Starting Procedure

Select the dispensing time and amount of lubricant required, then click the appropriate switch or switches. This action closes a circuit and the gas generation begins.

 Also click on the “LIGHT” switch. The LED light will soon flash and will repeat every 15 to 20 seconds for as long as the circuit is closed. The presence of the LED light assures that the system is in working order.

With the ELECTRO-LUBER, after the circuit is closed, there is a delay before enough gas is formed to start moving the piston. The longer the dispensing period, the longer the delay. If continuous uninterrupted lubrication is required, “prestart” the ELECTRO-LUBER for 12 hours with all switches in the “ON” position. After this time return all switches to the “OFF” position except the ones for the chosen dispensing rate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Operating Procedure

If it is desired to increase or decrease the lubricant dispensing rate during operations, simply click the switch in use to OFF, Then click on the new switch setting.

To turn OFF the ELECTRO-LUBER TM during periods of shutdown click all switches, including the “LIGHT” switch, to OFF.

Removing an ELECTRO-LUBER TM during operation will permit the discharge of lubricant until the point equilibrium in the expandable gas chamber is reached. In a bearing with no back pressure no discharge will occur.

To Prevent Accidents

DO NOT DISMANTLE DISCHARGED ELECTRO-LUBER TM (UNDER PRESSURE UP TO 50 PSI) WITHOUT FIRST PUNCTURING A HOLE THROUGH THE BOTTOM OUTLET (GREASE OUTLET), THROUGH THE PISTON AND INTO THE GAS CHAMBER TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE.

 

 

 

 

 

Adjustment for Temperature Variation

The ELECTRO-LUBER TM dispensing rate is calculated at 20o C (68o F) at sea level, and 14.7 PSI/G. However, as the temperature RISES, the dispensing rate INCREASES. As the temperature FALLS, the dispensing rate DECREASES. To calculate the dispensing rate of the ELECTRO-LUBER TM dispenser at higher or lower average temperatures refer to the following chart, and apply the factor to the charts on the last page.

 

If you do not “prestart” the delay time will be:

Adjustment for Altitude

The ELECTRO-LUBER TM operates in normal fashion at altitudes to 1000 feet above sea level. The dispensing rate will increase above 1000 feet due to reduced atmospheric pressure. For example, at 2000 feet the discharge rate will be 10% faster. For every additional 1000 feet of altitude the discharge rate will increase by an additional 5%. For applications at high elevations please request special instructions.

 

 

Selection of Switch Settings

One stroke from a typical grease gun is equal to approximately one cubic centimetre (cc). To select the switch setting appropriate for your application first look across the temperature row for the approximate ambient temperature for the application. For fluctuating temperature applications, take the average between the high and the low temperature. Next, look down the column for the desired output of lubricant, remembering that 1 cc is equal to approximately one stroke from a grease gun. The switch settings are shown in the left most column.
