Overview
Overview
Lubmann progressive - single point lubricator - ALP01 has been widely used in industries like wind
power, mining, metallurgy, machine tools, textiles, food, etc. as one of the best price - performance
rate choice.
Our Lubmann single point lubricator lubricates all lube points as required through the lubricator
directly like in Dia. 3.1 or by a progressive dividers system like in Dia. 3.2.It can reduce the friction
resistance, reduce contact wear and decrease the friction surface temperature. Meanwhile, it plays
a supporting role of anti-rust, shock absorption and sealing.

Overview
Overview
The Lubmann single point lubricator - ALP01 is electrically operated by a replaceable 3.6V Lithium
battery cell (around 28 hrs continues running time) with max. 40 bar operation pressure with NLGI
2 grease.
The ALP01 series lubricator differs in various reservoir size 120ml, 250ml and 500ml.No matter
By using a magnet cap on the top cover of the lubricator in Dia. 4.1, the lubricator parameter
setting e.g. test running or preset operation period can be adjusted.

Grease Refilling
Grease Refilling
ALP01 Pump
1. Take off the magnet cap (Dia. 5.1-1).
2. Connect the manual/electrical grease gun with
the greasing nipple under the magnet cap (Dia.
5.1-2).
3. Inject the grease into the reservoir smoothly till
the “MAX. Grease Level”* (Dia. 5.1-2).
4. Disconnect the grease gun and greasing nipple
and clean the greasing nipple, put the magnet
cap back into the position (Dia. 5.1-3).
* Attention: please slow down the grease injection speed
specially when the grease level in the reservoir almost
reaches “MAX” to avoid over-refilling (the grease level can
not be higher than the ventilation).
Important Tipps by the first time grease filling
During the first time grease filling, the air bubble
might be built in the reservoir*. To get rid of the air
bubble, the level of the grease needs to be around 1-
2mm higher than the ventilation hole to drain the air
bubble out of the reservoir (Dia. 5.2).
Start a test greasing cycle to check the lubricant
comes out from the lubricator outlet. Make sure there
is no air bubble mixed in the lubricant. Otherwise
continue the test greasing cycles.
* Too much air bubble might damage the friction pairs.
Please make sure the grease level NOT higher than
“MAX. Grease Level” during a regular refilling
process.
Important Tipps by outdoor or Food Grade
Application
For the high-level environment standard, a grease
film is strongly recommended.
1. Get the air rid of the reservoir.
2. Clean the surface around the ventilation.
3. Put the grease film on the ventilation.

Grease Refilling Period
Grease Refilling Period
ALP01 Pump
Preset of the Operation Period (Theoretical Grease
Refilling Period )
The preset operation period equals the theoretical grease
refilling period, which can be set on the single point
lubricator ALP01.
Based on the reservoir size and preset operation period
which can be adjusted on the lubricator in Dia. 6.1, the
grease consumption per month or per week for the greasing
point or connected divider can be calculated as in the
following table.
Recommended Grease Refilling Period
However, to make sure the grease can be refilled before the
reservoir is empty, a shorter grease refilling period is
recommended (around 80%of the theoretical grease refilling
period) to avoid injecting the air into the fiction pairs or bad
lubrication status.

* The grease consumption volume in the above table is only for single grease point or the inlet of the divider.
For the multi greasing points which connected by divider, depends on the configuration of the divider, which
can be checked in our divider manual.
The greasing volume per cycle is 0.6 cm3.

Control Panel of ALP01
The control panel area of ALP01 single point lubricator is built up by the LED indicator area (⓵and
②in Dia. 7.1)and the EM inductive area (③and ④in Dia. 7.1).
LED Indicator Area: The LED indicator helps the user to get information about the lubricator
operation period and error codes during the operation process through different display modes
such as constant lighting or flashing.
1 - Setup - Month: shows the preset operation period in months in GREEN LED, e.g. 1=1 month,
3 = 3 months, or shows together with error and an error code
2 - Error: shows together with LED of Setup - Month for the error code such as Low Battery or
overloading of the lubricator
EM Induction Area: Users can contact the EM induction area by using the magnetic cap to adjust
the operation period, or to implement a manual greasing cycle.
3 - Test : Test induction point for starting a manual greasing cycle
4 - Setup: Setup induction point for operation period length adjustment
First Time Running
When the single point lubricator ALP01 first connects the battery,
all lights in LED indicator area turn on for 2 seconds, then turn off.
The lubricator default operation period light flashes x times (x
depends on the volume of the reservoir*). Lubricator has been
initialised and starts working under the default operation period
immediately.
* For 120 ml reservoir x=1, for 250 ml reservoir x=2, for 500 ml reservoir
x=5. Dia. 7.2 First time running

Operation Period Adjustment
To change the preset operation period:
1. Use the magnetic cap vertically close to the Setup EM induction
point to active the setting mode till the preset/default operation
period LED turns on, then move the cap away.
2. Use the magnetic cap close to the induction point again for at
least 3 seconds to adjust the length of the operation period.
3. The light jumps to the next value after removing the cap*.
4. Repeat the step 2 and 3to choose the required length of the
operation period.
5. Move the cap away, let the LED of the required value be lighting
for 5 seconds and flashing once to save the setting.
6. Put the magnetic cap back to the top of the lubricator.
Adjustment of the operation period length finishes.
* The jumping sequence is 1 - 3 - 6 - 12 -24 - 1
The original setting of the operation period length is 6 (6 months)
Test Cycle
Use the magnetic cap close to the Test induction point for at least 3
seconds, then move the cap away. The lubricator starts
immediately a manual greasing cycle (fixed running time as around
20 seconds* and the total greasing volume around 0.6 cm3).
During the running time, use the cap to close the test induction
point again can immediately stop the cycle.
During the test cycle running time, the LED for corresponding
setting of the operation period will continue to flash until the running
cycle ends.
Recommended: After the lubricator is long inactive or the battery
is replaced, start a test greasing cycle to ensure that the lubricator
works in goods position and confirm the current setting of the
operation period.
* The length of the manual running time equals a normal programmed
running time, is around 20 seconds. It can be longed depends on the
working situation and type of lubricant (max. 60 seconds).

No Motor pulse Warning
During the running time of the lubricator, the controller will detect
the motor pulse. If less than 2 motor pulse has been detected by
the controller in 45 seconds, the lubricator will send an error code
on the LED indicator area like in Dia. 9.1. The error code lasts for 2
seconds. The battery is reached the lifetime or in low status. A new
battery must be used to replace the old one.
The no pulse warning does not affect the operating status of the
controller. The controller will detect the motor pulse again in the
begin of the next cycle.
Battery replacement process:
1. Take off the old battery.
2. Replace with a new battery.
3. Start for a test cycle.
4. Check for the operation period setting.
Overloading Warning
During the running time of the lubricator, the controller will detect
the working current of the motor in real time. If the detected motor
current is more than 750mA for 4 consecutive seconds, the
lubricator will send an error code on the LED indicator area like in
Dia. 9.2. The lubricator is overloading (internal pressure higher
than 40 bar).
The error code remains until the failure is removed.
Dia. 9.1 No motor pulse
warning (low battery)
Dia. 9.2 Overloading
waring (blockage)
Reason Action
The motor pulse detected but motor stops
running
Check the entire greasing channel, find the
block point and remove it. Start a test cycle.
Low temperature, the lubricant gets harder Change the lubricant and start a test cycle.
Controller detects a working current failure
more than 3 times during the working time.
The lubricator locks the greasing function itself.
Enter the setting mode with the magnetic cap,
the overloading protection will be unlocked
automatically.
