You should arrange to control the pump ON/OFF with a host system that activates the pump as required and monitors the lubrication system, including checking level switch and cycle switch when installed.
Pump operates when external signal is given. No monitoring NOTE: When power is removed from the Bravo, the electronic control will save the cycle condition in memory. When power is reapplied the controller will resume the logic from exactly the same point (unless the PRELUBE option is set).
