Alpha Lubricator System

EMERGENCY RUNNING WITHOUR EXTERNAL TRIGGER SIGNALS

We strongly recommend that all efforts are made to repair the trigger system before
switching to EMERGNECY MODE.

In the event that all trigger signals to the lubricator system fails (angle encoder and pickup
for the BCU (backup control unit) system), it is possible to maintain a certain level of
lubrication by means of an internal stroke generator on the MCU (master control unit) or
BCU card.

This stroke generator emits one pulse per second, i.e. approx. 60 rpm.

To be able to run in this EMERGENCY MODE, the following electrical connections must
be changed:

1. Remove the wire from MCU-J22 terminal 1

2. Connect emergency operation wire (available inside control cabinet in ZIP lock) from
MCU-J52 terminal 4 to MCU-J22 terminal 1

The system now starts lubricating regardless of whether the engine is running or it is
stopped.

The system will also give various alarms.

However, feedback alarms will still function and indicate whether all cylinders are being
lubricated. When running in this mode, the BCU system is not active.

The MCU slow-down function remains active.

Lubrication is effected as “random” and “rpm-dependent”, however with a supplement of

25% of the amount set for the individual cylinders, but with fixed number of revolutions
60.
