1 Printed-Circuit Board
Mode of Operation
The sequence of the pause and lubricating times is activated when the machine
contact or driving switch is switched on.
The printed circuit board automatically controls the sequence of the pause and
lubricating times of the model 203 central lubrication pump.
A operating cycle consists of one pause time and one lubricating time. Once the
pause time has elapsed, the lubricating time starts. This operating cycle is repeated
permanently after the machine or vehicle has been put into operation.
During the lubricating time the pump element dispenses the lubricant to the lubrication
points via progressive metering devices.

Pause time
The pause time
• determines the frequency of the operating cycles within a working cycle.
• is started and stopped via the machine contact or driving switch.
• is adjustable.
When the machine contact or the driving switch is switched off, the pause times that
have already elapsed as well as the momentary operating conditions (faults) are
stored and added up by an electronic memory (EEPROM).
This procedure lasts until the time set on the blue rotary has elapsed.
After the machine contact or driving switch is switched on again, the printed circuit
board operates from the point where it had been interrupted.

Lubricating time
A piston detector (initiator Figure 1) which has been installed on a metering device
instead of a piston closure plug monitors and brings the pump lubricating time to a
close after all the pistons of this metering device have dispensed their lubricant
quantity.
The lubricating time depends on the system's lubricant requirement and on the
location of the piston detector (either on the main metering device or on the secondary
metering device).

Monitoring time
A fixed monitoring time of maximum 5 minutes runs in parallel to the lubricating time.

NOTE!
Normally, the monitoring time ends at the same time as the lubricating time.

If there is no switching-off signal from the piston detector (Figure 1) to the printed
circuit board within 5 minutes, a fault signal will occur. The signal lamp flashes (Figure
2) with the corresponding flashing frequency and the pump stops.

Functional check when switching on

Each time the machine contact (external contact) or the driving switch is switched on,
a functional check takes place automatically:
• of the drive motor
• of the signal lamp
During the functional check
• the motor is switched on for 0.1 seconds (the stirring paddle slightly rotates)
• the signal lamp lights up for 2 seconds.
If there is a malfunction of the motor or of the lubrication circuits, the signal lamp
flashes in longer intermittent intervals.

Acknowledging receipt of a malfunction

• Press pushbutton < 2 second to acknowledge receipt of a malfunction(Figure 3).

Note!
Any acknowledged fault remains stored even after the machine contact has been
switched off. Upon switching on again, the signal lamp flashes again in accordance
with the faultl.

The automatic operating cycle is being interrupted as long as the malfunction (motor,
lubrication circuits) lasts.

Function of pushbutton for additional operating cycles

The following functions can be performed with the pushbutton on the control panel
(Figure 3):
• In ready status:
triggering an additional operating cycle - press pushbutton for more than 2
seconds (> 2 seconds).
• In case of malfunction:
fault acknowledgement < 1 second.
in the case of a fault, switch on pump again by pressing pushbutton (> 2 seconds).
