General information

Only qualified technical personnel may install,
operate, maintain, and repair the micro-me-
tering products described in the assembly in-
structions. Qualified technical personnel are
persons who have been trained, assigned, and
instructed by the operator of the final product
into which the described microdosage system
is incorporated. Such persons are familiar with
the relevant standards, rules, accident preven-
tion regulations, and operating conditions as a
result of their training, experience, and in-
struction. They are authorized to carry out the
required activities and in doing so recognize
and avoid potential hazards.
The definition of trained personnel and the
prohibition of employing non-qualified per-
sonnel are laid down in DIN VDE 0105 and
IEC 364.
Before assembling/setting up the micro-me-
tering products, the packaging material and
any shipping braces (e.g., plugs) must be re-
moved. The packaging material must be pre-
served until any discrepancies are resolved.
Note!
Do not tilt or drop the MDR lubricant
reservoir.
During all assembly work on machinery, ob-
serve the local accident prevention regulations
as well as the applicable operating and main-
tenance specifications.
Note!
The MDR lubricant reservoir, MDU
micro-metering unit, and the entire
MDS system must be vented carefully.
A feature of the MDS microdosage system is
its ease of use. However, careful commission-
ing is required for reliable operation. After the
system has been configured and put into op-
eration, the only necessary actions are routine
checks and any adjustments that may be nec-
essary.
Careful venting of the system is a very impor-
tant point of the commissioning. Small air

pockets can strongly affect the exact metered
quantity.
For correct commissioning, the MDR lubricant
reservoir, the MDU unit, and the main lubri-
cant line must be free of any air.
Utmost cleanliness must be maintained while
installing and commissioning the MDS system.
The oils used must be filtered; prescribed filter
rating </= 5µm.
The microdosage system should be assembled
and commissioned according to the following
sequence:

Attachment of MDR lubricant reservoir
o Install the lubricant reservoir
o Electrical connection, fill level control
o Initial filling and venting
o Connect compressed air connection
