Installation
Mounting
1. Select a flat surface to install the Lubrication
Controller. Drill mounting holes, refer to Mounting
Hole Layout, page 23.
2. Align the junction box with the pre-drilled holes (FIG.
4). Secure the junction box to the mounting surface
with three screws (not provided).
Wiring
The Lubrication Controller Connector (H) is rated for 240
VAC, 17 A (FIG. 5).
• Output voltage is the same as the input voltage.
• The Lubrication Controller is designed to power a
pump or to provide an enable signal to a pump.
•Sensor Wiring Configurations are located on
page 11.
•Wiring Diagram is located on page 10.
AUTOMATIC SYSTEM ACTIVATION HAZARD
Unexpected activation of the pump lubrication system
could result in serious injury, including skin injection
and amputation.
The Lubrication Controller has an automatic timer
that activates the pump lubrication system when
power is connected or when exiting this device’s
programming function. Before you install or remove
the Lubrication Controller from the system,
disconnect and isolate all system power supplies and
relieve pressure for all system components.
NOTICE
Pre-drill and use only designated mounting holes in
Lubrication Controller box. Failure to use designated
mounting holes can cause circuit board damage.
FIG. 4 Pre-drilled holes
FIG. 5: Lubrication Controller Connector
NOTICE
The pump is designed for 10 A. The auxiliary outputs
are designed for 10 A.
The entire system, however, is only capable of
delivering a total of 15 A.
Therefore, if the pump is a 10 A load, the sensors and
auxiliary output must not exceed 5 A.

Setup
Navigating Setup and Data Entry
UP and DOWN Arrows:
• Press both the UP and DOWN Arrows
simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter
SETUP.
• Use the UP and DOWN Arrows to
navigate screens in the up or down
direction.
• Use these buttons to adjust parameters and data
values.
RIGHT Arrow:
• Use this button to move the cursor to
the right or to select menu items.
• Use this button to save any parameter
changes.
LEFT Arrow:
• Use this button to move the cursor to
the left.
• Use this button to navigate to the
previous screen. This cancels any parameter
change made.
Change Settings
Press both the UP and DOWN Arrow buttons
simultaneously for three seconds to enter SETUP and to
change settings.
Note: Setting changes are not saved until Accept is
selected.
While in SETUP, if a button is not pushed for 1 minute
the Lubrication Controller returns to idle.
Mode
Choose either Interval or End On, but both must be set
up before the Lubrication Controller will be configured
for your application.
Interval
Configures how frequently the GLC X lubricates the
product.
• Select either Timer Interval or Machine Count
Interval.
Timer Interval
This sets up how frequently lubrication occurs.
• Interval: defines the time between lubrication
events.
The idle time shows interval time minus the
lubrication time. If the interval time is 30 minutes
and the lubrication time is 1 minute, then after a
lubrication event the idle time is 29 minutes. The
lubrication events will then be spaced by 30 minutes
(Interval Time).
Machine Count Interval
This configures the device to wait for a specific
number of machine actions between lubrication
events.
The actions must be presented to the device as a
machine count input. This is a digital signal input,
similar to a proximity switch that would be used for
Cycle mode.
• Timeout Option: enables/disables an interval
backup timeout.
• Interval: when timeout is enabled, this feature
defines the backup timeout for machine count.
• Timeout Action: select the action taken (either Lube
or Alarm) when a machine count timeout occurs.
Lube: the lubrication event starts if the target
machine counts do not occur within the user defined
time.
Alarm: an alarm occurs if the targeted machine
counts do not occur within the user defined time.

