Getting Started- Automatic System (Endpoints)

Overview

The physical installation of the automatic system comprises the endpoint installation and association with the GreaseBoss communications gateway.

A Gateway can associate with many endpoints and also with the manual system hardware if postioned accordingly.

The installation of an endpoint is very simple. Depending on the variety you are using, it is as easy as installing an endpoint device inline with the existing delivery method. For best practice you should try to install as close as possible to the target bearing, mounting directly to a bearing block where possible. This ensures we monitor flow right up to the point of entry to the bearing - hence the name “ENDPOINT”.

In some situations, the endpoint cannot be mounted directly, for example due to space restriction or other practical constraints. In that situation we suggest if possible a rigid line from the endpoint to the target bearing to minimise any possibility of a hose failure downstream of the endpoint going undetected.

See our technical information regarding the endpoint model you are using.

Endpoint Technical Specifications

  • All endpoints (high flow and low flow) use 1/4” BSPP port (inlet/outlet)

  • Bulk flow endpoints use 3/4” BSPP

Installation tips and tricks

  1. Consider the installation location and any fittings or custom hose/line work you may require
    A variety of elbow and male/female JIC fittings are very handy and allow a large variation of situations to be dealt with.

  2. Take images of any challenging installation and ask support@greaseboss.com.au for help/suggestions

  3. Consider power to the gateway communications and let us know well ahead of the installation date
    (240VAC/110VAC/24VDC/12VDC ? )
    Refer to the technical specifications as required and see the Gateway hardware information to understand the gateway hardware and requirements better well ahead of installation.
    Familiarise your electrical and IT teams with the project well ahead of installation

  4. Once the gateway is installed, it can be powered ON and ensured it remains on indefinitely

Commissioning after physical installation

Once you have physically installed your endpoint(s) it will begin communicating with the nearest gateway automatically.

You can invoke a test connection by holding the button down for around 7 seconds, it will hunt and connect confirming connectivity. ( or indicating a failed attempt- handy for determining the BEST location for a gateway to be positioned for example).
