Instrument Preparation
The preparation of this instrument for measurement is easy. All you need to do is to put in batteries
and plug in the lubrication sensor and screw it on a magnetic base.
Remark: The battery (rechargeable battery) space is behind a door in the base of the instrument.
Open the door by pressing its lower edge (the edge with hinge) then you can easily replace the
batteries – see chapter: Instrument Description – Battery Change.
Plugging in the Lubrication Sensor
Lubrication measurements require plugging in a lubrication sensor with ICP power. The sensor must
be a standard accelerometer with 100 mV/g sensitivity. The instrument is equipped with its own
source of ICP power for connected sensor.
The sensor needs to be connected at the right side plug using the supplied cable. Then a magnetic
base needs to be screwed on to the sensor.

Lubrication and Measurement
If the instrument is ready, we need to attach a lubrication head. If a sensor is not a part of lubrication
head, we attach it, by using a magnetic base, to a formerly prepared and glued measuring base. Do
not forget to remove the cover of magnetic base, which protects the magnet from weakening in
storage.
Switch on the instrument by pressing Mode. Provided that the batteries are OK, the instrument display
will show running bands and greasers (red and green). Then the instrument will automatically measure
an actual lubrication state. If your headphones are connected, you will be able to clearly hear the
bearing noise. Using
display is a column, whose height indicates a bearing lubrication state. After the instrument is switched
on, it always reaches a maximum level. We need to slowly start adding lubricant, while monitoring the
height of the column on the display and the noise in the headphones. Usually there is not much going
on in the beginning, which means that the lubricant is pushed toward the bearing, however it is not
there yet. At the moment when the lubricant reaches the bearing, the column decreases (usually its
upper red part disappears and only the green lower part remains) and noise in the headphones
decreases also. We need to add a little more lubricant, and if there is no further decrease, we end the
lubrication process.
If, at the beginning of measurement, the greaser in the lower right hand corner starts to blink, then the
signal from a bearing is very low. We have either new or a very well greased bearing. In this case we
suggest using headphones to finish lubrication.
Before we start lubricating another bearing we
