Variation for TOR operation
:
The Electro 15 is active once the control panel is switched on. The pump is activated every time the
control panel counts the set number of wheels. The wheel count may be split between two trains.
Setting the wheel count and pump seconds is accomplished as described in the section above.
11.3.2
The required pump settings will vary for each site and depends on such items such as train
type and speed. For guidance the table above should be followed and then adjustments
made to suit local conditions during subsequent visits.
Note: Settings for TOR applications are determined by site conditions.
11.3.3
For maintenance log purposes the display screen also records the total wheel count and
also the total pump steps. It is possible to zero the display following direct discussion with
Whitmore Rail.
11.3.4
The set of Test Buttons, Test Run (6) and Test Stop (7) can be used to run the pump
settings without the Wheel Sensor being activated. These buttons are useful during initial
Lubricator set-up or maintenance periods.
11.3.5
The Run Pump Button (8) can be pressed and held for continuous pump operation. This
button is useful during the initial priming of the pipes and blades.
A typical initial setting would be 2 steps and 20 wheels but will depend on the friction modifier being
used.
