The signal light

The driver or operator will be informed about the operation of the
greasing system through a signal light which is installed on the
dashboard in the cabin. The physical form of the signal light may vary,
but it is always installed so that is easily visible.

Figure 2.4

The signal light

The signal light produces the following signals:

Signal

Moment

Significance

1 x 3 seconds on.

5 seconds after switching on 
contact.

The supply voltage for the 
control unit is available and 
the signal light is OK.

1 x 2 minutes on.

After completion of a pump 
phase.

An error occurred during the 
pump phase. Precisely which 
error occur-red can be deter-
mined by using the test push-
button.

Repeatedly: 1 x 0,3 seconds 
on, followed by a pause of 2 
seconds.

After momentarily pressing 
the test pushbutton once.

A test cycle is being per-
formed via grease output 
port 1.
