
On detecting a wheel the electric pump will operate and the Pump ON lamp (10) will
illuminate. When the electric pump operates, grease will be despatched onto the rail through
the Blade blades.

The pump will run for the set number of steps or the set period of time. The higher the
number of steps or longer the pump runs for, the more grease will be despatched onto the
rail. 17 steps or 1.25 seconds equals one revolution of the pump gears.

The number of pump steps or pump seconds can be adjusted by pressing the Pump
steps/Seconds buttons, either (4) for More second or (5) for Less seconds. A usual setting for
Pump steps would be < 6 steps and for Pump seconds would be around <0.5 seconds

Once the pump has been activated the controller enters an inhibited period, and the Pump
Inhibited lamp (11) will be illuminated. The Wheel Sensor will continue to detect wheels but
will not operate the pump again until the set number of wheels has been detected.

The Wheel Count function controls the period between pump operations. To adjust the
Wheel Count press buttons (2) for More wheels to count or (3) for Less wheels to count. As a
train passes over the Wheel Sensor the number of wheels will be counted. When the number
of wheels reaches the set amount, the pump will be activated for the set number of Pump
Steps or pump seconds. Note – For Running Rail Applications - This inhibited period function
will reset after 45 seconds if the set number of wheels have not been counted. This means
the pump will be ready to go every time a new train passes over the Wheel Sensor. For TOR
Applications – There is no resetting of the inhibited period therefore the TOR control box
carries the wheel count settings from one train to the next.

To more easily view the display panel press backlight button (12), the light will automatically
extinguish after a set time.

Central to the display is a battery voltage read-out; this is disabled while the pump is running.
Variation for TOR operation :
The Electro 5 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.
Typical Settings
Setting the wheel count and pump seconds is accomplished as described in section above
11.3.2 The required pump settings will vary for each site and depend on such items and train type
and speed. For guidance the tables below should be followed and then adjustments made
to suit local conditions during subsequent visits.
