop oil mist systems. However when closed loop
systems are installed, after the oil mist has been applied, the oil is continually reclaimed for
reapplication to the serviced rotating machinery.
As the oil mist flows through the rotating equipment bearings and bearing housings, a part of the
oil mist coalesces into liquid oil. A lesser amount of oil remains suspended in the air as it vents
from the bearing housing. This is often referred to as Stray Mist. User equipment items are
equipped with oil collection containers to collect the liquid oil that is manually pumped into the
return mist header. The stray mist is collected into a return mist header as it vents from the
bearing housing. The return mist header is connected to the Oil Mist Reclamation Unit.

The Oil Mist Reclamation unit is a self-contained unit that mounts onto the rear of the IVT Oil Mist
Generator cabinet. The returning stray mist is stripped of its oil by an electric motor driven rotating
coalescer. The returning air is vented from the unit to atmosphere. The coalesced oil is collected
in an integral receiving reservoir. A pneumatic driven transfer pump transfers the liquid oil to the
IVT bulk oil reservoir for reuse. The reservoir is equipped with a liquid level gauge to monitor the
oil level in the reservoir. A bulls-eye sight glass is located at the reservoir bottom to check for
contamination. A high-level alarm switch interlocks with the controller in the IVT main oil mist
generator to provide a system alarm. A separate output signal is provided to interlock with the
motor driver control circuit.

Bulk Oil Supply


The LubriMist IVT Oil Mist Generator has an integral 75-gallon oil supply reservoir. Prior to
commissioning the system, the bulk oil reservoir must be charged with a fresh clean supply of oil.
Oil may be pumped directly from drums or other bulk supply source through a supply hose. A
clean 10-micron (nominal) oil filter should be used while filling the bulk supply reservoir. To fill the
reservoir, follow these steps. Reference the diagram on the next page for clarification.
1) Fill the bulk oil reservoir
a) Open the operator compartment door. Verify that the Drain valves for the bulk oil
reservoir, the main oil mist generator reservoir and the auxiliary oil mist generator are in
the closed position. Valves are closed when their handles are rotated to the full clockwise position. Valves should have drain plugs installed and secure.
b) Locate the bulk oil reservoir fill cap. The cap is located to the right of the spin-on oil filter.
Loosen and unscrew the oil fill cap and set aside. Note that the cap is connected to the
reservoir with a chain to discourage misplacing.
c) Check the end of the oil fill hose for contamination. Clean away any dirt and grit that may
be in or on the hose end nozzle. Insert the hose into the fill connection and fill the
reservoir. Initial fill should be a minimum of 55-gallon drum.
IF more than one 55-gallon drum of oil is used to fill the bulk oil supply
reservoir, monitor the oil level gauge. DO NOT OVER FILL.

WARNING

The reservoir will hold approximately 75 gallons maximum.


Overfilling will result in oil overflowing out of the fill connection
and onto the ground.

d) Once filling is complete, remove the oil supply hose and reinstall the oil fill cap. The cap
is threaded and seals with an o-ring. Care should be taken to ensure proper thread
alignment and engagement. The cap needs only to be firmly tightened by hand. The oil
hose should be wiped clean and stored in a manor to avoid contamination. It will be
needed in the future for refilling the oil reservoir.

Do not use pliers or any other hand tool to grip and tighten the oil fill
cap. Tighten hand tight. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

2) Prime the oil transfer pump. The oil transfer pump is pneumatically operated and must be
primed with oil. Before priming the pump check the spin on oil filter to ensure that it is tight.
a) To prime the oil transfer pump, open the air supply valve (center) by turning the handle to
the full clock-wise position.
b) Hold the air toggle valve in the OPEN position and adjust the air pressure regulator to
start the pump. The center regulator supplies air pressure to the oil transfer pump. As the
air pressure increases the oil transfer pump will start to operate. The pumps operation will
produce a clicking sound from within the IVTs mechanical compartment. Once the
pump is primed the cycle rate will suddenly decrease and slow down.
c) Once the pump has primed, hold down the air toggle valve and while adjusting the air
pressure regulator, set the pump cycle speed between 160 and 200 cycles per minute.
Maximum oil fill rate to the main oil mist generator is at 200 cycles per minute. Once the
pump speed has been set, release the air toggle valve, leaving the air pressure setting as
is.
Do not exceed 200 cycles per minute while priming or performing

Starting The Model IVT Oil Mist Generator


CAUTION: For IVT Oil Mist Generators equipped with either the Warm Ambient
Option (Cabinet cooling) or Cold Ambient Option (Air Preheating and Cabinet
Heating) or the for ATEX constructions, refer to the respective start-up instruction
prior to starting the IVT Oil Mist Generator. The interior of the cabinet must be
conditioned prior to energizing the IVT Oil Mist Generator.
Prior to start-up recheck all connections and insure that all fittings are tight and electrical
connections are properly made. Insure that the oil mist distribution system, reclassifies and
application point connections, vents and drains are properly installed. Verify that the equipment
and systems used to maintain the air supply is in proper working order and that these supplies
are turned on at the unit air inlet connection.
The LubriMist Model "IVT" oil mist generator features a programmable solid state controller that
monitors and controls operating variables. Pre-set factory values are preprogrammed and
installed into the system both for control and alarm set points. No adjustments to the factory set
points are necessary during start-up. See Reading Alarm And Control Set Points in the section
titled OPERATING GUIDE for a listing of the factory default values for each operating variables.
Start-up of the LubriMist Model IVT is very simple and requires only a few operator initiated
actions. The steps for starting-up of the Model IVT oil mist generator are:
1. Turn ON the inlet air supply.
2. Turn ON the electrical power.
3. Set the mist header pressure.
4. Depress the CLEAR key.
These four steps are further discussed below:
1. TURN ON THE INLET AIR SUPPLY.
1.1. Locate the purchasers inlet air supply block valve installed in the supply instrument
airline between the compressed instrument air source and IVT inlet air connection. The
valve should be full opened position.
1.2. Open the door the IVT operator compartment. Locate and open the air block valves to
the main oil mist generator. Valves are open when the handles are rotated to the full
clock-wise position. Note that when the air supply is opened to the main oil mist
generator, the mist outlet valve will automatically operate. The mist outlet valve is
pneumatically operated and requires no operator action. The outlet to the main oil mist
generator will be opened. The auxiliary oil mist generator outlet will be blocked. For
additional information regarding the mist outlet valve operation, see Mist Outlet
Switching Valve in the section titled AUXILIARY OIL MIST GENERATOR of this manual.
2. TURN ON THE ELECTRICAL POWER.
Before turning on the electrical power, insure that all user provided connections are securely
fastened and that covers to all electrical enclosures and junction boxes are tightly secured.
Once the system's electrical power is turned on, the solid state control system will power up to
monitor current operating conditions by interpreting peripheral input signals. As preset critical
alarm conditions are cleared the solid state system controls all of the dependent power
systems. The solid state control used in the IVT incorporates built-in safety cutouts for the
power circuits (heaters and solenoids). When the power is first turned on, only the air solenoid
will be energized to start the oil transfer pump. For a further discussion of how all of the unit
alarms are interlocked and displayed see "LOCAL ALARMS, INDICATORS AND READOUT".
The LubriMist Model IVT oil mist generator is equipped with electrical devices that interrupt
the electrical power to either the main oil mist generator or the auxiliary oil mist
generator. This commissioning procedure is to start the main oil mist generator.
IMPORTANT: The LubriMist Model IVT oil mist generator is equipped with
electrical devices that interrupt the electrical power to either the main oil mist

Page 59 of 212

generator or the auxiliary oil mist generator. THIS COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE IS


TO START THE MAIN OIL MIST GENERATOR. Note that the power switch
arrangements for the NEC and ATEX models are different.

