Introduction
This use and maintenance manual refers to the CME pump.
Using this pump makes it possible to distribute oil or soft
grease in lubrication systems.
The latest version can be obtained by contacting the Sales
Technical Office.
The pump that this manual refers to must be used by qualified
personnel with basic hydraulic and electrical knowledge.
This use and maintenance manual contains important
information to protect the health and safety of personnel
who intend to use this equipment. This manual must be read
carefully and kept in good conditions so that it is always
available tooperatorswho intend to refertoit.
2.
Application
At this point the pressurised lubricant will activate a release
valve, which will discharge the pressure inside the tank and
enablethevolumetricvalvestobefilled.
The process repeats each time the motor is switchedon and
off.
When the system is at rest, a check valve maintains the main
line at a pressure of 0.5/0.6 bar, thus preventing air from
entering.
Thestatuschangeofthepressureswitchduringoperatingtime
allows us to ensure there are no oil leaks in the main line.
The lack of lubricant inside the tank is signalled by a minimum
level sensor.
4. Technical specifications
The CME gear pump has been designed for use in single-line
or air + oil centralised lubrication systems. These systems use
the principle ofpressure and release pulses andthe lubricant is
sent to the volumetric valves or to the mixers positioned near
thepoints of the machine to be lubricated.
Any use other than described above shall not be in agreement

3. Operating principle
The pump sends pressurised lubricant through two side
outlets. This way the customer can connect the main pipe to
bothoutletsorto oneonly,pluggingtheunusedone.
When the motor is powered on, by an internal timer or an
externalPLC,thegearpumpisactivated, whichsends lubricant
from the reservoir to the distribution network through the two
outlets or through the selected one.
Pressurisation of the distribution network forces the volumetric
valves, whose metering chamber has been filled since the last
lubricationcycle,tosendthevolumeoflubricantinsidethemto
the points. Onceall thevalves have beenactuated, the pressure
will increase until a pressure switch is triggered and, after a
short time, it will be possible to interrupt motor operation.

Installation
Onlyinstallthepumpinahorizontalposition,fasteningitto the
wall by two M6 bolts.
Anareaofferinga view ofthefrontpanel,easyaccessincase
of maintenance, easy access to the filling system and easy
connection to the distribution network is recommended.
Arrange space below the unit for any tank disassembly.
The unit allows connection to the distribution network from two
outlet ports and is supplied with a ¼” Gas cap installed on the
left side. In caseof supply from the left side, the cap must be
movedtotherightside.Ifthedistributionnetworkispresenton
both sides, the cap must be removed. The two outlets are both
¼" Gas and the 6 mm pipe fitting must be ordered separately
(codes below).

network, without creating pipe sections that go up and down.
This is in case air enters the distribution lines. Air bubbles
tend to rise towards the end of the distribution line and are not
removed along the way. The presence of air bubbles along the
distribution line prevents the correct operation of the metering
valves and mixers.
Use the pressure switch to check for leaks in the main line
during the lubrication cycles. For systems with a main line
exceeding 8 m, we recommend installing a pressure switch at
the end ofthe main line and not connecting the one onthe unit.
Caution!
All electrical connections must be set up by
qualified personnel and all requirements of
local regulations must be followed. Refer to
the electrical connection diagram for correct
wiring.
Caution!
The unit must be protected by a differential
magnetothermal switch with a breaking
threshold of 0.03 A and a max time of 1
second (breaking power = 10 KV – rated
current = 4A).
6.
Commissioning
The tank is filled with clean lubricant, without exceeding the
MAX level, by means ofthe load cap complete with filter (incase
of oil). It must be recommended by the machine manufacturer
and must comply with the following viscosities
ZZZ106-105-L ZZZ106-005-L
The unit is supplied with two cable glands, one for voltage and
the other for the controls.
All rigid pipes, flexible hoses and fittings must be compatible
with the lubricant, the operating pressure and the surrounding
environment. In general, try to install the unit in the lowest
position (vertically) in relation to the rest of the distribution
Loosen the cap in the distribution network furthest from the
unit. Supply the pump until lubricant leaks, air-free, from the
loose cap. Tighten the cap, run lubrication cycles until the
lubricant comes out ofthe volumetric valves. Fill the secondary
pipes with additional cycles. The system is now ready to
lubricate all points.

