This manual contains important operating and safety information for users of this product. It is essential that you carefully
read this manual and conserve a copy with the product so that other users may consult it at any time.
1.1 DEFINITION OF LUBRICATION AND STANDBY PHASE, LUBRICATION PHASE, AND LUBRICATION CYCLE
In this manual the LUBRICATION PHASE and
LUBRICATION CYCLE refer to the specific
instances when the lubrication pump is operating
to provide lubrication in a system.
The LUBRICATION CYCLE is made up of: Cycle
Start -> Control of a sensor device -> Delay time
to allow sensor device to stabilize -> Wait Time
before another Cycle Start. This sub-cycle can be
repeated as many times as required and the
completion of this repetition is considered the
LUBRICATION PHASE. Fig. 1 illustrates this
graphically.
The STANDBY PHASE defines the interval between each LUBRICATION PHASE.
2. PRODUCT MARKING

5. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING PROCEDURES
The VIP5 Pro Atex controller has three operating modes:
1. CYCLE 2. PULSE 3. FLOW
CYCLE and PULSE modes are designed for intermittent or continuous lubrication system that requires the control of a pump
and monitoring of feedback signals to determine when lubrication has successfully completed.
FLOW is designed as a monitoring only operating mode that allows the user to monitor a pulse signal and determine the
actual flow rate. This is useful for process control and generally used in re-circulating systems.
5.1 CYCLE and PULSE Control System operating Principles.
The VIP5 Pro Atex control system is designed to control intermittent or continuous lubrication system with a variety of
control inputs. Intermittent operating principle is based on three distinct phases.

3/25
PRELUBE Phase -> Pre Lubrication that occurs during power up of a system.
LUBRICATION Phase (Lube –> Wait stages) -> This is when lubricant is provided (as above)
STANDBY Phase -> The system is inactive awaiting for the next LUBRICATION PHASE
Additionally, the VIP5 Pro Atex Control system can also be used as a simple monitoring device in the “FLOW” operating
Mode described later in this manual.
5.1.1 PRELUBE Phase
The user can specify the number of lubrication cycles up to a maximum of 250.
If Prelube is set to zero, the VIP5 Pro controller controller will not perform any pre-lubrication; in this case if the START
parameter setting is "Resume", when the system is turned on it will revert to its pre-power down, or it will start from a
lubrication cycle if the setting of the start is "Lube".
When Prelube is set greater than zero, pre-lubrication will start in the following cases:
-When the VIP5 Pro controller system is powered on;
-After the RESET button is pressed;
-After the VIP5 Pro controller exists from the SETUP menu.
5.1.2 LUBE (Lubrication) Phase
The Lubrication Phase is a set of Lubrication Cycles that can be repeated up to 250 times.
A Lubrication Cycle consists of activating the lubrication pump, then Control monitoring a feedback signal from a sensing
device if installed. There is then Delay period before switching off the pump, and a Wait period before the lubrication cycle
can be repeated. Specifically:
-Cycle (time) determine how long to wait for the control signal before determining an alarm condition.
-Control (Type) determines what kind of control signal (Single Line, Dual Line, Injectors). Alternatively a Timer only
setting means no monitoring will occur.
-Delay (time): Is how long to wait for the signal to be confirmed and switch off the pump (in Pressure switch
applications).
-Wait (time): determines how long to wait in a pump off condition before repeating the cycle. This is necessary in
injector systems and represents the minimum time required for the injectors to reset. In progressive systems for
example this can be set to zero.
5.1.3 STANDBY Phase
During the Standby the VIP5 Pro Atex switches off the pump and waits for the start of another Lubrication Phase. The
duration of the Standby phase can be determined by a countdown timer or a by an external pulse signal that can be used
as a counter. The VIP5 Pro controller also allows a combination of both timer and external pulse signals to determine
either the next Lubrication phase or to signal an alarm if external pulse signals are not received within a pre-set time.
5.2 FLOW MODE OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The VIP5 Pro controller can also be used as a simple Flow monitoring system. When Flow mode is selected the unit
operates as a flow display and monitors an external signal to calculate the flow based on external impulses. The User can
additionally set a minimum and maximum Flow limit. If the flow is out of these limits, the remote alarm contact and the
alarm LED on the front panel are both activated.

These connections are routed from the main terminal boards on the 1639187 board according tables below. For
correct wiring you should note the following:

9/25
1. All input and output signals refer to a nominal voltage of 24Vdc.
2. The outputs on terminal board M1 refer to voltage indicated as Vio on terminal 6 and 7 of M2.
3. The framework is provided with (Vio) power supply input coinciding with (Vint) internal power supply via bridges
on the terminals: M2: M2.5 with M2.7, M2.4 with M2.6
4. Outputs equipped with galvanic insulator; If you want to enter with active signals alimentation is taken outside the
framework is necessary to remove the connections on M2.5 with M2.7, M2.4 with M2.6; In this case is also necessary
carry this power to M2.7 e M2.6 in according to polarity.
5. Dual line command connections on M5 are configured for 24Vdc changeover valve. If the changeover solenoid use
different power supply, remove connection on terminal M7 and M5 and carry to M5 and connect the appropriate
voltage on M5.3 and M5.4.
6. Connections on terminal M6 are not clean contacts.
7. Connections on terminal M4 are SPDT type clean contacts.
For further details also check the completed electrical diagram enclosure with your specific equipment.
NOTE: To connect micro-switches or clean contacts inputs, equipped by creating a terminals for the
positive power supply (+) and the relative input P (IN +), you must make a link between (+) and (IN+) after
that connect the 2 wires of micro-switch at (-) or (IN-)

