Trico Streamliner DC 30 Mode D'emploi page 6

The values relate to laboratory conditions, with no counterpressure. At low tempe ratures
in particular, the values may vary between one grease type and another. The dispen-
sers must be replaced once the dispensing time set has expired, even if they are not
completely empty.
The grease quantity dispensed
per day is influenced by:
Start-up time:
The lubricator requires a certain start-up time until the lubricant is first dispensed.
The start-up time varies in line with the volume dispensed, dispenser size and operating
temperature selected. At 20°C ambient temperature and a dispensing time setting of
12 months, the dispenser outputs the lubricant within one week. The start-up time dou-
bles at low temperatures (–20°C) or with small dispensers (30 ml).
You can reduce the start-up time in such a case by setting a dispensing time on the
lubricator of one month for one to two days and then changing to the desired dispens-
ing time.
Calculation pro:
An online calculation program is available at www.simatec.com (CPalculation pro). This
tool calculates the right setting for the Streamliner DC lubricator if you enter the precise
operating parameters.
Notes:
In order for the unit to function reliably, it is important to have clear, filled grease lines.
It must be ensured that the grease lines are not blocked. Consequently, the grease lines
should always be cleared with a grease gun before starting.
The Streamliner DC can be re-adjusted or switched off during operation.
The values on the gas generator relate to laboratory conditions (see page 4). Depend-
ing on the temperature and setting, it may take several hours (or several days in the
case of long-term settings) until the lubricant is first dispensed.
The user must check the operation of the Streamliner DC regularly.
Grease lines should be no longer than 0.5 m. Recommended bore diameter: 6 – 8 mm
Resistance in grease lines has to be minimized, narrow passages and right angles
should be avoided.
Use a mounting support in the event of strong vibrations or high accelerations.
The Streamliner DC may only be used to supply a single grease point. No branches
may be made.
Once the lubricator is installed and activated, it must not be removed and mounted
onto another lubrication point.
