MKII Progressive Pump Mounted Timer
General Operation of the Lubecore™ Trailer Timer
Following is a functional description of the Lubecore™ pump
mounted timer which was designed to replace trailer timer
applications but may be used on any system. This information
pertains to model 12.079.
The 12V (12.079) timer has been designed with the capability to
operate a variety of Lubecore lubrication pump models. The
timer’s purpose is to operate the pneumatic pump electronically
with the lowest current possible.
In a trailer application, electrical current is provided to the timer by
either a connection to the trailers anti-lock braking system (ABS),
equipment lighting system or rechargeable power supply.
To prevent air from entering the lubrication pump, Lubecore
automated lubrication systems can also be equipped with a low-
level sensor. Once the follower plate triggers the low-level sensor
in the reservoir, the pump will not cycle. The sequential LED
located on the front of the timer enclosure will show an “E”
indicating an error has occurred. The pump will not initiate a cycle
again, as long as the reservoir is below minimum level.
Once the reservoir has been refilled, the timer will resume normal
operation. Upon filling the reservoir, a low-level error or “E” may
still be seen in the view port until completion of a full lubrication
cycle.
