Installation

NOTE The reliable operation depends on completely filled grease lines. Ensure that the grease lines are not blocked. Therefore, grease them before starting the device. Remove any hardened grease by purging the lube point with a manual grease gun.

NOTE The grease in the equipment and the grease in the unit should be the same or compatible.

1. Remove any contaminants around the lube point

2. Ensure a clear passage using a manual grease gun
   Remove the grease nipple and install proper connectors

3. Screw the lubricant dispenser to the lubrication point

4. Connect the cable on the lubricant dispenser to the vibration sensor cable.

5. Position the vibration sensor vertically with the cap facing downwards.

6. Press POWER to switch on. Press TEST to select the  grease capacity. Press MODE to set the dispensing time

7. Set the sensitivity of the vibration sensor (see chapter 5).

8. The lubricant dispenser is ready for operation. The display shows the correct synchronisation (see chapter 5).

9. Pull the dust protection cover over the lubricant dispenser where necessary.

Calibrate vibration sensor

1. Open the protective cap on the vibration sensor
2. Hold POWER pressed down and press MODE in order to start the vibration recognition mode. This takes 60 seconds
3. Use a screwdriver to set the wheel to 0 (10=factory setting/highest sensitivity).
4. Turn the wheel slowly in a clockwise direction until the clock symbol flashes and the red LED flickers.

Repeat the above steps as necessary in order to ensure that the vibration is recognised correctly. If you were not able to set the correct sensitivity then please move the vibration sensor.

NOTE The recognition interval for the vibration sensor during operation depends on the set lubricant capacity.

• 60/125 ml : Interval length 15 minutes
• 250 ml : Interval length 30 minutes

Mounting

Direct mounting is always preferred. If the application does not allow direct mounting, remotely assemble the unit using appropriate accessories and keep the distance from the lube point as short as possible. For remote installations use a 6 mm (outer diameter) tube pre-filled with the same or compatible grease as the grease contained in the unit.

Important information

• The lubricant dispenser is not suitable for use with oil.
• Minimize tube resistances. Narrow passages and right angles should be avoided.
• The cable on the vibration sensor may not touch the vibrating machine.
• During operation of the device a visual inspection of the device as well as of the lubrication point must be carried out regularly. The calibration of the sensor must be repeated at periodic maintenance checks in order to ensure that the vibration is correctly recognised.
• Product warranty is limited to original defects in material and workmanship and does not cover any collateral damage due to mishandling, abuse and/or any other inappropriate use of the device.
• The maximum storage temperature should not exceed +40 °C (+104 °F). Higher temperatures decrease the battery‘s lifespan. The lubricator has to be activated within two years from receiving.
• If the LCD displays after 2 years from the installation date (1.5 years for 250 ml) please replace the battery and the cartridge immediately. Dosing errors can occur after using the device for too long because of grease hardening or a reduction in battery charge.

Changing the cartridge

1. Screw off the top section and the empty cartridge. Change the battery and secure it with the clip.
2. Press the cartridge lightly so that some lubricant escapes.
3. Screw in the cartridge without overtightening it.
4. Mount the top section until it clicks.
5. Attach the included sticker to the drive unit and write the installation date and expiry dateon it.
6. Pull the dust protection cover over the lubricant dispenser where necessary.
