Digital Lubrication Monitor Model DLM-920 - Part# 000190
MONITORS AND RECORDS OPERATION OF DIVIDER BLOCK LUBRICATION SYSTEMS
FAILSAFE-OPEN AND CLOSED MODES
STANDARD DIGITAL READOUT
EXTERNAL POWER: NOT REQUIRED
EXPLOSION PROOF
TIMED SHUTDOWN PROTECTION
PROGRAMMABLE ALARM TIME
DC POWERED
The DLM-920 operates with two (2) "AA"
regular or alkaline batteries which are
easily replaceable. The low-cost batteries
have a life expectancy of between 5 and
10 years depending on the cycle time of
the divider block. The DLM-920 comes
equipped with a "Low Battery Function".
The Cycle Indicator light is the “Low
Battery” light. After thirty (30) days of
flashing the low battery warning, the DLM-
920 will go into alarm state and cannot be
reset until batteries have been replaced.

DESCRIPTION
The DLM-920 is a digital microprocessor control device specifically
designed to protect gas compressors from damage due to loss of
lubrication . Lubrication to the compressor flows through a divider
block lubrication system forcing an internal piston to cycle back and
forth. With the Proximity Switch, ordered separately, mounted to
one of the divider blocks, this back and forth movement results in an
ON/OFF state which the DLM-920 continuously analyzes. If no
movement is detected, the DLM-920 will activate the alarm delay
which is easily adjustable from 20 sec's. to 4 mins. 30 sec's. When
the alarm delay expires, "shutdown" of the compressor will occur preventing any damage.
OPERATION
The DLM-920 alarm time can be viewed by pressing and
holding the "Reset" button which will reset the "Cycle
Indicator" to zero and flash the alarm time at one second
intervals. To view changing the alarm time, simply hold the
"Reset" button down and turn the potentiometer. Adjustment
of the alarm time is possible without holding the "Reset"
button down so that the counter does not reset to zero. The
alarm time is not affected by temperature change. The DLM-
920 is a bipolar device. It is not necessary to determine the
polarity of the wires coming from the annunciator, PLC, or
other types of shutdown controllers because the closed loop
and open loop alarm circuits are bipolar.
