User's Instruction – TWIN-3 System

Automatic Twin-3 Lubrication System with Twin-3 display

The system consists of:
A lubrication pump with integrated control unit.
Distribution blocks with metering units.
A display that indicates failures, low level or
push-button for choosing interval time modes.
System performance:
The system performs all operations automatically. After the
ignition is switched-ON the pump will at pre-set intervals
supply measured quantities of lubricant to all grease points.
After system is powered up the Twin-3 display indicates the
active duty mode (Green LED ).
Twin-3 display:
With the switch-button a desired operating/test mode can be
selected or errors can be reset. The Twin-3 display is
equipped with a 3-digit display. Herewith errors, the active
duty and test mode can be displayed. The decimal DOT
indicates whether the interval timer remains or is on standby.
The green LED indicates that the system is activated.
The yellow LED indicates when the minimum grease level
has been reached. The red LED indicates a malfunction.
Changing the duty mode:
+ +
Light duty cycle Medium duty cycle Heavy duty cycle
(long interval times) (medium interval times) (short interval times)
Push the switch-button at least for 5-seconds. Accordingly,
the 3-digit display starts flashing; Push the switch-button
repeatedly until the desires mode shows. Leave desired duty
mode flashing for at least 6-seconds until the duty mode
comes on confirming the desired duty mode has changed.
Filling the reservoir:
If the yellow LED is lit, the minimum level of the reservoir has
been reached. The reservoir has to be refilled as soon as
possible.
Remove the dust cap from the filler coupling.
Carefully clean filler coupling & coupling on the filler hose.
Connect the filler hose to the filler coupling at pump.
The maximum pressure to fill the reservoir is; 800 PSI,
to avoid damaging of the filter. Fill the reservoir up to
the maximum level, which is indicated on the reservoir.
Remove the filler hose and fit the dust cap on filler coupling.
Note:
- The filler coupling / filter need to be cleaned every 500
hours or when excessive resistance is felt when refilling.
Testing the Twin system:
Performing a single lubrication cycle:
Switch ignition ON.
Push the switch-button for at least 5-seconds at display.
Accordingly, the 3-digit display starts flashing.
Push the switch-button repeatedly until code “T1” shows.
Leave the code “T1” flashing until code comes on.
The system will operate a single greasing cycle.
During operation the green LED at Twin-3 display
will flash slowly (2-sec. on / 2-sec. off).
Or push the test-button at pump unit for 2-4 seconds in
order to perform a single cycle.
In order to provide additional grease to all grease points
(i.e. after cleaning the machine) or to bleed the system, a
continuous lubrication cycle can be performed.
Performing a multiple lubrication cycle:
Switch ignition ON;
Push the switch-button at least for 5 seconds at display.
Accordingly, the 3-digit display starts flashing;
Push the switch-button repeatedly until code “T2” shows;
Leave the code “T2” flashing until code comes on.
The system will operate a multiple greasing cycle.
+ During operation the green LED at Twin-3 display
will flash quickly (0.2-sec. on / 0.2-sec. off).
Or push the test-button at pump unit for 6-10 seconds in
order to perform a multiple cycle.
Switch OFF the ignition to finish the multiple greasing cycle.
Grease recommendations:
Molybdenum (MoS2 / 5%) is allowed in the system.
For restrictions please contact your Groeneveld dealer.
Use of the correct grease in the TWIN-3 system is of
utmost importance (see table below).
Do NOT use grease with the following additives:
- Teflon (PTFE), Graphite and Copper base.

TWIN Malfunction reports of the TWIN-3 System with Twin-3 display

General malfunction
1. All grease points appears to
receive insufficient grease and
no malfunction report is shown
at the Twin-3 display.
2. All grease points appears to be
over greased.
3. 1 or more grease points appears to
be dry while other points receive
sufficient grease.
d.) 1 or more grease points receive
excessive amount of grease while
other points receive sufficient
grease.
