PLI, LLC
The brass fitting on the MEMO has 1⁄4” NPT thread. If the female thread on your bearing
housing is not 1⁄4” NPT, use available reduction fittings. Avoid using a reduction fitting
that is smaller than 1⁄4”-28 straight (if installed vertically) or smaller than 1/8” NPT (if
installed horizontally). Do not install MEMOLUB
®
HPS horizontally on even slightly
vibrating components. The MEMOLUB
®
HPS fitted directly on the lube point can be
used with greases having a base-oil viscosity of up to 15,000cSt at working temperature.
For assistance in determining the base-oil viscosity of a lubricant at working temperature,
contact your lubricant supplier or PLI.
7.2.2 Remote Installation
When remotely mounting the MEMOLUB
®
HPS, tubing should have an inside diameter
of no less than 1/4” (6mm) and should not exceed 40 feet in length when the ambient
temperature is 68°F or higher and when using a lubricant with a base-oil viscosity of
100cSt (refer to table in
Section 5.2
). When in doubt, consult PLI or your MEMOLUB
®
distributor.
7.3 Mounting with the 2-Point Splitter (Splitter- MEMO)
The Splitter-MEMO must be mounted with tubing of 1/4” (6mm) minimum internal
diameter and with lubricant having a maximum base-oil viscosity of 9,000cSt at working
temperature (refer to the table in
Section 5.2
). Best results will be achieved when both
tubes are the same length.
7.4 Mounting with the Progressive Distribution Block
Use only progressive distribution blocks supplied or recommended by PLI. Using other
distribution blocks could lead to malfunctions and overall mechanical failures.
When mounting, do not obstruct the inlet valve of the distribution block with sealing paste
or any other sealing material. Never plug an outlet on the distribution block with
anything other than a coupler element provided by PLI (see
Section 2.3
). Doing so would
completely stop lubricant flow in the system. The MEMOLUB
®
distribution blocks have
1/8” BSPT inlet and outlet threads.
If the need arises, it is possible to install the MEMOLUB
®
HPS remotely up to 6 feet
from the distribution block. When this is done, however, the distance between distribution
block and lube points will have to be reduced by the same length. Some grease may not
be suitable for use with the distribution block.
8 Troubleshooting
8.1 The MEMOLUB
®
HPS does not work
Perform a manual test of the MEMOLUB
®
HPS by using a MEMO with all three timing
rings in the ring-holder. If the MEMOLUB
®
HPS does not work, check the following:
• Is there a battery pack in the MEMOLUB
®
HPS and is it correctly inserted?
• Are the batteries okay? Use another battery pack to check.
