    Operation and Control Preparations ♦ Prior to the installation of the lubricator, the lubrication point and the complete connection tube must be sufficiently pre-lubricated with the same lubricant that the PRO LC unit contains. For this, perma-tec offers a 400 g lubrication cartridge for grease presses with the corresponding lubricant (refer to ”Accessories and Spare Parts”). ♦ When installing the perma PRO C, the supplied perma-tec mounting device should be used. ♦ When connecting the perma PRO C to your control system, the supplied perma-tec connecting cable should be used. This connection may only be established by qualified personnel. ♦ The lubricant tube must be installed and mounted correctly. The length of the lubricant tube may not exceed a maximum of 5 meters and the tube must be a perma-tec product. ♦ Please check if the thread of the perma PRO C (G3/8) corresponds to the connection thread of the lubrication point. If this is not the case, you can order a corresponding reducer or other parts from the perma accessory line. For the initial setting into operation of a perma PRO C, the pump system in the drive unit is pre-filled with SF04 from perma’s standard range of lubricants. An exception is made with regard to lubricants for the food industry. A complete discharge of this pump filling is guaranteed after approx. 10 discharges (carry out additional dis- charges, if necessary). Prior to Operation ♦ Check all parts of the lubricator for obvious damages! ♦ Is the new PRO LC unit filled with the required lubricant? ♦ Is the connecting cable connected to the control system of your equipment and is the supply voltage (DC 15 V to 30 V) applied? ♦ Did you remove protection cover, disc and plug from drive unit (see chapter 1.2)? ♦ Did you assemble and mount all of the parts correctly and tightly?

    ♦ If your control system indicates a malfunction, you have to determine its cause directly via the display of the perma PRO C. You can check for possible causes using the trouble shooting guide (refer to chart 8, chapter 8.3). If the fault cannot be fixed, please contact your local supplier for technical support. Additional discharges and long machine standstills must always be taken into account with regard to the remaining discharge period of the lubricator. Switching the Lubrication System On To turn the lubrication system on, you have to switch on the supply voltage for the perma PRO C. The indication (“ ”) on the display is replaced by an indication of the remaining volume – e.g. % VOL (with a new PRO LC unit) (see figure 13).

    - 18 - perma PRO C 6.10 Impulse Mode via the Connected Control System Discharge of lubricator PRO C can also be triggered via the attached control system. In this case, the lubricator discharges 0.5 cm lubricant to the lubrication point every time it is switched on. For this, you have to switch on the supply voltage via your control system for at least 14 minutes and then you have to switch it off for at least 20 seconds. The minimum operating time of 14 minutes is due to the possibility to connect the perma PRO C to the distributor perma MP-6. This distributor is able to supply lubricant to up to six lubrication points. This means that the distributor needs a minimum operating time of 14 minutes to be able to supply 1.0 cm lubricant to every open distributor outlet. If operated as a single-point lubrication system, the minimum operating time is reduced to 1 minute and the discharge amount per impulse = 0.5 cm For an activation of the perma PRO C lubricator via your control system, you need to set the lubricator to impulse mode via the configuration menu (refer to chapter 6.8). For this, you have to select the setting “ “ Days in the setting mode “Days” (refer to figure 17). Days Days Confi g. Config. Weeks Time Time PIN Time Months Outlets LC2500 LC2500 %Vol.

You should pay special attention to leakage, to the condition of the distributor, and the complete lubrication system! ♦ Regularly check the condition of the grease lines and the connections! ♦ Regularly check the filling level of the transparent PRO LC unit of the lubricator! ♦ After one or several additional discharges, you have to calculate the remaining discharge period and mark it in your lubrication and maintenance schedule. ♦ If a malfunction is indicated on the display, you can determine the cause using the trouble shooting guide (refer to chart 3, chapter 6.2). If the fault cannot be fixed, please contact your supplier for technical support. Additional discharges and long machine standstills must always be taken into account with regard to the remaining discharge period of the lubrication system.

  • Page 64: Setting The Discharge Period

    - 13 - Setting the Discharge Period The discharge period can be set any time via the lubricator and without having to interrupt the operation. It does not matter if the lubrication system is switched on or off, since the system switches back to its original operating status after the changes have been made. For a precise setting of the discharge period, please refer to the Operating Instructions of the connected lubricator. Additional Discharge With an additional discharge, all open lubrication points can be supplied with an additional amount of the lubricant. Each open outlet provides 1.0 cm of the lubricant. For an additional discharge, the lubrication system must be switched on and you have to press and hold down both buttons of the lubricator simultaneously (refer to figure 10). An additional discharge is carried out at each activated outlet (it takes approx. 30 seconds between outlets). This means that if all outlets are open, the process of an additional discharge takes maximum 14 minutes. PRO C MODE MODE ON/OFF SELECT SAVE SELECT SAVE figure 10 For an additional discharge, press both buttons of the lubricator and hold them down. An additional discharge is only possible at temperatures above 0 °C (32 °F). Every additional discharge reduces the remaining discharge period since an increased amount of the lubricant has been supplied. This must be taken into account in your lubrication and maintenance schedule. The time between two additional discharges is at least 30 seconds. Each additional long push of both buttons (figure 10) will be recorded by the system and leads to further additional discharges on all outlets.

  • Page 70 - 1 - Determine Discharge Period Check the lubrication specifications of your application for the correct discharge amount and times per lubrication point that the PRO / PRO C MP-2 distributor outlet should discharge. If necessary, calculate this amount in per 100 operating hours. Double this figure to get the total lubricant amount in cm for 100 operating hours (two lubrication points receive the same amount of lubricant). Go to the chart in the PRO / PRO C operating manual (chapter 6.7). Find your previously determined total lubricant amount in the chart. The chart will tell you the correct lubricator setting depending on the size of the PRO LC unit. Calculation example: Lubrication data listed on the specification plate of an electric motor: 150 cm / 4000 h lubricant per bearing (2 bearings!) This amounts to 3.75 cm per 100 operating hours. Each outlet of the distributor PRO / PRO C MP-2 must discharge 3.75 cm per 100 hours.
