perma PRO MP-6 Distributor - 11 -
5. Operation and Control
Please note that the perma MP-6 distributor may only be connected to a lubricator of the PRO range.
If you combine the distributor with a PRO lubricator, you also have to observe the Operating Instructions
of the lubricator.
5.1 Preparations
♦ Prior to installing the lubrication system (lubricator and distributor), all lubrication points must be pre-lubricated
and all grease lines must be sufficiently pre-filled with the same lubricant that is contained in the LC unit of the
lubricator. For this, perma-tec offers a 400 g lubrication cartridge for grease presses with the corres-
ponding lubricant (refer to “Accessories and Spare Parts”).
♦ When installing the lubrication system, the supplied perma-tec mounting device should be used. The lubricator
and the distributor should be fixed to this mounting device (refer to chapter 4.3).
♦ The grease lines must be installed and mounted correctly. Grease lines must be from perma-tec and cannot
exceed a length of 5 meters per outlet.
For the initial setting into operation of a lubricator, the pump system in the drive unit is pre-filled with SF04 from
perma’s standard range of lubricants. An exception is made with regard to lubricants for the food industry.
A complete discharge of this pump filling is guaranteed after approx. 10 discharges (carry out additional
discharges, if necessary).
5.2 Prior to Operation
♦ Check all parts of the distributor and the complete lubrication system for obvious damages!
♦ Did you correctly assemble, mount, and tighten all of the connections and the plugs of the distributor?
♦ Are the grease lines, coming from the distributor, mounted correctly on the connections?
♦ Was the drive unit of the lubricator set to the discharge period requested by the operator while taking into
account the required discharge volume and the number of open outlets?
♦ Did you correctly assemble, mount and tighten all of the parts?
5.3 Setting into Operation
♦ Open the required number of outlets by mounting the connections and seal the unused outlets with plugs
(refer to chapter 4.1).
♦ Screw together the distributor and the lubricator (refer to chapter 4.3).
♦ If required, mount the distributor together with the lubricator onto the mounting device and onto a fixing device
for wall-mounting (refer to chapter 4.3).
♦ Connect the distributor to the lubricator with the connecting cable to enable signal exchange (refer to
chapter 4.3).
♦ Determine the discharge period for the open outlets (refer to chapter 5.7).
♦ Set the discharge period with the push buttons on the lubricator (refer to chapter 5.8).
♦ Activate the desired outlets with the push buttons on the lubricator (refer to chapter 5.9).
♦ If necessary, do a manual initialization after a distributor exchange (refer to chapter 5.10).
♦ Did the lubricator correctly recognize the distributor during initialization?
♦ Carry out an additional discharge (refer to chapter 5.8).
If the drive motor has started and the green LED is lit, the lubricator has started to discharge. The display of
the lubricator indicates the remaining volume (% Vol.) of the PRO LC unit.
The operator must always check the customer-specific settings and if necessary change them before the
lubricator is set into operation! In addition, the Operating Instructions of the lubricator must be observed.
