1. OVERVIEW This equipment consists of “sensor units” that are directly mounted through the wall on the crankcase side of a diesel engine or gas engine (or EGR system : option) that collectively controls the units by communication means and “controller”. This equipment was developed by applying new techniques and ideas based on our long-term accumulated techniques related to detection of oil mist density.

(2) Mounting conditions 1) Horizontal or downward (front declined) within 15° Fig. 10 Tilt tolerance for horizontal direction 2) Rotation direction within ±5° Fig. 11 Tilt tolerance for the rotation direction (3) Insert the hood of the sensor unit into the crankcase through the threaded portion (thread size: G3/4) of the engine frame, screw in the hood to the specified length (threaded portion length of 15 mm: 10 turns or more) after winding a sealing tape, and secure the hood with the lock nut through the supplied sealing washer.

- There is the structure like oil pool, and the sensor hood sinks. In case the sensor is installed such a place, mist inlet holes of the hood may be blocked by oil and MD-SX may not detect mist density surely. Then, oil comes into mist detection area in hood from the mist inlet holes. As a result it may cause sensitivity abnormal or miss-alarms (HIGH and/or PRE- ALARM).
8.2 Controller (1) Use the controller under environmental conditions meeting the following specifications. The vibration acceleration applied to the mounting place shall be 1G or less. If the acceleration exceeds 1G, mount the controller using the separately supplied antivibration bracket or equivalent brackets through the specified rubber vibration insulators. Install the IACS M10 at a safe place far away from the engine room.
Wire the sensors in daisy chain system (connection-in-a-row system) for each engine. Use the Daihatsu option cables for the wiring between sensors and a controller. For one engine, limit the total length of the wires within 150 m from the end sensor and the controller. Even if two engines are used, the total length of the cable should be within 150 m for each engine.
(2) A general cable for ships (batch shielded cable with 4 or more cores) can be used between the junction box (terminal box) and controller when the junction box is installed on the engine body. But use a Daihatsu option cable for the wiring between sensor units, and between a sensor unit and a junction box.
Page 24
The color of cable jacket of Daihatsu optional cables are shown at this table. When you connect the Daihatsu optional cable to the general cable for ships, distinguish the power supply lines and the communication lines with a color of cable jacket, and connect it without wrong.

Setting of resistance for detecting disconnection The setting of the resistance for detecting disconnection of the controller safety circuit (High-alarm) can be changed by changing the specified jumper positions on the board. The jumper has been normally fitted to the pins 1 and 2 (open) before shipment. Fig.
Wiring of the gland type sensors Using the sensor of “gland type”, connection work for “Terminal Block” is necessary. The connection and method of wiring work for Terminal Block, please refer to [9.6 Cautions in wiring]. (1) Loose screw fastening the slide cover and slide the slide cover to reveal the terminal block. (2) Wiring connection refer to Figure 26 [SENSOR TERMINAL BLOCK LAYOUT].

(2) Wiring procedure Use the supplied special tool or 2.5 to 3.5 mm wide flat tip screwdriver. Insert the screwdriver at an angle Straighten up and insert the If properly inserted, the screw- in the setting slot (square hole). screwdriver to the full depth. driver can stay straight in the slot when hand is take off.
10. INITIAL SETUP 10.1 Initial setup of sensor units After fitting the sensor units on the engine, initialize the units while the controller power is off. Remove the lid of the sensor unit case, and operate the internal setting switches. How to take off the cover : for slide type Slide the cover to downward.
10.2 Initial setup of controller After the completion of the initial setup of the sensor units, initialize the controller with power on the controller. Refer to [11. OPERATION] for the operation procedure of the controller from initial setup to run. Initial setting menu is displayed interactively on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
Described in this item are steps from the first power ON, initial setting, and full load setting to the actual operation. For the other operation functions and details, refer to the "MD-SX OPERATION MANUAL" (Q7LT333380F). 11.1 Checks before turning the power on Always check the followings before turning the power on for the first time.
Page 35
(1) Power ON Unlock the snap type lock or the knurled lock on the right side of the controller, and then open the panel front side toward the left side. Turn the power switch on. The power is supplied to the system and the controller begins the self-diagnosis after the power switch is turned on.
(6) Full load setting is yet to be carried out and the system is in the trial operating condition. The MD-SX detector can properly operate only when [full load setting] is carried out for the mist density under the full load. If the screen as shown below is displayed, it indicates [full load setting] is yet to be carried out and the system is operating with the alarm setting-off value set as the initial value.
11.4 Initial reset This is the function to repeat the initial setting carried out when the MD-SX is turned on for the first time. For instance, when the initial setting is improperly carried out, the number of sensors or of engines must be changed, or the computed average value must be changed, you can carry out the initial setting again from the beginning with this function.
Page 38
(2) Select a sensor to temporarily lower the setting value by scrolling the screen with the upward and downward arrow keys. Select the sensor and press the [ENTER] key to define the selection. (3) Set the HIGH ALARM level for the selected sensor. The value currently detected is displayed (5 is displayed as an example here), and the value of about 10 above the currently displayed value (15 as an example here) is automatically set as the HIGH ALARM level.
12. TEST METHOD AND OPERATION CHECK (FOR IACS M10.13) To check the HIGH ALARM and PRE ALARM functions or to check operation of sensors, refer to Section [11 OPERATION]. Sensors are calibrated before delivery from our plant. So the scales will not be changed. At starting and stopping the engine during daily operation, check whether the mist levels indicated by the controller are increased.
13. APPROXIMATE VALUE OF MIST DENSITY (1) Mist density 1) The oil mist density is expressed as the weight (mg) of oil contained in 1 liter of air. It has been experimentally verified that 50 mg/L is the lower explosion limit of oil mist. 2) The oil mist density of an engine considerably varies depending on the engine type and operating conditions.
Since the sensor unit is the maintenance-free type. After installing and starting operation of the sensor unit, it is not necessary to provide maintenance services for 3 years basically. MD-SX sensor does not need the renewal parts. Regarding the contamination of the lens surface, it is necessary to be cleaned the sensor hood section when the error code 17 which means the sensitivity decreased occurred and daily operation check.
Page 42
Note) When use of the MD-SX oil mist detecting system becomes it over eight years, you should ask DAIHATSU for system operation check and maintenance by Daihatsu engineer.
