When the BRIM process completes, the TMP runs to full speed and normal TMP process
can r
esume.
You can check the TMP inacve me (storage duraon) and reset BRIM status via:
▪ TIC – browsing to the „Service menu“, „Brg Inacve“ will display the TMP inacve
me. See TIC user manual for more details
▪ nST2 – See nST2 user manual for more details.
The purpose of recording the inacve bearing me is to maximize the life of the installed
ball bearing. If the bearings are inacve for a long me, the homogeneity of the grease
distribuon deteriorates, which leads to short-term local overheang of the grease in
the bearing when the pump is directly started up to nominal speed. This can lead to
decomposion or evaporaon of the grease. This grease is then no longer available for
the running me of the bearing and ulmately leads to earlier failure of the ball bearing.
The Bearing Run In Mode (BRIM), on the other hand, restores the homogeneity of the
grease distribuon by gently restarng the pump.
6.4 Bearing run in mode
Bearing run in mode (BRIM) is a start-up sequence for the pump designed to
precondion the bearing to opmise bearing life. The pump goes through a number of
speed steps before reaching full speed.
The BRIM process last around 4.3 hours and the LED indicates when this is running.
BRIM mode can be cancelled by sending a stop signal and then start signal to a pump
currently running the BRIM process. This is NOT recommended and may invalidate
the warranty.
BRIM mode is either triggered:
▪ automacally by the pump
▪ manually thr
ough nST2
▪ manually through the TIC, or
▪ by pressing both speed adjustment push buons (loca
ted behind the service
cover) simultaneously for 2s on the pump.
