LMC 301 controller For reliable control of small, large or multi-system-type lubrication systems Models 86500, 86501 Designed for use with pumps that have no internal controller, the LMC 301 is suitable for applications where sophisticated control and feedback are required. This versatile controller can handle multiple configurations and diverse temperature ranges. The LMC 301 works with multiple system types, including single-line, dual-line and progressive systems. One system can operate three different pumps, and each of those pumps can control up to three zones for a total of nine zones. Also, each pump can function as a different system type.

LMC 301-controlled systems can be configured to verify that lubricant is dispensed LMC 301 controller with AC power supply USB connector for programming with PC Address switch Reset switch 24 V power output for mainboard PE and ground terminals for relay outputs Internal 100 to 240 V AC connection for the AC/ DC power supply unit Power supply Incoming power The LMC 301 utilizes pressure switches and pressure transducers, and a grease monitor sensor can be placed before the lubrication point to verify that the system is working correctly. This is ideal for use on critical bearings where it...

Configure the LMC 301 controller to meet your specifications The LMC 301 utilizes solenoids to control the zones and sensors to monitor the pressure. Because you can select the type of solenoids and sensors used, the unit can be customized to your specific needs and regional applications. Suitable for all industries where small, large or complex lubrication applications are found, the LMC 301 controller is especially applicable for mobile, off-road, mining, construction and large process industries. Typical items for inputs: • Pressure switch – NO or NC • Pressure transducers – 1 to 6 V – 0...

Single-line lubrication system overview Example of a single-line system layout A one-zone system with a pressure sensor at the end of the line in the ideal position. Up to three zones can be added per pump. LMC 301 Wiring Operates vent valve, pump and level sensor Pressure sensor – switch or transducer Indicates to controller that end-of-line pressure is met Regardless of the application, the principle of single-line lubrication remains the same: a central pump station automatically delivers lubricant through a single supply line to the lubricant metering device. Each metering device serves...

Progressive lubrication system overview Example of a progressive system layout A two-zone system with 3/2-way valves. The 3/2-way valves are utilized to expand pumping volume so lubrication of each zone occurs at the same time in quick intervals. An alternative would be to use 2-way valves instead with only two feed lines and increase the pumping time. The LMC 301 can control and monitor up to three different zones. LMC 301 Wiring Turns pump unit on or off Optional level sensor monitoring (not shown) Piston detector Detects operation of divider block for each zone Pump unit With three...

Dual-line lubrication system overview Example of a one-pump, dual-line system layout In conjunction with the piston detectors, the pressure sensors in each line allow the system to automatically adapt to temperature changes by increasing the pump time in colder weather. Level sensor Piston detector Detects operation of divider block for each zone Wiring Turns pump unit on or off Pressure sensors Monitors feed line pressure in each line Change-over valve Change-over valve wiring Dual-line lubrication systems, including SKF DuoFlex and Lincoln Helios, utilize two main lines that are supplied...

Multi-system-type lubrication system overview Example of a two-pump, multi-system layout The single-line system is a two-zone system with 2-way valves, showing the capability of the system in which each pump can have up to three zones. The progressive system is also a two-zone system with 2-way valves, displaying a different type of progressive setup, as compared to the system depicted on the previous page. LMC 301 2/2-way valve Controls operation of each zone One feed line split into two zones Pressure sensor Close to the end of each line for each zone Piston detector Detects operation of...