2.1. Locate and energize the electrical power supply at the source. The supply circuit should
be protected with a suitable current limiting device for the service. For additional
information regarding voltage and amperage ratings for the IVT Oil Mist Generator see
Electrical Power Connection in the section titled INSTALLATION of this manual.
2.2. From the IVT operator panel, locate the power switch.
NEC models are equipped with separate ON OFF power switches for the main and
auxiliary oil mist generators. The main oil mist generator power switch is located at
the top of the panel, directly above the air supply block valve servicing the main oil
mist generator.
ATEX models are equipped with a three-position selector switch ( I-O-II ). The switch
is located at the top of the operator panel. The switch center position is the OFF
position ( I-O-II ). To energize the main oil mist generator the selector switch should
be placed in the full counter clock-wise position. ( I-O-II )
2.3. Now turn on the power to the main oil mist generator. The air solenoid valve will open
and start the oil transfer pump. The main oil mist generator reservoir will begin to fill with
oil. The rising level in the reservoir can be monitored in the oil level gauge. The low oil
level alarm will clear as the level rises above the oil reservoir low-level switch. The oil
level will continue to rise until it reaches the pre-set operating control level switch. The
air solenoid valve then de-energized once the level rises to the normal operating oil
level. A fixed position level switch located in the main oil mist generator reservoir
maintains this level.
3. SET THE MIST HEADER PRESSURE.
Note that with the electrical power ON and no air passing through the system, the IVT
controller indicates alarm conditions for:
Low regulated air pressure.
Low mist pressure.
Low air temperature.
Mist Density
Also note that the air / oil heater is de-energized. The heater will not turn on until the low
regulated air pressure alarm is cleared. This is to insure that airflow through the air heater is
established before the heating element is energized. For a further information regarding all
unit alarms and their set-points, see the section titled OPERATING GUIDE of this manual.
3.1. Find the display keypad located on the operator panel and locate the button labeled
"Mist Pressure". Depress the mist pressure button. The control system display now
reads "Mist Pressure is 0".
3.2. From the IVT operator panel, locate the air pressure regulator for the main oil mist
generator. It is located directly under the air block valve for the main oil mist generator.
To increase the mist pressure, the knob on the air filter/pressure regulator is turned in a
clockwise direction. To decrease the mist pressure, turn the knob in a counter clockwise
direction. Depress the "Mist Pressure" key and monitor the mist pressure as air
pressure regulator adjustments are made. Continue to make adjustments with the air
pressure regulator until the proper mist pressure is achieved and maintained.
As the regulated air pressure increases and exceeds its low alarm set point the regulated air
pressure alarm will clear and the air / oil heater energizes. The air temperature will increase
to the normal heater control setting. If the supply air is cooler than the low temperature
setting, the low air temperature alarm will clear as the air temperature rises above the low
alarm setting.
Once the mist pressure is set, and the mist generator is operating, the mist density reading
will increase and clear the low alarm condition. The mist density output reading increases as
the oil flows through the heater manifold in air / oil heater and increases in temperature. For

Page 60 of 212

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

additional information regarding adjusting the mist density, see the section titled
CONTROLLING THE MIST.
4. DEPRESS THE CLEAR KEY
Once all of the alarms have cleared and normal operating conditions are maintained, use the
"CLEAR" key on the control panel keypad to put the IVT Oil Mist Generator into the normal
operating mode. Press the CLEAR key once to clear each of the alarm conditions that were
logged during startup. Once all of the alarm messages have been cleared, press the
CLEAR key once more to reset the status lights from fault (red-ON / green-OFF) to normal

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

Mist Density Sensor


Operation
It is important to recognize that although any given output reading may correspond to a
quantitative oil/air ratio, the oil mist sensor does not make a quantitative mass measurement of
the amount of oil in the mist. The output signal range of 0-100% represents the ability of a light
beam to penetrate the oil mist as it passes between a light source and a light detector. A mist
density reading of ZERO indicates that no or very little mist is present; the light has easily
reached the detector. As the oil/air ratio increases, the oil mist particles block the light from the
detector causing a change in the mist density reading. When light can no longer penetrate
through the oil mist particles and reach the light sensor, the monitor reads 100%.
The mist density sensor detects and responds to changes in oil/air ratio. However, variations in oil
type, grade, viscosity, and regulated air supply pressure to the mist generating head all influence
the size of the mist particle created by the generator. This also affects the instrument reading.
Other factors that effect particle size distribution and the mist density reading are oil temperature,
air temperature and oil level.
Before making adjustments, the IVT Oil Mist Generator should be in service and operating
normally for a minimum of one hour prior to making sensitivity adjustments or changes in alarm
set points. This period allows the oil output to stabilize and the mist sensor internal surfaces to
become wetted with oil.
Since the mist sensor does not measure the absolute quantity of oil in the mist, it is
recommended that a consumption test be made if you are striving to achieve a specific oil/air
ratio. Lubrication Systems Company recommends that the air oil ratio be adjusted to achieve an
oil/air ratio of 0.65 cubic inches of oil / hour / SCFM airflow. For information regarding calibration
services, contact Lubrications Systems Company.
Location Of The Mist Density Sensor
The mist density is located on top of the bulk oil reservoir. See the product description for the mist
density sensor.
Sensitivity Adjustments
The mist density monitor is equipped with a user selectable sensitivity adjustment. This feature
allows the instrument to adapt to a diverse range of lubricating oils and over a broad range of
oil/air ratios. To access the sensitivity adjustment feature, remove the screw-on cover to the
electrical enclosure of the sensor unit. Located adjacent to the wire terminals in the detector is a
series of electronic dipswitches. Separate switches are provided for 1) low 2) medium and 3) high
mist density settings. All units are shipped with the mid sensitivity switch (#2) in the ON position.
Note the switch #4 interrupts power to the LED light array and should always remain in the ON
position.
After the IVT Oil Mist Generator has been commissioned and is operational, select a sensitivity
setting to obtain a mist density reading of near 50%. Once the desired sensitivity setting has been
selected, the IVT controller monitors adjustments or changes in the mist density.

Programming User Established Alarm And Control Set Points


The LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator is shipped with standard preset values for each of
the monitored variables. However user established control and alarm set points can be
established to meet particular operating needs. To enter custom program values a selector switch
located on the main control board must be in the proper position.

WARNING

WARNING: Ensure that all previously connected sources of electrical


power are disconnected before opening the ac power enclosure and
attempting to toggle the program enable toggle switch.

WARNING

WARNING: Ensure that source power for the remote alarm circuit is
disconnected before attempting to open the ac power enclosure.

Check DIP switch setting before making set point


changes
Place #1 dip switch in the UP position to allow
user established set points.

The main control board is located in the low voltage controller enclosure.
1. To access the controller enclosure, open the mechanical access door on the left side of the
IVT console cabinet. In side the mechanical compartment and located above the reservoir
are two electrical control enclosures. The electrical enclosure located to the right is the
controller enclosure.
2. Open the controller enclosure. Locate the I/O expansion board mounted on top of the main
controller circuit board. The expansion board is mounted over the main control board using
metal spacers. The left side is hinged and swings to the left. Remove the retaining nuts on
the left side of the expansion board and swing it away from the main board.
3. Locate the DIP switch package (red) on the main board. Place the #1 dip switch (6th switch
from the left) in the UP position.
4. Re-secure the expansion board with the retaining nuts. Close and secure the controller
enclosure door and the mechanical compartment door.
5. Turn on the electrical power and remote alarm circuits.
The IVT will now accept custom control and alarm set point values.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the number 6 dip switch is moved to the UP position after
custom alarm and / or set points have been entered, the program will revert back
to the factory values. All custom values will be lost and must be reentered.

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

All user established set points are made with the key pad located in the operator compartment.
Once the program dip-switch is in the proper position, the operator has the ability to program new
alarm and/or control set points. By pressing the proper function key sequence any of the control
or alarm settings can be changed. Any number of operating variables may be changed, and they
may be addressed in any order. Exiting can be done at any time and will effect only those
settings that have been "entered" while in the program mode. Pressing the ENTER key logs a
value into memory.
The controller will only accept new values that are between the factory established high and low
settings. The programming mode therefore, allows the user to establish a narrower alarm band
around a set point within the minimum and maximum allowable values.