Setup
3A7031A 13
End On
Configures when a lubrication event ends. Selects the
method the controller uses to transition from lubrication
to idle.
End on, Pressure Sensor
The lubrication event ends when the system reaches a
specific pressure. This is commonly used with Single
Line Parallel (Injector) systems using a pressure switch.
• Alarm: defines maximum time to reach target
pressure.
• Type: select the type of pressure sensor output: 0-5
V, 1-5 V, 0-10 V, and 4-20 mA.
• Units: select the units used for the pressure
measurement: kPa, Percent, PSI, and bar.
• Full Scale: the maximum sensor output reading. For
example, if a 0-10 V sensor is 5000 psi at full scale,
then 10 V = 5000 psi.
• Threshold: the target pressure the system must
reach to end the lubrication event.
End on, Pressure Switch
The lubrication event ends when the system reaches a
specific pressure. This is commonly used with Single
Line Parallel (Injector) systems using a pressure switch.
The pressure switch must be physically set to the
appropriate target pressure.
• Alarm Timeout: defines the maximum allowable
time to reach target pressure.
End on, Cycles
The lubrication event ends after a number of pulsed
inputs from a cycle counter. This is commonly used
with Series Progressive (Divider Block) systems.
• Count: defines the number of cycle inputs required
per lubrication event.
• Alarm Timeout: defines the maximum allowable
time to accumulate cycle counts.
• Solenoid Failure Alarm: if enabled, an alarm
displays if cycle inputs are detected during idle time.
End on, Timer
The lubrication event ends after a specified amount of
time.
• Timeout: defines the amount of time that the system
is lubricating.
Low Level
The pump stops lubricating when low level is detected.
To define low level, enter SETUP, select low level, and
then select Type: Paddle, Switch, or Sensor.
Paddle
Used with “paddle-style” low level sensors, e.g., Graco
G3 grease units.
• Alert: Number of low level triggers to cause Alert.
Recommended setting for Alert is 10 triggers.
• Alarm: Number of low level triggers to cause alarm.
Recommended setting for Alarm is 80 triggers.
Note: Disable the Low Level Alert or Alarm by
setting the threshold to zero.
• Auto-Clear: when in a Low Level Alarm state, the
controller attempts to lubricate automatically upon
powering up.
If within 30 seconds of entering run mode a low level
trigger is not detected, the count resets to 0.
Switch
Defines the low level input as a dry-contact (or source
style) switch that triggers when a low level is detected.
• Type: defines the actions upon low level detection.
Alert: the low level LED turns on. Output two turns
on.
Alarm: enters an alarm state and stops lubricating.
The low level LED turns on and the screen shows
an alarm screen.

Setup
14 3A7031A
Sensor
Defines the low level input as a continuous monitoring
sensor.
• Sensor Type: select the type of pressure sensor
output: 0-5 V, 1-5 V, 0-10 V, and 4-20 mA.
• Threshold: the level that triggers the low level action.
Alert: the low level LED turns on. Output two turns
on.
Alarm: enters an alarm state and stops lubricating.
The low level LED flashes, and the screen shows an
alarm screen.
Note: Disable the Low Level Alert or Alarm by
setting the threshold to zero.
Lock
The controller does not require a PIN to access the pro-
gramming features of the unit. However, an option for
adding PIN lock out is available.
Enable a Lock out PIN
Navigate to the menu item lock.
• Lock: toggles on/off Lock out PIN protection.
• PIN: enter a 4 digit code to unlock the device.
If a lockout PIN is enabled, a PIN must be used to
change settings.
Entering a PIN
When entering SETUP, the PIN entry screen appears
with the first digit highlighted. Use the arrow buttons to
enter the PIN.
After entering the last digit, press the RIGHT
ARROW button to accept the PIN.
If the PIN is correct, the device enters SETUP.
If the PIN is incorrect, the device returns to the main
screen.
Start Up
Navigate to the menu item start up.
• Pre-lube: configures the GLC X to start a lubrication
event once powered on.
• Delay: enables a delay between when the device is
powered on and when the controller resumes.
- Delay Time: if applicable, configures the delay
time.
Output 2
Assign as alarm output or vent valve output.
System
In addition to date and time, enabling Bluetooth®and
disabling an audible alarm are found under this heading.
Date and Time
Navigate to the menu item time.
• Date: defines today’s date.
• Time: defines the current time. This clock runs on a
24 hour clock. (9 a.m. = 9, 2 p.m. = 14)
Additional Advanced Features
Advanced features are accessible through the mobile
app, gracoautolube, available for Android®and Apple®
devices in the app store.
• Generic alarm input: assign unused input to trigger
an alarm.
• Pulsed output: pulses pump output during
lubrication event. Typically used with single stroke
pumps.
