4.3.2 Setting timer for central lubrication system
On delivery, the timer on the central lubrication system is set to lubricate in cyclic
intervals of 0.5–10 s and with an equivalent waiting time between lubrication. This
setting may need to be changed if too much lubricant is pumped out or if lubrication
is unsatisfactory.
Set the timer as follows:
Action Info/Illustration
1. Locate the central lubrication system.
The control panel is behind the small
hatch on the lubrication system at
position 1.
2. Set the function using DIP switches 4
and 5 as shown in the table below.
Function DIP switch
Cyclic lubrication interval:
The lubrication valve opens for t
on
(see step 3), closes for t
off
and opens
again for t
on
, etc.
Inverted cyclic lubrication interval:
The same as above but with the difference that the cycle starts with the
valve closed, i.e. t
off
– t
on
– t
off
, etc.
Switch-on impulse:
When the power is switched on, the lubrication valve opens for t
on
and
then closes for as long as the power is on.
Switch-on delay:
When the power is switched on, a delay is activated for t
off
before the
lubrication valve opens. The valve remains open until the power is
turned off.
3. Set the interval for t
on
using DIP switches
1–3 and the interval for t
off
using DIP
switches 6–8 as shown in the table below.