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator


LOCAL ALARMS, INDICATORS AND READOUT

The LubriMist Model IVT is equipped with sensors, which monitor different operating functions
for the Main Oil Mist Generator. The operating status of each of these operating functions is
enunciated in several different ways. These are:
Green LED
(normal)

Red LED
(fault)

The signal from the level switch and nine standard / two optional sensors is fed into conditioning
circuits of the controller. The conditioning circuit signal is interpreted and scaled by the program
to produce gauge values. See "Reading Unit Operating Conditions" on how to check operating
conditions.
The program performs an ordered series of control set point checks for the maximum and
minimum values of each monitored function. If the current value exceeds a maximum setting
(high alarm) or is less than a minimum setting (low alarm), the IVT controller recognizes the fault
condition and locally identifies the alarm.
The Model "IVT" locally identifies and indicates a fault condition in three ways. They are:
1) individual panel indicators, 2) fault message readout on the liquid crystal display and, 3) red
and green externally mounted unit status lights.

Page 91 of 212

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

LED Panel Indicator Lights


Red and green enunciator lights are provided to indicate the operational status of all operating
variables. When the green LED is illuminated normal operation is indicated. The red LED
indicates a fault or system failure. Enunciators are provided for air temperature, oil level (main oil
mist generator reservoir), supply air pressure, regulated air pressure (main oil mist generator), oil
mist pressure, oil supply pressure and mist density.

Liquid Crystal Display


In addition to individual status indicators, the IVT controller utilizes a display to monitor an alarm
condition. The display is directly above the local panel alarm indicators. See Item 2, Figure 17.
When an operating variable reaches an established gauge alarm setting, the alarm function is
identified on the display. Provided there is only one alarm condition the controller will identify the
current alarm. When the alarm condition is corrected and normal operation resumes, the display will
continue to identify the alarm until the display is cleared. This feature is very important in identifying
trouble alarms that may fluctuate between normal and alarm condition.

Red And Green External Status Lights


LubriMist Model IVT is equipped with large, highly visible red and green lights that show normal
operation (green) or indicate when an alarm has occurred (red). The unit status lights change
from green-on to red-on if any alarm condition is detected. The lights remain red-on / green-off
until the CLEAR key is pressed twice and all settings are back to normal. Pressing the CLEAR
key the first time clears the alarm message. Pressing the CLEAR key a second time reset s the
status lights from red-on / green-off to green-on / red-off.

WARNING

When changing the light bulbs in the RED and Green status lights,
ensure that proper replacement bulbs are used. FAILURE TO DO SO
MAY CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE CLASSIFICATION AND
RESULT IN A HAZARDOUS CONDITION FOR CERTAIN EXPLOSIVE

Event Log
The IVT controller compiles a listing of occurring events and logs them chronologically in an event
log. The log maintains in memory up to sixty-three events, adding the most recent and dropping
the most aged event once 63 events have been recorded. The type of occurrences recorded in
the event log are:
1. Exceeding any high or low alarm set point for any monitored variable.
2. Changing any control set point for any controlled variable.
3. Changing any alarm set point (high or low) for any alarm variable.
4. Resetting or clearing alarm conditions
5. Application of power / Reset - interruption of power
6. Resetting the clock or date
7. Clearing the Event / Alarm Log
8. Refilling the bulk oil reservoir
Follow these steps to access and query Event / Alarm Log information from the main oil mist
generator keypad.
1) From the normal operating screen on the display press the ENTER key. The LCD will display
a message that reads EVENT / ALARM LOG to confirm that the event log has been
accessed. The number of events contained in the log will also be displayed.
2) After approximately 3 seconds the screen will automatically display the most recent event.
Note that a number is indicated in the lower right corner of the display. This number identifies
the order of occurrence. An event numbered as #16 occurred after the previous event
numbered #15.
3) The INC and DEC keys can be used to quickly scroll through the events in order of their
occurrence.
4) When any recordable event occurs, specific operating data is recorded in the EVENT /
ALARM LOG.
a) To access operating data at the time of the recorded event press the ENTER key. The
LCD screen once again displays the event number and the time of day that the event
occurred. Also displayed is the date the event occurred.
b) Conditions for select system variables are also recorded as each event is recorded. By
once again pressing the ENTER key the screen displays select system operating values
valid at the time the queried event occurred. Note that the values are not labeled,
however they are displayed in a specific order and location on the LCD. The diagram
below shows the location for the value of each system variable.

_ AA __ BB __ CC __ DD _
_ EE __ FF __ GG __ HH _
AA = Air Temperature
BB = Ambient Temperature
CC = Bulk Oil Reservoir Level
DD = Supply Air Pressure
EE = Regulated Air Pressure
FF = Supply Oil Pressure
GG = Mist Pressure
HH = Mist Density
c) Pressing the ENTER key returns the screen to the event identification screen (step 2).
When any event number is being queried, using the ENTER key displays in circular order
the event identification screen, the time and date screen system variable screen.
5) From any screen in the event log, using the INC and DEC keys scrolls chronologically
through the event log. As event numbers are scrolled the same screen is displayed.
6) To exit the event log mode press the CLEAR key once.
7) To clear the event log, press SET SET CLEAR. Once the data log is cleared data is not
retrievable.

REMOTE COMMUNICATION AND ALARM


The LubriMist Model IVT is equipped with an alarm contact and a RS-422/485 data
communication terminal. Both can be connected a user provided unit status enunciator located at
a remote location.
The remote alarm contact is a dry FORM-C that can be used to operate remote annunciation to
indicate a unit fault or loss of power alarm. The RS-422/485 is a serial data port, capable of
transmitting at a baud rate up to 19200 bits per second.

Remote Alarm Contact


A basic on-off closure from the dry FORM-C contact can be connected to a user provided alarm.
A user furnished power source must be connected to the common terminal to power the alarm
enunciator. The relay contact is part of the same hermetically sealed relay that operates the red
and green unit status lights. Each time the unit status lights operate so do the remote alarm
contacts. These contacts are located inside of the AC power enclosure located in the left side of
mechanical compartment. See Remote Communication And Alarm Connections in the

Data and Event Log


Within the operating program of the IVT controller, the microprocessor polls all operating
variables at a specified time interval. All input signals are then scaled according to the selected
unit of measure and then posted into the Data Log. As data is posted and accumulated, the result
is a historical record of how the IVT Oil Mist Generator operated over the time. Once the data
table is full, the most aged record is dropped and the most recent record is added. The data log
contains a maximum of 2043 records posted at one-hour intervals. The data log is accessible
through the serial data port.
Additionally, an Event Log is also generated and held in memory. The event log is a record of all
alarms, adjustments and reset events. The all events are posted chronologically, and recorded
with a date time stamp. The event log is also accessible the serial data port. For additional
information see Event Log in the section titled LOCAL ALARMS, INDICATORS AND READOUT.
The IVT data communication port transmits an ASCII data string when an address character is
received. The address to send characters are as follows.
1. To transmit the EVENT LOG, send address character e to RX input
2. To transmit the DATA LOG, send address character d to RX input

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

Page 105 of 212

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

Page 106 of 212

MODBUS COMMUNICATION
The LubriMist Model IVT is equipped with a Modbus interface and software to allow for
sophisticated automatic data exchange with a host computer. The interface implements the
standard Modbus protocol originally developed by Gould Modicon and widely used as a control
and monitoring of automated equipment. Additional information on Modbus can be obtained at
the Modbus Users Webster (www.modbus.org). Detailed specifications for the Modbus protocol
can be found at www.modicon.com/techpubs/toc7.html.
Please note that the information contained in this section is not intended as a Modbus tutorial
(refer to the above sources for such information) but explains in detail only those aspects that are
particular to the IVT Oil Mist Generator. Also, the particular host computer, host computer
software, and transmission medium.
Please also note that the interface software used to communicate with the IVT Oil Mist Generator
in this document uses Modscan, developed and distributed by Win-TECH. Modscan utilizes the
standard Windows Multiple-Document-Interface, (MDI), architecture for displaying Modbus data
to the user. Additional information on Modscan can be obtained at (www.win-tech.com).
The Modbus interface uses the same data communications port described in Remote
Communication And Alarm and much of the installation information is applicable.

