Technical Reference Manual-XPM3m Revision Date: August 2014
INITIAL SETUP
The following process is done at the time the oven is built. It should be required only after repair or service of the
Autolube System.
1) Locate the lubrication reservoir. ( see illustration above )
2) Fill the reservoir with the lubricant, Anderol Chain Oil (Vitronics Soltec P/N C00152 (for 1 liter)). (Remove the cap
and pour the lubrication into the top of the reservoir.
3) Start the oven converyor before you prime the lube system.
4) In the Oven Control Software click on the Oil Can Icon. This will bring up the Chain Lubrication utility dialog box.
Click on the box for Lube for Prime Period.
5) Priming the autolube system can take as much 6 hours depending on the size of the oven. The priming operation
will not shut-off automatically, therefore it MUST be monitored to prevent excess oil from dripping on the floor.
(During normal “Manual” & “Auto” Lube operations, the system does stop automatically)
NORMAL OPERATION
First, refer to Rail Chain Lubrication in the How Do I section under the Help menu in the oven software..
To perform a single manual lubrication of the conveyor chain:
Select manual lubrication in the Oven Control Software by clicking on the Oil Can Icon. This will bring up the Chain
Lubrication utility dialog box. Click on the box for Lube for Chain Distance. The conveyor chain will run, and lube oil will
be applied for two complete cycles of the chain(s).
For automatic lubrication of the conveyor chain on a regular basis:
Select automatic lubrication in the Oven Control Software by clicking on the Oil Can icon. This will bring up the Chain
Lubrication utility dialog box. Put a check mark in the box for Use Automatic Lubrication.
In automatic mode, the lubrication process does not interrupt oven processing. The chain will be lubed while there
is product in the oven.
ALARMS:
When the alarm count for lubrications has been reached a “Low Oil Message” will be displayed at the bottom of the
Operating Screen. Automatic or manual lubrication will not be permitted until the reservoir has been filled, and the
alarm reset. Reset the lubrication counter in the Oven Control Software by clicking on the Oil Can icon. This will bring
up the Chain Lubrication utility dialog box. Click on the box for Reset Lubrication Counter After Filling Tank.
This is the best time to adjust the cycles between lubes and/or the number of lubes before “Low Oil Message
alarm.
