The DNFT-LED is a totally enclosed electronic device, combining the latest MONITORS MOVEMENT OF DIVIDER VALVE technology in microprocessor and transistor components for detecting PISTON FOR DEPENDABLE "TIMED" SHUTDOWN Slow-Flow and No-Flow of divider block lubrication systems. The DNFT incorporates an oscillating crystal to accurately monitor the cycle time of PROTECTION the lubrication system to enable precision timed shutdown capability. The magnet assembly and control housing mount directly to the divider valve to CLOSED LOOP OR OPEN LOOP OPERATION become an integral part of the lubrication system. The DNFT operates on internal lithium battery power, with an expected life of 6 to 10 years INSTALLS DIRECTLY TO DIVIDER VALVE depending on cycle time. PRG-RB model has replaceable battery. If battery voltage drops below normal operating levels, the DNFT goes into alarm NOT AFFECTED B Y TEMPERATURE OR OIL mode and the unit cannot be restarted. The DNFT comes in a wide range of VISCOSITY models to switch voltages of 240 VDC or 150 VAC. Both LED and PRG-RB models utilize an LED to indicate each cycle of the divider valve. This REQUIRES NO EXTERNAL POWER enables the operator to easily set and monitor lubrication rates. The PRGRB model comes with a liquid crystal display to display total pints, cycle LED INDICATOR OR LCD DISPLAY time of divider valve, total cycles of divider valve, and pints per day pump rate. The PRG-RB can easily be programmed for an alarm time from 20 PRG-RB IS PROGRAMMABLE TO DISPLAY: seconds to 4 minutes 15 seconds. TOTAL PINTS OPERATION PINTS PER DAY PUMP RATE Lubricant flow through the divider valve assembly forces the pistons to TOTAL DIVIDER VALVE CYCLES cycle back and forth causing a lateral movement of a magnet linked to the CYCLE TIME OF DIVIDER VALVE piston. Movement is monitored by the microprocessor which resets the timer, lights the LED, and allows the unit to continue operation. This PROGRAMMABLE A L A R M TIME (PRG-RB MODEL) indicates one complete cycle of the lubrication system. The microprocessor must receive this cycle in a predetermined time or a shutdown will occur. The DNFT will automatically reset alarm circuit when DEDICATED SWITCH CLOSURE TO M O N I T O R normal operation of divider valve resumes. EACH DIVIDER VALVE CYCLE (PS OPTION)

B. Spring or Magnet is Broken in Magnet Assembly

Loosen set screws, slide DNFT all the way onto hex of magnet housing and torque to 25 inch pounds max.(Do not over tighten) Cycle divider valve by pumping clean oil through system with lubrication system purge gun or running compressor. If necessary, adjust DNFT 1/16 back until LED blinks with each cycle of divider valve. Loosen set screws, remove DNFT from magnet housing. Remove magnet assembly from divider valve. Remove magnet, spacer and spring. Check components for damage. Replace damaged spring or magnet and install on divider valve. If necessary, adjust DNFT, check for LED blink. Purge air from system with lubrication system purge gun.
Loosen set screws, remove DNFT from magnet housing. Disconnect wiring and attach ohmmeter, red lead to red wire and black lead to black wire. Set meter to ohms. Depress magnet, meter should read 10 Megs. When DNFT alarms, meter should read 3.5 to 6.5 ohms. If over 10 ohms, replace DNFT. If necessary, adjust DNFT, and check for LED

Check system pressure insure oil is flowing to divider valves. If necessary install pressure gauge tomonitor operation of lubrication system. 1. Loosen outlet plugs in front of valve blocks. Fast purge the system with lubrication system purge gun until clean, clear, air free oil appears from plugs. 2. Loosen each piston enclosure plug individually to purge air from behind piston. Do not remove piston enclosure plugs. Tighten all divider valve plugs. Adjust DNFT. To insure proper operation of the divider block lubrication system, it is absolutely necessary that all tubing and components be filled with oil and free of air before start-up. A.
