STARTING AND OPERATING
5.1 Preparation
Before installing the lubricator, the lubrication points and any extensions must be
adequately pre-lubricated with the same lubricant which is contained in the perma
STAR CONTROL TIME.
For this purpose, perma-tec offers a 400 g lubricant cartridge for grease guns
(see chapter 10.1).
♦ Please use a STAR support flange G1/4o x G1/4i (brass/plastic) from perma-tec
for the installation of perma STAR CONTROL TIME.
♦ For horizontal mounting positions we recommend the clip (plastic) to hold the
lubricator in place.
The perma STAR installation instructions provide support for mounting of the lubrica-
tors and can be downloaded from our homepage.
5.2
Before operation
♦ Completely check the lubricator for visible damages!
♦ Check if the LC unit is filled with the requested grease or oil!
♦ Do “VOL” switches 3+4 of the four-way code switch in the drive unit match the
correct size of the LC unit (see chapter 7.3)?
♦ Do “TIME” switches 1+2 of the four-way code switch in the drive unit match the
desired discharge period (see chapter 7.3)?
♦ Oil-filled LC units: Check if an oil retaining valve is attached.
♦ Were all components properly assembled and screwed together hand-tight?
♦ Ensure that the cable is plugged into the perma STAR CONTROL TIME.
5.3
Initial operation
♦ perma STAR CONTROL TIME is delivered with a pre-set discharge period of
6 months and LC unit M120 (standard setting).
♦ On request, we can pre-set the discharge amount or discharge mode according
to
your
requirements.
Regardless of which option you choose, the operator must check the setting
again and carry out any desired changes before starting the lubricator
(see chapter 7)!
