(Slave) barrel in case where the first (Master) barrel becomes empty the secondary (slave) barrel will be taken into use automatically by the ST-1240-GRAPH control centre. If the pump configuration is: 1 pumping centre, Dualset, the channels share a doubled pump. The master pump is connected to the master pump control output of channel 1 and the slave pump is connected to the master pump control output of channel 2.
5. OTHER PROPERTIES Collection of lubrication history and analysis The ST-1240-GRAPH saves the centre9s lubrication events into a battery-backed-up memory. The lubrication history data can be read and analysed with the PC software Online1440. The ST-1240-GRAPH support the Windows software Online 1440, which is designed for controlling, monitoring and analysing lubrication systems.

When the operation mode of the channel is ProFlex (progressive lubrication system), the pulse amount counted from the piston detector monitoring the progressive distributor is shown instead of pressure display. The graphic presentation is scaled as percentages to the set pulse count. The bottom line shows the function buttons for the selected channel: "...
7.3.3 Lubrication program phases Phase code Phase description The time elapsed since the start of the previous pressurization is Interval presented in minutes. Interlocking input is in status ON. The interval calculation has been Interlocking interrupted. Closed The lubrication channel is not in operation. Pressurization time has been set to 0s.
7.3.4 User actions on status display The user can give the lubrication channel different control commands depending on the lubrication phase with the function button on the lower right-hand corner of the display. Interrupt pressurisation An ongoing pressurization can be interrupted. The button has the text Stop. In a dual-line system, the next pressurization starts on the other line.
Set value display and changing values 7.4.1 General The user needs a username and password to be able to change the set values. See section: Entering the password The set values may be: " Numbers. When the set values in the blue field are pressed, number buttons are displayed. "...
7.4.2 Parameters to be set Parameter Description The number of lubrication cycles since the last reset. The counter can be reset. Lub. counter Autol.ON/ Autom ON: The lubrication channel is in automatic lubrication mode as per the set parameters. ManualON ManualON: The lubrication channel is in manual mode.
7.4.3 Changing set values Changing the set values is possible, if the password setting is active. See section Entering password. On this page,the password level is A. You can go to this page with the button Passwd. Press the touch screen at the value of the parameter to be changed. The display shows the value input page. Configuration settings of the lubrication channel This page shows a summary of the lubrication channel specific configuration settings that are usually set according to the lubrication system already upon delivery.
Other settings This page shows a summary of configuration settings that are not lubrication channel specific. The page can be entered from the set value display with the Comm conf button. Parameter Description Name The name of the centre, shown on the start display. The maximum length of the name is 10 characters.
Entering password A password needs to be entered when the set values for lubrication need to be changed. There are three password levels: Level A: The lubrication parameters can be changed on the set value page. The password is 1240. Level B: The settings can be changed on the configuration page.
