  • Page 35 © Groeneveld-BEKA Lubrication duration clock pulse-dependent In this operational mode, you can determine the lubrication duration by the number of incoming clock pulses from a signaling device. The signaling device can be a proximity switch at a progressive distributor for example. The control unit signals error if it does not receive a clock pulse signal within an adjustable monitoring time (de- fault setting 12 min).
  • Page 36 © Groeneveld-BEKA NOTICE BEKA-DiSys diagnosis software You can change setting ranges or the revolution monitoring time (where applicable) with the BEKA-DiSys diagnosis software. Special functions Adaption to the operating conditions This function is available in all three operational modes. Within 30 s after applying the voltage, you can customize the lubrication intervals with a 3-position rocker switch.
  • Page 37: Pico-Tronix1

    © Groeneveld-BEKA Insufficient lubrication This function is available in the operational mode: clock pulse-dependent. Insufficient lubrication occurs when the lubrication cannot be completed during one cycle. The product needs more time for processing the lubrication duration than available by the set cycle time. The control unit signals error, but does not switch off the product.
