4) Function/Principle
After starting, the integrated pump transports the lubricant to the outlets according to the settings that have been made.
The integrated electronics control and monitor the amount of lubricant and the time intervals between lubrications.
The Lubricus M Type uses a four-pin socket to connect a M12X1 plug allowing communication with the machine controller. An external 24
VDC power supply is used to switch ON and OFF (voltage 24 VDC +/- 5%), supplied to PIN 1. When voltage is supplied the lubrication
pump is in operating condition. If there are no errors (Pump OK) the input voltage will be transferred to the output signal (PIN 4) indicating
all is OK. Once the voltage supply to PIN 1 is stopped (switched OFF), the pump rests and saves the current operating conditions in
memory. When the pump is turned back on the saved operating conditions will be continued. PIN 4 relays the operating condition.
4.1 Basic operation
All changes to the settings are made with the actuation magnet (ventilation lock). Open the ventilation lock (turn clockwise to OPEN) and
remove it from the cover. The tip of the ventilation lock is your programming key. If there are no desired changes to the settings, please set
the actuation magnet back at its place and close the ventilation lock (turn counter clockwise to CLOSE).

Attention
Lubricus M is designed for minimum quantity lubrication.
Warning: The ALARM LED flashes on the control panel and the display shows "InF" (for information) for 10s.
During this 10s, the operation of Lubricus M is blocked.
.
Acceptable Design:
The specified lubricant quantity refers to the expected life of a piston pump or a pump unit. A service for the verification of the
performance of Lubricus M is recommended. Service interval is 65,000 cycles per pump unit. 65,000 cycles correspond to 10.000
cm³ lubricant. See service: Readout of the device memory.
If a higher demand for lubricant at one lubricating point is required, the outlets of different pump units can be combined
externally.
Please note!
unused outlets must remain open to avoid damage to the pump!
Examples:
1 outlet supplying 1 lubrication point:
Allowed amount of lubricant for 1 lubrication point =
max. 5,000 cm³ at 50 bar back pressure
2 outlets supplying 1 lubrication point:
Allowed amount of lubricant for 1 lubrication point =
max. 10,000 cm³ at 50 bar back pressure
4 outlets supplying 1 lubrication point:
Allowed amount of lubricant for 1 lubrication point =
max. 20,000 cm³ at 50 bar back pressure
Operating Instructions: LUB‐M

7.7 pulse control - acceptable Design
The specified lubricant quantity refers to the expected life of a piston pump or a pump unit. A service for the verification of the
performance of Lubricus M is recommended. Service interval is 65,000 cycles per pump unit. 65,000 cycles correspond to 10.000
cm³ lubricant. See service: Readout of the device memory.
If a higher demand for lubricant at one lubricating point is required, the outlets of different pump units can be combined
externally.
Please note!
Unused outlets must remain open to avoid damage to the pump!
Examples:
1 outlet supplying 1 lubrication point:
Allowed amount of lubricant for 1 lubrication point =
max. 5,000 cm³ at 50 bar back pressure
2 outlets supplying 1 lubrication point:
Allowed amount of lubricant for 1 lubrication point =
max. 10,000 cm³ at 50 bar back pressure
4 outlets supplying 1 lubrication point:
Allowed amount of lubricant for 1 lubrication point =
max. 20,000 cm³ at 50 bar back pressure

11) Service: Lubricus M
Lubricus M ist is designed for minimum quantity lubrication.
A service for the verification of the performance of Lubricus M recommended. Service interval is 65,000 cycles per pump unit.
65,000 cycles correspond to 10.000 cm³ lubricant.
11.1 Readout of the device memory
The number of cycles can be determined by reading the device memory:
Touch for 5s the operating pad (ENTER) with the programming key. Then remove the programming key. The display shows in sequence
the number of cycles for every installed pump unit. The cycles are counted to 65,535.
.
P1 = 17.853 cycles
Thereafter an overflow occurs. Number 1 appears in the display. The cycles are counted again, starting with number 1. 65.535 must be
added to the displayed number. A service of the pump unit is strongly recommended in order to ensure the performance of Lubricus M.
The only other service required is the change of grease cartridge.
