- Page 2 Starting with the main display, each controller consists of four separate channels. The statuses of these channels are represented by the four clock symbols in the upper right. At the time of this snapshot channel one was actively being displayed showing it in a "Wait" state as indicated by the clock symbol with the "Underline"...
- Page 3 The artwork of the main circuit board within the controller is divided into 4 regions/channels from left to right with the outputs/Lube-solenoid drivers at the top and the inputs/Magnetic-pickup connections at the bottom. Several rows of terminal lugs exist numbered from left to right in two groups of eight.
- Page 4 Bus 3, 4, and 5 maintain the same left to right regions as above but provide inputs from the magnetic pickups supporting each region/channel. With Bus:3 – pin:4 being the signal input, Bus:4 – pin:4 being the +24v supplied to the pickup, and Bus:5 –...
- Page 5 +24VDC is supplied from the pumping station to the controller via the connections beneath bus 5.

Page 6: Routine Checks
Routine Checks: Daily checks should be made. The inspecting individual should verify that each "Configured" channel is counting down by viewing the "Tick" count on the front controller display while the appropriate channel is being displayed and its monitored input is in motion. - Page 7 Pump station Control Panel The low pressure alarm contact points were a programmable option... ($$$) So, a McMaster Carr P/N=3427K1 pressure switch was ordered, set, and placed in parallel with the tank Lube Level Switch. The whole point being to force an alarm and avoid pumping lube out onto the floor should the lube line get damaged, and it has, and it works.

- Page 9 Controller Setup / Programming Initially, intentions were to use Channel 1 for Run-out table #2s' Flight-Bar chain and Channel 2 for its primary chain drive. This would leave channel 3 and 4 to be used for identical purposes on press 1. The individual channel profiles can be viewed/changed by entering program mode on the Controller by pressing <Prog>.
- Page 10 360 x 125 = 45000 seconds 45000 / 60 = 750 minutes 750 / 60 = 12.5 hours of "run time/wait time" between lube cycles. <Enter> Controller replies with: "Channel 1 on time" (Use the number pad and left or right arrows to chose) <.025>...
- Page 11 <Yes> This will restart the channel and initiate a lube cycle. This can be done to manually initiate a Lube Cycle by simply entering Program mode and stepping/Entering through all settings (WITHOUT CHANGING ANYTHING!!!) to this point and choosing "yes". <No>...