6.2 ACTIVATING THE BATTERY FOR REAL TIME CLOCK FUNCTIONS
By inserting the Jumper into the bridging pins, the battery function is activated and this allows the VIP5 Pro controller
to operate with the Date/time and status save function when the power is removed.
6.3 PRECAUTIONS TO BE USED WHEN CARRING OUT WIRING
There is no specific safety risks associated with this device. Use general precautions that you would use when
operating an electrical device. All wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
•Before wiring the panel ensure correct voltage as indicated on the product label.
•Only perform wiring operations once you are sure power is off and cannot be accidentally switched on.
•A circuit breaker that is easy accessible must be used in the wiring of the pump. Ensure the break contact has a
contact distance of at least 3 mm
•The power connections and pump must have armoured insulation until entrance into the terminals. The cable must be
positioned to have no damage to the insulation sleeve.
•Up to the terminal connections. The cable must be routed to avoid damage to the outer isolation sheaf.
•It is advisable to use a fuse or a differential isolation to protect the device. The device should have a recommended
value of 0,03 Ampere with 1 milllisecond maximum activation time. Isolation capability ≥ 10kV and nominal ln=6A.
Note: Every time the battery jumper is removed and reinserted causes the DATE/TIME function to be
set to zero. Therefore it is recommended that after inserting the battery jumper, the date and time is
set.

8. OPERATING MODE
VIP5has three different operating modes which are determined during the setup stage described previously.
These are: CYCLE, PULSE and FLOW.
8.1 CYCLE Mode
In Cycle mode a cycle sensor determines the completion of the LUBRICATION PHASE. If using timer setting, the Lubrication
Cycle will complete when the timer expire. The Standby phase is determined by a timer or by an external input counter.
8.2 PULSE Mode
In Pulse mode, the duration of the Standby Phase and the Lubrication Phase are both determined by an external counter.
The correct operation of the Lubrication Cycle can be monitored using a cycle sensor.
Fig. 7
Example:
Standby Phase determined by the Pause Counter, and lubrication Phase
determined by Cycle Counter.

8.3 FLOW Mode
Using this mode allows the VIP5 Pro controller to be used as a simple flow monitoring and display device.
8.4 PRELUBE
The Prelube cycle is a pre-lubrication cycle that is triggered when the system is powered on or reset. If the pre-lube cycle
value is set to 1 or greater the VIP5 Pro Atex will perform the set number of Lubrication Phases.
Note that if Each Lubrication Phase comprises two or more Lubrication Cycles,then the total cycles performed will be
equal to the Lubrication Cycles multiplied by the Prelube Cycles.

9. CYCLE MONITORING
9.1 MONITORING OPTIONS.
There are four possible Cycle Monitoring Options, explained below.
2) TIMER – TIME ONLY
The Lubrication cycle is simply operated
according to a preset Timer value.
Therefore, no input is monitored to

1) DL – DUAL LINE
Dual Line cycles generally use two pressure
switches connected to P1 and P2.
The VIP5 Pro controller starts the pump
and must see that P1 switch is closed
within the timeout time. After this, the
Lubrication lines are inverted by use of a
directional valve.
The P2 switch must also then be made
within the timeout timer setting.
A user configurable DELAY timer can be set
to filter pressure spikes as in the PS
operating mode.

4) SEP – SERIES PROGRESSIVE
Series progressive Operating mode is used
for Cycle switch monitoring typically on
progressive systems.
The Pump is switched on and P1 input is
monitored and must change state twice
within the timeout period otherwise a
timeout alarm will be generated.
Once P1 changes state twice, the pump is
switched off and VIP5 Pro controller
goes to standby or the Lubrication Cycle is
repeated for the desired number of times.
There is no WAIT time in this mode as
progressive systems do not need venting

3) PS – PRESSURE SWITCH
Pressure switch monitoring is typically used
in injector system.
The VIP5 Pro controller will monitor
input P1 to verify that it is an OPEN contact
at the start of the cycle.
The pump is activated and the pressure
switch must CLOSE within a timeout period
otherwise a cycle alarm is generated.
Once the P1 contact is closed, a DELAY
timer checks that the switch is not broken
for a set time before switching off the
pump. This ensures that pressure spikes at
the start of a lubrication cycles on long lines
are filtered out.
A WAIT timer can be set to allow the
injectors to reset when using multi cycle
configuration.

10.2 MENÙ BASIC / EXTENDED
All’avvio il VIP5 Pro presenta un menù "BASIC" che consente all’operatore un rapido settaggio iniziale dell’impianto. Questo
menù è molto utile per configurare i parametri principali di un ciclo ed è prevalentemente utilizzato con il prodotto VIP5.
Per questo tipo di prodotto invece, nato principalmente per la gestione di impianti a linea doppia, è necessario selezionare
“extended” per accedere al menù completo di configurazione.
Per la lista completa dei parametri avanzati del VIP5 Pro impostabili tramite menù esteso fare riferimento alla tabella del
par. 10.3.
