3. Description of function
3.1 General information
The FP 500B with ext. battery compartment is designed as an extremely compact double piston
pump for autonomous operation with oil as lubricant. The two pistons run force-controlled and
counter-rotating. The FP 500B with ext. battery compartment is available as a version with one
lubricant outlet or as a version with two lubricant outlets. The outlets are secured by an integrat-
ed non-return valve. Approx. 0.15 cm³ of lubricant is pumped during each dispensing operation;
multiple dispensers can be set one after the other.
The OLED on the front panel displays the various operating states; further information (empty
cartridge, error) can be read.
The present FlexxPump4 as battery version has no electrical interface. The supplied activation
and programming key can be used to adjust the quantity of grease pumped per time to supply the
lubrication point with the ideal quantity of lubricant.
 The FP 500B with ext. battery compartment is equipped with an external battery compartment
from the factory. Two battery holders are also included in the scope of delivery. Depending on re-
quirements, either the DLS Schmiersysteme GmbH battery pack 6V, or your own primary cells or
rechargeable batteries in sizes R6 (AA) or R14 (baby cells), each with 1.5V voltage, can be used
to supply the FP 500B with ext. battery compartment with power. The enclosed battery holders
are necessary for this.
