6.2 Position
The system must be mounted in a way that protects it from humidity
and vibrations. It should also be easily accessible so that all other
installation work can be carried out without hindrance. Ensure that
there is sufficient circulating air to prevent the system from overhea-
ting. For information on the maximum admissible ambient tempera-
ture, see the technical data section.
The product should be mounted vertically in accordance with
documentation data.
The control panel of the control unit should be easily accessible to
allow the user to control the operation of the system and to make
various adjustments. The lubricant reservoir should be clearly visible
to easily check the lubricant level.
The location of the lubricating system always depends on the
machine configuration. However, SKF recommends to follow this
instructions:
• The projection nozzles should be placed at the starting point and
above the return belt of the conveyor chain
• The line maximum length between the central unit and the projec-
tion nozzles should not exceed 5 m.
• The connection maximum length between the central unit and the
proximity sensor should not exceed 5 m.
CAUTION
The projection nozzles and the proximity sensor operate in
different temperature ranges. It is not therefore necessary
to check the ambient temperature and the working tempe-
rature of the place where the nozzles and the sensor will be
placed.
