System-dependent monitoring
• The main metering device (B, Fig. 7) and the secondary mete-
ring devices are connected by a main line G. This feature auto-
matically causes the linkage of the progressive system connec-
ted downstream of the pump.
• If only one piston does not move in any metering device or if the
metering device can no longer dispense any lubricant via its
outlets, this metering device will block itself.
• If one of the secondary metering devices is blocked, the main
metering device is also blocked. The whole progressive system
installed downstream of the pump stops operating.
• The fundamental internal structure of the progressive metering
device guarantees the self-monitoring of the sequence within the
metering device.
• The linkage makes it possible to monitor the operation of the
whole system.
Visual monitoring
• The metering devices can be equipped with an indicator pin
which is connected to the piston and moves back and forth du-
ring lubricant distribution.
• If there is a blockage in the system, the indicator pin stops mo-
ving.
Note: It is also possible to indicate the movements of the indicator
pin or any blockage in the system by means of a control switch
(KS) or a proximity switch (KN).

• The whole system can be monitored visually via the pressure li-
miting valve. If lubricant is leaking at the pressure limiting valve
during the distribution sequence, this indicates that there is a
blockage in the system.
Important: In the case of the progressive metering devices models
SSV 6 - 12 and the block-type metering devices SSV 14 through
SSV 22 the outlets 1 and/or 2 must never be closed, otherwise
the system would block owing to the structure of the metering
device.