Maintenance
14. Maintenance
Premature wear of pump gears and other moving parts is caused by contaminated and dirty lubricants.
Failure of the volumetric valves which, as a consequence, do not send lubricant to the points, is caused by the presence of air in the
distribution network or by contaminated lubricant. The unit does not require special maintenance if you avoid using contaminated
lubricant and injecting air into the hydraulic circuit. Before performing any operation, make sure you have disconnected the power
supply.
The maintenance table shows the main faults, causes and solutions. If the problem cannot be solved after consulting it, contact
the technical office at ILC.

Operation
16. Operation
16.1 General information
The pump operates automatically. However, the flow of the lubricant inside the piping must be checked periodically.
The filling level of lubricant in the reservoir, being installed, must be visually checked periodically. If an excessively low lubricant level
isdetected, itmustbe toppedupto the maximum marking asdescribedinthe"Commissioning"chapter.
The information provided by the manufacturer of the machinery and of the lubricants must be strictly complied with.
Caution!
Only fill clean lubricant using a suitable device. The use of contaminated lubricants may cause very severe system
malfunctions. The lubricant reservoir must be filled avoiding the formation of bubbles.
Caution!
Do not mix different types of lubricants, as damage may occur, resulting in expensive cleaning operations of the product/
central lubrication system. To avoid confusion, it is recommended to apply a note on the reservoir identifying what lubricant
was used.
16.2 Commissioning
Before commissioning the product, it is recommended to check all electrical and hydraulic connections and, if applicable, the
pneumatic connections.
Thelubricantmustbe supplied without bubbles. Forthis purpose,fill the reservoirwith cleanlubricant. Then, runthepumpuntil the
lubricant comes out of all lubrication points without bubbles.
The purge cycle of the central lubrication system is carried out by opening the ends of the main pipe, so that lubricant comes out
from this point without bubbles.
The inclusion of air in the lubricant greatly affects system operation, with potential damage due to the lack of lubrication of moving
parts.

Precautions
18. Precautions for use
Itis necessary to carefully read the warningsontherisks related to using a lubricant pump. The operator must know how itfunctions
and clearly understand the hazards of pumping pressurised lubricants.
18.1 It is recommended to
• Check the chemical compatibility of the materials that the pump is built with, with the fluid to be pumped. A wrong choice may
cause, in addition to damage to the pumps and pipes, serious risks for people (leakage of irritating and harmful products to
health) and for theenvironment.
• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure value allowed by the pump and by the components connected to it. In case of
doubt, refer to the dataonthe machine plate.
• Only use original spare parts.
• Should it be necessary to replace components with others, make sure that they are suitable for operating at the maximum
operating pressure of thepump.
• Never attempt to stop or divert any leaks with your hands or other parts of your body.
• Note: Personnel must use protective devices, clothing and tools that comply with the regulations inforcein relation to the
location andto the use ofthe pump both during operation and maintenance operations.
18.2 Flammability
Thelubricantusedinlubrication circuits is nota normally flammable liquid. However,itiscrucial to adopt allprecautions possible to
prevent it from coming into contact with very hot parts or open flames.
18.3 Pressure
Before every operation, make sure there is no residual pressure in any branch of the lubricant circuit, which could cause oil to spray
when disassembling fittings or components.
After long periods of inactivity, check the tightness of all the parts subject to pressure. Do not subject the fittings, pipes and pressurised
parts to violent impact. Damaged flexible hoses or fittings are DANGEROUS, replace them. We recommend only using original spare
parts.
18.4 Noise
Under normal operating conditions, the noise emission does not exceed a value of 70 dB "A"at a distance of1 metre (39.3 inch) from
the pump.
Use of the pump with NLGI00 consistency greases must be evaluated on a case by case basis, due to the extreme difference in the
pour properties of the compound, depending both onthe viscosity ofthe base oil but also onthe soaps and additives used.
For further information about the technical features and the necessary safety measures, refer to the Product Safety sheet (Directive
93/112/EEC) regarding the type of lubricant chosen and supplied by the manufacturer.
