Check that the pump is running. Check that the machine is adequately lubricated (if there is any doubt as to whether it is working properly, contact the DropsA S.p.A. Technical Office to request a test procedure). 8.6. START UP There are no specific regulations, the pump is electrically powered by a system that controls its drive and operates the minimum level contact if the LTC board is not present. -
Page 20: Lubrication Control Principle (Automatic Version)
9. LUBRICATION CONTROL PRINCIPLE (AUTOMATIC VERSION) 9.1. CYCLE OPERATION In this version, the pump is fitted with an electronic board for lubrication control. The control board, located inside the mo- tor housing, gives the pump total autonomy in managing lubrication cycles, alarms and controls. Furthermore, the pump is equipped with three digital inputs for controlling the lubrication cycle, and two digital outputs for monitoring lubrication status and alarms. -
