2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The flow metering device operates according using a cyclic progressive divider concept: a volumetric piston enables the
operation of the next piston and will continually run as long as flow is being achieved through the device.
The Lubrication metering device is built upon the principle of three pistons. One complete cycle of all pistons is equivalent to
0.35 cm3 dosage per cycle.
Volumetric output is read by an inductive proximity switch: each consecutive leading edge transition of the proximity sensor (ON
to OFF) represents one full cycle the metering device and represents the 0.35cm3 nominal output
Key elements of flow meter (see fig. Par.5):
Volumetric Flow metering;
Separate base plate for easy maintenance
Intrinsically safe Proximity sensor (NAMUR NC);
Removable cartridge filter integrated in feeder body;
Integrated Flow Bypass in case of spool blockage.

14. PRECAUTIONS
The warnings about the risks involved in using a pump for lubricants must be read.
The operator must understand its operation and clearly understand the hazards connected to pumping pressurised grease.
Therefore we recommend the following:
Check the chemical compatibility of the material with which the pump is built with the fluid to be pumped (see chap. 4). An
incorrect selection could cause, in addition to damaging the pumps and pipes, serious risks for people (spillage of irritating
products that are harmful to health) and for the environment.
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure permitted for the pump and the components connected to it. In the case of
doubt, refer to the data specified on the machine plate.
Only use original spare parts.
If components must be replaced with others, make sure they are suitable for operating at the pump's maximum operating
pressure.
Electric current
Do not carry out any work on the machine before disconnecting it from the electrical power supply and making sure that no one
can reconnect it during the operation. All the installed equipment (electric and electronic), tanks and basic structures must be
connected to the ground line.
Inflammability
The lubricant used in the lubrication circuits is normally not an inflammable liquid. It is however necessary to adopt all the
possible measures to prevent that it comes into contact with very hot parts or open flames.
Pressure
Before each operation, make sure there in every branch of the lubrication circuit that there is no residual pressure that could
cause oil to spray when disassembling fittings or components. After long periods of inactivity, check the seal of all the parts
subject to pressure. Do not subject the fittings, pipes and pressurised parts to violent impacts. Damaged flexible pipes or fittings
are DANGEROUS and must be replaced.
Only original spare parts should be used.
Noise
Under normal operating conditions, noise emission does not exceed 70 dB “A” at a distance of 1 metre (39.3 inches) from the
flow meter.
A comparison table is provided between the classification of NLGI lubricants (National Lubricating Grease Institute) and the
ASTM classification (American Society for Testing and Materials) for greases for the values that concern the pump.

For further information about the technical specifications and the safety measures to adopt, refer to the product safety sheet
(Directive 93/112/EEC) relative to the type of lubricant selected and supplied by the manufacturer.
ATTENZIONE! ATTENTION!
Never try to stop or deviate any leaks with your hands or other body parts.
NOTE: Personnel must use protective devices, garments and tools in compliance with current standards with
regard to the location and the use of the pump both during work as well as during maintenance operations.
NOTA: NOTE:
The pump was designed to operate with lubricants with a maximum rating NLGI 00. Use lubricants that are compatible with
NBR gaskets. Any internal residual lubricant used for assembly and testing purposes is NLGI 000 oil.
15. CLEANING
It is necessary to remove periodically dust from pump avoiding the spread in the air. For this operation refers to Safety Officer.
16. TRAINING
Personnel assigned to installation, electrical connections and ordinary and special maintenance of the pump, must have at least
8 hours of specific training by an appropriate organism on equipment for explosive atmospheres caused by the inflammable
gases and combustible dusts.