Overview
The Modbus feature allows the intelligent IVT controller to communicate in a sophisticated and
automatic way with a supervisory or monitoring host computer. Modbus is a master-slave
system. The IVT is designed to act as a slave with the host computer acting as the master.
The host computer is responsible for initiating all communication with the slave. The slave is
responsible for responding to the particular and varied requests sent by the master.
Modbus is a very versatile communication protocol and the IVT implements a very rich set of
Modbus features. All operating conditions of the IVT are available to be read via the Modbus.
The usefulness and overall capability of the Modbus system depends mostly on the particular
host computer and host computer software and the capabilities thereof.
The following sections explain how to install and configure the Modbus feature and how it
implements the particular functions of Modbus.

Installation
Installing and configuring the Modbus feature must follow the steps outlined below and explained
in the sections following.
1.
2.
3.
4.

Enable Modbus communication via the dipswitch.


Connect the IVT to the host computer through an RS232 RS422/485 converter.
Configure the Modbus feature via the IVT control panel.
Configure the Modbus software (Modscan) on the host computer.

Enable Modbus Communication DIP Switch


To enable Modbus communication, dipswitch #2 on the main controller board must be placed in
the DOWN position. (The UP position causes the IVT to utilize the serial port for the data and
event logs. See Remote Communication and Alarm). The dipswitch is located on the main
control board. To set the dipswitch, follow these steps:
The main control board is located in the low voltage controller enclosure.
6. To access the controller enclosure, open the mechanical access door on the left side of the

metal standoffs. The left side is hinged and swings to the left. Remove the thumbscrews on
the right side of the expansion board and swing it away from the main board.
8. Locate the dipswitch package (red) on the main board. Place the #2 dipswitch (5th switch from
the left) in the DOWN position.
9. Re-secure the expansion board with the thumbscrews. Close and secure the controller
enclosure door and the mechanical compartment door.
10. Turn on the electrical power and remote alarm circuits.

The IVT Modbus communication serial port is now enable.


Serial Data Port RS-422
The serial communication port can be connected to the serial port of most computers or other
serial Data Communication Equipment. An RS-232 RS-422/485 interface converter is
required to link to the IVT communication port. The RS-232 RS-422/485 interface converter
must be installed in a safe (non-hazardous) location.
It is recommended using (B & B Electronics converter, Model 4WSD9R).
Setup in RS-422 mode,

Configuring The IVT Oil Mist Generator


A number of settings must be configured into the IVT Oil Mist Generator for Modbus
communication to work properly. Most of these settings must also be configured into the software
of the host computer, see Configuring The Host Computer. Before the configuration can begin,
the following information will be needed:

The particular Modbus slave address to be used by this IVT unit (a number from 1 to 247)
The mode to be used for communication (RTU or ASCII)
The parity to be used for communication (Even, OFF or Odd)
The serial speed to be used for communication (300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 or 19,200
bps)

It is recommended that this information be documented in a readily accessible location for future
reference. Once this information is known, follow these steps to enter it into the IVT Oil Mist
Generator:
1. Press the SET key followed by the ENTER key.
2. Press the ENTER key again to skip over the Unit Number (it does not affect Modbus
communication). The Unit Number should be used if there is more than one IVT
connected to the same host computer.
3. The Modbus slave address should now be displayed (001 is the default). If it is not as
desired, use the INC and DEC keys to adjust. Press the ENTER key to save the address.
If there is more than one IVT connected to the host computer different slave addresses
must be used.
4. The Modbus Transmission Mode should now be displayed (RTU and ASCII). If it is not
as desired, use the INC and DEC keys to toggle the mode between RTU and ASCII.
Press the ENTER key to save the mode. (RTU is the default and Recommended)
5. The Modbus Parity should now be displayed. If it is not as desired, use the INC and DEC
keys to toggle the parity mode between Off, Even and Odd. Press the ENTER key to
save the parity mode. (EVEN is the default and Recommended)
6. The Serial Speed should now be displayed. If it is not as desired, use the INC and DEC
keys to select among the available speeds. Press the ENTER key to save the speed.
(9600 Baud Rate is the default and Recommended).
The IVT Oil Mist Generator software is now ready to begin Modbus communication.

Configuring The Host Computer


The host computer must be configured according to the specific instructions outlined below for
the Modscan screen to send and receive data to the IVT Oil Mist Generator. (See Configuring
The IVT Oil Mist Generator):
Please note if another host computer Modbus software is to be used all settings must be the
same in the IVT Oil Mist Generator as they are in the host computer. Failure to enter the correct
parameters will cause a communications error.

The Modscan screen can be customized in many different configurations, but for the purpose of
this document, only 2 will be covered.
1. Breakdown of each Function Code and its HEX Addresses.
2. Viewing the IVTs values in real time.
Before number 1 can be analyzed, below is a brief description on the Function Codes and the
HEX Addresses.

Function Codes
There are the four Function Codes that are utilized by the IVT controller program. In that, there
are 52 different parameters in the IVT program that can be read by Modscan. Each of the 52
parameters is broken down into their specific Function Codes (01---04).

Coil Status
has 6 Digital outputs
02
Input Status

03
Holding Register

04
Input register

To view a particular parameter or a range of parameters select the function code under the
(MODBUS Point Type) in the Modscan screen. In the Address (HEX) box select the start
address; in the length box select the amount of parameters to be polled. See figure 3

Page 111 of 212

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

Note; for the purpose of this procedure assume that 0001 is used in the Address (HEX) box and
1 in the length box.
Hex Address
Base 16 (Hexadecimal) digits 0 thru 9 and A thru F. A represents 10, B represents 11, C-12, D13, E-14 and F-15. Each number occupies a place value. When F is reached, the value goes to 0
and 1 is added to the next place value, so 10 would be 16 and so on. The original designers of
Modbus used 1 as the starting value of Coils, Inputs and Registers, reserving 0 for another use.
That is why in the procedure that follows, Address (HEX) 0001in the Modscan screen, will
represent 00 in the message frame, 0002 represents 01, 0003- 02, 0004-03 and so on. Refer to

1) The device ID (01)
2) The Function code (01).
3) Data Received---Has 2 sets of numbers a [01] and [02]. The [01] represents the number of
bites of value status being received (black field), meaning for every single digit added to the
length in the Modscan screen the value status received (black field) will increase by two, except
in function codes 01 (Coil Status) and 02 (Input Status) in this format. Only one value can be
polled at a time, so it is recommended to leave the length at 1 when working in Coil Status 01 in
this format.
The [02], is the value status of the address being polled.
The status of the address being polled doesnt necessarily mean it is going to come back in the
form of a 1 or 0, on or off. It can also come back in the form of Odd # or Even #, but break down
those numbers in binary form and they will be 1 or 0. From the IVT, heres how it breaks down.

The first two sets of numbers are going to be the same as the previous.
1) Is the device ID 01.
2) The Function code 03.
3) Data Received---Has 3 sets of numbers a [02] and a [07] [cf]. The first set of numbers [02]
represent the number of bites of the value status being received (black field), meaning for every
single digit added to the length in the Modscan screen two bites of data will be received, so if the
length is 1 in the Modscan screen, a [02] is sent back in the message frame being received (black
field). If the length in the Modscan screen were 2 the data sent back would be [04], if it were 3
then it would be [06] and so on.
The second set of numbers is the value being polled in HEX, Example [07] [cf] in hex is 1999 in
decimal, and this is the number identifier for that particular IVT. If the length were 2, in the
Modscan screen, from the statement previous, the data received would be [07] [cf] [00] [78]. It
would send back the first 2 sets of values in the Holding Registry from Address (HEX) 0001 which
are (LubriMist Unit Number meaning [07] [cf] in HEX or 1999 in decimal, and Air Temp. Control
Setpoint meaning [00] [78] in HEX or 120 in decimal. So if the length were set at 24, then all the
values would be received from the IVT controller, in the black field. Refer to figure 5.

