The lengths of tubing that can be used with the Splitter-MEMO applications are
determined by the base-oil viscosity at the working temperature of the grease used. The
table in Section 5.2 provides information on recommended maximum tube lengths to be
used with the Splitter-MEMO. Contact your MEMOLUB
®
distributor, PLI, or your
lubricant supplier for information on the temperature at which the base-oil of the grease
being used reaches this viscosity.
3.2 How It Works
An explanation of the operation of the Splitter-MEMO, with diagrams, is provided in the
Appendix. Also provided in the Appendix are dimensional drawings of the system when
used with each of the three sizes of MEMOLUB
®
Lubricators.
Caution: Splitter-MEMO’s are carefully pre-filled to 100% capacity at the factory with
the same grease ordered in the MEMOLUB
®
cartridge. Do not open the Splitter-MEMO
or manually activate the Stem Valve. In both cases air will be introduced into the system.
3.3 Retrofitting a MEMOLUB
®
A MEMOLUB
®
HPS can be retrofit in the field to a 2-
point Splitter-MEMO. Retrofitting is accomplished by
removing the black timing ring holder from the brass
fitting of the MEMO and placing it on the Splitter-
MEMO.
Retrofitting a MEMOLUB
®
HPS in the field may require
recharging the Splitter-MEMO with the grease being used.
SPLITTER MEMO's purchased without a MEMOLUB
®
Lubricator have been pre-
charged with lithium-based grease at the factory. If incompatible grease or a special
grease (e.g. food-grade) is to be used, it will be necessary to recharge the Splitter-MEMO.
To do this, use the Zerk grease nipple that is supplied with the Splitter-MEMO to pump
the correct grease through the outlet port labeled #1 (see illustration above). This is the
outlet port closest to the base of the Splitter-MEMO. The Splitter-MEMO must be
recharged without the MEMOLUB
®
Lubricator mounted on it. Pump grease into outlet
port #1until it seeps through the piston at the top of the Splitter.

The EPC (External Power Control) version of the MEMOLUB

HPS is
ideal for avoiding over-lubrication in applications where machinery is
used infrequently or intermittently. The MEMOLUB
®
EPC operates
under its own battery power but the lubricator is turned on and off
externally. A 12” lead-wire extending from the base of the lubricator is
connected to a relay. This relay is opened and closed in concert with
