Problem Prevention
The Lubecore™ automated lubrication systems are designed to be the best lubrication system
on the market today. Our team of engineers is continually working to improve the system to
ensure that the Lubecore ALS remains the best system available.
To extend the life of your Lubecore ALS and to prevent any potential service issues, please
review the following:
Air Pockets:
Air pockets can be introduced into the system by:
Filling the reservoir without bleeding the filler hose
Continued use of the lubrication system after the reservoir has reached minimum grease
level.
An air pocket in the lubrication system does not cause direct harm to the lubrication equipment,
but it does prevent the system from functioning correctly. The equipment components will be
damaged if they are not receiving the appropriate amount of lubrication.
Low Level Switch/Sensor:
Lubecore strongly recommends the use of the low level shut-off switch/sensor. When the
reservoir is empty and not refilled in time, the low-level switch/sensor shuts down the lubrication
system to prevent damage. The follower plate triggers the low-level switch/sensor when it
reaches the minimum level mark on the reservoir. The low-level switch/sensor when installed
provides feedback to the timer.
When the follower plate reaches the minimum level mark, in a truck application, the green LED
of the Smart Switch will begin to blink (2 seconds on, 2 seconds off) throughout the duration of
the lubrication cycle. The lubrication system also registers within the timer how many lubrication
cycles have been omitted until the reservoir is refilled. Once the reservoir is re-filled, the ALS
will continue its normal operation automatically.
Note: In case of a low-level event, filling the reservoir will automatically resolve the error
and normal operation will resume. However, after filling the reservoir the system timer
will still signal a low-level event, both audible and visual warnings, will initiate until the
system does one complete automatic cycle, after which the timer will reset itself.
(Pressing the test button will not reset the timer)
