VIP5 Controller FEATURES • 3 OPERATING MODES: CYCLE, PULSE AND FLOW. • INTEGRATED LCD – ALL OPERATING VALUES SET BY SIMPLE MENU PARAMETERS • COMPLETE CONTROL AND PROFILING OF HOW STANDBY AND LUBRICATION OCCURS • MULTI-CYCLE CAPABLE • PRESSURE SWITCH MONITORING FOR INJECTOR SYSTEMS • PROGRESSIVE CYCLE SWITCH MONITORING, SUCH AS DROPSA ULTRASENSOR • DUAL LINE PRESSURE MONITORING ON BOTH LINES VIA P1 AND P2 INPUTS • NPN, PNP, NAMUR AND SIMPLE SWITCH INPUTS CAN BE CONNECTED. • MIN/MAX LEVEL MONITORING • PRELUBE FUNCTION • PULSE MODE ALLOWS BOTH STANDBY AND LUBRICATION PHASES TO CONTROLLED BY AN EXTERNAL SIGNAL WHILST MONITORING THE LUBRICATION CYCLE SENSOR • FLOW MODE ALLOWS THE VIP5 TO BECOME A SIMPLE FLOW AND TOTAL FLOW DISPLAY UNIT WITH MIN/MAX FLOW ALARMS A FEATURE PACKED COMPACT ADVANCED LUBRICATION CONTROLLER FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM LUBRICATION SYSTEMS The VIP5 controller has been designed with an extensive set of parameters that offer unrivalled ease and flexibility for controlling and monitoring your automatic lubrication system – from a simple timed system, injector, progressive or dual line system. Three operating modes have been designed into the VIP5 to offer control possibilities not found elsewhere in a single, compact and affordable unit. NO NEED FOR MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF CONTROLLERS ANY LONGER – THE VIP5 DOES IT ALL. 3 BRAND NEW OPERATING MODES: CYCLE MODE: This “conventional” operating mode allows the lubrication system to remain on standby either with a time based system, an external signal or a combination of both. When using a combined mode you can decide if the timer should initiate a Lubrication cycle or flag an alarm condition because no signal has been detected within the timeout. PULSE MODE: This new operating mode allows the external signal to drive both the Standby and Lubrication Phase whilst allowing you to connect your cycle or pressure switch to monitor that your system is operating correctly for the entire duration of the Lubrication Phase. A Suspend Timer function allows the system to suspend the lubrication phase if the driving external signal ceases. This operating mode is ideal for chain or conveyor lubrication where the amount of lubrication is determined by the movement of the conveyor, yet the correct output of lubricant is determined by a cycle or pressure switch connected to the metering devices. • CODED REMOTE ALARM SYSTEM • 4..20MA LEVEL INPUT • CONSTANT OR CONFIGURABLE PULSED PUMP OUTPUT. FLOW MODE: Another new operating mode turns your VIP5 controller into a simple Flow Measuring device. Simply set the flow value and units that each impulse represents and the VIP5 display turns into a flow meter instantly display the flow rate going through your system. A Minimum and Maximum Flow level can be set to give you a local and remote alarm APPLICATIONS • SIMPLE ON/OFF LUBRICATION SYSTEMS • SINGLE LINE INJECTOR OR PROGRESSIVE SYSTEMS. • DUAL LINE SYSTEMS. • SIMPLE FLOW DISPLAY AND MONITORING SYSTEM KEEPING AN EYE ON YOUR SYSTEM: IN ALL THE ABOVE MODES, ONCE YOU SET THE FLOW VALUE PER INPUT CYCLE YOU AUTOMATICALLY GET A SERIES OF COUNTERS THAT LET YOU KNOW THE TOTAL FLOW IN THE LAST HOUR AND THE LAST DAY. ADDITIONALLY A RESETTABLE AND NON-RESETTABLE COUNTER ALLOW YOU TO MONITOR TOTAL LUBRICANT METERED SINCE INSTALLATION OR COUNTER RESET.

VIP5 Controller 3 BRAND NEW OPERATING MODES: 1) TIMER – TIME ONLY Engineering Lubrication systems can be tricky when you are trying to get the right amount of lubricant to each point in a single cycle, but with the MultiCycle feature you can run multiple Lubrication Cycles during a Lubrication Phase making system engineering much simpler. RESET BUTTON MOTOR PUMP MINIMUM LEVEL SUSPEND FUNCTION: When using VIP5 in Cycle mode, the PULSE input can be used to suspend the Lubrication Cycle. This is useful when you are carrying, for example out a tool change, or in a conveyor lubrication where the...

VIP5 Controller OPERATING EXAMPLES VIP5 has three different operating modes which are determined during the setup stage. These are: CYCLE, PULSE and FLOW: CYCLE MODE: Pump on Example 1) Standby and Lubrication determined by ON & OFF Timer Example 2) Standby determined by a counter LUBRICATION PHASE Example 3) Standby determined by a counter and timer combination. LUBE 1 min / 99 hours Lubrication Cycle REPEATED 1-255 Times 0 – 60.000 cycles Example 4) Standby determined by a counter. Alarm signal given if external counter signal not detected within a set time. Alarm STOP 1 min / 99 hours 1...