3) Data Received---Has 3 sets of numbers a [02] and a [00] [44]. The first set of numbers [02]
represent the number of bites of the value status being received (black field), meaning the length
in the Modscan screen is 1 so a [02] is received in the message frame (black field). If the length in
the Modscan screen were 2 the data received would be [04], if it were 3 then it would be [06] and
so on.
The second set of numbers is the value being polled in HEX, Example [00] [44] = 68 in decimal,

General Information
All Modbus transmitted values consist of one or more 16-bit binary words. These are used in
various ways to represent the particular item or value as determined by the message context.
The format used for Coil Status or Input Status is explained first followed by that for Holding
Registers or Input Registers.
Coil Status or Input Status is transmitted in what is sometimes called a packed-bit format. This
refers to the fact that the individual status values are packed into the individual bits of a larger
16-bit data word. Specifically, the individual bits are arranged in increasing numeric order,
according to their data address, and starting at bit number zero.

S0 = Status bit transmitted with lowest address number

S15 = Status bit transmitted with highest address number

Note that if a particular transmission request involves less than 16 individual status
addresses, then the upper bits will be unused. The Modbus specification allows for many
more than 16 status bits to be transmitted at one time using multiple 16-bit words but the
IVT Oil Mist Generator has no need to ever transmit more than ten (10) at one time.
Holding Registers or Input Registers are transmitted as 16-bit words with one analog
numeric value per word. The format used is what is referred to as twos-complement
integer form. Each 16-bit value is treated as a 15-bit integer with a 1-bit sign. This
allows for the transmission of negative numbers for those registers that may need to
represent values below zero. Fifteen integer bits plus sign allow for numeric values in the
range 32768 to +32767.

Although this representation may appear strange at first, it is useful and numerically correct
because simple addition and subtraction yield correct results and it is the most commonly used
format for that reason.
The actual values transmitted for a given analog input or set point are an exact replica of what is
seen on the control panel in the selected units (English or metric) with an implied decimal point
where applicable. For example, those values with two digit positions to the right of the decimal
point would be transmitted as a numeric value of one hundred times (100x) the reading seen on
the control panel. So the value 123.45 would be transmitted as 12,345 and the host software will
need to scale accordingly. Note that this only affects those data values representing metric units
of Bars such as supply air pressure, regulated air pressure and supply oil pressure and their
related high and low alarm set points. It does not apply to any values when using English units
since all are displayed with no digits to the right of the decimal point.

Bulk Oil Supply Reservoir

General Description and Use:


The IVT Oil Mist Generator console includes an integral bulk oil supply reservoir. As oil is
consumed during the normal process of providing oil mist lubrication to the serviced equipment
the volume of oil in the bulk oil reservoir will decrease. The decrease in volume is monitored in
two ways. An oil level sight glass is located behind the front cabinet door. The operating level can
easily be check and monitored from this location. Second, the bulk oil reservoir is equipped with
an oil level transmitter that is interfaced with the IVT controller. Additional information on read
outs and remote monitoring can be found elsewhere in this manual. .

Commission The Auxiliary Oil Mist Generator


Before oil can be added to the bulk oil supply reservoir, the main oil mist-generating unit must be
shut down and the auxiliary unit must be commissioned. This being because the air space above
the oil levels in the bulk oil reservoir and the main oil mist generator is common. During normal
operation, mist flows from the main oil mist generator into the bulk oil reservoir before exiting the
IVT Oil Mist Console. This feature provides an oil mist purge on the bulk oil reservoir and keeping
it clean. Instructions for changing from the main to the auxiliary oil mist generator can be found in
the section of titled AUXILIARY OIL MIST GENERATOR.

Adding Oil To The Bulk Oil Reservoir


Once the main oil mist generator has been removed from service and the auxiliary oil mist
generator has been started oil can be added to the bulk oil reservoir. Oil may be pumped directly
from drums or other bulk supply source through a supply hose. A clean 10-micron (nominal) oil
filter should be used while filling the bulk supply reservoir. To fill the reservoir, follow these steps.
a) Open the operator compartment door. Verify that the Drain valves for the bulk oil
reservoir, the main oil mist generator reservoir and the auxiliary oil mist generator are in
the closed position. Valves are closed when their handles are rotated to the full clockwise position. Valves should have drain plugs installed and secure.
b) Locate the bulk oil reservoir fill cap. The cap is located to the right of the spin-on oil filter.
Loosen and unscrew the oil fill cap and set aside. Note that the cap is connected to the
reservoir with a chain to discourage misplacing.
c) Check the end of the oil fill hose for contamination. Clean away any dirt and grit that may
be in or on the hose end nozzle. Insert the hose into the fill connection and fill the
reservoir. Initial fill should be a minimum of 55-gallon drum.
While filling the bulk oil supply reservoir, monitor the oil level gauge. DO
NOT OVER FILL.

WARNING

The total reservoir capacity is approximately 75 gallons


maximum. Overfilling will result in oil overflowing out of the fill
connection and onto the ground.

d) Once filling is complete, remove the oil supply hose and reinstall the oil fill cap. The cap
is threaded and seals with an o-ring. Care should be taken to ensure proper thread
alignment and engagement. The cap needs only to be firmly tightened by hand. The oil
hose should be wiped clean and stored in a manor to avoid contamination. It will be
needed in the future for refilling the oil reservoir.

Take care when installing the oil fill cap. Ensure that threads are clean
prior to installing. Take care to ensure that threads are started straight
and that no cross threading occurs when installing. Do not use pliers or
any other hand tool to grip and tighten the oil fill cap. Tighten hand
tight. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

Commission The Main Oil Mist Generator


Once filling of the bulk oil reservoir is complete, remove the auxiliary oil mist generator from
service and commission the main oil mist generator. Instructions for changing from the auxiliary
to the main oil mist generator can be found in the section of titled AUXILIARY OIL MIST
GENERATOR.

Auxiliary Oil Mist Generator

General Description and Use:


The IVT Oil Mist Generator console includes an integral auxiliary oil mist generator.
The auxiliary unit is provided for use when maintenance or repair operations are being performed
on the main oil mist generator
IMPORTANT: The auxiliary oil mist generator is intended for intermittent use only.
When operated for purposes other than to perform routine maintenance or repair
of the main oil mist generator, it should be checked at the beginning of every shift
for proper operation.
The auxiliary oil mist generator is operator accessible from the operator panel. The controls for
the auxiliary oil mist generator are located on the right side of the operator panel. A separate
electrical power switch is provided in the NEC configuration of the IVT Oil Mist Generator. In the
ATEX version the three-position selector switch switches power from the main to the auxiliary oil
mist generator. Reference the descriptions in the Operator Panel section of the PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION for additional information.
A low air pressure switch is located in the mechanical compartment. Mist pressure and reservoir
oil level gauges are provided to locally monitor the mist pressure and reservoir oil level once the
unit has been placed into operation. A plugged reservoir drain valve is provided for draining and
cleaning the reservoir as needed. Just as the main oil mist generator, the auxiliary oil mist
generator includes an integral air oil heater. The heater controls are accessible from the operator
panel. Also located on the operator panel are two manually operated toggle valves for filling the
auxiliary oil reservoir from the bulk oil supply tank.

