Installation
Install the Model ‘77900993” to a wall or column in an upright position using the four mounting holes on
the unit reservoir flange. The oil level gauge should be in full view, and the oil fill port, located on the top
of the reservoir, must be accessible. Allow space for adjusting the oil heater thermostat and oil heater for
maintenance.
Connect the oil mist distribution system to the 1” NPTF oil mist outlet located on the left side of the mist
head. Connect a clean, dry compressed air supply on the right side of the oil mist unit to the integral
filter/regulator (1/4” NPT). Maximum supply air pressure is 125 PSIG (8.6 BAR).
This LubriMist® Oil Mist Generator has been designed and factory tested with LubriMist®Synthetic Oil
(LSO). LSC recommends LSO for this oil mist generator in order to insure optimum performance.
Electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrician. The user wires all components
independently. See “ Electrical” section for electrical component configuration and wiring diagrams. The
low-level alarm switch can be used for local or remote annunciation (customer to provide Alarm
annunciation). The air solenoid valve and oil heater should be provided with a local user provided
disconnect.
Warning:
If the equipment is not used in the manner described in this manual, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE EARTHED.
Start-Up
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, reclassifiers, and application point connections,
vents and drains are properly installed.
To Start the LubriMist®Model “77900993”
1. Remove the oil fill cap, located on top of the mist head, and fill the oil reservoir, taking care not to
exceed the “high” level mark on the oil sight gauge. Oil selection should be made based on lubrication
and viscosity requirements dictated by the machinery components being serviced. DO NOT USE MOTOR
OIL or any other oil that has viscosity-improving additives. Replace the oil fill cap. If user furnished oil
level alarm has been installed it should now be off or “Normal.” See Figure 4 for reservoir fill capacities.
While filling the oil supply reservoir, monitor the oil level gauge. DO NOT OVER FILL. An air space must
be maintained above the oil level for mist generation and flow between the mist generator and the mist
outlet. Overfilling will result in oil overflowing out of the fill connection and onto the ground, and it will
impede oil mist generation.
2. Turn on the air supply to the integral air filter/regulator and turn on the electrical power to the air
solenoid valve to allow airflow to the mist generator.
3. Adjust the regulated air pressure by adjusting the integral air filter/regulator (Item No. 7, Figure 3) until
the desired mist pressure reading is achieved. The mist pressure gauge (Item No. 6, Figure 3) should be
set at 20” H2O for “Mist” type systems and 35” H2O for “Condensing” and “Spray” type systems. Minimum
Regulated Air Pressure is 10 PSIG (0.7 BAR).
4. Energize the oil heater circuit. Monitor the oil thermometer as the heater increases the oil temperature.
The oil heater should deenergize and maintain an operating oil temperature of 110°F (43 °C).
Adjustments to the oil temperature can be made by adjusting the oil thermostat.
CAUTION:
Adjustments to the oil heater thermostat require that the oil heater terminal enclosure
cover be removed. To avoid electrical shock and explosion hazard, turn off electrical
power before removing the cover and making adjustments. The cover should be
reinstalled and securely fastened before power is re-initiated to the unit.

Prior to making any adjustments to the oil mist generator make sure that the system is
located in a non-hazardous area and/or that the proper work permit has been obtained if
required. There is a possibility of creating an ignition source i.e. spark. Only a qualified
person should make adjustments.
Operation
The daily operation of the oil mist system has been reduced to checks of the generator and lubricated
equipment. Except for emergencies, routine adjustment of the 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.
Anychange in theoil mist pressureor in theregulated air pressure(load pressure) fromthe initial setpointsis
an indication that some component has failed. Minor adjustmentsthat mightoffset the failuresymptoms may
lead to more serious problems before detection and corrections can be made.
Daily Checks
1. Check reservoir oil level and fill as required.
THE UNIT MUST BE SHUT DOWN TO FILL THROUGH THE OIL FILL CAP.
2. Check the regulated air pressure and mist header pressure. Changes or fluctuations in mist pressure
readings indicate broken or plugged lines and fittings in the distribution system - correct as required.
3. Check reservoir oil temperature to insure that the oil heater is operating properly.
Maintenance
The following maintenance procedures are recommended to help insure proper system operation.
1. Replace air filter element semi-annually.
2. Inspect and clean interior of reservoir semi-annually.
3. Inspect and clean oil suction tube screen semi-annually.
NOTE: When draining the reservoir the fill port must be open to atmosphere.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE VORTEX MIST HEAD.
Replacement of filter/regulator element kit
A qualified person should make replacement of spare parts.
The filter element kit part number 77500472 should be cleaned or replaced whenever noticeable drop in
pressure occurs. To replace or clean the filter element, shut off and vent all air line pressure to the unit
being cleaned. Before removing spring cage, turn adjusting screw counterclockwise until it stops.
Carefully remove spring cage and bowl. Remove filter element baffle and retainer. Wipe parts clean with
soapy water or denatured alcohol.
Caution! Never use solvents like carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, acetone, or paint thinner to clean
any parts. If using compressed air to blow dry, be sure to wear appropriate eye protection. Torque bowl
before using. Torque bowl and element retainer hand tight, (5 to 10 inch/lbs).
Warning:
Shutting off the air line supply will stop oil mist from being delivered to its lubricating point
destination.
Do NOT leave oil mist generator unattended while replacing the filter element.

FIG. 5
Controlling the Oil Mist
LubriMist®Vortex oil mist generation technology allows for maximum control and adjustment of oil mist
properties. There are three basic controls, refer to Figures 3 and 6.
1. The Integral Air Filter/ Regulator is used to adjust the volume of air flow to the Vortex chamber which in
turn controls oil mist volume, refer to Item 7, Fig. No. 3. The volume of oil mist is proportioned to each
bearing orapplication point bythe reclassifier. With the airby-pass valve(described below)closed, theair
pressure regulator setting must be high enough for oil mist production (minimum 10 PSIG (0.7 BAR)).
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.
2. TheOIL FLOW VALVEcontrols oil mistdensity (oil/air ratio). Its normal positionis fully closed. Byturning
it counter clockwise toward "Less" (opening the by pass) the mist density can be reduced when leaner
density oil mist is desired. It should not be opened more thanthreeturns. Adjustments tothe oilflow valve
do not affect oil mist pressure in the distribution lines or in the generator; see Fig. 6 for location.
Note: The oil/air ratio or mist density is alsodependent on thecharacteristicsof theoil, oiltemperature, and
supply air temperature. Density decreases with lower temperatures and higher oil viscosity.
3. The AIR BY-PASS VALVE controls mist pressure without increasing oil output, its normal position is fully
closed, but by turning it counter clockwise toward "Open" more air will be added to the oil mist leaving the
generatorthus increasing mist pressure. Velocityofmist throughthe distributionlines andreclassifiers will
also increase when this valve is opened, see Fig. 6 for location.
Note: The oil/air ratio or mist density is reduced by opening the air by-pass valve. However, oil output is
not affected.
Misting Oil
All LubriMist®Oil Mist Generators are tested prior to shipment using LubriMist®Synthetic Oil (LSO). See
the following pages for MSDS information. Please note that Material Safety Data Sheets for other grades
