5.8 Setting the Discharge Period
The discharge period can be set any time via the lubricator and without having to interrupt the operation. It does
not matter if the lubrication system is switched on or off, since the system switches back to its original operating
status after the changes have been made.
For a precise setting of the discharge period, please refer to the Operating Instructions of the connected lubricator.
Additional Discharge
With an additional discharge, all open lubrication points can be supplied with an additional amount of the lubricant.
Each open outlet provides 1.0 cm
3
of the lubricant.
For an additional discharge, the lubrication system must be switched on and you have to press and hold down
both buttons of the lubricator simultaneously (refer to figure 10).
An additional discharge is carried out at each activated outlet (it takes approx. 30 seconds between outlets).
This means that if all outlets are open, the process of an additional discharge takes maximum 14 minutes.
An additional discharge is only possible at temperatures above 0 °C (32 °F) .
Every additional discharge reduces the remaining discharge period since an increased amount of the lubricant
has been supplied. This must be taken into account in your lubrication and maintenance schedule.
The time between two additional discharges is at least 30 seconds. Each additional long push of both
buttons (figure 10) will be recorded by the system and leads to further additional discharges on all outlets.
The system records up to 5 additional discharges.
Calculation of the Remaining Discharge Period
Please note, that in case of one or several additional discharges, the remaining discharge period of the lubrication
system must be recalculated. This also applies in case of a shut-off of the lubrication system due to an extended
machine standstill (e.g. weekends or annual holidays).
For information on the calculation of the remaining discharge period, please refer to the Operating Instructions of
the connected lubricator.
You should also note the result of your calculation of the remaining discharge period in your lubrication and
maintenance schedule.
figure 10 For an additional discharge, press both buttons of the lubricator and hold them down.
