Mounting Instructions

Separate the housing from the power unit by turning the retaining ring counterclockwise.
Connect the battery to the battery cable using the plug.
Turn the cap on the lubricant cartridge counterclockwise and pull it off.
Place the full lubricant cartridge on LUB-B (label facing front). Turn the lubricant cartridge clockwise onto LUB-B.

Commissioning

Mechanical fastening
Fix LUB-B mechanically. Pay particular attention to the maximum tightening torques permissible!
Power on
Execute FIL function
Hydraulic connection
Connect the consumer hydraulically to LUB-B. If you connect tubes to LUB-B make sure that tubes and connectors are installed tightly, cleanly and correctly.
The tube length shall not exceed 5 meters, the inner tube diameter shall not be lower than 4 mm.
- Ideally, use tubes prefilled with the appropriate lubricant.
Check settings on LUB-B
Check the required values for the lubrication point at the factory settings of LUB-B and adjust them if necessary.
Factory settings: operating mode=hour mode.

Operation and settings

Two operating modes can be selected.
The hour mode-h- allows setting the number of cycles (c) within an dispensing time (h) in hours. The cycles are evenly distributed over the dispensing time. Dispensing times between 1…240 hour(s) and cycles between 1…30 can be set.
The empty time mode Et allows the emptying time of the cartridge to be set in months. Emptying times between 1…36 month(s) can be set.

Default settings operating mode hour mode -h

Dispensing time h = 3: The dispensing time is 3 hours.
Number of cycles c = 1: The number of cycles is one (1) stroke during the dispensing time.

LCD messages

The graphic above illustrates the unchangeable basic flowchart of the LUB-B menu navigation as well as the options for branching to submenus.

LUB-B can be switched on and off at several points in the menu navigation.
The INF menu provides you with an informative overview of the current LUB-B settings.
The SET menu allows you to make changes to the operating mode.
The RUN menu allows you to manually trigger a single dispense at LUB-B.
The PRO menu allows you to make changes to the LUB-B settings – and thus to its dispensing behavior.
The FIL menu allows you to manually trigger a fixed number of dispenses at LUB-B.

Actions with the activation and programming key

Turn the activation and programming key to the OPEN position and remove it from the housing of LUB-B.
Place the key on the action area on the front of LUB-B.
Remove the key from the action area as long as the desired menu item is displayed in the LCD.

SET menu

The SET menu allows you to change the operating mode of LUB-B. You can switch between hour mode -h- and empty time mode -Et-.
Setting menu

-h- Operating mode: hour mode –
hEt Operating mode: empty time mode Et

If you would like to change the operating mode, move the activation and programming key back to the action area.
When your desired operating mode is displayed on the LCD, remove the activation and programming key from the action area.

PRO menu

Being in operating mode hour mode -h-, you can change the dispensing time h as well as the number of cycles c (number of strokes). Being in PRO menu the first step is to set the dispensing time h and afterwards the number of cycles c; direct access to the number of cycles c is not possible. Being in empty time mode Et, you can change the emptying time Et in months.

FIL menu

This function enables you to prefill connected accessories (tubes, distributors,…) with the lubricant contained in the lubricant cartridge, especially during the initial start-up of LUB-B. However, the process can also be aborted manually at any time.
