VIP5 Pro Controller Control system for small and medium size Lubrication Systems Software Version 3.0 Version in compliance with Directive CE 94/9 (ATEX) User Operating and Maintenance Manual Original text translation TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION MARKING PRODUCT TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS PRODUCT FEATURES...
– controller – The control device for Lubrication Systems The Controller subject of this operating and maintenance manual is an evolution of the Vip5 Pro Atex family of advanced lubrication control system. It maintains all its basic features and has additional functions and features such as the ability to directly switch on/off three-phase pump and other devices.
This is useful for process control and generally used in re-circulating systems. 5.1 CYCLE and PULSE Control System operating Principles. The VIP5 Pro Atex control system is designed to control intermittent or continuous lubrication system with a variety of control inputs. Intermittent operating principle is based on three distinct phases.

5.1.3 STANDBY Phase During the Standby the VIP5 Pro Atex switches off the pump and waits for the start of another Lubrication Phase. The duration of the Standby phase can be determined by a countdown timer or a by an external pulse signal that can be used as a counter.

All input and output signals refer to a nominal voltage of 24Vdc. The outputs on terminal board M1 refer to voltage indicated as Vio on terminal 6 and 7 of M2. The framework is provided with (Vio) power supply input coinciding with (Vint) internal power supply via bridges on the terminals: M2: M2.5 with M2.7, M2.4 with M2.6 4.

Fig. 5 By inserting the Jumper into the bridging pins, the battery function is activated and this allows the VIP5 Pro controller to operate with the Date/time and status save function when the power is removed. Note: Every time the battery jumper is removed and reinserted causes the DATE/TIME function to be set to zero.

8. OPERATING MODE VIP5 has three different operating modes which are determined during the setup stage described previously. These are: CYCLE, PULSE and FLOW. 8.1 CYCLE Mode In Cycle mode a cycle sensor determines the completion of the LUBRICATION PHASE. If using timer setting, the Lubrication Cycle will complete when the timer expire.
Page 16
The Prelube cycle is a pre-lubrication cycle that is triggered when the system is powered on or reset. If the pre-lube cycle value is set to 1 or greater the VIP5 Pro Atex will perform the set number of Lubrication Phases.
There are four possible Cycle Monitoring Options, explained below. 1) DL – DUAL LINE Dual Line cycles generally use two pressure switches connected to P1 and P2. The VIP5 Pro controller starts the pump Power and must see that P1 switch is closed within the timeout time.

ALARM Once P1 changes state twice, the pump is MINIMUM LEVEL switched off and VIP5 Pro controller PUMP ELETTROVALVE POWER goes to standby or the Lubrication Cycle is POWER repeated for the desired number of times.
Per questo tipo di prodotto invece, nato principalmente per la gestione di impianti a linea doppia, è necessario selezionare “extended” per accedere al menù completo di configurazione. Per la lista completa dei parametri avanzati del VIP5 Pro impostabili tramite menù esteso fare riferimento alla tabella del par. 10.3.

12. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS ATTENTION: The VIP5 Pro Atex should only be repaired by qualified Dropsa technicians. 12.1 ALARM CODE TABLE The following is a list of possible alarms generated by the VIP5 Pro Atex with information for troubleshooting purposes. ALARM CODE DESCRIPTION NOTES/CHECKS/SOLUTIONS The Low level sensor has triggered.
By pressing the button located under the “Setup” label, the user can go and modify the parameter values if it is some incorrect parameter that is causing the alarm. By pressing the button located under “Reset” (or the hard reset button) the VIP5 Pro Atex will restart its programming with the last saved parameters.