The Right side mechanical compartment encloses the air oil heater, the mist-generating head, the
low air pressure switch and the air temperature sensors. The heater element is interlocked with
the low air pressure switch and is inoperable if the regulated air pressure is less set less than 10
PSIG. This ensures that airflow is established before power is applied to the element. A regulated
air pressure gauge is mounted on the mist generator head to indicate the regulated air pressure
being supplied to the mist generator. A manual reservoir fill port and a non-adjustable pressure
pop off valve are also provided. The oil mist discharge is automatically switched between the
main and auxiliary oil mist generator as the air supplies are adjusted.

Auxiliary Oil Mist Generator Start-Up


Using the auxiliary oil mist generator is made possible by following only a few simple steps.
1) Check the reservoir oil level and fill if necessary. The reservoir is normally filled from the bulk
oil reservoir using the air operated oil transfer pump. Filling the reservoir is accomplished by
manually opening and holding BOTH toggle valves in the open position. The toggle valves
have lever type handles with spring return. The valves will revert to the closed position if they
are not manually held in the open position. This is to prevent inadvertent overfilling
IMPORTANT: The air supply valve to the auxiliary oil mist generator should be
opened prior to filling the reservoir. This will operate the mist outlet valve and
allow the air volume in the reservoir to vent through the mist outlet as the oil fills
the reservoir space. Also ensure that the reservoir drain valve is closed and the
plug secure.
Pulling UP or pressing DOWN on the valve lever opens the valves. The toggle valve located
toward the left supplies air pressure to the oil transfer pump. The toggle valve located on the
right opens the pump discharge to the auxiliary oil mist generator reservoir.
Open and hold the air and oil toggle valves in the OPEN position. When the AIR toggle valve
is opened, the transfer pump will start to operate and the oil passes through the oil filter. If the
OIL toggle valve is not held in the open position, the oil pressure opens the check valve
located on the main oil mist generator reservoir and begins to fill the main oil mist generator
reservoir. When the OIL toggle valve is held in the open position, the check valve spring
pressure forces the oil to flow through the Oil toggle valve to fill the auxiliary oil mist generator
reservoir. While filling, monitor the oil level in the oil level gauge. The reservoir should be
filled to approximately 2/3 full.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the auxiliary oil mist generator reservoir. An air space
must be maintained above the oil level for mist generation and flow between the
mist generator and the mist outlet. If your system includes auto drain legs
allowance must be made to collect the return oil volume.
The oil transfer pump speed should be limited to approximately 200 cycles per minute.
Adjusting the air pressure regulator to the oil transfer pump controls the pump speed. If the
pump fails to operate, ensure that the air supply block valve is in the open position. Pump
speed increases when the air pressure regulator knob is turned clock-wise. The pump speed
decreases when the regulator knob is adjusted in the counter-clock wise direction.
When the auxiliary oil mist generator is initially filled from a dry reservoir, the fill time to 2/3
full is approximately 10 minutes. The pump discharge rate at 200 cycles per minute is
approximately 0.71 GPM (2.9 liters per minute).

IMPORTANT: The main oil mist generator may be allowed to continue to operate
while the auxiliary oil mist generator is allowed to fill. If the main unit is allowed to
operate, place the air pressure regulator for the auxiliary oil mist generator in the
closed or full counter-clock wise position prior to opening the supply air valve.
Failure to do so may result in a high mist pressure condition.
2) Turn OFF the electrical power to the main oil mist generator
a) The electrical power switch is located in the top of the operator panel. Separate power
switches are provided for the main and auxiliary oil mist generators in NEC configured
units. The main oil mist generator switch is located on the left side. Move the switch to
the OFF position.
b) For ATEX configured units, power is supplied through a three-position selector switch. To
turn power OFF to the main oil mist generator move the selector switch to the center
position.( I O II )
3) Turn OFF the air supply to the main oil mist generator.
a) Adjust the air pressure regulator to the closed position. Turning the adjustment knob on
the air pressure regulator in the full counter clockwise position places it in the closed
position. The mist pressure will bleed to zero.
b) Close the air supply block valve to the main oil mist generator. If the air supply to the
auxiliary unit is ON, the mist outlet valve will operate to close the mist outlet to the main
oil mist generator.
4) Turn ON the air supply to the auxiliary oil mist generator and adjust the mist pressure. The air
supply block valve must be in the open position. Turning the air pressure regulator
adjustment knob makes adjustments to the mist pressure. Turning the knob in the clock-wise
direction increases mist pressure. Turning it in the counter-clock wise direction decreases the
mist pressure. Monitor the mist pressure gauge as adjustments are made. Normal mist
pressure setting is 20 inches of water / 50 m BAR.
5) Turn ON the electrical power to the auxiliary oil mist generator
a) The electrical power switch is located in the top of the operator panel. Separate power
switches are provided for the main and auxiliary oil mist generators in NEC configured
units. The auxiliary oil mist generator switch is located on the right side. Move the switch
to the ON position.
b) For ATEX configured units, power is supplied through a three-position selector switch. To
turn power ON to the auxiliary unit move the selector switch to the right position.( I O II )
Once the auxiliary oil mist generator has been commissioned, check the air oil heater for
operation and proper set point.

Operation
Once the auxiliary oil mist generator has been placed in operation, maintenance and repair to the
main oil mist generator can be performed. The main oil mist generator should be placed back in
service as soon as possible.
If the auxiliary oil mist generator remains in operation for an extended time period, it should be
monitored to ensure that the oil level, air temperature and mist pressure is maintained. As oil is
consumed, refilling the reservoir can be done with the unit in full operation by holding both toggle
valves in the open position while monitoring the rising level in the oil level sight glass. Reference
step no. 1 above.

Air / Oil Heater Operation And Temperature Adjustment.


The auxiliary oil mist generator is equipped with an integral air oil heater. This is the same as the
heater assembly installed on the main oil mist generator reservoir. A separate solid state
controller controls the heater element for the auxiliary oil mist generator. See the section titled
Auxiliary Oil Mist Generator in the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION section for further description of the
heater and its controls.
IMPORTANT: The heater element controls are interlocked with the low air
pressure switch. The heater remains inoperable until the regulated air pressure
increases above 10 PSI. This is to ensure that airflow over the element has been
established before electrical power is applied. To check the regulated air
pressure, open the right side mechanical compartment door to view the regulated
air pressure gauge. The gauge is mounted on the right side of the mist generating
head body.
Readout and parameter management is performed through the LED display and membrane panel
key switches. When the power is shut off, or in case of power failure, control parameters are
saved in non-volatile memory. The components are specified for operation from 40 to +180 F /
-40 to +82 C)
The controller is a dual thermocouple unit with solid state relay voltage drive outputs for control
and alarm functions. The control uses type K thermocouples. The temperature control
thermocouple provides the signal for switching the electrical power via a solid state relay. A
second type K thermocouple is used for a high temperature alarm and heater cutout.
Controller Operation
The control begins operation as soon as power is applied and shows the process temperature
display.
The control output (SSR1) will be fully ON if the temperature of the control thermocouple (#1) is
below the programmed bandwidth, fully OFF above the programmed bandwidth and proportional
within the bandwidth.
If the temperature of the cutout thermocouple (#2) is below the programmed cutoff Set-point, the
cutout output (SSR2) will be ON. If the temperature of the #2 thermocouple is above the
programmed cutoff Set-point, SSR2 will be OFF.
If the temperature of thermocouple #2 falls below the programmed Low Alarm Set-point, the
LED on the front panel will be illuminated.
If either thermocouple sensor becomes open circuited, the display will read EEEE and both SSR
outputs will be held in OFF until the problem is corrected.
If the regulated air pressure switch contacts are OPEN (low pressure), the HEAT and CUTOFF
outputs will be held OFF. When the regulated air pressure exceeds 10 PSIG, these outputs
function normally.

Programming And Changing Set-points


The default control set point for the auxiliary air / oil heater is 120 F / 49 C. The high
temperature cutout is preset at 140 F / 60 C. The low temperature alarm setting is 100 F / 38
C. All temperature settings can be viewed or changed by following the following procedure.
Push the SET key once. The display will show the current heater control Set point and the
rightmost digit will display 1. The Up and DOWN arrow keys will adjust the process control Setpoint between the limits of 100 - 140 F / 38 - 60 C. Pushing SET again will advance to the next
parameter, but if the key is not pressed for 10 seconds, the control will automatically return to the
temperature display and control screen.

