6. Operation and Control
6.1 Preparations
♦ Priortotheinstallationofthelubricator,thelubricationpointandthecompleteconnectiontubemustbe
sufficientlyprelubricatedwiththesamelubricantthatthePROLCunitcontains.Forthis,perma-tecoffersa
400glubricationcartridgeforgreasepresseswiththecorrespondinglubricant(referto“Accessoriesand
SpareParts”).
♦ WheninstallingthepermaPRO,thesuppliedperma-tecmountingdeviceshouldbeused.
♦ Thelubricanttubemustbeinstalledandmountedcorrectly.Thelengthofthelubricanttubemaynotexceeda
maximumof5metersandthetubemustbeaperma-tecproduct.
♦ PleasecheckifthethreadofthepermaPRO(G3/8)correspondstotheconnectionthreadofthelubrication
point.Ifthisisnotthecase,youcanorderacorrespondingreducerorotherpartsfromthepermaaccessory
range.
FortheinitialsettingintooperationofapermaPRO,thepumpsysteminthedriveunitispre-lledwith
SF04fromperma’sstandardrangeoflubricants.Anexceptionismadewithregardtolubricantsforthefood
industry.Acompletedischargeofthispumpllingisguaranteedafterapprox.10discharges(carryoutadditional
discharges,ifnecessary).
6.2 Prior to Operation
♦ Checkallpartsofthelubricatorforobviousdamages!
♦ IsthenewPROLCunitlledwiththerequiredlubricant?
♦ Didyouinsertanewbatteryset?
♦ Didyouremoveprotectioncover,discandplugfromdriveunit(seechapter1.2)?
♦ Didyouassembleandmountallofthepartscorrectlyandtightly?


perma PRO -13-
6.3 Setting into Operation
♦ Ifnecessary,mountthedriveunitontoaxingdeviceforwall-mounting(refertochapter4.1).
♦ InsertthebatterysetintothedriveunitandthePROLCunitintotheprotectioncoverandclosethecomplete
system(refertochapter4.2b-d).
♦ Determinethedischargeperiod(refertochapter6.7).
♦ SetvolumeofPROLCunit,dischargeperiod,outletsofMP-6,andthePINviabuttonsondisplay(referto
chapter6.8).
♦ Switch-onthelubricationsystem(refertochapter6.5).
♦ Carryoutanadditionaldischarge(refertochapter6.8).
IfthedrivemotorhasstartedandthegreenLEDislit,thelubricatorhasstartedtodischarge.Thedisplay
indicatestheremainingvolume(%Vol.)ofthePROLCunit.
The operator must always check the customer-specic settings and if necessary change them before the
lubricator is set into operation!
6.4 During Operation
♦ Carryoutregularinspectionsduringtheoperation.Youshouldpayspecialattentionwithregardtoleakage
andtotheconditionofthelubricator!
♦ Checktheconditionofthelubricanttubeandtheconnectionsregularly!
♦ CheckthellinglevelofthetransparentPROLCunitregularly!
♦ Afteroneorseveraladditionaldischarges,youhavetocalculatethereduceddischargeperiodandnotethis
onyourlubricationandmaintenanceschedule.
♦ Ifamalfunctionisindicatedonthedisplay,youcandeterminethecauseusingthetroubleshootingguide
(refertochart7,chapter8.2).Ifthefaultcannotbexed,pleasecontactyoursupplierfortechnicalsupport.
Additional discharges and long machine standstills must always be taken into account with regard to the
remaining discharge period of the lubricator.
6.5 Switching the Lubrication System On
Toswitchthelubricationsystemon(refertogure13),keeptheON/OFF/SELECTbuttonpresseduntilthe
indication(“ ”)onthedisplayisreplacedbyanindicationoftheremainingvolume–e.g. %VOL(witha

6.6 Switching the Lubrication System Off
Toswitchthelubricationsystemoff(refertogure14),keeptheON/OFF/SELECTbuttonpresseduntilthe
displaynolongerindicatestheremainingvolume–%VOL–butindicates(“ ”)instead.Whenthelubrication
systemisswitchedoff,allofthesettingsaresaved.Thismeansthatifyoustartthelubricatoragain,itwilltake
uptheoperationatthepointwhereithadbeenswitchedoff.

6.7 Determining the Discharge Period
Thedischargeperiodisautomaticallyfactory-settosixmonthsaccordingtothesuppliedPROLCunit.
Uponrequest,afactory-settingofthedischargeperiodrequiredbythecustomerisalsopossible.Thesizeofthe
PROLCunitistakenintoaccount.
Ifyouwanttodeterminethedischargeperiod,youneedtoknowtherequiredamountofthelubricantincubic
centimetersfor100operatinghours(cm3/100h).Thisinformationcanbetakenfromthetechnicaldocuments
ofthemanufacturerofthelubricationpoint.
Withthisinformation,youcandeterminethedischargeperiodusingthefollowingchart(chart4).
Pleasetakeintoaccountthatincaseofoneorseveraladditionaldischarges,theremainingdischargeperiod
ofthelubricationsystemmustberecalculated(refertochapter6.9).Thisalsoappliesincaseofacut-offofthe
lubricationsystemduetoalongmachinestandstill(e.g.weekendsorannualholidays).Youshouldalsonotethe
resultofyourcalculationoftheremainingdischargeperiodinyourlubricationandmaintenanceschedule.
The perma SELECT software helps you to determine the discharge period.
