Functional description The BEKA ONE is an electromechanical lubricator for lubricating a single lubrication point. The device is designed for oil or grease up to NLGI class. 2 to promote. The BEKA ONE lubricator is designed for autonomous operation. The power is supplied by replacea- ble batteries. The lubricant can be contained either in a follower piston reservoir or in a cartridge. The follower pis- ton reservoir has a capacity of 120 ml and can be refilled. The cartridge, with a capacity of 120 ml, is intended for single use and can be easily replaced. Depending on the lubricant used or depending on the type of battery used and the environmental conditions, 1 to 5 emptyings of the follower piston container or the cartridge can be achieved with one set of batteries. Fig.1: Activation magnet Protective housing Settings button Battery Activation compartment area LED bar The device is a piston pump. This means that 0.24 ml of lubricant is continuously pumped per piston stroke during operation. The amount of lubrication is adjusted on a monthly basis (see chapter 9.6 Setting the month setting). Amount of lubrication per month Amount of lubricant per week Month setting (cm³) (cm³)
Start-up Filling the device 9.1.1 Initial filling when using a follower piston reservoir Before you can install the follower piston reservoir, you must first fill the chan- Attention! nels of the device with lubricant. • Loosen the protective housing by turning it counterclockwise.
