7.1 Functional description of the central lubrication system
The integrated control unit PICO-troniX1 or PICO-tronic are for control of a progressive central lubrication system, a multi
linecentral lubricationsystem or fora mixed system.It canbe installed atthe central lubricationpump PICO.
7.1.1 Lubrication systems
If the central lubrication pump PICO is installed in a progressive central lubrication system, up to two independent
lubricant circuits can be connected. When using the pump as a multi line pump, up to 8 lube points can be supplied with
lubricant.Both systemscan be combinedby means ofthe pumpPICO.
7.1.2 Progressive-central lubrication system
Aprogressive lubricationsystem, isa system thatcan process lubricantsup toNLGI class 2.
A progressive central lubrication system mainly consists of a central lubrication pump and a progressive distributor. The
pump supplies lubricant inthe main distributor.This onesplits up lubricant to thesecondary distributor in the right relation.
Thesecondary distributorsupplies lubricant tothe lube points.
If a lube point would not get lubricant from the distributor, it will block. The builds up pressure that is limited to 280 bar by
means of the pressure limiting valve (ball valve version) that is installed at the pump element (pos. 11 + 12, fig. 1). This
helpsto securethe system.
7.1.3 Multi line central lubrication system
Amulti linelubrication system,is a systemthat can processlubricants upto NLGI class2.
It mainly consists of a central lubrication pump and the lube lines that are directly connected with the lube points. Each
lubepoint needsa separate pumpelement.
7.1.4 Mixed systems
Mixed systems that are supplied by a central lubrication pump PICO, on the one hand consists of a progressive
lubricationsystem andon the otherhand of amulti linelubrication system.
One lubrication circuit with progressive distributors can be connected at the pump elements PE-60 to PE-170 (Pos. 1+2,
fig.1). Onelube point canbe connected atthe pumpelements PE-5 toPE-50 (Pos. 3-10,fig 1).