Page 132 of 212

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

Push the SET key again. The display will show the current BANDWIDTH and the rightmost digit
will display b. The UP and DOWN keys will adjust the bandwidth between the limits of 0.5 and
20.0 F / 0.3 11.1 C. Bandwidth is the effective gain of the controller. A small bandwidth will
approach ON-OFF type control while a large bandwidth will accommodate thermal systems with
more time lag. The factory set default is 0.5, however optimizing heater operation to suit site
conditions may be done in the field. Pushing SET again will advance to the next parameter, but if
the key is not pressed for 10 seconds, the control will automatically return to the temperature
display and control screen.
Push the SET key again. The display will show the current temperature cutoff Set-point and the
rightmost digit will display 2. The UP and DOWN keys will adjust the temperature cutoff between
the limits of 100 - 190 F ( 38 - 87 C ). Pushing SET again will advance to the next parameter,
but if the key is not pressed for 10 seconds, the control will automatically return to the
temperature display and control screen.
Push the SET key again. The display will show the current alarm Set-point and the rightmost digit
will display 3. The UP and DOWN keys will adjust the alarm Set-point between the limits of 60 100F ( 16 - 38 C ). Pushing SET again will advance to the temperature display and control
screen, but if the key is not pressed for 10 seconds, the control will automatically return to the
temperature display and control screen anyway.
The air / oil heater will now resume control at the new control and alarm settings.

Switching From The Auxiliary Oil Mist Generator To The Main Oil Mist Generator.
Once the main oil mist generator has been serviced or repaired, it should be put back in service.
1) Turn OFF the electrical power to the auxiliary oil mist generator The electrical power switch is
located in the top of the operator panel
a) Separate power switches are provided for the main and auxiliary oil mist generators in
NEC configured units. The auxiliary oil mist generator switch is located on the right side.
Move the switch to the OFF position.
b) For ATEX configured units, power is supplied through a three-position selector switch. To
turn power OFF to the auxiliary unit move the selector switch to the center position.( I O II
)
2) Turn OFF the air supply to the auxiliary oil mist generator.
a) Adjust the air pressure regulator to the closed position. Turning the adjustment knob on
the air pressure regulator in the full counter clockwise position places it in the closed
position. The mist pressure will bleed to zero.
b) Close the air supply block valve to the auxiliary oil mist generator
3) Commission the main oil mist generator as described in the section titled COMMISSIONING
in this manual.

Mist Outlet Switching Valve


The Model IVT Oil Mist Generator console is equipped with a pneumatically operated switching
valve that automatically connects the mist outlet of either the main or auxiliary oil mist generator
to the mist outlet pipe. When the air pressure is being supplied to the main oil mist generator the
mist outlet is open to the main oil mist generator and closed to the auxiliary unit. When the
auxiliary oil mist generator is operating the mist outlet valve automatically opens to the discharge
of the auxiliary oil mist generator and blocks the outlet to the main oil mist generator. If air is
being supplied to both the main and the auxiliary units, both outlet connections are open and both
units discharge mist into the distribution header system.
IMPORTANT: The main and auxiliary oil mist generators should not be operated
in parallel. The fail open design is intended to safe guard against unintentional
improper switching between the main and auxiliary oil mist generator. Failure to
properly follow instructions may result in a high mist pressure condition.

Page 134 of 212

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

The valve uses the supply and regulated air pressure being supplied to the main and auxiliary
mist generators to operate. The following operating sequence assumes the air block valves are
closed and the air pressure regulator adjustments are at zero for both oil mist generators.
1) When the main oil mist generator air block valve is opened, the air pressure signal down
stream of the valve increases to the supply pressure setting (150 PSI maximum). Air
pressure is applied to the bottom of the main air cylinder, moving the valve poppet UP, thus
opening the mist outlet to the main oil mist generator.
As the regulated air pressure setting increases, air pressure is applied to the top of the
auxiliary air cylinder. The air cylinder moves the valve poppet to the auxiliary unit discharge
DOWN and presses it against the seat.

Adjusting Air / Oil Ratio


LubriMist Vortex oil mist generation technology allows for maximum control and adjustment of
oil mist properties. There are four basic controls for adjusting the oil output of the mist generator.
1. The AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR is used to adjust the volume of air flowing into the Vortex
chamber, which in turn controls oil mist volume. The air pressure regulators are located on
the operator panel. The volume of oil mist is proportioned to each bearing or application point
by the reclassifier. With the air bypass valve (described below) closed, the air pressure
regulator setting must be high enough for oil mist production. Regulated air pressure should
be adjusted to maintain proper mist pressure. Since changes in regulated air pressure affect
the volume of oil mist produced, it also affects oil consumption. Separate air pressure
regulators are provided for the main and auxiliary oil mist generators.

The AIR / OIL HEATER controls the temperature of the oil as it is being converted from a
liquid into oil mist particles. Because oil viscosity has a definite influence on oil mist
generation, increasing and decreasing the oil temperature effects a change in the mist
density as the oil temperature is varied. Generally, when the air / oil heater is operating, the
oil temperature runs approximately 10-12 F (5-7C) cooler than the air temperature. An
increase in temperature will increase oil output. Decreasing the temperature will cause the oil
output to also decrease. See Programming User Established Alarm And Control Set Points in
the OPERATING GUIDE section of this manual for instruction on changing set points for the
main oil mist generator. Adjusting the heater controls for the auxiliary oil mist generator is
covered in the AUXILIARY OIL MIST GENERATOR section of this manual.
IMPORTANT: The oil/air ratio or mist density is also dependent on the
characteristics of the oil, oil temperature and supply air temperature. Density
decreases with lower temperatures and higher oil viscosity.

3. The OIL FLOW VALVE controls oil mist density (oil/air ratio). Its normal position is fully
closed. By turning it counter-clockwise (opening the bypass) the mist density can be reduced
when leaner density oil mist is desired. It should not be opened more than three turns.
Adjustments to the oil flow valve do not affect oil mist pressure. The oil flow valve is located
on the front of the mist generating head body. Separate mist generating heads are provided
for the main and the auxiliary oil mist generators.
Oil Flow Valve

4. The AIR BY-PASS VALVE controls mist pressure without effecting oil output. Its normal
position is fully closed, but by turning it counter clockwise more air will be added to the oil
mist leaving the generator. This essentially dilutes the air / oil ratio by adding more air.
Without reducing the regulated air pressure setting, adjusting the air by-pass valve increases
mist pressure and reduces the oil/air ratio. Velocity of mist through the distribution lines and
reclassifiers will also increase when this valve is opened. The air by-pass valve is located on
the right of the mist generating head body. Separate mist generating heads are provided for
the main and the auxiliary oil mist generators

Air By-Pass Valve

IMPORTANT: The oil / air ratio or mist density is reduced by opening the air bypass valve. However, oil output is not affected.

Changing The Mist Generating Capacity


A qualified person should make replacement of parts.
The IVT Oil Mist Generator is designed to provide oil mist lubrication for systems over a wide
range of oil mist flow requirements. The IVT package can easily be set up to service oil mist
systems with mist capacity requirements from 1.2 to 30 SCFM. The mist generators of the same
capacity are always installed in the main and auxiliary mist units.
When system flow requirements change due to the addition or deletion of mist application points,
the mist generating capacity of the IVT Oil Mist Generator must be verified. If necessary a new
mist generator insert kit can be easily installed to keep up with the new mist generating
requirements.
The IVT Oil Mist Console is shipped as one of four different mist-generating capacities. The four
different capacities are listed in the table below. Reference Tag Detail For NEC Model IVT and
Tag Detail For ATEX Model IVT in the UNIT IDENTIFICATION AND LABELING section of this
manual for additional information.

