Remote Monitor
Note!
These operating instructions describe the installation of an SKF LRM2
Lubrication Remote Monitor on SKF lubrication pumps approved for this application.
Fault signals, fill level control, and interim lubrication can be remotely monitored,
depending on the pump design. Programming is performed using an SKF Monitoring
app installed in the LRM2 on which the pump parameters file (**.db) is loaded.
The additional description of the SKF Monitoring app (951-181-020-EN) provides
information on programming deviating functionality.
The operating instructions for UMTS/HSPA Fault Indicators (951-181-021-EN)
describes all programming options for the LRM2 in detail.
The SKF Monitoring app, SKF LRM2 user manual, and other SKF documents on
programming are stored on the supplied LRM2 USB stick.

○Any malfunctions which may affect safety
must be remedied immediately. In ad-
dition to these instructions, the statu-
tory regulations for accident prevention
and environmental protection must be
observed.
1.2 General behavior when handling the
product
○The product may only be used in aware-
ness of the potential dangers, in proper
technical condition, and according to the
information in this manual.
○Familiarize yourself with the functions
and operation of the product. The speci-
fied assembly and operating steps and
their sequences must be observed.
○Any unclear points regarding proper
condition or correct assembly/operation
must be clarified. Operation is prohibited
until issues have been clarified.
○Unauthorized persons must be kept
away.
○Wear personal protective equipment.
○All safety regulations and in-house
instructions relevant to the particular
activity must be observed.
○Responsibilities for different activities
must be clearly defined and observed.
Uncertainty seriously endangers safety.
○Protective and safety mechanisms must
not be removed, modified, nor disabled
during operation and must be checked
for proper function and completeness at
regular intervals.
○If protective and safety mechanisms
must be removed, they must be rein-
stalled immediately following conclusion
of work and then inspected for proper
function.
○Any malfunctions that occur must be
resolved according to responsibility. The
supervisor must be notified immediately
in case of malfunctions outside one's in-
dividual scope of responsibility.

1st Safety instructions
○Never use any part of the centralized
lubrication system as a stand or step or
for climbing.
1.3 Intended use
The SKF Lubrication Remote Monitor LRM2
monitors SKF lubrication points that are not
connected to the control unit of the system/
machine or vehicle.
In the event of an empty reservoir or an-
other lubrication problem, the LRM2 sends
an SMS or, depending on the configuration,
an e-mail to one or more cellular phones.
The data can optionally be transferred with
the process control level at the customer.
The LRM2’s field of application includes
industrial applications; use in mobile ap-
plications is possible only after consultation
with SKF.
The connection of the SKF Lubrication
Remote Monitor is customer-specific. The
customer must ensure that there is suffi-
cient, continuous network reception. It must
also be ensured that no electromagnetic
interference can occur. The corresponding
1.5 Modifications to the product
Unauthorized modifications and changes
can have an unpredictable effect on safety.
Unauthorized modifications and changes
are therefore prohibited.
1.6 Prohibition of certain activities
The following activities must be performed
only by employees of the manufacturer or
authorized persons due to possibly unde-
tectable sources of error or due to statutory
requirements:
o Repairs or modifications
Electromagnetic Compatibility standards
must be observed.
Any other usage is deemed non-compliant
with the intended use.
1.4 Foreseeable misuse
Any use of the LRM2 other than under the
conditions specified in Section 1.3 and for
the specified purpose is strictly prohibited.
Particularly prohibited are use:
○In an explosion protection zone.

The rating plate provides important data
such as the type designation, order number,
etc.
To avoid loss of this data in case the rating
plate becomes illegible, these characteristics
should be entered in the manual.
