Switching time diagram: Error message: Empty
If the cartridge is empty, the FlexxPump issues a change signal (rectangular pulse) on PIN 4 between High and Low with a frequency of 0.5 Hz. The output signal at PIN 4 is High (+20...30V) during nor-
mal operation. During an actual motor run of the FlexxPump, the signal switches to Low (+0V). Normally this takes between approx. 9 and 18 seconds, depending on the length of the hydraulic hoses
and the viscosity of the lubricant. Afterwards, the signal switches back to High. You can use the signal change during motor run to calculate the emptying time of the cartridge.