Separate mist generating cartridge kits are available for changing the mist flow requirements
when the new mist flow is outside of the specified mist generating range. The mist generator
cartridge size can be identified by making note of the number of machined rings found on the
vortex plate of each cartridge assembly. The number of rings for each capacity oil mist generating
cartridge is shown in the above table. See the figure below for location of markings.
Kits include parts to change both the main and auxiliary oil mist generators. Consult Lubrication

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Whenever equipment is provided with pure (dry sump) oil mist lubrication, it is important to insure
constant, uninterrupted operation of the oil mist lubrication systems. If a malfunction occurs, early
detection and corrections are important.
The daily operation of the oil mist system for the process operator has been reduced to checks of
the IVT Oil Mist Generator and lubricated equipment and to emergency procedures in the event
of a major malfunction. Except for emergencies, routine adjustment of the oil mist generator is
not required. Each oil mist system, once installed and balanced, supplies a constant amount of
oil mist to a number of lubrication points. Any change in the oil mist pressure or in the regulated
air pressure (load pressure) from the initial set points is an indication that some component has
failed. Minor adjustments that might offset the failure symptoms may lead to more serious
problems before detection and corrections can be made.
Keeping system adjustments to a minimum is intended to make the oil mist systems more reliable
and to insure proper operation. It is not meant to discourage the natural troubleshooting initiative
of the process technician. Operators should be familiar with "Model IVT Operating Guide",
knowing how to read gauge values and alarm settings before attempting these procedures.
1) DAILY OIL MIST GENERATOR CHECKS
a) Check mist header pressure setting @ 20 inches H2O / 50 m BAR
b) Check low mist pressure alarm setting (Factory setting is 10 inches H2O / 25 m BAR
c) Check high mist pressure alarm setting (Factory setting is 30 inches H2O / 75 m BAR
Low pressure may indicate a leak in system, reclassifiers removed from the system or
broken lines.
High pressure may indicate plugged mist fittings of an open bypass valve.
Surging pressure may indicate an oil pocket in the distribution header or inlet air pressure
not constant.
d) Check regulated air pressure and the supply air pressure. This regulated air pressure is
preset and should not be adjusted to regulate mist header pressure.
Generator will not operate properly below 10 PSIG - 0.7 BAR regulated air pressure.
Supply air pressure should be approximately 20 PSIG 1.5 BAR) above the regulated air
pressure.
e) Check for proper air temperature setting (Factory setting is 120 F - 49 C).
f)

Check oil level in the main generator reservoir.

g) Check general unit condition for leaks, broken gauges, etc. and repair as needed.
2) WEEKLY CHECKS
a) Check all control and alarm set points.
b) Clean inside of generator console and correct any leaks.
3) MAINTENANCE CHECKS
The following maintenance procedures should be performed at least on a semi-annual basis
to help insure proper system operation. If your IVT is installed in an extremely dusty or
humid environment or if you are concerned about the quality of your compressed air supply,
the maintenance schedule should be accelerated. Consult with the nearest LSC
office/service center for further discussion and recommendations.
a) Change oil filter element (P/N 77-500-487).
b) Inspect and clean the oil suction screen (P/N LS0205120).
c) Replace air filter element (P/N 77780352).
d) Inspect and thoroughly clean the interior of the oil mist generator reservoirs.

LubriMist Model IVT Oil Mist Generator

Page 145 of 212

e) Check and verify operation of the high and low set points of all alarms.
f)

Check the operation of the remote alarm circuit if one has been installed.

g) Make an overall assessment of the IVT and mist distribution system and correct obvious
deficiencies and problems.

SOLUTION
1. Turn mist inspection valve. Visually inspect oil mist quality.
2. Check oil level in mist tank. Confirm Oil Supply Level alarm on front of keypad is
not in active. Verify that the operating oil level is in the normal operating range.
Loss of oil results in loss of oil mist production.
3. Press Air Temp key. Confirm air temperature is at control set point (120F - 49C).
If customer assigned values replace factory values: To check control setting press
key combination Set, Air Temp. When finished, press the Clear key to return to
normal operating mode.
Note: Decline in Air Temperature will cause the oil viscosity to increase resulting in
a decrease in mist production.
4. Confirm mist head oil flow valve has not been adjusted further than 3 turns.
See mist head adjustment screw locations below. Closing the oil flow valve
increases the oil mist output.
Note: Excessive adjustment to this valve may compromise the oil mist heads
ability to produce quality oil mist.
5. Confirm mist head air bypass valve is not over adjusted.
Note: Excessive adjustment to this valve may over dilute the oil mist with clean
air. Closing the air by-pass valve decreases dilution. Note that adjustments using
the air bypass valve varies mist pressure.
6. Check the oil suction screen for obstruction.
Switch to Auxiliary Unit. See instructions located on interior of IVT cabinet
door.

return to normal operating mode.
2. If the mist pressure is near the Low Alarm Setting (10in H2O 25mBar) check the
oil mist header systems for broken mist lines or pipes and IVT oil mist generator for
leaks.
3. Verify that the regulated air pressure has not been changed from the original
setting established at commissioning. When adjustments are made, the EVENT
LOG records the event. See the section titled Event Log under LOCAL ALARMS,
INDICATORS AND READOUT in the Installation and Operating Manual for
instruction on how to access the event log. If it is determined that the regulated air
pressure has been changed, and that the Low Mist Pressure alarm is due the
change in regulated air pressure correct the setting. Adjust the air regulator to
achieve 20in H2O oil mist pressure, ensuring not to exceed 65PSI 4.48Bar
Regulated Air Pressure. If regulated pressure does not increase with adjustments
to air regulator. The air regulator is defective and should be replaced (LSC part no.
77780127).
4. If adequate mist pressure cannot be achieved with a functional air regulator, the
capacity of the mist head has been exceeded. This situation occurs when the mist
system is expanded to service additional equipment and bearings. If the oil mist
system has been expanded, verify that the mist head vortex size is adequate for
the service load. If the mist generating capacity has been exceeded, the vortex
cartridge will need to be replaced to next larger size. See table in IVT Operating
Instruction Manual section CONTROLLING THE MIST for part numbers, mist head
sizes and replacement instructions.

1. Confirm supply air ball valve for Auxiliary unit is closed. Main Unit and Auxiliary
Unit cannot be operated at the same time.
2. Check for plugged reclassifiers. Paraffin based oils can develop a wax buildup
through reclassifiers as the ambient temperature drops below freezing. Please
refer to oil manufacturers product data sheet for oil specifications.
3. Check the oil mist distribution header and branch lines for sags or low points that
can collect oil and obstruct the mist flow. Mist pipe blockages will result in a
surging mist pressure
4. Verify that the regulated air pressure has not been changed from the original
setting established at commissioning. When adjustments are made, the EVENT
LOG records the event. See the section titled Event Log under LOCAL ALARMS,
INDICATORS AND READOUT in the Installation and Operating Manual for
instruction on how to access the event log. If it is determined that the regulated air
pressure has been changed, and that the High Mist Pressure alarm is due the
change in regulated air pressure correct the setting. Decrease the regulated air
pressure to achieve 20in H2O oil mist pressure, ensuring not to decrease below
10PSI .69Bar. If regulated pressure does not decrease with adjustments to air
regulator. The air regulator is defective and should be replaced (LSC part no.
77780127).
Note: Oil mist generating head will not produce oil mist with a regulated air
pressure below 10PSI - .69Bar
5. If adequate mist pressure cannot be achieved while maintaining the minimum
regulated air pressure, the system oil mist flow requirement is less than the
minimum operating capacity of the mist head. This situation occurs when the mist
system is reduced and equipment is removed from the system. If the oil mist
system has been downscaled, verify that the mist head vortex size is correct for
the service load. If the mist generating capacity is over capacity, the vortex
cartridge will need to be replaced to next smaller size. See table in IVT Operating
