3) Function/Principle
After starting, the integrated pump transports the lubricant to the outlets according to the settings that have been made.
The integrated electronics control and monitor the amount of lubricant and the time intervals between lubrications.
The total operating period of the lubricant cartridge and the desired lubrication intervals have to be programmed before starting the
Lubricus Lubrication System.

Using the table
1. Establishing operating period:
with how much lubricant is the lubrication point to be lubricated per month?
The result is the emptying time (P₁) of the lubricant cartridge in months.
The cartridge empties itself in the P₁ determined time period irrespective of the strokes selected (P₂).
2. Establishing the amount of lubrication per stroke:
how much lubricant should be regularly dispensed to the lubrication point?
The result is the number of lubrication intervals (P₂) per operating period.
Please note: the total amount of lubricant during the operating period is independent of the selected lubrication interval!
Example LUB-V-2:
During the entire emptying time of the lubricant cartridge (= operating period), the lubrication points are lubricated: at P₂=1 a total of
1,350 times per outlet with 0.15cm³; at P₂=10 a total of 135 times per outlet with 1.5cm³; at P₂=20 a total of 67 times per outlet with
3.0cm³; at P₂=30 a total of 45 times per outlet with 4.5cm³ – always at the same time interval. Intermediate steps are possible.
You will find a detailed overview of the various setting options in the appendix of these Operating Instructions.

4.4 Ventilating the lubrication system
Depending upon scope of supply and ordered specifications (e.g. special filling), the lubricant cartridge is already installed or has been
separately packed.
If the lubricant cartridge has not already been installed, the Lubricus pump body/bodies must be ventilated before commissioning (i.e.
the pump body/bodies must be filled with grease) in order to guarantee proper operation.
It takes approx. 20–25 dispensing strokes to fill a pump body.
Ventilation of the pump body is independent of the desired P₁ and P₂ settings.
If the lubricant cartridge is already installed upon delivery, then ventilation has already
been carried out by the manufacturer!

4.6 Quick Check – dispensing an individual dose
For test and sample purposes the installed lubrication pump can easily be used to dispense small amounts of lubricant. For this purpose,
the available pressure between the lubrication point and pump is measured. The value displayed is the back pressure in bar.
To carry out a Quick Check, hold the actuation magnet on the actuation pad until the red LED blinks twice.
An individual dose is dispensed and Lubricus transports 0.15 cm³ per outlet.

As long as the green LED is blinking during operation, everything is working properly.
If the red LED blinks every 5 seconds: malfunction (empty, battery needs changing, excess pressure).
An error message will be displayed.

System malfunctions: switch the device off and on again, the error counter will reset. Settings in the memory will not be deleted.
6) Communication interface (M12x1 connector)
The Lubricus Lubrication System includes a four-pin plug for connection to a M12x1 socket, facilitating connection to your system
controller.
This enables communication with the controller and connection to the power supply.
Voltage for operation, switching on and off is 24 VDC (PIN 1). The lubrication pump is operable
when connected to the power supply. If power is switched off, the device stops and stores the current operating
conditions. When restarted, the Lubricus will continue operating at the stored settings.
If there are no malfunctions (Pump OK) the input voltage will be transferred to the output (PIN 4) = high signal. Low signal means there
is a malfunction.
The display (integrated in the housing) will show the malfunction type. Messages about the
condition of the lubrication system will also been shown on the display
This combination of information sustains the lubrication point independently of the operating time and facilitates
realtime checking of the lubrication system.

Operating instructions: LUB-V 17
9) Installation – Lubricus Lubrication System
2 screws (not supplied) Ø 6mm (for example, M6x40 or longer) are required to install your Lubricus. Tightening torque for the screws =
5Nm. 3 points on the rear side assure a secure hold.
Diagram 8

Operating instructions: LUB-V 18
10) Recommended tube lengths
Use only Grützner GmbH lubrication tubes and connectors.
The lubrication tubes must have an inner diameter of at least 4mm
The Lubricus Lubrication System operates at a maximum supply pressure of 70 bar.
At temperatures of 20°C/68°, the lubrication tubes are not to exceed 5m.
The lubrication tubes are to be shortened accordingly for lower temperatures.
The values listed above only apply in the case of a direct connection between the Lubricus Lubrication System and the lubrication
point. If progressive distributors are being used, maximum lubrication tube lengths are to be halved subject to the temperature.
Installation of a progressive distributor must be carried out immediately downstream from the tube connector/outlet of the Lubricus
Lubrication System. Use only original Grützner GmbH progressive distributors.
All values listed above apply to the standard lubricants supplied by Grützner GmbH.
Please note:
the following applies for low temperatures, stiff/hard grease, NLGI class 2 and complex uses with high back pressure:
 keep tube lengths as short as possible
 minimum inner diameter is Ø 4mm
